During his time in Crane, Count Omar told him a few things about the Pedi realm, most of which were about his wife's family.

Viscount Jersey Marne, Lord of the Cowindburg region, was nearly seventy years old, but he had only two daughters under his knees, three of whom had returned to the Goddess in the previous twenty years, either by war or by illness.

Viscount Zero's eldest daughter, Kunna Marne, married Pedi's brother, Earl Omar, two years ago.

As the only remaining heir of Viscount Zerodin, Knight Ciala can marry her, and as long as she can marry her, she can almost get the entire rule of Fort Cowind.

But everyone knows the importance of the Corwindburg region, and if you want to successfully gain control of this area, it is not just as simple as marrying a knight of Syra, which requires the nod of Cawalburg.

So, the duel between these two young men is just a stepping stone cast by some people.

In other words, this duel was made specifically for Pedi to see.

When all the thoughts flashed through Pedi's mind, he looked at his mother and asked, "What I want to know is where Kunna is now." Pedi wondered at first, he wondered why he hadn't seen Quinna, after all, according to imperial custom, Quinna was already a direct member of the Reagan family, and she was fully qualified to attend today's banquet.

The reason why Peidi didn't ask at first was because he didn't want his mother to think of his brother and be sad, but now, there was obviously no way to avoid it, so he asked.

Saviara smiled, she hid the sadness in her heart deeply, she looked at Pedi lovingly and said, "Do you want to hear your father's original plan?" She completely ignored Phyllis's increasingly presumptuous movements as she stood on the stool, and continued without waiting for Pedi to answer, "Your father originally planned... It was for you to marry Sira and then inherit Fort Cowind. ”

Pedi nodded, then glanced at the expressionless faces of the two maids and the head of the guard, Glick, beside his mother, put down his wine glass and said, "Like my father's usual practice... So, I'm not surprised. With that, his gaze fell on the two young men in the hall who were still fighting, "So, they are some people who have pushed us out?"

"That's how it should be. Saviara's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Wait, someone should stand up and ask you to rule their duel, if this person is not an important person, you can just make him disappear, of course, even if it is a person with status, you can make him disappear, but there is some trouble." ”

"In Crewe, you can decide everything, at the beginning, I will be there to correct your mistakes, but in the end, you need to face all the problems alone, so, learn to choose and distinguish as soon as possible, remember, as a ruler, there can be no good and evil in your eyes, as long as everything that is beneficial to the territory and the principality, it is right, you..."

Saviara stopped abruptly when she said this, for she had said these things to her eldest son years earlier, and now that she thought about it, it seemed as if they had happened yesterday.

At that time, it was also in this castle.

Sadness, endless sadness instantly infected Saviara's whole body.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, but there was no sound.

Peidi subconsciously wanted to be comforted, but he really didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only apologize: "I'm very sorry, mother, I..."

"It's okay, and besides, you don't have to apologize to me, I just... It's just—" Eventually, Saviara didn't have the courage to say the name, she forcibly held back her tears and smiled at the nobleman who came over to toast.

Then, the mother and son began to fall silent, Saviara was grieving, Pedi didn't know how to speak, and Phyllis continued to look at the duel scene heartlessly.

Over there, the two young men in the duel had already fought inextricably, and the voices of the surrounding nobles shouting and cheering not only did not weaken, but became more intense.

...

And just as the two were about to decide the winner, Pei Di suddenly turned his head and asked, "Mother, you haven't answered my question just now." ”

As if she hadn't heard Pedy's question, after taking two heavy breaths, she picked up her glass and asked, "Do you mean Quinna? What, you want to marry her?"

Pedi was stunned, but he was not surprised by his mother's problem, he had been prepared for this before, and at this moment, his mind suddenly appeared with his brother's happy expression when talking about Kunna, so he said: "If she wants to, her status will not change." ”

Saviara lowered her head, put the wine glass in her mouth and tasted it gently, she hated the taste of red wine, she had been married to Crewe for so many years, she still liked the aroma of hometown wine, every time she was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but want to drink highland ale. But at this moment, she held back, and when she drank all the red wine in one sip, she looked directly at her youngest son and said, "Unfortunately, she doesn't want to." ”

"Where is she?"

