Chapter 032: (Aristocracy)
Iris had barely stepped through the door when Tormond followed.
"Boy, are you afraid to leave here because you're afraid?" said Tormond with an interesting sneer. His wounds had healed, except for a new scar on his scarred chest.
"No!" Iris retorted loudly. He thought to himself, "The bearded man is deliberately provoking me, so I won't be fooled. 」
"Don't quibble, you must be afraid of running into bad guys on the road who want to kill you," he continued to mock. "Since you want to continue hiding behind the walls, we don't intend to force you to leave..."
"Did he mean to say I'm a coward, little girl? No, I'm not a coward, and I'm not a little girl. Iris blushed and burst out, "No, I don't want to hide behind the walls." ”
"Aren't you just hiding in the castle now?" said Tormund, still teasing with an unchanging face.
Iris likes the bearded and bold personality, but hates the tone in which he speaks. "What happens to Albel?" he asked rhetorically. "Isn't it the same to stay in the castle, and will those who want to hurt me give up?"
"No one will know that you left here, and no one will know where you have gone. Tormond assured him. "When you get to Albel, you can walk around the crowded streets, go to the beach and watch the sea, and even do whatever you want!"
"Why should I hide?" said Iris, unable to suppress his angry voice. "Let them come! I am not afraid of them. His hands clenched into fists.
"You don't understand anything," Tormond reminded the boy. "It's not as simple as you think!"
"Then tell me, what else is the reason for this?"
"You'll know, but not now. ”
"Tell me, or I won't leave here. Iris declared.
"Boy, you won't understand," Tormond pointed sharply. "This is no longer a matter of your personal safety, but the future of the entire Southern Province, and even the fate of the Svadia Kingdom!"
As the heir to the Harungus family, one of the five powerful nobles of the Swadia Kingdom, any misstep could lead to a struggle between the various forces in the southern provinces. The open and secret rivalry between the nobles never ceases. Tormond is well aware of this.
If an accident happens to Iris, according to the king's law, the inheritance of the Harongos family will fall to Rutgers. At that time, not only will the southern provinces become chaotic, but the fate of the Swadia Kingdom will also change dramatically, and even split may occur.
The boy looked at the serious-faced bearded man suspiciously and said, "Is it because there is a war in the South?"
"Yes, but that's only part of the story, and the real danger doesn't stop there. Tormund took a deep breath and patiently explained. "Listen to me, you have to get out of here, there are some things you will understand sooner or later, but before that you have to follow the arrangements of the adults!"
"Edward finally got his wish to join the King's army in the southern region of Rhodoc, and he must now lead the knights who also thirst for honor in the land of the Rhodocs. Iris thought to herself. "And I was never able to live my life the way I wanted. 」
The boy finally compromised, "When are we going to leave here?"
Tormund smiled triumphantly. "Pack your things! we'll leave in the evening!"
"Why wait until the evening?"
"It's easier to hide at night," Tormund explained to him. "In the dark, no suspicious target can escape the eyes of the Dark Knight, so that no one knows your tracks. ”
"Rickard is coming with us to Albel?" asked Iris, looking confused. He had never figured out what Baron Royce had done to get the mighty Dark Knight to work for him.
"He is the shadow in the darkness, and you are the light under the scorching sun, and the light needs the company of the shadow, and the shadow will guard the light like a sharp sword. Tormond's tone was serious and solemn.
"Do you believe him?" said Iris, saying that the light needs the shadow to keep it company, and the shadow will guard the light like a sharp sword.
"I believe in the little giants. Tormond replied firmly.
It was Baron Royce's decision for the Dark Knight to follow Iris to Elbel. With more escorted knights on the road to attract attention, but with fewer people and fear of danger, Baron Royce believes that the powerful combination of Giant Buster and Dark Knight is the best choice.
"He wounded you with an arrow and almost killed you!" Iris reminded.
"He didn't take my life, and I wouldn't be alive if he wanted to. Tormund still remembers what happened that night.
