Chapter 383: Born to be a King
Stannis's words caused an uproar, but mainly the knights looked at each other, because if this news was true, the very foundation of their entire knightly class would be shaken.
"Who is he, and what qualifies him to be a duke!"
Sure enough, a young knight was the first to shout.
Knowing that someone would not give up, Stannis turned around and solemnly explained, "Allow me to introduce you to the only bloodline of the Golden Griffin, Ashberg von Buenau Griffin, a natural ruler!"
"Don't talk nonsense here!" shouted a middle-aged knight with a full beard, who seemed particularly agitated, and he wanted to kill Stannis with his shackle.
Of course, Stannis knew the reason why these guys were so afraid, because these knights had sworn allegiance to the Garcia family in the past, and now they suddenly told them that the object of their allegiance was going to be replaced, and the blow to them can be imagined. And many of them have lived through the era of the Fennick family, and the oath to the Golden Griffin family is still echoing in their ears, and they are all ashamed of not fulfilling the oath they took for the griffon family at that time, and now the appearance of a duke's descendant will only make them want to desperately hide their former incompetence.
An old and thin knight as funny as Don Quixote also shook his head in disbelief, "Fake! This is impossible, the Griffin family has absolutely no blood left in this world, I can vouch for my honor, this traitor just casually found a cowherd baby who didn't know where he came from and wanted to pass off as the blood of the golden griffin!"
It seems that the people here also have a lot of experience in doing this, I don't know how many of the ancestors of these knights who claim to be born nobles are actually robbers, but they are not looking for any fake King Chu Huai, but they are the descendants of authentic dukes!
"Hey, what about people?"
As soon as Stannis turned around, he found that his little brother was about to run away, and he really didn't have the courage to be a king at all.
The lord pulled him over in disgust, and then carefully wiped the dust off his face with his hands, and then spat twice on his hands and wiped them to Robert to get a middle, and soon a new duke and nobleman appeared in front of the knights.
The old knight who had pointed out that Robert was a fake couldn't help but touch his chin with his hand and nodded, "Don't say, he really looks like the young Duke Griffin." ”
"But how is this possible! The entire Golden Griffin clan has obviously died of a strange disease, and it is said that someone has put a curse, and as long as the person who sheds the blood of gold is not completely cut off, this curse will not disappear. The young knight at first said with a little fear, this was the story he had heard from his father, and although everyone knew who the cursed man was, no one dared to call him by his name.
"No, have you forgotten that there was indeed one person who survived? Or was it the youngest son who was sheltered by the Phoenix family, the former guardian of the West, after Kristallet, and although the Duke insisted that the descendant had unfortunately died, was there always a rumor that the Duke had actually escaped?"
As they spoke, they turned their gazes to Robert's with a mixture of suspicion and a little conviction.
"But there is no basis for his words, Sir Justin, since you say that he is the son of the former duke, what is the evidence?" said a middle-aged knight to negotiate with Stannis as a representative.
"This ......" his question stumped the lord, indeed although he thought that Robert was the son of the duke, and Robert also admitted that he was the son of the duke, but everyone did not agree that he was the son of the duke, but there was no paternity test in this era, how could it be proved that the son of the duke was the son of the duke?
Seeing Stannis's embarrassed look, the knights began to coax.
"I'll just say, you cunning fellow must be looking for someone to fool us, after all, how can a guy who can be the enemy of the whole duchy for the sake of a peasant woman be trusted!" the young knight exclaimed.
Stannis silently prayed for him, he was a little disrespectful to Sasha Robert was going to split himself, and now this guy dared to mention Sasha's name so frivolously, it is estimated that he will not see the sun tomorrow.
Sure enough, Robert, who had been retreating backwards, was like a different person at this time, he picked up Stannis and threw it to the side, and his whole body was full of the wind of a king at this time.
This powerful aura made the knights who loved to tear down the stage shudder, and they knew that the blood shed on this stranger's body was indeed extraordinary.
"Yes, I am the last son of my father, Duke Ike Griffin. ”
Although Robert's voice was calm, Stannis on the side could hear that he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and that he was finally able to show his true identity in front of the world, instead of being incognito like a canal rat.
After he said this, it was surprising that none of the knights proposed to say it, and in the end it was Robert who took the initiative to speak.
"How do you want me to prove myself?First of all, I escaped from the castle of the faithful Marquis of Phoenix, and I didn't bring out any of my family heirlooms, my sword, coat of arms, or ring. ”
Stannis next to him is about to go crazy, why is this guy so stupid, doesn't this kind of thing make people doubt his true identity even more!
Then the 'Don Quixote' said timidly: "Pavilion...... Your Excellency, I have heard that any griffon with the blood of a golden griffon in its body can glow golden when it is extremely excited, just like the golden griffin that was said to save the Holy Light Dynasty from the sky.
Shining with golden light?Stannis frowned, he really hadn't seen Robert's form, he was already the best evidence of him because of the white mist coming out of his little brother's body.
Without waiting for the old knight to finish speaking, Robert's whole body was already full of golden light, so flashing that the knight soldiers around him couldn't open their eyes.
"He's a descendant of the Golden Griffin!
One man shouted, and everyone looked up at such a miracle.
But Stannis was very unhappy on the side, and a griffin made these guys so excited, if they turned into dragons, wouldn't these bastards have to kneel down and bow down.
Although Stannis didn't like it very much, he had to admit that the protagonist of this battle had quietly become Robert, but this was really the effect he wanted, and now the question of who was the legitimacy of the Duchy of Tanis had surfaced, and then, the lords and knights were estimated to be big enough to whom they should be loyal to.
