Yves sent out an invitation to Count Lauzitz to ask for a duel in anger, and a duel between two nobles was a common thing, but as a knight, Yves challenged Count Lauzitz, who had a much higher status than himself, of course, it was not the first time that a low-level nobleman challenged a duel to a high-ranking nobleman, but Yves was putting himself in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and he didn't realize it at this time, and Count Lauzitz sat unhurriedly on the seat that his knight of the inner palace brought for him.

"Duel? Knight, you have to think clearly. Count Lauzitz grabbed a handful of grapes from the table, plucked one and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said vaguely.

"Of course, please accept Lord Count." Yves pushed away the nobles who blocked him around him, and straightened the clothes on his body, the price of this dress is not cheap, although it can't be compared with the fancy clothes on Count Lauzitz, but it is already very expensive for the Wendell family, Yves is very confident in his martial arts, he believes that as long as Count Lauzitz accepts the duel, he will definitely beat this arrogant earl to the point that his nose is blue and his face is swollen, as long as he will offend Duke Mason at this time, Yve, who was dazzled by anger, can no longer care.

"Hmph, well, Tarber will duel this knight in my place." The corners of Count Lauz's mouth curled up into a sly smile, and he stretched out his right hand and waved it at one of the knights of the Inner House behind him.

"What? I'm going to duel with you face to face. Yves was stunned, he didn't expect Count Rauzitz to let his knights duel on his behalf, but he couldn't say anything against it, because when a duel happened, the high-ranking nobles could appoint their own knights to do the work for him, which was even recorded in the Imperial Code.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy, uh, busy destroying these delicacies on the table, while my hundred knights are busy, I'll have to find something for them to do." Count Lauzitz's small eyes showed a playful look, and he moved like an actor on stage, and the ostrich feathers on his head fluttered with the swing of his head.

"Hahaha~~~." Count Lauzitz's performance and his words made the surrounding aristocrats feel that the whole thing was ridiculous, and they burst into laughter, indeed, even if Yves is a brave knight, it is impossible to deal with a hundred knights at the same time, which is the reason why the low-level nobles cannot challenge the high-level nobles, because the high-ranking nobles always have a large number of knights who serve them, and the low-level nobles cannot challenge the people they should really face in any case, and even the high-ranking nobles launch dueling challenges in order to trick the opponents, Let your inner knight exhaust the opponent's teasing, and only then will he end up with his own opponent This shameless thing happens, and this is completely legal in form.

"Shameless." Yves felt humiliated like never before, and the ridicule and gaze of the nobles around him made him even more embarrassed, and he stomped his feet angrily and cursed, but even this angry scolding was quickly drowned out in the laughter of the nobles, and Arold watched his brother being humiliated with a gloomy face, and he could no longer resist pushing aside the crowd and stepping forward.

"Lord Count Lauzitz, my brother just drank too much, I hope you will stop pursuing this matter, and I apologize for my brother's recklessness." Arold lowered his head, bent down and bowed to Count Lauzitz, Arold knew that his brother had fallen into the trap of Count Lauzitz, if the situation was allowed to develop, then Yves would definitely die at the hands of Count Lauzitz's knights, no, maybe Count Lauzitz would personally cut off Yves's life after cutting off Yves's hands and feet, don't underestimate the cruelty and bloodshed of the medieval nobles.

"Hmph, it was an invitation to a duel from him, and I have accepted it, how can I not start, all the nobles around me are witnesses." Count Lausitz twitched his big nose vigorously and smiled cruelly, he would not let go of this golden opportunity, and he had to leave something for this family who dared to despise him.

"Lord Duke, please show mercy and stop this duel." Sir Wendell would not allow his son to die in this unfair duel, and with tears in his eyes, he stepped forward to the Duke's table and knelt down on one knee to petition the Duke.

But the Duke of Mason's face was numb and expressionless, and he quickly made some calculations in his heart, for a little-known knight to offend his nephew, who held an army, which was not worth it at all, and decided not to interfere, and just as he was about to speak, Sir Able came up behind him, leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"Father, they are my friends."

"Hmm." It was this simple sentence that changed the fate of the Wendell family, and Duke Mason's eyes rolled, and then he raised his arm and looked at Count Lautz.

