Chapter 1034 265. That Thing

The chairman of the parliament is actually talking about that...

Renato heaved a sigh of relief. This made sense, the Speaker's goodwill towards Annan.

Come to think of it, Annan is indeed the best person to investigate that case...

"Who do they think I am!? They didn't even try to find an elf, dwarf, or even an orc, and just sent a man here. Are they trying to humiliate me!?"

"Calm down... maybe they... they... they really don't know how to live or die!"

His noise could be heard before Annan came in.

Walking into the hall, Annan saw Renato looking at him, but he didn't forget about the business: "You thought of it?"

"Ah."

Seeing this, the confidants left the hall. After Annan sat down, Renato said, "I thought that incident would disappear with the migration, but I didn't expect the chairman of the parliament still remembered it..."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you remember Princess Sayles?"

"Didn't I rescue her from the old capital?"

"Princess Sayles was rescued by you, but when the capital was relocated, she was deliberately thrown into a dungeon... Although the king doesn't care about his sister, the officials cannot and dare not leave the royal bloodline to the rat people."

Annan thought that when he found Princess Sale's, she was obviously tortured by the rat men and a lot of blood had been drawn from her... The rat men must have used Princess Sale's to do something.

"You mean the chairman wants me to go to the old capital to investigate?"

"No, the people from back then are all in the new capital."

Annan still didn't understand: "If that's all, there's no reason for him to be so serious."

"Because it involves the royal family."

Behind this matter lies the factional struggle within the kingdom.

On the surface, Clo is the first heir to the kingdom, but if he really was, he would not have suddenly attacked Asimov, the director of the Great Library, and slandered the second prince for treason.

The real heir to the kingdom is someone else, the second prince Vitalig - who also happens to be related to Annan.

Whether in politics, handling government affairs, or relationships with nobles, Vitalig was better than Clo. After the death of the previous king, Clo's succession was already a mess, and the subsequent "Vitalig assassination of Clo" incident made it difficult for the faction behind him to react.

When they wanted to do something, it was already too late.

Vitalig had been transformed into a small box and sent to Star-Moon Bay.

Princess Cels was just a standard princess of the kingdom who stayed away from disputes. She had a good relationship with Vitalig and many other princes and ministers. Although she was arrested and thrown into the dungeon by Cloe's order, she would be released after being proven innocent... As a result, the capital was relocated and she was deliberately forgotten in the dungeon.

Clo didn't care. It seemed that there was nothing that could make the king care, except Annan.

The chairman of the council couldn't help but care. Princess Saiers had royal blood flowing in her veins. It wasn't the meager blood of a side branch, but the real blood of the Montreal family, and it could even be related to the Golden Family of Middle-earth. If the ratmen got this blood, they could do a lot... Who threw her into the dungeon?
Deliberate or intentional?
No wonder the Speaker asked Or to investigate many times. He was impressed by Annan's courage.

But the Councillor wants to take the initiative to solve the mystery... Could it be that he has nothing to do with the Rat Man?
"This is a big problem. Ratmen are not like nobles who are bound by rules..."

"I agreed."

"They really dare to do anything...what?"

Annan sighed, "The Councillor is really smart. I don't know if he stumbled upon it by mistake or knows something. Even if he doesn't tell me, I will investigate the truth for Princess Saiers." Renato wanted to persuade him again, but Annan said, "We are already here."

However, the Speaker has not yet handed the investigation over to him, so Annan can continue to do his own thing: raid Baron Reiner's house.

When Annan and the people of the Purification Court surrounded the castle, Baron Reiner was still complacent and had sent people to the official residence before others. As a result, the servants ran away crying, saying that a group of soldiers had broken in.

Baron Reiner somehow suffered a devastating disaster and cried out to see Master Olme, and was brought to Annan by his men.

"Master Olme, is it that... you don't like the gift?"

Annan said coldly: "Which foot did you step with when you came out just now?"

"Uh...left foot."

"Control everyone in the castle, not even a mouse can escape!"

Annan's strong men rushed forward and carried away the valuables in the castle.

Baron Reiner was being watched by his men. He had no courage to resist and could only cry and slap his thighs: "You are simply a bunch of robbers! I want to go to the palace and find His Majesty the King!"

"Even if the chairman of the parliament was here, he couldn't save you." Annan said expressionlessly.

But what Annan had not expected was that they found a lot of property, but no private dungeons were set up, and no civilians were oppressed. The most serious thing they found was that the housekeeper secretly replaced the feed in the stable with inferior grass... and this was an internal private matter.

The only thing that could have violated the kingdom's laws was that they owned a casino, which was why Sheriff Milburn had singled them out, but Renato also had a stake in this casino...

As for wealth, it was all earned by Baron Reiner through legitimate means and business acumen.

Annan couldn't imagine it, but there really were clean nobles.

Annan looked at Baron Reiner with amazement, and Baron Reiner, who looked aggrieved like a fat beaver, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Olme, look at me--"

"Shut him up." Annan waved his hand expressionlessly and asked his men to return the property they had moved away.

"You are clean even without the Free Blade. Very good. You are worthy of being loyal subjects of the kingdom."

Annan left with his men, leaving Baron Reiner and his stunned family behind.

"Go and see what's missing... No, what's extra!"

Baron Reiner screamed and mobilized everyone to search.

There was nothing extra that shouldn’t be there, and the key point was… the stolen property was returned intact.

Baron Reiner scratched his head in confusion: "Is Master Olme satisfied or not... Is he warning me that the gift is too rough?"

Since he was already here, Annan didn't want to return empty-handed, so he picked out a noble on the list and broke in to arrest him.

The next day, the nobles on the list learned the sad news, but there was also another piece of news that puzzled them: why was Baron Reiner able to survive?

Baron Reiner announced that this was "official certification from Master Olmes."

"Tsk... I always feel that this is not a good word."

In any case, there are not many nobles with clean butts, and even fewer nobles with clean butts in the kingdom. Baron Reiner is qualified to become a Free Blade - a real Free Blade.

Annan asked Renato to find a minor official to test Baron Reiner.
