“I want to see Her Highness the Princess after a long time…….”
As Graham mentioned Carson’s sister, he finally turned his head slowly towards Earl Graham.
“Who do you want to see?”
Carson, who had taken off the mask he had been wearing well so far, no longer raised his voice towards the Earl. As he let go of his words, Ines involuntarily shrank back as if she had faced an angry god.
Earl Graham also did not easily speak, and straightened his body, coughing dryly.
“Since we’ve been like family, wouldn’t you naturally want to see her?”
“Been like family…….”
Graham was calmly smiling, but he could not hide the slight trembling at the end of his mustache.
“Does Earl Graham bid farewell to a familylike person in such a violent way?”
At Carson’s continued words, the Earl could not even feign a smile.
“What…… It seems there’s a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? What are you talking about? Ah, you mean when Earl Graham sent my sister, that is, the Princess of the Cainz Empire, outside with just a single maid? Are you talking about that?”
“Ah, that is…….”
Whether the words were unexpected, Graham could not continue his response.
“That’s enough, it could also mean that your domain and the security of Landhill are excellent. As long as there are no unilateral, sudden attacks.”
Carson could clearly read the thoughts of the old fox standing in front of him. While he was in the royal family, Earl Graham often came to the palace to meet the Empress. Each time, Carson would just hold his breath no matter what he said.
So it was impossible not to be surprised when he openly confirmed his crime like this.
At that time, his sister had been in Graham’s hands, but no longer.
The head of the noble family standing in front of Ines could not bear the heavy atmosphere of the two lords. Eventually, he couldn’t get a single word across and hastily cleared Carson’s front with his family.
Then the turn was immediately given to the Swellden family.
Ines’s father had no choice but to bow to Carson.
Then Carson extended his hand with a bright smile towards Swellden’s Baron.
“Nice to meet you, Swellden’s Baron.”
Carson, who had treated Earl Graham condescendingly as if it was a matter of course, was using polite words to Swellden’s Baron. Since all the heads of the noble families had exchanged handshakes with the new lord, Andrew also had no choice but to take his hand.
“Yes, my lord. I am pleased as well.”
Earl Graham was staring intently at Andrew.
An embarrassed Andrew hurriedly tried to get away from there, but Carson did not let go of his hand.
“I should have visited you to thank you.”
Andrew quickly realized that this was related to Her Highness the Princess, whom his daughter had rescued.
“No, it’s my family’s honor to have been able to keep Her Highness safe.”
“You have raised your daughter excellently, Baron.”
“You are too kind.”
Then Carson naturally looked at Ines. As their eyes met, she felt startled. He asked her with a soft smile.
“Have you fully recovered?”
“Thanks to your concern, I am well now.”
“I’m glad.”
Carson, still holding Andrew’s hand, turned his gaze back to Earl Graham.
“I had something to say to both of you anyway, and since the parties involved are here, it wouldn’t be bad to talk about it here.”
“Parties involved? Who do you mean?”
Earl Graham furrowed his brow and asked.
“Why, surely it must be Earl Graham and Swellden’s Baron?”
At that moment, Ines opened her eyes wide and looked at Carson.
In fact, Carson was about to meet Ines separately and tell her that the Swellden family had become fully devoted to Landhill. But besides that, he seemed to enjoy looking at her happy face right now.
“What’s going on?”
“Ah, it’s nothing…… I heard that Swellden’s Baron family is still in Lesonia?”
“Is… that so?”
“From now on, Swelden will be in charge of my work.”
“What did you just say?”
“I don’t think I spoke in a way that’s hard to understand, did I?”
“Your Highness, what exactly are you saying?”
“Just as I said. Swelden will become a servant of Landhill.”
“But Swelden has always been a spirit of Risonia.”
“Yes, I know. But that’s a story from 35 years ago.”
“35 years ago?”
Almost shouting, the count’s attitude was observed by Carson, who slowly let go of Andrew’s hand and approached Count Graham.
Despite having descended from the podium, he was still looking down at the count.
“Count Graham, what are you doing right now?”
“…”
“Daring to defy the imperial family in the Keynes Empire?”
“That’s not what I’m doing…”
“Calling me ‘Your Highness,’ yet daring to shout at me?”
“…”
“This empire has never once adopted territorialism throughout its history. And yet, you, a mere count, would dare to violate the law of the empire, even respected by the Emperor himself?”
At the mention of the word ‘Emperor,’ the count bent at the waist and bowed to him.
“I apologize, Your Highness. But this matter has been established as a special law.”
“Ah, that special law.”
