Chapter Seventy-Four: Born to Be Crazy (Part II)
The two of them walked into the council hall one after the other, and most of the lords of the Fields Kingdom gathered in the oval-shaped hall at this time. Unlike the other four countries on the Pander continent, Fieldsway's political system was a loose confederation of monarchies rather than a centralized monarchy, and the port cities of Windholm and Wallombrai not only had considerable autonomy, but were also the administrative centers of the surrounding villages, towns, and forts, as were the same as Jan Vikshu. Although Rufalo Vidis is called a king, he is actually the leader of the alliance, and every administrative order he needs to consult with the Marquis of "Red Sword" Aydin and "Iron Arm" Sigimund. This is a deformed political ecology formed after the large-scale marriage between the Vanderskerians and the unbearable Westland wealthy families in the past. The loose but aggressive sea breeze howls in the veins of every Vanderskerie pirate, and with the marriage of the marry, the pirate leaders who enter the house bring this casualness and aggressiveness into the rigid political circle. While Fields was still nominally part of the kingdom of Sarion, the city-state politics of the West Coast were free of hypocrisy and swords, only flying axes and staggered stalks. The pirates who became nobles attacked each other with women for territory, money, and food. At that time, Alfred was confronting Osa Sauron, who was marching north on the plains of Callindern, and although he wanted to put the chaos in order on the west coast, his opponent, who was once a famous general of Gurakes and was now crowned emperor, did not allow him to be distracted. By the end of the war between Sarion and the Empire, the Sigimunds had used force to unite the West Coast into a loose alliance that would be the prototype of today's Kingdom of Fieldsway. The leader of the alliance, or the king, is not hereditary, but has to go through the review of the wind god Harf Saiga, and the way of evaluation is very simple and crude, the candidates who want to be the king fight with the king, whoever wins, who gets the blessing of the wind god, becomes the king, and is qualified to become the lord of Yanvikshuo and its surrounding areas. This incomprehensible and brutal method of deliberation was called the "Aeolian Review" by historians of the Royal College of Boimbro, until Rufalo Vidis designed the abolition of the "Iron Fist" that challenged him to the throne, and Inna did not officially abolish it, but only restrained it. After all, except for the king's candidate, whenever there are nobles who disagree and disagree, Harf Saiga is also the best commentator - one person from each side of the two sides of the opinion, and whoever wins, the wind god thinks he has a point, but in the case of special reasons, the wind god's review is not recognized. In the past, the Marquis of "Red Sword" Aydin relied on Hercules, the only super-first-class martial artist in the West, and never dared to disobey his younger brother, the retinue of the Marquis of "Fork Hu" Airy, and took a lot of advantage in the Fengshen review.
It's not that Maryse didn't want to escape the judgment by relying on the Anemo God's review, but as I said before, even the Anemo God would not shelter the particularly unreasonable people - this was the consensus reached before the Fields Kingdom was established, otherwise the West Coast would have been turned upside down.
"Are you really going to marry Rugbjor Aydin?" Maryse gritted her teeth and thought that she had seen the man standing behind the Marquis of Aydin, smiling at her, with a sly and smug eyebrow. That is "Big Bear" Rugbyjo Edin, the eldest son of the Marquis of "Red Sword" Edin. This man was burly and had a lot of body hair, so he got the nickname "Big Bear". He was so proud of this that he would bare-chested himself when he was half-drunk at a banquet, and he could be said to be a very typical Vanderskerian aristocrat. Of course, on this occasion, Ragbjörg was still dressed in a formal suit, and Rao was so, and he could also see the gray-brown body hair running into the sleeve on the back of his hand. Marise glared at him, and Rugbjerg still grinned at her.
Hercules took a light step and blocked Maris's view: "Marquis Aydin is here, he has been in a bad temper lately, Sir Dalyan killed most of his elite in Wallombray, and he had to spend a lot of money to ask the Knights of the Dawn." If you don't have a good eye, it is easy to cause misunderstandings. ”
"Who watched him?" Maryse whispered angrily, "What does it matter to me staring at his son?" ”
"Of course it's none of the Marquis' business," said Hercules patiently, "but he can misinterpret it as his business, for Rugbjjo is standing behind the Marquis." He stopped, and Maryse realized that the two of them were already standing in the center of the council chamber, and countless eyes were focused on them, mixed with different emotions: regret, anger, incomprehension, and schadenfreude. Maryse glanced at her father secretly, and the Marquis of Sigimund, grim-faced, sat to the left of King Vidis, and spoke softly to the king, his gaze never turning to her. On the contrary, Ragbjorr's gaze on her face became hotter and hotter, staring at Maris's heart.
"Someone brought?" Marquis Aydin raised his eyelids, "Hercules, you can go out." Generals can't stay in the council chamber. ”
Hercules stood straight and did not move: "As the adjutant general of the garrison of Porhurabans, I have failed to persuade Miss Marises to indulge in the drunkenness of the sergeant, and I am guilty of neglect; The subsequent pursuit was also in vain, and the responsibility was dereliction of duty. ”
"You're not primarily responsible, are you?" The Marquis of Aydin said impatiently, "Do you want me to invite you out?" ”
"Don't dare." Hercules remained motionless.
Marquis Edin frowned slightly: "Then you can be there." He didn't take Hercules' attitude to heart, but the Marquis of Airy cursed: "Shameful thing." ”
Hercules laughed it off.
"Let's get started." King Vidis said that he was also a standard Fields strong man, but that his long political career had made him look a little out of shape. A dark aura hovered between his eyebrows, making him look a little like the Marquis of Edin. The two sat side by side, like two elusive old wolves.
"After discussion, it was previously discussed that Marith Sigimund, as the commander of the garrison of the Porhulaban, connived at the soldiers' drunkenness, which caused the grain and grass to be burned by the enemy, and deserved to be punished with death. However, the Marquis of Siggimond, the Marquis of Aydin, and the lords vouched for her, so the death penalty was not passed. The Marquis of Sigimond loved his daughter and understandably. Now, I would like to hear the opinion of the Marquis of Adine. King Vidis looked at Marquis Adine. Among Fieldsway, the most powerful voice is none other than him and the three marquis of "Iron Arm" Siggimond, "Red Sword" Aydin and "Fork Hu" Airy. As a king, his weight is not low, but the two brothers of Edin Airy are in the same spirit, and the Marquis of Airy has always looked at his brother as the head of the horse, and the combined weight of the two is enough to compete with the king. At this time, the attitude of the Marquis of Sigimund was very weighty. Today he was on the same side as Edin Airy in a rare way—no, it was the two Edin Airy brothers who rarely echoed the Marquis of Siggimond. At this time, even the opinion of the king himself did not matter.
"Well," Marquis Aydin replied, "it's simple, I don't want to put Maryse to death, because Ragbjerg, the bastard, wants to ask her to be his wife." And I asked Maryse to come and ask her if she agreed to marry her. If not, then I support the decision to execute her. ”..
