Clang...... Clang...... Clang...... Clang......

The long bell broke the silence of the early morning, and the quaint bronze bell in the bell tower next to the ancient castle was rung rudely.

Only when there is an invasion or when something important is announced, the bell rings in the castle.

Curious people immediately gathered in groups of three or five to the square of the bell tower, ready to listen to the instructions of the Earl.

Count Sandria, however, was equally curious about the sudden sound of the bell.

With two loyal knights, he quickly came out of the castle and walked briskly to the square of the bell tower.

As a result, I saw a young man, desperately pulling the long hemp rope that connected the pendulum.

Driven by the hemp rope, the pendulum hit the body of the bell, and the long and heavy sound was still coming out.

The man who rang the bell was none other than Cepes, and he smiled slightly at Count Sandria, who had arrived.

The Count didn't know what Tsepes was going to do, but when he saw the two Ottoman soldiers at the bottom of the bell tower, he finally didn't stop Tsepes.

In fact, the whole thing has nothing to do with the Ottoman half of the Dniers.

The two Ottoman soldiers were ordered to keep an eye on Tsepeš and leave nothing else.

The bells rang around every corner of the castle, and in a few minutes the square was already full of people.

Except for the soldiers who were standing guard on the city walls, the people in the castle were basically here.

Braye and a dozen of his personal guards had also arrived in the square and stood beside Count Sandria.

"What is the situation, Mr. Earl, do you have anything to announce?"

Coming to Sandria's side, Buraye immediately asked questions.

"I didn't give the order, I thought it was you, the bronze bell that made Tsepes ring."

After a question and answer, the two of them focused their eyes on Cepes at the same time.

Almost at the same time, Tsepes loosened the twine and walked up to the crowd with a smile.

Glancing around, there were about 500 people gathered in the square, including soldiers, craftsmen, and servants.

Finally, Tsepes looked at Bula and explained why he had done all this.

"Your Excellency Envoy, yesterday you asked me why I had to stay up all night practicing my sword.

Now I can tell you the answer, I, for love! ”

The mood when Tsepes spoke was very full, as if he was acting in a wonderful drama.

In an instant, his mood changed from high-pitched to low, and he continued to perform in a slightly hoarse voice.

"A few days ago, at Viscount Muya's estate, I met the beautiful Miss Gina for the first time.

From the first moment we met, I felt like my soul no longer belonged to me.

This is the magic of love. ”

Tsepes clutched at his chest, his eyes blurred, as if he was imagining Miss Gina's appearance in his mind.

Then, with a very tangled look, he looked at Count Sandria.

"Uncle Sandria, allow me to say sorry, I know that the beautiful Miss Gina is Ferco's fiancée.

However, I knew this, but I couldn't help myself.

You're from here, and I think you should understand how you feel, and you'll understand what I'm going to do next. ”

Cepes's eyes were no longer confused or entangled, but a little more aggressive.

He looked at Ferco in the front row with blazing eyes and said his last lines.

"In the name of love, I, Cepes, the heir of Wallachia, will wage a sacred duel against you, Felco, the heir of the Nightingale's Castle.

The one who wins, can pursue the beautiful Miss Gina. The loser, whether he loves it or not, must give up.

Ferco, do you dare to accept my challenge! ”

This is Cepes's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

It can not only dispel Braye's concerns, but also break the marriage contract between Gina and Ferco.

Ferco in front of the square, when he heard Cepes say that he was in love with Gina, his face had already turned blue.

As a proud nobleman, even if he doesn't love Gina at all, he can't make any concessions.

He stepped out of the crowd two steps forward and looked at Cepes with murderous intent.

"Tepesh, I accept your challenge, I want you to know that you dare to humiliate me!"

This kind of duel in the name of love is by no means uncommon on the European continent, and it can be regarded as a drama that the broad masses of the people like to see.

As Ferco announced the battle, the crowd of onlookers immediately erupted in fierce cheers.

"Your Royal Highness the future Earl, break this guy's dog leg and let him get out of Nightingale Castle!"

"Filco, don't be careless, don't embarrass us at Nightingale Castle!"

The people of Nightingale Castle, of course, have to support the future successors of Nightingale Castle.

The noisy crowd in the square was almost all cheering for Filco, even if Cepes would soon become the Grand Duke of Wallachia.

The only exception, I'm afraid, was Arthur, who looked at Cepes with burning eyes and shouted:

"Come on Tsepesh! The happiness of beautiful Miss Gina depends on you! ”

This guy's shouting caused the people around him to look sideways, and no one thought it was strange when they saw that it was Arthur, and no one blamed Arthur.

After a commotion, Count Sandria stood up and looked at Cepes and then Ferko, his face usually showing no change in his mind.

"Looking at you young people, I have to sigh that I am already old.

I know very well that I can't stop this duel, and I just hope that you two will try not to hurt each other.

Whoever is hurt, my heart hurts, so please two young people, consider how I feel as an old man. ”

As a father, Count Sandria really didn't want to see tragedy happen.

Although he had fallen to Osman, the good memories of the past had not been erased, so he also did not want anything to happen to Cepes.

After Count Sandria, Buraille also came to him, and before the fellow could speak, Cepes grabbed the white word:

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for my recklessness, and if I die unfortunately, let my brother Radu inherit the title."

The words were arranged by Cepes in advance, because he knew in his heart that Buraye would never want to die himself.

For the Ottoman Empire, it made no difference whether Tsepeš or Radu or anyone else was a puppet.

But for Braille, it would be a remiss on his duty for Cepes to die in a ridiculous duel.

So this guy changed his original idea of watching the excitement and said in a very stern tone:

"Ferko, take care of your proportions, I won't allow you to hurt Cepes, do you understand!?"

Things have developed to this point, and the duel can no longer be stopped, so Blaye can only pull the sideline, which is exactly what Cepes calculated.

Although he has been training hard in the past few days, Ferco also claims to have practiced swordsmanship with the knights of his family since he was ten years old.

So before the duel, he had to buy an insurance policy here in Braye.

The plan was very successful, and Ferco, who had been full of war, had a stiff facial expression as if he had been enchanted by Medusa.

He hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to say, "Your Excellency, this is not fair, this is ......"

"There's nothing unfair about you, you're stronger than Cepes, taller than him, longer than he's been practicing swordsmanship.

A stronger, longer-trained adult man should have been able to handle a sixteen-year-old boy with good measure.

If you miss, I will take revenge as if you were deliberately taking revenge and report the matter to the Sultan. ”

Braye's irrefutable words sounded again, since he was a dog, he had to catch the frisbee thrown by his master.
