Start As a Lord In a Viscount

In the small courtyard outside the Earl's Palace, Hunter was reporting the latest information to Claire.

"Lord Claire, Count Wei An has sent someone to talk to us, let us withdraw, and everything else can be discussed."

"What else did you say?" Claire asked.

"He said he was willing to transfer Portland City to us as long as we paid a certain amount." After speaking, Hunter added, "The person he sent has already transferred the land deed to Portland City. Bring it here."

"Don't worry, let him continue to wait." Claire said lightly, if you take Count Wei An down now, it will still be so conspicuous. What Claire wants is to be ready to attack the surrounding territory. They were all annexed, leaving the rest of the nobles with no time to react.

In this case, if you have annexed the nearby territories, the rest of the lords will not be able to do anything even if they react. Unless he declares war on himself, Claire doesn't mind adding another piece of territory or a colony.

"Understood, I will continue to drag." Han Tu nodded and continued: Then I will retreat first.

"Yeah." Claire nodded slightly.

As soon as Hunter walked out of the gate of the yard, he saw Reagan walking towards him with a ragged, yellow-faced, thin, and very poor mental outlook.

After Hunter and Regan nodded to each other, Regan walked straight into the Earl's House with the very down-to-earth man.

Seeing this, Hunter couldn't help but become curious. What was that person's identity just now? He looked very down and out, but Lord Claire actually met him in person.

Not enough, Hunter was just curious, and didn't plan to explore and answer his inner doubts. The more things you know, the better.

To give an inappropriate example, if a pig knows that it will be killed during the Chinese New Year, the meat quality of the pig will not be very good, even during the Chinese New Year.

…

Still in the small pavilion outside the mansion, Claire lay leisurely on her reclining chair, looking at the person in front of her.

Glancing at the piece of paper in his hand, he muttered, "Austin Carlyle, the eldest son of the previous generation of Earl Carlyle, and the elder brother of this generation of Earl Carlyle, because he was framed by Earl Carlyle during the title fight. The murderer who killed his father was sentenced to life imprisonment by the noble court and detained in the kingdom dungeon until now, which should have been more than ten years now."

After speaking, Claire threw the paper in her hand on the stone table beside, and looked at the person in front of her with interest.

"Am I right?"

And Austin was also looking at the young man in front of him who was less than twenty years old. He thought that after he entered the dungeon, he would stay there for the rest of his life until he died, but he did not expect that he would see the light of day again. At the same time of joy, he also knew that the reason why he could be released on bail was because of this friendly-looking boy in front of him.

After being silent for a while, Austin nodded slowly, "Well, what you... said... that's right."

When Austin said this, he felt that his voice was a little unfamiliar, and the short dialogue he said was also stumbling.

Yeah, I haven't spoken to anyone in my own dungeon for years.

Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on Austin's face.

After a little adjustment, Austin continued: "Do you have anything to do with me?" He didn't believe that the other party would rescue him from the dungeon for no reason. And he can also feel that this incident must have something to do with his **** brother.

Claire didn't say it directly, but continued to ask, "Did you not want to come out after staying in the dungeon for so long?"

A trace of movement flashed in Austin's eyes, and looking at Claire who was smiling, the desire for freedom in his heart could not help revealing.

Since this young man released himself from the dungeon on bail, he must have the ability to set himself free!

"I think! I always want to get out of the dungeon inside!" Austin said firmly, "As long as you let me out, then you can let me do anything!"

Claire smiled again, reaching out and pointing to the stone pier chair beside her.

"You don't need to say that you are so generous, so let's sit down and talk first."

Austin looked at the direction Claire pointed to, and was slightly taken aback. He had been here for a few minutes before the other party let him sit down. Do you think it's okay to continue talking?

Austin was stunned for a while, but he immediately sat down on the seat that Claire pointed to. There is value that can be used! If there is no value to be used, how can I have a chance to come out!

"What's the name of this lord? What do you need me to do?" Austin asked quickly after sitting down.

"Ann...Claire." Claire almost subconsciously reported his pseudonym. The other party's question was too similar to what traders would ask.

"I don't need you to do anything."

"Huh?" Austin was stunned again. He thought that he was fished out to use it as a trump card to deal with his younger brother. After all, he also had a lot of black material about his younger brother in his hand. If it came out, it could also have a certain influence on Earl Carlyle. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the kingdom's dungeon, his ruthless younger brother would have sent someone to kill him.

This also made Austin a little confused. The other party didn't need him, so why would he fish him out?

"I don't need you to do anything, but I will give you a big gift."

Austin asked subconsciously, "What gift?"

"The title of Earl Carlyle, the thing that originally belonged to you, don't you want to go back?" Claire's tone at this time was like a demon who seduces people into hell.

And Austin also showed a shocked expression, the sound of breathing in and out was clearly visible, and the next second he covered his heart, Austin felt that his heart was about to jump out at this moment.

"What did you say?" Austin couldn't believe his ears.

"You also have the right to inherit the title of Earl Carlyle, right? If your brother didn't plot against you at that time, you would be the first heir."

Austin's memory seems to go back to the moment eighteen years ago, when he was identified by his own younger brother as the murderer of his father, and from that moment on, he realized that he had been well-behaved before. The younger brother can actually show such a sinister smile, and he is usually not bad to him, and he also thinks that after inheriting the title, he will find a good official position for the other party in the capital, so that he can live better.

Sadness was no greater than death, that was the only feeling he felt at that time.

"I..." Austin became incoherent, not knowing what to say.

In the end, he said, "But I have been in prison for 18 years, and I have lost my status as a noble."

"Aren't you wronged?" Claire asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but it's been so long, it's impossible to reverse the case..." Austin's tone became less confident.

"It's a matter of one sentence." Claire said lightly, the current justice is still Joseph, and Claire can continue to hold the other party.

"?!" Austin stood up in shock, so arrogant words.

"After you return to the dungeon, I will arrange for someone to help you reverse the case. Since he used the law to send you to jail, then use this method to defeat him."

"Then the real murderer of the case, Earl Carlyle, goes to the stew. You can sit as your earl as you wish and become the new lord of the Earl of Carlyle. How about this proposal?" Claire arranged Austin's future in a few words. .

Austin nodded in astonishment, but still asked worriedly, "And then?"

He still understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

Now he hasn't paid the price at all, how could he dare to eat the bread like this.
