"Alright, let's get down to business. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis time, we need to pay 3000 gold for your impulsiveness!2000 gold and a set of swordsman gear worth 1000 gold. That's already a tenth of my family's annual income. It can be said that the loss this time is quite large, so big that I also have to feel heartache. Of course, the more heart-wrenching must be your mother, hehe. By this time, the Count's mood was much lighter, and he was so pleased with his son's progress that he even made jokes.

Hearing his father speak in this tone, Matthew's heart finally returned to his stomach when he mentioned his throat. He knew that his big trouble was basically over, and at most he would still be a little embarrassed in Gale's house after that, but in his own family, neither his father nor his mother would reprimand him for this. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, to let the parents understand that he has deeply learned the lessons of this incident.

"Please deduct 70 gold coins from my monthly pocket money, so that I can make up for it in about 43 months to make up for my mistakes. Matthew again offered to cut off his pocket money. He understands a truth, at this time, the more he can get his father's praise, the less impact this incident will have on himself, so that his father will not remember it, which is more important than anything else.

The Earl smiled, waved his hand, and rejected his son's suggestion: "It doesn't have to be like this! 3,000 gold coins is just a drop in the bucket for the Earl's Court, and if you can use this money to buy this lesson, I think it's still worth it." Besides, if you don't have more than 100 gold a month, minus 70, how can the remaining 30 be enough? Don't let the small be the big one. ”

"Thank you, father!" said Matthew, standing up and saluting respectfully to the Count, "then, father, shall we go to Gael's house now?"

Hearing this, the earl stood up and nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's hurry up, not only to show sincerity, but also to leave some time for the other nobles." ”

Count Alpha knew that with the return of the two viscounts, those low-ranking nobles who had not found themselves in the Sheriff's Department would inevitably find out from them. I believe that most of the people involved in this are already preparing the gift money.

After the conversation in the study, it didn't take long to prepare, and Count Alpha took Matthew and rode in a carriage to the castle of the Gael's family.

At this time, Lord Deka, the sheriff of Shining City, was at Viscount Gael's house, and this time, Gale was at home, listening to Baron Deca's report expressionlessly.

Baron Deka spoke cautiously at this time. He leaned forward, observing Viscount Gael's expression from time to time, and the cold eyes and blue face of the other party made him nervous, and the few strands of chestnut hair on his forehead were soaked with constant sweat, and clung to the corners of his forehead in embarrassment.

I have to say that Baron Deka at this time did not have the calmness he faced with Mrs. Betty yesterday, but lost the demeanor of a nobleman.

"Here's how it happened, Lord Gael, the Sheriff's Office has closed the case, and the proceedings regarding the lawsuit have been sent to the Noble Court, and within three days, the case concerning the malicious injury of your son, Master Hughes, will be heard. It wasn't that fast, but the Count ordered us to do it with our best efforts......"

"The words of the Earl's young master, Matthew, have had a very bad effect, do you mean that?" the expressionless Gale suddenly turned his head to stare at Baron Deca, and asked this sentence without emotion.

"Uh......", Baron Deka felt his heart beat to a halt when he heard this, and he replied hesitantly, "Probably... Maybe... Maybe a little bit, Master Gail, but you know, that shouldn't be the main reason. ”

Betty, who was sitting behind Gale, was already red and trembling with anger, and at this moment, as soon as she heard the words of the other party trying to exonerate the count, her heart was even more angry, and she was about to stand up in a moment.

However, a large hand happened to gently grasp her hand and pulled her back onto the couch with a slight force.

"Gail," said Mrs. Betty, with red eyes and a trembling voice, "how would you feel if our son were to be injured or even killed by this? What would you do?

"Betya, don't get excited, the Sheriff's punishment won't fully represent our opinion. Gail calmly comforted.

Baron Decca didn't realize what he meant at first, but after only a moment, he could barely suppress his emotions and let out a cry. Because the meaning of the ruthless viscount in front of him turned out to be that he might personally take action after the court verdict and punish those teenagers involved in his own way, even if the other party was the earl's son-in-law.

