NTR: I became a noble?

Chapter 117: What can you give?

His subordinates were in better condition because they did not resist against Rae. But all of them had realised the strength of the young looking student in front of them.

...

They knew that their life and death was in his hands.

Also, the five of them already knew that they were guilty because they had actually formed the plan to attack Earl Ian.

Since, the plan was foiled and Rae was here to investigate, they knew that sooner or later they were going to be found out and then die.

'There must be some way, some way to avoid death!!!'

'Does he want to finish the mission by executing us right here right now? He could say that we attacked him and in retaliation he killed us all. Case closed!!'

'There is no way I am going to die right now. I will fight back with the Viscount!!'

'He is still not taking any actions. Does he want to stick to his mission and not hurt us?'

'He looks young and powerful. If he is really a commoner and young, then I can strike a deal with him and negotiate for my life, and the life of my subordinates.'

Everyone of them had different thoughts but there was one thing that they all had in common, that was there fear of Rae.

...

"Your spy was caught. And John was spy, the previous butler?" After listening to everyone of them confess one by one, Rae summarized.

"Yes sir, he was the spy, fighting for his runaway master Terias. He wanted to implicate all of us because he thought that we killed the previous Viscount."

Vivian quickly replied to Rae before anyone else could. He had a suspiciously fast and strong pace of speech as if he was in hurry.

He provided the basic plan for all of them to plead mercy and put all of the blame on the spy who was caught.

"I see, so that's why he entangled you all and confessed that the plan was to target Ian's daughter." Rae replied with an expression which showed that he was actually believing into his words.

"Yes sir. He must have fabricated the story after planning his arrest." Ekaros joined in, and he also agreed with Vivian's quick thinking.

He had been nervous and scared, thinking this was it and he was going to die now, but the story that Vivian made up with his quick thinking was able to give him some hope. Read exclusive content at mvl

The other three also nodded in support with Ekaros and Vivian's words, and pinned all the blame on John Warner who was already dead.

"Alright, I will see what I can do, depending on your sincerity."

Rae had an evil smile on his face as he mentioned the word sincerity, but the word filled the Viscount and his subordinates with hope.

...

"Hmm? Who is that lady?" Rae saw a beautiful lady wearing sundress in the garden, her hair was tied in a bun, her melon like breasts were jiggling at her every step.

"That's my daughter in law, Sir Rae. She has a five year old boy."

Ekaros quickly followed the direction of Rae's eye and looked at the lady. He panicked and quickly mentioned that the lady is a mother and has a child already.

"Oh lovely, she's a gorgeous noble lady. Alright, butler take me to the room."

Rae commented as he stared at Lisa's motherly body before ordering the butler. He was already satisfied with the information he got from the Viscount and his men.

The mission he had accepted was just to investigate and find proof against them. That much was already done and Rae could decide to leave any moment now.

However, he decided to order around the butler of the Viscount in order to show his willingness to negotiate.

Rae gave them hope to cling, he wanted them to know that there exists a possibility of their lives being saved.

Although, the reality was far from that. The note that he had gotten from the guard at the door was from a noble who wanted the Viscount and his family to be ruined.

Rae had no reason to accept the request but, he was willing to play along with Earl Ian's request. Why would he reject a chance to get in contact with him?

The butler showed him a good room and helped Rae adjust before he left with proper manners.

"Let's see what you do Ekaros! You are really insane to be targeting a noble's daughter."

He was curious about the types of proposals he would get from the Viscount after he had complimented his daughter in law.

...

"What do we do Sir? How are we going to convince him?" Vivian asked after making sure that Rae was not nearby.

"He is open to negotiation, otherwise he would not have stayed in the mansion. He could have concluded that we are guilty and be done with the mission."

"But what are we going to offer to him?"

Ekaros was well versed with scheming,

"Father, are you okay? What just happened?"

Lisa saw her father in law and the rest of his subordinates who were all sweating and tensed.

She was out for the walk in the garden when she saw the guards at the gate were tensed.

She asked and found out from one of her maids that someone important from the royal forces has arrived. Then she happened to look at the Viscount and asked him with concern.

"It is alright, just some visitor from the royal forces. Nothing for you to worry about."

Ekaros told her to get back to her routine and to try and not disturb the visitor from the capital.

...

"What do you think? isn't it very irresponsible for him to take missions at the moment?" Serena asked Alice with concern

"It is fine, he needs to put up his image as a powerful warrior and a student first before getting to his goal." Alice countered Serena's comment with logic

However deep inside her heart, she too thought that the mission that Rae had accepted was too risky.

They had come to the capital, and it was time for them to be living inside the capital, close to the academy. They were discussing Rae when Alice got the info from her sources that he had accepted a mission.
