Chapter 376: Villain in black

Cassius pov contd.

"I.. I apologize, my lord. But there is another matter that needs your attention, '' he said, shivering again.

"And what is that?" I asked as annoyance filled me further.

"My lord, when we sent the men to take our investments back. The land was in the name of earl Alcantra not in the name of marquess Wiltshire. And since it was not in his name anymore. We could not claim it back. In fact, most of the properties are sold to others or paid as loans. And I am not sure if the marquees had so many treasures to pay us back the gold equals so many properties. As a noble the man had asked his estate and vassal families to pay more as tax so that he could cover up the losses." 

"The audacity of that man! Write a letter to his majesty that the taxes for vassal families have been increased without his permission. And also write a letter to the earl Alcantra, as the hoax and inform that he will be taken to the royal audience if he used the land or other favors given by Marquees. Let him panic, but before he could return.. Just in a few hours send him a summon asking for his presence in the royal palace.

The summon should say that he was informed but he did not listen. And make sure to write an old date on the letter so even if he said that the letter he had received ws only that day, he would be proven wrong." he looked at me wide eyed but then gulped and nodded.

"Yes, your highness" his voice was turning shaky with every passing second.

"That is not enough.. I want you to find every dirt on Earl Alcantra possible and send a summon to him in the same way. If he did not have enough dirt that would create rumors. 

I want him to get ruined in two days and then come to us for help as a last resort. Inform him that i was the one behind all this., he should know why he was facing so much trouble. I want to see him kneeling in front of my wife in 24 hours. Or else I will hang you in front of everyone in the square." my warning was in such a cold voice that he shivered. He nodded his head and then moved towards the other direction.

I looked down but heard a sharp noise only to see that he hit himself on the door.

"Francis, last time I remember we needed to open the door for going out. Or you have learnt a way to pass through walls" my voice was filled with sarcasm. He always tried to prove himself better than Ian, and still he was so afraid over these small matters.

"No, your highness, i apologise, your highness" his voice was almost filled with tears as he spoke to me.

"Just leave" he bowed and nodded as he left the room.

"Send the one who handles all the matters of the duke's audience room, Francis." I added once I remembered there are many other things I still need to handle.

"Yes, your highness:"

I took out all the files I had against marquess Wiltshire over these past years. I did not want to give it a chance to think. He must be so busy thinking about all the affairs that he did not even get a chance to think about other things.

"Your highness"

"Moore, i want to know is there any case registered in the past few days for an audiences" 

"Well, one or two cases are coming daily, but they are of trivial matters that is why we have not asked for your presence." he said in an unsure voice as to why i was asking such kind of questions.

"Good, then do one thing. Collect a few people whom you know. It will be better if they work for marquees Wiltshire and then ask them to sign a petition against marquees wiltshire. Take these files and create at least 10 petitions over each matter. And send more than 100 summons to Marquess Wiltshire. He must spend all his time in the audience room.

Make sure that he would be proven guilty in each and every matter even if he has hundreds of proof. I did not want to see him out of the audience room. And in the end he must be fined with heavy penalties.

I know none of the cases are enough to send him to prison. But try to send the person directly involved in the prison. It will also make his sources handicapped. 

And remember if any noble comes forward to help him then write their name and forward it to me. Even if it's remotely helpful, like saying he was treated unfairly or that he had not done that crime.`` The man looked at me horrified and gulped.

"My lord, are you trying to take enmity from all the nobles. If you 

Summon all of them then it would be clear that you are taking revenge from Marquess wiltshire and those who would support it are your enemy." his voice was mellow, it was clear that he was afraid of the consequences but he was more fearful to me.

I just smirked at his words. 

"Do you think I am afraid of getting into an argument? Ha!! If needed I am ready to summon his majesty in the audience room too. They must know that they could not go against my wife. If she is the villainess in red, then as her husband, I am the villain in black too.`` The man looked at me stunned as if I was declaring war against the world. Well i was, if i did not take the action then i would never be able to look into her eyes again and for her i was ready to fight the world now. Let the world know who are they against!
