Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 211: Contract

Chapter 707 Contract

After the second prince's arrest order was issued, people around screamed in surprise. No matter how mature and dignified the vassals and nobles present, no matter how well-informed the foreign envoys, no matter how brave and fearless the accompanying guards, Words change color one after another:

Earl Noah Harvey of Yanbi Harbor couldn't hide his shock, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, not to disgrace his family's reputation as the "bow that shoots the sun", but the sixteen-year-old eldest daughter beside him watched Zhan En, covering his mouth with both hands, his face paled;

The Earl of Chaoyanghua from Changqing, Bruce Schukadel 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 the Marsh was ashen-faced, trembling all over, and muttering incessantly, if the eldest son hadn't stopped him, he might have said something against the aristocratic demeanor;

Karabyan's twins put away their folding fans together and discussed 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, grabbed 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 upper brow bone without eyebrows, and looked at the firm Thales, his smile became more intriguing;

The blood guest at the feast, Councilor Yannick Houllier waved his anxious servants back, raised his head thoughtfully, and looked sharply at the other end of the crowd—there, the Li Corleone of the kingdom didn't say a word, just looked at the desolate bright moon in the sky.

Among the chaos of flickering lights, only the old butler Ashford, who had seen strong winds and waves, had a calm expression. It might be a matter of regret, but the shabby Cassian knight stopped in front of them and helped the old housekeeper protect his young lady.

People in 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," an officer with an eternal lamp said boldly, "but he said it belongs to the king..."

Seychelles turned around and drank:

"You didn't hear anything!"

The officer was a little dizzy from his yelling, and tightened 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 men from the capital..." Another officer was worried, "If we do something..."

"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 your salary !”

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 soldiers with green hats in front of him, with a ruthless face and slightly bent knees. In anticipation, he clasped his shoulders to prevent the mute from doing anything impulsive.

"It's strange, seeing the reaction of this group of green hats," said D.D, who was in the Star Lake Guard, 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."

Wiaia 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 forward:

Behind Zhan En stood at least two teams of well-equipped Jade Sergeants. They were well-trained. Although they were inevitably chaotic 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 surrounded them amidst the urging of the officers, separating them from the rest of the crowd. Like an island in the sea, withstood by waves in all directions.

Further away, green hats are piled up in almost every corner from the stands to the passage. There are archers equipped with crossbows in the high places, and there are even cavalry patrolling on tall horses with amazing momentum. The crowd watching the excitement cast strange and vigilant gazes at the Xinghu guards at the same time.

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 Zhan En who was opposite him wholeheartedly.

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

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

"But Your Highness said that we should 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!"

On the opposite side of them, a sharp-eyed officer saw Nexi's movements, and he yelled in fright:

"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:

"Defend!"

"Legion, protect the Duke!"

"Are we really going to do it?"

"Stand firm! Hold the line!"

"That's the king's son..."

"Self-defense is not treason, right?"

"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!"

Golover gritted his teeth, but he didn't have time to investigate Nehi's actions, 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 to blow up the camp more easily than this."

"Sunset, I'd rather go to the Fuxing Palace again..." D.D pressed Niexi, looking at the crowds of Jade Legion, feeling a headache.

"Really?"

"Then talk about it..."

"Sunset, we shouldn't divide our troops," Nexi reacted when facing the dark enemy in sight, the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, "We should..."

"There are thousands of them, not counting the more peripheral troops. We are useless when we are all here." Morgan said disdainfully.

"It's not just about the number of people."

Among the ranks, Paul focused his attention on the prince and the duke.

"Your Highness said, in the name of the king..."

Everyone in the guard stood in awe.

"If we clash with the Emerald Legion at this time, and even suffer **** 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 whole kingdom."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly felt that their footsteps were extremely heavy. Nirvana looked at his sword hilt, his face was pale.

"So, who is 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 his throat, 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 don't dare."

"Quiet!"

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

"Hold on! Back off!"

"Put your weapons away!"

"Are you in a hurry to die!"

"Stay well!"

Led by Seychelles, the officers who were close to each other reacted one after another. The Duke's order was conveyed layer by layer. After a few seconds, the restless crowd retreated under the 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 faced each other from a distance, and the differences became more and more clear. Everyone put their hearts in their throats.

Jen En took a deep breath and looked at Thales.

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

There is a long-lost relief in Zhan En's words:

"You finally couldn't help but show your true intentions and want to kill me?"

"You are only suspected, Jen," Thales interrupted him, "You have not 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."

Feeling the other party's attitude, Thales frowned.

"Why, Thales, why?"

Xilai on one side struggled to break away from the butler's hand: "You promised me, you obviously have a better way! Remember, make a decision on the fly!"

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

"Don't you understand yet, Shirley?"

Jen En snorted coldly.

"He is here to destroy us, but he dare not admit it, even too cowardly to do it himself, so he has to find excuses to deceive himself."

Thales' breathing was stagnant.

"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 the words.

Hile'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?"

The fantasy of being a good person...

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 knows you best is your enemy, Thales.

But the problem is...

You are 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 guarantee that 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."

Zhan En's eyes became colder.

"After that," Xi Lai's expression changed: "After what?"

"What else could it be?" Jann sarcastically said, "After I raised my hand and surrendered, after he mercifully let the executioner kill him."

Thales frowned slightly.

"I tried, Shirley, I really tried."

