Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 707

The arrest warrant for the second prince was issued, and people around screamed in surprise. No matter how mature and dignified the vassals and nobles present, no matter how well-informed the envoys from foreign lands, no matter how brave and fearless the accompanying guards were, they would hear all of them. Changing colors one after another:

Earl Noah Harvey of Yanbi Port couldn't hide his shock, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, not to disgrace the family's reputation as the bow that shoots the sun. Covering her mouth with both hands, her beauty pales;

The Earl of Chaoyanghua from Changqing, Bruce Schuckard looked at the Duke and the prince with complicated eyes, and at the same time called his followers to ask what;

Earl Aitchison Lasia of Zedi's face was livid, trembling all over, and he was muttering endlessly. If the eldest son hadn't stopped him, he might have said something against the aristocratic demeanor;

Karabyan's twins Qiqi put away their folding fans and got together to discuss anxiously, but every time Kaisha said a word, Qina shook her head seriously;

The captain of the Seawolf Flotilla had a grim look on his face. He roughly pushed his mistress away, dragged his first mate, and discussed something angrily, with words such as exit, departure and set sail in every sentence;

Hassan, the special envoy of the head of the Tyrannian trading nation, turned his eyes. He rubbed his eyebrowless upper brow bone and looked at the determined Thales with a more intriguing smile;

The blood guest at the feast, Senator Yannick Houllier waved his hand to get the anxious servants to step back, he raised his head thoughtfully, and looked at the other end of the crowd with sharp eyes - there, Leo from the Kingdom of the Night Corleone didn't say a word, just looked at the desolate bright moon in the sky.

In the chaos of flickering lights, only the old butler Ashford, who had seen strong winds and waves, had a calm expression. He clasped Healy's arm and stepped back, whispering something, so as not to let the emotional young lady make any regrets. The poorly dressed Cassian knight stopped in front of them, helping the old butler protect his young lady.

People up and down the stands relayed the message, and soon, the entire arena fell into chaos, even the Emerald Legion was no exception.

Calm down! Calm down! Regroup!

The Seychelles knight roared, yelling at his subordinates who were in a mess behind him, and even their formation was a little loose.

But sir, said an officer boldly carrying an eternity lamp, but he said it belonged to the king...

Seychelles turned around and drank violently:

You didn't hear anything!

The officer was a little dizzy from his yelling,

Tightening the green helmet on his head: Yes, of course, sir...but what should we do?

Keep your posts! Seychelles hoarse.

Captain, should we do it first? The second officer was wary of the Xinghu guards surrounding the prince, in case they...

But they are all big figures from the capital... Another officer was worried, If we do something...

Then what if they attack us, don't you fight back?

Don't move lightly without my order! Seychelles tried his best to restrain the nervous and impulsive subordinates, and cast a look of help to Zhan En, Don't forget where this is and who is paying you!

But the tense and chaotic atmosphere affected not only the locals of Emerald City.

Miranda, who was on the front line, cast a surprised and puzzled look at Thales. Rolf stared at the rows of green hat soldiers in front of him, with a ruthless face and slightly bent knees. Fortunately, Glover had expected it. He clasped his shoulders to prevent the mute from doing anything impulsive.

Strange, seeing the reaction of this group of green hats, said D.D, who was in the Xinghu guards, feeling uneasy as he felt the turbulent waves in all directions, It feels like we surrounded them.

Your feeling is right, Paul said in a deep voice, looking thoughtfully at the prince's quiet back.

Your Highness.

Wyah Castle came behind Thales and repeated the prince's order in disbelief:

I'm sorry I have to confirm again, but...you want us to arrest Duke Jann? Here? Now?

He looks ahead:

Behind Zhan En stood at least two teams of well-equipped Jade Sergeants. They were well-trained. Although they were inevitably confused and panicked, they still stood closely and were ready to rush up to protect the Duke at any time.

Wyah turned around again:

Unknowingly, the emerald sergeants in green armor had already surrounded the officers amidst the urging of the officers, separating them from the rest of the crowd. They lined up and stood in line, while Thales and the Xinghu guards behind him were like the soldiers in the sea. An isolated island, subject to waves in all directions.

Farther away, green hats were piled up in almost every corner from the stands to the aisle. There were archers equipped with bows and crossbows in the high places, and there were even cavalry patrolling on tall horses. They scolded the onlookers The crowd at the same time cast strange and vigilant gazes at the Xinghu guards.

