Chapter 1304 226. Joan's Determination

Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier!

Annan's hesitation about whether to support the free people in overthrowing the rule of General Raymond disappeared.

What he saw before him strengthened his determination, and even made him lose his last hope for the luxurious Golden Palace.

It's just a building built on suffering.

"Almost all those who were once enemies of the Broken Mountains are here." Commander Raymond glanced at the stretched human skins with nostalgia: "Peterson, my former enemy. Lothar, the bishop who blasphemed the lady. Mosley, the executioner who threatened the safety of the Broken Mountains, and..."

His eyes fell on a piece of light-colored human skin that was not very large and had many scars on its surface. "The leader who started the riot."

"Adele..."

"what?"

"Her name is Adele."

Lord Raymond stared at Annan, then at Joan: "How is it, Princess?"

“Disgusting…”

Lord Raymond, who had just been stunned by Annan, was stunned again.

Annan's gaze gave Joan courage. "I said it's disgusting! The Empire built a tower with the heads of its enemies as a warning and demonstration, but you put them in your collection room just to satisfy your own... your own dark hobbies!"

Lord Raymond's good mood was gone.

"Don't the imperial nobles also like to store the skulls and skins of their enemies in their collection rooms?"

"They're just as disgusting!"

As she was speaking, Joan saw a familiar pink skin on the human skin display stand.

"That's the skin sent by my nephew. It has a beautiful pink color," Lord Raymond said demonstratively.

Joan suddenly covered her mouth, lowered her head and rushed out.

"excuse me."

Annan followed him out of the collection room, which made him feel heavy-hearted, and found Joan retching in the corridor.

Waving to the bewildered maid standing by, Annan walked over and asked him softly, "What's wrong?"

The beautiful pink-skinned maid and the cold human skin appeared in Joan's mind at the same time, blending together and impacting her sanity.

"The girl who helped me was made into skin... Ugh—"

Annan patted Joan on the back, but she hadn't eaten anything that morning, so she didn't vomit anything.

"Why are these people so disgusting?" Joan looked up in confusion, tears in her eyes, not knowing whether she was crying or irritated by vomiting.

Annan handed her a handkerchief and said, "Some people are not considered human beings, and some people are not worthy of being human beings."

Joan took it and wiped the corners of her eyes, then put it in front of her nose and stopped suddenly.

"Blow it." said Annan.

Joan blew her nose and was too embarrassed to give it back to Annan. With a red nose, she said to him firmly: "Annan... I want to go to Coal Hill and fight against this unfair rule with the people here!"

"it is good."

Annan is pleased with Joan's growth.

He used to think that Joan was just a "small person" and that a stable living environment was enough. Unexpectedly, she was the same type of person as Little Small - they both needed a clear goal to push themselves. When they lost their goals, they felt that their lives had lost their meaning. And when they had goals, they would burst out with amazing motivation.

After all, Joan has dared to go out and do business on her own since she was thirteen years old, which many adult men do not have the courage to do.

As for the issue of safety... Joan is a warrior after all, and she has Elimois to protect her.

Annan called the maid who was not far away: "Tell Lord Raymond that Princess Joan is not feeling well. I am sending her back first."

"Okay, my lord."

The maid stood outside the door and lowered her head to tell Lord Raymond, who was admiring the spoils, that Annan and the princess had left.

"How rude..." Lord Raymond's face was gloomy. He felt a strong sense of arrogance from them.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

A young voice sounded, and Elvis Raymond rushed to the door.

The maid lowered her head and walked away quickly. Before she had gone far, she heard the lord's roar from behind her.

"Elvis, you idiot!"

Elvis Raymond was stunned: "Father, I don't understand..."

The whole corridor was echoing with Lord Raymond's gruff roar: "You are already the future heir of Broken Mountains, yet you are foolish enough to target someone who poses no threat to you!"

"Father, I'm worried."

Elvis Raymond lowered his head and revealed his true feelings: "After meeting Annan Reeves, Killian seemed to have become a different person. He is no longer submissive, he dares to look me in the face, and even dares to disobey and question your authority——"

"What are you afraid of?"

Lord Raymond interrupted him and snorted, "Are you afraid that I will ignore the order of the family, ignore the pressure from your mother, betray the nobles who stand on your side, and hand over the heir to a bastard?"

Elvis Raymond was speechless.

Commander Raymond looked at his second son who looked almost identical to himself when he was young. "My indulgence towards you will not last forever, Elvis. A person without confidence is not worthy of being the leader of all people."

"You already know that the coal mountain of the Philen Trading Company was occupied by the mob?"

"Got it, father," Elvis Raymond said hurriedly.

Lord Raymond said with great interest: "Since Annan Reeves wants to fight back, let's play with him. You take people to block the open-air coal mountain and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving."

"This is your last chance. If you disappoint me again, you will be like Killian and only deserve a small territory to fend for yourself."

"Yes, father..."

……

As soon as Annan and Joan returned to their residence, the guards brought them an invitation.

Signed as Mrs. Fellen, she invited Annan to be her guest.

Annan threw the invitation into the trash can, and Joan asked him, "Aren't you going?"

"Forget it. I just took over their territory. Why am I going to her house to keep the appointment?" Annan walked to the door. "I'll take you there."

The door opened a crack, and the conversation of two passing maids came in.

"By the way, have you heard? A few imperial men came to the Golden City and said they were looking for the princess."

Annan turned around and picked up the invitation from the trash can.

"I'd better go there. Maybe I can find out something."

……

Elvis Raymond returned to the family. The captain of the guard went to gather the guards, while he went to his mother's bedroom and told her what had happened while she was sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Your father was right,"

The beautiful woman looked at her only son through the mirror and said, "If you don't even have this much confidence, how can I believe that you will be able to rule the Broken Mountains in the future instead of being taken away by some bastard from nowhere?"

With no encouragement from his mother, Elvis Raymond asked in confusion, "What should I do, Mother?"

"Like your father."

The woman raised her slender white neck and asked the maid to put the jewelry on her.

"Where are you going?" Elvis Raymond noticed that his mother was about to go out.

"Mrs. Fearon invited me over and said she wanted to give me a surprise."
