Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"He won't leave." Lucia thought for a while, and said, "That old fellow Kerak is not stupid."

"Your Highness, what if the land in the west is assigned to him?" Deacon No. 3 said coldly.

"What? You asked me to allocate such a large piece of land to him?" Lucia stared at the third deacon coldly.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Deacon No. 3 waved his hand and said, "The remote place over there is too far away from us. Can't we just throw Kerak there and clean it up later?"

"Besides, that Liu Feng is not simple. Let Kerak fight him, and we will deal with the other two dukes first." Deacon No. 3 raised his mouth slightly, and this plan was given to him by the bishop.

"Will Kerak go?" Lucia was persuaded.

"Your Highness, the land to the west is dozens of times larger than a dukedom, which is equivalent to a small principality. He will agree." The third deacon said confidently.

Although many parts of the western land are wasteland and no one has developed it, the land is huge, especially for an ambitious duke, he will definitely be tempted.

"Okay, I will give an order to seal the western land to Kerak, and then let him leave the capital immediately." Lucia thought it made sense after thinking about it. After clearing the other two dukes, he would come to clean up Kerak.

Chapter 0705 self-reliance ambition.

The mansion of the Grand Duke of Kerac, at this time Kerak was questioning his eldest son, Tove.

"How's it going, have you found Catherine?" Kerak asked with a frown.

"Father, there is still no trace." Tove responded with his head bowed.

"How is it possible?" Kerak frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any concern in the palace?"

His current situation is not very good, it can be said that it is very dangerous. He thought that he could marry the Grand Duke of Benson, but in the end he did not expect to fail, which led to the embarrassing and dangerous situation now.

If the grand duke is drawn over by the prince, then he is really in danger, after all, the grand duke alone cannot deal with the grand prince.

Now he can only hope to find Catherine, and then join hands with the Grand Duke of Benson, so that he may be able to gain more benefits, and even bring down the eldest prince, and they will ascend to the throne.

Although they have many ideas, the other grand dukes are not stupid, they are all people who don't see the benefits and don't let go. Some people are afraid of being liquidated by the grand prince, so they would rather maintain this situation.

"There is no one in the palace. I heard that Princess Lucy was also taken away." Tove said in a low voice.

"Damn it, who is playing tricks?" Kerak said angrily.

He knew what the other two grand dukes meant, and his thoughts were similar.

"Father, what should we do now? Are we going to join forces with the Grand Duke of Boken?" Tove asked.

"He refused." Kerak sighed and said, "He still prefers the eldest prince, it's just that he didn't get some protection, so he's hesitating."

"Then? What should we do then? If we continue to delay, it will be bad for us." Tove said anxiously, knowing that they were the ones who betrayed the eldest prince in the first place.

"No rush." ​​Kerak waved his hand, rubbing his eyebrows and thinking about how to break the situation.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside the study door, followed by a knock on the door.

"Master, the eldest prince has sent someone to convey the order." The butler shouted.

"Oh? Bring someone in." Kerak frowned, command? He has long since disobeyed orders.

"Yes." The butler replied respectfully.

"Kagji..."

After a while, the door of the study was pushed open, and the third deacon walked in. This time he was here to deliver the order, or to persuade the Grand Duke of Karak to go to the west.

"Your Excellency?" Kerak squinted his eyes. He knew that there was this person beside the eldest prince, but he just didn't know where it came from.

"Grand Duke Karak, I am the one who will deliver orders for His Highness." Deacon No. 3 saluted.

"What order?" Kerak raised an eyebrow.

"Before the order is propagated, please tell the Grand Duke Kerak a piece of information." The third deacon said with a smile on his lips.

"Speak." Kerak said lightly.

"I know who captured Miss Catherine? Where did she go?" Deacon No. 3 said calmly.

He likes the current feeling very much. He can play with people from several forces, and the other party will act according to his requirements.

"Who?" Kerak said gloomily, his eyes widened, "Where is Catherine now?"

"Liu Feng, Miss Catherine should be in Xiyang City right now, which is the land to the west." The third deacon said calmly.

"How is it possible?" Tov was the first to not believe it. The land to the west is so far away, how could Catherine go to that remote place all of a sudden.

"What if the bird-clan orcs were involved?" The third deacon spread his hands and said coldly, "Even Princess Lucy was taken to Xiyang City."

"..." Kerak was silent, looking at Deacon No. 3 quietly, and after a long while, he said, "The order doesn't mean that I want to go to Xiyang City to rescue Princess Lucy, does it?"

"Yes." Deacon No. 3 nodded lightly, and it was inevitable that the order would be guessed.

"Tell Your Highness, next year I'm getting old and it's not easy to move around. Please, Your Highness, please hire someone else." Kerak said indifferently, "If possible, bring Catherine back by the way."

Yes, he gave up on Catherine and let him go to the Westlands. Isn't this the center of power that made him leave the capital?

"No hurry, His Highness's order hasn't been announced yet." Deacon No. 3 said unmoved.

"What else?" Kerak frowned, no matter what the order was, he would not listen.

"His Royal Highness ordered the Grand Duke of Karak to set out immediately to rescue Princess Lucy from Xiyang City, and stay in the west after success. That area will be the territory of the Grand Duke of Kerak." The third deacon said with a smile on his lips.

"What do you mean?" Kerak wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Grand Duke Karak, Your Highness intends to seal the land in the west to you as your territory." The third deacon said calmly.

"Where's the warrant?" Kerak said in a low voice.

"Here!" The third deacon took out a linen scroll from his pocket and handed it to the Grand Duke of Kerak.

"It's actually true..." Kerak looked at the issuance stamp on the warrant.

He didn't expect that Lucia would have such courage, and actually sealed off the entire western land to him, which is two-tenths of the territory of the entire Kingdom of Yingluo.

The central part of the Kingdom of Yingluo accounted for 40% of the territory, 20% in the west, 20% in the east, and 10% in the north and south. This is the distribution of the territory of the Kingdom of Yingluo.

The most barren is the west, that is, the land of the west, the next is the north and the south, and the best is the inland center.

"Then, Grand Duke Kerak, please set off for the western land as soon as possible." The third deacon left behind these words, knowing that Kerak was moved.

"Kagji!"
