Chapter 173: Thrilling
The castle hall on the first floor.
Under Owen’s order, other captured nobles and knights were brought in one after another by the guarding soldiers.
“Duke Eddie, you bastard!”
Not far away, Fanny walked hurriedly towards the hall with anger on her face.
A burst of fire had already condensed in her right hand, ready to be thrown out at any time.
Looking at her furious look, the woman seemed to want to kill him. Duke Eddie was so scared that he was shaking all over.
“Fanny, don’t be impulsive!”
After settling the people rescued from the dungeon, Mapel suddenly discovered that Fanny had disappeared, so she hurried over.
Hmm? What’s going on? Could it be that after seeing the plight of the women imprisoned in the dungeon, Fanny has become extremely angry with Duke Eddie? Owen speculated.
In any case, there are so many people gathered in this hall. If the explosive flame is thrown over and explodes, it will definitely injure many people.
“Fanny! Hurry up and put away your magic…”
Owen hurriedly spoke to stop Fanny, but he was still a step too late.
“Go to hell!”
Because Duke Eddie was too fat, Fanny could find the target at a glance and threw the explosive flame at him without hesitation.
“Eh—quickly block it for me!”
Duke Eddie quickly pulled an old servant from the side and stood in front of him.
“Eh? Your Excellency the Duke, don’t!”
The old servant who was used as a shield turned pale in an instant. Seeing the explosive flame flying towards him, his heart suddenly sank and he thought he was dead.
Seeing this, the other people in the hall were also panicked and scattered, looking for shelters to hide. The scene was once in chaos.
Oops! There was no time to cast the fire shield, and Owen’s heart tightened.
Fortunately, Viscount Jarvis had already noticed something was wrong, and he chanted a spell in a low voice and prepared defensive magic in advance.
“Marquis Eisen, be careful!”
When the explosive flame was thrown close to him, he rushed in front of Owen and cast the water shield he had prepared.
Groups of water balls formed a circle in front, then merged with each other. The surrounding water quickly gathered towards the center and finally turned into a water shield.
At the same time, a faster ice blade flew from the diagonal rear of the thrown explosive flame, and the two attacks collided violently.
With a bang, the two attacks canceled each other out and formed a large cloud of water mist that spread outward.
It was obvious that the ice blade was a magic attack launched by Mapel.
Seeing that the danger was over, Viscount Jarvis withdrew his defensive magic.
“Fanny, I told you not to act impulsively.”
The mist in front gradually dissipated, and it could be seen that Mapel had Fanny under control on the ground.
“Order!”
Owen shouted.
“Everyone, keep an eye on the prisoners here. Don’t let them escape during the chaos.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers present immediately took action, driving back the captives who had just run away, and also arrested several nobles who wanted to escape in the chaos.
In fact, even if they really succeeded in escaping from the hall, there were patrolling soldiers in other places, and it would be difficult to escape from the lord’s castle area.
“My Lord, what just happened?”
At this moment, soldiers from other places heard the noise here and rushed over to check the situation.
Viscount Jarvis waved to the soldiers who came over and said.
“It’s all right now. Go back and continue patrolling.”
The situation at the scene quickly stabilized, and Owen and Viscount Jarvis came to Fanny.
At this time, Fanny had stood up, but her hands were still firmly controlled by Mapel from behind.
Viscount Jarvis had a serious expression on his face, and his only remaining right eye seemed to be burning with anger, obviously angry at the chaos Fanny had just caused.
He criticized harshly.
“Fanny, do you know what you just did? You almost hurt the lord!”
Fanny, who had slightly recovered from her anger, was very regretful. She lowered her head deeply and admitted her mistake sincerely.
“I’m sorry, my lord. It’s all my fault that I was blinded by anger. I am willing to accept any punishment.”
“Punishment is inevitable.”
If no punishment is given for such a mistake, Owen’s hard-earned reputation will inevitably be damaged.
But before that, Owen wanted to find out why Fanny did this.
“But first, I want to ask, why do you want to kill Duke Eddie so badly?”
“I found my friend Enri in the dungeon. She…”
Fanny sadly told Owen about her encounter with Enri in the dungeon.
Afterwards, the unconscious Enri was taken out of the dungeon and placed on a bed in the guest room.
Looking at her peacefully sleeping face, Fanny couldn’t help but think of the humiliation she had suffered. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she was overwhelmed by anger, which led to the thrilling scene just now.
“I’m sorry, Lord Owen.”
Mapel felt she was also responsible and said apologetically.
“It’s all my fault for not being able to keep an eye on Fanny.”
“You’ve done a great job, there’s no need to apologize.”
Owen said.
Then, he looked at Fanny and said in a preaching tone.
“Listen, Fanny, if something like this happens in the future, you must not act impulsively. Come and report to me. I will definitely seek justice for you. There is no need to dirty your hands. Do you understand?”
“Are you planning to execute Duke Eddie?”
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Fanny’s eyes.
The other party was a duke after all, and she thought the lord would spare the bastard’s life.
In response, Owen smiled slightly and asked.
“Why not? Since he has committed so many crimes, I naturally cannot let him continue to live in this world.”
“I understand, my lord.”
Knowing that the lord was willing to seek justice for her, Fanny made a solemn promise.
“I will never act on impulse again.”
Fortunately, no casualties were caused this time. Owen only punished Fanny by exempting her from three months’ salary and increasing her workload after she returned.
Since she will be punished anyway, why not let her contribute further to the development of Bianshu Town?
Even though Fanny felt bad about the money, she could only accept the punishment dejectedly.
The dungeon happened to be empty, so Owen ordered the guards to put all the valuable prisoners in the dungeon, leaving only Duke Eddie.
The servants of this castle did not need to be locked up, but were allowed to continue working, except that the person they served was no longer Duke Eddie, but Owen.
Before trying Duke Eddie, Owen had one more thing to do, which was to plunder the treasures of the lord’s castle.
In addition to the gold and silver jewelry and precious items in the room, the soldiers found and broke open the doors of the vault and underground warehouse, and moved out boxes of coins, a large number of high-quality magic stones and gold products, etc., not even a copper coin was left out, and they looted everything clean.
“These are all my treasures…”
Watching his wealth being plundered, Duke Eddie’s face turned extremely pale and his heart was bleeding.
“No, no, no, they are all mine now.”
Owen corrected from the side.
