Volume 7 Chapter 79: There Are Bound To Be Holes

“...” Her words caused Keith and Krystal to frown. They left you alone? That was beyond irresponsible. 

“It was a setup.” That was the only thing it could be. To leave Violet alone when they knew she was ill not even a day ago? Not only that, with all the countless difficulties here, a setup was highly likely. 

“Hah, I see.” Violet froze briefly before sighing, “And here I thought I could get some fresh air.” The woman only wanted to smell the air after waking up. 

“Of course, you can get fresh air, Aunty. Bring me, Krystal, or Sir Winston along if you ever want to come out.” Right now, the three known people that Violet could put faith in were them.

“Alright!” Violet chuckled. 

“Also, we should have our meals in your room from now on,” Krystal added. She didn’t like eating with Rodrick and the others. 

“Indeed. I would like to eat in my room as well.” The three headed into Violet’s room. As the three rested inside, Violet asked, “I take it that your trip around the city was nice, Keith?”

“Mmhmm, it was nice for the most part.” Keith nodded. Krystal added, “We have also found Sterling and the other knights.” 

“How are they?”

“They’re doing fine.”

“Yeah, Aunty, they were even prepared to charge into the duchy to take out Rodrick.” 

“Ah,” Violet scratched her head, “Sterling is still hotheaded.” That was something everyone in the grand duchy knew about. 

“Indeed.” While the three discussed, a knock came from the door. 

“Who is it?”

“It’s Leland, Grand Duchess.” 

“You can enter,” Violet answered, and Leland entered. 

“What do you need?”

“I want to apologize about the incident in front of the mansion. Someone should have been there to watch over you.” The vice-commander bowed.

 

Violet shook her head, “You don’t need to apologize.”

“No, as knights, we should have-” Leland gritted his teeth as he said the last part. There was something else he wanted to speak about.

Krystal realized it as she asked, “Did Dolus have a part in this?” 

“...Yes.” Leland nodded, “Dolus had ordered all the knights not to go check up on you.”

“...” Keith and Krystal frowned. No wonder there was no one to stop them. The merchants had come into the estate. How? Of course, they either stormed in or someone let them in. The second one was definitely the case, as they would be killed if they stormed in. 

“I apologize for everything that had occurred. I noticed too late.” Leland heard about some knights discussing this. Without a second later, he quickly dashed over to do something about it. 

“I take it that you don’t agree with his actions?” Violet questioned.

“Mmhmm.” Leland nodded, “I refuse to have the Rustchil Knights turn into Dolus’s plaything. But it’s difficult with the support he had obtained from Rodrick.” With Rodrick’s support behind him, Dolus had a solid foothold over the commander position.

“I see.” Violet then asked, “How many knights support Dolus?”

“A majority of the knights follow himm.” Leland grimaced. 

“...”

“However, it’s not because they support Dolus’s actions. It’s more like Dolus’s position is forcing them to submit.” Fear and coercion. Dolus could quickly fire them without a thought. That was something that frightened the group. 

“What about the workers living in the duchy?”

“Most of them have been replaced by Rodrick as well. However, the fired ones are still living in the duchy.”

“Thank goodness.” Violet sighed in relief, “Mmhmm. Please give thanks to the people who support me.” 

Violet stated, “I refuse to have Rodrick destroy everything we have.”

“...” Those eyes. The three noticed the fire in her eyes. 

...

“Sister, why did you send all our benefactors to prison?!” Rodrick quickly rushed into her room. That made Keith scoff on the inside. You never checked on your sister’s health but care about the attackers’ health? 

What a bastard.

 

“Hmm, they try to harm me. Is there anything wrong with what I did?”

 

As if the right melody was played, Rodrick suggested, “If your health is still waning, how about someone else takes over. You only regained consciousness not so long ago.”

 

“You’re right.”

 

“…” The grin on Rodrick’s face became even wider. However, Violet turned to Krystal, “Krystal, you will be the interim head for a few days until I recover.”

 

“Sister, how could you ask Krystal to do it?” Rodrick’s wife commented.

 

“What about it? Krystal is the next in line after me and Edmund.”

 

“Understood!” Krystal took the lead with this.

The count family was left there speechless. 

...

“Dammit!” Rodrick flipped out when he heard all of this?!

 

“Patience”

 

“Patience? How could I be patient when everything I have dreamed is going to a brat!” Rodrick’s anger flared up at the person there. However, the person continued to be calm,

 

“This is a blessing in disguise.”

 

“Hmm?”

“A child becoming the interim head. There are bound to be mistakes.”

 

“You’re right! Also, I have my ideas on how to increase it as well.” Rodrick’s eyes changed.

 

“…” Yet, the person’s expression dropped. What are you planning to do? This was worrisome since it was him.

…

While that happened, Carolyn took a deep sigh. Why did he go with Krystal to the duchy? This wasn’t his problem. So why did he have to join in on this? 

“Carolyn?” Carolyn looked up to see Alger.

“Hmm?!”

“What’s the matter with you?” Alger noticed the dark expression she had. The two were out and in a cafe right now. The girl had spaced out. 

 

Alger sighed deeply, “Carolyn, I’m serious.”

 

“Eh?”

“I think you and I are the perfect match for one another.”

 

“…” Carolyn’s cheeks turned red when she heard that. Alger touched her cheeks, but then he noticed her expression.

 

“I’m really serious about you.”

“..."
