Chapter 217
“What was that?”
“That’s what it is in the Appenzeller.”
In response to Ming Hu’s question, Mas suddenly flinched and stopped speaking, then looked at Ming Hu with a troubled expression.
“…?”
Ming Hu was puzzled by Mas’s reaction. He suddenly didn’t understand why she was reacting the way she was.
‘You can’t be… You think he’s an Arpen?
Mas considered himself a Baron of Veron. He could certainly consider himself a Baron of Appen.
“Don’t worry, I’m not even an Appen author.”
“Hehe, okay.”
As expected, Masu wondered if Minghu was an Apen self-made man. He was thinking to himself. At Ming Hu’s words, Mas opened his mouth to speak.
“According to my research… Viscount Appen has been sending assassins to Baron Magnus on a regular basis.”
“…What? Why?”
“I think that’s what they did to absorb Baron Magnus from Viscount Appen.”
“Absorption? Viscount Appen to Baron Magnus?”
Mas nodded at Ming Hu’s words and continued.
“Yes, Viscount Appen is absorbing Baron Magnus and seeking promotion to Count. He’s done this before, from Baron to Viscount. I’m sure.”
“Assassination…
This was good information that I hadn’t thought of.
“This can’t be the end.
Sending an assassin wouldn’t be the end of it; there had to be something else up his sleeve.
“Anyway, having learned that Viscount Appen is sending assassins, Baron Magnus, or rather, Baron Veron, is using it against them and preparing to start a turf war to absorb Viscount Appen. In other words, the two houses are now trying to absorb each other… and sooner or later, there will be a turf war, led by Baron Veron.”
