"Duke Merdewing, are you willing to surrender?"
The Logue knight rode forward and asked expressionlessly.
"Wish to surrender, we wish to surrender!"
Before the Duke of Merdewing could speak, his son Charlie scrambled to the front of the Logue knight, begging.
At this time, the Silver Moon Guards had reached the end of their rope. Apart from surrendering, what other options did they have.
Knight Logue glanced at Charlie, but ignored him. He still looked at Duke Medwin, obviously feeling that Charlie, a half-child, couldn't make the decision.
At this time, the Duke of Mordiven was completely dumbfounded, his eyes were dull and empty, as if he hadn't heard the question of the Knight of Logue.
Seeing this, Kamath Merdewing had no choice but to stand up and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, my lord knight, the Duke of Merdewing is grieved because a large number of his soldiers died in battle, so... ho... ho..."
Before he finished speaking, he got stuck.
Because, a sharp sword pierced Kamais' throat.
Behind Kamais, his nephew, Duke Merdiven, who was "immersed in grief", was slowly pulling out his long sword, allowing Kamaise's body to slump to the ground.
Then, the Duke of Meredith walked up to Charlie who was stunned in place with a blank face, and before he could realize what happened, he cut the throat of his own son with a sword.
"Father... Father..."
The Logue knight looked at the tragic scene in front of him with great interest, and did not stop it.
However, when he saw the Duke of Meredith raising his sword towards his throat again, the Logue knight rode forward, knocked off the sharp sword in his hand, and said:
"Duke Merdewing, you can't die now, the Earl wants to see you."
According to what he said, he didn't stop Duke Merdevan from killing his uncle and son just now because Colin didn't intend to see them...
The Duke of Merdewin had an expression of lovelessness, he didn't speak, but he didn't resist either. He probably regarded himself as a dead person, and it's up to you to make troubles.
Upon seeing this, the Knight of Logue waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to step forward and subdue the Duke of Mordiven, and then walked towards the half-elf palace.
…
In the palace, Ke Lin was changing the dress with the help of the maid.
The little guy had some "good things" on his clothes just now, so he had to change them and wash them.
The Knight of Logue led the Duke of Merdewing into the palace, and reported in a loud voice: "My lord, the rebellion of the Silver Moon Guard has been completely suppressed, and the mastermind, the Duke of Merdewing, has also been escorted to you."
"Good job!" Colin praised, waved his hand to signal the maid to step back, and then buttoned the last few buttons, came to the Logue knight, and asked, "How are the casualties?"
"A rough estimate shows that the casualties of the Blood Cavalry Army are about 400. I need to verify the more detailed statistics."
Colin nodded in satisfaction. The casualties were not too large. It seemed that the Blood Cavalry Army had quite terrifying fighting power even in street battles where cavalry were unable to take advantage of the cavalry. This made Colin very pleased.
"Well, you go down first, maintain order in the city, and find out all the half-elves who participated in the rebellion."
"Yes, my lord!"
After the Knight of Logue saluted and left, Colin turned to Duke Merdewing.
At this time, the eyes of Duke Mordiven were dull, and his whole body exuded a lifeless and dead air. If it weren't for the lack of blood connection, Colin almost thought he was his blood slave.
"William, Her Majesty is very disappointed in you."
Duke Merdevan didn't respond.
Colin waited for a while, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he continued:
"When Her Majesty the Queen was about to give birth, she deliberately handed over the military and political power of Silvermoon City to you. To be honest, even I can't understand this trust."
Hearing this, Duke Merdevan finally moved his eyeballs, but he still didn't speak.
Ke Lin didn't care about the other party's rudeness, and continued on his own:
"I once persuaded her to distribute part of the power, lest some people with evil intentions take the opportunity to make trouble. But Her Majesty the Queen firmly told me—
'My throne was given to me by William. If he wanted to take it back, he would not have given it up in the first place. '"
Colin came to Duke Merdevan, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty really treats you as his own son!"
Duke Merdewing finally had an expression on his face. He opened his mouth a few times and hissed, "I failed His Majesty!"
Colin looked at Duke Merdewin with piercing eyes, and asked earnestly, "William, when you gave up the succession to the throne, did you already feel unwilling?"
The Duke of Merdewing shook his head, and said: "No, my lord, I know that I am stupid, even if I ascend the throne, I will not be able to lead the half-elf kingdom to prosperity.
So, when you asked me if I would give up the throne to my mother, I was actually relieved. "
"I believe you." Colin said sincerely, "And I also know that the reason why you were involved in the rebel army this time is entirely because of your son Charlie."
The sockets of Duke Mordiven's eyes turned red instantly. He didn't know whether he was thinking of his son Charlie who had just been killed by himself, or he was moved by Colin's understanding and trust.
Ke Lin saw all of this, felt a little proud in his heart, and said, "So, I decided to give you another chance."
"No!" Duke Merdewing shook his head straightly, "I have failed His Majesty's trust, and I am not worthy of your forgiveness. Now I only ask for death. Only in this way can my sins be redeemed!"
"You want to die?"
"Yes." The Duke of Merdewing raised his head and stared into Colin's eyes, as if nothing could shake the firmness in his eyes.
Ke Lin curled his lips and said, "Death is a relief, but it is also an escape. If you really want to repay His Majesty's trust and redeem your sins, you must first survive."
The Duke of Merdewing still shook his head: "I'm sorry, my lord, this world has nothing for me to miss..."
"Really?" Colin interrupted coldly, "You don't care about the Murdive family?"
The Duke of Mordiven was stunned for a while, and then he said in a low voice: "Since the Merdevan family has made a mistake, it is natural to let His Majesty the Queen deal with it. I just hope that Her Majesty will repay the innocent people in the clan for the sake of past kindness. Open your eyes…”
"Innocent?" Ke Lin sneered, "You are plotting treason and treason! How can you be innocent? Even if His Majesty kills you, no one will dare to say anything."
The face of the Duke of Merdewing turned extremely pale in an instant, and he begged tremblingly: "My lord, please be sure to persuade Your Majesty not to do this, otherwise she will definitely leave a reputation of tyranny and destroy her kindness in the hearts of all half-elven people. image..."
Colin snorted coldly and said, "William, I just said that I can give you a chance to redeem your sins, but you still want to die now?"
The Duke of Medwin hurriedly said: "My lord, I am willing to accept this opportunity. No matter what your majesty or you ask me to do, I will definitely do my best to do it for you!"
Colin took a step closer and asked, "Even if it costs you your life?"
The Duke of Mordiven was only stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly and said: "Lord Earl, I have the will to die. As long as Your Majesty is willing to give the Mordiven family a way out, then I will be willing to be smashed to pieces."
Colin nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Okay! As long as you do one thing for me, the rest of the Mordiveh family will not be held accountable."
"Please tell me."
