Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 147 Mysterious Man

Although what Stannis said was not alarmist, Pedro still didn't take it seriously, and he could only sip his wine with a haughty expression.

"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency Justin. Although you said this, we really don't have the extra energy to deal with what happened in your territory. Please forgive me." Although the words were very polite, Garcia's eighth son did not There is no doubt that he hit a soft nail.

But Stannis couldn't care less, he only knew that he and his territory were in danger, and he couldn't let the dismemberment happen again.He raised his tone and said forcefully: "Your Excellency Pedro, please send troops to help no matter what, otherwise thousands of lives in my territory are at stake, not only me, but the entire eastern region will face disaster!"

There is undoubtedly a threatening element in his words, which shows that he is not alone, and he has the support of the Eastern Realm behind him.

It's a pity that this sentence didn't work, but instead annoyed the mighty Acting Duke. The Garcia family never allowed anyone to be above them!
"Your Excellency Justin! I know that your strength is growing recently, but don't forget that our Garcia family is the master of the Principality of Tanis, and it's not your turn to speak here!"

Like a beast protecting food, Pedro's words made Stannis fearful. He knew that it was not time to tear his face apart, although the Garcia family had already made a series of small actions against him.At the same time, it also caused [-] points of critical damage to Stannis' heart. He finally clearly understood how insignificant his status and his words were.

"Don't you really want to see all the people you rule die and turn into monsters before you send troops!" Stannis finally said unwillingly.

But these words did not move the hard-hearted Acting Duke at all. On the contrary, Pedro showed a disdainful smile.

"Your Excellency Justin, I really can't see that you love the people so much, but, is there anyone who will be sad for the disappearance of the grass?"

These words were spoken so coldly that not only did Stannis shudder down his spine, he finally realized that in the eyes of the powerful, those commoners were not even human at all.

And this attitude of ignoring everything brought anger, Stannisten stood up, his tone was full of presumptuousness, "Since the words are not speculative, then this is all I have to say, I have nothing more to say, Farewell!"

After that, Stannis no longer cared about etiquette, and turned and left directly.

After a while, Pedro, who was sitting in the room, stood up and walked slowly to the window sill, from which he could see the street adjacent to the mansion, while Stannis was walking down the stairs vigorously.

"This guy is really not a qualified politician as you said, and he really won't hide his thoughts."

Of course Pedro was not talking to himself. At this moment, the door of the inner room opened, and there was a person sitting there. This person had undoubtedly heard the argument between the two just now.

"Yeah, he's still the same, putting everything on his face." The mysterious man also replied.

Pedro turned around, with a trace of viciousness on his expressionless face, "I don't know why you didn't let me kill him! Squeezing him to death is not much more difficult than crushing an ant."

The mysterious man was silent for a long time, 'Kill Stannis? 'This idea has appeared more than ten thousand times!

Pedro continued: "If you can't do it, I'm happy to help. As long as you nod your head, I guarantee that he will never walk ten steps alive!"

Suddenly, the mysterious man became furious, "It's not up to you to teach me what I want to do! Pedro, you'd better remember what you are! Without me, how could you be the most desirable heir of the next Duke?" ! Without me, you're just a superfluous person that old Garcia wouldn't even look at!"

Sir Pedro, who was still aloof and invincible, suddenly shrank into a ball. In front of this terrifying person, he could only tremble like a kitten.

"Remember, if there is any problem with Stannis in Tist City, I will instantly beat you back to your original form, the eighth son of the Duke who no one cares about! This is worse than death for you!"

Pedro's knees softened and he knelt down. He knew that he could only be manipulated by others, and he had no room for resistance.

At this time, Stannis downstairs came out of the archway of the dome holding his stomach full of anger. He did not expect the Duke to be so disregarding the lives of the people below.When those damned Chaos people surround this magnificent building in black, see what nonsense these high-ranking nobles will say!
But no matter how much he cursed, it was useless. Stannis could only save himself. Didn't he know that his allies believed in the existence of those monsters and sent troops to support them?

He walked down the stairs and found a carriage parked under the steps, besides the guard and the groom, there was a familiar figure standing there.

It was Lina, the personal maid of his fiancée Anista. Since she stood there, it meant that her fiancée had also come to the Duke's mansion.Anne was not in the carriage, and the personal bodyguard Damian who had always looked bad at him was also not there. Could it be that he followed her in too?

Stannis originally wanted to go up to say hello, but when he thought about what Lina had said to him, the lord felt that it was better to keep a distance from her, so as not to be scorned again.

He walked down by leaning on the handrail, and found that his younger brother, who had slipped away early, was hiding under the shade of a tree on the other side of the avenue and looking here. It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time, but what was more eye-catching was the fact that he had so many hands on his hands. There are a few skewers, and they are feasting there.

Robert also saw him, raised the iron skewer in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Boss, here!"

Stannis walked over and looked at the skewer in his hand, but he really couldn't tell what the dark thing with a small tail was.

"Grilled lizards, it's delicious. I was wandering over there just now, and some chef from the Marquis's family secretly sold me the leftover grilled lizards from last night's banquet."

Stannis felt a little disgusted looking at these reptiles, "Those high nobles also eat this thing!"

"Isn't it!" Robert ate the lizard in three bites. "What do you think those nobles eat? Dragon meat! Come and taste a few, these golden lizard cubs are very nourishing, and they are said to be able to strengthen yang!"

Stannis reluctantly ate one, not to mention, he was so hungry that he really thought these skewers were really delicious.
