"In addition, we also found the daughter of the deceased Viscount Wenlani."
"The daughter of Viscount Wenlani?" I couldn't remember this person. Wasn't that Viscount a lustful playboy? How could he have a daughter?
"Bring her here."
"yes."
After that, two dismounted cavalrymen brought in a noble girl wearing a dark blue dress. She had long black hair and a well-developed figure, and looked like a rare beauty.
"Oh, it seems that Viscount Wenlani has a good bloodline, or perhaps this is the usual style of his family, hehe."
Looking at this good-looking noble girl, the cavalry captain hesitated and had the urge to take her for himself.
If it were in the past, he would not dare to offend a viscount's daughter, but now, with the smoke of war raging in the southern border and the situation in chaos, no one would pay attention to this matter.
As for the people around him, it is easy to silence them. Just pull them along. I think these guys will not refuse this delicious meat at their fingertips.
Thinking of this, the cavalryman smiled again, and this operation was not in vain.
However, a shrill cry like a drake shattered the cavalry captain's fantasy.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir, for finding our eldest daughter." A man dressed as a butler strode over from the side of the street, waving a handkerchief in his hand as he walked.
His cheeks covered with white powder and his pretentious movements all revealed his identity. As he appeared, a few of Atom Lord's men who had escaped also gathered around him.
Now that the Viscount is dead, they have lost their backbone, but these people dare not flee to the mountains like the rebels. They can only hide in the corner and wait for news. Now they have finally found their own kind.
"Who are you?" Looking at the butler who was interrupting the good things, the cavalry captain frowned deeply, wondering why his men didn't kill these parasites at night.
In the eyes of these new troops, these old-fashioned and conservative nobles were no better than blood-sucking bugs clinging to the empire's thigh.
"Sir, I am the steward of Viscount Wenlani. Look, this is my ID." He took out a wrinkled letter of appointment from the lining of his clothes. It was stamped with Viscount Wenlani's seal and his signature.
[....I hereby entrust Mr. Bullworth as my butler.
—Kurd Kite Wenlani]
There was no need to read the long paragraph of nonsense in the beginning; the following line clearly stated his identity. After finishing speaking, the butler took out the badge from his collar, quickly pinned it on himself, and shouted a greeting.
"My lord, thank you for leading the troops to save the Wenlani family. I think the young lady will never forget such a kindness in her life." He spoke loudly and flatteringly, attracting the Atom Lord's men who were hiding in the street.
Seeing that the fighting was gradually stopping, these people came out in groups of three or four.
Looking at these miscellaneous soldiers in uniform smocks and armor, the cavalry captain felt a little disgusted and loudly stopped the steward.
"Shut up, you noisy guy."
"Yes, yes, sir, I will shut up now." As he said this, the butler quickly walked to the side of the noble girl and stood behind her, as if he was her guardian.
Faced with all this, the noble girl lowered her head and said nothing, as if waiting for arrangements.
"Hmph." Looking at the scene before him, the cavalry captain who had originally planned to kidnap the noble girl couldn't help but give up the idea.
It would be fine if few people knew about this kind of thing, but now that it's so public, it's not easy for him to do it openly, so he still has some concerns.
"Now that the rebellion has been suppressed, we need to rest for another day. I'll trouble the housekeeper to take care of our daily life and meals during this time."
He glanced at the butler, and although his meaning was obscure, the other party understood it perfectly.
"I understand. The Wenlani family will take good care of all the officers." These people probably want gold coins and treasures, but spending money is better than disaster relief. Anyway, the master is gone, and the eldest lady is easy to control. I still have the final say in everything, hehe.
The steward agreed readily, then turned around and kicked those iron-lump knights.
"Quick, arrange accommodation for the officers and prepare food."
"Also, you, you, and a few of you come with me." He pointed out a few knights and guards he was familiar with.
With these people, the butler dived into the ruins of the castle. There should be a lot of good things hidden there. Those barbaric guys definitely don’t know where the master hid the treasures, haha.
In the city in the early morning, everything became busy again, with a little blue smoke rising. Some guards began to drag corpses and clean up the ruins, and the cavalry who were rushing over also dismounted and began to rest.
On a distant hillside outside the city, a fully armored knight stood quietly, watching everything happening in the distance.
After a while, a weak and hoarse voice sounded behind him.
"It was you who saved me." Even though this barbarian almost died at night, his words sounded rough, making it difficult for people to feel comfortable.
