Chapter Fifteen: Baron Peter

  The sky is already bright, and the vendors on the street outside have started calling out their wares. I stretched my waist and patted the round, smooth, and elastic buttocks of the woman beside me: "Get up, it's daytime."

  Xīnlíng buried her head in the quilt, muttering: "Don't want to, I still want to sleep for a while, you made me too tired last night." Since she revealed her feelings to me, she has been completely different from before when we're in bed. The word "coquettish" is no longer enough to describe her now - she dares to use any pose, and sometimes even I blush at the erotic words she uses. As a result of our nightly trysts, she's always sleeping in late nowadays. No wonder she doesn't like that pale-faced Alstot; his meager assets probably can't satisfy this... (thinking maliciously).

  It wasn't easy to drag this sleepy woman out of bed, but we finally left the inn together. Along the way, Serena kept complaining about being tired, I have no idea where her energy came from when she was shopping yesterday. Lievman's carriage had been waiting outside for a while, today he will take us to his home as guests and discuss the details of our capture plan.

  Like his convertible, the carriage's appearance gives people a first impression of being huge, and then they notice the beautiful peony pattern inlaid on the carriage. He said that the peony is the crest of his family. Every noble family has its own crest, and only nobles can engrave their family crest on the carriage head. If ordinary people do this, all their property will be confiscated, and the whole family will be sentenced. The pattern on Liev's carriage was only dared to be engraved on both sides of the car door. Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare change the position of that peony.

  "Drive!" The coachman drove the huge carriage pulled by two fine horses slowly along the street from the south gate of Natis, heading towards Hayde City where Liveman lived. Xilina looked curiously out of the window, here was different from the endless Mosan grassland, the road was lined with beautiful gardens and forests, farmers were bent over working in the fields, a yellow wheat color showed that this year was another bumper harvest, and the occasional appearance of small woods made the scenery even more vibrant.

  Liefman began to introduce his family to us while we were admiring the scenery outside the window. He now has a happy family, a very beautiful and virtuous wife, and two mischievous but lovely daughters. When he mentioned his two daughters, a proud expression appeared on his chubby face, as if these two daughters were the most precious treasures in the world for him. Nearby, Serena looked at me with a glance when she heard him talk about his daughter, her expression seemed to be somewhat expectant, did she also want children? No wonder she was so proactive now.

  Time flew quickly in the endless chatter of Lievman, along the way we saw many fields and estates, according to Lievman, they were some wealthy nobles who had bought properties here, sometimes they would come to these estates for vacation, I saw a noble carriage with an eagle emblem on its head entering an estate on the road.

  The sun was already high in the sky, and before we knew it, it was time for lunch. As we were enjoying our sumptuous meal on the carriage, a group of knights passed by the side of the carriage, which was the third group we had seen. According to Lievman, they were soldiers under the command of William, Duke of this place, who was an excellent ruler and often sent his knights to patrol their territory, eliminating all theft and violence, and under his management, the entire Aize County was in order, and the people loved him very much. However, it is said that the king and he had a bad relationship, with some kind of dispute, which almost led to war.

  Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little astonished. It turned out that most of the territories in the Kingdom of Wighton were ruled by dukes, whose powers were so great that even the royal authority could be ignored, and they could also have their own private soldiers. If some vassals were to rebel, wouldn't this country become chaotic?

  Lifman dispelled my doubts, as dukes are members of noble families and they generally have connections with other families, such as intermarriage, business partnerships, or classmates and friends. These various ties make it difficult for them to have rebellious intentions. Even if a lord dares to rebel, his family will immediately be implicated, and once defeated, except for the ringleaders being executed, others will be stripped of all their rights, reduced from nobles to serfs, which is also a powerful deterrent against rebellion. In addition, the military strength possessed by the royal family in the kingdom's central control zone is the most feared threat, with 300,000 troops stationed within the central control zone, which has a population of tens of millions, and more troops can be mobilized in times of emergency, making it impossible for the surrounding lords to resist.

  Listening to what he said, I also gained some understanding of the nobles of Weiton. The nobility is indeed a complex class, with complicated interpersonal relationships, but at the same time possessing great power, no wonder many people want to become nobles, and Liveman has expressed his desire for the nobility more than once.

  The carriage drove for a day, and we finally arrived at Lievman's estate in the suburbs of Heide before nightfall. This estate doesn't look small either, it seems that he has accumulated quite a bit of wealth from traveling around to do business over the years, which is not easy for someone who is not a noble.

  "Father!" As the old butler opened the door, two angelic little girls rushed out of the house and flung themselves at Lifman's body. They must be his often-mentioned daughters, Tess and Liss, who were indeed identical twins. Following closely behind them was a mature and beautiful woman. No wonder he had been boasting about her - this brown-haired beauty was exceptionally stunning, with a tall figure and curves that made my heart skip a beat. In terms of beauty, she was only slightly inferior to Serena. Looking at Serena, who had suddenly become excited at the sight of a woman who could rival her in beauty, I couldn't help but think that women were indeed creatures prone to jealousy.

  "Old man, you're back." This beautiful woman not only looked stunning, but her voice was also so alluring. If she used that seductive voice to call out in bed, heh heh, I'd probably start bleeding from the nose just thinking about it. Who knows how Lifu managed to marry a wife like this?

