"10 silver coins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Frederick looked down at himself. The cloth he wore was enough to cover a year's overtime pay for Rune.

Fillia breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at his side face with disgust, admiring that he was able to converse with the criminal calmly—only Frederick's strict self-criticism could win the criminal's approval in an instant and begin to negotiate quietly.

"Yes. 10 silver coins can buy more diapers and eggs, I just hugged my grandson and needed nutrition money, so I went with my son to work on the broken wall all night to earn overtime pay. But one day it rained, the mortar was not sticky, and the ground was slippery, so that the newly built wall bricks collapsed a section, crushing the four workers. When I dug it out, it was already out of breath. Rune's voice gradually deepened, and he glanced at the lavish hall with some dazed curiosity, and looked at Frederick's expression with some blank curiosity: "You may not be able to imagine such a thing as giving up for 10 silver coins, but you don't care, because even if my son dies by building the wall, even the compensation money will be embezzled layer by layer, and there are only 3 gold coins in my hand." The price of Wiener is so high, this money is not enough for the family to eat and drink for 1 month. ”

Filia's expression softened, and she looked at the skinny Rune in surprise. Seeing the criminal's cheekbones towering high, she relented a little.

Rune had no intention of begging for mercy, but instead sneered: "The all-night construction has taken away half of my family's labor, but the king is indifferent, and even disdains to give an edict to pay compensation; the Works Supervision Office has not even issued a proper written apology! What am I in their eyes? Am I still human? No, I am no longer human, and you admit it, you don't care about us, and you don't even have the slightest curiosity!"

"There are a number of formal channels that you can complain about. There is no need to act in a way that threatens the safety of women and children. Frederick hit the nail on the head.

"Thirteen years! I went to the Department of Justice to present my complaint and saw Justice Francis's face; I went to the Secretary of Justice to kneel down to the Prime Minister only to be told to complain about the overseer; I went back to complain to the overseer, but I was beaten and bedridden for a week -- thirteen years! If even a rich man is willing to listen to me, do you think I still need to blow up Cupid to get your attention!" I live in a leaky shack, and my bread gets moldy after a day, and my grandson is malnourished, like a carpentry doll with only a head and a belly! I'm 54 years old, and I have no savings at all, and when my son and I die, what will my grandson do? You tell me, how can my grandson survive in this cold and strict world!"

Frederick was so stammered by the old man with tears in his eyes that he bowed his head, searched his stomach but couldn't think of a correct answer, and listened irritably to Rune's saliva roar: "At this point, I have lost all hope, and I just want to listen to the king's own apology before I go to the ground! Is it so difficult to apologize?

Rune trembled and raised his hands, looked at the sky and shouted: "I watched you ascend the throne and watch you abdicate! I cheered for you when I was young and strong, but when we grow old together, I have dedicated my life to your empire, what have you given me? What have you given us! Aren't we, lowly people, a member of the HRE Empire! Your Majesty, don't you want to say something to the dead? Aren't your sworn speeches, your fluttering promises, shameful deception? Don't you owe us a decent apology!"

Felia saw Frederick's fingers trembling.

Frederick's mood was like a boat of grief and indignation, rising and falling in the inhumane sea of rage. Who instructed Rune? Who financed Rune to blow up the mansion of the master craftsman? Who eroded the defense line of the forbidden army, who gave Rune the opportunity to plant explosives? The series of questions that had been urgently needed to be asked were all overshadowed and pale before Rune's desperate questioning.

"My brother says that the hounds have fixed a spot for the explosives, and are searching for the accomplices who detonated the explosives—the secret police and dragoons brought in by the king, are in place to cull their accomplices," said Frederick. ”

"If there is the slightest mistake, the men and women in this room will sleep together-" Frederick clenched his fists and thought, then turned his head and begged Filia in a loud and earnest voice: "Is it so difficult to apologize? Filia, you ride fast to intercept the king, and tell him to return to the mansion! If you apologize to Rune, the mansion will be safe and sound, and no one will die!"

"But will he really keep his promise and be caught......" Filia's eyes flickered, and she hesitated to ask.

"Look at the messy fountain outside!" Frederick stretched out his hand and pointed to the square, his eyes blazing: "Rune not only has accomplices, but there are many accomplices! However, they only detonated the fountain when they were sure that the square was empty, and Rune has killed zero people so far! This incident can obviously be resolved unscathed, can't the king make a little sacrifice for the empire? Philia, ask the king to come back and apologize!"

Filia looked at him carefully for two seconds, because the two had the same beliefs, so they had a heart, so that Filia understood Frederick's mood in seconds.

The king could easily escape over the wall under the garrison of the forbidden army, but what about the girls in the hall? weren't they the weaker people hanging in the water? The king adopted a tough policy of extermination at the expense of the lives of the ladies? The king could be tough on the ground just because he was not in the mansion!

So this time, Frederick did not pretend to support someone, but made a categorical decision: in order to protect the safety of the hostages, in order to protect the integrity of the mansion, and in order to fulfill Rune's last wish, he insisted that Filia intercept the king and order the king to settle the matter peacefully.

Filia stared at Frederick in amazement, seeing his eyes sparkle in the night, reflecting the candlelight. In these familiar eyes, Filia saw mercy, justice, and heroism.

Pity, that is, sympathy for the weak.

Impartiality, that is, presiding over justice.

Valorant, that is, reckless.

Therefore, the definition of the eight virtues of knighthood is to uphold justice and protect the right of the weak to survive even if they offend the powerful!

Filia's heart trembled, and she was inexplicably happy, and the tender sympathy for Rune in her heart was echoed by Frederick, who made her limbs warm as a roasting fire, and nodded vigorously: "Okay! I'll intercept the king now, and it will only take four minutes to go back and forth." You have to take care!" was obedient and obedient, rushed out without hesitation, grabbed a fast horse, rolled up to his snow-white legs, rode a fierce horse in a dress, shook the reins wildly, and galloped towards the hazy carriage in the distance.
