When Lady Barot stood alone in front of the Knights of Barot.

The knights of the Order of Barot faced the same dilemma as the Platinum Knights.

Don't dare to advance, and you can't retreat.

It was an absolutely unwise act, even though they had sworn allegiance to the Grand Duke of Barot and supported the Grand Duke in inheriting everything from the old duke.

But the woman in front of her is the wife of the deceased old duke, their mistress, and offending her, whether it is the laws of the empire or the unspoken rules of the nobility, is absolutely not allowed.

But lay down your arms, jump off your warhorse, get down on one knee and surrender your allegiance to this lady who clearly stands on opposite them?

This is not a good choice either, after all, they have sworn allegiance to the Grand Duke of Barot, who is not related to this lady.

Therefore, the current Barot Knights can only ride on the sturdy war horses, put away the blades in their hands, and look at each other without knowing what to do.

"Why, the old duchess of the Barot family is dead, and seeing me, the duchess who has been canonized by Her Majesty the Empress, you knights who are loyal to the Barot family, have you forgotten all the etiquette that should be there?"

Madame Barot's demeanor was noble and elegant, her expression was indifferent and cold, and a bland question made the faces of many knights hidden under their armor redden.

There was a faint commotion in the Knights, and the horses felt the discomfort of the knights on their bodies and snorted.

"It seems that some of you have not lost the spirit and glory of being a knight!"

Sensing movement in the Knights, Lady Barot laughed at the knights with a cold expression.

The leader of the knights could no longer bear the inner contradiction and the embarrassment of the scene, and the eyes of the onlookers were like swords, forcing him to jump off his horse, kneel on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, bow his head and say respectfully:

"Ma'am, the Barot Knights are eternally loyal to the Barot family!"

Then all the knights of the Order jumped off their horses and saluted on one knee.

Madame Barot raised her chin slightly, walked up to the head of the Knights, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the visor of the head of the Order, and said:

"Knights of House Barot, never forget who led your wives and children to mend your clothes behind you in times of war!"

"Who is keeping your loved ones safe while you are fighting? ”

"Who delivered your firstborn son, Barrow?"

The head of the Order took a deep breath and replied:

"It's you, my lady, mistress of the Barot family!"

Mrs. Barot nodded slightly, and then asked:

"So, who brought you to Barot Manor and made you a knight?"

The knight, who knelt behind the head of the Knights, bowed his head deeply and said:

"There is no doubt that it is you, my lady, that Chigna will always be loyal to you!"

"Loyal?" Mrs. Barot raised her voice sharply.

"Armed with all your horses, and pointing their heads at me, is this your loyalty?"

All the knights bowed their heads and faced the mistress of the Barot family without shame.

Only the knight captain Barrow, let out a long breath of turbid air, and said in a deep voice:

"Madam, we have been ordered by the Grand Duke to come to the Van Dyse Firm to ask for the return of the gold coins they obtained by defrauding the Barot family, you ......"

Before Barrow could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Barot's suddenly sharp voice:

"He is not the Duke of Barot yet! And I, still the Duchess of Barot! Now that my husband has died, I have the power to transfer all the property of the Barot family! Knight, it is my order to transfer the wealth of Balot's estate to the Van Diese firm!"

The Knight Captain Barrow was speechless.

Because Madame Barot is right, the duke has died, and the empress has not yet appointed a new duke, during this period, legally speaking, the Duchess of Barot is the master of the Barot family, and has the power to mobilize all the resources of the Barot family.

At this time, Chigna, who was behind the knight leader Barrow, suddenly said:

"Commander, before the duke title is determined, the Duchess of Barot is the lord we should be loyal to, until a new duke is born! This is the law of the empire, this is the rule of the nobility!"

With this sentence, Chigna made it clear who he supported.

"Chigna, don't forget, you have sworn to the sword of the Grand Duke that you will be loyal to the eldest son of the Barot family!"

Barrow was in a hurry, Chigna was the deputy head of the Knights, and his influence in the Knights was extremely great!

