Aitke struggled after being pushed to the ground by the two knights.

The two knights were the elite of Count Cruz's command, and Aitke couldn't break free from them with all his strength.

After the knights captured Aitek, they tacitly agreed that Count Cruz was going to take him back to the lord's manor.

They grabbed Aitek's arm and thought about the doorway.

"Wait."

Count Cruz suddenly spoke and caused the knights to stop at the door of the Hall of the Net.

Before the knights could figure out what Count Cruz was trying to do, he hurried to his son, Aitke.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Count Cruz asked.

But Aitke turned his face sideways, not glancing at Count Cruz, and kept his lips pursed and remained silent.

Aiteke's performance has made his attitude very clear.

"Get on your knees." Count Cruz could no longer indulge, and simply gave an order.

Hearing this order, both the knight who had captured Aitke and Etek himself looked at Count Cruz with surprised eyes.

This is not the manor where the city lord lives, this is the public area of the Hall of the Magic Net.

He knelt in front of so many civilians as the second son of an earl, and if he did... His dignity in Orsenburg will be lost and he will be the laughing stock of all the people.

"Kneel... Under! ”

Count Cruz repeated the words again, his voice bursting through the cracks in his throat, anger pouring out of them as if they had been reduced to substance.

Aitke remained unmoved, and Count Cruz glanced at the two knights who had restrained him.

The two knights had unbearable expressions on their faces, they had been under the command of Count Cruz for many years, and they had watched this second son grow up with their own eyes.

But they had to obey the Earl's order, and the two knights pressed their hands on the shoulders of Atek on either side, and tried to push him to the ground with all their might.

Aitke was still resisting, but his power was insignificant in front of the two elite knights.

For a few seconds, the sound of his knees thumping against the ground echoed through the hall.

The eyes of the guests connected to the magic net in the hall were all attracted to it, and a second earl's son knelt down in front of so many people... This is enough to make many people who like to gossip watch all day.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Count Cruz asked again, and Aitke, who fell to his knees, clenched his teeth, and finally raised his head to look at his father with stubborn eyes.

"I'm not wrong!" He said in a deep voice.

This answer once again burned Count Cruz's anger, and he held out his hand to one of the knights beside him.

"Give me your scabbard!"

The knight was stunned for a moment, but finally drew the long sword from his waist, and then handed the scabbard to Count Cruz.

Count Cruz got the scabbard and struck it heavily on Aitke's shoulder as a club.

The scabbard is made of steel and is inlaid with delicate protozoars.

Count Cruz didn't show any mercy when he swung his scabbard, and used all his strength.

The clothes on Aitek's shoulders were torn, and a bruise could be seen in the gap between the clothes.

Even so, Aitke gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

"Answer me again, do you know if you're wrong?" Count Cruz asked.

This time Aitke still didn't answer, and Count Cruz directly whipped it with his backhand like a whip, this time hitting Aitke on the cheek.

The steel-forged scabbard slammed into Atek's cheek, scarlet blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Lord Earl!"

The knight beside Aitke couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't help but cry out to intercede for him.

"Shut up! Aitek: You could have become the youngest honorary gladiator in Orsenburg! Count Cruz said this, and his anger rushed to his heart again, and he slapped Aitke on the shoulder with his scabbard again, "I have no objection to you using the magic net, but you know how to play those games on the magic net!" It's useless at all! The games that could be won in gladiatorial tournaments ended in humiliating defeats. ”

With every word he spoke, Count Cruz angrily slammed his scabbard at Aitke's body.

He showed no mercy at all, leaving bruises on Aitke's body with each blow, blood spilling down the torn cracks in his clothes and dripping onto the floor.

Finally, Count Cruz seemed a little tired, and finally stopped swinging his hand and looked at Ateke, who was on his knees and scarred.

"Answer me now, do you know if you're wrong?" Count Cruz asked again.

"Lord Aitek..."

A knight next to him whispered a reminder to Atek, hoping that he would not continue to hold on.

Aitke slowly got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then spat out a tooth and looked up at Count Cruz again.

"I... That's right, Father. A smile appeared on his bruised face, "My brother has been in the position of champion for so long, I haven't beaten him in anything since I was a child, and he will be your heir in the future...... But now I finally have something stronger than him, and that is the Holy Spirit! Brother, that handicapped handicap, can't beat me no matter what......"

Count Cruz's forehead was bruised by Ateke's answer, and he gripped the hilt of his sword with his hand, and the hilt even showed signs of distortion.

"What's the use of your game no matter how good it is!" The moment Count Cruz was furious, he wanted to slash his sword at him again.

Someone held one of his arms.

The strength of the other party was terrifying, and the pain coming from Count Cruz's wrist stimulated him.

Count Cruz turned his head angrily to find out who was so bold, he would definitely send this guy to the gallows!

But the moment Count Cruz saw the other party's face, the impulse of anger in his heart was quickly suppressed.

"His Royal Highness Prince Kaos?"

"Long time no see, Count Cruz."

Kaos took his hand and slowly lowered it, then took the blood-stained scabbard and tossed it to its owner.

"Are you here to participate in gladiatorial matches?"

Count Cruz gestured to the two knights to bring back the scarred Aitke.

"No, I'm here to carry out my mother's orders and recruit a knight to join the Iron Casters." Kaos said.

The moment Prince Kaos uttered the words "Iron Caster" was enough to attract the attention of everyone in the entire hall.

The name represents supreme honor in the Iron Country, as well as its position above most nobility.

"I don't know if the strong man has this honor?"

Count Cruz really couldn't guess that there was a powerful knight in Orsenburg who would be favored by the queen.

"Your second son, Aitek." Prince Kaos came to the scarred Atek, took out a medallion and handed it to him, saying, "Your bravery on the battlefield of the Holy Spirit has been recognized by His Majesty the King, and in the name of the great Iron Eagle, this medal of honor is awarded to you, Ateke Sliom, are you willing to accept it?" ”
