Come to another world and become a lord

Entering the secret passage again, Carl and Alia, along with the three Fire Rose sisters, were armed with torches. According to what Elsa said, the five people had been hiding in a natural cave connected to the secret passage after kidnapping Myrna. It was said that it was a smuggling passage in the early years. Later, it was accidentally opened when Philip was building an escape passage.

In fact, the arrest went more smoothly than Carl had imagined. They soon found the hiding place of the enemy, and Milna was indeed among them. She was tied up and sat on the ground, with a rag stuffed in her mouth, but her eyes still maintained the arrogance of a young lady. Carl even couldn't help but think that the gangsters must have been scolded before they blocked her mouth.

Then the Fire Rose guards quietly went around to the rear and deployed in place. With Alia's order, they rushed out at lightning speed. The bandits were thrown into disarray by the sudden attack and hastily drew their weapons to fight. A melee unfolded in the narrow secret passage, with swords clashing and the sound of metal collisions echoing between the stone walls. The two sides engaged in a fierce fight, but they were almost vulnerable to the highly skilled Fire Rose guards and Alia. They were all agile and shuttled across the battlefield, and each of their attacks was accurate and fatal. With screams, the five bandits fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the battle ended instantly.

After untying Myrna, the girl threw herself into Alia's arms, and then looked at Carl with dissatisfaction:

"You took so long to come. Do you know how many days it has been? You are such a useless man!"

But Karl was already accustomed to her attitude. He just shook his head without making any rebuttal.

After returning to the castle, Prime Minister Aaron showed a rare smile on his face, while Morton, although the latter was also smiling for the sake of face, in Karl's opinion, that smile was uglier than crying. He saw Myrna threw herself into Aaron's arms, and then complained in dissatisfaction, while Aaron coaxed the girl like a child.

After a few minutes of this, Aaron finally raised his head and looked at him approvingly, saying:

"That is the end of the matter. Well done, Baron."

"Hmph, the efficiency is so low. It's been several days now, and it can be considered a good job?" Milna complained quietly to the side, but she was just talking to herself in a low voice.

However, this sentence was still heard clearly by everyone present. Aaron stroked his daughter's head and said earnestly:

"Hey~ After all, he is your savior~ Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard~"

So it's just hard work? Karl thought to himself.

Then Aaron said:

"Anyway you did a great job, I'll remember it."

Then I heard Myrna say:

"Well, since you saved me, I will allow Master to stay with you for a while. But don't be complacent, kid. If you do anything bad to Master, I will come and settle the score with you."

Hearing the girl's slightly threatening words, Karl smiled helplessly again, as if the bad impression he had left in the young lady's heart had already taken root. But no matter what, the matter was resolved smoothly, and her attitude towards him was somewhat relaxed. The most important thing was that Morton's conspiracy had completely failed.

He turned to look at Morton, wanting to admire his frustrated look. But he saw the latter showing a strange smile, and then said unexpectedly:

"But, Lord Prime Minister, Baron Karl, have we all forgotten one thing?"

"What?" Carl raised his head alertly and looked at Morton.

The latter just smiled and continued:

"Although Miss Myrna has been rescued, the criminal who planned her kidnapping has not yet received the punishment he deserves. Am I right, Prime Minister?"

"Yeah~" Aaron nodded in agreement, and then shouted, "Bring the prisoners up!"

Then a scene that surprised Carl happened. Two guards belonging to Prime Minister Aaron escorted Aisha to the meeting room.

"Ah~~" After seeing Aisha, Myrna in Aaron's arms also jumped up and shouted, "I remember you, you are the maid who brought the midnight snack and used such a despicable method~ You really deserve to die!"

As Myrna screamed, everyone's eyes were focused on Aisha. He saw that the woman looked haggard, and she kept twisting and struggling. When she saw him, she immediately cast a begging look at him:

"Sir, sir! Save me!"

What made Carl even more unbelievable was that following behind him was actually Rickburg's original dungeon guard.

"What's going on? Who agreed to let them bring the people here?" When the local dungeon guards walked past Carl timidly, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

“But…but they are the Prime Minister’s men…” The guards were obviously at a loss under Carl’s questioning.

"So what? Who is the real lord of Rickburg?"

After hearing these words, several people suddenly realized the problem and immediately lowered their heads in fear, not daring to look at Carl anymore.

At this moment, the voice of Prime Minister Aaron sounded again:

"Baron, are you dissatisfied?"

After hearing Aaron's words, Carl did not get nervous. He just bowed slightly and said:

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have no intention of offending you, but as the current Lord of Rickburg and the person in charge of investigating this case, it seems a little inappropriate for you to bring the prisoner in my cell here without telling me, right?"

Aaron said slowly:

"Baron, I don't mean to interfere in Rickburg's affairs, but I heard from Morton that you plan to pardon the main culprit of the kidnapping case. This seems a bit inappropriate."

"What? You're planning to let her go!" After hearing this, Myrna couldn't sit still anymore. She first looked at Carl in surprise, and then glared at Aisha with anger. "She kidnapped me, and you actually want to let her go? I helped you so much before! Do you have any conscience?"

"In my opinion, our Baron is a little reluctant to let go of the other person because she is so beautiful~" Morton did not forget to add fuel to the fire at this time.

Just because of Morton's provocation, Milna's anger instantly rose again. She snorted coldly and said:

"Humph, I knew you were no good! Not only must this woman be executed, but she can't die too easily! Is there any less painful way to execute her?"

At this moment, Aeron, who had been standing beside Morton in silence, suddenly took a step forward, bowed and said:

"I do know a method of execution: cutting off the prisoner's flesh bit by bit until the prisoner is completely dead. This is a method used by most gangs in the North to deal with internal traitors. They usually start with the most sensitive and important organs. The whole process is slow and painful."

Isn't this the ancient method of slow execution? He even pointed out the gang's method of dealing with traitors. It seems that this guy Iren wants to use Myrna to deal with traitors. Carl complained in his heart. On the other hand, Aisha was obviously scared after hearing Iren's description. Her legs began to tremble constantly, and her face showed uncontrollable fear.

And Myrna seemed very satisfied after hearing Iren's description:

"Well, very good~ I like this method of execution, let's do it this way!"

"No, don't!" After hearing what Myrna said, Aisha almost collapsed. Her face was covered with tears. She shook her head desperately and looked at Karl again with hopeful eyes:

"Sir, you promised me, you promised not to kill me!"

"What a joke! You kidnapped me and you still think you can survive?" At this time, Milna also yelled.

"Sir, you promised, you must keep your promise!" But Aisha did not stop and continued to cry to Carl.

"Enough! Shut up!" At this time, Myrna had already walked in front of Aisha and waved her hand to hit her, but suddenly she saw Carl had already taken the lead and blocked her way.

"What are you going to do?" She looked at Karl in surprise, finding it a little hard to believe his actions.

"I'm sorry, but I promised her to save her life." Karl bowed first, then said in a calm and emotionless tone.

Myrna's eyes widened even more:

"What? So, you're going to go against me?"

"I have to keep my promise," he replied.