Thales turned to Jann:

"But some people, some people just can't learn to take the initiative 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.

At this point, the two of them paused.

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

The butler Ashford sighed, and the Cassian knight beside 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.

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

"Jane Kevin Dill, the choice is yours," Thales said softly, "Whether to take the initiative to retreat, or to 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 in a low voice with a cold gaze, nodding his head, "you are the enemy of the kingdom."

Thales was taken aback.

The next second, Zhan En's face turned serious, and he said loudly:

"His Royal Highness Thales!"

He made his voice heard:

"I know that you feel dissatisfied 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 surprise, and muttered to herself.

"However, this place is the Emerald City, the Pearl of the South Bank Territory, and one of the most important fiefdoms of the Kingdom. Awe-inspiring, "Law the law and settle cases on our land!"

It's worse.

Thales frowned:

"However, as the owner of the city, you are suspected of committing a crime. 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 matter to outsiders?"

The surrounding crowd, especially the vassals, were getting louder and louder, and Thales felt bad.

"Certainly, if Your Highness had convicted me long ago, then you might as well petition Your Majesty to convene a high-level noble council according to 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 wants to interfere with the internal affairs of the Iris family, you have to weigh it carefully and be careful!"

Thales' eyelids twitched.

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

Jane steps forward and raises his hands so that 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:

"Although the Emerald City is remote, it is connected to all directions. Although the iris is small, it will not be killed by the enemy!"

He flicked his sleeves, solemn and majestic:

"Although the daughter of Nan'an 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. Earl Thor was the most important, and even the previously low morale of the Jade Legion was aroused to be protective and friendly. Many people beat their weapons to cheer and provoke the bewildered Xinghu guards.

But at this time, D.D chuckled in the team:

"Guys, do you know what is the most important thing 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 show your timidity, 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, looking at the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, "Is there any use for arrogance?"

"That's why 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 swiped his bowed arms, stepped sideways, and assumed a frightening but impractical exaggerated posture, which aroused the fear of the soldiers confronting them, "indeed."

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

"I remember you said that our affairs belong 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.

Jane's eyes dimmed.

"But she's right, Hilley 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."

Jane suddenly changed color.

His gaze at Thales became colder and colder.

"You know what a fart," Zhan En's speech speed suddenly accelerated, "a **** bastard whose surname was posted 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!"

Jen En smiled, 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."

An enemy of the kingdom...

Thales was silent for a long time.

He failed to force Zhan En 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?

For example, Zhan En's own life?

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

Jen 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 soldiers 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 audience on the sidelines talked a lot and couldn't hide their panic.

For the first time in the Xinghu Guards, facing so many enemies, Nexi turned pale:

"I, are we not moving forward?"

"Your Highness is moving forward," Glover, with only one arm left, grabbed the hilt of his sword and ordered decisively, "Guards, weapons!"

With an order, several members of the Star Lake 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 **** 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, rubbing the handle of his knife, looking 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 axe first, with your ears clean." Morgan snorted disdainfully.

"No, it's a real fight? According to what Master Paul said just now," Nexi said nervously, "I will go down with a sword later, maybe I will cut down some big 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 that 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 idea, Master Bozdov," 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 won't know," Morgan said indifferently, with a blade-neck accent, "If we really fight, we will 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?" At this time, Wyatt, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "I mean, except for Ms. Arend and the mute?"

The topic was diverted, 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 the Ballard room, to be honest, 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 so Ask?"

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, ever, 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..."

Wyer 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 sighs:

"Damn it, let him pretend to be handsome."

A few seconds later, everyone laughed in unison, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Only Rolf snorted coldly when he heard the words.

Will you swing the first sword?

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

True tm hypocrisy.

"Focus!"

Glorver 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 your flaws!"

But they have already made flaws 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 surprised many people, 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.

Jane's eyes changed.

"As far as I know, someone accuses you, Jann," Thales turned and faced everyone, "The nobleman of the kingdom, the son of the late Viscount Sona Kevin Dill of Gonghai City, is with you Federico Cavendir, who has a surname, accuses you of murder, killing 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 denied the allegations!"

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 false accusation, and wants to pursue the crimes committed by the accuser."

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

"Since the two nobles are sticking to each other, they can't stop arguing," I saw Thales was confident, "Then I, the second prince and Duke of Xinghu, Thales Canxing, as a detached and neutral third party, I have to conduct a sacred-noble arbitration for the dispute between the two of you!"

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 sent a complaint asking me to mediate for you two cousins!" Thales raised his voice.

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

"Hahahahahahahaha——"

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

Thales' eyes tightened and he shot at Zhan En:

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

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

Jen 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 law written in the "Sacred Star Covenant": No matter what kind of crime he is responsible for, Federico is a nobleman of the kingdom, and he has the right to ask a higher-ranking nobleman 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 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 keeps talking, and the logic is gradual:

"This is from the day when Tormund was founded, witnessed by the setting sun, following the old law of the empire, from the princes and nobles, down to the squires and knights, all the nobles of the Star Kingdom—even in some cases, all the people— —The birthright of the divine right is a law made to protect the weak from being oppressed by the strong.”

He narrowed his eyes:

"You should know the truth better than me, Mr. 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 ~IndoMTL.com~ is fair enough, the status is high, not inferior to the duke."

"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, no matter how high or powerful the person involved in the case is, he 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 betrays 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 Mohasa, the sacred contract made in front of the statue."

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

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