Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Forgetting All the Sadness
Based on reports from his intelligence network in the empire, Issac did get reports that the Lambard trade union was often in trouble lately. Their turnover is decreasing. Not because the things they sell are not sold. But even more horrible.
Their merchant caravans were often attacked by bandits, who, unfortunately, were a group directly connected to the nobles. The items they had snatched from the caravan flowed directly into the pockets of the nobles.
In addition, they also applied high entry rates to Lambard caravans. It makes their finances drained and the price of the goods they sell is getting higher so that buyers try to find other traders to buy the same goods at a cheap price.
It was the effect of the refusal made by Franz Lambard, father of the Carolinas, to the nobles and officials. He strictly limited the sale of raw materials, did not want to divulge information, and refused to give credit to the nobles for the sake of funding their troops.
That was why Lambard's competitors and nobles allied to force Lambard to join them. But even so, Lambard's position did not falter at all. It continued to dominate the imperial market, control the distribution of goods, and became a large trade union.
It was precisely the nobles who had to be troubled because of the daily needs that were usually sold at the appropriate price by the Lambard trade union instead rose every time. Their sloppiness has created a disaster and little by little is destroying their own finances.
Of course not all nobles are that frivolous. They chose a much smoother but very dirty way. There were many subordinates of Franz Lambard who wanted to occupy the leadership seat and depose Lambard's position. They assumed that Lambard was too flabby and cowardly for fear of defeat.
The nobles of Manstein's side helped them to dethrone Franz from the position of chairman by providing many forms of assistance. Instead, if they manage to take over the chairmanship, Lambard's trade union will have to provide real support to Manstein and his allies.
As his mind went everywhere, Issac felt something. His body suddenly reacted. Damnit damnit! That's a sign Carolina is in danger!
Issac immediately changed his direction and ran. Panicking too much, he forgets that he has teleportation magic. But the run is very fast. He gritted his teeth many times out of carelessness!
I can't believe they're moving! Wait for me, Carolina!
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Carolina was helpless on the floor of her home. His pierced stomach was spitting out a lot of blood. If there was no strength of Issac in his body, perhaps his soul had been separated from his body since earlier.
But the problem is, there is a very strong paralyzing poison in the knife that pierced his stomach. That's why Carolina couldn't move at all even though she was conscious.
A yellow-haired man in his early 30s stomped on Carolina's head with a stupor. Although his face was elegant, but he became ugly as his face was distorted by spiteful and arrogant experesi.
"Miss Carolina, you're the heir to a trade union belonging to your grandparents and father. But it's a pity that, because the cowardly nature of your father is inherited from you, I have to take action.
"I can't bear to see the company built by your predecessor will be destroyed. Supporting the nobles is not bad. We get a big advantage if they win. Even if it's a heavy bet, we'll make a lot of profit."
"Not really. They will not win the war. They struggled financially, equipped their troops with poor equipment, left their soldiers exposed to disease and starvation, and were paid poorly.
"You won't even be able to defeat the Moskov Empire. Proved you guys dragged into a war for decades. If Lambard's trade union allied with the nobles, they would definitely be affected."
The man was shocked by the sudden presence. So was the man standing next to her. He should be able to sense the presence of a person from a long distance. But why couldn't he feel the young man's presence?
That person, who was standing at the entrance of the headquarters of the Lambard Trade Union was Issac. He stood up with no expression. But anger can be felt from him.
"Cih it's you! A leader of a small trade union came to this place? What are you looking for, boy!?"
"none. I just want to take my woman back. So, get your feet out of there immediately."
The man smiled cunningly. She wanted to do something even more sadistic to Carolina but her legs were numb. It was because his legs had broken off before he realized.
"ARRGHHHHH!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!? OI YOU! FINISH HIM!!"
The rightful man immediately clapped his hands and thirty Shinobi immediately jumped onto Issac who was walking towards them. But before their feet hit the floor, their bodies were all split in two.
"W-what really happened!? Even me...."
The man finally spoke. He had lost his composure and fell into a panic. Grabbing his katana, he immediately invaded Issac. Unfortunately for him, it was his end-of-life history because his head flew in one fist.
"No!! Please don't kill me! I-I promise I'll give you..."
He had not finished speaking when his body was crushed by Issac's kick. He soon heals Carolina and teleports to her room in Madam Heid's mansion. She wants Carolina to forget everything. And that's why, that night, Carolina united with Issac.
Carolina was put on the bed and Issac took off his clothes. He violently touched all parts of Carolina's body and kissed her. Carolina's grief is lost and replaced by pleasure.
That night, in order to allay Carolina's pain, she let the woman ride herself and move her body wildly until morning came.
