Chapter 147 Taylor Bolos Has A Plan
While others were making their own preparations for the Dungeon, so was Eros.
The moment Butler Jimmy heard that Eros sent a letter to the manor, he immediately left his cultivation.
By now, the Manor and the rest of the Tate Estate had grown very much.
Immediately, all efforts on building were paused and preparations to go to the Snake forest was made. Eros had given quite list of items nd Victori had immediately set to them. After all, she was in charge of the Merchant Guild.
Just as with Eros when he left the Tate Estate to go to the Viscount's Territory.
To get to the Snake forest, one had to go through the Frostbite Estate and then the Bolos Estate.
However, at the border of the Bolos Estate, their entourage were stopped by the soldiers at the entrance to the Estate.
"You may not pass! That is the order from the Baron." The soldier in charge stated clearly.
For this Procession to the Snake forest, Butler Jimmy had suggested that two of the Eros's women accompany the Merchant guild and Victoria who had vehemently insisted on coming along.
She was a woman of knowledge. A Scholar at heart. Since she came to the Estate, she had not gotten the opportunity to explore this side of herself.
Hearing from the Letter that Eros was now King of the Snake tribes and needed help from the merchant Guild, she saw it as an opportunity to explore the outside world.
After her continuous insist, she was allowed to be in charge of the Procession.
After Which Eros's women appointed themselves with a game of Rock Paper Scissor for who would go and who would stay.
Someone had to stay behind and protect the territory. Also, Some one had to continue with the BBW guild that Eros had created.
Victoria as Leader of the merchant guild was the person in charge of the mission.
The moment she heard the words from the soldier at the entrance to the Estate, she instructed that she be let down.
Her wheel Chair was rolled behind by Carren to the soldiers.
"We are a merchant guild, and are carrying very important cargo and wish to pass through to deliver it." Victoria stated clearly, showing her merchant permit badge.
The soldiers looked at one another.
However, they did not agree.
"We are aware that the law of the land allows merchants to travel without interruptions through Estates and territory, but our Baron as ordered that none come through the territory, even if it is the Knights of the King himself.
Those words made Victoria frown a bit, and her curiosity was peaked.
Carren leaned in a bit, "Sister Victoria, you are going easy on these guys. If they don't want to let us in, i can just make a path with my sword, and their blood will be road for our Cargo."
Carren had said those words without a bit of remorse or pity. As far ass she was concerned, anything that had to do with obstructing the will of her man Eros had to be treated fairly with the blade.
However, Victoria shook her head.
Eros had said in his Letter that they pose at merchants only. This meant that he was not willing to attract trouble.
Victoria did not have cultivation, but what she had in abundance was her incredible mind.
This was the same mind that had decoded an ancient journal to find the first Anchor stone.
She was not one that depended on brawns but brains.
She remembered that the kings Knights had come to visit the territory in request for all the nobles under viscount Peter. However, none in the territory carried noble blood, or was of noble birth.
Therefore, they had no choice but to leave empty handed.
Secondly, these soldiers had said that they were not allowing anybody into the territory including the Knights of the king, and that was order from their Baron.
This clearly meant two things.
It meant that Baron Bolos regardless of the order given by the king to his knights, refused to go to the royal palace.
Even though it was ordinarily the Silver knights of the king's guards that had come to take him, they were still very strong and formidable, and yet, he was still in his territory, and even gave orders not to allow the King's knights in.
Victoria was a woman that understood how men thought to a certain extent because of her wider perspective of the situation.
If Baron Bolos remained in his territory regardless of all that had happened, then it could only mean that he had a means of securing his safety, or even worse, he had a formidable weapon that could challenge the Royal family.
It was true that the two women coming along with her for this trip were strong guards. They were even capable of destroying the attackers from the Grand order the other day.
However, a weapon that could threaten the king's silver knights, and secure Baron Bolos's safety in his Territory, was not something any of the two women would be capable of handling. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝒄𝙤𝒎
This much, Victoria could bet on.
However, this was not an excuse to turn back.
If Eros said they should come, then it meant that he required their presence and expertise.
Backing off now would be a disappointment.
Victoria cracked her pretty brain for what to do.
Meanwhile, unknown to her, the moment her Merchant Guild had reached the border, a soldier had hurried to inform the Baron of this.
Unfortunately, Baron Bolos was taking a nap and his third son who had solid control of the Estate's affairs took over the report.
Taylor Bolos heard the report from the soldier and his eyes brightened up.
"Quickly pass my orders to them. Let the merchant guild pass. However, send some of our best spies to track their movements."
The soldier nodded and immediately went to do as instructed.
When the soldier was gone, a woman dressed like a guard but with obvious closeness to Taylor Bolos walked into the room. "Why did you do that!? Do you so desire your father's wrath on this very good day?"
However, Taylor Bolos Chuckled as he explained....