At the front of the line, Thales did not answer Wyah, nor did he express his dissatisfaction with the attendant's delay in ordering.

He just stared at Jen on the opposite side wholeheartedly.

The Duke of South Bank also looked back at him coldly.

Everyone stay calm and calm down, Glover said in a low voice. He was always paying attention to the chaotic crowd around him, gritted his teeth, and tensed his nerves. From now on, I will take over the command.

But Your Highness said that we want us to arrest the suspect, Nexi eagerly looked at the Duke of South Bank, and unsheathed his sword, How about we...

D.D's expression changed, and he grabbed his hand: No!

Opposite them, a sharp-eyed officer saw Neshi's movements, and he shouted in terror:

They want to do it!

His reaction alarmed other colleagues, panic and hostility spread instantly, and the formation of the Emerald Legion fluctuated like a wave:

defense!

Legion, protect the Duke!

Are we really going to do it?

Stand firm! Hold the battle line!

That's the king's son...

Self-defense is not treason, is it?

Press them back!

For a while, there were shouts of orders, arguments, screams, shouts of killing, and even the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and the audience in the distance screamed again and again.

Everyone in the Xinghu Guard was startled, and formed a formation back to back, facing the restless soldiers around them, they followed Huai Ya, and slowly approached the prince.

Thales frowned.

I said hold on!

Glover gritted his teeth, but he didn't have time to investigate Nexi's behavior, even though the latter had long been frightened by the raging waves in all directions.

Oops, everyone is holding a weapon, and everyone is nervous, Miranda said in a deep voice, There is no time when it is easier to blow up the camp.

Sunset, I'd rather go to the Fuxing Palace again... D.D pressed Niexi, looking at the crowded Emerald Legion, feeling a headache.

real?

Then it's okay to say...

Sunset, we shouldn't divide our troops, Nexi reacted to the overwhelming enemy in sight, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, We should...

They have thousands of people, not counting the more peripheral troops. We are useless when we are all here. Morgan said disdainfully.

It's not just a question of the number of people.

In the procession, Paul focused on the prince and the duke.

His Highness said, in the 'name of the king'...

All the guards stood in unison.

If we clash with the Emerald Legion at this time, and even suffer bloody casualties, it will be far more than a grudge between His Highness and the Duke... Paul said solemnly, The sparks we wiped out when we swung our swords may ignite the entire kingdom.

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly felt that their footsteps were extremely heavy, and their faces were pale as they looked at their sword hilts.

So, who's going to swing the first sword in history? Paul turned his head and looked at everyone in the team, How are you, D.D?

Doyle swallowed, let go of the hilt of his sword, and showed a gentle and modest smile.

But the good news is, Miranda nodded, staring at the Seychelles knight who was shouting orders opposite her, They didn't dare either.

Quiet!

At this moment, Zhan En's voice sounded from the crowd, loud and high-pitched.

Steady! Back off!

Put away your weapons!

Are you in a hurry to die!

Stand in your position!

Led by Seychelles, the officers who were close to each other reacted one after another, and the Duke's order was conveyed layer by layer. After a few seconds, the restless crowd retreated under scolding and restraint, and the noisy scene finally quieted down.

No one dared to approach the prince and the duke within three meters, but the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion behind them naturally faced each other, looking for potential threats and possible opponents.

The two sides confronted each other from a distance, and the differences became more and more clear. Everyone raised their hearts to their throats.

Jen En took a deep breath and looked at Thales.

You're not going to pretend anymore, are you?

There was a long-lost relief in Jen's words:

You finally couldn't help showing your true intentions, and you want to kill me?

You're just suspected, Jen, Thales interrupted him. You haven't been conclusively convicted of the above charges.

He glanced at Federico who was pushed to the ground by the police officer.

Yes, Zhan En sneered again and again, Not yet.

Sensing the attitude of the other party, Thales frowned.

Why, Thales, why?

Xi Lai on the side broke free from the butler's hand: You promised me, you obviously have a better way! Remember, make a decision at the moment!

Seeing Xi Lai, Thales couldn't help feeling sad.

Don't you understand, Hillary?

Jen snorted coldly.

He came to destroy us, but he dared not admit it, and was even too cowardly to do it himself, so he had to find excuses to deceive himself and others.

Thales caught his breath.

I don't want to destroy anything, Jen, as long as you—

That's it! Jen interrupted him loudly, full of sarcasm, 'I don't want to destroy anything'——you've been intoxicated in the fantasy of being a good man for too long, Thales!

