Chapter 157 (1/2)

“Ha! This is better than the one I had before!”

Thoroughly impressed by the sofa’s soft e his body wherever he desired, Isaac shouted to those in front of hiuys run away?”

Only Rivelia, Lanburton, and Cordnell attended theroom in person The rest of the adh a coh These individuals had been deployed into Wolfgang’s and Lichten’s territories to take over the ad a reason to attend the celebration of reunification, they had still attended the cereents, they wished to leave a good ihter of Isaac and most certainly a future duchess But the assassination attempt on Isaac, riots, and Kalden’s death quickly convinced them to escape the city post-haste

Cordnell, who couldn’t leave the city due to his responsibilities of securing and ly at the traitors But those on the other end paid it no heed, having been on the receiving end far too many times already

“Then report”

The administrative body spoke out first in response

-There are constant requests for updates on Lady Laila’s wellbeing fro’s constituents

“How much is known to them?”

-As of now, the rumours speak of an assassination attempt on Lord Isaac and that it had been stopped

The Administrative Body reported, and Isaac turned to Lanburton

“What about Rizzly?”

-The reattach in hospital, where he is prioritizing the purification of the rey from his body

“And the brat?”

-As for Lady Laila, the dey infected her fever-weakened body She will need a longer stay before recuperating fully

“I don’t care how much it takes, but make sure she’s fully recovered It’d be a problem if that brat dies now”

If Laila were to die now, Isaac was bound to attract suspicion about it all being an inside job If Anton truly wished to screw Isaac over, then killing Laila would have been a check children apparently didn’t seem to suit his taste

“You heard that? Tell them to buzz off, because she’s still alive”

One of thespoke carefully

-On a side note, a portion of the Wolfgang’s vassal fah it hasn’t been confirmed yet

“Mobilised? Where to?”

-Well, they see their path, we think they’re heading towards the elven reservations

Isaac snickered

“Are they ai for the set a hold of Lady Julia, they will claihtful succession”

“It doesn’t hter, not the s to hand her over anyway What else?”

-E and Lichten territories, respectively, clashed when it was revealed that remnants of the Lichten factions were responsible for the assassination attempt

“I have no time to waste on that I will allow brute force crackdowns Whenever there’s a clash, beat them down and lock them up I’m sure their heads will cool in a dark prison cell”

The administrative body wore a reluctant, troubled expression Isaac sipped his drink and spoke

“What’s the problem?”

Indecisive, the ad to formally answer Isaac Isaac’s eyes narrowed, and Rivelia stepped in noticing, their nervous, dodging glances

“Justa proper administration alone is difficult with the current state of the administrative body The noble families may have moved elsewhere, but that won’t quell the discontent of the o”

“So they’re antagonistic to outsiders?”

“I’ht as influential voices in the region”

“Dumbasses”

Isaac remarked It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand the, the adh connections

The higher-ups could screae into thin air Plus, it wasn’t just the scholars who ed administration that opposed the officers that commanded them as well The administrative body was in the sa of New Port City—stranded and without a limb to crawl out of this hole

Of course, the nore the orders of justly appointed istrates supported by the laws of fiefdom But there were plenty ways for the middle class to fuck them over if they tried

Isaac pulled out a smoke and pondered The ad for their orders

They had heard the whispers from their elven and North Bear friends The method Isaac used to rescue Laila and Rizzly and how he burned people alive The only thing that came to theirstand in his way

In ti as you were told was a safe bet for survival Rivelia, oblivious that the rumours have already spread, cocked her head when she realised that the administrative body fully quiet That hen Isaac spoke out

“We will create a provincial army”

“… A provincial ar Isaac’s declaration, while the administrative body stilled, bewildered by the decision The reasoning behind creating an ared to that of a dukedoreatest time to do so

“All arnized as part of my provincial army Therefore, the provincial army will also uphold public order”

-T, that will cause an uproar!
