Chapter 264: Conflicts of Position (3)

The nobles would naturally get a cut of what they gathered from the people.

It was their reward for their hard work.

But they would only get a small portion while the rest would be used by the nobles to cultivate their lands and increase the livelihood of the people who were living in their territory.

This was the normal thing to do.

But this Duke White...

The Yellow Kingdom’s King sighed deeply and waved his hand.

Prime Minister Lat, who has been following the Yellow Kingdom’s King, looked at Duke White and felt that this duke was really not a good person at all. First his daughter made his son do stupid actions that caused him to be looked unfavorably by the second prince. Now, he himself was proven to be unqualified to be a duke.

If Aurora is still here, Prime Minister Lat was sure that the Yellow Kingdom’s King would appoint her as the next duke right away.

The mess from White Family’s territory was still there, waiting for them to help solving it.

"Duke White, you’re wrong for..."

Duke White’s expression was ashen when he heard Prime Minister Lat mentioned all of his wrongdoings in the past few years. He didn’t understand what the Yellow Kingdom’s King wanted. It was normal for nobles to do these things, right?

How many nobles were actually playing and having fun while their subordinates were the ones who did all the work?

"I didn’t do..."

Bang!

The knights slammed Duke White from the back, preventing him from finishing whatever he wanted to say.

Prime Minister Lat and the Yellow Kingdom’s King were watching this scene coldly. They felt that it was already kind enough of them not to throw Duke White out at the first chance it was possible.

"...that shall be all." Prime Minister Lat finally finished reading.

"I want to appeal!" Duke White roared in anger. He didn’t want to be punished without truly having a chance to fight back.

Even if he knew that he was indeed a bit derelict of his duty, he had to fight back.

"The evidence is already conclusive." the Yellow Kingdom’s King looked at Duke White coldly. "You’ll be stripped of your title and your territory will be taken back. There will be someone else appointed to do your work."

"Your Majesty!" Duke White shouted, clearly very unwilling.

However, the Yellow Kingdom’s King didn’t care and looked at the mansion. "Send someone to sell these things. The gold should be enough to fund the knights to pacify the people."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Lat sighed deeply in his heart. When he saw this residence, he had a guess where Duke White’s money all go to. This Duke White was truly a prodigal to spend so much money for these things that have no value aside from appearance.

Even if some nobles would occasionally buy one or two for their aesthetic, no one would be insane enough to buy the entire mansion’s worth of these things.

Unless they were extremely rich, the expenditure would be too costly.

They would feel heartache for spending so much money for these kind of things that they might not be able to sleep at night.

But Duke White seemed to feel that these were nothing.

Probably it was because he was not the one working hard to make money, so he felt these money came and went so easily.

"Is he going to be imprisoned?" Prime Minister Lat looked at Duke White on the ground, still being pressed by the knights.

"No." the Yellow Kingdom’s King shook his head. He didn’t want to see Duke White again or he would want to beat up this b*stard personally. "Send him out like the Davis Family."

The Davis Family lost everything and could only bring their basic necessities when they ran out of their territory. But at this moment, the knights of the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not allow Duke White to take anything from the residence.

It was essentially tossing him away without giving him any way out.

"I understand." Prime Minister Lat nodded and the knights also released Duke White.

*cough* *cough*

Duke White looked at the Yellow Kingdom’s King in front of him and his eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.

"Your Highness, can’t you give me any chance?" Duke White asked, his tone was clearly unwilling to let things end like this.

"Chance?" the Yellow Kingdom’s King repeated and looked at Duke White. He sneered. "Do you deserve it?"

When Duke White heard this, he felt that all reasons were lost and he understood that the Yellow Kingdom’s King didn’t even want him to live well. Looking at these knights who were watching him tightly, Duke White roared.

He turned around and pulled the sword of the knight nearest to him before rushing towards the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

Even if Duke White was not very capable, but he was also a noble.

As a noble, Duke White naturally received teaching in swordsmanship. He still knew how to wield the sword and so on.

The Yellow Kingdom’s King watched Duke White coldly.

Clang!

The other knight who was near the Yellow Kingdom’s King raised his sword and blocked Duke White’s attack.

Bang!

The knight kicked Duke White back and the other knights quickly subdued him.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"I’m fine." the Yellow Kingdom’s King looked at Duke White coldly. "It seems that you would like to stay in prison so much. Take him away."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You $%^&*(!" Duke White screamed as the knights lifted him up and then dragged him away.

The Head Butler and the other servants watched this farce and sighed deeply in their heart. They knew very well that there was no chance for Duke White to ever return after trying to kill the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

Even if there was some pains in the Head Butler’s heart, he turned to look at the mansion behind him and smiled bitterly.

This should be his last day being here.

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Lat also stepped forward to check the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

"You deal with him and this matter." the Yellow Kingdom’s King shook his head. "I’ll appoint the next person to be a duke who will also help you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Lat bowed and then left to execute this order.

On the other hand, the Yellow Kingdom’s King sighed deeply and rubbed his hand. He felt that Duke White was really outrageous and impulsive.

’Forget it. This family is already very messy and even my son is implicated.’ the Yellow Kingdom’s King shook his head when he thought about Prince Edward. Thankfully, the second prince is a good child and should be able to inherit him in the future.

To be honest, the Yellow Kingdom’s King himself didn’t expect that Duke White would try to kill him.

But then again, Duke White had lost everything.

He might have bet that with his death, his ending would be different.

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself too much and underestimated the Yellow Kingdom’s King.

There was no way the Yellow Kingdom’s King would come out without capable knights protecting him.

Walking out of White Family’s mansion, the Yellow Kingdom’s King thought about who he should appoint as the next duke. He needed three dukes to keep balance of power, so he should appoint a new one soon.

As the Yellow Kingdom’s King was thinking, he recalled the letter sent to him not long ago.

’Even I might have been used as chess piece by someone else’s game.’ the Yellow Kingdom’s King smiled bitterly.

The chaos in the Yellow Kingdom, how could the Yellow Kingdom’s King not realize that someone was pulling the string on the back.

But even if he knew that, there was nothing that he could do but to face it and try his best to clean up the troubles that were left behind.

Honestly, the Yellow Kingdom’s King felt really angry when he first thought about it.

But now...

He just sighed.

If he was not capable and strong enough, he should just pretend that he knew nothing. In case that person decided to target him and made him face his demise...

But with Duke White, the problems in the Yellow Kingdom should be over.

When the Yellow Kingdom’s King thought about this, he felt relieved.

...

The Red Kingdom

Aurora looked at the letter sent to her from the Yellow Kingdom with an indifferent expressions.

Her father, Duke White, had actually dug his own grave from many years ago. It was only because Aurora was there that she helped him to clean up the mess to a certain degree. After all, at that time, she still wanted to stay in White Family’s territory.

If the dukedom fell, then there was nothing that Aurora could do but leaving and it would be troublesome at that time.

Now, it should be fine.

The new duke that the Yellow Kingdom’s King appointed should be able to clean up the mess as long as he had enough funds and have enough brain capacity.