Thales trembled when he heard this.

Xi Lai's eyes wandered between his brother and Thales, back and forth, with a blank expression.

When will you take off your mask and wake up and admit that you are not a saint, Zhan En sneered, but just an ordinary person who hypocritically hates blood and doesn't want to get his hands dirty or face blood stains?

Good man's fantasy...

Don't want to get your hands dirty...

Listening to the conversation, Thales' heart trembled.

【You walk on the top of the cliff, but dream of the sky. 】

He took a deep breath, trying to get the king's words out of his head.

It seems that that sentence is correct—but the voice in his heart whispered—the person who understands you best is your enemy, Thales.

But the problem is...

You are really as fragile and hypocritical as he said...

Or, can you do more? Dare to do more?

Thales clenched his fists and subconsciously covered Guertaxa through his pocket.

You have to do this, Thales.

you know you have to.

Just tie your hands, Zhan En, take the initiative to cooperate, I promise you will get the treatment that the Duke deserves, the prince raised his head decisively, and raised his voice, It doesn't matter before, or...after.

Jen's eyes became colder.

After that, Xi Lai's face changed: After what?

What else could it be? Jen En sarcastically said, After I raised my hand and surrendered, after he mercifully let the executioner go down with the knife.

Thales frowned slightly.

I tried, Shirley, I really tried.

Thales turned to Jann:

But some people, some people just can't learn to back off and make room.

Under the lights of the surrounding stands, Thales looked at Zhan En, as if he wanted to dig something out of his eyes:

Unless someone forces him. He said coldly.

with a sword.

It seems that we finally have a consensus. Jen En said sarcastically.

Having said that, the two of them paused.

Xi Lai understood something, she looked here and then there, extremely disappointed.

Butler Ashford sighed, Cassian Cavalier next to him insulted, and stopped the distraught eldest lady to go back.

The sudden silence of the prince and the duke caused the surrounding crowd to start commotion again, and people talked a lot.

Huai Ya stood among the guards, and he looked at Thales' back with complicated eyes.

Jane Kevin Dill, the choice is yours, Thales said softly, whether you take the initiative to retreat, or resist arrest...

An enemy of the kingdom?

Zhan En's eyes moved, he turned his head, looked at the nervous and anxious soldiers and crowd, and smiled softly.

On the contrary, he said with a slightly cold gaze, nodding his head, you are the enemy of the kingdom.

Thales was taken aback.

In the next second, Zhan En's face became serious, and he said loudly:

His Royal Highness Thales!

He made his voice heard by all:

I know you are upset with me, just because I rejected your rude marriage proposal!

The voice fell, and Thales suddenly changed color.

The crowd was in an uproar, and then there were endless discussions, and many people turned their attention to Xi Lai.

Jen, you bastard. Xi Lai also looked livid, she looked at her brother in amazement, and muttered to herself.

However, this place is Emerald City, the Pearl of the capital of the South Bank Territory. It is one of the most important fiefdoms in the kingdom. It has always had its own laws and regulations. There is no need for a foreigner to go overboard and ignore the traditions of the fiefdom and the laws of the Emerald City, Zhan En said righteously, Law enforcement on our land!

worse.

Thales frowned:

However, you, as the owner of the city, are under suspicion. Can the laws of the Emerald City be fair—

So what? Zhan En shouted.

The Duke of South Bank spoke coldly, attracting everyone's attention:

His Royal Highness Thales, you have not been crowned, have no authority, and have no orders. It is really inappropriate for you to overstep the rules and avenge yourself in the foreign minister's territory!

He changed the subject:

As for the law of the Emerald City, what does it have to do with outsiders?

The people around, especially the vassals, were getting louder and louder, and Thales felt bad.

Indeed, if Your Highness had convicted me long ago, then you might as well petition Your Majesty to convene a high-level noble council in accordance with the rules, and the adults on the nineteenth stone seat will decide the merits and demerits of the Duke of South Bank!

The discussion in the crowd became more and more chaotic, and many people pointed at the duke, excited and excited.

Otherwise, on the land of Emerald City, even if His Majesty himself wants to interfere with the internal affairs of the Iris family, you have to weigh it carefully and carefully!

Thales' eyelids twitched.

Of course, if you insist on overstepping your authority and punishing me...