Chigna sneered and said:

"No, I only swear allegiance to the heir to the title of Duke Barot! Although I kneel in front of the eldest prince! But until now, the eldest prince has not obtained a clear right of inheritance, from the perspective of imperial law, the eldest prince is only the illegitimate son of the duke, without the permission of Her Majesty the Empress, he cannot inherit the title of Duke of Barot!"

As soon as he said this, Barrow was a little panicked, and Chigna directly turned his face with the eldest prince, and in front of the civilians and merchants in the territory, he directly called out the three words of illegitimate son, which was almost a fatal blow to the eldest prince of Barot.

Mrs. Barot's eyes lit up, and she said at the right time:

"Chigna is right, as the wife and only wife of the Duke of Barot, I have never admitted that Larue Barot is my son!

"On the noble map, there has never been the name of Larue-Barot!"

These two sentences can be regarded as a direct legal denial of the legitimacy of the Grand Duke of Barot!

The Knight Master Barrow originally wanted to refute Chigna, but when he heard the Duchess say this, he turned around sharply and asked:

"Madam, you say that there is no name of Larue Baggett on the bloodline map where Barot is?"

Mrs. Barot smiled meaningfully and said:

"Duke Barot only has my wife, I don't agree that LaRue-Barot is my son, where is his name drawn? Duke Barot alone can't give birth to a son!"

The Knight Captain, Barrow, fell silent and said no more.

There is no name of the eldest prince on the noble bloodline, what does it mean, Barrow knows very well, this means that although everyone knows that Larue-Barot is the eldest son of Duke Barot, but in fact, from the perspective of aristocratic law, there is no such person as Larue-Barot in the Barot family, and he has no inheritance rights!

The knights of the Order, whether their hearts were towards Lady Barot or their hearts were towards the eldest prince LaRue Barot, at this time, they were all quiet, and they were a little confused by this information.

The name of the eldest prince of Barot was not known on the bloodline map, which is simply unbelievable.

But these words came from the mouth of Mrs. Barot, who is in charge of the bloodline map of the Barot family, and for good reason, Duke Barot does only have one wife, that is, Mrs. Barot, and this lady does not recognize Larue-Barot as her son, so naturally, there will be no place for Larue-Barot on the bloodline map, as this lady said, Duke Barot alone cannot conceive a child.

Things went surprisingly well, so well that Mrs. Barot couldn't believe it.

That LaRue-Barot actually made these knights loyal to him only in the name of the eldest son of his own Balotte family, and there was no other means?

Oh my God, Madame Barot almost wanted to laugh, how innocent this LaRue is!

After her husband died, she endured it in every possible way, for fear of causing death!

If she had known this was the case, she would have announced the news and banished that damned bastard from Barot's territory!

Thinking of this, a confident smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Balot's mouth, and she announced in a loud voice:

"I was coerced by LaRue Barot and could not tell the truth until the arrival of my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Balot family, wife of the heir to Duke Van Dilse, the next Duchess of Van Dilse, saved Lady Ben from the coercion of La Rue Barot. ”

"Now, in the name of the Duchess of Barot, I ask the knights of the Barot family, are you willing to help me, help my son, help the true blood of the Duke of Barot, expel LaRue Barot, and expel this liar who has deceived everyone?"

In fact, the corners of the eyes of the head of the Barrot kept twitching, Mrs. Barot found the right time, most of the members of the Barot Knights are here, and this is the most lively street market in the main city of the Barot Territory.

There were not a thousand but eight hundred civilians watching, and Barrow had no doubt that at this time, the news had begun to spread wildly in the city, and in less than three days, it would spread all over the territory of the real Barot!

And once this news spreads, and after Mrs. Barot really comes up with the bloodline map, it will definitely attract the interference of other nobles, at least the eldest lady who married into the Duke of Van Diese will definitely not ignore this matter.

If things get bigger, even Her Majesty the Empress will come forward to maintain the orthodoxy of the noble bloodline!

