The Law of the Silent Gentleman

Chapter 62



Chapter 62 – Fernando’S Confession

“What?!” Giuliano grabbed the iron railing, “You don’t know? My parents talked to you all night, and you said you didn’t know?”

“Boniwell seems to be brewing some conspiracy, which is related to the Vanessa city-state and the entire Yod region, but I really don’t know. Your parents told me about the old night, and finally told me secretly that they have I can use this to force Boniwell to step down and save Vanessa. Maybe I will stay a few more days, and when they fully trust me, I will tell the truth. Unfortunately, Boniwell Nevers can’t wait that long.”

“Then why are you working with Boniwell?! You’ve been with him for a long time, haven’t you? You betrayed your own people for him?”

A deep laugh came from Fernando’s throat: “Dear…Hahaha…Dear? You said Vito and Olya are my relatives?”

“Olia is your aunt, your mother’s sister! Why are we not your relatives?”

The prisoner stopped laughing, and the pupils of his eyes suddenly burst into a venomous brilliance: “Dear ones? I don’t have such relatives! Do you know how my parents, your mother’s sister and brother-in-law died? They were going to your house You were killed by an assassin when you were a guest! The assassin clearly wanted to kill your parents, but my parents were the ones who suffered! What did they do wrong to suffer such bad luck! They couldn’t even protect their own sisters, yet they still You have the face to call yourself a ‘relative’!”

Giuliano tongue tied. He only knew that Fernando’s parents died early, but he didn’t know that there was such a secret behind it. “But… that’s not their fault…”

“Do you know how much I suffered after my parents passed away? I was only fourteen years old at the time, and the burden of the entire Yinfangsong family fell on my shoulders. There was no one trustworthy around, and they were all like wolves. ‘relatives’ and ‘friends’ coveted my family’s property. And your parents…they never helped me at all! They were busy running their own family and looked on at my plight. The family will not collapse! I was fourteen years old!”

He stared at Giuliano: “What about you? What were you doing when you were fourteen years old? Be a well-behaved noble young master, don’t care about worldly affairs! I knew then, Vito and Olya, they and other People are no different. Because the Fangsong family didn’t lend a helping hand when it was the most difficult time, and when I grew the family, they would brazenly come over to marry me! But, they are willing to approach me, and I am also happy to be with them Hypocrisy and obscenity, but after the age of fourteen, I no longer regard them as relatives!”

“Nonsense! My parents are not that kind of people!”

“Ha! You are their sweetheart, how could they show you their dirty side? But I know it all!”

“You hate them so much that you want to destroy our entire family?”

Fernando sneered: “You’re wrong. I don’t hate them. I just treat them as strangers who have nothing to do with me. I don’t care about their lives. They’d better not bother me.”

“Then why did you help Boniwell? What did he promise you?”

“I’m not helping him, I’m helping myself. The only reason I’m doing this is because I’m the same person as your parents—only caring about the safety of those close to me, and disregarding the lives of others. I Willing to respond internally for Boniwell because he blackmailed me by imprisoning the person closest to me. For the sake of that person, I had to do it. Boniwell promised me and let him go when it was done , I can save his life, and the demise of your family is irrelevant to me, so why can’t I do anything?”

“You… Crazy! A person like you actually has a ‘close person’? A joke!”

Fernando looked at him gloomily: “Both Vito and Olya can find each other, why is it so strange that I have a few cronies? Well, it’s better to say that he is thousands of times better than your parents. Time to lend a helping hand to me, it was he who helped me revitalize the Yinfangsong family, although the means were not very honorable.”

Giuliano’s thoughts turned. People close to Fernando… were imprisoned by the governor of Vanessa, Boniwell… Wait, didn’t the pirate “Mr. B” who kept correspondence with Fernando send a letter saying that he was going to the waters near Vanessa? Could it be that he is what Fernando called “a close person”?

“You mean the pirate ‘Mr. B’?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Fernando’s eyes: “That’s right. Since Suveta got my letter, you will know it too.”

