Chapter 55: Soft Persimmons?
I'll ask you one last time, are you sure it's only that hillbilly himself here today? Not accompanied by other nobles, and he only brought a dozen knightly guards? ”
On the street not far from the Knight Academy, Lord Viscount Perrin Raymond, with his right hand, grabbed a knight cadet in a white robe, his handsome face with an indescribable hideousness, almost sticking to the other party and asking in a low voice
"Uh......" forced himself to hold back the discomfort of the saliva spraying on his face, and the student who was caught did not dare to struggle hard, so he could only tilt his head back as much as possible, to be honest, His Excellency Viscount's tone was indeed not very good
"I swear to you, Lord Dean, His Excellency Li Aldo personally greeted him not long ago, and I happened to be on the side at the time, and I didn't see any other nobles accompanying me, except for his family knights, I assure you!"
"Phew!"
Viciously pushing the student away, Pei Lan couldn't help but roar in the direction of the academy, "Family? No, this disgusting hillbilly is not yet an imperial nobleman, and if you dare me to hear the same thing again, I'll cut out your tongue and let you eat it yourself, understand? ”
After glancing at the knight student who nodded and left quickly, Pei Lan wiped the residual saliva from the corner of his mouth, remembering the news he had just learned this morning, and the green tendons on the back of his hand clenched into his fist bulged......
***********************
"Dear Perran, I have to inform you with great regret that last night our people came with the news that the castle of the Raymond family, more than thirty kilometers away from the imperial capital, had been suddenly attacked during the night, and when it was discovered in the morning, except for the traces of the burning fire...... I'm afraid you're the only one left in your family! ”
Rolf drank a glass of juice under the maid's service, gently licked the tip of his tongue over the other party's green fingers, looked at the back of the red-faced maid twisting her waist and left, and said in a heavy tone to the stunned Perrin in front of him, but there was no trace of apology on his face
……
After a long silence, Peilan, who was struck by lightning, stammered in a trembling voice, "Hug ...... I'm sorry, Your Highness, maybe I haven't had breakfast yet, I ...... I'm afraid I didn't hear you clearly...... I seem to have heard something about what I just said...... What does it ...... related to my family? ”
"Yes, my friend, you heard you right, uh, I've got a very good steak here, do you need me to get one for you?"
When the other party asked, Rolf had already sat down, and with the help of the butler, he carefully tied a white napkin, and looked at the fatty steak in front of him and invited the other party warmly, completely with the attitude of a hospitable host
"No !!"
Perrin couldn't help roaring anymore, but when he saw Rolf's wolf-like eyes inadvertently swept over, he subconsciously shuddered, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, but his trembling hands showed his mood
"I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't mean to, I have to ask for your mercy to tell me what happened......"
"Okay, okay!" Reluctantly letting go of the knife and fork in his hand, his eyes struggling with the food for a while, Rolf shrugged and spoke
"My dear friend, cheer up, there are always accidents of one kind or another in this world, isn't it? Listening to the report of the city defense army that rushed over later, it should be a group of wandering rebels or something else, in my opinion, this is actually not a bad thing, anyway, you have long been a little tired of your old man, this is not very good, with my help, re-establish a baron...... Oh no, it's the Viscount family."
After listening to this, Perrin's mind went blank, as Rolf said, he could not care at all about the life or death of his villain father, but there was still a mother in the castle who loved him deeply, and since he was a child, he regarded himself as a dependent adult......
After a long moment of streak, it was not until Rolf had eaten the last bite of steak that Perrin recovered from his grief, and without bothering to wipe the tears from his face, he threw himself at the table and looked eagerly at his master
"Your Highness, Raymond Castle has a full 300 soldiers, and even a dozen knights, no, I don't believe that a mere rebel army can be captured without being known, or even slaughtered, at least ...... At least the castle was able to hold out until dawn, but according to you, they didn't even send a messenger for help......"
With that, Perrin took a few deep breaths and slowly knelt down facing Rolf, "Your Highness, I deeply beg you to tell me the true situation, for which I can pay any price......"
"The price? Authentic? Know this, my friend, that whatever comes out of the air of our superiors is true, and don't let the pain turn you into a stupid civilian! ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Rolf walked around the table and took the initiative to help Perrin up
"I'm just afraid that you gave your life for no reason to learn the truth, you must know that you have offended someone who should not be offended, even I don't dare to easily try to face the anger of the Lancaster family, I have to say, you were too impulsive at the last auction......"
He didn't pay much attention to the provocation in his words, and after hearing this, Perrin suddenly raised his head, and his blood-red eyes made Rolf a little frightened
"Ahem" Rolf took a step back with a light cough and reminded with his hands behind his back, "Don't think about the impossible, I won't help you deal with His Excellency the Duke and his family, and even if I want to, I can't do anything for the time being!" ”
"Your Highness!!"
Shaking his finger at Perrin and turning back to the table and sitting back down, Rolf thought for a moment and said with a smile on his face
"There are many ways to take revenge, dear friend, remember the stranger who insulted you several times before and after? I heard that today he will be invited by Uncle Lealdo to visit the Knight Academy, and you know, he is not only a friend of the Duke, but perhaps the grandson-in-law of the Lancaster family in the future......"
Hearing this, Perlan's hate-filled mind also cleared up a lot, yes, the status of the Lancaster family is definitely not something that he, a little viscount, can shake, not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, even Rolf now frankly admits that he can't take the initiative to provoke conflicts, and he is nothing if he leaves the second prince
But it's different for Leo, not to mention that there were two insults first, even according to the second prince, if you can teach him a lesson, you can be a little hateful, if you have the opportunity to kill him, presumably the Duke of Lancaster's family will be very sad
Perran, whose brain was completely filled with hatred, didn't see Rolf's meaningful expression at all, and in contrast, Leo seemed to him to be the soft persimmon that could be pinched to take revenge......
It's just that at this moment, he has completely forgotten the strength and financial resources that Leo showed at the beginning, after all, for the people of the imperial capital, Leo is still not on the same level as the Duke of Lancaster
After making up his mind, Perrin bit his lip and looked at Rolf expectantly, "I understand Your Highness, but you know, although that hillbilly has not been certified by the House of Lords, there are many guards around him, and I ...... I'm afraid that the few remaining knights of the Raymond family will not be able to ......."
"Go and gather your knights, and later the head of my guard will bring someone to join you at the door, and I'll be happy to do my most loyal friend a little favor, and by the way, use this hillbilly to help some of the self-righteous nobles with a little beating, otherwise they have forgotten that this empire is still surnamed Bernadotte......"
Waving his hand to signal the grateful Perrin to go out, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, Rolf's eyes flashed with imperceptible cunning
"Uncle Lealdo, you've been so biased since you were a child...... But alas, you won't succeed this time! ”