"She was pregnant, so I sent her back to Fort Cowind. ”

Pedy's hand holding the glass trembled, and various thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally turned into a sentence: "That is, the child will inherit Fort Cowind?"

"Viscount Zerodin-Marne should be delighted. Saviara nodded.

Pedi silently filled his glass with wine, and drank it all...

At this moment, the guilt of his brother in his heart was even heavier.

By this time, the duel between the two young men had ended, and they were each sitting on a chair panting, while the shouts of the nearby nobles were even louder, hoping that their shouts would make the two men continue to fight.

Knowing that the farce was over, Pedi stood up and raised his glass, shouting, "Everyone..."

In just a moment, the nobles in the hall subconsciously turned their heads to look at Pedi who was looking down at them on the high platform, and when the nobles confirmed that it was Peidi's voice, they all continued to show humble smiles.

"Cheers to our two young warriors. Pedi's loud voice came again.

"Cheers. ”

The nobles immediately responded, picking up the wine glasses that they didn't know who drank nearby, and even the two protagonists in the duel got up one after another.

After this drink, the entire banquet hall fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, a short old man dressed in a pale red aristocratic robe took the opportunity to stand out from the crowd, he walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Pedi, and said, "Your Excellency, you should rule for them. ”

Pedi's gaze fell on the old man at once.

Saviara immediately whispered, "Kekit Vane, a famous merchant in Crewe City, with the title of baron, engaged in commercial trade after selling his family domain twenty years ago. ”

Pedi's gaze lingered on the old nobleman for only a second, then he looked at Siala and asked, "Knight Sira, what do you think should be decided?"

"Damn it. ”

Hearing this, Sira immediately scolded in her heart, but her face showed enough humility, "My lord, I don't think the competition between these two people needs to be adjudicated. ”

"Why?"

"Because, their competition is simply worse than that of the peasants in the countryside. ”

"Haha. The aristocrats burst into laughter.

Cowan and Patin looked a little ugly, but they didn't have a seizure.

"Knight Sira, our bet is still waiting for the result, the goddess is above, Sir Cowan must have lost. ”

"You fart, Sir Patin fell first. ”

"It's Sir Cowan. ”

"Sir Pattin. ”

"Do you want to fight?"

"Come on, whoever wins. ”

The two groups began to roll up their sleeves and prepare for a new round of fighting, and the banquet hall returned to its original mess. However, the nobles would not be stupid enough to actually have a large-scale brawl in the banquet hall, so in the end, the gamble did not lead to anything.

And Baron Kekitt, the old nobleman who asked for Pedy's ruling, had already taken advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd.

"Kekitt is just a small person, although their chamber of commerce has been slowly expanding in recent years, they are still only a businessman, and he definitely does not dare to peep into Fort Cowind. Saviara whispered, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't torture, let him disappear. Pedi replied.

Seviara nodded in satisfaction, and the head of the guard, Glick, quietly left the banquet hall after Pedy's words landed.

"Knight Sira, what are you going to do, do you want to marry her?" said Saviara.

"Now, I don't think there's any need to marry her, right?" Pedi was stunned, "But, I like her a lot, so I'll let her serve in the Castle Knights' Guard, how about it?"

"No problem. "However, your marriage must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

"I understand," Pedi nodded, he didn't object, because he knew that his status was no longer the same, and at the moment, maybe the entire Kru nobles were staring at this position.

Pedi believes in love, but he doesn't believe that he can get love in his position at this moment...

However, he believed in marriage, like Emperor Laubert and Empress Diberlet, they had no love, but their marriage was stronger than anyone's.

"Then leave your marriage to me. Saviara had an expectant look on her face.
