Chapter 257: No Distinction Between Good and Bad (Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription)
"Your Majesty! It's all my fault for not being strict with me, so please cancel the duel for the sake of my years of service to the kingdom! "Malfoy Andal, an old man who is almost 70 years old, is now on his knees before Queen Hembo.
In the continent of Faerun, kneeling is not very popular, especially among nobles. Like in ancient times of the Celestial Empire, the emperor was high above, and the ministers below him, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, and shouting three times would never appear in the Faeron Continent.
Here, the relationship between the aristocracy and the monarch is a little more equal, more like a large shareholder to a small shareholder in a company, although there is a distinction between superiors and subordinates, but not so humble. Kneeling generally only occurs when commoners meet nobles, and does not appear among nobles.
Of course, some very solemn occasions will also kneel, but they also kneel on one knee, such as allegiance, such as separation, under normal circumstances, even if a lord meets the monarch, it is just a bow.
So now Malfoy Andal, an old man who is almost 70, is so groveling in Her Majesty that he even kneels on his knees, you can imagine how anxious the old guy is. He didn't do it for his grandson, although he did dot on his grandson.
But now, if he could, he wanted to strangle his stupid grandson himself. He's for his family! Originally, he had already been deposed because of his opposition to the princess, and the future of his family was uncertain, and now he encountered this matter again, which was simply a joke about the family.
Malfoy knew very well that he was already disgusted by the queen and princess because he opposed the princess and sought privileges for the aristocratic class. Then next, you must be low-key and honest, and at the same time mend the relationship with the royal family, and you can't make mistakes at all.
But Marcus's actions suddenly pushed him and his family to the opposite side of the entire royal family.
Marcus challenging Solam, to be honest, is not a big deal, even if it is endless. But the matter behind it is big, the queen and princess will think, why did Marcus challenge Solam?
And even when the princess was so close to Solam, Marcus still did it. Then there is only one reason, Marcus is dissatisfied with the princess and the queen.
Marcus and Solam had no grudges in the past, and they have no grudges in recent days, so what reason is there to deal with Soram so fiercely? There was only one reason, Solam helped the princess clean up the gang of nobles!
Next, it is easy to understand, that is, Marcus is dissatisfied with the princess and dissatisfied with Malfoy's deposition! This is the dissatisfaction with the Queen!
The Andal family is no longer liked by the queen and princess, and now they openly express their dissatisfaction with the queen and princess, and even want to slap the princess in the face. What's even worse is that Solam's identity is not simple, he is also the king of a giant kingdom.
Marcus's move was completely to provoke the confrontation between the Silvermoon Kingdom and Genting City. Diplomacy is no trivial matter, he dares to act so recklessly, isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the queen? The diplomacy of the kingdom has been treated as child's play by you, isn't it a slap in the face of the queen?
It was for all these reasons that Malfoy knelt so grovelling before the queen, and he had to tell her that it was not his idea, let alone his family's.
Only in this way can you ensure that your family is liquidated, don't think that your monarch is in the good camp, then she will not be liquidated. Any ruler will liquidate and suppress his opponents to ensure the smooth implementation of his national government.
And Queen Hinbu will, and she does no less. At most, at most, it's just not so intense, it's just so bloody. But Malfoy was still unwilling to accept this fate, so he couldn't make the queen think that the Andal family was her enemy, and they didn't dare to disobey the queen.
Of course, this is not to save his own unlucky grandson, even if he hates it in his heart, it is impossible to really deny him, it is his own grandson, so he will give up this old face and let the queen cancel this duel.
How much ability his grandson has, he knows too well, if you want to say that it is a weapon, it is really a weapon, after all, he is already a level 10 warrior at a young age, and he is also considered a genius, but the problem is that he has no actual combat experience at all.
Marcus is a pampered young master who has never experienced a real battle at all. Even if he fights, he is at home, against some coaches, how can those people really hurt him?
Solam's information, Malfoy also knows, knows that he has experienced a lot of battles, his precious grandson, is just an empty level, inexperienced half a bucket of water, how to fight? That's about the same as sending you to death.
Seeing his grandfather pleading with the queen in such a humiliating posture, Marcus's heart was about to crack, he never thought that his proud grandfather would actually make such a sacrifice for himself!
So the second middle school is harmful, his grandfather really wants to save him, but it's more for the family, he just comes by the way.
But he didn't understand, and at the same time he was even more angry.
