THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 111: THE MARQUIS OFFER
Linster was also not surprised that Myro was not being polite to him, even Linster slightly appreciated Myro for this reason.
After all as a master, Myro had to support his followers. Moreover, Retya is not too wrong here, if Myro does not support Retya then Linster can only be sad towards the strong Retya but follow the wrong master.
Linster kept the spear behind him while smiling at Retya "You're really very strong, if your master doesn't stop in time, you can most likely kill me. How about joining the Marquis' army? I'm sure Marquis Gerda won't treat you any worse than your current master, I can also directly give you this position 5 weapon I have. Not only that, neither wealth nor power, as long as you follow the Marquis faithfully, you can definitely get all of that".
"A very interesting offer" said Retya who kept her sword "But I must refuse, I am only loyal to 1 person namely Mr. Myro, I am not interested in being loyal to others. Since you're here, I'll be back guarding the city walls".
Retya noticed that there was Lopen and Ren beside Myro, it was more than enough to protect Myro so he did not need to follow him anymore. However Retya knew how powerful Lopen and Ren were, if those 2 people worked together against him, he would definitely lose.
Myro nodded at Retya saying "Thank you for your hard work".
After Retya returned to the city walls under the respectful gazes of the soldiers there, Linster said again "Are you Baron Myro? My name is Linster, part of Marquis Gerda's 5 weapons. I came here to bring back Miss Fila and express the Marquis's gratitude for you protecting Miss from the bandits".
Myro waved his hand "No problem, let's go to the mayor's building so you and your troops can rest there. I'll let some people call Miss Fila".
When the new Myro was about to leave and let someone call Fila who was walking with Falka, Linster caught Myro's hand which stopped his movement.
"Baron Myro, I have something to talk to you about, at least Miss Fila should not hear about this. If you don't mind, can you please not call Miss Fila first?" said Linster.
Hearing that, Myro had already started thinking about Linster's purpose as well as what he was going to talk about.
A smile appeared on Myro's face, he already knew the purpose of Linster and Marquis Gerda "Alright, then let's go to talk about such an important matter. After we finish talking about it, then we can call Miss Fila again".
Linster smiled "Thank you for understanding, Baron Myro".
Then they went to the mayor's building while the troops brought by Linster had to stay in the barracks first, however they were too many so they could not go to the villa.
At first Myro planned to go to his villa, but when he thought about it again, Myro decided to use the mayor building as a meeting place. After all bringing guests to the mayor's building is better because it is Myro's main workplace in Loth City.
Upon arriving at the mayor's room, Myro and Linster sit opposite each other with Ren and Lopen remaining behind Myro. As for Feld, Myro let him get back to work.
"So, what are you going to talk to me about?" said Myro.
Linster who was sitting in front of Myro also did not waste any more time, however he did not plan to stay in the Myro region for too long, he had to return again to the territory of Marquis Gerda.
Myro may not know, but as Marquis Gerda's 5 weapons then Linster knows more about the state of Azeroth Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Azeroth, dubbed as the strongest kingdom in the Northern Continent, is experiencing the worst conditions, especially the problem of the successor to the throne of King Azeroth V.
Everyone knew that the king was nearing death from old age, but had yet to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince. Everyone knew right away that this meant the king had already chosen another prince as his successor, but the prince did not have strong support resulting in the king not having appointed him crown prince yet.
Because of this, the other princes began to aspire to be the next king while the oldest prince did not recognize his defeat. The situation in the Kingdom of Azeroth was now as silent before the storm, as long as something happened to King Azeroth V then a war between the princes was possible.
Therefore, Marquis Gerda who had considerable influence in the Kingdom of Azeroth would definitely be drawn also to this war of power struggle even though they were still neutral without supporting any prince.
Linster took out a document and placed it in front of Myro's "Lord Baron, Marquis Gerda knows that you are a talented person, but he hopes you will be aware of your position. A Baron with no background was no match for Miss Fila at all, even though we were not ungrateful people. Since you have already helped Miss Fila from the bandit attack, Marquis Gerda is very grateful".
"He offered you 2 gifts, did Mr Baron see that we came here with 2 large horse carriages? 1 Train is to bring Miss Fila back, while the other train has 1000 gold coins. The Marquis Gerda gift is that you can choose between 1000 gold coins or a letter in my hand, this letter is proof that Marquis Gerda gave a city that became his territory to you. Although the city given is not the best city belongs to the Marquis, it is still at least more prosperous than the 3 cities you have. In exchange for this gift, all your relationships and Miss Fila will be no more, how? Doesn't Lord Baron really need money or new territory to develop his power?".
Myro was not surprised by the words of Linster, actually this offer is quite good because 1000 gold coins is not a small amount of money, if he chooses the city then it means Myro's power becomes more widespread.
But Myro did not immediately choose, he only asked "Why does Marquis Gerda think that I and Miss Fila have a certain relationship? We're just a little friends because I've helped him get away from the bandits, there's no need to give him this much of a gift".
"Lord Baron, you don't understand" said Linster as he shook his head "Miss Fila is a smart person, she won't use Marquis Gerda's name carelessly, at least until now, at least, he had never bragged about using his father's name. But he dared to use the name Marquis Gerda to make a party in your territory, if there is nothing special about your relationship, why should Miss Fila help you by using her name at the party? Mr. Baron, forget about your relationship with Miss Fila, don't try to reach for something that shouldn't be within your reach".
Myro looked at Linster with a smile no matter "What if I refuse? Does Marquis Gerda dare to directly attack me if I refuse?".
