Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 177

A kidnapping case in a duck farm caused a stir in Attis. People working on the farm were kidnapped one by one in a row.

The residents firmly believed that it was the bandits who caused it. At that time, bandits were common, and the farm was very close to the mountain range.

“But the Nortons were the ones who instigated the kidnapping? Even selling the people as slaves to other countries?”

“Of course, I knew from the beginning that they were greedy people, but…”

But it was hard to believe they would use the lives of residents as a means of earning money.

“Crazy people! Burn them to death!”

“We served that kind of thing as a Lord of the land!”

The residents, who had heard the whole matter from the Black Falcons, finally knew that the Nortons were behind the crime and were furious.

“But who are you?”

It was then a middle-aged man questioned the knights in black uniforms. A cold voice interrupted the residents’ noisy murmur.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t burn them, but…”

It wasn’t a particularly loud voice. But every word from the voice, deeply penetrated the eardrums.

“You don’t have to worry about it, since we’ve dealt with them and made them suffer a similar amount of pain.”

The surprised people turned their heads at the same time.

Lloyd passed them, wiping the blood from his cheeks. No, he was trying to pass by.

If only Mrs. Palmer hadn’t cried out in a thrilling voice over his back, perhaps she had just realized it.

“Aahh, that’s why. You and your wife have come a long way to investigate Attis!”

He doesn’t know why such an absurd conclusion was reached.

People flocked to Lloyd’s surroundings as soon as they heard that, with faces that they realized it too late.

This was possible because they did not yet know that Lloyd and his knights were from Valentine. It was also because they were still friendly with Aria and Lloyd.

“By the way, I heard it once while passing by. In order to punish corrupt officials, His Majesty’s most trusted servants are sent disguised as commoners.”

“Gasp, then, by His Majesty’s orders?”

There’s no way the Emperor would order such a thing by himself.

Lloyd, who stood as expressionless as a sculpture among the crowd, added a blunt word.

“It’s my decision.”

“Are you saying that you arbitrarily investigated the Lord’s corruption? If so, then you are like a hero.

“It’s not like that, there was something to investigate, so I just dealt with it all at once.”

“You’re talking so insignificantly! So you’ve done such good deeds more than once or twice? I see. You are a representation of noblesse oblige…”

This conversation is going nowhere.

‘It’s an investigation…….’

They thought of Lloyd as a knight of justice who could not stand some injustice.

In the end, it did happen.

‘If I reveal that we’re Valentine, they’ll faint.’

After making an annoyed face for a moment, he turned to Aria. Perhaps it was nice to see Lloyd be recognized by people, she was showing a happy smile.
