Chapter Seventy-Four: Revenge (I)
Emile raised her eyebrows and did not speak, but Avril replied with a smile:
"Marquis Roman laughed, Marquis Emir also galloped on the battlefield when he was young, a ......"
Roman glanced coldly at Avril and interrupted her.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"I have no problem with you standing up for those untouchables, that's your right as a royal family. But as I said back then, the Van Kings are a bunch of brainless fools, but they have to keep it, or sooner or later you will regret it. ”
He raised his wizened arm and pointed to the private flag of the Giber family fluttering in the distance.
"That bastard of the Valen family swallowed most of the Fankins family's territory with your connivance, and also accepted the professionals of the Fankins family, and now they are all standing opposite you, do you regret it?"
Without waiting for Avril to answer, he scolded with a cold face:
"Also, why didn't you burn down the royal capital? If you could have burned the royal capital to defend the palace, or if you had left the Van Kings family behind, would things have come to this point?
Think about the nobles who have been forced to rebel by you! Flange has fallen to this point today because of your stupidity! 500 years of history! More than ten generations of inheritance! If Flange dies like this, then you are its gravedigger!"
Avril was scolded with a wry smile on her face, and helplessly explained:
"Marquis Roman, if you burn the royal capital, at least nearly 10,000 people will die, and most of the remaining people who have no houses and food will freeze to death and starve to death, and the king must not burn them;
You also saw what the flange looked like before. After years of war before the founding of Fran, the population at that time was not even half of the pre-war population, and the current population is even lower than that of Fran I, not to mention the untouchables, even ordinary people can't live happily, and those nobles must be outlawed......"
"I don't care about that!"
Roman let out a loud cry, a long-suppressed anger on his wrinkled face.
"All I know is that before you, the queen, intervened, there was never a major problem with Flang. Since you began to issue those decrees, the barbarians in the north have begun to invade frequently, and the Holy Empire in the south has changed year after year.
In addition to these foreign enemies, the nobles of all sizes in the country rebelled, and even two dukes were driven out of their duchy by the rebels. The Van Kings family and our Anderson family have been in-laws for hundreds of years, and now they don't even have a noble name, am I also on your ban list?"
Avril's face also turned cold, she put away the smile on her face, and said lightly: "I don't have a problem with you thinking so, the Fankins family does have a lot in common with you, such as not treating people as human beings." ”
"Humph!" Roman glared at her with a dark face.
"Whether you admit it or not, commoners and nobles are different, as long as the balance between nobles is maintained, you can ......"
"That's it!"
Avril held out her hand to him, Her Majesty's outstretched palms were as white as snow, and her charming face was as cold as ice.
"Lord Roman, I have no interest in discussing with you the problems of nobles and commoners, I only want your token now! I ask you, if I give the order to charge Giber's camp, will you let your troops obey my orders?"
"Hmph!" With an exasperated grunt, a heavy iron plaque was thrown into Avril's hand, with the emblem of a neighing white horse on it.
"Here you go! I'm going to keep an eye on you, and if you do it again to lead Flange into the abyss, I'll call them back at once! Maybe my knife will get to your neck sooner than Giber!"
The thin old man returned to his unit with his guards in a rage, while the emir, who was watching the play, bowed with a smile.
"Your Majesty, since Your Excellency Roman has left, then I will not bother you. ”
Avril returned the salute gracefully and dignifiedly.
"The Marquis of Emir is polite, and I will rely on Your Excellency's support in the future. ”
After they had both left, Bourne approached and said to Avril with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, who is that old man, and how dare a marquis shout at you?"
Avril glanced up at Gibb's camp and smiled nonchalantly. "Alright, Lord Roman is good, and Giber is also a marquis, but much more than him. ”
Byrne nodded in disgust. "Yes, all of these marquis are so excessive, if only all of them were like the Marquis of Emir. ”
Avril shook her head. "No, it would be nice if everyone was Roman. ”
Looking at Byrne's puzzled gaze, Avril smiled without explanation.
The fat man of the Emile seemed to be easy to talk to, but in fact his belly was full of calculations, and Roman, though he was old-fashioned, unapproachable, and had a very poor opinion of himself, was probably the most loyal man to Fran by his performance.
As long as he represents the royal family of France, he will never do anything to himself. Even if he uses the status of the queen to suppress him, he can even temporarily hand over the command.
It's just that after all, he and the Fankins family have been in-laws for hundreds of years, and the Fankins family is mixed with Jiber, and he really didn't know what he thought before. If I had known that this was the case, it would have been better to look for him instead of Giber before......
Avril glanced wistfully in the direction of the Twilight Mountains.
As long as you suppress Gibb, I will be able to save you! William, you must hold on, don't die at the hands of that woman!
......
Her Majesty the Queen had been thinking about "that woman" at this time, half-lying and half-leaning on William's arms, looking at Amelian who had fallen to the ground with a complicated expression.
The female knight lifted her long legs and stepped off the horse, walked up to Amilian, and asked with some unacceptability, "Amilian...... Are you really my cousin?"
Amilian spat at the blood and nodded with difficulty.
"Jessica, don't blame my father for not knowing you, Aunt Flor ...... her in the first place"
William rode Xiaobai far away, rubbing Xiaobai's horse's head, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to them secretly.
William's understanding of this "backstory" is actually very limited.
The barbarian invasion, the death of the queen, the fighting between the Farrell family and the three major church branches, and finally the army of the undead broke through the gate of the dead country in one fell swoop, and fought fiercely with the Holy Empire in the southern passes of France for nearly ten years, and half of France was reduced to hell on earth......
The above series of incidents was solved in a few minutes of CG in the game, if it weren't for William's 'work' at Farrell's house, he wouldn't even know who Leonard was, and the grievances and hatreds behind these would be even more unclear.
As for Jessica's tragic life experience, it can be explained in three sentences.
Jessica's mother was born in the Holy Empire, the daughter of a minor nobleman, and was later persecuted by a big villain to ruin her family, so she had to flee to Fran and go to a scumbag's house to apply for a maid, and finally managed to stay.
However, Jessica's uncle's family did not die, but survived by luck, and after hearing the news of his sister, he came over, and heard that his sister was married and was going to come to the door to find relatives, but found that his sister was actually killed by his wolf-hearted brother-in-law.
Because her sister's two children are still alive, Jessica's uncle goes incognito and takes refuge in the woods to protect her sister's two children from adulthood, and vows to take everything away from that scumbag and make him repent of what he did.
......
William, who already knew the follow-up, wrote the ending of this royal revenge story in his mind, and even added a double-line narrative from Leonard's perspective.
I, Leonard, am a genius.
As a child, I witnessed my mother being strangled to death by my father's own hands, just because she didn't listen to my father and didn't enroll my stupid sister in an arcane cram school and a knight study group.
Since then, I have hated everything!
However, I am not strong enough, and I have to endure and endure until I become an adult.
I will pretend to be a waste, lower everyone's vigilance, until the day of the final reckoning, and personally overturn all the people who killed my mother, so that they can also feel the pain of this world!
I will also bring the man to me and make him kneel on his mother's spiritual seat...... Oh don't do this here, then kneel in front of his mother's relics, let him weep bitterly......
......
"I should have thought it was you, Leonard. ”
A middle-aged man was lying prone in the mud, covered in injuries, and he raised his head with difficulty, showing a relieved expression to his son.
