BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23: Deliciously Eating The Merchant’S Daughter?
The man who looked here was probably the brother of that girl named Kohali. Their hair color differed, but their facial features were kind of similar.
I looked at Kohali. Even though she appeared almost like an adult, her large eyes not fitting her age was impressive. I could feel her childishness from her attitude of entrusting everything to her brother without being able to do anything herself. Seeing that she was wearing a beautiful dress even though she\'d just been driven out from their house, she lacked a sense of danger. I would say that she was a sheltered young girl who grew up in a wealthy house without ever experiencing any suffering.
Curly hairs were common in the Empire and the Kingdom, and girls with silky hair were rare, but Kohali had a beautiful straight hair. The contrast between her dark silver hair hanging down and covering her small chest and her deep red eyes was beautiful.
「I will confiscate the residence. Leave behind everything with value.」
If it was in the previous world, I might\'ve gotten questioned for taking the properties of the family members even though the one who received the punishment of confiscation was only their parent.
However, on paper, everything belonged to the head of the family. In other words, if the family head received a seizure of property as punishment, naturally the family\'s properties would be confiscated too.
「Our house…?! Brother!」
「Don\'t cry, Kohali. We\'ve indeed lost everything including our business, but let\'s do our best together! Just like our father back when he was young, let\'s start peddling. Then we\'ll be able to have a house like this one again.」
Kohali buried her head on her brother\'s chest with her shoulders trembling. Seeing the intimacy between the brother and sister, I felt excited. I wonder why?
I wish I could return to the castle and admire Fanny…
「Is this confiscated too, sir?」
Kohali\'s brother showed a small bag hanging on his waist. Judging from the rattling sounds, gold coins perhaps?
When I received the bag and looked inside it, there were around ten gold coins used mostly in the Kingdom and the Empire, and three cylinder-shaped minerals. It was the size of an AAA battery in my previous world. It was transparent, but the light that passed through it was casting a rainbow shadow. It was a beautiful gemstone.
「Hm? Is this perhaps a Manal mineral?」
「Oh, you know about it? That is a Manal crystal. A Manal vein has been discovered recently.」
「Hoh. So this is a Manal crystal. I\'ve read it in a book.」
This would be a good thing to relieve my boredom. I\'d decided to write a letter to my father to ask him to share some to me. I confiscated the small bag.
「Please excuse us. Let\'s go, Kohali.」
I called out towards the two who were about to leave the room as if it was over. There was still a property.
「Wait.」
「Is there anything else?」
「You two still have something valuable, don\'t you? Leave it behind.」
Kohali\'s brother made a troubled expression and shook his head. He most likely didn\'t have coins or jewels on him.
「Sir, I\'m sorry. We\'re already penniless, and we don\'t have anything left.」
They tried to leave the room after saying that, so I gave them a final warning.
「If you leave this room, I\'ll consider it that you\'re trying to walk off with the valuables, and I\'ll execute you two.」
The two twitched and stopped moving. Seeing the brother turned with an expressionless face, no doubt he thought that they got caught by an annoying person.
「We don\'t really have anything with value left on us.」
「What\'s that?」
I pointed at the brother.
「What are you referring to?」
「I\'m referring to that coat with beautiful patterned embroidery.」
A fine and delicate embroidery using a black thread was attached to the bright yellow fabric that was dyed extravagantly. His clothes looked more expensive than the annual income of the commoners.
「I understa— no, can you please at least spare my clothing? please show mercy.」
He was willing to remove his coat, but he seemed to have noticed of my intention midway while speaking. He went down on his knees and bowed low.
「…Brother?」
Kohali looked like she didn\'t understand the situation. She was looking strangely at her brother who suddenly went down on his knees. I ignored her and looked down on her brother.
「I won\'t repeat myself.」
I had no interest watching a man strip. If I had, the story would\'ve become \'The Marquis\' Eldest Son\'s BL Story\'.[1]
「Ku…」
Frustrated, Kohali\'s brother stripped his coat off. He then folded it neatly and placed it on the floor.
「Your wearing a good leather belt, aren\'t you? Is the design gold?」
「Ahh, Brother. Brother… why are you…」
「Kohali, don\'t look!」
Again, I had no interest in watching a man strip.
「Hmph. It seems like you\'ve finally given all your valuables.」
「Please, please let us off!」
I made sure not to include Kohali\'s naked brother in my view as much as possible. I didn\'t want to see the sea slug-like thing between his legs.
「You can go now. It\'s your turn Kohali, or whatever you\'re called. It looks like you\'re wearing a fancy dress.」
「Sir! Please! Please let her off! She\'s still a pure young girl!」
Kohali finally looked liked she understood what I wanted. She was trembling with her hands on her chest.
「Is the material for that dress from Nyuneri?」
「Eeeek!」
Kohali was scared, but since her brother was kneeling on the ground naked, she couldn\'t hide anywhere.
「Please wait! Is this confiscation really permitted?!」
The naked brother stood up with his dick shaking, and then he questioned about the state of things. The brother stood up to protect his sister, how cool.
「It is permitted.」
「Then let me verify it with the council!」
I spread my mantle and showed it to Kohali\'s naked brother who had lost his temper.
「This, is…」
「Do you want to verify it with the council? It will be very interesting whether they\'d permit my Quordentz to confiscate all the properties of the merchant who had caused us harm. No doubt they would vote for it unanimously.」
Like Viscount Galliana had said, Nambonan\'s council had been moving behind the scenes, and they interfered with Quordentz\'s actions. The execution list under the peace treaty had covered only the malicious merchants, but that didn\'t mean that those not included were not guilty. Being a council member at that time was already the same as agreeing to the covert activities. There wouldn\'t be anything strange if they were to get executed.
Besides, I didn\'t violate the agreement. The seizure of the properties was included in the agreement. At most, I would be permitted to cut off her hair and sell it. Beautiful hairs would sell well, especially Kohali\'s beautiful straight hair. It would surely sell for a high price.
「It seems like you don\'t understand it. The fact that you two are still alive right now already shows our compassion.」
「That…!」
Ignoring the naked brother, I looked at Kohali who had been watching the situation. I raised a finger, and pointed it.
「I\'m confiscating all the properties. That dress looks like its a valuable.」
