Chapter 170

"You use a dragon." [1] (or use so much effort)

Tuk.

Lulak looked at Shannanet, who was sitting across from him, pushing the Emperor's letter aside as if it was annoying.

"So, there's an update on the mine?"

"Yes, Father."

Shannanet presented a small letter to Lulak that arrived at the Lombardy mine a little while ago.

"The Baraport coal mine has resumed work that had stopped."

"The mine was clearly said to be dry."

"Yes, I think it's..."

"He is starting to knock on the iron mines underneath."

Lulak shook his head and asked.

"The owner have changed, haven't he?"

"Application documents have been received from Baraport family, Angenas's Vassal family, to transfer the owner to the Red Top."

"I guess so."

In the office of Lombardy's mansion, he learned information about coal mines in the Middle and South of the Empire and what was happening at the Capital.

Lulak showed no signs of surprise.

This was the power of the Lombardy Scholarship.

"Jovannes made this fuss to get that iron ore from the Empress. Or maybe he had a sense of pride, too."

Lulak grinned and muttered.

"I must have looked funny, Shannanet."

"The Emperor has not been very intelligent since he was a child."

Shannanet also spoke bitterly.

He doesn't know what Viese believed in doing this, but he was very angry that Lalane, who was innocent, caught in conflict between the Imperial Family, Lombardy, and Angenas's.

"The Luman family must have sent you a formal proposal."

Shannanet said when she saw another envelope next to the Emperor's letter.

The signature 'Avinox Luman, Deputy Lord' was written in elegant handwriting.

"I intend to deal with the proposal of Luman family as not receiving it."

But Lulak said, throwing it into the fireplace.

"Lombardy can withstand Imperial pressure, but Luman can't. Although the Cheshire port has opened its doors, it is still far from being incorporated into the central power without the help of the Imperial Family. He seem to have sent me a proposal for that situation, too."

The proposal sent by Avinox Luman quickly became ashes and disappeared.

"First of all, settle this stupid dispute with the Imperial Family."

Lulak's words darkened Shannanet's complexion.

Her father said lightly that it was a 'stupid dispute', but when Lombardy and the Imperial Family had an argument, 20 years had passed.

"It would take a long time..."

Would a child as soft as Lalane endure that time?

Shannanet thought unconsciously.

'It would be nice if Young Lord Luman took Larane and escaped to the East.'

If that was the case, it might be easier to just dismiss the young people's childish behavior and take their side.

Shannanet shook her head in surprise at her own thought.

Then, a knock was heard in the office and several people came in.

"Did you call, Lord?"

They were the vassals of the Lombardy family, including Dillard, Vilkay, and Devon.

"Ah, everyone is here."

Noticing that a state meeting had been called, Shannanet quietly greeted them and walked out of the office.

"I think everyone knows why we're here today."

The Lords nodded at Lulak's words.

Some people frowned as if they were offended by the Emperor.

"Give me orders, Lord. I'll do anything."

Romassie Dillard from Lombardy's Top said in a firm voice.

"Today, I received a letter from the Palace. He gave me three days to agree to an Imperial marriage with Lombardy. Otherwise, He'll give me a Golden Order."

"Oh, my God."

"I think we've been too quiet lately. Such a threat to the Lord."

The opponent was the emperor, but the vassals were not hesitant.

Lombardy's vassals were nobles of the Empire, but they served Lord of Lombardy like an Emperor, not the Imperial Family, so it was natural in a way.

"So I'm going to let him regret giving me three days."

Lulak was the first to look at Romassie Dillard and say.

"Three days later, from the moment my Golden Order was issued, Lombardy's Top will be withdrawn from the Capital."

Nine out of ten goods flowing into the Capital were from the Lombardy Top.

If Lombardy's top was closed immediately, the Capital would be paralyzed.

"Lord Devon."

"Yes, Lord."

Replied Clang Devon, who runs Lombardy transport and courier.

"The same goes for Devons. Also, notify the Tops who have relied on Lombardy traffic in the meantime. Route through the Capital, we can no longer cooperate."

"Yes, sir."

Lombardy's strike, was a way to affect not only the Capital but also the entire continent.

"And Vilkay."

At Lulak's call, Lemabau Vilkay of Lombardy Construction bowed his head.

"How many sites are in progress in the Capital?"

"Twenty-two."

"Stop everything."2

"Yes, Lord."

It was all aristocrats who Placed orders for Lombardy construction.

Lombardy's pressure began on the central aristocrats who had enough power to build buildings in the Capital.

"If he is still doing this, I will have Lombardy Bank and Scholarship Foundation join you, so be prepared."

"Yes, Lord."

No one has ever argued against it.

Rather, they were only happy to contribute to this situation.

"Thanks to you, we will take a good rest, too!"

"I know. I don't know if I should thank you. Haha!"
