Chapter 151 Meeting is a Slap
Baron Omar had not slept all night, staying in the study, his eyes fixed on the door, waiting for the bandit's information.
Even if he felt a bit drowsy, he forced himself to stay awake. The success or failure of the bandits could determine his ability to return to his father and compete for the title of Earl.
He didn't want to be just a baron in this remote place, spending his days in the estate with no place even for a simple gathering.
His friends were all inland, a journey of seven or eight days from the western lands, let alone the Royal City.
The guests at the gathering were all nobles, and they had to be the tasteful ones, not like the nobles from the western lands.
"Just wait, when I return to my father, I will make you all regret it for persuading him to assign me here." Baron Omar murmured.
Baron Omar looked at the flickering candlelight, gritting his teeth, continuing, "When I inherit the title of Earl, I will have all of you sent here, and each of you will have to pay a tribute of one hundred gold coins a year."
One hundred gold coins, the annual profit of a baron's estate, he was playing with the lives of his half-siblings.
In his excitement, Baron Omar let out a strange laugh, sending a shiver down the knight's spine who was guarding outside the door.
Baron Omar would often indulge in his fantasies of becoming an Earl.
During this time, no one could disturb him in his fantasies, or even his trusted confidant would be punished, and he didn't want to experience those punishments again.
"I hope this fantasy will be over soon." The knight sighed softly.
Otherwise, Baron Omar, lost in his fantasies, could be terrifying. Who knew, he might try to satisfy his craving for being an Earl by beheading a few people.
"Everything will be mine, mine! Who dares to disobey my orders? Bring them here, and behead them!"
Omar's shouting came from the study, making the knight roll his eyes. He felt that Omar could become a novelist, writing a book called 'The Life Quotes of Baron Omar', and then performing a play about it in the stage of the Royal City. That would be the killer move to attract other noble ladies, maybe even Scarlett's favor.
Then, he could also be ennobled, right? Even if it's the lowest baron, he would be willing.
Well, the knight outside the door also fell into his own fantasies, imagining that after becoming a noble, he would marry several concubines and collect how much tax.
Fantasy was inevitable, there were no entertainment projects in this era, the only thing was to make love, there is nothing except for this.
Of course, one could see a stage play in the Royal City, which wasn't available everywhere, only in those bustling big cities like Hyratos.
So the nobles would be bored and fall into their fantasies without entertainment, and over time, they will become a bit neurotic, which was already considered a mental illness.
In the study, Baron Omar sat in his chair, panting heavily, a hint of satisfaction on his face, his eyes a little dazed.
"I am Earl Omar..." Baron Omar muttered unconsciously, his eyes slowly focusing, gradually breaking free from his fantasies.
After sitting still for a few minutes, Baron Omar stood up to the window and looked at the sky outside, estimating the time of dawn.
"It's almost time, they should be near Solanis." Baron Omar said excitedly.
He could imagine the surprised look on everyone's face when he appeared in front of his father with five hundred gold coins.
His father would definitely pass the title of Earl to him, not to his few useless brothers who only knew how to flatter.
A small sound caught Baron Omar's attention, he looked down and immediately saw a pair of eyeballs, and shouted in horror, "Help! Knight..."
Leo exerted force with his arm, rushing into the study from outside the window, and slapped Baron Omar's mouth, preventing him from speaking.
Then he knocked out the terrified Baron Omar by palm and gently placed him on the floor, his eyes fixed on the study door, a military knife already in his hand.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... there was no response from outside the door, which made Leo breathe a sigh of relief. He thought he would be exposed, and then he would have to fight his way out of the castle.
Leo didn't expect that he happened to be climbing the castle wall, planning to sneak into the study, but he encountered the target character coming to the window.
"It seems that tonight's mistake also need to be written in the report." Leo's eyes swept around, observing the traces.
Quietly, he came to the desk, gently pulled open the drawer, and soon found a money bag, which he opened and was stunned to find many gold and silver coins inside.
"Henry will be very happy when he sees it, right? Our reward will not be small, it is a big harvest." Leo put the money bag into his pocket and found several gemstone rings in another drawer.
Leo was not greedy, then he wrapped the target character in a sack, carried it to the window, tied it with a rope, and slowly lowered it outside, where there were three members of the War Wolf Battle Squad waiting.
When he felt the rope shake a few times, Leo turned over and slowly climbed down the wall. They were carrying Baron Omar and secretly sneaked out of the castle, arriving at a small forest outside Solanis.
"It's almost dawn, let's hurry, and arrive in Hyratos before noon." Leo said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
They changed to another warhorse and galloped away with Baron Omar, leaving behind the silent Solanis.
Outside the study in the castle, the knight on guard yawned, not at all concerned about Baron Omar's shouting. This was the terrible habit.
When he found that Baron Omar was missing, it was probably already dawn and was too late to catch up.