Baron Deka immediately understood that this was the other party's expression of strong dissatisfaction, and his underwear was suddenly soaked with cold sweat. Although he was very angry in his heart, the other party dared to ignore the noble court in front of him, but he could only hold it in his heart, and he did not dare and could not vent these angers.

The baron was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and persuaded him: "My lord, Lady Betty, I also have children, of course I understand your feelings, but don't be excited about the two of you, we should believe that the noble court will give the Horton family a satisfactory answer." Besides, I have already reported the matter to the Earl after I came, and he said that he would personally bring Matthew to your house to apologize. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gail's expression changed slightly, and Mrs. Betty was equally stunned, and then stopped talking.

After all, Count Alpha is the lord of Glorious City, and he is the blood of the royal family, if the Earl comes in person, it will indeed give the Gale family a lot of face. Thus, although Matthew's mistake is not small, it is not unforgivable.

Seeing that the persuasion was useful, Baron Deka immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade: "Moreover, since Lord Earl will come in person, then Angele's father, Viscount Villa, and Dayal's father, Viscount Nottingham, will definitely come to apologize in person, and the subsequent barons will not be absent." With so many nobles coming in person, I think their intentions are sincere enough, please give these simple-minded and impulsive children a chance to change their lives for the sake of everyone's face as the nobles of Glorious City. ”

Mrs. Betty glanced at her husband, and to be honest, she did hesitate at this point. It doesn't seem like it's worth falling out with the old friends of Shining City on the premise that the child hasn't been hurt much. So as long as the other party is sincere enough, it is not impossible to forgive them. Aside from the murderous guy named Hiss, of course.

Gale did not respond to his wife, he stared at Deka coldly, and suddenly asked sharply, "Are you threatening me with everyone? Do you think I'll let go of the people who hurt my son because of some verbal apologies and gold coins?!"

At the same time as Gale questioned, a powerful momentum violently spread around him, and the invisible powerful force actually whistled in the friction with the air, and Baron Deka had to immediately close his eyes, shut his mouth and lean back, and the wet hair that was originally attached to the corners of his forehead flew up in an instant, and exploded backwards along with the other untied hair.

The baron could not help but exclaim, the cold that was on the verge of death stimulated him to cry hysterically, and there was no trace of aristocratic demeanor to speak of. At this moment, he had a thought: to escape from the castle, as far away from the feared Gale as possible, as for the task of persuasion...... To hell with it.

The voice of Sheriff Deka almost tore through the roof of the living room, and not far away, the maid who was waiting to refill the water bottle for him was startled, and with a shake of her hand, she threw the bottle out of her hand and smashed it on the smooth ground, shattering it to the ground with a thud.

Madame Betty shook her husband's arm and whispered in Gail's ear, "Well, it's not the Baron's fault, and it would be rude for our family to spread it." ”

Gail snorted coldly, and although he was still angry in his heart, he still followed his wife's advice.

The strong pressure surrounding the Baron in the living room suddenly disappeared, and Baron Deca, who had been suffering for a short time, only felt a sense of relief, and then collapsed limply.

Faced with such a situation, Gail looked at his wife speechlessly, shook his head, and signaled that it was not his fault. Mrs. Betty covered her mouth with her left hand and chuckled, and then patted her husband on the shoulder with her right hand.

"Look at you, he's just an ordinary person. Now, Lord Sheriff is stunned at Viscount Gael's castle, and the news has come out that others don't know what to think of our family!" Lady Betty wrinkled her nose and complained to Gale.

Gail spread his hands and replied innocently: "I just want to scare him, who knows that he can't help but be scared, you know, I used less than a third of my strength just now." ”

Mrs. Betty laughed at her husband's quibbles and hit him again.

"Lina, come and help the Baron clean up, and then go and help him get a basin of water and wipe the sweat from his head. Mrs. Betty commanded, and the pale maid beside her, who was biting her lip, immediately ran over. Just now, she dropped the water bottle in her hand, and when she was worried that Madame would punish her, she didn't expect Madame to even ask about it, which made her little heart beating at speed finally be able to rest and catch her breath.

