Ch-7 The funeral and death of the last member of stan. Part-2
Count whiteblade spoke that and went to meet the man who was now the new leader of stan.
He saw that man was talking with many other nobles with sad expression but he knewed that everybody here on the surface were mourning. but behind those mask of pain , sadness, loss there was nothing but interest.
The so called 'family' and relatives all were fake bastards.
They did not give a damn about the death of that child.They were here not to mourn loss of that child if he spoke about that directly they didn't care about it at all they were here for interests only for their interests and profits.
Being a noble meaned that this was a game of masks and interest.In nobilites
there were no friends and enemies but only interests.
Noble society was like a glorified hole which was fully of spikes but they were made of gold.
Even I sometimes hate being a noble count whiteblade thought.
But as we know every things also have their own expections.
There were expections everywhere weather in people or things but to find them you will need to find them yourself they are not spotted easily they are like James but it deep inside Earth only after digging them they could be found.
In mind of whiteblade a person camed across a innocent smile bright curious ice and energetic nature and the truly bright and innocent smile which could melt any stoic men into smile.
That that was zohann von stan count whiteblade he used to call him affectionately, "Jon".
That kid had now was died.
And his father's impression on him was deep.He was one of the true person he had encountered in his life. He was one of the true holder of "noble" among so-called nobles.
"Oh,it's count whiteblade,please give him space gentlemen!." a noble noticed him approaching and told those around
to give space.
The nobles moved like a tidal wave as they saw him giving him proper clearance to walk ahead.He continued to walk towards Adolf.Some nobles greeted him some not but he didn't care
about that.
He approached Adolf he had also noticed he was coming , so adolf also camed forward gave his hand forward
for a handshake.
Forwarding his hand first to me means that he still acknowledges me as his superior.
So count whiteblade also gave his hand forward after shaking hands Adolf spoke...
"Your excellency, the count let me reintroduce myself properly as you are seeing my face properly."
"I am Adolf von stan de facto viscount of Stanford and head of stan family and a baron of starvike"
There was a hint of pride in his perfect monotonous introductory speech .
Feeling prideful while your own nephew died ! What's wrong with you? Joseph had not raised you properly didn't he ?
Thought whiteblade.
I should ask him some questions if he ignores me than he will be socially ruined among noble circles.
So, whiteblade asked him a question
" SirAdolf are sure zohann is dead ,What if he is alive ?"
"No,no he is dead my lord. During our return from the captial for his treatment
monsters attacked resulting in carriage
Crashing down the valley, later we found the carriage but body was not founded the search was useless."
" What type of monsters attacked ?"
asked count whiteblade.
"Umm, it was group of monsters like greenskins,wildboar and greywolves."
"Are you sure he is not died but he could have survived?"
"Yes I had made sure of...sorry *cough*
*Cough*"
Caught you BASTARD! Thought exclamied in Whiteblade's mind
So you were involved in this case
one way or another.
"Yes, we had searched for him but it was no use." Said adolf "according to empire's nobility law if a body of noble dead or alive is not founded within three months his funeral shall be held."
"Tsk, what a pity..."
"Yes, truly a pity my lord." Now the voice of Adolf had changed to a hint of wariness in it.
"Now your excellency if you can excuse me I have some arrangements to be made for this funeral". Spoke Adolf.
"Yes sure sir Adolf why not ?"
Soon both men bowed slightly to each other and went in opposite direction one unhurriedly and other with quicksteps.
Dammit that old man is like a damn fox and I should have not flipped over his question and all thought now with Adolf thought with digust on his face as he was alone right now and nobody was watching him.
That old man is too smart I have to take him out sooner or later just let me be a discount officially and soon I will bring him down thought Adolf.
While returning to the carriage white bullet hot that man Adolf has now become suspicious of me.
"Bring it on me let this game of chess begin!" Thought whiteblade.
A strife had already formed between rising power of Adolf and established power of whiteblade.... Will it turn into a just a rivalry or something larger ?
Only time could tell.....
Somewhere, far away in a forest...
Zohann woke up, "huh fighting that strong beast was all just a dream right ?"
But sooner he was proven wrong...
He saw a body of that same beast which had nearly killed or just killed him
Laying on the ground...
All battered and bruised...
... Right in front of his eyes...
He then felt something that was standing....
Another wolf type creature... No calling it monster would be better much better...
And the aura released by that beast was very much suffocating too him.
If the aura released by that black wolf was like a headache the aura coming out this beast was a full blown brain hemorrhage.
Not only that but this beast was also large in size .
But was also for some reason had a aura of majesty around him.
Before his encounters this type of monster only gave him aura of wildness
and danger.
... But this was rather different....
He noticed that beast had hair which were silky with mix of white colour and light blue colour.
Which made it look unusual but at the same time it looked majestic....
And on it on its forehead it had symbol of a tornado on it.
This is for some reason looks very similar to symbol from Naruto's headband... Whatever he thought..
Suddenly that beast just stared at him
It's mouth closed it's eyes glowing blue.
The gaze seemingly was piercing him
it was not growling at him ...
Not coming closer at him to launch on him....
It was just staring at him straight into dead of his eyes...
Oh! For godsake's do I have to die for second time again he thought sweating bullets...
I am so screwed right now... He thought.
Just now I thought I had survived that attacks from that blackwolf beast now
Nearly killing myself but now even a stronger beast comes to me..!
If there is a God what grudge do you have against me to have my luck like this!!!
Despair engulfed him again...
