Duke Borot took advantage of the Emperor's disgust with the rabble in the taverns, and he deliberately did not call Kaigen out with him, just to let the dwarf use his sword and gun to teach them a lesson. Although the death of the Standing Immortal was a bit beyond his expectations, it was still within the controllable range. This kind of ruffian hooligan has a lot of criminal records, and he usually doesn't bother to care about it, but now at this critical moment, he can make the murderer a big hero as soon as he turns it out. They are real ants, and they can be trampled to death at any moment.

Albert cares about his father and the safety of his country, and finds it difficult for Kagundy to accept the killing. Although he knew the temper of the dwarf, and knew that the other party was trying to vent his anger on himself and the tavern waitress, it seemed a bit too much. If Emperor Deliot were to seize the handle, he would have to regret it.

Duke Borot saw his son's thoughts, so he smiled and comforted: "The emperor, he has long been disgusted with these headless people, and some of the situations in the arena just now made him unbearable. Kagan was a bit reckless, but I don't think it would hurt much. ”

Albert was skeptical, and he followed his father back to his lodging place in silence and sullenness. It was Adrian who was coming at him, which was beyond Xiao A's expectations, and he was surprised and delighted, and patted his head with the palm of his hand to get rid of the dizziness that had just been caused by excessive blood loss and excessive anger.

At Adrian's feet was a stranger, a little-known inmate in the Imperial Capital Prison. Because of his overzealous actions, he is now in an embarrassing situation.

In order not to worry Albert too much, the former prisoner had changed into clean clothes, and the wounds on his chest and back were deliberately hidden, and he did this with the other purpose of relieving the poor prisoner of his mistakes.

Before Xiao A and the others could open their mouths to ask, the poor man crawled with great difficulty on his knees, knelt in front of Borot and his son, and desperately banged his head on the ground, repeating a few words on his lips: "Spare your life, spare your life!"

He is a junior official at the lowest level, and these people have a common characteristic, they all have an innate judgment of the faces of big people. Although Borot and his son were wearing civilian clothes that day, the first time the man saw them, he already decided that these two were the biggest officials here.

Such a man was cruel and harsh to his subordinates, and flattering to the point of disgusting, and his actions surprised both Albert and Duke Borot, and for a moment could not understand what was happening.

Adrian tried to be as brief as he could, and tried to make the poor man's guilt as light as possible. He basically ignored the fact that he had been tortured, and only stated that the emperor had asked this person to pay compensation to the Duke and His Royal Highness. At that time, the crowd in the arena was excited, and arresting himself was actually a protective role, and now that the real murderer has been exposed, it is logical that he will be released. This prisoner is unlucky, it is a stepping stone for the emperor, so there is no need to embarrass him too much.

Duke Borot nodded his head from time to time as he listened to Adrian's narration, and he was very satisfied and relieved that his son had such a sensible man to escort him.

Albert motioned for the prisoner to stop kneeling on the ground, but the other man refused or dared not get up. He was originally afraid that Adrian would take revenge on him with this, but he didn't expect that the other party was like the legendary Eight Great Saints of the Bojiao, instead of falling into the well, he pulled himself with a merciful hand. A ripple inadvertently rippled in his heart, making him uncomfortable, and his bureaucratic mask was torn open and the skin inside was touched.

The prisoner did not dare to raise his eyes at anyone, and he was ashamed of himself.

Seeing that the duke and father had no intention of punishing the man, Adrian quietly signaled that he could leave.

Albert is now preoccupied with certain questions that will never have the right answer. He became more and more incomprehensible to the emperor and the people. Those rabble are like grass on the wall, and they fall wherever the wind blows. They have no insight or thought of their own, and as long as a smart person lights a slight fire behind the butt and shakes a fan, these people will be driven like sheep. To deal with these people, shouldn't there be a powerful emperor to sit in the center?

If his previous thoughts were not very stable, then these lessons this time have taken deep root.

The more young Albert thought about it, his brain gradually became overwhelmed, and he fell asleep at the table with his chin on his hands. In a trance, it seems that I have come to an unknown place, where there are pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and phoenixes, and at first glance it is the place of a rich and noble family. He looked curiously east and west, intending to see all the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, a familiar voice popped out of nowhere and called him, Xiao Ah searched around, but he didn't see any figure. He asked politely, "May I ask whose residence is this, and is anyone there?"

