Chapter 91: Before the Duel
"Father, you must find a way to stop their duel!" Miss Winnie's first thing to do when she returned home was to ask Viscount Brontë for help. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Baby Winnie, you must know that duels between nobles are sacred, protected by the laws of the Empire, and are the rules that every nobleman must follow. Not only me, but even Viscount Rubin of the House of Milne has no right to interfere in a legitimate duel. Viscount Brontë said with a wry smile.
"Then I don't care, I can't just watch Leo go to death, you have to help~ You have to help!" Although Miss Winnie's pampered nature is completely restrained in front of Leo, in her own home, she is not polite to her father, and it is her prerogative to be unreasonable.
"Winnie, I see, you don't have to worry about Leo first!" Baron Duke, who was on the side, hurriedly spoke up and rescued Viscount Brontë, who was helplessly shaken by Winnie.
"I don't think Leo was a reckless and impulsive man, and since he dared to agree to Paul's duel, he should be sure. Besides, it's useless for you to be anxious now, you might as well rest and cheer for Leo tomorrow!" Baron Duke's words calmed Miss Winnie, and after a moment of careful consideration, she returned to her room.
Watching Miss Winnie return to the room, Viscount Brontë secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since the death of his wife, this precious daughter has become more and more lawless, it seems that someone really needs to discipline her well.
"Duke, do you really think Leo has a chance of winning?" asked Viscount Brontë to his brother.
"Hmm~, don't dare to say anything else, the cavalry duel proposed by Baron Dewar is sure to win. Dewar's stupid pig didn't think about it, since the horses of Leo's cavalry were so good that he coveted them, how weak would those cavalry be?
"As for Paul's personal duel, to be honest, I don't think there's anything to worry about. ”
"Oh?" Hearing his brother's words, Viscount Brontë sat up straight unconsciously.
"Don't forget, Leo and the crown prince sneaked into the south to capture the Grand Duke of Wagner before he was knighted. The younger generation didn't know the power of the Wind Sword Wagner, which was one of the best masters in the empire, and was captured alive by two young people, even if it was fake news made by the imperial officials to build momentum for the crown prince. But who can guarantee that Leo will be worse than Paul?" The details of Archduke Wagner's capture were not revealed, and everyone thought that it was just to create a momentum for the third prince to become the crown prince, but Baron Duke thought that there must be a certain truth hidden in it.
"What if...... I mean, if ...... Leo really won. Viscount Brontë hesitated for a moment and continued, "Do you think Leo is a suitable person for Winnie?"
When Baron Duke heard his brother ask this question, he said with some hesitation: "It's hard to talk about this issue now, even if Leo wins the game, he will still have a grudge with the Milne family and Baron Dewar, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future." Our Brontë family is not suitable to meddle, after all, although Rubin claims to be fair on the surface, he is actually a narrow-minded person, and it is not good for us to wade into this troubled water at this time. ”
"But...... Winnie probably really has a crush on that Leo, I'm worried that Winnie's stupid girl will do something for Leo, brother, after tomorrow's competitive game, you'd better let Winnie stay at home and don't run around, it's none of our business to do outside. ”
Hearing Baron Duke's cautious advice, Viscount Brontë pondered for a long time and agreed with his opinion, the current Brontë family cannot be opposed to the Milne family, otherwise the peace of Silverstone City will be broken.
Miss Winnie, who returned to the room, closed her eyes or opened them, her mind was full of Leo's smile and Leo's confidence. She clenched her pink fists with both hands, opened her lips slightly, and said softly to herself, "Winnie, believe him, he will not lose!"
Leo Ke would never think that he would lose, after all, during this period of time, through Feng Xifan's careful guidance and his own diligent cultivation, Kunlun's basic internal strength has been laid, Kunlun's swordsmanship and body skills have been small, plus he has experienced several hard battles in the south and has rich experience in fighting the enemy, how can a boy like Paul in a greenhouse be his opponent.
Like Leo's strong self-confidence, Paul is confident about tomorrow's duel.
Although Viscount Rubin reprimanded him fiercely in front of many nobles, and did not hesitate to slap Paul, the duel had already taken effect, and even if he was a noble consul, he had no right to interfere, and Viscount Rubin could only try his best to help his son win the duel.
As soon as he got home, Viscount Rubin took a long sword from his bedroom and handed it to Paul. Paul took the sword and looked at it carefully, and was immediately shocked, "Father, isn't this the heirloom sword of our Milne family, why did you take it out at this time?"
"Paul, this is an elite magic sword, and the magic crystal on the hilt can make the blade sharper, enough to cut through ordinary weapons. Originally, I planned to wait for you to officially take over the family affairs before handing over this heirloom sword, but tomorrow's duel is related to the honor of our Milne family, and you must not lose, so you will use this sword to duel tomorrow. Viscount Rubin reluctantly handed the sword to Paul.
Paul took the sword, swung it lightly, his heart was full of joy and confidence, and he promised that he would win tomorrow and never disgrace the glory of the Milne family.
After Baron Nadua returned, he also ordered the cavalry of his family to be fed, and repeatedly instructed him to win the group fighting competition, and he must not fall into the name of Baron Dewar.
The duel between the new viscount and the eldest son of the Milne family, and the cavalry battle between Baron Dewar, spread throughout the streets of Silverstone in a single day, and the two duels were regarded as the biggest attraction of the year's harvest festival, and countless people were eagerly waiting to see them in person.
As the host of the Harvest Festival, the duel was initiated in front of the Harvest Goddess Temple, so the presiding priest of the Harvest Goddess Hall announced that he would personally judge the two duels, and the venue of the duel was also set in the square in front of the Harvest Goddess Temple.
On that night, Baron Leo's fame and all the gossip about him swept through Silverstone like the wind, reaching the level of a household name, and almost no one was unaware of the duel between the new baron and the son of the old nobleman.
