BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69 Another Meeting
"You bitch! I will kill you and your slut of a mistress, Release me right now or none of you will leave here alive," He was hysterically shouting at Mel and the other girls but none of them were fazed by his empty threats.
Naomi quickly walked toward him and landed her foot on his face. She kept stepping on him until his face became a bloody mess. I had a hunch why normally patient Naomi was like this.
"Damn you, old man, it\'s all your fault," Mel and I had to intervene so that she won\'t kill him. We still needed him for our future activities.
I didn\'t use my real body to help because it could get confusing for others so I used my doppel to do the work. I already had a story built up so that they will follow me just as they did Davin.
Naomi got her patience back after releasing her wrath on the viscount. She explained to all those who were present here about my relationship with Davin and how we are going to do our work from now on. Since most of them were loyal to us in the first place we didn\'t have to go for extra steps to convince them.
The story we built up was Davin is one of my distant relatives and I financed him to help all these people while he did all the labour works. That explains other how my doppel got all the money.
Jerald was lying on the floor with a bloody face. It was a pathetic and gruesome sight to watch. I ordered to put him and all of his family in jail until we deliver their statement.
Anna\'s eyes were lifeless and her daughter was crying nonstop. I felt a little sorry for them but not enough to release them. Even though they look pitiful right now they have their own share of crimes in their report.
After finishing all the work, I decided to go and meet Aunt and others to finish capturing this land. I asked Naomi to come with me since I wanted to introduce her to the others.
When it comes to controlling the mass in the territory, someone familiar to them would be useful. That\'s where Sariya comes into play. She will convince all the citizens to follow me for a small time but when they experience my control and how advantageous they won\'t go back to the tyrant rule of the kingdom.
We went to pick up Sariya and Elda from the safe building. I didn\'t have any problem with them knowing my real identity because, unlike others, it didn\'t have any advantages or disadvantages.
I knocked on the door which was closed several times. It took them a few seconds to open the door and both of them were dressed in beautiful-looking clothes.
At first, Elda was confused to see a different person but after seeing Naomi she quickly calmed down and opened the door. Both Sariya and Elda were curiously looking at me.
"Sister Naomi, where\'s Sir Davin?" Elda was the one to break the silence.
"It\'s nice to meet you again, Sariya Cantrell and Elda Cantrell, my name is Velian Keller and I\'m the one who controlled the clone called Davin, I hope you don\'t misunderstand my intentions," I didn\'t let Naomi explain about it.
Sariya and Elda were confused by my words so I decided to show them the doppel. Both of them were looking at the doppel with interest and they saw how I controlled it.
"So you were the one who was controlling him," Sariya felt how powerful the man in front of her is. She never heard about something like doppel\'s and if this man has such high-level magic artifacts he must be someone big.
"Yeah, don\'t worry, what I told you in that body is a hundred per cent true," I convinced them to support me.
Both of them agreed to follow me so I took them to meet Mel. They were happy to see each other and Mel told them everything that happened.
Sariya had no facial changes after hearing the things that happened to her husband but Elda was different, no matter how harsh he treated her at the end of the day he was her father of her. She looked sad to her about it so we decided to stop talking about decreasing things.
"Sariya, you remember about the promise right?" I asked her and she gave me a nod.
"Well, it\'s nothing hard you need to be the intermediator between the people of this territory and me and make sure we don\'t get any unwanted complaints," She thought it will be more personal or a hard request but she was happy with his concern for the people.
"I will do my best, Sir Velian," She answered without any hesitation.
"Drop the sir part, I dislike such things just call me Velian, anyway we\'re going to meet our army and discuss our future path, then we will start the judgment of the viscount,"
We entered the building which was heavily guarded by my men. Beastmen and humans were standing there but right after they saw me, they didn\'t forget to give me the greeting.
"Good work, Sir, everyone\'s inside waiting for your arrival," I greeted him back and entered the building with the girls. They were fascinated to see so many people respecting me, despite me being a young man.
The room was filled with a lot of people including my mother and aunt. Most of the captains in the armies were also allowed to participate in this meeting. Delviny, Juno, and Remi were also there for the meeting.
The moment I entered the room all of them went silent. All of their attention was on me and the girls behind me.
"Everyone, We will commence our meeting to discuss the future of this territory and this is the former wife and daughter of viscount Jerald," I introduced them to the others.
Sariya and Elda were a little awkward to be subjected to so many gazes.
"Thank you, everyone, for letting me be a part of this meeting," Sariya was the one to break the silence.
All of them gave a welcoming smile and we all took our relevant seats in the room. Just like in previous meetings, I was given the most important place to sit.
"Let me explain before you ask any questions about the situation," I started to explain how things happened until now. I didn\'t mention doppel because it was a secret not to be taken lightly. I explained how I met Sariya and how she agreed to help us.
"We will not be tyrant leaders, like Jerald or kingdom, Our control policy is highly citizen friendly and Sariya will help us to stabilise this territory since she is loved by citizens, they will be more inclined to listen to her more than us and gradually we will win their trust," I said while pointing at Sariya.
"Veli, let\'s say we won the trust of everyone here, but Will the kingdom let us claim their land as our own? Most probably they will send the army to restrain us," My mother was the one to ask about it.
Everyone had a worried face because they might be able to defeat an army of a small territory or city but when it comes to the whole kingdom, It will be our demise.
"None of you have to worry about the kingdom, They won\'t be a threat to us anymore,"
"I didn\'t get it, why won\'t they attack us when we are clearly weaker than them," It was Juno\'s turn to question my intention.
"It\'s simple, The alliance of kingdoms have lost the war near the border, It will be their end if they send an army to attack us," Everyone who presents here knew about the war, but none of them knew about the current status of the war. They were surprised to hear about the defeat of the alliance of kingdoms.
"If the Malfoy kingdom got beaten in this war, then the next turn will be Rapidclaw kingdoms, They don\'t have the facility to send an army to attack us and in that time we will build our forces and get ready for the future,"
Everyone was relieved to hear about this information that they didn\'t even question its reliability.
"But how did you get all this information, Veli?" As expected of Lyra, she needed more information about it. Her calculative personality was her greatest quality.
"It\'s secret," I said while keeping my forefinger on my lips.
