"Lord Lane, your son Hans is not a knight, and William is not his knight's squire, and the relationship between the two is not that of a monarch and a vassal. William was not a warrior, but a blacksmith. ”

Father Bernard said with a frown, correcting Knight Lane's words.

Knight Lane's accusation was too harsh, and if Hans was a knight and William was a knight's squire, then the accusation could naturally be established.

However, Hans was only friends with Kuhn, Hess, Wilhelm and others, and even with Hans as the leader, the four were still essentially equal.

A knight's squire must participate in battle in the same way as his master, who is a knight, and whose honor is the honor of his squire, and likewise, whose shame is his master's disgrace.

If his master dies on the battlefield, then it is impossible for the knight squire to survive alone.

But the problem is that Hans and Wilhelm are not masters and servants at all.

"So what? At least all four of them dared to run out and slay the dragon, and they were naturally the rightful warriors, the warriors I admitted. ”

Knight Ryan looked at William's holy sword wrapped in cloth and said, "Although I am loyal to the baron, I was canonized as an imperial knight by His Majesty the Emperor because of my past exploits against the French king, although the title cannot be hereditary, but my identity is also a monarch, and my son Hans is also a prince, so they are the relationship between princes and commoners." ”

William looked at Knight Ryan in silence, looked at Prince Brant and the captain of the Crane militia who had a strange face on the side, and after seeing that they did not refute, he immediately understood that Knight Ryan was not lying, and Hans might really be a prince.

This is the reason for the world background of "Grimm's fairy tales", where princes and princesses run all over the ground.

The world of Grimm's fairy tales is medieval Germany, and before the reunification of Germany was the Holy Roman Empire.

His Majesty the Emperor once granted monarchial privileges to all princes directly under the empire in the form of imperial law, and the Golden Seal Edict made this clear.

That is to say, the lords of the empire directly belong to the emperor, and they all enjoy the monarchy in their own domains.

Lords, they are not only rich but also noble, because they are all monarchs in their own realms.

According to the modern definition of a state, a country is considered a state because it has land and people and corresponding sovereignty.

Although the Vatican is only 0.44 square kilometers and has a population of only a few hundred people, it has sovereignty over territory and people, as well as recognized by all countries, so the Vatican is a country.

Although the Order of Malta was historically a sovereign state, it no longer has a territory, but only rents a building for office, even if it has the sovereign certification of the people and more than 100 countries to establish diplomatic relations with each other, but it cannot be regarded as a sovereign state because it has no territory.

The nobility of the Holy Roman Empire, who not only owned the land and the people, but also had the right to be a monarch, the monarch of an irrefutable sovereign state by modern standards.

Knight Ryan has a manor in the baron's domain as a fief, the manor has nearly 100 families, 280 people, 800 acres of land, although loyal to Baron Andag, but the knight of the empire, nominally directly under the emperor, Knight Ryan is also a king (monarch), so Hans's identity is also a prince.

Lao Tzu is the king, and the son is naturally the prince, so it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it.

"Knight Lane, you are the king, Hans is the prince, but what does this have to do with me."

William sneered, the clay man still has three points of fire.

Although the Middle Ages seemed to have few human rights except for the nobles and clergy, they were freedmen, not serfs.

The sun rises and the sun rests, what is the difference between Dili and me?

But even if he is a serf, when the knife is on his neck, he will not rebel.

"What does it matter? Honor, little William, I propose a duel to you! ”

Knight Ryan stared into William's eyes and said word by word.

"Duel!"

William's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Knight Lane in disbelief, puzzled by this.

"Ryan, this kind of thing is too despicable, you are a 1st order knight with the light of the Holy Seal, and William is not a warrior, he is just a blacksmith, a child."

Father Bernard blamed Knight Lane, and many of the people present couldn't help but nod.

One is a knight who has been famous for a long time, and the other is still a child, although Knight Lane said that William was a warrior, but those present did not agree with it.

"A warrior is a warrior, there are no children and no old people." Knight Ryan shook his head and said.

"William, refuse him, this unreasonable dueling request, just refuse." Old William said loudly.

"William, even if you refuse the duel, I will kill you."

Knight Ryan chuckled and said, "How is it, William, what is your opinion?" ”

"You're murder!" Deacon Arnold muttered quietly at this scene.

William will be killed by Knight Lane if he accepts a duel, and William will be killed if he refuses to accept a duel.

"If you refuse to accept the duel, you will be killed, and the territory does not have this law!"

Old William looked at the baron's son, Prince Brandt, and said, as if he wanted Prince Brandt to come forward.

"Now it's there, do you want it? I am my father's agent, and I can enact the laws of my territory on my father's behalf, and I can write to you right away if you want it!" ”

Prince Brant looked at Knight Lane for his resolute look, and then looked at William Sr. and William Jr.

Any noble lord has the right of the monarch in his own territory, and the sovereignty of the state in the Middle Ages is actually the monarchy, a series of privileges such as justice, war, administration, diplomacy, etc.

Don't you want the law?

Okay, then I'll write you a copy and issue it on the spot.

This is the law, this is the decree, this is the will of the sovereign.

Defy?

If you don't accept it, then you can die.

"If you don't fight me, then William you are nothing more than a coward, and I will never allow your reputation as a coward to affect my deceased son, this is a duel for your honor and that of my family."

Knight Ryan said in a deep voice, and at this time he looked at William less like a living person and more like a corpse.

"I'm not a coward, I just promised your son Hans, as well as Kuhn and Hess, that I will definitely grant their wishes, and I can't die here yet, so I accept your duel."

William ripped off the strip of cloth and revealed the holy sword in his hand.

The silvery-white light shone on the sword, exuding a hazy light, and the smooth sword body emitted a cold light, and Father Bernard looked at the sword in William's hand and wiped his eyes with his hand in disbelief.

"Holy Sword Prima Lux (Dawn), why is it in the hands of you William, isn't this in the hands of Francis the Brave?"

Bernard looked at the Holy Sword in astonishment, and then suddenly realized, "I see, it turns out that you got the Holy Sword, no wonder ......"

"The side that wins the duel will be glorified, so Knight Lane, since you are so persistent, then for my glory, please die!"

William said loudly, and the holy sword surged with energy, and he vaguely seemed to hear the naked child angel singing around him.

Prima Lux (Dawn) is such a beautiful name!
