Chapter 570: The New Grand Duke of Rose
The laws of this world are not perfect, especially the use of the aristocratic feudal system, which often allows each territory to have its own laws with each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even Augustus's 3,000-year-old concentration of power was not able to implement its own laws because of too many races, complex regions, customs and habits, etc.
At the same time, the aristocracy was a privileged class, and the legal constraints on them were not in place.
However, the aristocracy also has the code of conduct of the aristocracy, and after a conflict or violent conflict between them, the upper nobles will generally be allowed to adjudicate, and theoretically speaking, the upper nobles must uphold the principle of fairness and justice.
Of course, in fact, the upper nobles are also human beings, and naturally they are close to each other, and this kind of ruling cannot be said to be completely fair.
And if one side thinks that the ruling is wrong, the milder result is a 'judicial duel', believing that the right side will be protected by the gods and fight with swords and shields, and the winning side is right.
But if the conflict really reaches the point where it is irreconcilable, and a loved one dies in the previous conflict, it is possible to launch a bloody revenge to the death.
Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, blood does not drain, death does not truce.
This is definitely not just a joke, for the aristocracy, the real launch of blood revenge, many times it ends with the complete demise of one party and the takeover of everything, in which the cruelty is self-evident.
And this is also the last means of resolving conflicts between nobles.
In the 800th year of Augustus, the Silvermoon family, which belonged to the elven clan, and the Austin clan, which belonged to the dwarven clan, had a violent conflict, and in the case that both sides had royal family deaths, they agreed to take revenge by blood.
It was a war that swept half of the Atlantic continent, and countless professionals died directly on the battlefield, which also indirectly caused extreme hostility between elves and dwarves.
Even Augustus III came out to mediate, but it failed to prevent the tragedy from happening.
The final result of the war, the dwarves, the jungle and hill giants, the hereditary Grand Duke of the Town, the Austen family, were destroyed.
Feeling the damage caused to the empire by this kind of blood revenge, and the serious land annexation caused by it, it is also because with the stability of the empire, the royal authority has become more and more important, and Augustus III issued a law prohibiting blood revenge.
Although this kind of thing is not forbidden to say that it is forbidden, it is true that in the following thousands of years, it has become less and less, and by the end of Augustus, it has basically become rare, and most of them occur among the low-ranking nobles.
And now, after losing her husband and all her children, Mrs. Merry actually wants to take over the hands of Muen and launch blood revenge.
Mu En never thought that an old woman who was only a second-order professional at her peak and couldn't get into his eyes could actually use words to make him feel a kind of creepy, hairy and hairy sense of immediacy, which could make him feel the coercion he had not seen for a long time.
Mrs. Merry propped her hands on the table, her arms trembling and supporting her body, she looked at Mu En condescendingly, there was determination, hatred, persistence, stubbornness, and more in her eyes...... Implore.
Mu En sat in the chair, he lowered his head, slightly silent.
What does blood revenge represent, he knows it clearly from books, and he also understands that if he really takes this matter, it means that he will not destroy the mastermind behind all this caused the Igor family, and he must not stop.
It was a tradition more serious than an oath, and it could not be broken as long as he wanted to walk on the continent of Atlanta in the name of Augustus.
In other words, before his throne mission began, he received a huge hot potato, and he still didn't know what the situation was that was behind the scenes.
However, just looking at the fact that when Jabbar went to the ancient teleportation array to pick him up, he was actually followed by a sufficient number of forces belonging to the five parties, so you can imagine what the situation of the Igor family is now.
But in this case, can he not agree?
There seemed to be a period of silence, Mu En suddenly raised his head, he stared at Mrs. Merry, who was already soaked with cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "Since I took over the rose collar and became the grand duke of the Igor family, then, the glory that belongs to the Igor family will naturally be recovered by me, and the enemies who belong to the Igor family will naturally be killed by me."
Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, blood does not drain, death does not truce. ā
"Good! Good!" said Mrs. Merry, but she could no longer hold on, and she fell limply, and Jabbar hurriedly pressed her gently into the chair.
As if all her spirit had been drained, Mrs. Merry's face was pale at this time, and Jabbar hurriedly took out a bottle of potion from his bosom and poured it for her, and it took a long time for her to recover a little.
Mu En can feel that after the ups and downs, the other party's body is completely overdrawn, and she can support it until now, in addition to the hanging of the potion, it is also because of her unwillingness and obsession to support.
"Muen, from today on, you are Muen-Sparta-Igor, the head of the Igor family, the Grand Duke of Roses, and the lord of the Rose Lord.
From today onwards, you will inherit the glory of a family that has been passed down for 3,000 years, responsible for the lives of millions of people.
From today on, every day I live, I am waiting for you to dye the red rose banner with the blood of the enemy, waiting for those behind the scenes to cry out in fear under your sword. Madame Merry spoke, softly, but in the silence of the room, it was like thunder.
"Trust me, you won't have to wait long for this day. ā
"I believe it. With a slightly relaxed smile, Madame Merry nodded, and said, "I have prepared a sumptuous dinner, and I originally wanted to talk to you while eating, but I am still too anxious after all, because I am old."
This potion has a strong sleeping effect, I have to go to sleep first, you can do it yourself. ā
As she spoke, she pointed to Abdul-Jabbar and said, "This is Abdul-Jabbar, the hereditary penguin steward of the Igor family, who has been in the Igor family for thirty years, and is the most trustworthy person, I will hand him over to you, if there is anything you don't know, or what needs to be done, you can tell him." ā
On the side, Jabbar twisted his body, made an elegant bow to Mu En, and said, "I've seen the Grand Duke." ā
"Yes, I see. Please take care of yourself, Madame. ā
"I will, I'll make it to that day, I will. ā
Jabbar fetched a cart and carried the beautiful lady up, only to find that although her limbs were intact, her legs seemed to be unconscious.
And when Abdul-Jabbar came back again, he also gave an explanation: "When she was attacked with Young Master Peter, Mrs. Merry was also highly poisonous, her nerves were damaged, and now she is paralyzed in her lower limbs. ā
The lids of the silver plates were opened by Jabbar, revealing a variety of delicious foods, and Jabbar's demeanor was almost perfect with aristocratic etiquette to add all kinds of food to Muen, and Muen did not refuse.
Saying that he was really hungry, the knives and forks moved together, quickly destroying the food, Jabbar opened his mouth to remind Mu En to pay attention to the etiquette of the nobles, but looking at the other party's somewhat distracted eyes, he finally swallowed the words.
Speaking of which, although it was only the first time they met, Mrs. Merry made a deep impression on Muen.
She is indeed dying of old age, and she is indeed a pathetic mother, but all kinds of calculations and the grasp of people's hearts are really just right.
Stuck at this juncture, in this way of half coercion, half trading, and adding some almost pleading, Mu En agreed to her request for revenge by blood.
But Mu En asked himself, did he regret agreeing?
But I don't regret it from the bottom of my heart!
And that's where she's really smart!
After a meal, Muen ate the food on the table in a hurry, and he didn't even bother to ask Abdul-Jabbar about the current situation of the Rose Collar and the situation of the attack on Lady Merry, he was immersed in his own thoughts.
It was only at last that he gave Abdul-Jabbar's steward his first order as Grand Duke of the Rose: "Don't announce my existence yet, give me a few days, I'm going to go out for a walk."
I want to see the city of Ilmassu with my own eyes, to see the Rose Collar, to see this area.
I want to see with my own eyes the place that the Igor family has protected for generations. ā