Jen steps forward, throwing his hands up so everyone can see him

Please remember, Your Highness, what you say is the voice of the royal family, and what you do are the actions of the royal family. They will be conveyed to the entire territory of the kingdom, far beyond the corner of Eternal Star City.

Zhan En stopped in front of Thales, a pair of eyes radiated cold light:

Even though the Emerald City is remote, it reaches all directions. Even though the iris is small, it will not be defeated by the enemy!

He shook his sleeves solemnly:

Although Nan'an's daughter is soft and weak, her dignity is supreme, her freedom is priceless, and the importance of the royal family cannot be discounted!

After the words fell, the vassals first started to cheer and applaud, and many people echoed their voices, and then the anger spread to the audience on the periphery and in the stands, and there were many people who shouted harsh words while being angry, especially the young Earl Pintor Most of all, even the Jade Legion, whose morale was low before, was aroused to be protective and friendly. Many people beat their weapons to cheer and provoke the bewildered Xinghu Guards.

But at this moment, D.D chuckled lightly in the team:

Guys, do you know what's most important in this situation?

Little life? Nexi replied hesitantly.

It's momentum!

D.D answered firmly, and the others couldn't help looking at him.

Doyle took a step forward, held his head high, and grinned at a Jade Sergeant facing him who was provoking him: Don't be timid, raise your sword, keep a straight face, and don't lose your momentum.

Morgan scoffed.

As I said, there are at least a thousand of them, and there are only a few of us, Morgan said with a sneer as he looked at the disparity between the enemy and us.

Because of this, aura is of great use, D.D exhaled, loosened the sore facial muscles, and continued to put on a fierce expression, because we only have it left.

Everyone was startled when they heard the words.

Paul couldn't help but glanced at D.D with surprise.

Indeed, the man from the Western Wilderness wiped his bow arm, bowed and stepped forward, and assumed a frightening but impractical exaggerated posture, which made the soldiers who were confronting them fearful, Indeed.

Facing the turbulent crowd, Thales only felt that his shoulders were heavy.

I remember you said that our business belongs to us, and Xilai will never be involved. He whispered to Zhan En with a gloomy expression.

The mighty Duke Iris froze when he heard the words.

He turned his head slowly: Xi Lai ignored the countless pairs of eyes cast on her, just stared at the ground, and squeezed his gloves tightly.

Jen's eyes dimmed.

But she's right, Shiley has been involved for a long time, Zhan En took a deep breath, Thanks to you and your father.

I understand Xi Lai's feelings now, Thales said suddenly, with a cold voice, Indeed, she deserves a better brother.

Jen's color suddenly changed.

He looked at Thales with colder eyes.

You know what a fart, Zhan En's speech speed suddenly accelerated, a bastard bastard who even posted his surname later.

Thales sneered.

After Zhan finished speaking, his expression became serious again.

He steps back and raises his voice:

I believe you must be tired, Your Highness, why not go back to the palace to rest under my escort!

Zhan En closed his smile, lowered his voice and said the next sentence:

Or are you determined to go your own way, still insisting on arresting me and swinging a sword against me and the kingdom?

The Duke sneered:

Now, it's your turn to choose, Thales.

Against the kingdom...

Thales was speechless for a long time.

He failed to force Jann to submit.

Especially when he doesn't even care about his sister and can take advantage of her decisively.

What is he going to use to force Zhan En to back off?

Like Jen's own life?

A few seconds later, Thales took a deep breath, stepped back sideways, and pressed the handle of the Warner's sword!

Zhan En's expression changed, he snorted coldly, stepped back as well, and held down a dagger pinned to his waist!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and many people exclaimed!

The Seychelles knight shouted angrily, and drew his long sword out of its sheath. The tip of the sword did not dare to point directly at Thales, but pointed at the Xinghu Guard behind him:

Who dares to move forward?

Following Seychelles' movements, the sergeants in the first row around them unsheathed their weapons one after another, with a fierce momentum, and a faint tendency to encircle them.

The atmosphere became tense again, and the onlookers talked a lot, and it was hard to hide their panic.

In the Star Lake Guard, facing so many enemies for the first time, Nexi's face was pale:

I, are we not moving forward?

Your Highness is moving forward, Glover, who had only one arm to use, grabbed the hilt of his sword and ordered decisively, Guards, weapons!

With an order, several members of the Xinghu Guard also drew their swords together (Niexi was a little slow in fright, but still drew their swords under D.D's reminder), and confronted the Emerald Legion tit for tat!

