After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 976

While the couple officially eloped and escaped the town (with Ghesso, of course), the people of Jacoba were blissfully unaware of the storm coming their way… and that the people who caused it had long gotten out of the territory.

It was the wedding day, after all. In everyone’s minds, this was a day of celebration! Today was the day Jacoba would be great again, and so would their wallets!

The wedding was set to happen in the late afternoon, but the entire territory was lively from an early hour. Some last-minute preparations were being perfected as well.

This wedding had to be perfect, after all!

However, when afternoon ticked in, the man still hadn’t gotten up! Several servants stood outside the room, wondering what they should do next.

They let him sleep in because they knew the master went hard the previous night. However, this time, they might have no choice but to wake him up.

They shivered.

Who would do the ’honors’?

The slaves, of course.

About half of Eshno’s servants were slaves, so it wasn’t difficult to get someone to wake him up. Everyone knew the master could get… violent if woken up prematurely, so no one who had their free will wanted to go inside.

Two slaves used the master keys to open the door, shakily entering the room.

They never would have thought they would find the Master’s severed head instead!!

…

It was absolute chaos, with the lord himself rushing over with no blood on his face. He gaped at the body and then the head… and confirmed that they were definitely not connected anymore.

"W-What…"

He looked at the servants, who were all kneeling down and crying. They were not sad that the man perished—some of them were even glad—but the fact that Eshno lost his head was practically a guarantee that they’d lose theirs!

"Who… what…"

At this point, Warron was incoherent.

Just an hour ago, he was already finalizing the deal and arrangement with Ester Town! This was going to be handed over to Eshno after their wedding night tomorrow. If Cassandra satisfied him enough, then he could push some more advantages for Jacoba!

He would also instruct Cassandra to assist Jacoba well even when she was in another territory—and this was something Warron did not question she would follow at all! This was a woman’s duty—especially as a noble woman!

At the time, he just thought that girl better satisfy Eshno well the next few days, or else he’d hear a lot from him!

In fact, he had already estimated earnings he’d have every month.

Now… it was all crumbling in front of his eyes and he was powerless to pull them back together.

"Who…" he gasped, feeling it harder and harder to breathe. Who would do this!? Cassandra? No! She wouldn’t dare. She definitely did not have the capability to bypass all the guards here!

In fact, to make things ’easier’ for everyone, Gill left a note on the wall in Eshno’s blood.