“In fact, I stole those letters and ledgers.”

“You? You work with Suveta?”

“What’s the matter, as long as I can get revenge, I can cooperate with anyone.”

Fernando laughed: “Hahaha, Giuliano, so you are just like me! We really deserve to be cousins with the same blood. You hate me for helping Boniwell destroy your entire family, and you yourself are helping Su Wei The tower wronged others and destroyed the name of ‘Yin Fang Song’!”

“That’s your own fault!”

“Yes, I deserve what I deserve. I admit to colluding with pirates, colluding with foreign enemies, and reselling stolen goods. If I am convicted of these crimes, it is my own fault. But I never hired murderers to kill Suweita! Everything is Suweita’s conspiracy He sent assassins to kill himself, and then pretended to be a victim to frame me. You didn’t see his true colors? Hahaha, Giuliano, I’m about to laugh. You think you’re talking to Suveta’ Collaboration’? Big mistake! You’re completely taken advantage of by him!”

Giuliano’s face turned red and turned pale: “Do you think sowing dissension is effective? I won’t fall for your scheme! Suveta has no grievances with you, why did you frame you? On the contrary, you must hate Suveta for destroying the pirates , will hire a murderer to kill him!”

“The only thing I care about is Barsano, aka ‘Mr. B’. He was arrested by Vanessa long before Suveta went to war, and Suveta didn’t hurt him. Why should I hate Suveta? On the contrary It is our honorable admiral who hates me to the bone! The general election of the consul is about to begin, and all members are divided into two factions, one is the aristocratic faction, who advocates supporting a Zenodia with a deep family connection according to tradition Nobles, the other faction is the military officer faction, mostly emerging nobles in the navy who have obtained titles by virtue of martial arts, and advocate supporting people with military backgrounds like Suweita. I am one of the candidates for the noble faction, that is to say, I am Suveta is a stumbling block on the way to the consul, of course he has to get rid of me. But he can’t kill me blatantly, he can only rely on other means to deprive me of my title and rights, and exile me so that I can’t participate in the election .”

“You slander others with red lips and white teeth! Do you have evidence?”

“There is no evidence. Unfortunately, everything is my speculation. I can’t produce evidence to prove Suveta’s conspiracy, and I can’t produce evidence to prove my innocence. Believe it or not. But don’t you know how to think about it? Treason and collaborating with the enemy are much more serious than murder, and I even confessed to a felony, so why not admit to a misdemeanor?”

Giuliano was in disarray. He didn’t like Suvetar, he admitted it, but he never doubted Suvetar’s words. The general sent assassins to assassinate himself, and then blamed Fernando? This is ridiculous too…and there is no proof at all! But after the assassination at the dance party, Su Weita’s behavior was really abnormal. He almost lost his life. How could he be so calm and composed? Giuliano originally thought it was because Suveta had fought in the battlefield all the year round and was used to watching life and death, but could it be because he had expected it? Everything is directed and acted by him, so he is so calm?

No no, Fernando is old and cunning, how can you believe his words? It is not appropriate to talk to him today. Go back and change your mind first. Your thinking always follows Fernando, and you will definitely fall into the trap he wove with words.

Just as Giuliano was about to say a few harsh words, the whole ship suddenly shook violently, as if the hull had hit something. Fernando’s chains rattled and Giuliano nearly dropped his lantern. Did it hit the rocks? The crew of the “Rising Moon” are experienced, so it’s not possible… Or is the storm already approaching?

He gave Fernando a savage look and hurried to the stairs. The cell guard waited anxiously outside. There were chaotic footsteps and shouts from the upper deck, and Giuliano could barely make out the words “weapon” and “all”. The crew appears to be assembling urgently.

“Your Excellency, you are back!” The guard hurriedly greeted him.

“What’s the matter? Is it a storm?”

“Worse than a storm!” shouted the guard, then looked around the cell secretly, leaned close to Giuliano’s ear, as if afraid of being heard, and said in a low voice: “We have encountered pirates!”
