11 Charming Elaine
The knight of Cilica, who had been tortured by mathematics, was finally humiliated, and with a sense of grief and indignation that he was still alive and dead, he drew his sword and roared hysterically: "It adds up to 156 silver coins! Why does it become 200 silver coins when rounded up, damn it! I fought with you!"
Count Frederick drew his sword from the table cleanly, and roared in a domineering manner: "Then I accept your challenge and duel, knight!"
The silent Knight Sirisha finally sighed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Indeed, in the position of a defeated country, to brazenly hang the military nobles of the victorious country is equivalent to suicide by drinking. But accepting the challenge of a duel from a foreign knight will receive the legal protection of the knightly convention, and even if one of them dies in battle, the continental powers have nothing to say, and the sanctity of the duel must be respected.
The foreign knight was stunned for a moment when he saw the young earl solemnly raise his sword, close his eyes and kiss the blade.
He didn't expect that the other party's purpose was not to blackmail and lose money, but to lure him into a duel. He fell for it.
The technician was stunned, and Sheffield and Moritz looked up in disbelief at their lord, never expecting this farce to turn into a bloody and sacred duel.
"Bang!" the glass shattered at Madame Mary's feet, and the glass shards splashed her legs, but her eyes remained on the count's back, and she thought in surprise: "Why does he want to duel? His opponent is a knight of no low rank, if the count dies in battle, the Duchy of Sirisha will party for three days and three nights! And what is the matter with the beautiful woman behind the earl, is that a court lady? Such a beautiful palace dress is clearly a noble court Van Klee?"
Lancelot's eyebrows furrowed, and he quietly held down his sword, quickly exchanging glances with the three Fort William knights, and then approached the Count gently. The other three Fort William knights immediately pushed away the beers and quietly walked to the three exits of the tavern, silently surrounding the drinking table of the two Silesa knights.
Sheffield shouted excitedly, "Your Highness the Earl, you don't have to ...... for us."
Before he could finish speaking, Count Frederick turned his head to look at Sheffield and said firmly, "I cover you." As he turned his head to comfort Sheffield, he caught a glimpse of Lily shivering behind her. Frederick was startled and looked at her: "When did you come?"
Lily's face was red and white, her eyes were wide open to look at him, her hands were holding her lips, and the wide sleeves of the palace were slid to the crook of the elbow, revealing snow-white forearms, which complemented her with trembling bare shoulders, making people want to comfort her gently. She was originally annoyed, but when she saw that she was about to fight a duel, she couldn't help but turn her anger into anger, and shouted worriedly: "Your Highness, no nobleman will take the risk of challenging a knight of the ranks! At least in the court Van Cly I know, no! The knights of the rank have all undergone strict military training and have experienced cruel real battlefields, and the death of nobles at their hands will only add glory to your opponent, which is very unworthy!"
Frederick didn't expect Lily to say this, he stopped looking at her, turned to face the calm beard, swung his sword diagonally, the tip of the sword scraped the ground, and stubbornly said succinctly: "It's not worth it." But it is necessary. β
"You are such a cunning person, I didn't expect you to be so stupid!" Lily stomped at his back, tears coming to her eyes. Although women can persuade to fight, in the final analysis, they like to watch men duel. So at this moment of parting from life and death, Lily forgot the anger of stepping into the beer hall, and unconsciously cared about Frederick's life and death.
"Lily, leave him alone. Men hate women being verbose the most. On the railing on the second floor, a hand beckoned: "Come up and sit with me." β
Lancelot chuckled inwardly, and Lightning looked up, pressing the right hand of the power sword and almost grasping the clutch. He thought to himself, "I thought the tavern was under my control!
Lily bit her lip and glanced at Count Frederick again, and saw that his back was so resolute that she did not look back at herself, but hurriedly folded her hands upstairs, and the gorgeous sleeves scraped the ground as if they were on the ground. Upstairs, Lily saw a long stretch of purple waterfall hair hanging down on the piano bench, and a pair of white calves playfully playing on the muted pedal under the pianoβshe was humming softly with the dusty sheet music.
