"Edmond, I'm here to trouble you, sir!"

This shout immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

The patriarch of the Wilson family was a powerful and noble marquis, and Edmund was a highly regarded junior of the family, and when he heard that someone dared to be so unreasonable to a nobleman, people began to wonder about the identity of this person.

When they searched for their voices and saw who it was, a look of disgust suddenly appeared on their faces.

Pierce was dressed in rags, and the patches on his body were sewn by Ivy herself, and all the clothes of little value were sold by Ivy to make ends meet, but most of them were lost by the previous Pierce.

Seeing that it was Pierce, Edmund's eyes flashed with disdain, but he was quickly completely hidden, and instead made a gentleman's appearance and got up to greet Pierce.

"It turned out to be Master Pierce. ”

"Ha, it seems that your kid has been quite beautiful lately. Pierce patted the other man on the shoulder, in a familiar tone.

Edmund twitched, but still forced a smile, he seemed so noble and elegant to others, and Pierce was so unbearable, swaggering like a street scoundrel.

In fact, both of them are the sons of the marquis, and they should be equally noble nobles, but now the identities of the two are very different, and Pierce, who is an exploited nobleman, is already like a mouse crossing the street, just looking at the disdain in the eyes of the people around him, you can know a little bit about it.

After all, ordinary nobles and commoners didn't dare to say anything about the things that Pierce had committed, but seeing Pierce's down-and-out appearance, they now wanted Edmund to take action immediately, beat Pierce violently and then order someone to drag him out.

"What's the matter? ”

Edmund raised his head proudly, now the other party was just a commoner, and he didn't need to be too polite except to maintain his aristocratic demeanor.

Without saying a word, Pierce pulled out a ball of paper from his bosom.

As the crowd stared at the paper ball and wondered what it was, Pierce unfolded the contract and placed the written side in front of Edmund.

"This contract is unfair and does not count. ”

Edmund took the contract with a blank face, glanced at the girl hiding behind Pierce, then laughed and handed the contract to the next man.

"Your fiancée's name is written in black and white, am I going to lie?"

Edmund's voice was very convincing, and the onlookers supported Edmund even more one-sidedly after figuring out the reason, after all, Edmund, who was a nobleman, was more trustworthy than a down-and-out nobleman.

"To dare to frame Lord Edmund is to eat the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard. A civilian said.

"Lord Edmund is so personable, how could he care about those 100 gold coins?" said a would-be knight.

"That girl is so pathetic that she has become his fiancée. ”

"If I were her, I'm afraid I would have the heart to die. ”

Everyone sided with Edmund, and the young girls were even more emotional, eager to take action for Edmund and eat Pierce alive.

Standing in the center of the crowd, the two were annihilated by countless accusations and abuse.

Seen for the first time, Ivy timidly leaned behind Pierce, who put his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't be afraid. ”

For some reason, Ivy has a sense of trust in this fiancé for no reason, even though this person has disappointed her so much.

"Ivy, you are not his wife yet, I advise you to leave this liar as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Edmund finished speaking, the people around him immediately shouted in unison.

"Pierce is a liar. ”

"Arrest Pierce. ”

Not far away, several guards from the dueling arena were ready to step forward and separate the agitated crowd, but the young knight raised his arm to stop the movement of several people.

After receiving the order of the commander, several guards immediately stood upright and returned to their posts.

The young knight's gaze looked at the crowd, not knowing what he was thinking.

The middle-aged man didn't disturb him, but waited quietly.

The crowd shouted for Pierce to be arrested, but Pierce, who was involved in the incident, smiled and ignored the taunts and insults of those around him, and looked straight at Edmond with his eyes.

"Enough, he's not a liar!"

Ivy suddenly shouted, and for a moment the surroundings fell silent.

Edmund ...... Edmund lied to me. ”

"It's 100 gold coins, and the return period is half a year later......"

Aiwei said in a trembling voice, her voice became choked, and tears of grievance came out of her eyes.

"Shut up, you lowly woman. ”

Edmund's tone turned cold, his strong gaze fierce, but soon, he was greeted by a smiling face.

Pierce still smiled, but his hand tightened tighter on Ivy's hand.

"Why don't we compete on the dueling table, and the stake is these 200 gold coins. ”

"Duel?"

It was as if Edmund had heard a big joke that a knight's squire was so impatient that he challenged his dignified bronze knight to a duel, and even the onlookers forgot about sarcasm and ridicule, and didn't even react.

"I won, this contract is completely invalid, and if you win, I will leave you at your disposal. ”

Ivy looked at Pierce in surprise, she couldn't believe that Pierce was so bold to propose such a death-defying showdown.

Edmund nodded with interest and directly agreed to Pierce's request.

"I know your strength, I will not come to power in person, but as long as you can defeat my guards, I will agree to your conditions. ”

"Good. ”

Pierce answered without thinking.

As the crowd of onlookers gave way to the venue in an orderly manner, Edmund sat back in his seat in high spirits, more than anything else, to see how Pierce had been beaten to death on the stage by his own guards.

"You can't go, you're going to die. ”

Under the dueling stage, Ivy grabbed Pierce's arm, although she hated this person very much, but Ivy was kind-hearted, and the old marquis and his wife were very kind to her, and she must not watch Pierce die.

Pierce still smiled, but the smile was more tender, raised his hand and gently rubbed the girl's head, and resolutely turned to the dueling table.

"From now on, I will raise you. ”

Looking at the back, Ivy stayed where she was for a while, the sun shining on her long golden hair, bringing out the nobility of that beautiful face, if it wasn't for the tears hanging on it, it would be even more sacred.

The parties have signed the pleadings.

After the duel begins, both sides of the duel live and die.

The middle-aged man looked at the dueling platform from a distance, although there were many onlookers in the audience, they were on higher ground, and it was easy to see every move on the dueling platform.

"The son of the Billy family is still the same as before. ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's evaluation, the young knight sighed without leaving a trace.

At this point, both of them were no longer focused on the game.