With a secret sigh in his heart, Barrow knelt down on one knee again, and said in a sonorous voice:

"Madam, the knights of the Barot family swear to serve the true bloodline of the Duke of Barot, and swear to the death for the Barot family to expel all enemies who covet the title of Duke of Barot!"

As soon as the head of the regiment said this, the most powerful armed force of the Barot family, the Barot Knights, with more than five hundred people, was in the hands of Mrs. Barot.

The news soon spread back to the house, and Mrs. Van Diese and her butler looked at each other.

"It seems that the matter is settled like this, after mastering the family knights, my cheap big brother is no longer a threat, he is just a black iron life!"

The middle-aged fat butler also showed a wry smile and said:

"My madam, then we have invested so many resources to bring down the economy of the Barot family, all of which have been useless, and have caused countless troubles to your brother?"

Mrs. Van Diese rubbed her head vigorously, how could things suddenly become like this.

Her mother didn't even enter LaRue-Barot's name into the bloodline atlas, this kind of thing should have been said earlier, if she had said it earlier, she directly asked her husband's father to spread this matter to other nobles, Larue-Barot even had great ability and could not pose any threat to her younger brother!

"Oh my God, what the hell did my mother think, I came back to compete for the duke title with someone who is not considered the Barot family, and if this matter gets out, the Barot family will become a laughing stock!"

Mrs. Van Dyse lay on the table with all her body weak.

"Madam, should we stop our actions immediately?" reminded the middle-aged butler.

Mrs. Van Dyse jerked off the table.

"Stop, stop immediately, and try to minimize our losses, don't stop all at once, slowly, try to sell what we bought at a high price!"

The middle-aged fat butler got the order and ran out as fast as he could.

Soth heard the conversation in the room, and his face was also full of confusion, spending so much money, preparing so well, calculating one link after another, but the matter was solved in such a way?

It's incredible.

Unexpectedly, when the butler trotted past him, he threw a scroll into his arms.

"This is what Nightingale Holm asked me to give you!" Leaving only one sentence, the butler ran out quickly, knowing that every breath delayed would cause a lot of loss!

At the same time, in the palace, Zhou Mo, who was discussing the specific rules of the knight competition with Rui Min, the emergency teleportation array in his arms lit up.

Ruiwen glanced at Zhou Mo and didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but maybe something is going on in the principality!"

Zhou Mo left the table, walked out of the room, and took out a teleported note from his arms.

After glancing at it, Zhou Mo frowned, sure enough, people are not as good as heaven, and there is no plan in this world that will not have accidents.

A duchess, out of a little woman's careful thinking, did a little thing that affected Zhou Mo's entire plan.

"We can't let the matter of the Duke of Barot's territory end like this!" Zhou Mo made a decision in an instant.

With a touch of his hand, the handwriting on the note disappeared, and then Zhou Mo quickly wrote on the note with his fingers, and the platinum source that exuded invisible light engraved the handwriting on the white paper.

"Contact Grand Duke Barot, give him support to be able to fight against the Knights of Barot, and hint that the Imperial garrisons in Barot's territory will remain neutral while slightly leaning towards Grand Duke Barot!"

He pulled out a miniature teleportation array and teleported the note to the intelligence chief in Barot's territory.

The Barot Territory must be in chaos, and if the Barot Territory is not chaotic, the opportunity for the rise of Soth will be interrupted, and the growth of the Holy Light Seed will have no foundation!

The head of intelligence of the Principality of Platinum in Barot's territory received an order from his majesty, and his brows furrowed.

"Our strength in the territory of Barot is not enough to compete with the Knights of Balot, we need to ask for help from the principality!"

"And the Imperial garrison can't be affected at our level, and we need the adults of the higher levels of the principality to come forward!"

The think tank around the person in charge analyzes the situation for the person in charge as quickly as possible.

"Then do it, with His Majesty's orders, everything is not a problem, but how are we going to explain it to the Van Diesse family?"