"Lord Duke." Seeing Duke Mason's movements, Count Lauzitz quickly got up from his seat, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and all the nobles waited with bated breath for the development of things, and suddenly the hall of the banquet was so quiet that the sound of needles falling could almost be heard.

"Vidin is enough to end this farce, I still have business to tell you." Duke Mason opened his mouth and called the name of Count Lauzitz, and said to him in a majestic voice, simple words echoed powerfully in the hall, and people bowed their heads everywhere Duke Mason's gaze went, and this sentence was equivalent to preventing the farce of the duel between Count Lauzitz and Yves.

"Yes, yes, my honorable duke." Count Lauzitz immediately bowed respectfully, and did not mention this duel, and the surrounding nobles saw that there was no excitement to see, and began to eat and drink again, although they were not talking about this farce in the banquet, but they could not help but secretly speculate with each other that this inconspicuous knight family had a special connection with the Duke of Mason's family, and whispers sounded from time to time in the hall of this banquet.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect my invitation to almost bring such a disaster to you and your family." When this happened, the men of the Wendell family had no interest in attending the banquet, and they left the hall after bidding farewell to the Duke, while Sir Able chased him to the gate and stood on the steps to apologize to Sir Wendell.

"No, Sir Abel, I am stupid, but I know that you have sheltered my sons many times, and the Wendells remember that." Sir Wendell felt very lost in his heart, he had always been proud to be a direct knight of the Duke of Mason, and had fought for this honor for the rest of his life, but he and his family were worthless in the eyes of the Duke of Mason, which made him feel extremely hesitant and helpless.

"Where, you are a knight who has served the Herman family for generations, and we the Herman family owe it to you." Sir Able sighed, and said with a very regretful tone, although he helped the Wendell family at the beginning because of Arrod's life-saving grace, but as he gradually got to know Sir Wendell and his family, he knew that this was an upright knight who was loyal to the Herman family, and his father was purely motivated by interests, completely ignoring the hearts of the people and the honor of knighthood, which he could not agree with in any way, so he tried his best to appease Sir Wendell.

"Kang~~." Suddenly, without warning, Yves drew his sword, and his action was very unexpected, and General Ralph, who was next to Sir Ebel, immediately put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, thinking that Eve, because he had been humiliated by the Earl of Lautz, was now angry and tried to disappoint Sir Ebel.

"Sir Able, please accept my sword." However, Yves did not do anything to attack Sir Ebel, he knelt down on one knee and held his sword in both hands, held it in front of Sir Ebel, and said, "I, heir to the Black Marsh Realm, Ive, the quasi-knight, swear to the God of the Devil that I will offer my sword and my life to you, Lord Ebel, and I will be faithful to the death, and if I break my oath, my soul will not be at peace, and my body will not be saved." ”

"What? What do you do here? Sir Able was taken aback, not expecting Yves to suddenly swear allegiance, much to his surprise and General Ralph, who was beside him.

"Please accept my sword as well." Arold looked at his brother's actions, and suddenly realized that his family had offended the most powerful Earl Lautz, and now only the first heir to Duke Mason could save the family, so he also drew his sword in a loud voice, presented it with both hands, and swore allegiance.

"And mine." Sir Wendell saw his sons' actions and realized that only Sir Able in front of him was the one who really wanted to help his family, and now he felt that it would be a good choice to pledge allegiance to Lord Ebel, who was more just than Duke Mason.

"You're embarrassing me." Sir Able's slender eyebrows were furrowed, and he was holding Sir Wendell in his arms, and the knight who was supposed to be loyal to his father had instead sworn to him, which caught him off guard.

"My lord, since Sir Wendell and his sons are so sincere, then you can accept it, and isn't allegiance to the Duke or to you to the Herman family?" General Ralph was relieved to see that the Wendell family had no ill intentions, and the legend of the Twin Knights on the battlefield was still ringing in his ears, and it was a good thing that Sir Able was able to have their services.

"Well, I, the eldest son of the Duke of Mason and the first heir to the title of Duke of Mason, Sir Abel accepts your allegiance, and let us join hands to defeat the Saxons." Sir Able solemnly took the swords of Ser Wendell, Yves, and Arrold and tapped them on their backs to accept the allegiance of the Wendell family, and completed the simple but meaningful knightly oath of allegiance at the gate of the Duke Mason's tower.
