From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 71: Sometimes I really lose faith in love in this era

When Prince Raymond returned home, his attendants told the Prince that he had changed the color of his hat. So the angry prince slit the throat of the mouthy attendant and imprisoned Duchess Anna for interrogation.

After forcing the Duchess to tell the truth by torture, he ordered the soldiers of the Duchy to arrest the poet who seduced his wife, intending to inflict heart-wrenching punishment on her, and then fried the poet’s heart in oil and forced Anna to eat it under the watchful eye of the entire court.

But Prince Raymond did not succeed, because the poet had already left the principality early, but the duke himself was so angry that he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed for half a year. When Prince Raymond recovered, he could barely keep walking. But he continued to seduce Towcent’s women, eventually suffering another stroke a few years later and dying at the hands of a mistress. Due to his poor reign during his lifetime, the death of Prince Raymond did not cause great sadness in the territory of the principality.

Lan didn’t expect that now Raymond was still alive, after all, the Duchess was already a free and beautiful widow when she appeared in novels and games.

By the way: the identity of the bard who seduced the Duchess is also extraordinary, it is the best friend of the wolf faction demon hunter ‘White Wolf’ Geralt – Dan Drien!

Of course, Lan did not intend to tell these “secrets” to others, and he still needed to have a good relationship with Duchess Anna.

After condolences to the other party’s dying husband out of courtesy, Lan continued: “Thank you also for allowing us to enter the country despite the prejudice of war, your tolerance makes me admire. ”

Chivalry culture prevailed in Towcent, which made the Duchess quite fond of knights who came out of poetry like Rann, and she was also curious about Geralt on the side. She had obviously heard the story of the “white wolf” as well.

The Duchess laughed when she heard Rann’s words: “Count Lannister flattered me too much, and underestimated Towcent’s strength. We are not as good and value the sword as Sintra, how can the war of so long ago interfere with us now? ”

Previous wars?

Lann was stunned after hearing the Duchess’s words, and suddenly had a not very polite conjecture in his heart.

“Your Highness Anna? Lane tentatively said, “But the war is still going on?” ”

“Count Lannister, what are these words? The war has long been over! The Duchess raised her nose: “I mentioned this in a letter to my cousin Enhill Va Enris. In the letter, I firmly urged him to stop the senseless killing. He also promised me peace. ”

Rann was even more sure of the conjecture in his heart, and he retorted softly: “But just yesterday, our soldiers were still meeting Nifgaard’s soldiers. The war took up all our energy, and Sintra couldn’t spare even a single craftsman to help build my territory. ”

This answer was obviously unexpected by the Duchess, she was stunned, and then her chin was raised higher, and her voice became harsh:

“How is this possible? The war continues? Why didn’t anyone tell me? Minister Trumble? ”

“Your Highness, I…” a nobleman wearing a gold chain knelt on the ground, “I just don’t want you to worry… Disturbing you… Your Highness…”

“Guard! The Duchess yelled, “Take him to the tower!” You’ve lost my favor, Mr. Trumble! Governor of the Palace! Clerk! ”

“At your disposal, enlightened lady…”

“Let our Foreign Secretary write immediately to my cousin Emperor Nifgaard. We demand that he immediately – I mean, immediately – sign a peace treaty and stop the war! Because wars and conflicts are evil! Conflict only weakens national strength and destroys harmony! ”

“Your Highness, you are so wise. The court chief replied.

“Gentlemen, what are you doing here? I have issued the order. Hurry up! ”

Lane looked around. The nobles and officials remained expressionless, as if similar things had long been common in the court.

Toussaint – Kingdom in fairy tales. No wonder it became a fairytale kingdom.

Duchess Anna took the handkerchief, touched the tip of her nose, and smiled at Rann.

“As you can see, Count Lannister, the war will soon be over. She said, “My cousin is actually very understanding, and I apologize to Sintra for his willfulness.” Toussaint would sell Sintra a batch of wine at a discount as an apology. I will also give the Sintra royal family a bucket of ‘East of the East’ in the name of a private person, hoping that unpleasant things will not damage our friendship. ”

East wine, the jewel of Toussaint, the reverence of the Toussaints is almost sacred. Bowland Palace has its own East Cave. To this day, a ceremony is held every year to store two barrels of vintage wine on this shelf. According to the Principality’s decree “Holy East Wine Order”, if you open these barrels yourself, you will be sentenced to death.

The corner of Lan’s mouth twitched, and he said in an almost coaxing tone: “Yes, Your Highness.” Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. ”

Duchess Anna smiled reservedly, turned to Geralt, and said, “Is this your entourage?” He is…… Demon hunters? ”

Lan shook his head: “Not really, he is my comrade-in-arms and best friend, and this time he was invited by me to help.” ”

Geralt glanced at Rann and saluted Anna, “I’m Geralt of Livia, and as you can see – I’m a demon hunter.” ”

“It’s so good that it’s you, Mr. Geralt, Dan… I have heard many glorious deeds of you! Duchess Anna exclaimed happily, “I have one thing I want to ask you. ”

“I want to hear about it, Her Royal Highness. ”

This was a common plea of many chaste women in Toussaint. Nightmares are haunting their homes. Some monster, some demon in female form, some shameless succubus, is killing their loyal and chaste spouse.

She would enter their bedroom at night and commit all kinds of depraved, abhorrent, and shameful depravity. You are an expert in this area, and you must know the specifics. ”

Jellot nodded, “Yes, Her Royal Highness the Duchess.” ”

“This matter has been troubling the ladies of Towcent for a long time, and I beg you to put an end to this obscenity. I assure you that we would be immensely grateful. ”

Geralt looked embarrassed: “Thank you for your trust, Her Royal Highness.” But I have a commission, and now I don’t have a skill. Please wait until I’m done with the matter at hand, then I’ll be happy to bring you Towcent… Uh, tranquility. ”

Duchess Anna showed a satisfied smile, and several people exchanged a few more pleasantries. Before the separation, the Duchess cordially invited Rann to today’s dinner, and Rann gladly agreed.

On the way back to the residence, the expressions of Rann, Geralt, and the three attendants were quite strange, but with the presence of soldiers and royal butlers who were guiding them, it was not convenient for them to say anything.

Several people soon arrived at the residence arranged for them by the royal family.

“If you have any more orders, I’ll be downstairs from you.” I will serve you in the rest of your days in Bowland. ”

The royal butler bowed to Rann and closed the door.

The three attendants in the room finally relaxed, and after saying goodbye, they began to take deep breaths as if they had just dived ashore, looking at each other, their faces full of absurdity.
