She transmigrated and started different life
Chapter 36 - 36. Truth is a relief for one but the doom for other
He looked up and saw again that strange glint in Kendra's eyes. It seems this child has some weird ideas again. But this time against himself. This child is truly weird. Same like his fiance Xara. Maybe that is the reason he likes this child?
Kendra saw his face changing and looking in confusion. Awwww. She really needs to find a way to pinch him. Wait. Why does she want to pinch him? Is she really turning back in time and becoming childish? Well whatever, she has a child's body. And plans to have fun in this lifetime. Being a bit childish will not be a bad idea.
She walked after the secretary towards the kitchen. Let's eat something and then we shall see what will happen.
It's strange, she didn't feel fear or disgust by all the things that happened. In past life, she never had any touch with death or killings.
Why is she feeling like it's fine? She sighed. The secretary looked at her sighing with a smile, this child is truly interesting. It changes face while thinking. You can almost tell what she is thinking off.
"Is there a problem that I might be able to solve?" the child's problem he might be easy to solve.
"It's not something you can help me with. I'm worried about my own brain," she said while thinking hard. She then turned her head to him. "I am just a child. How comes that I don't care about the death of a human. Is my brain sick?"
He looked at her and saw that she was truly bothered with that. He nodded. "If you were in the war and saw many killings it would be no problem, but looking at my information's, you are just common child. Not being afraid or disgusted is not normal. But looking at you, it seems you are not normal child like others."
She shook. Is it because she transmigrated? Did her essence and soul change in the process? She thought about it and threw away that taught. If she was a bad person many things would be different. Maybe because in her past life she saw people, especially children suffering from devious demons in human skin.
At that time she wished she was more powerful to help them. That is one of the reasons she worked hard in past life. She couldn't stop the doings but she used her own wealth to protect and heal as many as she could.
But, seeing in this life similar actions and demons, she felt them being punished like that is nothing. She nodded her head. She is not sick, they are. She gave up the taught about punishing them herself. There are enough people that will do that job, she just will enjoy her life as it is. But if anyone tries to harm her family, humph. She will punish.
The secretary saw that she taught it through."So to what conclusion did you come to?" he was curious.
"I am not sick or abnormal. The people doing bad things are. They were punished is the normal ending. I just accepted it. That's all" she said indifferently.
He nodded. If you do a bad thing you will be punished. Even a child knows it, why do people forget such simple thing.
She shrugged it off and at that moment they entered a humongous kitchen. Are they planning to feed all the people in town?
"Uh, if I may ask, is this food for us or is there somewhere hunger break out?" she was seriously astonished by the pure amount of food.
"Our soldiers and the Lord eat together. So we prepare food for everyone in the castle."
"Do you make food for each of them and they have to eat it or do you prepare different kinds of food to choose from?" she asked in awe.
"No. We all eat the same. No choosing. The treasury is almost empty. We eat what we have. " he looked at the food. It seemed a lot but it was quite simple. Bread, vegetables, a bit of meat.
Kendra got a headache. They eat only this. Even if it seems a lot but the food she eats herself is much better. No wonder he came to eat at her place.
"I don't mean to offend you..." she started talking to the cook" but why is here no fish? Such a huge sea in front of your doors..."
He looked at her and sighed. "The sea is there but we can't fish it, as lots of the people died through the years of war. We don't have enough people to want to be fishermen. And those that do it are selling fish, way too expensive to buy in such large amount we need."
Kendra nodded. Then she turned around and looked at the secretary with deep taught. "Did the fishes survive so far with the feeds I gave you?"
"Yes, but we still need at least a year to start eating them. Even then the amount we need is huge. Maybe in a couple of years when the fishes grow."
"Well, I'm not asking because of that. Do the fishes like the feed you give them?"
He taught about it and came to the realization. That child really hinted about feed before as well to the Lord, but they didn't take it so seriously. Its just feed. But now. If they can use it...
She saw his expecting gaze. Seriously, do I have to draw it for you? But she just sighed.
"Make nets. Take 20-30 people with you to a far abandoned beach. None should see what you are about to do. After all the feed is secret. Take the feed, throw it into the water and just catch fishes with the nets. Best in the early morning. " She said while gobbling vegetable porridge. It's really tasty.
