<h4>Chapter 701 - The Gustav Family''s End 2</h4>


    Gustavs felt likemitting suicide on the spot.


    For people like them, showing off and living a wealthy noble ss life was everything!


    And so if anyone took away these things, it was better if they jumped into the ocean and drowned!


    How were they to survive now?


    For Gustav, the worst thing was that they could only stay in the Capital.


    So with his new peasant status, wouldn''t his friendsugh at him.


    Even his enemies would bully him when they had the chance.


    .


    Landon ced the doc.u.ment close to Gustav''s face.


    And the moment he saw all 3 official Arcadinian seals on the doc.u.ment, they knew that it wasn''t fake.


    Dammit!


    Didn''t that mean that Landon had already been aware of their journey down here?


    If that''s the case, then wouldn''t it also mean that by the time he left the Capital, Alec was actually busy fighting this new king?


    The fight must''ve happened right after they left months ago.


    And if that''s the case, then that also meant that when the new king won, he had also known of their n and had quickly sent his men to catch up to them and bypass them on the road to Baymard.


    So this new ruler and Landon must''ve known of his and Alec''s ns.


    Or else, howe there was an agreed doc.u.ment already?


    He had spent 4 months and 3 weeks travelling in a rxed manner to get to Baymard.


    Of course, it would have been 4 months and 1 week if they didn''t spend several days visiting some cities.


    This meant that their enemy caught up to them during that time and even arrived in Baymard before they did.


    Gustav felt like a fool when he thought of his original ns.


    F***!


    He had been yed.


    Of course, he was thinking too much!


    Landon had also been surprised by their visit.


    And after he saw their drama through the system''s monitors, he decided to make his move fast.


    Yup!


    That night he warped himself to Arcadina''s Capital and saw William face to face.


    .


    It all happened like a dream.


    William was so shocked to see Landon in the Capital.


    But Landon said some made-up story and told William to keep his visit a secret for the time being.


    Of course, he already created his own cassette using the system.


    And since William already had a sr TV, he yed the whole thing for William to watch while telling him about Lucy''s past.


    William already knew most of it, but Landon''s info was more in-depth and detailed than his.


    And the fact that he regarded Lucy as his little sister also made his blood boil too.


    As per the treaty, Landon had to discuss matters concerning Arcadina''s criminals with William.


    So both men came out with this punishment since Lucy adamantly refused to kill them.


    That was how Landon got the agreement.


    And as for the so-called Arcadinian spies sent to monitor the Gustavs, they didn''t exist.


    Landon had ced trackers on them.


    So he would know just where they were at any given time.


    And if they tried to escape or settle down in a ce other than the Capital, then he would make his move and frighten them so much that they won''t run away.


    All they needed to do now was to live an honest peasant life and that was that.


    Of course another reason why he wanted them in the Capital was so that they wouldn''t attempt suicide or get killed by their former enemies.


    Of course they would get bullied and whatnot.


    But if it was to the point where they were one step away from death, they would find themselves always miraculously saved.


    They would be ced in a world that he designed with nowhere else to go.


    This sort of life didn''t seem like punishment to some, but to the Gustavs... it was HELL!


    .


    "No!


    I refuse to be a smelly disgusting peasant!


    I would rather die than living like that!


    What would my friend say?


    How could I turn into an abominable peasant?"


    "You want me to work and serve just like those ves?


    No way!


    I refuse!


    I want to be a noble!"


    "Lucy, you b**ch!


    This is your doing, isn''t it?


    Just because you are jealous of my beauty, you decided to make me work and make my beauty fade away, right?


    Just look at my body?


    Where do you want me to work?


    In the bakery, on the fields, or being a maid?


    Work means serving someone.


    And as a breathtaking nobleman, how could I allow myself stoop so low?"


    "With my noble ss getting changed.


    What is there to live for?


    No!


    Little sister, we are sorry alright?


    Please let us be nobles again.


    I prefer to get executed with this noble ss than live around those disgusting peasants.


    Your majesty, kill me, just kill me now!"


    (-_-)


    Everyone who was watching this felt like rich noble people were really stupid.


    Was it that bad to live the life of a peasant?


    Beforeing to Baymard, many were ves who were below the peasant status.


    ves weren''t even considered as humans, but peasants were.


    So was it really that bad?


    .


    Everyone became speechless by what they saw.


    Were these people crazy?


    They were going on and on about not serving others, as if it was some taboo or something.


    Some even went as far as requesting for death just because they didn''t want others to trample on them or turn them into beggars on the streets.


    As peasants or even beggars, they were susceptible to r.a.p.e, random house murders, their poorly built homes catching on fore, theft of whatever money they made, diseases, and so so.


    One should know that even though Baymard was too safe, the other employees were not.


    Especially Arcadina that didn''t change any of its policy due to Alec not giving 2 F''s and focused on annexing Baymard.


    While other empires started changing, Arcadina remained somewhat constant through it all.


    So even though William just took over, Arcadina would still need time to adjust to change.


    change would go


    Now, the Gustavs were about to see how dangerous and shaky peasants lived.


    But of course, even though they don''t know it... they wouldn''t die.


    Sure!


    They could get beaten up, robbed and all that, but Landon would never allow them to die.


    Since they had maltreated, looked down on and considered these peasants to be disposable, then they should also walk a mile in their shoes, no?


    Especially Gustav who killed them like flies when he was angry.


    And the rest weren''t innocent too, as countless innocent maids and peasants had died in their hands as well.


    So this should be a good learning experience for them.


    Who knows, maybe they might learn a thing or two.


    .


    As for the Baymardians, they didn''t understand why their reactions were that great.


    They as former ves lived even worse lives than peasants.


    So why were these people flipping over the peasant status?


    Then did that mean that the punishment given to them was really effective?


    Sigh... people who were born into rich aristocratic noble statuses were really weird.
