A big man with a thick back stood up in the back row on the left, drew his sword and rushed towards this side, but several people standing next to him stopped him in a hurry.
Lorist stared at the big man coldly: "Earl Aslan? Hehe, don't say that your Aslan family is incompatible with us, and our Norton family will never let your family go. I believe what your brother has done. You don't know, since your Aslan family dares to challenge the dignity of the Norton family, then wait for the angry bear's revenge."
"Your Highness, what do you think I should do with this Viscount Aslan?" Lorist turned around and kicked the ball to Second Highness again.
The Second Highness's face was livid, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, "Earl Norton, first of all, I would like to apologize to you. What happened in your territory was not at my behest. As the upper lord of the Norton family, I am very busy It was indeed my negligence to notice these small contradictions in the Norton family's territory flawlessly.
But Viscount Aslan is indeed a tax inspector appointed by the kingdom, even if he committed a crime, he should be punished by the court of the kingdom. What's more, he is a nobleman, so you insult him like this is really against the noble demeanor. But I can understand your anger. After all, Viscount Aslan offended the dignity of the Norton family. So, now you hand him over to me, and I will deal with him. That's all for now. "
The Second Highness thought that he had already compromised, and he said this very beautifully, which gave Lorist a good step to step down. Everyone regards peace as the most important thing, so don't make noise over these trivial matters.
But the Second Highness didn't expect that when he said this, the whole palace suddenly became cold, and everyone's eyes became a little strange.
Lorist laughed loudly, the laughter echoed in the palace, it sounded so harsh and arrogant.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that the rights and interests of our lord are sacred and inviolable? If Viscount Aslan's actions can be easily let go, does that mean that the royal family can send people to attack him at will in the future?" The lord is dictating and acting recklessly? Just because I brought Viscount Aslan before you because he is the tax inspector appointed by you does not mean that you have the right to dispose of him... "
Lorist's words were very straightforward. I'm giving you face because you are my superior lord. Although Viscount Aslan is the tax inspector you appointed, he offended the dignity of the Norton family and must be punished. Unless you take the responsibility and admit that it was your instruction, then everyone will simply turn their backs and become enemies of life and death from then on. Otherwise, how to deal with Viscount Aslan is a matter for the Norton family. Your Second Highness only has the right to make suggestions but not to make decisions.
The Second Highness was a little bit annoyed, because he said the wrong thing again, although the nobles present looked up to him, but what he said just now did touch the bottom line of the nobles in the territory. The best end for Viscount Aslan is to be hanged by the lord. If a lord is not in his own territory, and the tax inspector appointed by the superior can do whatever he wants, then all the nobles in the territory will refuse the recruitment of the superior. She nestled in her own territory and did not go out.
There are things that can be done but not spoken about. Just like what Lorist said, the rights and interests of the lord are sacred and inviolable. This is the consensus of the nobles of the entire Galintia continent.
As the superior, the Second Highness can rely on the powerful military power in his hands to coerce the nobles of the kingdom to obey orders, just like the former Grand Duke of the Northland wielded the stick of the Northland Legion and seized money from the nobles of the Northland. Or, like the second prince, force the nobles under him to gather their private soldiers together to obey the command. But these methods can only be carried out in private. The law of the jungle in the jungle is also applicable to the nobles. If you can't handle it well, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky.
Only like what the Second Highness said in public just now, it was almost as if he raised his hand into the bowl of the nobles in the territory to grab food. For the nobles in the territory, they oppressed the people in the territory and fought each other to the death, which was all their own business. However, His Royal Highness's treatment of Viscount Aslan has already touched the cheese of the nobles in the territory.
If the Second Highness sincerely apologized and begged Lorist to call him Viscount Aslan and promise to deal with it according to the wishes of the Norton family, then maybe Lorist would give Viscount Aslan to him as he wished. At that time, he can contact Lorist in private and ask the Aslan family to pay a large amount of money for sin and life in exchange for the understanding of the Norton family to save Viscount Aslan's life. After all, no one would be troubled by money, coupled with the face of the Second Highness and the peace of mind, the matter can be resolved satisfactorily, and everyone who knows will praise the wit and tact of the Second Highness.
But it should never be changed. During this period of time, the Second Highness had an army of 300,000 troops in his hands, and he was used to being strong. He took Lorist as a submissive noble under him for granted, and said what was in his heart without going through his brain. This is all right, not only does it mean that he will insert his hand into the territorial jurisdiction of the nobles in the territory, and attract the attention of the nobles under him, but these words will also force the Norton family to turn against him.
