Chapter 804 Stripped of rights
When we returned we found that everyone was there waiting for us.
It didn't seem like they had even moved even though we had been gone for at least an hour.
It seemed like they had been just waiting for us the entire time.
When we landed, the knight jumped off before throwing Henry to the ground like he was some kind of sack.
Henry had completely lost consciousness, so there was no reaction at all that came from him. However, that didn't mean that there was no reaction from the people who saw this.
The count just knitted his brows while Lily ran forward while saying, "My little boy, what happened?"
No one said a thing as the knights moved to secure the area.
It was as if they wouldn't let a single thing past them as they moved the wyverns into position.
The count was surprised to see this, but that look of surprise quickly disappeared as he knew that whatever I had planned wasn't over yet. Even though Henry had been knocked out, it seemed that this wasn't over yet.
Lily looked at the count as if she wanted him to do something about this, but the count just shook his head before turning to look at me. The way that he looked at me, it was as if he wanted to see how I would handle this situation.
Lily also looked at me, but gone was the gentle look from before.
This time, she was looking at me with hostility.
This wasn't strange since I had gone out alone with Henry and he came back unconscious.
I was just a son in law while Henry was the son that she gave birth to.
But I wasn't bothered at all by this as I came down from Joan with Cecilia.
I just walked over to Rose's side before turning to the count to say, "I've given him a bit of punishment as I said."
The count was surprised to hear me say this, but he didn't say anything as he gave a nod. But the count soon knitted his brows again when he heard what I had to say next.
"However, this isn't the only punishment that I will be giving him."
The count deeply knitted his brows as he looked at me in silence for a bit, but he eventually gave a nod and gave a sigh.
One of the knights went over to where Lily was as she held Henry's head in her lap.
He didn't care at all about her protests as he grabbed Henry by the arm and lifted him up.
Lily looked like there was more that she wanted to say, but the count had stepped forward to take her by the arm and pulled her over to the side. When she looked at him with a displeased look, he just shook his head with a stern look.
When she saw the stern look that the count had, she had no choice but to fall silent.
Though the way that she looked at me was still filled with hostility.
The knight just waited until this was over before raising his hand to slap Henry across the face.
"Pa!"
There was a crisp slap sound that rang out before a scream of pain rang out.
"What's happening? Who slapped me?"
Those were Henry's first words when he woke up. He looked around himself and fell silent just as quickly as he realized what the situation was.
Then he turned to the count and said, "Father, save me!"
The way that he said this was just like a spoiled child would say it, making it clear how he had been treated previously.
The way that he said this seemed like this wasn't his first time saying this.
Lily also looked at the count as if she was expecting him to say something, but the count just gave a sigh and shook his head.
After a long silence, he turned to me to ask, "What else do you have planned for him?"
Both Henry and Lily looked at the count with a shocked look on their faces.
Even I couldn't help being a bit surprised by how forward the count was being.
I thought that there was a part of him that would hesitate to punish this child that he pampered, but it seemed that he had already made up his mind. It seemed that the count didn't have his title just because of inheritance, he was someone that could do what was necessary.
In that case, there was no reason for me to keep them in suspense.
I gave a nod to Shaka and he left the blockade.
Five minutes later, there was a group that was tied up who was brought back by Shaka and a cloaked figure.
This cloaked figure was Shadow Five.
As for who the ones that were tied up were…
The moment that Henry saw these people, he couldn't help revealing a shocked look.
Lily was also surprised since she recognized these people, but she looked at Henry with a concerned look.
That was because these people were the ones that often hung around her son.
Once they were brought forward, I gave a nod to Shadow Five who brought out a piece of paper that she started reading from.
What was written on this piece of paper was a list of crimes that these people had committed.
There were small things such as bullying the commoners and stealing from them, but there were also serious things such as embezzling tax money and r*pe.
The people that hung out with Henry were not good people.
Among the list of crimes was the crime of attempting to attack me to force me to hand over the wyverns to them. Henry was supposed to lure me to their hideout alone and they would hold me captive until I handed over their wyverns.
The crimes against them were very clear and it was also clear that Henry was deeply involved in this matter.
The count's expression looked uglier and uglier until he finally said to Henry, "I'm stripping you of your rights of succession."