Secretary made orders to prepare the nets. Next morning he will set out and try. If it works at least they would have enough food for all soldiers. And some of those soldiers are quite bored lately. They could use some stretching.
"Let's go and see what is going on in the big hall. I'm curious," she said while walking fast the same way they came.
When they entered she saw the Lord looking through some books. The nobles were the same. Some were sitting and some standing.
It seems that he gave them permission to talk but lightly.
She came in and slowly walked to the podium where the Lord was working. He felt someone came and looked up.
"Oh, Kendra. Done?" he asked while his brain seems to be in the accounts in front of him.
"Yes. Thank you. Did you get all the books from them?" she asked while looking at the mountain of the accounts on the table. "Do you plan to finish this alone?"
"Yes. I don't know who can help me," he said while absentmindedly continued looking through them.
Kendra rolled her eyes."Are you trying to die so young? What are you paying all those officers in your offices for? "
He didn't even hear what she said. She shook her head and saw the secretary. "He needs help. All the officers that are from this town and have families here should report to help him. Now!" she ordered while looking at him with cold eyes.
"I tried telling him that it's hard to do it himself, but he didn't want to hear." he felt wrong. The Lord is quite a stubborn man.
She sighed. "Just do it."
Not long after that dozen officer came and one of them was Luar. He smiled at Kendra, but others looked at the nobles in confusion.
She clapped hands and everyone, including the Lord, looked at her."All officers here. How many came? "She counted 15 people.
" Perfect. Five groups. Each group has three people. Each group chooses one who is fast with numbers. The other two will check for mistakes. After passing through your hands give to the Lord so he can do the last check."
She pointed at the table."Start now. Do one noble at the time. After checking and comparing give it to me. I am quite good as well with numbers myself." She took the books that the Lord already finished and started checking.
In her past life, she was good with numbers. So her checking and he books were done in just matter of few breaths. Everyone was stunned. But they shook head its impossible to check it so fast.
She smiled coldly. "Here, here, there and this whole thing is wrong." She pointed at the mistakes.
He looked at the books and got a headache. It's impossible to do it alone. "I understand. Let's do it your way."
The officers took the books and accounts and started calculating and comparing. She looked closer it was Sir Tally's accounts.
They finished it quite fast. The Lord checked it and then she did it. It seems that he was clean so far. She nodded at him and he sighed in relief.
They checked all the books from the nobles that gave their books. Few of the books had some things that happened to do their parents time but they choose to give up on those and gave it to the city. But he denied it. Nothing big enough to become a problem.
The nobles that were standing and gave their accounts as well had few things as well but they gave the names of people that gave them and when. So the Lord didn't as well make any trouble to them They were given the chairs as well and they sighed with relief as well.
After they were done the officers started looking through the lists from the nobles that didn't present the accounts. And they started getting paler and paler.
The Lord saw their expression and started getting angry again. When the nobles saw his expression and started stirring. They knew if they didn't say anything they will be doomed.
One after another started pointing at each other and accusing here and there. It was loud, ugly and quite fun for the Lord and Kendra. Even the nobles that were sitting were interested in the stories that were flying in the great hall.
''Wow. These people really were bored last 40-50 years. I think you should give them something to do so they can stop being bored.'' said Kendra while looking at pair of nobles that started fighting.''Left, be careful...yeah...hit him harder.'' she started to cheer for one of them that she supported the other. Putting oil on fire and flaring the fire. So interesting.
The Lord is after all quite childish himself. So he did the same with others. In the same time, he let the officers write down all the stuff they sprouted against each other.
That situation lasted for a while and nobles on chair stared getting silent and cold. The things they heard in this hall made him think about the City Lord. Hearing the things he wanted to hear he stopped cheering and turned icy cold.
He went back to his chair and nodded at the secretary. He looked first at Kendra and came to the child. He looked at her, put his hands on her ears and yelled.''Silence!!!'' Then he let go.
When she turned around was a mess. People were lying on the floor half dizzy. It seems this man has some kind of echo power. Dual powers are fine as well? So it's not strange.
He felt her scorching gaze and stepped back. ''WHAT??? I didn't do anything bad...''he tried to explain, but got back a big hug. He looked at the Lord in fear. When this child acts cute it means that person is quite done for. But he was really innocent...
