Start as Inherited Baroness

"It was a very accidental thing, but I am honored to be able to help His Highness."

Simon bowed respectfully with a smile on his face.

"I said before that whoever captures the assassin alive will be made a baron, and I will not break my promise.

I will ask His Majesty the King to make you the Baron of Sanshan Territory." Ferdy Bavarick said suddenly after a moment of hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will definitely serve the kingdom..." Simon was overjoyed, and the corny words came out of his mouth unconsciously.

He basically knew the territories near the Courageous Territory. The Sanshan Territory was in the southeast, bordering the Fearless Territory.

It seemed that the three territories were all connected, which was very convenient.

And the area of ​​the Sanshan Territory was ridiculously large. From the map, it was more than twice that of the Courageous Territory.

About 2,500 square kilometers.

"Okay, I will announce this matter in public at tomorrow's meeting. Go!" Prince Ferdy smiled and ordered him to leave.

"Yes! I'll take my leave!" Simon bowed again and left.

The one leading the way was still Knight Doler, who was greeting him warmly.

But Simon didn't listen carefully. He was so excited that he felt like he had won a five-million-dollar jackpot.

He didn't calm down until he was about to leave the castle. He slowly realized that something was wrong...

In Prince Fedi's lord's hall.

"Bring the assassin here for me to see.

Shadow magic is really a rare school. It hasn't appeared for hundreds of years.

Who wants to kill me... Marquis Val? Or my good brother? Besides, there should be no one else...

I'm kind to others and haven't offended anyone."

Prince Fedi sat in the main seat. In addition, there were several older consultants and knights sitting on both sides of the long table.

"Yes!" A knight in full plate chain mail stood up, responded, and walked out.

"Your Highness, why did you grant the Three Mountains Territory to Baron Simon? He is the man of Marquis Val."

At this time, a middle-aged man with reddish-gold hair asked in confusion.

"I think Your Highness wants to use those families to get rid of this little guy.

The previous lord of the Three Mountains Territory was also a baron who was promoted by the Marquis. His whole family died and the position was vacant.

Now those earls are making a lot of money, and it is not easy for Your Highness to make a decision.

If they can get rid of Baron Simon, three territories will be vacant, and the benefits will be much easier to distribute."

A brown-haired consultant who sat opposite him said so.

"However, the strategic location of Sanshanling is quite special, which can just block the passage from the forest valley to the west...

Marquis Val might help Baron Simon, and then we will be passive."

"I think the Marquis can't split himself, and the orcs in the northern wilderness are ready to move south again..."

......

During this period, Prince Ferdie didn't say anything, just listened to their debate with interest.

After a while, they still talked about their own things, and they all sounded reasonable.

"Your Highness, the assassin is here!" At this time, a full-bodied voice came from outside the door.

"Bring him in!" Ferdie Bavarik shouted.

The door was gently pushed open, and a knight in full plate armor walked in.

In addition, there were more than a dozen heavy infantrymen with oak shields escorting the assassin.

"Your Highness! This is the last assassin, who has not been interrogated yet." The plate armor knight knelt on one knee and reported.

"It's a woman, take off her black robe." Prince Ferdie said in a low voice.

"Yes!" The guards responded, untied the rope on the assassin, and took off the black robe.

The stunning appearance of this woman was immediately displayed in front of Prince Feidi and everyone.

And she also cast her charming eyes over.

Everyone's face flashed a trace of surprise and emotion, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall suddenly dissipated a lot.

It's true that appearance is justice.

"Your Highness Feidi, this woman may know the art of charm! This may not be her original appearance!"

At this time, an old wizard sitting on the left side of the long table stood up.

He raised his staff, and without chanting a spell, a white ripple spread from the gem on the staff.

Suddenly, circles of light waves echoed in the hall. This is a high-level purification technique that can break many illusion spells.

Sure enough, after this magic, everyone looked at the female assassin again, and they didn't have such a strong admiration.

But her appearance did not change at all, she was born like this.

Prince Feddy had a smile on his lips, and said calmly: "Who ordered you to assassinate me?"

...

The story in the castle has nothing to do with Simon.

He is now sending people to inquire about some intelligence, but the harvest is very little.

Prince Feddy Bavarik wants to give him such a large piece of land, and he always feels uneasy in his heart.

In this world, there is no stranger who treats you well for no reason.

Moreover, Prince Feddy's actions do not seem to win him over, and there is no hint in his words.

"How can he be so generous..."

In the lord's hotel, Simon sat alone at the table in the bedroom, spread out the sheepskin map, and studied it carefully.

"This mountain in the southern area of ​​​​Sanshan Territory is too cleverly located. If a fortress is built at this pass, wouldn't it be...

No, there seems to be a pit here..."

Simon had already realized that something was wrong, but there was absolutely no reason to spit out the meat that he had eaten.

Besides, it's not easy to vomit. This is an upright conspiracy.

At this time, Mailan came to the door and reported: "Lord Baron, Knight Sarit has heard some news."

"Ask him to come here," Simon called immediately.

"Yes!" Mailan responded and left.

After a while, Salit walked into the house and reported: "Sir, I learned from the leader of the caravan that all the barons before the Three Mountains Territory were dead.

Nowadays, several established nobles are vying for this territory, but the specific news is not known yet. "

"Oh! That's it! This Prince Feidi really has no good intentions and wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

Simon suddenly understood.

"I understand. If you continue to inquire, if you have any important news, report it immediately."

Simon pondered for a moment and then ordered.

"Yes!" Salit saluted, then turned around and went out to work.

Simon remained silent in the room. In fact, he felt a little sad. He originally wanted to settle down and farm with peace of mind.

With his current strength, he is simply not suitable to get involved in any vortex.

"Alas, it is a blessing and a misfortune. I must ask Marquis Val for help in this matter.

The strategic position of Sanshan Leader is good, he should be interested, don't be half-hearted in the future, just hold on tight..."

He was thinking about it in his mind, and before he knew it, the sky was getting dark.

Simon went to the window and looked at the last embers of the setting sun on the horizon, and sighed: "Those people are still struggling, how can I have a smooth journey?

When soldiers come to block it, water comes and earth comes to cover it up. Eat first, your body is your capital..."

"Lord Baron, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?" At this time, Mailan's voice sounded outside the door.

"Okay! Make more meat!"