  "Ah, I'm back. Let me introduce you, this is Vitek, the other one is his wife Nana, and this one is my wife Freya, whom I've told you about. Alright, let's not stand at the door, today we're going to enjoy a delicious dinner here, please come in!" After introducing us, Lifman warmly led us into his home.

  At the dinner party, Lievman was telling his wife and daughters about our adventures on the way here. He has a great talent for storytelling, and when he got to the part about the dangers we faced, even I felt like I was back in that bloody battlefield again. I don't know how he managed to see what was happening at the time, hiding who-knows-where as he was. His wife and two daughters were listening with bated breath.

  When he talked about how I bravely fought off a group of horse bandits, two little girls looked into my eyes and saw stars, even someone with thick skin like me couldn't help but blush under the pure and innocent gaze of the two naive little girls, making Xilina laugh secretly.

  Just as we were chatting happily, the butler came rushing in and said to Lifman: "Sir, that Baron Peter has come to see the mistress again."

  Liefman's mouth, which was still speaking, suddenly stopped there. Nothing happened along the way and we almost forgot about him. I didn't expect that he would actually come to our doorstep now, and even more so, openly pester other people's wives. This is really too much.

  "What's going on with this Peter!" Lievman gritted his teeth and asked Freya, "Why did he come to find you? Why did he send people to attack me? Tell!!"

  The poor woman was frightened by Lievman's loud shouting, and tears fell from those charming eyes. She choked to explain to her husband: "It has nothing to do with me, he has been pestering me all the time, I didn't respond to him at all, please believe me, I'm telling the truth!"

  The old butler on one side also defended her: "Master, the madam has indeed never accepted Baron Peter's invitation, please believe her."

  I roughly understood that the baron wanted to pursue Lievman's wife, but was rejected, and then he thought of killing Lievman and slowly getting Freya. Is this what nobles are like? They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, it seems these guys who have been corrupted by luxury have no moral conscience left, not to mention the victim Lievman, even I as an outsider can't stand it.

  "Bring him in!" Contrary to my expectations, Lieverman soon calmed down and had the butler bring in the notorious baron.

  "Please come in." The butler respectfully invited a man wearing a luxurious suit into the gate.

  This Baron Peter is probably around twenty-seven or eight years old, with a still somewhat handsome face that carries an arrogant expression. His pale complexion shows his usual life of debauchery, but he still has some charm to attract women. His mannerisms are very affected, and when entering the room, he even covered his nose, as if the air in the room was foul. In short, there is only one evaluation for him: a despicable guy. I have no idea how such a guy can be a noble, and my mind is maliciously speculating.

  Lord Peter's eyes swept across the hall, and suddenly lit up: apart from Fleur, there was actually another beauty who surpassed her, today was really his lucky day. As for us men, he had already automatically ignored us.

  As he gazed at his wife with a gaze that was full of desire, even onlookers could see it. "Cough, cough!" Liveman, who had been ignored, coughed awkwardly and said to him: "Please restrain yourself! Honorable Baron, this seems to be my home, don't you think that doing such things in someone else's home is losing face for the Detwitz family?"

  The baron seemed to have just discovered that there was another man in the room, and he withdrew his flirtatious gaze, turning instead to scrutinize Rifuman with a disdainful expression that even I could see: "So you're Freya's husband, huh? You're not worthy of speaking to me. Just look at yourself - Freya is wasting her youth by being with you. If she were with me, she would be able to enjoy a good life. If you know what's good for you, you'll divorce her yourself. Otherwise, you'll have to face the consequences of offending a noble."

  "You bastard!! I won't leave Freya, it's you who should get out of here! Now I'm telling you seriously, you're not welcome here! If you continue to bother Freya again, I won't be polite to you! Get out of here!" Not only Peter, but also us who know him were shocked by his sudden outburst, his originally chubby face was red with anger, showing the extent of his indignation.

  Baron Peter was taken aback, and his body began to shake violently. His still somewhat handsome face twisted with rage, he had lost all composure, and was now shouting hysterically like a duck: "You scum! You... you... dare to insult me, that's an insult to my family! Let me tell you, this isn't over, I'll make sure you pay for this, I swear on the name of the Twitz family! I'll hang you, and your property and wife will be mine! I... Ah..."

  I really couldn't bear to listen to this guy's vicious words anymore, so I lightly kicked him out of the door and he fell to the ground outside with a thud. Baron Peter struggled for a long time before finally getting up, walking away while continuously cursing: "You savages! How dare you lay hands on me, a noble? You will definitely be executed for treason!" Seeing me approach again, making gestures as if I wanted to kick him, he quickly escaped onto his carriage and sped away.

  After driving away Baron Peter, Lievman, who was still in a rage just now, suddenly slumped on the stool, as if he had lost all his strength. "Woo... I'm done for, I've actually offended the Twitz family, this time there's no good outcome no matter what. Sorry, Freya, I've ruined our home."

  "My dear, you were really too manly just now. You actually dared to quarrel with that noble for me. You are the only one I love, don't worry, everything will be alright." Furei tightly hugged her husband and gently comforted him.

  Lefman gradually calmed down under the comfort of his gentle and kind wife, suddenly he thought of something, raised his head and said: "Sorry, Veta, where did our... Veta go?"

  "He's gone? I think he followed that little clown baron who just left, I think he wants to take care of something." As expected, Xilena understands me after all. Since we have an enemy, it's only natural to take care of them before they can harm us, this is the way of the Night Clan.
