Chapter 494 Visiting nobles (10)

In the end, he chose to go through with our deal since it would benefit him the most.

He invited us to come and witness the execution, but I rejected that proposal.

While I wanted the death of these three, that didn\'t mean that I wanted to watch it myself.

So I just sent one of the people from my group to go and watch.

We had naturally come with assistants and this was one of the times to use them.

Though I did feel guilty about sending them to watch an execution like this, I had no choice since I had to make sure that it would happen.

So all I could do was pay that assistant a bit more for this matter.

It turned out that Viscount Teomold didn\'t go to the execution either, so we once again gathered in the living room of the manor.

When we sat down, Viscount Teomold looked at me with a smile and asked, "Count Zwein, did you enjoy the present that I left for you?"

My lips couldn\'t help twitching when I heard this.

There was a part of me that had wanted to punch him in the face when he said this, but I forced myself to calm down since there was nothing to gain from doing something as rash as this.

All I would be doing is making things worse for me.

So I said in a calm voice, "I did. Thank you very much."

Viscount Teomold\'s smile became wider when he heard this, but the expressions of his two daughters on the side became ugly.

They could guess what their father meant by this and they were very unhappy.

After all, based on the way that they looked at Zwein, it was clear that they were already enamoured by him.

It wasn\'t their fault since that face…was too handsome.

It was just how it was since he had been the main character of this world when it was still a game.

But they couldn\'t say anything since it was not their time to talk right now.

After hearing what I said, Viscount Teomold said with the same wide smile, "I\'m very glad that you enjoyed this gift. I hope that we can become even closer in the future because of this."

With the look on his face, it was clear that in his mind, he had done something very good.

By catering to my needs, I would forget about this matter and work more closely with him in the future.

With the look on his face, it was as if he could already see the bright future in front of him.

It was just too bad that in my mind, his future was dark.

Though I would never say that to his face.

Instead, I calmly said, "Yes, I hope that we can work more closely in the future."

There was a momentary pause before I said, "Actually, there\'s something that I want to ask of you."

Viscount Teomold was surprised when he heard this, but then he gave a nod and said, "Please, if there\'s anything that I can do, you can just tell me."

I gave a nod in response before saying, "The gift that you left me last night, I want to take it with me."

Viscount Teomold revealed an even more surprised look when he heard this, but then he revealed another wide smile as he said, "Of course, of course, you can take the gift if you enjoyed it. A gift given is naturally something that should be taken with you when you leave."

With the expression on his face, it was almost as if he wanted to burst into laughter when he heard this.

He had never thought that this desperate attempt to appease Count Zwein would turn out like this.

No, with how it turned out, it seemed like it even benefitted him even though he had to offend the Adventurer Guild.

He could smooth out his relationship with the Adventurer Guild, but building a relationship with this Count Zwein was already hard enough.

So in the long run, this was the better choice.

Or at least that was what I thought he was thinking based on the look on his face.

I really looked down on what a simple man this Viscount Teomold was, but that just worked in my favour.

Seeing that he accepted this, I then said, "But she doesn\'t want to leave her family behind, so I have to ask that you give them to me as well."

Viscount Teomold didn\'t seem to care at all, he almost even seemed to expect this.

So with a casual wave of the hand, he said, "No problem, no problem. I\'ll get someone to escort them to your territory tomorrow. I\'ll get the…"

Before he could finish, I suddenly said, "Thank you, but I\'ll get my own people to escort them back. I don\'t want to cause you any more trouble."

Viscount Teomold was surprised a third time, but he didn\'t remain that way for long.

After all, in his mind, he had already accomplished his goal.

Even if it seemed a bit strange this was the one thing that Count Zwein insisted on, that didn\'t mean that he would doubt it. Even if there was a part of him that told him that this seemed off, he ignored it.

In his mind, this was nothing more than a small matter, so there was no need to act up and risk offending Count Zwein.

With another wave of the hand, Viscount Teomold said, "No problem. I\'ll have my people work with your people on this. As long as you\'re happy with the gift that I\'ve given you."

As he said this, he made sure to stress the part \'I\'ve given you\', as if he was trying to state something.

I just gave a simple nod and said, "I am and I appreciate your help."

The two of us just looked at each other with smiles on our faces, but the smile didn\'t really reach my eyes.
