Enjoying the gazes of everyone watching, Kan Suduo felt a little ecstatic.
Especially the clear gaze belonging to Miss Vera made Kahn's face flush with excitement and tremble all over.
The heir of the Su Duo family suddenly felt that if he went to invite Miss Vera to dance again at this time, maybe he would not be declined like before.
He feels he is a hero now.
However, Colin looked at him like he was looking at an idiot.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that this guy came to be the "early bird".
All the nobles present showed excited expressions when they saw Cavalier Kahn stepping forward to question Marquis Charles.
Except for one person.
This person is Kahn's sister, Cynthia Sudor, whom Colin called a crazy woman.
She looked at her younger brother with horror!
Why
Why did this banquet, which was supposed to make the Su Duo family famous, turn into what it is now
If possible, she just wanted to seal her brother's mouth, lock him in the basement, and never let him out.
Cynthia knew very well that perhaps the Marquis of Charles had really aroused public outrage, but after all, he was the first heir of the St. Hilde family.
My younger brother is only a viscount heir, what qualifications does he have to question him
No, her brother, stupid as he was, was by no means a man with such guts.
Otherwise, when Cynthia leads the army to recover Ice Rock City, he will not continue to hide in Falling Eagle City.
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned to look at Earl Uman.
It seemed that it was this good uncle who whispered something in his younger brother's ear just now that Kahn stepped forward rashly.
Cynthia felt a chill in her heart, and she suddenly felt that the future of the Su Duo family seemed to be bleak.
"Knight Kahn, you are right!" Marquis Charles didn't care about the other party's offense at all.
He took a deep breath and asked sincerely: "So, what kind of punishment do you think can offset my previous mistakes?"
Kahn didn't seem to have expected that the Marquis of Charles would be so "talkative". Seeing the dignified Marquis waiting for his "judgment" in such a low voice, Kahn trembled even more.
But after the excitement, Kahn was also a little confused.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say what kind of punishment was suitable for Marquis Charles.
Quietly turning his head, Kahn looked at his uncle, Earl Uman, with pleading eyes.
But Earl Uman lowered his head at this time, as if he didn't know the changes in the outside world.
Kahn's heart sank immediately.
But just when he was about to back down, he saw Vera's eyes again.
In Kahn's view, it was a look full of encouragement, appreciation, and even admiration!
So, Kahn Knight is full of power again!
Even the pimple on the tip of the nose was faintly glowing red.
For a moment, he felt that he was super brave!
"Nobility!" Kahn's sharp voice echoed in the hall, "As punishment, you should voluntarily give up the title of Marquis!"
"Wow—"
Everyone was stunned.
Even Marquis Charles, who has always been outstanding in acting, didn't know how to react for a while.
Colin looked at Kahn, already full of pity.
This is a look of caring for the mentally handicapped.
And Cynthia was already full of despair at this time.
She doesn't know whether the title of Marquis Charles can be kept, but it seems that the Su Duo family's title of Viscount will be lost.
The title of Marquis Charles is vain, representing his qualifications as the first heir to the Duke of St. Hilde.
It also represents the face of the Duke of St. Hilde!
Asking the Marquis of Charles to give up his title is no longer punishing Charles, but hitting the Duke of St. Hilde in the face!
It is forcing the Lord of the North to admit his mistake!
It's forcing the palace!
The music finally stopped.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was so stagnant that it seemed to be suffocating.
All eyes were on the Marquis Charles and Cavalier Kahn.
Kahn Cavaliers originally enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of the audience, but now, he feels like a pain in the back.
Cold sweat fell drop by drop.
Kahn once again looked for the eyes of the goddess in his heart—Vera.
But Vera no longer looked at him now.
Instead, he looked at his brother, the Marquis Charles, with worried eyes.
Kahn's face paled instantly, as if he finally realized what a stupid thing he had done.
The face of Marquis Charles on the opposite side was also very ugly at this time.
He also didn't know how to deal with it.
He could not agree to the request of giving up his title, let alone agree to it.
This is no longer a matter of honor or disgrace for him alone.
Instead, it involved his father's face, and even the prestige of the St. Hilde family.
The majestic Lord of the Northern Territory, when is it his turn to let a group of low-ranking nobles dictate his heir
Marquis Charles didn't look at Kahn, who looked disturbed. This idiot was just a gun that was pushed out.
His gaze crossed Kahn and slowly swept across the audience.
But I didn't see any friendly and supportive eyes.
At this time, he also gradually realized that this turmoil was probably premeditated.
Not only for himself, but also for his father.
Then he can't back down!
If you take a step back, you will be smashed to pieces!
Therefore, Marquis Charles took a few steps forward, passed Kahn, and faced the nobles at the venue, with a serious expression on his face: "Anyone who thinks that I should give up my title, please stand up!"
He didn't want to deal with the puppet Kahn, but wanted to force out the real instigator behind the scenes.
Moreover, he didn't believe that the St. Hilde family had ruled the northern border for thousands of years. Could it be that a fiasco would immediately threaten to disintegrate
The audience was silent.
The St. Hilde family's prestige for thousands of years is not a simple talk in the northern border.
So, the banquet became awkward again.
After a long time, a voice finally broke the situation.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Lord Marquis! This kid Kahn is still young and ignorant. If there is any offense between words, I hope the Marquis will forgive him."
It was Count Uman who stood up.
However, he did not continue to target Marquis Charles, but instead excused Kahn.
Also gave the Marquis Charles a step down.
Colin was suddenly a little puzzled. Could it be that the Earl of Uman really devoted his allegiance to the Duke of St. Hilde and did not participate in this conspiracy against the Marquis of Charles
But soon, Earl Uman's next sentence dispelled Colin's thoughts just now:
"Master Marquis Garcia, what kind of punishment do you think is suitable for the mistakes that Marquis Charles committed before?"
When Marquis Garcia heard this, it seemed that he had just woken up from the state of leisurely watching.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he got up slowly, walked slowly to the front of the stage, and stood side by side with Marquis Charles.
The Marquis of Charles had to bow slightly, stepped back half a step, and gave way to the C position.
Marquis Charles will not back down against Cavalier Kahn, Earl Uman, or any of the nobles present.
However, Marquis Garcia is an exception.
Because, the commander of the Black Cavalry Army really has the strength to turn the table!
Marquis Charles is not sure now, does his own uncle want to flip the table
Was all this in front of me the result of those northern nobles who were dissatisfied with themselves, or was it secretly planned by the Marquis of Garcia
If it's the former, Charles is actually not too worried.
if the latter one…
"Charles." Marquis Garcia finally spoke.
"Uncle." Marquis Charles lowered his head slightly, anxiously waiting for the trial.
"The lives of 200,000 northern soldiers, what do you give to redeem?"
Boom!
The Marquis Charles was struck by lightning.
The whole person stood there in a daze.
What else could he atone for
Marquis Charles raised his head in astonishment, and looked at his own uncle in shock.
It was like meeting him for the first time.
…
Colin watched this scene from a distance, and a word flashed in his mind—
See you in the picture!
