"What are you doing here?"
In the study, the Marquis of Creek looked at the Norman knight who was saluting to him, and his tone was extremely cold.
The attitude of the Marquis of Creek was obviously beyond the expectations of the Norman knights, and he froze there.
Even the Marquise was puzzled.
She knew that her husband had always disliked Norman knights—of course no normal man would like his wife's illegitimate child.
But in the view of the Marquis, at least in this situation, her husband should put aside his past prejudices and accept the Norman knights.
After all, in this round of power reshuffle, the Norman knight is a rare good card!
As long as he is mastered, the Creek family will definitely be able to obtain great benefits.
"I'm here to greet my parents..." the Norman knight replied with a forced smile.
It's a pity that the Marquis of Creek still doesn't give him any face.
"I'm not your father!"
The face of the Norman knight suddenly flushed.
He thought he had already given the Marquis of Creek enough face, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't give him any face at all!
If it was before, the Norman knight would naturally have to leave in despair, not daring to refute, but now... how could the Norman knight swallow this breath!
He stood up slowly, stared at the Marquis of Creek with staring eyes, gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, Marquis Creek, today's shame, as well as past prejudices, I will firmly remember in my heart!"
After finishing speaking, the Norman knight strode out of the study, ignoring the repeated calls of the Marquis behind him to stay.
"What are you doing?" the Marchioness said to her husband angrily, "Don't you understand what Norman means at this time?"
The Marquis of Creek looked at his wife coldly, and said with disdain:
"It's just an illegitimate child, do you really regard him as the crown prince?"
"Even if he is an illegitimate child, he still has the noble blood of the San Lorenzo family in his body!" the Marquis retorted.
Seeing her husband's breathing began to be heavy, the Marquis immediately softened her tone and persuaded her earnestly: "You are not a child anymore, don't you know that self-esteem and face are ridiculous in front of interests
And you also agreed to let me be Reinhardt's lover back then, why are you trying to make things difficult for Norman now? Under the current situation, Norman's identity is of great use to us!
I have already contacted several nobles who... ”
"Look at this first." The Marquis of Creek interrupted his wife's persuasion, and handed over a letter.
"What's this?"
"The news from Dongquan Town." Marquis Creek sneered, "After reading it, you will know how ridiculous I was just now."
The Marquise had no choice but to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart and opened the letter.
"Prince Lexi died at the hands of the orcs? How is this possible?" After reading a few lines, the Marquis exclaimed, "Isn't the only skull-crusher in the sanctuary of the orcs already dead? How could they Can you kill Prince Leahy? Could it be that it wasn't a small group of orcs that attacked Dongquan Town, but an army of orcs?"
"Keep reading." Marquis Creek said lightly.
The Marquise had no choice but to lower her head again, but immediately, the expression on her face became more and more exciting. After reading a letter, she was completely dumbfounded.
But immediately, she came to her senses, shaking her head and shouting, "Impossible! This is impossible! These are all fake news..."
"Fake news?" Marquis Creek snorted, and pushed the other letters on the table towards his wife, "As the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, do you think I don't know how to distinguish the authenticity of the information?"
The Marquise picked up the letter in front of her, only to realize that it reported similar information. Therefore, unless Colin had a way to let the intelligence system of the entire empire fabricate false news for him, what she just saw was the truth.
It's just that this fact is really hard for her to accept...
After a long while, the Marquise finally said in a dazed voice:
"So... Prince Lexi should not have died at the hands of orcs, but... Colin Angelet? But, Colin Angelet, how... how could he be a paladin..."
The Marquis Creek leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and said:
"Who knows? Maybe he is a descendant of a paladin family left behind. However, these are not important.
What's important is that now the Guardian of the North has both prestige, strength, and power enough to influence half of the empire. Hehe, you actually think that his students are helpless little ones who can be manipulated at will. kid? "
The Marquise stood there in a daze, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and the ambition that had just risen before also dissipated like a light smoke.
"Then... when will Colin Angelet arrive in Yulong City?"
"It should be here soon." The tone of the Marquis Creek was full of warning, "So you can stay at home these two days and don't meddle in it!"
"good… "
…
"My lord, why is the Marquis of Creek unwilling to support you?"
"How do I know!" The Norman knight rolled his eyes at his subordinates, and said indignantly, "That old bastard was upset at being cuckolded by the emperor, so he knew to vent his anger on me."
The subordinate scratched his head: "Marquis Creek... doesn't seem like such an irrational person..."
"Then go back and persuade him!" the Norman knight said angrily.
The subordinate had no choice but to shut up.
The two walked out of the Marquis's mansion all the way, and just a few steps away, they heard a rush of horseshoes.
Feeling the tremor of the ground, the Norman knight turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of cavalry appearing on the other side of the block, galloping at an extremely fast speed.
"Who are those people? How dare they gallop around the Phoenix Palace!"
"It looks... like the Blood Cavalry."
"Blood Cavalry?"
The Norman knight narrowed his eyes, stopped involuntarily, and asked with some discomfort:
"Are the Blood Cavalry Army so arrogant now!"
After finishing speaking, he just stood in the middle of the road in a daze, with his hands folded, watching the approaching blood cavalry squad.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Hearing the cries of the oncoming riders, the Norman knights just didn't dodge or evade.
The blood cavalry army didn't slow down either, and they seemed to have seen that the young knight was deliberately finding fault.
Seeing that the leading cavalry was about to bump into him, the Norman knight finally moved. He dodged to avoid the horse's collision, and at the same time drew out the sword at his waist, and stabbed it directly at the horse's belly.
shouted:
"In front of the Phoenix Palace, galloping horses are prohibited!"
However, before the long sword touched the horse's belly, it was wound up by a whip.
The Norman knight shook his hand vigorously, but found that he couldn't pull it at all.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged away by the galloping horse, the Norman knight had no choice but to let go.
But the powerful impact still made him stagger.
The Norman knight was ashamed, and immediately asked loudly:
"Which family are you a knight?"
The Blood Cavalry squad didn't bother to tangle with the Norman knight at all, so they just galloped past him.
The Norman knight blushed and said angrily:
"You can't run away! Even if Colin Angelet is in front of me, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant..."
Before he finished speaking, the Norman knight saw a sharp look from the cavalry squad.
The next moment, the Norman knight's curse was stuck in his throat.
He felt as if he saw landslides and ground cracks, and magma erupted.
The doomsday scene and irresistible coercion turned the Norman knight into a puppet.
Until the Blood Cavalry squad completely disappeared from sight, the Norman knights still couldn't recover.
The servant stepped forward cautiously, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a faint sound of running water.
Looking down, I saw a light yellow liquid dripping down the Norman knight's trouser legs...