There was no response for half a day. Albert felt that he was trespassing on someone else's mansion and decided to go back and exit. But I don't know how, the door that I just came in is now tightly closed, and no matter how hard you try, it won't move.

Xiao Ah was a little anxious, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he still asked politely tentatively: "I am Albert of the Duchy of Borot, and I have to go to the palace for a banquet tonight, if it is delayed, it will have a great impact on my father and the entire Duchy of Borot." Please let me go back!"

The voice sneered, and said in a very charming tone: "Your Highness, don't you know me, I'm Claudia!"

"Princess, how did you come to this imperial capital, Cisa, how is the garrison of Birti, has the Kentan Kingdom launched a new offensive, and how are the Crawford brothers?"

"Your Highness, you care about too many people and things, you should rest and rest, take care of your body, and don't work too hard!" The voice obviously had a caring tone, "You are now in the prime of life, and you should enjoy the love of men and women, but you are affected by family affairs and state affairs, and your character has been worn out, how can this be good!"

Albert was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect Claudia to persuade himself like this, it wasn't at all like what she could say. Xiao Ah looked around, and realized that he was in a dream at the moment, and he was fluttering and swaying, wandering around in the strange mansion, as if he had forgotten his business, and no longer thought about the Rausch who attended the banquet.

He was alone for a long time, and at last he could not help but shout at the voice again, "Princess, where are you, why don't you show up?"

"Your Highness, I am now Count de Stini. The responsibility is very heavy, and as a woman, I have to redouble my efforts to govern my country well. I still know your true feelings for me, but you are the heir of the Duchy of Borot, and I am a countess, and you will not be able to condescend to my family. The small state of Destini did not have the luxury of annexing the Elector Borot Principality. We are destined not to go together, so let's go our separate ways!"

"Princess, I ......" Albert was suddenly thrown into the abyss by this real problem. Yes, she is a countess, and if she wants to grow old with her, she must join her family, how can this be? Everything she has done before is for the sake of preserving the entire Duchy of Borot. If you once abolish official affairs for the sake of your children's private affairs, wouldn't you be laughing and generous? The death of the old Count of Destini was too opportune, and if the old man was still alive, he would be able to marry Princess Claudia justifiably, and in the future this Count could be incorporated into the Duchy of Borot. Now the situation is completely opposite, Claudia has become a countess, and her marriage must be married by a man, which is really a great irony and curse! As soon as a woman's status rises, it will be difficult to find a good man, let alone the door?

Seeing that Albert was lost in thought, the voice changed its tone and said, "Your Highness, my lady-in-waiting Catherine, don't you think about it?

Albert didn't speak, he realized the absurdity of the dream and decided to use his senses to wake himself up as soon as possible.

His steps were uncontrollable, and his hands were not at his disposal. He mechanically moved back to the door, trying to push open the solid exit with his hands. The wound on his arm was bleeding again, but strangely enough, Albert himself didn't feel pain, he thought of the gladiator in the arena who had been tortured to death by the trolls, and the waitress in the Brown Bear Tavern who had been molested by the Standing Fairy.

Albert heard movement around him, and it seemed that several people were calling out to him. He lifted his heavy eyelids slightly, and saw his father, Kai Gen and the others standing on the edge of the bed looking at him. He whispered, "Where am I, what's wrong with me?"

"You've lost a lot of blood, you've fainted, and you've been overworked lately, and that's it. Duke Borot was quite calm, he repeated the doctor's words, and told his son to keep silent and lie down and recuperate.

"Father, what about the dinner in the evening, what time is it?" Albert still couldn't let go of the entanglement of reality.

"I will be courteous to His Majesty the Emperor, and I believe he will be considerate. In about an hour, the feast will begin. I'll take Lecles with me, and Kagan and Adrian will stay and take care of you. ”

"Father, Kaigan loves to drink, you can bring him with you!" Albert, even though he was sick, still didn't forget to worry about his buddies.

The dwarf rarely shouted: "Your Highness, I won't go to this banquet, anyway, I've drunk enough in the Brown Bear Tavern!"

"The waitress had been here before, but since you hadn't woken up yet, she quietly left again. Duke Borot did not forget this detail.

The father and son were silent for a while, and the old duke took Lecles to the palace for a banquet.