All he thought in his heart was: "Grandpa actually doesn't believe in himself so much!" Did he think he was going to lose? How is this possible! There's no way I'm going to lose! I'm going to prove it to everyone! Andal will only be proud of me! ”
I have to say, this person, once he gets into the horns, he will harm others and himself!
The queen looked at the courtiers at her feet, and really sympathized with him, after all, he had also served the kingdom for so many years, and at another age, Queen Xinbu was just strong, not emotionless, so she decided to give him a face.
Queen Hembo first asked someone to help Malfoy up, and then said to Solam and Marcus, "Okay, you can also see, Malfoy is old, and he has asked for it, so I want you to give up this duel!"
Hearing the queen say this, Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief, the queen still misses the old love, even if this is over.
Solam can't help it, although he wants to kill Marcus, but the queen has spoken, what else can he say, he still has to read the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, this face must be given: "That's okay, I'll give up." ”
"I don't give up!" Before Soram's words could be finished, Marcus screamed.
......
The audience was silent, and everyone didn't expect Marcus to be so stubborn! Malfoy passed out.
God, this is a blatant disgrace to the Queen, and the Queen personally mediates, what a rare opportunity? The man actually gave up. How do brains grow? His grandfather was like that, and he was stupid enough to refute the queen's mediation.
How do they know what Marcus is thinking? In fact, Marcus is a standard secondary school idea, he doesn't think what he does is wrong, the more others say he is wrong, the more he has to do it, otherwise it will be very shameless. As for the rest, he didn't think about it at all.
Especially when his grandfather did that, he was blatantly underestimating him! How could his noble self-esteem accept?
When Malfoy passed out, he had an idea that he shouldn't pamper Marcus too much, which led to Marcus's strange character, which is usually nothing, and he will be off the line at a critical time.
The queen was obviously stunned for a moment, but she had lived long enough, and she had seen more people, this kind of reckless character, she hadn't seen it, so in an instant, she recovered.
"Are you really going to continue the duel?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please don't stand in your way." Fortunately, Marcus did not forget that the person in front of him was not something he could offend, so the answer was quite reasonable.
"Even if your grandfather is like this, you still don't plan to change your original intention?" Queen Hembo pointed to Malfoy, who had passed out, and said to Marcus.
Marcus actually saw Malfoy faint, and he was also worried, but his somewhat distorted self-esteem did not allow himself to withdraw from the duel, after all, if he did withdraw from the fight, then what he had done before would become a joke!
In fact, if he had just quit the battle, basically no one would laugh at him, after all, it was a battle that Her Majesty had prevented, who would dare to say anything? But Marcus didn't think that much, he just wishful thinking.
"No, I'll win the duel! I would make my grandfather proud of me! ”
There is another sentence, even if he is smart, he did not say it. Originally, Marcus wanted to say that he would prove his grandfather wrong! He's going to win.
But his grandfather did this for him, and when he said this kind of thing again, it seemed very unconscionable, so he held back and didn't say it......
The other nobles are now looking at Marcus with a kind of brain-dead gaze, how stupid is this to say such a thing? Totally reckless!
Her Majesty can see that this person is a reckless man who has not run away, and there is no distinction between good and bad, in this case, the queen is not going to say anything more, since he wants to duel, then it is good to duel, anyway, he is not Solam's opponent.
The queen has lived for thousands of years, and she still has this eyesight, and it is because of this that she relented and said that she would cancel the duel. After all, Malfoy's statement has already shown the attitude of the Andal family, and she is also willing to sell Malfoy's face.
But now that Marcus said he didn't accept kindness, she didn't bother to say anything more, and it would be good for this kind of person to learn a lesson anyway.
"Well, since you insist, I'll justify this fight."
Hearing this, Marcus trembled with excitement, the queen as his notary! This is simply his best chance to make a name for himself, and he will surely impress him in front of the Queen! Marcus even thought about whether he should ask the queen for a princess after his victory.
I have to say that the paranoia of the second disease is really serious.
The venue of the duel was changed to an open space in front of the Queen's throne. After both Soram and Marcus were ready, the queen did not talk nonsense and directly announced the start of the duel.
"Hehe, you'd better get down on your knees like me and beg for mercy now! Otherwise...... I'm not going to show mercy! Marcus put on his armor, took up his weapon and shield, and said triumphantly to Soram.
He felt that he should show his kindness in front of Her Majesty, so that he could win more favor from the Queen. But he didn't know that his behavior would only make people think he was more annoying.
"......" Soram only now realized that this man might have something wrong with his brain, right?
