Chapter 34: The Court Banquet (Part II)
"How did you mess with this guy? He's a man who can't be repaid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Hulim asked as he nibbled on a chicken leg and leaned over to Ye Chen's side.
"What, you know him?"
"The most uneducated prince of the Connors Empire's royal family, who doesn't know?" Hulim pursed his lips disdainfully, casually tossed the leftover bones and continued, "Besides, have you forgotten the intelligence capabilities of the Thieves Guild? George Connors, the second prince of the Empire, is a junior swordsman, unlearned, arrogant, retributive, disregardful of civilians, and the first of the four scourges of Fina City. ”
"In addition, he used to do ......" Hulim suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to a certain place, "I'm sorry, Ye Chen, I have something to leave." ”
"Well, there you go." Ye Chen nodded and continued to eat, but his eyes moved intentionally in the direction of Prince George.
"Father, I still think that the duel between the slave Ye Chen and Will Miller should not be counted, Ye Chen must have cheated to win, how can a slave win against a nobleman." I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Prince George's voice was a little loud, and it attracted the attention of most nobles at once.
The nobles immediately whispered, and from time to time looked at Viscount Will, who was alone in the corner of the dinner, and a nobleman who seemed to be the Miller family said disdainfully: "It's obviously that waste can't be done by himself, and what can't be counted, we don't want to mention it ourselves, is Prince George trying to help him turn the tables?" ”
The other nobles immediately responded: "Yes, yes, even the Temple of Fetos has admitted it, and there is nothing else that cannot be counted." ”
"If you are sick, it's the same if you fight again, the brave man is much stronger than him."
"Boring, I'm sure Your Majesty won't agree."
In the face of the whispers of many nobles, Viscount Will still drank the wine and didn't even mean to turn his head to look at it or argue, but there was a touch of bitterness and ridicule on his face.
Emperor Frank frowned and looked at Prince George suspiciously, just told people that this matter would not be mentioned again, you slapped your face in the blink of an eye, or is it not my own, so disobedient?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand Prince George, Emperor Frank inadvertently caught a glimpse of Prince George always looking at the Marquis of Valentine in the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, and a trace of understanding flashed in his heart, hum! You're an old guy again, and you're really restless!
"I've already told you not to mention this matter again, the duel has been approved by the Temple of Fetos and should be counted, don't you listen?" Emperor Frank spoke calmly, but there was already a hint of anger in his tone.
Prince George was shocked by Emperor Frank's momentum for a while, and he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth several times, so he could only look at Marquis Valentin with a pleading look, and Marquis Valentin immediately chuckled and walked out of the crowd slowly.
"Your Majesty, it's not right for you to say that." The nobles automatically parted ways, and the Marquis of Valentine walked up to Emperor Frank step by step and said with a smile: "Throughout the history of the empire, there has been a case where a nobleman was defeated by a commoner in a duel, and even if there was, it was the result of cheating.
So I think Ye Chen's duel with Will Miller must be repeated, otherwise who knows if anyone cheated in the last duel? ”
As soon as the words of the Marquis of Valentine came out, many nobles were collectively confused, what was the situation? Why did the Marquis of Valentine say the same, this is to support His Royal Highness the Prince to turn the tables for Will Miller?
However, there were always wise people among the nobles, and they immediately understood what the Marquis of Valentine meant, and immediately chimed in: "Yes, that's right, you have to do it all over again!" ”
With the person taking the lead, even if the others still haven't been able to react, they also understand that they must follow the pace of the Marquis of Valentine at this time, and if they are slow, they will lose a chance!
"That's right, if you want to do it all over again, someone must have cheated!"
"Do it all over again, you have to do it all over again! I don't believe that slaves can defeat the aristocracy! ”
Marquis Valentine was very satisfied with the current situation, his eyes were full of pride, and he continued with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, now everyone thinks that the last duel should be repeated, so what does Your Majesty think it should be?" ”
A trace of anger flashed in Emperor Frank's eyes, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he said: "Everyone, please be quiet, I understand that everyone wants to do the duel again, but this also requires the consent of the two parties, and we can't force it, so let's listen to what the two parties have to say." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't agree." As soon as Emperor Frank's words fell, Ye Chen walked out of the crowd with a glass of wine and said: "I won't accept such a boring duel, last time was just a misunderstanding, there is no deep hatred between me and Viscount Will, and I didn't force him to implement the original agreement, why do you have to ask for it again, is it fun to whip the corpse?" ”
"Okay, Lord Brave doesn't agree to another duel, so what about you, Will Miller?" Emperor Frank smiled and nodded at Ye Chen, turning to look at Viscount Will in the corner.
"Will promises, so you can be ashamed!"
"Yes, this is a good opportunity for you to turn the tables, you must not want to be a noble person anymore, right?"
Some nobles persuaded Viscount Will to come, but Viscount Will did not respond to these people, but slowly drank the wine in his hand, then stood up and glanced at Ye Chen, showed a smile and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I don't agree either." ”
"Idiot, do you still want to be a noble disgrace?"
"Damn, are you drinking and getting confused?"
"Shut up!" A touch of anger and ridicule appeared on Viscount Will's face, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at all the nobles and said: "You really make me feel disgusted, you used to be unwilling to associate with me, and all of them disliked me, but now just because of a word from the Marquis of Valentine, you don't dislike me?" Go on, why don't you continue? I'm so ridiculous for you! ”
"You ......"
"Abominable ......"
"Enough! Since both parties disagree, then the matter is over! Emperor Frank snorted coldly, looked around at the nobles and continued: "I don't want anyone to mention this matter again in the future, you guys are good to do it. ”
"But, Father, the Emperor ......," Prince George seemed to want to say something, but after being glared at by Emperor Frank, he could only nod his head resignedly.
Hum! It's a good thing that I've been ruined by Will Miller's waste, but there's a lot of time, so let's play slowly! Marquis Valentine took a deep look at Viscount Will, turned and walked out of the manor.
"Will Miller, Will Miller, you are really a disgrace to our nobles, and I thought you would do everything you could to save face, but I didn't expect you to be like this, hehe." Baron Hamill shook his head and sighed, then left the manor after the Marquis of Valentine.
With a glass of wine, Ye Chen came to Viscount Will's side and raised his glass and smiled: "Have a drink?" ”
Viscount Will glanced at Ye Chen indifferently, raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Ye Chen lightly.
"Would you like to be friends with me now?"
"Nope." Viscount Will shook his head, took a sip of wine and said, "I just don't like people to make a fuss about my business, and I can't get used to the hypocrisy of those nobles, although I am also a nobleman." ”
"Hehe, okay." Ye Chen smiled faintly and shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
Returning to the table where the food was placed again, when Ye Chen was about to eat something more, Louise came to his side anxiously and asked, "Ye Chen, have you seen little Sophie, I have been looking for her for a long time but I haven't found her." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll let Hulim look for it." Ye Chen signaled Louise not to be in a hurry with his eyes, and then turned his head and shouted, "Hulim, where is you?" Come out! ”
"Not there? Hulim, come out for me if you're not drunk! He called again, but Hulim neither appeared nor responded, but instead attracted the dissatisfied eyes of some nobles, Ye Chen could only smile apologetically and pull Louise to the corner.
"When did little Sophie disappear?"
Louise shook her head and said with a crying voice: "Sister Sheffield was still playing with her just now, but when I looked for her again, she was gone, and Sister Sheffield also said that she didn't see it, what should I do?" ”
"Don't worry, let me think."
Little Sophie is gone, and so is Hulym, isn't it? A bad premonition suddenly flashed in Ye Chen's heart.
