Chapter Twenty-Three: A Step Forward
"Renault, open the door!"
"Yes, Lord Duke. β
As soon as the door opened, someone rushed into the courtyard impatiently, and then met Green's gaze, hesitated a little, and stopped.
"Do you know what this place is?" Green looked around, there were probably a dozen people gathered outside the door, all with weapons in their hands, and the smell of blood on their bodies, it was clear that this group was not ordinary people.
"I don't know. The leader shook his head and said, "But two of us have just gone missing here, and some people said that they saw them enter this castle, and please make it convenient for us to search." β
Green looked at the leader coldly, refused without hesitation, and said, "It's inconvenient." β
Search: Breaking into the Duke's Castle for no reason, with a bad attitude, and wanting to search the entire Duke's Castle?
It's just a joke, not to mention that he is a duke, a former prince, even if he is just an ordinary baron, he will not respond to such an impudent request.
The leader frowned and said, "Please consider it, we are from the Rand Chamber of Commerce." β
"Rand Chamber of Commerce?" Green's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The leader nodded, a little smug.
Green said: "Is it the chamber of commerce run by Rand Andre, the chamber of commerce whose main business is the slave trade, and who maliciously dumps other chambers of commerce with his own identity to obtain huge profits?"
"How dare you call His Royal Highness the Great Prince by his name!"
"What's wrong with me calling him by his name?" Green looked at the leader coldly and said, "I call him by his name in person, and he doesn't dare to say anything, do you have an opinion?"
The leader forcibly pressed back the sword that he had already pulled out half, suddenly remembered something, looked at Green, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it His Highness Green?"
"Now that you know my identity, why don't you get out?" Green glanced at the leader.
The leader did not retreat, but said: "Please also ask His Royal Highness Green to look in the face of the eldest prince, let us search, we escaped two slaves......"
However, before the leader finished speaking, he was interrupted by Green and said, "First, give Rand face, it's okay, but Nadland himself came over, what kind of thing are you?"
"Second, what does it have to do with me that you escaped slaves?"
Green's attitude is very bad, because the leader's attitude was very bad before, and Green saw the leader's action of drawing his knife, for a person who has killed himself, Green will not give half of face.
The leader's face suddenly turned red, full of anger accumulated in his chest, he lowered his gaze, and cursed viciously in his heart: Isn't it just a former prince who has lost power, and as soon as he becomes an adult, he will be assigned to the edge of the capital, and he will be insulated from the throne of the king for the rest of his life.
As for you, if you weren't lucky enough to be born in Andrei's family, you'd be a waste, a complete waste, and even now, you're just relying on King Andrei.
Without King Andrei, you are nothing!
But when the leader cursed like this, he didn't think that the Rand Chamber of Commerce could crush other peers strongly, but it was just relying on the identity of Rand Andre.
Without Rand Andre behind, the Rand Chamber of Commerce would not have succeeded.
However, he was resentful of Green in his heart, but the leader did not dare to directly scold, insulting the royal family, which not everyone can afford.
After much hesitation, the leader decided to persevere.
"Your Highness Green, these two slaves are very important to the Rand Chamber of Commerce, and I would like to ask Your Highness Green to make it easier. β
Green was expressionless and said: "It seems that you can't understand people's words, I have already said it, it's inconvenient, the Duke's Castle is not something you can search if you want to." β
"Counting this time, I've already given you two chances, and I won't give you a third chance. β
The leader finally decided to take a step back and said, "Your Highness Green, have you ever seen two little girls?"
Green had already guessed that the purpose of this group of people was probably Ilian and Vivien, and now that he heard this, Green was even more sure of his guess.
However, Green still won't hand over Eliam and Vivien.
If Eliam and Vivien are just ordinary people, it doesn't matter much if they hand them over, but both Eliam and Vivian have wizarding talents, which are of great use to Green, and Green has signed a contract with them.
In addition, according to the laws of the Duchy of AndrΓ©, the moment Eliam and Vivien entered the manor, Green already had absolute control over Elion and Vivien.
This is the duke's prerogative, and the duke has the right to take it for himself if the slave enters illegally.
This means that Eliam and Vivien have long been Green's personal property.
Moreover, the attitude of this group of people before was extremely bad, no matter how many good things were said at this time, Green would not hand over Ilian and Vivien to this group of people.
A figure ran up to the leader's side and whispered a few words.
The leader nodded, looked at Green, and said, "Your Highness Green, I have received news that those two little girls are now located in your castle, and I also ask Your Highness Greene to let me take those two little girls away." β
Green didn't answer, but turned to Peak next to him and said, "Peak, give me the crossbow arrows." β
"You can go up and try it. Green pointed the crossbow bolt at the door, and whoever stepped forward would shoot whoever he wanted, and Green said it very seriously, not jokingly.
"His Royal Highness Green, these two people were appointed by His Highness Rand, if His Highness Greene still stops us, please forgive us for being disrespectful. The leader looked left and right twice and said, "Up." β
According to the leader's idea, among the many princes of the Duchy of Andrei, Green has completely lost power, and Rand is the one who is very likely to inherit the throne.
And they were originally Rand's lackeys, and it was totally worth it to anger another prince, a prince who was not at all powerful, for the sake of Rand's orders.
The leader felt that Rand would definitely help them with the follow-up troubles, and not let Green find them trouble.
And to be honest, the leader felt that as long as he grabbed the two little girls and left the Duke's Castle, Green didn't even have the ability to trouble him, he had no power, no power, and no identity, so what could he do with him?
But at this moment, a crossbow arrow came into the air and knocked down the person who rushed to the front directly, and the crossbow arrow pierced the chest, basically without any hope of saving.
In an instant, everyone stopped.
No one thought that Green would really kill, really dare to kill.
"How about it? Are you interested in taking another step, my accuracy is still quite good, and if I can kill with one arrow, I will definitely not waste a second arrow. Green looked around and said.
"I'm going to kill you!" Suddenly, a man standing in the corner rushed towards Green.
Green raised his hand and another arrow.
"Bang!"
The same man fell to the ground, just as he had done before.
