THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 197: CHANGING PRISONERS
All the guests in the party room were shocked, they were now beginning to understand why there were many nobles, political officials and military officials who supported King Azeroth V not invited to this party.
Not because Carla was hostile against the kingdom, but Carla was controlled by the kingdom through her capture.
Therefore, the higher-ups who supported the king were not invited so as not to be killed.
Seeing all the guests around standing still from shock, Myro's face turned furious "What are you all doing! Stop standing still in a place like a fool, get out of here right away if you're interested in staying alive!".
All the guests regained their senses, they looked at Myro full of gratitude before rushing away from the party room.
Even a man about 30 years old walked up to Myro "Master Earl, thanks for your help so we can still get out of this room alive! I am Count Yasha, a noble from the north of Azeroth Kingdom as well. I don't know if I was able to escape Rayde City alive, however Miss Carla must have surrounded the entire city using her soldiers. Even so, I will not forget this gratitude! As long as I leave here alive, I will definitely repay Master Earl's kindness! Earl Myro, take care of yourself".
Myro did not expect anyone to thank him to this extent, Myro nodded "You must also take care of yourself, Count Yasha! If we stay alive after we leave Rayde City, I'm sure we'll be friends".
Count Yasha nodded, then he left while carrying a bodyguard and servant who had followed him since the beginning of the party.
When most of the invited guests were gone, Carla said "Earl Myro, most of the people left the party room, I kept my word. So, why not let go of my son?".
Myro did not immediately answer Carla's words but asked Tarka beside her "General Tarka, what do you think? Do we have to take off the Loir that's in our hands?".
General Tarka smiled "If it had been before, I would have told you to let Loir go because I thought of him as my own grandson. But now it's a matter of our life and death, at least we have to get out of this room first before we let Loir go. I'm right, aren't I, Carla?".
Carla's face became gloomy, she observed Myro and Tarka coldly "Uncle Tarka, I consider you to be my own family, as well as my father. At first I was only planning to arrest you, but it seems like uncle gave me no other choice. Earl Myro, Uncle Tarka, you're the one who made me have to take a tough action".
Suddenly Tarka felt a life and death crisis from behind him, without hesitation Tarka turned around and drew his sword.
"But!".
A spear almost pierced Tarka's neck from behind, but fortunately Tarka noticed it in time so as to stop the spear.
In front of Tarka, there was a man about 30 years old who had short black hair and sharp brown eyes. On the entire face of the man were countless scars that proved the fighting experience of this man, even an extremely strong bloodthirsty aura was all around his body.
Looking at the man, Tarka's face became cautious despite still smiling "Who thinks that Herfu did not come here, but his left hand dared to come. Torner, is your arrival here known to old Herfu?".
"The general doesn't need to know, I came here at my own discretion!", Torner said firmly.
Myro looked carefully at Torner again because he had also heard of the greatness of Herfu's left hand.
Herfu is a general who is able to lead an army and strong fight, right-hand Herfu is expert at leading an army but not too strong if it is fighting 1 on 1, while Herfu's left hand, Torner, is not great at leading soldiers, but he is an expert in 1-on-1 combat.
Not only that, according to some news that has been spread, Torner can fight against Herfu for up to 30 minutes. Though the age of Torner is much younger, if Torner is 40 years old then it is expected that he is as strong as Herfu.
Tarka and Torner started fighting, their strength was almost the same which showed how strong the Torner was.
Myro looked at Carla again "Miss Carla is so great, even Vice General Torner came to help you without General Herfu's permission. But, did Miss Carla forget that Loir was still in my hands?".
"So, is Earl Myro now willing to release my son Loir? If it continues like this, I'm sure Earl Myro will not let go of Loir. Therefore, I'm ready to take the risk unless you release my son" Carla said determinedly, apparently ready for the worst possibility of Loir being killed.
More precisely Carla knew that as long as she did not fight back, Myro would not release Loir either but instead always make Loir a tool to threaten Carla to leave Rayde City. Therefore, Carla was determined to fight Myro now.
Myro shook his head "Miss Carla, I'm not lying! The other guests have left, and now it's just me and General Tarka. As long as Miss Carla lets us go, I'll let Loir go".
"No", said Carla shaking her head "Earl Myro, I am giving you an even more attractive offer! How about we do a prisoner exchange, you'll release Lori, in exchange for me being your prisoner. How's it?".
Myro is a little surprised at Carla's offer, however catching Carla is more profitable than Loir. But on the other hand Myro was suspicious, Carla must have also realized how important she was. Is Carla going to be so stupid as to let herself be arrested by someone else in exchange for Loir?
"Miss Carla, you're not kidding, are you?", Myro asked.
"Earl Myro, am I going to use my son's life as a joke?", Carla asked firmly, there was no doubt in her eyes.
Myro thought for a while before nodding "I agree, but you should approach us before I let go of Loir".
Myro knew it was likely that Carla had a secret weapon so he dared to do this, but Myro still decided to change the prisoner. Myro's reason for doing so was to check what secret weapon Carla had that made her very confident.
"I agree" said Carla walking over to Yorou who was holding Loir.
"Miss Carla, no! You must not let the enemy hold you back!", cried Torner who was busy fighting Tarka, his face looking very worried.
Loir is still unconscious now, if he realizes then he certainly does not agree with Ats mother's plan.
Carla paused while staring at Torner "At the end of the day a mother can't just sit idly by watching her child be in a life-and-death crisis! Torner, if I die here, you have to take care of Loir! My father alone is unable to support Loir, he needs the help of a talented young man like you".
