Chapter 27.1: Super Sensory (1)

His mind turned white.

Colton tried to understand this baffling situation.

Laika was lying face down with his head bowed on the floor beside him, motionless.

What the hell did he just say?

Lord?

Who the hell was that guy?

He wanted to believe that he had heard it wrong, but the situation unfolding in front of him clearly denied it.

The Seventh Lord sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and looked around at the people in the hall.

The knights who had brought him and stood proudly were also frozen and unable to breathe.

In time, Colton also gradually became contemplative.

In the suffocating silence, it didn’t take long for him to come to terms with what he had done.

The new owner of the seat of the Seventh Lord, who had been talked about all over Calderic recently.

..The Seventh Lord was the man in front of him.

Baros carefully looked at the Seventh Lord and asked.

“By the way, why are you here with the mayor of Wilpeck, administrator?”

It was a tone full of pressure, as if he wanted Laika to prove his innocence.

If you couldn’t do that, it wouldn’t be strange if your neck fell off right here.

Laika felt fear and dread creeping through his body, swallowed his saliva in one gulp, and stuttered his mouth open.

“I was visiting the cities of the Fifth Lord one after the other for a related administrative matter. The reason I stayed with the mayor was because I had a personal relationship with him.. He said he would bring those who insulted his daughter back to the mansion to resolve the situation. I followed him out of curiosity to observe. I never dared to imagine that you would be in this city. I am sorry.”

In fact, Laika felt really unfair. The situation was equally confusing.

For him, who was enjoying a brief retreat in Wilpeck, the situation came as a whirlwind. No, it wasn’t even a lightning bolt; it was a disaster.

It was only because he knew the face of the Seventh Lord that he could act quickly with his survival instinct as soon as he saw them.

How could he have imagined that the Seventh Lord had left his territory and were in this city out of nowhere, and that he was the one who had a quarrel with the daughter of the mayor?

Of course, he couldn’t ask the Seventh Lord, so there was only one thing Laika could do. He prostrated himself so that sparks would not fly to him.

Baros said, frowning.

“Anyway, didn’t you just watch the situation and try to enjoy it as a game?”

“That, that’s..”

Cold sweat broke out on Laika’s back.

“No.. is this.. uh..?”

Meanwhile, Denbri, who was still muttering with a puzzled expression, turned to Colton.

Baros’ gaze turned to those two this time.

Because the Lord had decided to just mercifully do nothing, he had no choice but to watch that stupid girl walked away scathe free from the restaurant.

But she even dared to call the knights to this place even though the Lord had already given her one leniency?

“Mayor, will you continue to stand like that?”

Colton, who suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Denbri by the shoulders and knelt on the floor.

The biggest crisis came to the mayor’s life, which had suffered little for over 20 years.

Denbri, who was forced to kneel with him, reflexively frowned. She had never been on her knees since she was born.

She was completely taken aback, and when she saw Colton’s expression, she shut her mouth.

“My apologies.. Seventh Lord.”

The Seventh Lord tilted his head to the side.

“I thought you called me here to tell me something, but what are you doing on your knees?”

“I’m sorry. I dared not know the great One and committed great disrespect.”

“Tsk.”

The voice of the Seventh Lord grew even colder.

“I told you to tell me why you called me. Are you going to keep doing that like a parrot?”historical

Colton bit his lip hard.

What could he say? Could he say that he was going to make the arrogant guy who dared to scorn her daughter pay for his crimes?

The other already knew everything, but the Lord was making him spit it out of his mouth himself.

Dead.

He’s really dead.

The family could perish right here and now. Even if the Seventh Lord tried to do so, no one could stop him.

What about the Fifth Lord when she heard about this later? Would she be furious that he had wreaked havoc in her territory and killed the mayor?

No, even if she heard the circumstances, she wouldn’t care.

In Calderic, a Lord was such a being.

No one but the same Lord dared to look at them at eye level, and if you tried to climb, they would trample you to death like an insect, no matter how high of a position you might hold.

Colton slammed his head on the floor instead of answering. Not just once, but repeatedly.

“I have committed a mortal sin!”

Bang bang!

Looking at Colton, who was constantly banging his head with his forehead shattered and blood flowing from it, Denbri, who was next to him, shuddered.

It was because it was only then that she realized the seriousness of the situation when she saw her father, who did not differ from an emperor in Wilpeck, act like this.

No matter how much she lived like no one could stop her, she knew what the status of a Lord meant in Calderic.

“Mayor, please stop. You dare in front of the Lord..”

Baros narrowed his eyes. He immediately cut off the mayor’s words and stepped back.

“Mayor.”

“..”

“This is the third time. Explain why you called me here.”
