Chapter 81: The Fallen Aristocrat
"Sister Veronica, you were handsome just now!"
Loxani had an adoring expression on her face, and then said in Veronica's serious tone at the time:
Article 17 of the Code of Nobles in the Code of Javier states that nobles should be treated with due respect in foreign lands, but not privileged by law. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info my God, so majestic and domineering! I don't usually see it. β
Veronica smiled as she rubbed the medicine on the young Ed, "Your Highness Princess, I'm not as exaggerated as you say. I just can't get used to this kind of bullying aristocracy. As the lord of one side, the nobles should be strict with themselves and abide by the rules of chivalry, carry forward the spirit of chivalry, hoe the strong and help the weak, protect the faith, and help the suffering. Instead of bullying. β
Lance clapped his hands, nodded in praise and said, "Well said, Winnie." I myself found out that I didn't know you at all the other day. Today I am impressed with you. It's also my idol! β
Veronica laughed "poof": "Okay, why don't you join in the fun with Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am cold." You two, hurry up and get back to normal. Otherwise I'll be angry. β
"Good, good, my miss. Lance learned from the nobility and bowed pretendedly. Lance then picked up Veronica's rose iron badge on the table and asked, "But what is this iron badge?"
"This is proof of my nobility. Before I got the knighthood, I relied on this iron badge engraved with our family crest to prove my identity. β
Veronica explains, "My family's crest is a blooming white rose. And the four-pointed star under the iron badge is the coat of arms of the Duchy of Idiris. This shows that I owe allegiance to the Duchy of Idiris. β
Lance asked curiously, "Then the family crest of Princess Eve's family is the four-pointed star?"
"No, Eve's Rostor family is a unicorn and the four-pointed star is the coat of arms of Idris. The family crest symbolizes a family. It is possible for members of this family to play in several countries. For example, the Chud family, a great southern clan, has family members all over the southern kingdoms. The national emblem represents a country, and does not belong to any one family, but to the whole people. Every citizen registered in this country can wear the national emblem of that country. β
Lance nodded and said, "I see." β
At this time, the boy named Ed woke up: "I...... Where is this?"
Loxani flew over, and then said with a serious face, "You are dead, of course in heaven." β
Ed sat up suddenly, looked at Loxani in horror, and said, "You're a dragon, am I really dead! No, my mother is still waiting for me to go to the healer to save my life! If I die, she will ......."
"You see, every time a human sees me, it's this kind of ghostly expression. I'm helpless. With that, Loxani flew to the side unhappily.
"Lorney, who told you to scare people. Lance went to the bedside and said, "Friend, you're still alive." It seems that the gods are not ready to receive the soul of such a dutiful son as you. You were just knocked unconscious by that Baron Elam. It was this Miss Veronica who saved you. β
Veronica hurriedly said, "It's not that I saved it, it's the Elan who Lance stopped it." I just helped a little. β
Ed quickly got out of bed, and then bowed deeply to Veronica and said:
"Either way, thank you Miss Veronica and Lord Lance for saving your life. But I really don't have a chance to repay you today. I'm going back to take care of my sick mother. I'm a down-and-out beggar, and I don't have any expensive gifts. If I had been destined to see him one day, I would have died in return. β
Lance picked up Ed, who was bent over 90 degrees in front of him, put his hand on Ed's shoulder, and introduced, "Okay, friend." It's your fortune to meet us. This Miss Veronica is the Healer. She should be able to help your mother see a doctor for free. β
Loxani also flew onto Veronica's shoulder, and then nodded and said, "That's right, our sister Veronica." Not only are people good-looking, but their medical skills are also high. In MΓ©nice, there is an endless stream of people who come to see a doctor within a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are long queues in MΓ©nice. This person is called the 'beautiful medicine fairy' is her. β
"Really?" Ed hurriedly bowed deeply when he heard this, and said in a pleading tone, "Miss Veronica, please save my mother." β
"Your Royal Highness, how can it be so exaggerated as you say. Veronica quickly picked up Ed: "Then without further ado, you can take me to see your mother." β
"Thank you, God of Life, Jean for your wisdom! Thank you, Miss Veronica, thank you. β
So they followed Ed and Lance out of the hotel. It was still night, and the moonlight shrouded the streets of the city of Idiris. The smooth gravel road that was stepped on reflected the silver-white moonlight. In the quiet alleyways of the city, only the footsteps of three people echoed.
Lance asked curiously, "Ed, I heard the tone of that Baron Ellan before, are you a nobleman?"
Ed nodded, sighed, and said, "That's right, I was originally the eldest son of the Duke of Zeit, the Oak Swordsman, Sabence Temple. My mother, Ewinnia Nortonson, was the eldest daughter of Ian Nortenson, Marquis de Compreit, the 'Good Man', and I had an uncle, Martin. And our mother's bloodline is only my grandfather, my mother and my uncle. But that bastard Sabins, my father, is a disgrace to me for the rest of my life. β
"What the hell is going on in your house?"
Ed's originally kind face was filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and said:
"My father, Sebins, has always won the trust of my grandfather, the 'nice guy' Ian. has always played the role of a good husband and a good father. And when I was 8 years old. My uncle Martin was killed by robbers while hunting. β
As soon as Lance heard this, he sniffed out a hint of abnormality in alarm: "Could it be that this is not an accident, but someone hired a robber to kill your uncle Martin?"
Ed nodded and said, "Lord Lance is really smart, yes. There were some suspicions at first, but we thought it was just an accident. But then another year later, my grandfather, Ian, was inspecting the repairs to the city wall when he accidentally fell to his death. β
"So, did your uncle and grandfather be killed by your father?" Lance blurted out, "he wants to take your grandfather's land, the Marquis de Compreette?"
"Wait, wait, what do you mean?" Roxani couldn't react a little, and looked at Lance suspiciously, "What does this have to do with my uncle's killing?"
Lance explained: "You think, his grandfather only had two children, his uncle and his mother. Suppose my uncle dies. Who inherited his grandfather's title?"
"Ed's mother!"
"And whose wife is Ed's mother?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course it's Ed's father......" At this point, Loxani understood, "I see!
Lance said with regret, "I'm afraid Ed's mother is still in the dark." Ed, did your father later ask your mother to annex the Marquis of Compret to the Duchy of Zet?"
Ed nodded:
"That's right, my father first declared me the rightful heir of the Duke of Zete. After that, she persuaded my mother to annex the Marquis of Compret to the Duchy of Zete. At that time, my mother always thought that my father was a good husband, a good father. So I agreed. But three years after the merger, my mother accidentally discovered that my father actually had a mistress outside. That mistress was Lydia, the daughter of the Count of Tyre. The mistress also asked my father to divorce my mother and marry her. And annul my inheritance. β
Lance interrupted Ed at this time, held his chin, and said suspiciously, "That's not right." Even if your mother's and your inheritance are abolished, it will only be the Duke of Zeit's inheritance. Your mother is still the Marquis de Compret, and you can still inherit your mother's title. How did you get to where you are now......?
Ed closed his eyes in pain: "That's right, it seems that Lord Lance has thought of it. β
Veronica was surprised, "No, I just thought about it for a while and said no." How could your father have done such a thing? β
"That's right, he did. Ed nodded with tears in his eyes, looking at the dark night sky in despair.
