Chapter Seventy-Five: Conflict
"Apologize, no kidding, Aunt Ness, didn't you see that my face was swollen?" said Huck as he pointed to his cheek, which was already a little puffy after being slapped by Ewing, and roared excitedly, even spitting far away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Smack!!" another loud slap sounded, and Marquis Niss slowly withdrew his arm, looking at Huck, who couldn't tell what was going on, and stood on the spot.
"I haven't heard of you doing a lot of outrageous things in the Red Keep all these years, it seems that you have forgotten the lesson I taught you before I left, my dear nephew!!" Marquis Ness's voice fell, and Huck seemed to remember the bad things in the past, and his face turned unusually pale, and he did not dare to say a word.
"What's going on, Huck, what's wrong with your face?" At this moment, Grand Duke Lacey, who was almost unable to suppress his anger, finally arrived at the scene of the incident. But he was very angry, and anyone who watched others slap their grandson in front of him would probably be very angry, especially as the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Como, who had already spoken just now, but he still watched his grandson in front of him, and was slapped in the face, which was as if he was naked in the face.
Ness...... I need a reason to explain tonight!!" Grand Duke Lacey forcibly suppressed his anger and looked at Marquis Ness, but there was a cold light in his eyes, it seemed that if Marquis Ness couldn't give a reasonable explanation for tonight's matter, I'm afraid Archduke Lacey wouldn't be so easy to forget it. As the Grand Duke of the Principality, the Grand Duke of Reis has the courage to do so.
Since the unexpected early death of Archduke Reis's son Arvin Cuomo, Archduke Reis has long regarded his grandson Huck as his future heir, although excessive doting has led to his lawlessness and boldness, but Archduke Reis believes that a qualified leader must have a fearless courage, so instead of blaming Huck, sometimes he teaches Huck to dare to think and dare to do, but it seems that Huck has not used this Western thing in the right place at all.
"Oh, the reason? Huck used to rob the people's daughters, and it made the Red Keep a miasma, so I won't talk about it. This time he actually paid attention to Ewing, I don't know how Uncle Reis can eliminate the anger in Ewing's heart, a bad one is going to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the Rhine Kingdom, the wrath of the Elk family is not something that anyone can bear!!" Looking at the old man who looked like an angry lion in front of him, Marquis Ness was not afraid, and chuckled, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he stared at Huck who was hiding behind Archduke Les like an amnesty.
In fact, when Huck took Count Sacco to find Lin Mengein and the two, Marquis Ness saw it on the side for a long time, but Marquis Ness, who knew Huck's habits, rolled his eyes and deliberately waited for the show to play, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see Ewing slap Huck in the face, and Link next to him kicked Huck's fox friends away one by one. After hearing the words of the Grand Duke of Reis, Marquis Ness thought for a while, and still slapped Huck in the face, without giving the Grand Duke of Reis any face.
At this time, between the Grand Duke of Lacey and the Marquis of Nice, the previous appearance of hello, hello, hello, everyone, vanity and grievance has long since ceased to exist. The two of them just looked at me and I looked at you, neither of them spoke, but both of them could clearly feel the murderous intent in each other's eyes. Marquis Ness still has a calm and breezy appearance, and it seems that he is not afraid of the Unfavorable Treis Grand Guild at all, and he is full of confidence.
"Count Sacco, is that the case?" After listening to Marquis Niss's words, Grand Duke Reis's face changed, not because what Marquis Niss said would affect the diplomatic relations between the Rhine Kingdom and the Duchy of Como, but as a politician, Grand Duke Reis knew that one Ewing Jones could not change the relationship of interests between the two countries. What embarrassed Archduke Reis was that Huck was unreasonable about this matter, and under the gaze of so many people, he had to give Ewing Jones an explanation, which was where Archduke Reiss felt a headache.
"Uh...... Of course not, Huck and I just wanted to introduce Lord Ewing to Huck, but who knew that after His Excellency Ewing refused Huck's invitation, he also slapped Huck, and this Lord Link directly kicked Huck's friend away!!" Count Sacco, who was originally standing aside and gloating in his heart, was suddenly asked by Archduke Reis, as a nobleman who had been molesting Count Sacco for many years, he knew what to say as soon as his eyes rolled.
Count Sacco, who lost in Oise last time, even mortgaged the family crest in his hand as collateral to Ewing, and felt that he had lost face. Count Sacco immediately resigned to Marquis Ness the next day, and hurriedly led the people out of Oise City to the Red Keep, and under the deliberate flattery of Count Sacco, he was soon introduced by Huck as a confidant and friend, and these days they spend a lot of time drinking together.