"Elena?" called Lily, and the man put down the sheet music and looked back at Lily. Her long hair was gorgeously beautiful, and her purple hair was bound by a thin wreath of white flowers. The dignified lilac bangs are like delicate combs, falling quietly in front of the forehead. Next to the perfectly thin goose egg face, two locks of freely scattered hair float like delicate tassels, which are responsible for embellishing the beautiful contours of the face. Her eyebrows are raised thinly, as if she is pretending to be strong in a soft manner, and her red eyes are mysterious and miserable with a weak nose and affectionate long eyelashes, and when she is focused, she seems to be affectionate, and when she smiles, she is chic and charming. Because she has such beautiful eyes that capture people's souls, no matter how casual her gestures are, she is full of confidence and sexiness, as if there is no step that is not dignified, as if there is no word that is not elegant. This kind of strong beauty that advances and retreats freely makes her faintest smile fascinated. And her charm is like a whirlpool, as long as you look at her eyes, you will drown in those heart-pounding eyes, unable to extricate yourself, difficult to escape.
And the corners of her lips are slightly curled like a cat, and her red lips seem to be often smiling, so that those who love her "strong" and "mysterious" are also intoxicated by the intimacy of her alms to all beings. When she laughed and sang, it made people throb so much that they wanted to hug her, and cherished so much that they wanted to worship her. If she bites her index finger and stares at you, she will be touching without pretending to be pitiful, and she will make you feel determined to "never miss out no matter what", and she can't wait to confess with the most sincere sonnets, even if she is pushed to the guillotine.
"No, call me Elaine. Elena reached out to Lily, caught Lily's little hand with four fingers, pulled her to sit down beside her, laid out the score, and said intently, "Listen to me play the piano." β
Lily covered her lips in surprise and turned her head to look at Elaine, "You actually enjoy playing in the tavern?"
"There was a fool downstairs who was dying with all his blood, and it made my heart surge. Elaine wiped the piano cover with a handkerchief, then uncovered it, put her left hand on her knee, and calmly hit a few keys with her right hand to test the sound: "Don't you see that guy doesn't know how to use a sword at all?"
"Huh, do you mean Count Frederick, the Count Frederick who duel Lord Watson of Sirisa?" Hearing that the Count couldn't use a sword, Lily was dumbfounded: "Why! He's about to duel!"
Elaine focused on the audition and calmly told Lily: "He is wearing a noble decorative sword, not a William Fort power sword, which shows that his noble blood has not awakened, and he is not a combat officer at all, at best, he can be equal to a cavalry squire." He actually challenged the Silesa Knight, who was proficient in using the Blazing Sword, and he was simply sending him to death. β
Lily was stunned. She was about to beg Elaine to come downstairs to stop the duel, but she heard Elaine say casually: "It's heartening to be such a fearless fool to charge into a mess of the future." β
Elaine smiled pleasantly, bowed her hands with five fingers like a ball, elegantly and skillfully rested on the keys, and raised her head and said to herself: "Let's pay tribute with "Charge". β
Elaine stepped on the strong pedal, her ten fingers danced on the keys, and the generous "Charge" rushed out of the long-dormant piano, and the surging syllables poured down to the first floor, which shocked Count Frederick's spirits, and for no reason he was full of pride, took off his white gloves and threw them at the feet of Lord Watson, who was bearded, and pursued aggressively and coldly: "A man who dies in a duel never takes revenge." Come on, make a sacred oath to the spirit of chivalry!"
The silent knight of Sirisha did not move, and was powerless to stop it. Lord Watson, who was difficult to ride a tiger, tasted the bitter fruit of himself, and as soon as the plate armor sounded, he bent down to pick up the white gloves thrown by the earl.
This action declares the duel established. Both sides of the duel will abide by their sacred oath and never take revenge after they die in battle.