Lorist has already made it very clear that I brought Viscount Aslan before you to deal with it to save you face. Since you want to cover up, don't blame us for being rude.
"Then what do you want? Earl Norton..." The Second Highness said every word, gnashing his teeth with hatred in his heart.
"Simple, we are very dissatisfied with His Highness's proposal, so we can only follow the rules of the Norton family." Lorist made a throat-slitting motion, and Farea behind him pulled out his long sword, and lightly swiped it on the ground. The Viscount Aslan suddenly fell into two sections...
The audience is silent...
No one expected that Lorist would order the beheading of Viscount Aslan in public, and this was still at the banquet welcoming him.
Several screams rang out, it was the female relatives of the nobles who fell into a coma after seeing the bloody scene...
With a bang, the saber in Earl Aslan's hand fell to the ground. He swayed and looked at his younger brother whose head was separated from the ground, and stared at Lorist fiercely: "Very well, you just wait for the Aslan family Revenge!"
After speaking, Earl Aslan strode out of the palace.
The golden cup in his hand has been changed by the Second Highness, this is a slap in the face in public! Lorist resolutely ordered the beheading of Viscount Aslan in front of the Second Highness, not saving any face for the Second Highness. The Second Highness only felt his face was burning hot, and his whole body was trembling. At this moment, he was out of control.
"Madman, are the members of the Norton family crazy?" This is the thought in the hearts of the nobles headed by Marquis Red...
"Wow, decisive, I like it so much..." This is Princess Kerry, and her eyes have become watery at this moment...
"Bang" His Royal Highness smashed the golden cup on the table and stood up: "Earl Norton, you are so presumptuous, you actually killed Viscount Aslan in front of me, did you put the Antinac royal family on the table?" In your eyes, are you still the lord of the kingdom?"
Lorist did not show any weakness. Instead, he took two steps forward and stared at the Second Highness: "The Norton family has always been loyal to the Krissen royal family, and has never slackened their responsibilities. The empire is now torn apart, and the Norton family still inherits the Krissen royal family." The Antinac royal family of the royal family is orthodox. I accept your canonization from Your Highness. In the Northland and the traitorous Grand Duke of the Northland, the two princes fought repeatedly. Did the Antinac royal family give us any support
Unexpectedly, we came all the way to have an audience, only to find that our territory has been ruined in a mess. Cats and dogs are running amok in our territory, just because we are not in the territory? Don't forget, Second Highness, the children of the nobles forcibly occupied the manor in our territory. You said that the children were messing around, and we let them go for your sake. The head of your army led troops to invade my family territory, tied up the mayor who managed the territory, and extorted money. You said that he violated military discipline and dealt with soldiers according to soldiers, and we followed your order.
But now the tax inspector you appointed took advantage of us not in the territory to treat himself as a new lord to oppress our people and stir up civil unrest, which almost got out of hand, and you still want to protect him. Then, Second Highness, do you take our Norton family seriously? Have you not regarded us as nobles of the kingdom? What on earth are you trying to prevent us from exercising our lord's just rights? "
Uh... His Highness the Second Highness became tongue-tied and speechless. Yes, Lorist has given him a lot of face. The first two times he let go of the noble children and the golden knight Feiwenmante according to his instructions, and the dead Viscount Aslan did better than the previous two groups. What's more, Lorist's refusal to let him go is justifiable, and the Norton family will lose face in the aristocracy if it is really done according to what the Second Highness said. It is a matter of the family's reputation and dignity. No wonder Lorist would rather Flip.
But the anger in the heart of the Second Highness is getting stronger and stronger. You have maintained the reputation and dignity of the Norton family, so where will I put my face? The Second Highness glared at Lorist, and Lorist also stared at the Second Highness, there seemed to be a faint thunderbolt between the eyes of the two...
A figure suddenly stood in front of the Second Highness. It was a tall and well-dressed old man in his fifties. He slowly pulled out the sword in his hand: "My lord, I don't want to get involved in the dispute between you and Your Highness. I don't want to comment on who is right or wrong. But I will never allow anyone to draw a sword and hurt others recklessly in front of His Highness. Please step aside, I must let your family knights understand what is superior and inferior, what is etiquette and what is the rule... "
"Who are you?" Lorist turned his gaze to the old man.
The old man looked at Lorist contemptuously: "Please step aside, my lord, I don't want to hurt you. I am the enshrined of the royal family, great swordsman David Clemento."
The old man puffed out his chest after registering, as if he really wanted to see Lorist's frightened expression, and hurriedly begging him for forgiveness.
