96 The back of the domineering empress
Everyone keenly smelled that between the mild-mannered Prince Ferdinand and the silent Frederick, there was already a very serious question of friendship!
But Ferdinand simply did not give the nobles time to think deeply. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Because, when the prince leisurely tilted his head to look at Frederick, a tin can behind him had already "clicked", took a step forward, and said in an urn voice: "Your Royal Highness, forgive me for taking the liberty of it. I believe Count Frederick is lying. He didn't have what it took to slay the Red Raptors, as I witnessed my brother, Lord Watson, duel with Count Frederick. Count Frederick, he is a rough with a divine power of 27, and he is not even qualified as a recruit. My younger brother, Watson, accidentally died under Frederick's sword because he was slashed by Lancelot, the chief knight of the William family. I repeat, Frederick, there is no fighting power. ”
The nobles, on the contrary, calmed down. After 0.1 seconds of shock, they quickly adapted to the changing speed of the plot, so they began to watch in silence, trying to guess the winner.
If Frederick was able to gain a foothold, the nobles would have to consider establishing trade with Bafaria, admitting Frederick into his network, and using Frederick's power to cushion Ferdinand's influence. If, on the other hand, Frederick had just entered the city gates and had been accused of lying, his honor had been discredited, and his credit had been reduced to zero, the nobles would have been as easy as a holiday, and they would have only to quickly divide up the newcomers and continue to kiss Ferdinand's ass.
To be honest, everyone is looking forward to the latter kind of plot, because the robbery is much more pleasant, and on a hot day, the mentality of the masses is generally more impetuous.
The aristocracy showed the consciousness of watching a play, and Ferdinand also acted very devotedly. He frowned and scolded: "Sith, if you dare to slander Lord Bafaria, I will strip you of your rank. ”
The Sith was undaunted, and as soon as his armor sounded, he bowed to the empress and saluted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness Frederick is lying. I swear by the honor of a fearless knight and the credit of my family: I watched the battle between His Highness Frederick and Watson in its entirety. Frederick's steps were disheveled, his swordsmanship was rusty, and his use of strength was imprecise. There was no way he would have had the opportunity to stand under the jaw of the Red Raptors, let alone deliver such a sharp and fatal blow. Because before he swings his sword, the Red Raptor, known for his speed, will mercilessly gnaw off his head, and he can't dodge. This is a conclusion that any knight can deduce. So, I'm sure: Frederick lied. ”
"So how will you prove it?" said Frederick, clutching the reins from above, his eyelashes hanging expressionlessly, looking down indifferently at the tower-like Sith.
He remembered this fearless knight. As Watson's body was carried away, the Sith, the tower-like figure, almost impulsively drew his sword and chopped Frederick. After being frightened back by the four Knights of the Round Table, the Sith slammed the door and left, leaving behind a simple oath:
"Frederick, you will pay the price. A terrible price. ”
This is a fearless knight with indifferent family affection, and after the loss of his brother, he takes his self-blame and remorse on Frederick's resentful oath.
Therefore, when the Sith reported his name, Frederick knew that the Sith's revenge was on the horizon.
So he tried his best to be cold, with the most hypocritical composure and contempt, to cover his stirring heart. To outsiders, Frederick really looked at the Sith with a disdainful gaze overlooking the ants, as if he was indifferent to the revenge of this fearless knight, because it was not enough to worry about it.
Without hesitation, the Sith drew his sword. The blazing sword rubbed against the scabbard, making a murderous grinding sound, teasing the beastly nature that was eager to kill, which lifted everyone's spirits and immediately boiled with excitement.
Then, under Ferdinand's gaze, Sith lifted his visor, solemnly raised his sword, kissed the blade, and then pointed his sword at Frederick, and declared in no uncertain terms: "To prove that you are lying, for the sake of the honor of Minister Sirisa, and for the sake of Watson of Heaven, I will wage a holy duel against you under the light of the Empress." If I fall under your sharp sword, I will make up for the humiliation of you with death. If you fall before me, I will mercifully forgive you and prove my credibility to the world. May the Knightly Convention shelter me. ”
Frederick had a hard time riding the tiger. Everyone immediately booed, everyone was relaxed and happy, feeling that they had watched a good show, and they all admired Ferdinand's beautiful hand. Ferdinand looked up at Frederick with a curious look on his face, and asked innocently: "Your Highness Frederick, you can kill the four-hundred-pound Red Raptors King with one blow beautifully, and it is estimated that you can also deal with the Sith......"
"That's enough!" Elena scolded, suddenly, angrily, leaving the elated aristocrats stunned.
Ferdinand's expression stiffened, and he turned his head to look at the Empress stupidly. The Empress had always been polite to him, and this was the first time that Elena had lashed out at the Prince.
Elena suppressed the onlookers, who feared that the world would not be chaotic, and walked over without squinting, not looking at the prince's eyes at all, but threw the handkerchief in the face of the Sith, raised her eyebrows, and raised her head to reprimand the stiff Sith: "You dare to usurp the glory of the Emperor to provoke the loyal subjects of the empire who guard the frontier?
Elena turned her head to scan the stunned nobles, her anger still subsided, and she expounded with a cold face: "For the sake of Watson of Heaven? I hate contradictory rhetoric, and I hate femme fatales under flowery rhetoric. If you don't get the protection of the emperor, your dueling request will be considered illegal and rejected on the spot!"
Frederick looked at the queen's domineering back in amazement, and his heart was like a hot spring blowout, and the spurting joy almost washed him into the sky. He saw Prince Ferdinand look at the Empress in amazement, deliberately distorting his face in surprise, trying to hint at dissatisfaction, but the Empress did not look at Ferdinand at all, which made the Prince feel embarrassed. - Frederick didn't bother to pay attention to all this, he smelled the pink cherry blossoms, heard the golden sun singing in chorus, and guessed incredulously: "She cares about me, she cares about me, she's afraid, she's afraid I'm dead! Oh my God, why does she pretend to be indifferent to me?"
The Empress's fragrant handkerchief fell from the Sith's face, revealing the Sith's face covered with question marks, or simply a bewildered expression. He couldn't figure out where he provoked the empress to be punished with this handkerchief for smashing his face.
Prince Ferdinand was stunned, looked at his beautiful and touching niece, and saw that the empress's thin lips were furiously pursed, looking arrogant and charming, but surging with strong sexiness. This made Prince Ferdinand stay for a while before he came back to his senses, and his heart was galloping, and he woke up like a dream: "There is adultery!
Lily stared at Prince Ferdinand, whose sideburns were gray, and had the illusion that the crown of the prince's head was green.
But the terms of the marriage were still being negotiated privately, and Prince Ferdinand was not even engaged to Elena. So Ferdinand, though angry, could not charge adultery. His hideous expression rippled for a while, and then he gradually suppressed his anger, regained his senses, and immediately found another way to stop the loss.
