Chapter 116

Fjord, "Hmm . . . so even the big pirate fleets are facing losses against those ballistas . No worries we will start using our magicians against them so as to break the bottleneck we are in right now . Tell Grim and Ralph that they can hire and bring Magicians at will for their raids from now on . That count thinks that just because he has one weapon he can win a war? Then he is quite naive . I will make sure he pays for his offense against Laguna house . "

Just now Darius came to the court, A lot of ministers were surprised after watching Darius injured . Duke Fjord also took an opportunity to ask as he thought if there were any problems during the Fleet raids, "Darius, did you get injured and lost your left eye by Morgan family’s men when you were raiding their ships . Did they get aggressive because of all the harassing we did at night? This might be our chance . "

To this Grim came near Duke Fjord and whispered in his ear as he explained the earlier situation to him .

Duke Fjord’s face was pretty scary when he heard about the incident .

There were a lot of gossips being whispered when people saw Darius enter the court with his injured left eye .

One of the bureaucrats whispered, "I heard he lost his left eye when he and his knights tried to raid Henry’s family on Duke’s orders . Henry’s wife was the one who injured him when he tried to take . . . "

The minister of commerce interrupted, "Shh . . . don’t talk this taboo topic, see Duke Fjord’s face, he is already quite scary because there aren’t any good results from the raids on Morgan Family ships . And now he got another humiliating topic by this left eye of Darius, people will talk about this topic whenever they see his eye . Already a lot of people in Laguna town know about this incident . Nowadays Duke is rallying all the lords for men so that he could start a war with that Count in case Duke Sapphire decide to pincer him"

The bureaucrat nodded and spoke in a very small voice, "Yeah, I heard Henry’s wife took her own life instead of getting captured by Darius and his men . Though the Duke’s personal knight order might not show any remorse . A lot of previous mates of Henry are quite enraged because of the petty politics played by Darius and Prince Grim . As for gathering Lords, its obvious that he wants cannon fodder so that he can loot the North-frontier town with minimal losses . "

The minister made a motion on his lips to quiet the bureaucrat down and whispered to him, "Look, be quiet, don’t talk on this topic anymore . This is quite a sensitive time, at least not in front of those knights, they are already vying for power since got an opportunity for a war on land . "

Duke Fjord roared as he heard Grim, "Damn this whole family of traitors . Haven’t we faced enough humiliation? Look for that Demon brat of that traitor as well . And try looking for that traitor’s father in law . As for you Darius, Can’t you handle a mere woman and child? You should be ashamed to lose an eye to that woman with so many of our men around . Initially, I thought you had lost an eye because of Morgan family’s men . "

One of the knights whispered to his mates, "I don’t think we could find Lucy’s father as he has been wandering for years now after Lucy ran off with Henry and married him . "

The other guy spoke, "Whatever . Let the duke keep his face . Don’t mention it loudly over here . "

Meanwhile, Eric was having headaches as he complained, "Damn, these pirates just won’t stop coming . I guess they are quite greedy for these ballistas to rule the seas after watching its power . Even that Shannon of Duke Fjord’s naval fleet was salivating for these cannons after facing defeat . "
