A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 7 Chapter 78: Lock Them All Up!

"Keith?!" Krystal blinked. You agree with them?! 

"Stuff like this is something you have to fight on." Keith agreed with Sterling and the knights's decision. Rodrick was someone who couldn't be left unchecked. They left him alone for a few months, and he turned the duchy upside down! 

"A person like that should be dealt with," 

"Good man! So you get us!" Sterling slapped him in the back!

"However, this is not the time for you to do it." 

"Eh?"

Keith added, "You'll put Aunty Violet in a worse position." Attacking now that Violet, the interim head, had returned was just asking for trouble. Rodrick would definitely use this to his advantage. 

"The best thing to do in this situation is to hold back." 

"Ugh." Sterling and the other knights turned wry. 

"You guys can attack once everything is cleared up." Once Violet had everything cleared up, they could probably get their revenge.

"Yeah!" Sterling and the other knights brightened. Getting revenge was good in their book. 

"..." Krystal watched the knights shouting around Keith. What am I going to do?

"Did you have to say everything like that?" The two had now left the knights. Since they had found them, it was time to report it back to Violet and Winston. 

 

"But it's true." Keith shrugged, "Guys like that need to be put down with force."

 

"..."

"Hah, you're soft." Keith patted the girl. That caused the girl to stare, "What are you doing?!"

"Nothing. Also, I take it that Sterling and those knights are like family to you?" Sterling and the knight's interaction with Krystal differed from what he saw from others. 

"Mmhmm. Sterling and the others had been teaching me when I was a child. While my father had work, they would be the ones to watch over me." A rare smile appeared on Krystal's face, "They're kinda like my uncles. Well, better ones."

Keith chuckled, "That's the same for me." Michael and the other knights were like family to him.

Krystal took a deep breath, "That's why we need to get Rodrick and the others out of here before things get out of hand."

"Mmhmm." Keith nodded. As the two continued onwards to the duchy,

"We demand our coins!"

"Duchess! What are you going to do about this?!"

"How can the Rustchil household not uphold the end of their deal?!"

"..." Keith and Krystal quickly ran over without a thought. There, the two saw Violet in a wheelchair. But she was surrounded by a group of people.

"Mother!" Krystal roared as she pushed the people away. And she went to cover her. Then she glared at everyone there, "What are you doing?!"

The merchants scoffed, "We're only here to ask for our coins, young miss."

"Eh?"

"For our merchant houses to be here, we made a deal with the duchy."

"What?! When have we owed you coins?!" Krystal was startled. Never did she hear about this. And she wasn't the only one as Violet frowned, "We have never made such a deal with you all."

"You never made a deal?"

"You're just playing wolf!"

"Pay up!" Before the merchants could rile up even more,

Bamm! No one had expected this; Keith had slammed one of the merchants to the floor! 

"Lock them all up!"

 

"What?!"

 

"You dare lock us up?!"

 

The merchants were baffled by Keith's words. Heck! Even Violet and Krystal were slightly startled when she heard that.

"How dare you storm into the estate and reprimand the grand duchess! She was already sick, and you are trying to stick the last knife in her! Lock them all up for treason!"

"We!" This changed everything! What Keith had said had caused all of them to falter. What Keith said was correct. Violet had just recently woken up; she was technically still sick. 

 

"'Agh," Violet groaned as she wiped her head, "My head is spinning."

"Mother!"

 

"Capture all of them right now! They need to be punished for harming the duchess!" As Keith had said this, Leland nodded, "Understood! Knights, come and bring them over to the prison!"

 

"Y-yes!" The knights were surprised as they quickly went, disturbed by the situation. Everything changed so fast! Keith shook his head as he grabbed the wheelchair's handles, "Aunty, I should bring you back to the room. The air here is repulsive."

"Understood." Violet nodded as the boy pushed the cart right back into the thing.

"Get off of me!"

"Don't you dare try to escape!"

The merchants tried to fight off, but the knights wouldn't let them off as they were captured. 

"Good job, Keith." When the three entered the mansion, Violet's wry look disappeared. Instead, a bright and cheerful one appeared!

"Thank you, Aunty." Keith grinned. 

"Can the two of you not be so joyful about this?" Krystal shook her head,

 

"But we got those snakes by the neck." Violet grinned. Those merchants tried to act coy but were walking into the wolf's mouth! 

"Yeah! And that guy should be punished, trying to force Aunty like that. How dare they."

"..." Why are you guys smiling then? Those justifiable words were clouded by the smiles they had. They look like two little foxes. 

"But Mother, why were you out there?" Krystal was confused. She shouldn't be out there by herself. 

"Oh, the maids suggested that I go out and get some fresh air for my health."

"Where's Winston?"

"Winston was called out to do something."

 

"Then who was the one who brought you out?"

"The maids were here, but they were called in because of an emergency."
