10 Chapter 10: Earl Garen De York

As Kraftvoll and the others entered the manor that the Earl of Yorkshire owned, Kraftvoll was left in awe as he saw the luxurious hall of Earl Garen's manor. All the maidservants and butlers of the York Clan are lined up bowing as they walked to the inner part of the manor.

"Make yourself home, brother Blaire." Earl Garen said while smiling pleasantly.

"I appreciate the thought, but I have to go immediately to the royal capital. I've been summoned by His Majesty, the King, you see. But I visited you here to urgently discuss something."

"So you've been summoned by His Majesty, the King because of this child that has an affinity to all elements, huh. So what brings you here, brother Blaire?"

Earl Blaire explained everything to the Earl of Yorkshire City what had transpired in the Valkyrie Forest to them because he wanted to avenge his subordinates that had fallen in the hands of the suspected band of bandits.

This is one of the reasons why the Earl of Schild city was loved by those who are governed by him. He cared so much about his men to the point that they are willing to fight for him in exchange for their lives.

"As far as I know, there are indeed various of the band of bandits lurking in the forest but there is no band of bandits big enough to engage in that scale of the attack that you described." Earl Garen replied.

"So maybe this was a planned attacked? But no one has the audaciousness to attack a carriage under my name. This can't be done by any ordinary bands of bandits." Earl Blaire speculated.

Ordinary bands of bandits will be scared as soon as they saw that the carriage has the crest of the Schild clan, one of the most powerful families of the Walkiria Kingdom. So it's only normal for Earl Blaire to speculate this scenario.

"Brother, do you think the news already reached them? It's only been months since it transpired, right?" Earl Garen wondered.

"We will know in the future, brother Garen. By the way, can you please do me a favor?" Earl Blaire's face started to get more serious.

"Pray tell, brother."

"Can you please investigate this matter immediately on my behalf? My men have died fighting for my name and I really want to avenge them, But since I have been summoned by His Majesty, I must prioritize it above all else. All of us know His Majesty's temper regarding this type of thing, we can't afford to anger His Majesty."

"I understand brother. I will do my best to investigate this. You can continue your journey to the Feuersturm Castle without a worry in your heart."

The Earls of Schild City and Yorkshire City was known across the whole kingdom as close friends. This was probably because both of them are the rulers of two territories in the front line, they can always rely on watching each other's back when a disaster arise. More importantly, they are comrades back in the days.

"Thank you, brother Garen! I owe you this one. Let me repay this great favor next time. I will be on my way, I hope you good luck with the investigation."

The Earl of Schild was delighted, but normally he would not do something like requesting a favor from others. But for the sake of avenging the deaths of his men, he was willing to forget his ego and search for justice right away.

"And good luck to you too, brother. I hope you have a safe journey especially you have this kid, our kingdom's hope."

After Earl Blaire talked with the Earl of Yorkshire City, they continued their journey to the royal capital, Stolz City. The Earl was really on the haste because he truly knows the king's temper in these kinds of things. The King was known for punishing people for just a little offense. Also, it was so hard for the Schild clan to go against the Stolz royal family who had a Majestic Seishin Demigod expert in its arsenal.
