Chapter 17 Marquis Residence
"Dylan Baikasi, Marquis of Hedley Empire, he is in Yate City now."
Based on the family crests on those knights, Delly easily judged that these knights were all members of the Baikasi family.
Following Ryan's request, Delly also told Ryan about the family.
Listening to Delly's story, Ryan couldn't help but wonder:
"He is a marquis. If he doesn't stay in his own fief, why would he live in Yate City? Yate City is more comfortable than his own fief?"
"No."
Delly shook her head and said: "This guy is a complete slave to his daughter. Because his daughter is studying at Alcott College, he settled directly in Art City."
"I see……"
Ryan nodded, and now Ryan has also guessed that it was probably the daughter of the Baixi family who told his father about Ninelli's private collection of forbidden books, which led to the current situation.
Should I say that he really deserves to be a marquis? After hearing only one-sided remarks, they began to search the Aki family's mansion indiscriminately.
That's all, the most disgusting thing is that the group of knights behave like ruffians, relying on others' power.
"That knight captain is the cousin of Marquis Dylan, and he led the knights to do a lot of bullying in Art City.
Duke Alcott also warned him several times. He did restrain himself a lot at first, but then he began to exploit loopholes again, leaving Duke Alcott unable to do anything. "
"Where is the position of the Baikasi family?"
After listening to Delly's description, Ryan asked lightly.
Delly did not answer directly, but asked seriously:
"Mr. Lane, I know you may have some unknown identity and background, but are you really sure when facing a marquis?"
"Dealing with the Marquis is indeed a bit trickier."
With that said, Ryan looked towards Nenelli's room.
After being searched by the group of knights, Ninelli's room had become messy. At this time, Daisy was accompanying Ninelli to clean up the room.
Thinking of Nenelli's confused and helpless expression, Ryan said lightly:
"But, this matter cannot be revealed just like that."
? ? ? ?
When night falls, everything is silent.
Ryan rode his skinny horse through the streets of Art City.
Looking into the distance, I saw that in the darkness, there was only a magnificent mansion with bright lights.
This is the residence of Marquis Dylan Baikasi.
It is true that there is no such thing as electric light in this era. These lighting objects are magic stones that carry the magic power of magicians, and civilians must not be able to use them.
The Marquis and the Duke were both pillars of an empire, so even if they fell out, they would still have to deal with it with restraint.
However, most marquises usually enjoy themselves in their own fiefs. The Baikasi family is probably the first marquis to come to the duke's fiefdoms to show off.
At this time, the guard at the gate of the Marquis Mansion was drowsy with his spear in his hand.
This is understandable, after all, no one would think twice about causing trouble for the Marquis. If the guards are too competent, they will appear redundant.
——This only applies to the Hedley Empire.
The knights under a marquis like this are used to bully civilians and lack formal training. When a war breaks out, they will run far away and be of no use at all.
This is actually the case for most nobles. Everyone's knights are weak anyway. As a Marquis, it's enough that my knights are a little stronger than you.
In comparison, the guards left by Count Horace to Ninelli were not only well-trained, they were even called elite.
Even if Ryan doesn't take action against these worms in the empire, they will have to be cleaned out sooner or later when the eldest prince comes to power.
After stroking the hilt of the sword on his waist, Ryan lifted the reins and rode his horse slowly to the front door of the Marquis Mansion.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the originally sleepy guard widened his eyes and hurriedly raised his spear:
"who?!"
Ryan stopped his horse and said calmly to the guard:
"I want to see the Marquis of Baikasi, please help me convey this."
Meet the Marquis of Cassi?
The guard was stunned for a moment and looked at Ryan up and down.
Wearing something like a butler's uniform, judging from his temperament, he seems to be a really big shot.
Therefore, the guard's expression became much more respectful:
"If you dare to ask your lord's name, I can report it conveniently. After all, not everyone can see the Marquis."
So complicated……
To be honest, Ryan really wanted to pull out his sword and fight through the door to Marquis Baikasi.
But this would be too ostentatious and not helpful to Ryan's current situation.
After thinking about it, Ryan said to the guard:
"Just say it's Duke Alcott's, go and report it!"
"Yes!"
As soon as they heard that it was Duke Alcott's person, the guards did not dare to neglect. They did not even dare to ask for the family crest, and hurriedly ran to report it.
After all, what lunatic would dare pretend to be Duke Alcott's man? Are you coming to visit the Marquis of Baikasi?
I'm afraid you don't even know how to write the word "death"!
Soon, the guard trotted back and said respectfully to Ryan: "Sir, the Marquis is waiting for you at the mansion."
Ryan nodded slightly and stepped into the door of the mansion.
Passing through the yard, Ryan walked into the mansion and saw that the interior decoration of the mansion was even more magnificent than the outside. Countless magic stones were inlaid on the walls, making the interior of the mansion as bright as day.
Ryan dared to say that none of Duke Alcott's mansions were so luxurious.
"Hello, sir!"
Marquis Dylan is a tall and thin middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious clothes and with an exaggerated beard on his face. He has a very aristocratic temperament.
Seeing Ryan, Dylan first stood up with a smile to greet him, and then asked:
"Sir, I seem to have never seen a number one person like you around the Duke. Oh, forgive me for being rude. After all, your black hair and black eyes attract too much attention. If I had seen you, I would definitely give it to me. Leave a very lasting memory.”
"No, you are right. There is indeed no number one person like me around Alcott."
Ryan looked at Dylan and said with a faint smile:
"Because I'm not Alcott at all."
After the words fell, Dylan's pupils shrank sharply, he quickly stepped back and waved his right hand.
"Chong-"
The knight guarding Dylan suddenly drew his sword and pointed it directly at Ryan!
? ? ? ?
Inside the Aki family's mansion.
Nunnally huddled in the small room she had just finished cleaning, holding the Saye Orchid given to her by Ryan in her hand.
At this time, under the moonlight, every petal of this gauze orchid was covered with a light yellow glow.
Looking at Sayelan, a sweet smile gradually appeared on Nenali's face. It was very cute, but unfortunately no one could see it.
At this moment, she had the innocent expression that a nine-year-old girl should have.
"really beautiful……"
