214 I said no
Duke suddenly said such a sentence in front of Prince Harry, which surprised everyone present. At the same time, the aristocratic young man beside Prince Harry was even more surprised, he didn't expect Duke to attack so suddenly.
"How dare you speak like that in front of the Prince?"
"I have nothing to do with the prince when I say this, I just tell you. Do you want me to emphasize again, what kind of thing are you, you have the right to interject when I talk to His Royal Highness?"
Duke re-emphasized mercilessly, in fact, he probably remembered who the aristocratic young man in front of him was, he was Carter, the son of Earl Cavendy.
Count Cavendi is also considered one of the old nobles of the empire, and even the previous generation was called the Marquis of Cavendy. It's just that the level of the heir is limited, which leads to the downgrading of the title, so he becomes the Earl of Cavendi.
However, as an old nobleman, and the strength of the territory and army still exists, the Cavendish territory still has a place in the upper echelons of the French Empire. In order to restore the title and glory of his ancestors, Count Cavendi tried to place his sons next to several princes, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, Count Cavendi has "from the dragon", which is equivalent to not putting eggs in one basket, everyone invests in it.
In terms of succession, Prince Harry is the least likely to inherit the throne in the future, so he is also the youngest son of Earl Cavendis who is placed next to him. But this Carter has become Prince Harry's number one dog, and even relied on Prince Harry to pull the tiger skin to pull the banner, and he still regarded himself as the number one person in the imperial capital.
When Duke was a straw bale before, he basically had the same mentality as this Carter, and it was basically hopeless to inherit the title as the youngest son, so it was enough to hope to hug Prince Harry's thigh and get some small fief and title. In a sense, Duke's method really worked, and he became the lord and viscount of Stormcastle.
At that time, Carter relied on his closer relationship with Prince Harry, often mocked Duke wantonly, and used Harry's name to oppress people when he had nothing to do, just like today. It's just that Duke chose to forbear under normal circumstances, and Carter became more and more rampant, as if he really had the authority and identity of a prince.
Seeing Duke's refusal today, he habitually moved out of the title of prince to reprimand Duke, wanting Duke to admit and then give him a sense of psychological satisfaction. After all, no matter what Duke says, he is also the son of Duke Otto, but he has to be honest and obedient in front of himself.
As a result, I didn't expect Duke to respond so arrogantly, without taking himself into account at all, let alone Prince Harry, who was standing aside.
In the face of Duke's strength, Carter began to admit a little in his heart, so he could only look at the prince on the side and say: "Your Royal Highness, Duke actually talked like this, he didn't take you in his eyes!"
Hearing Carter's Mandarin, Prince Harry's face was also a little unnatural, after all, he was also used to Duke's obedience, but he didn't expect him to be so tough.
"Duke, this is just a female guard, not like that. ”
Prince Harry also said indifferently at this time, after all, in this situation, if he didn't say a word, he would be too faceless as a prince.
"Your Royal Highness, although she is a female bodyguard, many times I treat her as a sister. So Your Highness is sorry, let's go by ourselves. ”
Duke replied in a flat tone, if this was not on the territory of the imperial capital, he couldn't help but turn his face at this time. Although Rose is a witch and works part-time as her own bodyguard, Rose has helped Stormcastle too much, and has also saved her own life, and these guys actually want Rose to go to the red light district, they simply don't take themselves seriously!
Duke's words, Rose standing behind her heard this, and her heart was indeed extremely moved. Because the lord actually forcibly refused Prince Fran's request for his own sake, coupled with the previous decree against the Holy See, it can be said that Duke fought against the power of the whole world for himself.
Maybe the lord didn't know martial arts, and he wasn't very strong, but standing behind him, Rose felt that Duke was a high mountain that could shield herself from any danger. When she thought of this, the tension in Rose's heart slowly disappeared, but the hand that grabbed the corner of Duke's clothes subconsciously tightened.
Feeling the force of Rose's tugging at the corners of her clothes behind her, Duke thought that the little girl was even more scared, so he reached behind him and patted the back of Rose's hand twice, signaling her to relax. As a result, he didn't expect Duke's comforting gesture to make Rose's face turn into a red apple.
Prince Harry also saw Rose's blushing and shy appearance at this time, and he was even more fascinated by him. As the youngest child of Henry VII, he has been with Princess Gina since he was a child, and he is simply a little heel behind Gina, and it can be said that Gina influenced Harry's alien concept. And Rose is very similar to Jina in a sense, they are both the kind of people who are rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, but they are strong on the inside. So when Prince Harry saw Rose, he naturally had a good feeling.
Seeing Prince Harry's fascinated appearance, Carter, as a follower, naturally understood Harry's preferences, and he felt that Prince Harry would definitely support him this time, so he planned to get the previous field back.
So he came to Prince Harry's side and encouraged: "Isn't it just a woman, Your Royal Highness, what if we take her away today?"
Although the status of normal women in this world is slightly higher than that of feudal China, it is only slightly higher. And there is still a slavery system in this world, and under normal circumstances, women are basically slaves. Otherwise, let alone Miss Noble, even a civilian woman would not show up as a guard like this, so Carter directly decided that Rose was a female slave, and such a woman was not a matter at all in the eyes of top nobles.
Unfortunately, he met Duke, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, Duke told him what the outcome would be if he took him.
I saw that Duke didn't hesitate at all, and directly kicked Carter's body, even if Duke didn't learn any martial arts, but his height of one meter eight, coupled with his youth and strength, this kick still kicked Carter directly to the ground.
And Duke's sudden move also alarmed the royal guards brought by Prince Carter, who didn't expect Duke to be so impulsive at all, and subconsciously wanted to the guy to come over to protect Prince Harry.
It's just that the storm guards led by Fedor are faster, and as the guards carefully selected from the thousands of storm troops, they have long been holding back their anger and planning to do something about Carter's actions. So the moment Duke kicked the man, the Storm Guards had already drawn their swords and stood against the Royal Guards, and almost instantly, including Prince Harry, were surrounded by the Storm Guards.
Carter, who fell to the ground, covered his abdomen and planned to call the Guards to do it, but the scene in front of him frightened him into a dark face, could it be that Duke planned to rebel?