Damn it, I thought I didn't need to fight just now... Nexi's sword tip moved left and right, but there were more than one group of enemies in either direction, But why did it start again all of a sudden?

Start? Miranda stared at several officers in the legion vigilantly, No, it never ended at all.

Hahaha, yes, Morgan laughed at this moment. He rubbed the handle of his knife and looked at a group of burly sergeants in front of him maliciously. I really miss this scene...

In that case, come on guys, put on your worst face, D.D gritted his teeth, his chest heaved and his expression was exaggerated, Imagine Kingdom Wrath standing behind you, fierce and reliable...

Then he must have chopped you up with an ax first, so the ears are clean. Morgan snorted disdainfully.

No, really fighting? According to what Master Paul said just now, Nexi said nervously, I will strike down with a sword later, maybe I will cut down some important person, ignite the kingdom, and trigger a war?

Everyone's mood sank and their thoughts were confused.

In the tense atmosphere, the Xinghu guards were worried because of the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, but facing the prince's honor, the Jade Legion on the opposite side also nervously hesitated and hesitated.

Both sides have their own fears, and the situation is delicate.

Can we make a quick decision and only capture the Duke? D.D tentatively asked.

From thousands of green hat soldiers? Morgan doubted.

And the Seychelles knight, and his slovenly friend, Nehi added uneasily.

D.D has an ugly expression.

Try to keep your hands, Paul leaned on his back, a little disappointed in his words, Try not to kill anyone, especially don't hurt the Duke, otherwise there will be no civil war...

If you start fighting with this thought, Master Bozdorf, Miranda said with burning eyes, believe me, we will definitely die.

Paul was taken aback.

If, I mean, if war breaks out, even if it only hits the Emerald City, how many people will die?

D.D opened his mouth quietly, causing everyone to stare.

You wouldn't know, Morgan said indifferently, with a blade-neck accent, If we really fight, we'll die today, and we won't see the war break out.

Morgan's words made everyone's hearts sink.

Hmph, Rolf is disdainful, a bunch of cowards.

You haven't seen the wrath of the kingdom, have you? Wyatt, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, I mean, except for Ms. Arend and the mute?

The topic was changed, and everyone was taken aback.

Um, do portraits count? Nexi's face turned pale, and his sword hand trembled slightly.

I've seen it a few times while guarding Ballard's room. To be honest, the short guy... D.D rolled his eyes.

Looking at it from a distance, it's very solid. Glover moved the tip of his sword vigilantly, aiming back and forth at the enemies at his angle.

I've heard from my father that it's easier to get along with than Legendary Wings, Paul turned left and right, bowing and moving non-stop, causing many Jade Sergeants standing in front of the crosshairs to retreat subconsciously, Why do you ask that?

Wyah smiled.

Because of Araka Mu, the wrath of the kingdom, the most fearsome predator in the entire star...

He took a deep breath. Facing the crowd of enemies, he no longer trembled nervously, but showed a relieved smile.

He will never, never, never stand behind his comrades in arms.

Everyone was stunned, but Huai Ya had already strode forward to the forefront of the team, facing Zhan En's direction.

Don't worry, if His Highness orders, if we really get to that point...

Huai Ya raised his single-edged sword, facing the enemies layer upon layer, his eyes were determined:

The first sword, I will swing it.

Everyone was startled and looked at each other.

Until D.D sighed:

Damn it, let him pretend to be handsome all by himself.

After a few seconds, everyone laughed in unison, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Only Rolf snorted coldly when he heard the words.

Are you going to swing the first sword?

Fuck, make it sound like as long as you wield the sword alone, everyone else is fine.

True tm hypocrisy.

concentrate!

Glover leaned against Rolf's back, gritted his teeth and interrupted their communication:

Priority will be given to protecting His Royal Highness later, stand in good formation, and don't show any flaws!

But they have already been flawed everywhere.

Rolf snorted and thought.

From the moment they came to the Emerald City.

But at this moment, Thales in front of them let go of the hilt of his sword and smiled.

You're right, Zhan En, I can't overstep and interfere with the law enforcement of Emerald City! the prince said loudly.

This statement caught many people by surprise, and the noise of the discussion on the spot subsided, and even the Star Lake Guards, who were planning to take Zhan En desperately, looked at each other in blank dismay.

Jen En frowned slightly, as if he was also puzzled by Thales' submissiveness.