''You ...are...dual?'' she looked at him with respect and awe. At that moment she looked like a small bunny asking for some treats...
He shook his head, no no noooo he should be not pulled in by this child's cuteness. She probably has some evil plan again.
At that moment Kendra saw him shaking his head and taught he just used something to make them get dizzy, or pass out. Oh well. Later she will ask, but now she is curious about how the City Lord will handle these people.
She sat down at the podium again and waved her feet as she curiously looked back and forth between the Lord and the nobles. Even the sitting nobles looked silently at the situation. The things they just heard...It was hard to understand. They lived with these people, but never knew that such dirty stuff was happening not far from their homes.
''So many of my people died from your hands. Is that the gratitude that your people know. You all forgot that my family standing is higher and nobler than yours. I call you nobles all the time as that was a request from my grandfather. But I guess you people really have no fear.'' He looked at sir Tally.''You all are excepted from what I am going to do and say. If you think differently you may say it. No punishment will be given to any of my proper citizens."
They nodded in agreement and waited for the storm that they saw in his eyes.
''From today on all the ''nobles'' that were included in all the machinations and treason of the country and the King will be taken their nobility titles. Their families will be sent back to the north as it is quiet now and will take with them only how much they brought to this town. Not a seed more. Those that argue against it will be sent to the King, with their families if they want to take them with. I don't care.''
He sat down feeling suddenly tired. ''Sir Tally stand up and take the order from me,'' he said with deep grief in his voice.
Sir Tally stood up and bowed politely.''Yes, your Lordship. How may I help.''
''Take all the nobles to look at the reports and accounts we found. You all will be my witnesses about their evil deed. Are you willing? Of course, I won't make it hard to any of you.''he looked at them with sadness.''If you are willing I will be glad, but if not I won't get angry or something.I give you all my word of honor.''
He sat there with despair on his face. He knew that many things went wrong while he was in the war, but he didn't expect that it would go so deep. And they did it in his city. Where his family and many other families lived for generations in peace.
His face turned pale as he felt nausea. They saw his face and knew things in those papers were so horrid that even him who got through war felt disgusted.
Sir Tally looked at the group behind him.''I can't speak for others, but I and my family will stand on your side. No matter what happens in the future. I accept your request.''He said and walked to the books that officers held with shaking hands.
The rest of the nobles didn't even hesitate.''I will join, we as well, my family accepts the request'' and such could be heard from the group of people. They all accepted.
He looked at them with gratefulness .''In that case, read it all aloud. It's faster.''
Sir Tally looked at shaking officer and took the book from his hands. His hands as well started shaking. He looked at the Lord that held his head in his hands and looked at the floor while tears dropped down one by one.
When soldiers saw this they looked at those evil creatures with murder in their eyes. The Lord never cried in 20 years since they knew him. How much evil did these people do that he sat there and cried?
Kendra stood up and wanted to look at one of the books but at that moment the Lord saw her movement.''Stop right there!!! Don't you dare even to touch that thing.''he yelled.
Even if this child seemed to be rough and tough, but the things in those reports are that evil that even his heart shook to the core.
Kendra stood there frozen in movement. She didn't know what she did wrong but looking at the face sir Tally made...It seems something really cruel. She took her hand back and calmly came back to him.
She looked at his face and saw tears dripping out of his eyes. It seems it shook him that much...She put her hand and caressed his head gently. ''You are a big man and crying. So many tears there, are you trying to flood the town?''she said while she patted his head.
He looked at her like a child at mother (oh dear God!) and shook his head. With spoiled voice, he complained.''Those bad people made me cry. What you gonna do about it?''
She looked at him taken aback. Did he get such shock that he got a bit crazy?
''I will beat you up for such words you damn idiot!!!'' could be heard from the door's.
They all turned their head towards the side where the voice came from.''If you utter one more word, I will beat you so up that you won't be able to stand up for the next ten days. Understood!!!''
Kendra saw his face changing and looking in confusion. Awwww. She really needs to find a way to pinch him. Wait. Why does she want to pinch him? Is she really turning back in time and becoming childish? Well whatever, she has a child's body. And plans to have fun in this lifetime. Being a bit childish will not be a bad idea.