"Yes, ma'am. Madame, I'm sorry, I just ...... "When the maid called Lina approached, she did not first help the baron clean up her appearance, but first pleaded guilty to Madame.

However, as soon as her apology came out, she was interrupted by Madame, and Mrs. Betty smiled gently: "It's okay, you missed because of that scream, it's normal, just be careful in the future." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" said Lina, who was overjoyed, bowed gratefully to her mistress, and then began to serve the baron with gentle and serious movements.

Madame Betty consulted with her husband again, "Do you think it is possible that the Baron said that the Earl would come in person?

Speaking of this, Gail's face was full of anger, and he said unhappily: "Why do you want to open the net, with my combat exploits and the strength of the high-level Great Sword Master, it is a logical thing to be promoted from viscount to earl, everyone is about to be equal, why should I give him face." You also know that this is completely the result of the jealousy of those bunch of boys, and if it weren't for his stimulation, this might not have happened at all!"

Mrs. Betty sighed and gently stroked her husband's hair: "This is indeed the case, as a mother, don't I, as a mother, feel more sorry for what happened to my son than you?" Of course I am not against revenge, but the target of revenge is better to be determined to be on Hiss alone, and the children of other families should be scolded. I know you can't swallow this breath, after all, it's just an ignorant and impulsive child's trouble, not to mention that these children are all from old friends' houses. The Earl's son Matthew is not to mention, but only Dayar of the Nottingham family, how much punishment can you give him? If you don't punish him severely, you have no reason to punish the other children. So, it's better to hold it high and let it go gently. ”

This thorough analysis caused Gail to close his eyes, inhale deeply, and exhale slowly. After repeating it a few times, Gail opened his eyes again, and said a little unwillingly: "But after all, Theseus has suffered such a big loss, and the other party wants to cut off my son's hands and feet, so vicious, I am really a little unwilling not to teach them a profound lesson!"

Mrs. Betty laughed, and by this she knew that her husband's heart was actually very bright, but because of his deep love for his son, he could not swallow that breath. As long as a breakthrough is found and Gail's anger is successfully discharged, the atmosphere between the nobles of Glorious City, which is already somewhat tense, will inevitably return to its original friendliness, and even be more affectionate. And the Horton family can also become another aristocratic center in Shining City in addition to the city lord's earl's house. The great benefits are self-evident!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Betty's eyes flickered, and she suddenly remembered a good idea.

"Gail, why don't we call Theseus and tell him about it, and let him decide what to do with those children, what do you think?

Gail was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded slightly and smiled: "Yes, this is a good way to train him." The heir can't be a brave guy with no brains. ”

Just as Lady Betty sent someone to call Theseus, the sheriff also woke up with the gentle wiping of the wet towel in the hand of the maid Lina.

"Lord Gail, please don't be angry, please don't be angry, I'm neutral, neutral!" As soon as the sheriff opened his eyes, he saw that the owner of the castle was looking at him, and immediately recalled the scene before he fainted, and his body immediately shook involuntarily, and he closed his eyes and began to shout loudly again. This reaction frightened Lina, who was helping him, shudder again. However, this time she insisted on picking at the towel in her hand and did not throw anything.

"Don't be afraid, Master Deca, Gale has no ill will towards you!" Lady Betty glared at Gale again, then walked over and patted the Baron on the shoulder, whispering to comfort him.

"Ahh

Viscount Gale was helpless, so he had to cough his throat lightly, ready to open his mouth to comfort the other party. But he didn't expect that it was a light cough, which seemed to the baron to be like thunder in his ears, his originally slightly trembling body froze suddenly, twisted his stiff neck with difficulty and turned his face to look at Gail, his mouth was also closed tightly, and his face squeezed out some smiles, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing the other party like this, Gail felt a little sweaty in his heart, he knew that he really scared the baron badly.
