Chapter 553 – Acting Lord

Chapter 553 – Acting Lord
When the first rays of the morning sun shone down on Lake Town, the tense, austere atmosphere that had accumulated over the course of the night did not dissipate.

Guards stood on duty at every intersection, most of them made up of militiamen who had learned to shoot only the day before, and the militiamen watched everything around them with a mixture of nervousness and excitement, all in high spirits despite not having slept a wink of an eye, and all of these young lads felt that, after last night’s mobilization, they were on some kind of a sacred and important mission – to save Arda from the conspirators. -to save Alda from the conspirators.

The streets of Lakeland were deserted today, and only those who had to go out because of urgent business ventured out into the streets cautiously, but fortunately they were not embarrassed, except for a few cordoned off areas where they were not allowed to enter or exit and could not go out of the city.

Inside the lord’s mansion, the important members of the government council who were summoned over all night also did not close their eyes for a night, at this time they are all in the vestibule of the castle divided into two columns standing on the left and right, seemingly waiting for what important person.

A carriage drilled out from the roadside alleyway, and then along the city’s central axis of the street from south to north slowly toward the lord’s mansion, his two sides each have a team of people on horseback escort, this kind of platoon, in such a cold and clear street looks very eye-catching.

About twenty minutes later, the carriage drove into the castle gate of the lord’s mansion and came to a stop in the vestibule.

A knight next to him rolled over and dismounted, it was the Lieutenant Bourgain, the officer of the training division who was authorized by the staff department to be in charge of the city’s martial law, and the militia that gathered in the town of Lakewood were all under his command now.

Bourgain approached the carriage, reached out to open the door, and said aloud, “Your Excellency Urio, please get out of the carriage, the gentlemen of the Council of State are already waiting for you.”

Inside, a fair-skinned hand reached out and gently clasped the door frame, then a well-dressed middle-aged man stepped down from the car.

He was dressed in a dark gold-toned robe, of medium build, with a well-groomed beard and a slight double chin.

This person, who was addressed by Bourgain as Honorable Urio, had a face covered in fatigue and sadness, and his entire body revealed a withered color, as if he hadn’t slept all night.

Everyone in the courtyard together turned their gazes towards him, while the Head of the Political Council, Old Ford, slowly stepped forward and slightly bowed to greet him, “Your Excellency Yurio.”

“Alas!” Yurio let out a sigh and said in a hoarse voice, “Chief Ford, I really didn’t expect this to happen, and even more so, I didn’t expect to be in this state to see you again, last week I was still in this courtyard and Lord Gleeman took a walk with me, but now it’s …… alas, in any case, I ask for your condolences! .”

“I beg your condolences also.” Chief Steward Ford’s voice was equally hoarse, “I presume Bourgain has told you the reason for your invitation here.”

“Yes …… he has also told me of the dangers Alda now faces, and since the Lord of Light has pushed me to the crossroads of deciding Alda’s fate, I will not say any more pretentious words, I – Urio Webster am willing to take on this responsibility and restore the last name of Gladman.”

Urio was watching Old Ford as he spoke, his tone was firm, but his eyes revealed some nervousness, hesitation, and lack of confidence, a combination that rather dispelled some of Old Ford’s misgivings.

Urio was looking at Ford Sr. as well, and he reached out to shake the hand of the head of the Council of State, “Please, you must help me, and let’s work together to get through the difficulties at hand.”

Old Ford nodded gently, “We will, Lord Urio. Now, please enter the hall, what we desperately need right now is to send a letter to those surrounding lords in the name of House Graiman, to deter the ill-intentioned clans, as well as to draw those friendly clans to our aid.”

“I understand.” Yurio replied, “You guys say it, I’ll write it. However, it’s also important to notify the various places in Arda, Bairdin, and Emden as soon as possible that the new …… acting lords have been established, lest there be a lack of governmental order.”

Old Ford said, “This is natural, the chiefs of the various ministries of the Council of State, including myself, have already written a joint letter to notify the localities, publicizing your new identity to the public. Lord Garnard’s side has also sent people over.” Next, Old Ford introduced Yulio to each of the Acting Lords standing in the courtyard to greet them one by one, though he already knew many of them.

Once the introductions were complete, the various officials followed the two men into the hall of the lord’s house, where they all retook their seats.

They discussed which of the people around them might be harboring ill will towards Alda, who would be on Alda’s side, and how letters to different people should be written.

Then there was the question of how to deal with the rebels in the village of Babol, and the final conclusion was to wait until the four integrated infantry battalions that had been out on field training were called back, and then to send out an army to destroy those rebels in one fell swoop and avenge the death of Paul Gleiman.

At the same time, martial law continued to be imposed on the town of Lakewood until the city was searched and searched for rebels lurking in the city.

Acting Lord Urio and the officials of the various ministries met until close to noon, and only then did he have someone prepare a pen and ink and begin to write a letter ……

It was at this time that someone approached Lieutenant Bourgain, who was also at the meeting and was the sole representative of the military, and quietly reported to the hand that an army had appeared outside the city.

With heavy steps, Steward Philip quietly left the meeting.

After joining the officials of the Council of State in greeting Acting Lord Urio just now, he felt that he was in no mood to stay here.

Sorrow has filled his entire body, rebellion, border trouble …… these headaches will be left to these officials appointed by Paul, I hope they will not let the young master down, and he, just the steward of the Greiman family.

Philip made up his mind that he would wait in this lord’s mansion until the young master’s great revenge was avenged, and then he would resign and leave this place and return to his old home to spend the rest of his life.

For continue to stay here to serve the inheritance of the Greiman name of Urio, he is not interested at all, for Philip, Paul left, the real Greiman family is no longer in this world, Urio is just a top of the Greiman name of the bystanders.

Philip wandered aimlessly around the castle, sometimes creating the illusion that Paul was beside him, however, every time the illusion was immediately shattered.

“Ugh!” He pushed his way through the office in which Paul often stayed on official business, filled with various books and papers, wondering what the new owner of this castle would do with them.

Tut-tut-tut! Toot-toot-toot!
Something came from over the window, and the old butler turned his head to see that a large parrot was resting on the sill of the window outside, and was tapping on the glass with its own beak.

How is this parrot …… a little familiar? The old housekeeper inexplicably had this feeling.