"You mean...... Did he miss on purpose?" Iris said in disbelief.
Tormond nodded undeniably. "We had no way out, and it was easy for him to shoot us. ”
Iris was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "But why did he do this, wasn't he sent to kill me?"
"You can go to him and ask him face to face. Giant Buster said impatiently. "Boy, you've asked enough, pack your things, we'll leave when it's dark!"
"What about Ramoloch and Landlock?" said Iris. "Can I take them with me?" he liked the two little hyenas, and although the boy didn't want to separate them from his mother, he preferred to keep them with him.
"Who are Ramoloch and Landlock?" asked Tormond, for some reason. He didn't remember the two knights in the castle who called them names.
"It's those two little hyenas you gave me. Iris explained with a smile. "La Morlock and Landlock are the names I gave them. ”
"Give the brutes their own names, are all learned noble young masters like you?" Tormond muttered. "It's good to take them with you, you can't afford to be cheap. "The two little ones can't delay their journey, but for the boy they mean the same thing.
More than 1,200 years ago, a terrifying killer appeared on the continent of Charonay - the saber-toothed tiger. It boasted a pair of huge canine teeth like daggers, and there was no doubt that the saber-toothed tiger was the top killer of the period. Even the 'King of Beasts' lion conceded three points to the saber-toothed tiger.
Soon after, another giant carnivore, the giant hyena, was spotted on the continent of Charlonay. The giant hyena weighs nearly 400 kilograms, and its skull looks as thick and powerful as a hammer. In front of it, the saber-toothed tiger's fangs and claws seemed to be a bit pretentious.
If these two little giant hyenas can grow up smoothly, for Iris who domesticated them, it is equivalent to him being accompanied by two top killers. The difference between them and human killers is that they are carnivorous beasts and are not merciful to any enemies and prey.
"And Sir Rim!" Iris added. The cute and well-behaved little squirrel is his closest friend, and he is by his side from morning to night, and even when he sleeps at night, Jazz nests with the boys.
Tormund frowned and repeated, "Sizz?"
"Jazz is the little squirrel we brought back from the woods that night," Iris emphasized. "I've got to take it!"
"Whatever you like!" Tormund reminded the boy, not minding an extra critter. "But you'd better prepare an iron cage to keep them together, or I'll lose them halfway, and I don't care!"
Iris nodded, and then said, "I'm going to find Hart and ask him to pack his clothes!"
"He's going to stay here, and it's just the three of us leaving tonight. Tormund thought to himself, "There were three small animals with me, almost forgot, and a griffon. It was a really fun trip. 」
"Why can't you take him with you? Hart is-"
"—your servant," Tormund took the boy's words. "He must stay here to fool the eyes that are staring at you in the shadows, and only then can we reach Albert undetected. ”
"-My friend," Iris said stubbornly. "I can't leave him here alone. ”
Tomund's face immediately sank when he heard this. "Boy, I told you, you can't be friends, nobles and servants become friends, only the object of ridicule from other nobles. He pointed sharply. "If this word reaches the adults, he will definitely punish Hart!"
Iris angrily pushed the door open and left.
In the aristocratic state, servants form their own separate class, and like the master class, they also have ranks, groups, and eminent figures within the class, and they are passed down from generation to generation, and their status remains unchanged.
The nobles and the servants belonged to the "superior" and the "inferior", and the distinction was always maintained. Inequality of status and strict hierarchies existed not only between the aristocratic class and the servant class, but also within the two classes.
There is not only a distinction between nobility and servants, but also between nobles and nobles, between servants and servants.
Nobility means "glory, wealth, and support for others all your life," and servant means "ignorance, poverty, and obedience to others all your life." The nobility not only dominated the actions of their servants, but also influenced their thoughts to a certain extent.
The aristocracy often unconsciously exerted a great influence on the thoughts, habits, and emotions of those who were subordinate to them, and the breadth of their influence was far greater than the influence of their authority. The respect of a servant is not only out of obedience to the master, but also to the entire class of masters.
