Verse 324:-for-tat

There are some things that everyone knows by heart, but they can't be said explicitly, such as the current incident.

Anyone could see that the Marquis d'Aubrey intended to marry his daughter to His Royal Highness Randall, but no one would find out about it in front of Aubrey, because it was a bit embarrassing for the Marquis. And the reason is the second half of the words of the gentleman who spoke at this moment.

I heard that Miss Shannie has a marriage contract with someone.

When the man was noble, Aubrey spread the news that his daughter and the man had been engaged, but now as soon as someone more noble than the man's identity appeared, Aubrey immediately changed the direction of the wind, and hesitated without hesitation, which was really a little unelegant.

That being the case, Aubrey was the lord of Douala after all, so how could they say such a thing to Aubrey's face?

The person who spoke out was really bold.

Don't want to live anymore?

Everyone present thought so in their hearts, and then all craned their necks to look at the source of the sound, and many of their eyes were filled with excitement.

They didn't dare to say it, but it didn't prevent them from watching the excitement.

They really wanted to see which gentleman would dare to say this, and how the Marquis of Aubrey would respond to such remarks.

That would be interesting.

The person who dares to say this, in the minds of everyone, must be a high-ranking person, so he dares to ridicule Aubrey in public. Even if this person is not as powerful as Aubrey, he must be a marquis of real power, right?

But what everyone didn't expect was that what they saw was a completely unfamiliar young face.

The man was young, about thirty years old, and his expression was very gentle, without the slightest tension, as if the sharp question had not been raised by him, but was only discussing with Aubrey what kind of dishes the chefs would serve them later.

Norman followed the sound and looked over, and was stunned when he saw the man's face.

It's Adolf, Sunny's dance teacher.

His identity really didn't match his words, and everyone who knew him was a little stunned, including Aubrey.

The marquis apparently did not expect that a dance teacher he had hired would say such a thing to him.

However, the most shocked expression present was Shival.

One of Douala's future heirs, his mouth was wide open enough to swallow a fist, and his eyes widened as he looked at Adolf from adol, his eyes full of confusion, as if he had seen something most incomprehensible in the world.

Aubrey is not in vain at this age, and after being stunned for a while, he quickly adjusted his expression, looked at Adolf in the air and said: "Mr. Adolf, I know what you said, and I have heard those rumors, but what I want to say is that those are just rumors after all. As for Shanny's marital problems...... As you know, I love my daughter very much, and I think she has her choice in this matter, but if there is a very good marriage, I am not excluded from making decisions for her, and I believe that every father can understand my feelings. ”

Adolf brought the matter to the fore, so that Aubrey could no longer hide underneath and leave plenty of room to watch the situation unfold.

In the face of Aubrey's attitude, Adolf did not give an inch, and said unhurriedly: "It turns out that this is just a rumor for the Marquis of Aubrey? But for His Highness Gabriel, who has the divine blood flowing in his body, this vow made under the holy moonlight has the supreme binding force. ”

Aubrenie's color changed.

There was nothing to fuss about Adolf in naming the man, but "in the holy moonlight" and "vows" were not a secret that ordinary people could know.

Even his two sons didn't know the specifics.

How did this man know?

Adolf continued: "For the Holy Family, the oath must be defended......

At this time, Cedric, who was beside Aubrey from the Duchy of Patrick, suddenly interrupted Adolf's words, "This gentleman, even if they are married, there are still divorces, not to mention that His Royal Highness Gabriel and Miss Sennie have not yet entered into a marriage, they have the right to choose freely, I think this is the attitude of being truly responsible for each other." If you just want to tie everything up with a so-called oath that no one knows if it really exists, then all I can say is that you can first come up with something to prove the existence of that oath. ”

Aubrey was still wondering how Adolf knew about this, and what was the real identity of this guy, but Cedric didn't care about it at all, and went straight to the point and confronted Adolf.

When Adolf heard this, he laughed, "A couple who fall in love with each other complain to each other in the romantic moonlight, and there is no third person next to them, and these two naturally will not deliberately use means to record such words, otherwise it will be a stain on the great love between them, so you asked me to come up with something to prove it, I really can't take it out." If you have to prove it, then I can only say that Deeutenas, the god of love, knows everything, and if what I say is half false, then let Dieutennas's wrath crush me. ”

Cedric shook his head, his mouth moved, and his two mustaches kept beating and undulating: "Everyone knows that for thousands of years, there has been no second miracle except for the Sage Norman, and I don't think you can compare with the Sage, so your words are meaningless." Perhaps this gentleman ought to shut your noble mouth and hear the news I am about to announce. ”

Then, ignoring the master of Aubrey who was standing beside him, Cedric announced to everyone below: "Gentlemen and ladies, I have come to Douala on behalf of His Highness Randall. Your Highness has long heard of Miss Channie's beauty, and I have come to discuss the marriage between them on behalf of His Highness Randall and the Marquis of Aubrey. Fortunately, the Marquis of Aubrey and Miss Sennie are very satisfied with this marriage, and the marriage contract has been officially signed between the two parties, and from this day on, His Royal Highness Randall and Miss Senni are officially fiancées in the sense of the kingdom's law, and the intention of today's ball is also to announce this matter to everyone present......"

From the expression on Aubrey's face, Norman felt that the lord of the castle seemed to be surprised when he heard the news for the first time, but he immediately adjusted his expression and smiled at everyone present.