Very good, but the Duke reacted very quickly, and immediately became happy, I have ordered people to hold a banquet in the palace, since the election will be over, how about...

Arbitration. Thales smiled and spread his hands.

What?

I said, arbitration! Thales said loudly.

Jen's eyes changed.

As far as I know, someone accuses you, Jann, Thales turned around and faced everyone, The nobleman of the kingdom, the son of the late Viscount Sona Cavendir of Gonghai City, has the same surname as you Federico Cavendir, accuses you of murdering your mouth, killing your relatives and seizing the throne!

He is a disgrace to the Kevin Dill family. He should have changed his surname a long time ago. Zhan En looked unhappy, And the Emerald City has its own laws...

And you have denied the charges!

Thales ignored his words:

You, the nobleman of the kingdom, the current Guardian Duke of the South Bank, Lord of the Emerald City, Jayne Cavendir of the Iris Family denies the accusation, denounces it as a frame-up, and wants to pursue the crimes committed by the accuser.

Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other in blank dismay, only the shadow in Zhan En's eyes became more and more intense.

Since the two nobles are sticking to each other and can't stop arguing, I saw Thales confidently said, Then I, the second prince and Duke of Xinghu, Thales Canxing, as a detached and neutral third party, have no choice but to fight for it. Disputes between the two of you will be sacred—noble arbitration!

As soon as the voice fell, there was a lot of discussion among the vassals.

Arbitration? Zhan En reacted, his tone was unstable, Who said that!

Thales turned around and pointed to the crowd:

He said it!

Everyone turned their eyes in unison: Federico fell to the ground, and the police officers guarding him looked terrified.

If you don't believe me, drag Federico here now and ask him if he has issued a complaint asking me to mediate for you two cousins! Thales raised his voice.

The discussion became louder and louder, and Federico, who heard this, burst into a hearty laugh:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--

A few seconds later, he was elbowed down by a bold police officer, fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Thales' eyes tightened, and he shot at Jann:

Of course, unless you don't intend to let him speak, just want him to disappear—in front of me and the entire kingdom.

The crowd became agitated again, and the guards and police officers who maintained order had to step up their efforts to scold and control.

Zhan En was silent for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth:

This is not only a matter of Emerald City, Your Highness, but also the internal affairs of the Kevin Dill family. It is definitely not an outsider's arbitration...

This is the statute written in the Sacred Star Covenant: No matter what kind of crime he is responsible for, Federico is a noble of the kingdom, and he has the right to ask a higher-ranking noble for arbitration.

Thales opened his arms and spoke clearly:

Especially when the other person involved in the case is powerful, powerful and powerful, and the complainant is alone and has nowhere to seek justice.

Zhan En remained calm, but couldn't help but glance at the gloomy Xi Lai.

This has nothing to do with Emerald City, Jen, it has nothing to do with Kevin Dill, and it has nothing to do with my personal grievances with you or Hilley!

Thales kept talking, and the logic was gradual:

This is from the day when Tormund was founded, witnessed by the setting sun, following the old law of the empire, up to the princes and nobles, down to the squires and knights, all the nobles of the Star Kingdom - even in some cases, all the people - and life Inherent divine right is a law made to protect the weak from oppression by the strong.

He narrowed his eyes:

You should know the truth better than me, Master Zhan En. After all, you just served as an arbitrator for a baron not long ago, preventing him from oppressing the farmers in his territory.

Zhan En's expression changed slightly, he tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and said with a sneer:

Arbitration, you? Why?

Based on my status as neutral, it is a sign of fairness, and my status is so high that I am not inferior to the duke.

You are not inferior to the Duke? You really know how to give money to yourself. Zhan En's eyes became more and more cold, The Grand Duke of Thales is in charge of Star Lake Castle and has a town and two villages in his fief.

Thales smiled slightly, ignoring the other party's ridicule.

However, the person involved in the case, no matter how high his status or power is, must accept the arbitration of a third party, and must not use any reason to favoritism or act arbitrarily.

Thales took a step forward and met Zhan En's eyes.

Unless he is no longer bound by the Sacred Star Covenant, the prince said in a deep voice, unless he turns his back on the goddess of the setting sun and his ancestors as one of the thousands of vassals, with the King of Restoration and the Prophet of the Setting Sun, Saint Mohasa , the sacred contract made in front of the idol.

Thales was talking, his eyes moved slowly, turned to the Duke of South Bank, and his words were sharp:

Unless he... is no longer a citizen of Star Kingdom.