"Hehe!!!Count Sacco, do you believe this yourself?" Listening to Count Sacco's statement of cutting corners and beating a rake, Ewing sneered and stared at Count Sacco with murderous eyes.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Count Sacco at once, as if he had been greatly insulted, and his face turned red.
"Hmph!!" Ewing snorted coldly, staring at Count Sacco with cold eyes. Ewing, however, had an extremely bad feeling, looking at Count Sacco who appeared at the ball, as if he had missed something important, but he couldn't think of anything.
"What do you mean? hah...... That means you're talking nonsense!!" Marquis Ness, on the side, sneered, his face full of disdain.
"You ......" At this moment, Count Sacco broke off, but he was slammed on his face by a piece of cake that suddenly flew from the crowd, and he was embarrassed.
"It's you villain again, bullying Mom!!" I saw little Rick, stumbling towards Ewing, his hands full of cream. The cake that was thrown at Count Sacco just now was the work of Little Rick.
"Flutter!!" Hearing the laughter of the people around him, Count Sacco's old face turned red and he had a heart attack, but Lin Meng had already taken the first step to block Little Rick behind him, and looked at Count Sacco with an extremely angry face and a creamy face. Under Lin Meng's ill-intentioned eyes, Count Sacco was shocked to realize that the strength of the man in front of him was deeply understood by Count Sacco, and he had to suppress his anger at the moment.
"Okay, isn't mom good! My little darling also knows how to protect mom, mom is really happy!!" Ewing took a very amused look at Count Sacco's embarrassed appearance, then rubbed little Rick's head dotingly, squatted down and took out a white silk scarf, and carefully wiped it patiently for little Rick.
"Enough!!!" said Archduke Reis, looking at the ball that had turned into a farce tonight, his face gloomy.
"Huck, follow me!!" Archduke Lacey rolled his gaze to Huck behind him, leaving everyone behind him and striding forward. Feeling Grand Duke Lacey's tone full of anger, Huck's face was full of apprehension, but in the end he gritted his teeth and followed, only to turn his head and look at Lin Meng and the three of them resentfully when he left.
The departure of Archduke Lacey and Huck has put Count Sacco in the spotlight again, and although Count Sacco has wiped the cake off his face, there is still some cream sticking to it, which looks very funny.
"Hmph!!" Looking at the strange eyes of everyone around him, Count Sacco finally couldn't stand it anymore, snorted coldly, glared at Lin Meng and the others fiercely, turned around and brushed away.
After the trouble just now, Lin Meng and Ewing had no intention of continuing to dance, but Ewing saw the disappointment in Lin Meng's heart from Lin Meng's regretful eyes, so he had to smile at Lin Meng's charming, which could be regarded as comforting Lin Meng's frustrated mood.
With the addition of Marquis Ness, the three of them and one child had to go to the table on the side, eat something casually, and then go home.
Red Fort, in a gloomy study, two figures sit across desks......
"Idiot, I just asked you to test Ewing Jones's attitude, I didn't tell you to provoke her, and now it's all messed up! Have you ever played with fewer beautiful women?" said the figure inside the desk seemed to be extremely angry, and slammed it on the table with a "bang", causing some of the books and documents on the table to jump. The figure on the opposite side was also frightened by this, and lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"Get out!!" Looking at the figure in front of him with a useless look, the person in the desk seemed to be even more angry, looking like he hated iron but not steel. Listening to the words of the people inside, the figure quickly got up, opened the door and ran out as if it were an amnesty.
"Count Sacko, is what you said last time true?" said the figure at the desk as he was silent for a moment.
"Of course, as long as the Grand Duke of Rais agrees to let the Duchy of Como join the alliance initiated by the Norman Kingdom, we can completely solve the trouble caused by the Marquis of Nanis. Suddenly, a voice sounded out of thin air in the room, and Count Sacco came out from behind a screen, and walked step by step to the place where the figure had just left and sat down.
"Hmph!!It's a nice thing to say, solve the trouble for me, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be easy to please the gods, and the Duchy of Como will have to look at the face of the Norman kingdom!" the Grand Duke of Reis in the desk snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Grand Duke Lacey, it's impossible to get right and left between the Rhine Kingdom and the Norman Kingdom now, Ewing Jones represents the Rhine Kingdom and has basically formed an alliance with that slut of Ness, and you have no other way than to cooperate with our Norman Kingdom, unless you want to be eaten away by Ness Como step by step, think about how you sat on the throne of the Principality of Como in the first place, do you think Ness Como will let you and your grandson go?" Hearing the dissatisfied tone of the Grand Duke of Reis, Count Sacco sneered, and pointed out the embarrassing situation of the Grand Duke of Reis at this time without the slightest mercilessness.
