I'm not a lord

Chapter 82 Instigating Rebellion
For Lynn, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that Flora, the female regent of the Shoal Territory, probably doesn't know what secrets the White Bear Territory is hiding.

The bad news is that Flora has already suspected White Bear Territory and has conducted preliminary tests.

Therefore, it makes no difference whether these three prisoners are released or not.

No matter what choice she makes, it will only deepen Flora's suspicion of the White Bear Territory.

"Kill them all."

Since the results are similar no matter which choice he makes, Lin En naturally chooses to kill and silence the witness.

At least you can earn three horses and a set of weapons and armor, right?
Of course, killing these three people would mean a complete break between the White Bear Territory and the Shoal Territory.

If Lin En wants to contact Sanhe City again, it is likely that he will not be able to do so by land and can only go by water.

We can't just declare to the public that it was bandits who robbed these three envoys, right?

Who would believe it?

And Lin En doesn't care about aristocratic etiquette at all.

How could the bandit leader care about these rules and regulations?

If a baron can be killed, a mere landed knight can naturally be killed at will.

After Lin En finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the house.

The second brother immediately entered the house with two younger brothers, full of murderous intent. The dagger reflected a terrifying cold light in the moonlight.

Seeing that his life was coming to an end, Bova shouted repeatedly, "Wait, I know a lot of secrets about the Shoal Territory and Regent Flora. Your Excellency will definitely be interested!"

"Oh?"

Lin En turned around and said, "Tell me about it."

Bova finally grasped at a lifeline, but he didn't reveal the information directly. Instead, he asked, "Baron, may I ask if Miss Yagena is still in White Bear Territory? Please tell her my name, and she will definitely come to see me!"

In this desperate situation, perhaps due to his years of experience in surviving, Bova's mind was unusually clear.

He knew very well that he was facing a dead end. Even if he confessed everything he knew, the cruel Baron would never let him go.

The only person who could save his life was Miss Yagena, who married into the White Bear Territory last year.

Of course, he couldn't be sure whether Yagna was still in the territory.

After all, the young lady's husband has passed away.

But he had to try.

He believed that with the young lady's beauty and wisdom, which were unrivaled in the Baihe River Basin, she would definitely be able to charm the second son of the Hanfeng family.

Lynn had a blank expression and remained silent.

But the stunned state of the second brother and the two bandit brothers revealed the most crucial information to Bova.

Bova knew something was up, so he continued shouting, "I am the most loyal knight of the Shoal family. My wife even held Miss Yagena in her arms when she was young. Baron! Please!"

The second brother stuffed the smelly socks back into Bowa's mouth, tied the rope, and then left the cabin.

Outside the house, under the big tree, Lin En had already mounted his white horse and ordered, "I will return to the castle now. Bring Yagena here tomorrow morning. In the meantime, keep an eye on these captives for me."

Between letting go and killing, Lin En saw another vague path.

The second brother nodded seriously: "I understand, big brother."

Lin En returned to the castle overnight with two servants. As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw Yagna and Leah who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time.

Lin En held the two girls in his arms, one in each, and said, "It's so late, why don't you rest?"

"How can we sleep peacefully when the Lord suddenly leaves the castle late at night?" Yagena stood on tiptoe and gently pressed her cheek against Lin En's face, as if trying to share some of the coolness with him.

Leah was shorter, so she stamped her feet and could only lower her head and bury her face in Lin En's arms: "My lord, what happened?"

"Come to my bedroom, I want your opinions on this matter."

Lynn originally wanted to discuss it with Yagna alone, but when he thought that he should have been with Leah tonight, he decided to go all out and carried both mistresses into his bedroom.

On the soft big bed, Lin En lay in the middle, with Yagna and Leah leaning on his shoulders respectively.

Although the two girls and Lin En were almost an old married couple, they had never tried sleeping in the same room with three people, so their faces were flushed and they didn't dare to look up.

Lin En didn't feel anything special, and he did have some important business to attend to today.

He briefly described what had happened that evening and included his speculation about the regent of the Shoal Lady.

After listening to Lin En's description, Yagna analyzed with a tired look:
"My lord, what Bova said is true. When my father was still healthy, those knights were indeed loyal to the Shoal family.

It is true that Bova's wife held me in her arms, and my father once mentioned this to me, but this was not unusual, as most of the vassal's wives had held me in their arms.

As for the so-called secret, he might really know something that I don't. After all, I left the Shallows Territory last year. As long as you agree, I'm willing to meet him."

Yagena's impression of Bova was neither good nor bad.

If we were to say who is the worst among the eight knights of the Shoal Territory, it would undoubtedly be Henryk, who had an affair with Flora and was suspected of murdering the former baron.

The remaining seven knights did nothing wrong; they were simply loyal to the baron.

He used to be loyal to Yagna's father, but now he is loyal to Yagna's brother and regent Flora.

They couldn't pledge allegiance to Yagna, who was married to an outsider.

That's true betrayal.

"What I'm thinking about is whether I can persuade Bova to rebel. I'll let him go back, and when we attack the Shoal Territory in the future, he can become our internal supporter." Lin En expressed his idea.

Leah, still full of energy, responded immediately, "I think we can try. From what you've said, Powa is a coward and his martial arts skills seem mediocre. He's certainly not valued in the Shoal Territory. Through inducement and coercion, it's very likely we can get him to pledge allegiance to you."

"It's certainly worth a try. I didn't have the right to inherit the Shoal Territory in the past, but now I have your child. He is more qualified to inherit the Shoal Territory than that baron of unknown origin."

Naturally, Yagna would not refuse Lin En's proposal.

She stroked her not-yet-not-quite-noticeable pregnant belly, feeling the hatred burning in her heart grow stronger and stronger.

It was time to settle accounts with Flora and Henrik, she thought.

Leah didn't forget to suggest, "But this guy's loyalty is questionable. He needs to leave a handwritten letter of allegiance."

"Of course." Lin En followed suit. What he was least afraid of was the issue of loyalty. He could see genuine loyalty.

The next morning, Yagna got on a carriage and followed Lin En to the wooden house where the prisoners were held.

Seeing Yagna, Bova burst into tears and crawled to Yagna like a maggot:
"Miss, you really came to save me. I knew you must still be in White Bear Territory!"

Yagna suppressed her disdain and asked, "Bowa, are you willing to pledge allegiance to me and the Baron of White Bear?"

"Of course I am willing to be loyal to you, but Your Excellency the Baron..." Bova was obviously hesitant.

"The Baron is my man, and I am pregnant with his child. Bova, are you willing to help my child recapture the Shoal Territory?"