Oh, that handsome David's dad? Didn't you say that the young ones came out old? Labor and management haven't moved your boy, what are you doing out there
Lorist glanced at the Second Highness, but saw that he sat down with a relaxed expression, and there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth...
You bastard, this is trying to get rid of me in a different way, isn't it? Okay, let's wait and see who has the last laugh. Lorist felt ruthless in his heart, but here he also pulled out his ceremonial sword inch by inch.
"Is the great swordsman amazing? If you want to teach my knight a lesson, you have to pass me first." Lorist spat in front of the old man.
The old man blushed immediately: "Boy, how dare you be rude to me!"
Spitting phlegm in front of others is a kind of contempt and insult. The old man really doesn't understand why the kid in front of him, who is not yet at the silver rank, dares to be so rude to himself, a great swordsman, but this does not prevent him from giving this arrogant A lesson for my lord Earl, a lesson that will always be remembered.
"Old man, come on, don't just stand and say harsh words." Lorist continued to provoke.
The old man scolded angrily, and swept the long sword in his hand, the spine of the sword hit Lorist's left cheek, he was preparing to slap him in the face, if he hit this time, his face would be swollen or not, at least his teeth would fall out half.
The ceremonial saber is not as good as the special saber that Lorist is used to, but it is enough to deal with a first-level great swordsman, especially this old man who is still contemptuous of fighting Lorist.
The Second Highness sat down very calmly, very well, Locke, just now you took advantage of it, I can't do anything about you. But I can still use force to force you to submit under my feet. Do you think that the Norton family has a few golden knights? Frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know how many more golden knights I have than you, and I also have a great swordsman.
I will use the great sword master to teach your knights a lesson, to let you understand that you have nothing to rely on in front of me, not to mention the 300,000 army, you are not an opponent with just your own strength. It’s not five years ago now, when your family’s armed forces were indeed powerful, but you were just a family, and I was a kingdom. You are asking for trouble to face the Great Sword Master. You really don't know what to do. The Great Sword Master will teach you how to be a man every minute.
Then, the Second Highness immediately stood up again, not only him, but also the nobles who attended the banquet all made surprised sounds. It was Clemento, the great swordsman who was full of confidence, who was taught how to be a man every minute. He was clumsy left and right in the attack of Lorist's lightning, thunder and lunatic tiger. , anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has fallen into a disadvantage and will soon lose.
Farea, El, Jim, and the guards of the Norton family standing in the middle looked at the great swordsman with sympathy in their eyes. It's normal to be embarrassed in front of others, but to be arrogant in front of their own lord. The sword master's airs will suffer a lot, and will leave a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life. Don't you see that Viscount Christopher? He is also a first-level great swordsman, and even adults are afraid of him when they compare swords with him. At the beginning, he can resist a hundred moves, but the result is that the time is shorter and shorter. In the end, he can't even block forty moves. Calling adults perverted...
With a sound of "铛", the two swords clashed, and the sword master's long sword flew high and landed in front of the table of His Highness the Second Highness. And Lorist slapped the old man's face with his ceremonial sword: "Great swordsman? Hehe, you still want to teach my knights what is etiquette with this little ability, and come to me for revenge when you reach the level of that old man in Galinan." Bar."
"Have you fought against Galinan?" The old man was taken aback. The great sword master of Calinan was known as the half-step peak, and he was the most confident sword master in the former Krissen Empire to be promoted to the sword master. He had a great reputation.
"He died at the hands of my family's armed forces." Lorist said casually, "We defeated the second prince's 100,000 army and killed the great swordsman named Lu Yinsi. The second prince fled back and killed him." I sent this Calinan sword master to assassinate me, but in the end I died in the hands of our family's armed forces."
"It's impossible!" The Second Highness exclaimed, and the nobles present were also talking about it. It may be possible to defeat the 100,000 army of the second prince, but it is really hard to believe that the two great sword masters next to the second prince are killed. Could it be that the great sword masters are so stupid to obediently let your family arm themselves Siege? He has feet but can run.
"It's been almost a year and you haven't received any detailed news yet? I admire you to the core. Do you really think that with an army of 300,000 people, you can push to unify the empire all the way? It's just a dream." Lorist Spit in my heart.
"It's nothing impossible. I hung up the old man's body. There should be only a few rotten bones left." Lorist turned around and said, "Come on, bring our evidence. This is our evidence." A congratulatory gift to the royal family, let everyone see who is serving the kingdom loyally!"
