The Transmigrated Novelist - Chapter 268

Even though their words seemed just like returns of goodwill, the truth was that it was just like exchanging poisonous flowers.

Neither of the beauties seemed willing to back down, as they were both trying to push forward as much as they could.

Just like two lionesses fighting it out for who would be the Queen beside their King. Neither of them seemed simple or forgiving as they stood alert while trying to bring down the enemy.

Amidst that tension, finally, the door to the office room opened and Baldy entered inside. He had a calm and natural countenance, and it was clear that he had found nothing suspicious.

Well, even if he had found something suspicious about that place, he would still not make it public, as there was a strange relationship between him and Alma.

That could be seen from the way that he had treated and helped her on the way back, but also the protection he had offered her until now.

In fact, the truth was that he was ready to have a nice little fight with these bastard nobles, but the moment he entered inside he saw Young Lady Aura, and immediately greeted her by bowing a little.

“Young Lady Aura to what or whom do I owe the favor of your visit?”

“Uncle Darren you don’t have to act like that, you have trained me with the sword since I was a little girl. You are my teacher, and my benefactor, please don’t stand in ceremony.”

“That is all in the past Young Lady Aura, I am afraid that I can’t afford to treat the same the current you!”

Weirdly Baldy’s words carried some sort of under meaning and pain. Like he knew another version of Young Lady Aura that no one else knew. A version that had disappeared with time.

Young Lady Aura seemed to feel a bit complicated at that moment as well, but she managed to quickly regain her senses and clarity as she said,

“Very well then, let’s leave it at that! I came here running because I heard that there might be problems for my big sister Alma.

Both I and my brother can’t imagine of her doing something against the law, so my dear brother sent me here personally to see what was going on!

My dear brother truly has a soft corner for my big sister Alma!”

Even though it looked like she was trying to help Alma, she was actually influencing the thoughts of people inside the room.

Of course, everyone knew of Young Noble Timothe’s infatuation with Alma, but they also knew that she didn’t seem to bid him any attention.

For that reason, these nobles didn’t think much of her and treated her just like some sort of stupid and ignorant woman.

Yet the fact that Young Noble Timothe had sent his own little sister to come and help her could show that the relationship between the two had progressed a bit.

Seeing that Alma didn’t actually refuse the words, all the nobles inside the room, especially Knight Kiel, and Baron Timo felt like they had just shot their selves on their feet.

Roy who was witnessing whole this situation from the corner didn’t really say anything to anyone, he just acted like a spectator in a great show.

He had no idea what the Guild Master, the 2nd Elder, and Alma were planning, but it clearly wasn’t something really beneficial to him.

If he didn’t pay attention and care towards everything that was going on, he might just end up dead one day, without understanding how he died.

The person to attract his curiosity the most at this moment though wasn’t Alma, or any of the nobles in the room, nor Baldy, but Young Lady Aura.

It seemed like he had underestimated this girl a bit too much on his first impression, as she was much more dangerous than her brother, or than Alma.

If Young Noble Timothe and Alma looked like chess pieces placed on board by their parents or someone else, she seemed to behave and try to be a player of the game.

That clearly showed her great capacity, potential, talent, ambition, and greed something that Roy couldn’t allow to happen.

It wasn’t only due to the fact that he was thinking of making her one of his Blood Slaves, and his secretary but also because this play had too many players already.

Not only that, but it looked like the situation had become so complicated that there were more players than chess pieces, which was clearly not a good sign.

With those thoughts in mind, Roy turned his attention towards the show, while Baldy said with a complicated gaze,

“Young Lady Aura doesn’t need to worry, I personally checked everything from the bottom flower to the highest and found nothing illegal or suspicious happening in there!

Most probably the information that the nobles, and we received was nothing more than false information.”

“Really!? Is that so!? Well, it seems like I came here for nothing, the situation is already clear. With that said, I have some work to take care of, so I am leaving now!

Big sister Alma don’t hesitate to tell me should you need help in the future! Soon we are going to become a family, after all!”

This was an explosive bomb, not only for the nobles but also for Baldy, who seemed unable to control his emotions and screamed,

“What!? Since when? When did you agree little Alma? Did your father force you!?”

His reaction was clearly unexpected as many weird eyes fell upon him, but none of them dared to actually say something.

They all knew that this Bald Master was an existence that even the Earl himself valued highly, and would always trust.

Alma could feel the warmth from those words, as a bittersweet feeling appeared on her heart. She wanted to tell her Uncle Baldy everything, but unfortunately, things were extremely complicated as they were.

“Yes, Uncle Darren it’s true! I agreed to marry Young Noble Timothe, and my father is already discussing with His Excellency the earl to deal with the latest details.

Most probably we will get married a few months from now when the situation about the inheritance is finally settled.”

“Sigh~! You poor girl! Forgive this uncle for being unable to help you at such a time!”

“Don’t worry Uncle Darren, my father agreed to the proposal because I agreed to it!”

While her words and actions indicated that she was telling the truth, her performance wasn’t really convincing, as it was clear that she didn’t want something like this.

Well, her last hope of not marrying that guy was only Roy. At this moment, only he could help her escape this black fate of hers.

On the other hand, the nobles seemed displeased at the Commanders words about their Young Lord, and they immediately voiced their displeasure,

“Commander Darren you better be careful with your words, you were talking about the next Lord of Badona Dominion just now!”

“Huh!? You vermins are still here? You better disappear from my sight, before I actually lose my mind and start arresting you for false accusations, slander, and rebellion.

After all, that production factory you just reported to me seems to belong to the same person as well!

So, I might even think that you are trying to make trouble for the Young Noble, and Earl Clark by creating trouble in the city, when the city is already on high alert!”

Those words came crushing down like stones, or bombs upon the heads of the poor nobles. They would have never expected something like this.

After all, all this time they had never seen Young Noble Timothe appear here, not even once. Yet he had bought and was using such property.

They weren’t the only ones though, Young Lady Aura seemed to be surprised as well, as she couldn’t help but say,

“What did you just say, Uncle Darren? How come my brother is related to that place? Why don’t I know about this?”

“With all due respect Young Lady Aura but I have no idea about this. The only thing that I know is that your esteemed brother is one of the owners of this place.

Not only that but he even seems to have hired Master Abyan to work for him in there, and he is planning to make a big wave with this business soon.

If the things that I saw were the real deal, then I can only say that it’s going to cause quite a change in the whole dominion, and perhaps even wider.”

Young Lady Aura couldn’t believe that her dearest brother had kept such a secret from her, while the nobles wanted to know more about the insides, and what was this surprise.

After all, their business and their futures depended on whether they would have to fight with the Young Noble in the market or not.

The way they saw it there were two options for them, they either tried to fight Young Noble Timothe merchantly and supported another heir.

Or they swore their loyalty to him, hoping that he would accept them and treat them well. The second option was even more tempting, thinking that he was going to be the next Earl of the dominion.

It was an opportunity that they would never receive again in their lives, so they could only leave this place and discuss their next plan of action, while Young Lady Aura went to her brother.

Alma didn’t seem to want to stay there for long either, as she came out of the office room, and headed for the factory across the street…
