Chapter 263: Conflicts of Position (2)

That was one of the main reasons why Duke White didn’t listen to Aurora’s words.

The Head Butler knew that but he was powerless to do anything. The head of the White Family is still Duke White. Even if they could make decision on small matters, they couldn’t do everything arbitrarily and had to ask for Duke White’s approval.

At this moment, it was too late.

"No, I can’t be like the Davis Family... I can stop the riots, right?" Duke White asked and raised his head.

"Master, we have no money and resources, how do you think we can stop the riots?" The Head Butler asked slowly.

Duke White: "..."

That was true.

At this moment, Duke White felt despairs. He knew very well that if he turned to the Yellow Kingdom’s King for help, he could save the people in his territory. But it would be a big dereliction of duty and Duke White would be removed from his position.

Duke White knew very well that it was impossible for him to survive if the Yellow Kingdom’s King were to pursue this matter.

"I’m going to go," Duke White finally said and then ran out of his room. He had to pack up and then prepare to leave the Yellow Kingdom.

Even though he couldn’t bear the thought of losing his wealth and territory, but at this moment, Duke White just wanted to live. There were still some antiques and so on in his hands that he could sell for money.

This should be enough for him to live by himself out there.

The Head Butler didn’t stop Duke White and he only stood there, his aged face looked much older.

"Old Master, your son is truly not qualified to be your successor," the Head Butler whispered in a low voice.

He felt that if the former Duke White was still here, he would have slapped his son to death for his incompetence. Nobles were at the high position for a reason and they have the duty to protect the people under them.

Yet, Duke White had no hesitation to leave without even thinking for a way to solve the problem in front of them.

For a moment, the Head Butler missed Aurora.

Even though Aurora seemed to be rather cold and casual when she was dealing with the territory’s affairs, she would not let them fend for themselves and would try to figure out a way to solve the problem in front of them.

Even if she was young, she was a thousand times better than Duke White.

The Head Butler sighed deeply.

He walked to the window and looked at the Royal Family’s carriage that had arrived in front of Duke White’s Residence. The Head Butler could guess that some lower ranked nobles who were within their territory should have reported this to the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

The Head Butler was not surprised.

Duke White’s dereliction of duty would make it a big crime. And Duke White would not be able to escape the sanction and punishment in the slightest bit.

Moreover, there were also many people who were already dissatisfied with Duke White.

Some of them have tried to move their hands and feet to Aurora back then. But with Aurora’s fierce retaliation, they didn’t dare to do anything and simply become the quiet chicken.

After Aurora had left and disappeared, these people have already started to make their moves once more.

Their target this time was Duke White.

And the stupid Duke White was still indulging in various things, forgetting the important things that he have to do. The works were all thrown to the Head Butler and he only showed the most important few to Duke White.

But even then, none of these problem were solved.

It was truly infuriating.

The Head Butler sighed and did nothing but watch as these knights rushed into the White’s Family Residence.

He was sure that this was the end for the White Family.

All the Head Butler hoped was for the two young children of the White Family to be safe and sound wherever they were.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Prang!

Duke White was stunned when he saw the knights rushing into his residence and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Unfortunately, the knights have no time to talk with Duke White as they apprehended him rudely and then brought him down. The servants, maids, and the others watched this spectacle with worry. Some knights wanted to take action but they stopped when they saw the Head Butler came and shook his head.

These knights could only lower their heads.

They might be the White Family’s knight’s, but they listened to the Head Butler’s words more than listening to Duke White’s words.

This was because they knew that this Head Butler was more reliable than Duke White.

"Let me go!"

The Head Butler sighed deeply when he watched Duke White being dragged by the knights. Even though he felt that Duke White was not worthy of this title, he knew very well that watching Duke White from the time when he was young until now, the Head Butler still has some feelings.

He felt distressed to see Duke White like this.

But as he saw the Yellow Kingdom’s King coming inside, the Head Butler knew that there was truly nothing that he could do but to stand aside and watch as everything unfolded.

This matter has been set in stone.

So no matter how much the Head Butler wanted to step forward and helped Duke White, he knew better than anyone that nothing could be changed.

"You... Your Highness?" Duke White was stunned when he saw the Yellow Kingdom’s King in front of him.

Seeing Duke White, the Yellow Kingdom’s King nodded with a faint smile. "It has been a while, Duke White."

"Are you the one who give the order, tell them to let me go! I..."

"Unfortunately, I can’t do that, Duke White." the Yellow Kingdom’s King shook his head and looked at Duke White in front of him. He didn’t expect that when he was so busy with the aftermath of the war between the Yellow Kingdom and Sand Kingdom, someone would come to him with an important piece of news.

And the person in the report was precisely Duke White.

After seeing what Duke White had done over the years and the fact that the White Family’s territory was now in severe deficit, the Yellow Kingdom’s King was enraged.

No matter what, he’s still the Yellow Kingdom’s King and also the ruler of this land. With Aurora’s negotiation and so on in the past, the Yellow Kingdom’s King thought that the White Family’s territory would thrive.

But look at what Duke White did!

He took the money that should have been used for the territory for himself and his wife. Looking at the spending list that was reported by his subordinate, the Yellow Kingdom’s King knew that Duke White has been spending a lot of money for various things in the past few years.

None of these were cheap.

But there were all luxury good that only the nobles could possibly enjoy.

Even then, these nobles never dared to buy them every single day like what Duke White did.

So the Yellow Kingdom’s King knew very well that it was not because Duke White was suddenly rich after the negotiation but because he took the money that should have belonged to his people!

What kind of noble is this?

The Yellow Kingdom’s King was angry and decided to come here in person.

Just when he thought that Duke White would be thinking for a countermeasure, this b*stard was trying to escape instead.

Looking at the Head Butler’s ashen face, the servants’ indifference, and the maids’ coldness, the Yellow Kingdom’s King could see that Duke White was truly not popular with the servants here. Even when he was treated so rudely, none of these servants dared to step forward.

They didn’t even feel any pity and only afraid that they would be implicated.

The Head Butler was the exception as he had watched Duke White for a long time ever since he was young. There was no way he didn’t have any feelings at all for the current Duke White even if this b*stard truly deserved to be beaten.

Moreover, the Yellow Kingdom’s King noticed that the furnitures and various decorations in Duke White’s Residence were all precious and expensive items.

It could be seen that Duke White spent most of his money to redecorate his mansion.

Thinking about this, the Yellow Kingdom’s King felt that he wanted to beat up this man even more.

"You should know what you have done, Duke White." the Yellow Kingdom’s King’s voice was icy cold. "I have received reports about what you have done in the past few years and I think that as a duke, you should know that the money generated by the territory is not only for your enjoyment but also to help the territory to get better."