When the nobles present heard the news, they buzzed, their eyes and words were either envious or confused, and they exchanged their thoughts on this matter.

Shanni fidgeted more and more, looking at it for a while, looking in the direction of Norman for a while, with a complicated expression on her face.

Shival's mouth was wide open, and his eyes were even more puzzled, as if the whole world had been turned upside down in front of him, and he didn't know what had happened to him and why it had made him so confused.

As for Norman, he had a faint sense that the owner of the ball had changed.

The masters of this ball no longer seem to be Aubrey, but the two Cedric and Adolf.

Although the two of them smiled at each other in the air, from between the two of them, he clearly felt that there was a huge undercurrent surging, the kind that would explode if they didn't agree.

"To become an official fiancé recognized by the laws of the Kingdom, a priest's certificate and the participation of both parties are required,"

Adolf did not hold back because of Cedric's words, but continued to talk eloquently: "Let's not care about where the priest is, but return to the most essential question, that is, where are the fiancés?"

Adolf swiped his left hand and pointed to Shanni not far to his left, "Our Miss Shanni is there, but what about His Highness Randall?"

Shival didn't know if his brain was too messy now, and at such a time, the ghost almost burst out inexplicably, "Aren't you right here?"

His voice was not very loud, and the private discussions of the surrounding nobles were quite noisy, so only the circle of people around him could hear it clearly. However, they also cared about Shival's inexplicable words, and Norman, who was far away, heard it with his own ears far beyond ordinary people, but did not care about it at all like these people, but thought about it.

Aren't you right here?

What does that mean?

Shival seems to have recognized this Adolf as Randall, the golden lion, but this Adolf has black hair, not yellow hair, how could he recognize him like that?

It's really inexplicable, and it's no wonder that those who hear it don't think much about it.

Norman couldn't figure it out for a moment, while Adolf and Cedric's conversation continued.

"As I have already said, His Highness Randall is now on an important matter, and he can't get out of his body, so I have full authority to act as the agent of this matter. I'm here, and I mean His Highness Randall is here. ”

Adolf laughed and said, "In that case, will it be you or His Highness Randall who will complete the marriage with Miss Senni at that time?" For the sake of the royal bloodline, I firmly oppose everything you have just announced. ”

Cedric said, "It has happened, and no amount of money you say to this gentleman, but there is one more thing that comes to mind. On the way to Douala, a bold bandit gang attacked my troops, and combined with your current words and actions and unknown identity, I have reason to suspect that you have a great connection with that bandit bandit. Then he turned his head and looked at Aubrey beside him, "Lord Marquis, if I can, I suggest that this gentleman be arrested immediately and interrogated thoroughly, lest Douala be infiltrated by suspicious persons and cause incalculable damage." ”

Under this confrontation between Cedric and Adolf, the voices in the field have become quieter and quieter, and by the time Cedric said this, it was even quieter to the extreme.

The strong smell of gunpowder in the middle can be seen clearly by anyone who is not blind.

And Norman also faintly saw the clue: Cedric needless to say, naturally represents Randall, and this Mr. Adolf seems to have a great background, and seems to be the representative of the second prince Gabriel.

It can be seen from the fact that these two are so indifferent at the moment that at the highest level of the kingdom, the battle for the throne should have reached the most fierce moment, and the representatives of these two heirs to the throne are not even willing to maintain the superficial friendship and harmony, and directly tear their faces.

After Cedric suggested that Adolf be captured immediately, Aubrey hesitated.

He can almost see that the dance teacher he invited is not small, and it seems that he may have a great relationship with the second prince, which is why he hesitated at the moment. But he also understood after all that the most taboo at this time was that he was not clear and wavering in line, and if he wanted to follow, he would follow to the end, so Aubrey finally gritted his teeth and ordered Adolf to be arrested, but he didn't expect Adolf to speak before him.

"I don't recommend it,"

Adolf was not annoyed by Cedric's slander of being a robber, his face was calm and did not make any waves, but the words he said set off a storm, "I will order it directly." ”

"It would be too bold to take down this Mr. Cedric, who should be a liar posing as an emissary of His Highness Randall. And this Mr. Aubrey was also taken down, and it was really mediocre to be the lord of the city so that he couldn't even tell the difference between liars, and perhaps he was also old, and it was time to give way and let the young man take charge of the territory. ”

This made everyone look at them, and they all looked at Adolf with wide eyes like madmen, and Aubrey laughed even more angrily.

It was as if he was listening to a fantasy.

Adolf himself was the only two people present who did not look at Adolf with such eyes, one Norman and the other Shival.

Shival even showed a look of joy and excitement, mixed with the doubts in his eyes.

"Take Adolf down!"

Aubrey laughed back and gave the order.

Almost as soon as the order was given, fully armored guards entered outside the door, led by Knight Clarence, the Marquis of Aubrey's henchman, and the group moved quickly and quickly, and immediately surrounded the target task with their weapons.

Everything was exactly as Aubrey had instructed, and the only difference was that the target had gone wrong: instead of taking Adolf as Aubrey had instructed, they had surrounded Cedric, the messenger from afar, and their ultimate superior, Aubrey, with their sharp blades pointed at them!

The nobles at the scene were silent, and there was a dead silence.
