Chapter 56: If You Can’t Beat Him, Join Him

“Wendy, you said that someone sneaked into Young Master Watson’s room and wanted to harm him?” Liszt looked serious and nervous.

Wendy nodded weakly. “Brother, gather the guards to save Young Master, quickly!”

Wendy did not stop from the moment she left Watson’s bedroom. Instead, she ran all the way to find her brother. She only trusted the young master and her brother in the castle.

“Stand here and don’t move. I’m going to find someone now,” Liszt said anxiously. He turned around and walked along the corridor; he knocked on the guards’ rooms one by one to inform them of the matter.

Within a short time, the corridor was filled with 30 bronze tier guards. Each of them had a serious look on their faces.

“Someone had snuck into Blackmoon Castle without anyone noticing?”

“And this person wants to harm the young master; what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

It was because of Watson that they were able to increase their strength significantly in only two short months. If Watson died, who would give them bronze equipment in the future? Who would give them Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs? They were the best family at the border. They all liked the young master; he was young and kind.

“Wait a moment. If this person could sneak in alone, he must be powerful. We might not be his match.”

Liszt waved his hand and said, “I’ll bring the others to save the young master. At the very least, we must make sure that the criminals do not dare to act rashly! Captain Allen, please go to the farm and bring the gold tier magical beast that the young master keeps there. Should we inform the young master’s family about this matter?”

Liszt recalled that Watson’s eldest brother, Vincent, was also a silver tier warrior.

“Leave this matter to me. You should also bring the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken here! As for informing the young master’s family, forget about it. The young master is in danger; if his family is also harmed, how are we going to explain it?”

Allen and Liszt exchanged a look. Then, they quickly went on their way.

They were the only silver tier warriors in the team, and so everyone looked to them to act. Allen thought it would not be enough only to have the Golden Flash. Even though the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken did not have much combat power, it was comparable to a silver tier beast. Plus, it was extremely valuable. Perhaps they could use it as a bargaining chip.

Watson’s safety was the most important thing.

“The rest of you, follow me.”

Liszt did not look at Aaron’s departing figure; he waved his hand and led the remaining guards toward Watson’s bedroom.

Wendy tugged the corners of her skirt and jogged all the way. She did not want to be left behind.

With a worried expression on her face, she muttered softly, “Young Master, please be safe.”

..

Meanwhile, in Watson’s bedroom.

“I see. I didn’t expect His Majesty to have such a grudge with the border count.”

Watson sat leisurely on the bed; he took a basket from the headboard. There were a few boiled Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs in it.

“Do you want one?” Watson asked Nightingale, who sat next to him with her legs crossed.

Nightingale had asked him if he wanted to join the count’s camp, but Watson did not answer her. Instead, he asked for the reason the count wanted him.

Nightingale told him about the feud between the border count and the King. Back then, the border count had helped His Majesty ascend the throne; he even betrothed his sister to the King. However, the count’s sister had died a few years after she became the Queen. Afterward, the King had banished the count to the border and never spoke to him again.

After he heard Nightingale’s tale, Watson could guess the reason for her visit. A castle had appeared so suddenly at the border, and the border count was confused about that. So, he thought that the King had sent Watson as a spy. After all, he did build a castle in only a few short months. Only those from the royal family could have done it; no other noblemen could have achieved the same thing.

Watson felt odd. He did not expect that his castle would attract the attention of someone like the border count. It seemed like the count had such strong control over the border and also many spies.

Of course, Watson did not regret it. He had made plans to expand rapidly. He knew he would have to face the border count eventually anyway. It was an excellent opportunity as any. At least, Nightingale was there with good intentions; it did not matter if he used it to flatter the border count.

“This is a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg?”

Nightingale looked at the egg that Watson handed to her; her expression changed.

Before she snuck into the castle, she did some research about the men there and their strength. That was why she could sneak in so easily. Of course, that was because she was a gold tier warrior and had the ability to teleport.

She knew that the family had Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs, but she did not expect Watson to give one to her so easily. Furthermore, they were all cooked. It seemed that Watson had eaten it regularly.

“That’s right. These are Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs. I usually eat them as snacks.” Watson nodded.

He had eaten those eggs for several months; they were no longer much help to him. However, those eggs were delicious. They had a milky fragrance and a strange texture. He would eat two after he exercised to relieve his tiredness. Wendy would usually leave them by the bed for him. She knew that he would always eat one before he went to sleep.

“Watson, you haven’t answered my question. Do you want to join Lord Sylvan’s army?”

Nightingale peeled the colorful and tender egg, lifted her veil, and put it into her mouth. Her pink lips collided with the egg white; it looked very tempting.

Watson took another look and asked, “Do I still have a choice?”

Nightingale had told him about the feud between the border count and the King. She was not afraid that he would spread the news, so she definitely would not let him go.

He could not beat the border count, and even he was not Nightingale’s match. Well, if he could not beat him, then he could only join him.

“Unfortunately, you have no choice!”

“But please rest assured. You are a smart man and have mastered magic. The border count will definitely give you an important position! You should know that whoever passes the noblemen test will be awarded the title of nobility. It is a difficult examination, but Lord Sylvan has a certain reputation in the kingdom; he can talk to the examiners. Therefore, it’s not difficult for him to let you pass the examination and become a baron. Then, your family won’t have to worry about losing the title of nobility.”

Nightingale stuffed the egg into her mouth as she glanced at him. Her eyes narrowed into beautiful crescent moons. She licked her delicate red lips and said, “It is as I expected of the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs; they’re so delicious. Give me two more.”

They were really tasty.

Watson shrugged and handed two more eggs to Nightingale.

The price of joining the border count was to oppose the King. No matter how he thought about it, he was at a disadvantage. He could only pretend to be courteous with the count and use the improve his strength so that he could defend himself when the King attacked them.

He did not expect the lady assassin to be a food enthusiast. After a while, she had finished all the five Rainbow Phoenix eggs in the basket. She even wiped her mouth and reached her hand toward Watson.

“Is there any more? Give me some more.”

“I—”

Before Watson could answer, the door flew open with a bang.

Liszt led about 20 guards to rush into the room. When they saw Nightingale reach out toward Watson, they thought that she would harm their young master, so they roared angrily.

“Stop! Don’t hurt Young Master Watson!”

Liszt reacted swiftly—the pair of green wings on his back spread open. The feathers on them were like grass that swayed in the wind. They shot out and connected into green vines in the air as they moved toward Nightingale from three different directions.
