Chapter 141 – Warm words of Hope (3)
The other male lover lowered his voice and added: “He might be a viscount, but surely their family’s influence has limited reach over the south. I had sent men out to investigate his family name and he comes from Baltha, the furthest northern region in the kingdom.”
“Are you stupid?” Graudin said. Even though he was in a rage his mind was unaffected by it. “Who do you think we can send after him? That skeleton said that bastard is at least a Gold-ranked swordsman, and the red-haired woman by her side most likely has the same strength as well. Do you think my troubles are still not enough?”
“I apologize, my lord. I had failed to consider his strength.”
“Then perhaps we can close the city gates and force them to stay here while we send word to the assassins in the capital?” His other lover said.
Graudin took in a deep breath before he kicked him: “Halfwit! Should I send you out to close the gates? Perhaps he would cut you down as well!”
The latter screamed in pain and shook his head.
“Perhaps we can try to get the Skeleton Lord and his undead army to attack him? Are they not our allies?” The other lover who was still standing said.
Everyone looked at him with furrowed brows. Brendel was looking so serious they thought that there was something to his words, but they realized he was mocking the man in front of him after a moment.
“In the story that unhappy person takes off the idiot’s head.” Brendel said. His hand suddenly reached for his sword and a flash of light suddenly appeared and disappeared. “Like so.”
“You fucking—” The Jackal wanted to order his men to attack but he suddenly froze.
He had a shocked expression on his face before his head slid off his body and fell down from the horse.
