Chapter 269: The Greedy Mouse Lord (End) The New Lord

The sun was setting over Grafen, casting long shadows through the castle's opulent halls. The echoes of battle were fading, replaced by a heavy silence. The walls that had once echoed with the Count's hedonistic laughter and cries of despair now stood witness to his demise. The room where Count Havton lay dead was a stark contrast to the rest of the city, filled with luxury and excess.

Lyan, Arnold the Commander, Borton, and Crown Prince Erich stood over the Count's lifeless body, a mixture of disgust and contempt on their faces. The opulence surrounding them—the rich tapestries, the gold ornaments, and the overflowing wine goblets—only served to deepen their revulsion. The Count's bloated form lay sprawled on the floor, a dagger still clutched in his pudgy hand.
