Section 113 The Prince's Challenge
Although these nobles didn't dare to say anything on the surface, and even praised the old evil for having a surname, but the faces and mouths of the nobles were usually the opposite of their hearts, and it was conceivable that these guys had long hated the old evil in their hearts, but they couldn't provoke the Stephen family for the time being, so they didn't dare to attack.
The old evil naturally didn't have any interest in these guys who didn't go on the stage, so he found a corner and sat down. Although he didn't want to be ostentatious, his two-meter height was too conspicuous, and he was easy to be noticed in a group of nobles around him.
Sure enough, not long after the banquet officially began, a beautiful man with long ears who was gorgeously dressed came to the old evil accompanied by Constani's younger brother, little Hercules.
This guy who is obviously the prince of the elven clan Arthas is very handsome, and gives a very sunny feeling. He seems to have been born with a unique aristocratic temperament, elegant, subtle, as if the word 'suave' was specifically used to describe him. Even with the pickiness of the old evil, after seeing this person, he couldn't help but secretly praise him, what a talent, little white face!
After coming to the old evil, Arthas calmly applied an impeccable aristocratic etiquette to the old evil, not taking it big because of his status, and then said politely: "It's an honor to invite you, Your Excellency Little Stephen, may I ask, can I sit here?"
I have to say that this person is really charming, even if the old evil doesn't like to deal with the little white face so much, he must admit that this is the existence of the elf prince that makes the old evil unable to give birth to a hateful heart. Seeing that others were acting like this, the old evil was embarrassed to be too big, so he waved his hand and said, "Please take a seat!"
"Thank you!" Arthas nodded slightly and thanked him before he did it quietly, while little Hercules on the side was not as humble as him, and sat directly beside him, looking at the two of them with a smile.
"First of all, I'm very grateful to Your Excellency for accepting my invitation~" Arthas was very serious in the way of the nobles, and planned to be polite first.
However, the old evil didn't eat this at all, he frowned, and waved his hand directly: "Stop, stop, don't talk about that nonsense, or tell me directly, the reason why you specially asked me to come, I only want to know this when I came here today!"
"Oh!" "Arthas was stunned by the old devil's unconventional way of playing cards, but he quickly reacted and nodded immediately, "Well, that's right, I know one thing by chance, and that is that some of your recent actions have caused a lot of trouble to Miss Constani. As a friend of Miss Constani, I hope that you will cease these acts. ”
"Huh?" The old evil's face suddenly sank, and the glimmer of favor he had just raised for Arthas disappeared. He didn't answer Arthas's words first, but turned his face to look at little Hercules. In particular, he paid attention to the lightning ring on the other party's finger.
Although little Hercules is young, his wisdom is very high, he naturally knows what the old evil means, and hurriedly said: "I have not interfered in the matter between you and my sister, and today's matter is completely the decision of His Highness Arthas. He happened to be here to participate in the auction of the Thunder Knife, and I told him some interesting stories, which is not a breach of my promise, right?"
"It would be very disappointing if the world-famous wisdom of the Hercules family was merely a rhetorical quibble!" After the old evil finished speaking, he did not look at him at all, but turned to Arthas, and said proudly: "I can tell you clearly, Your Excellency Arthas, that I have never been influenced by anyone. Unless Miss Constani herself refuses, no one will be able to stop me from pursuing her. Among them, you are included!"
After hearing this, Arthas frowned slightly, he was a little angry at the unreasonableness of the old evil, but the aristocratic temperament cultivated for many years made him endure it, and he still said very tactfully: "Your Excellency Stephen, I think that Miss Constani may like someone like you, but because of the family's face, she can't directly refuse you, so please forgive her distress?"
"Did she tell you to tell me these words?" the old evil suddenly asked coldly.
"No, though, I don't think I'm going to get her wrong, after all, we've lived together for 20 years, and I've pretty much watched her grow up!" Alsace affirmed.
"So you're interfering in my affairs with Constani for no reason?" said the old evil suddenly in annoyance: "You know, when I was chasing girls, I hated some self-righteous guys to stir things up for no reason, I warn you, don't meddle in the affairs between me and Miss Constani, otherwise, your coquettish face will be flattened by me!"
"You are so unreasonable!" Arthas couldn't stand such a provocation from the old evil no matter how good his cultivation was, and he suddenly said angrily: "Your Excellency Stephen, you are so vulgar, how can you be worthy of the elegant and holy Miss Constani? You don't even deserve to be a nobleman!"
"Cut!" The old evil immediately pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "If the aristocracy refers to a little white face like you like a sissy, then I will definitely be killed and unwilling to be a nobleman!"
"Who do you say is a sissy?" Alsasson was furious, and he couldn't help but stand up violently, and said angrily to the old evil, "I warn you, Your Excellency, that although the elves worship nature and love peace, we also have the courage to fight with our swords in the face of unreasonable provocations. You have to apologize to me right away, and if not, I don't mind teaching you a good lesson!"
Since Arthas himself was the protagonist of the banquet, his every move was secretly observed by everyone, and under his anger now, his voice and movements were a little loud, so that he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the entire hall was quiet for a while, and everyone was stunned to see everything here.
Those nobles who had been offended by the old evil just now were secretly happy in their hearts, and in their opinion, this time the old evil would definitely apologize to others in great shame. You know, although the Stephen family is very popular in the griffin kingdom, but with the elves, it must be nothing at all.
However, to the surprise of everyone present, the old evil stood up without showing weakness, and then said word by word to Arthas in an extremely contemptuous tone: "Then come to teach me a lesson, mother~mother~tone!"
"Ahh Originally, he thought that as long as Arthas came forward, little Stephen would definitely give in, and then he could easily solve this trouble without hurting the harmony of the two families.
But the situation is completely different from what Hercules Jr. had envisioned. The hard-line attitude of the old evil has made the situation worse to an unimaginable level. It is foreseeable that no matter which of them teaches whom in the end, the Hercules family will completely offend the Stephens because of this. It is obviously not cost-effective to offend such a powerful enemy in vain without getting any benefits. Undoubtedly, this is an unwarranted disaster! Little Hercules is almost on the verge of repentance now.
"Suck!" Although Arthas has an elegant demeanor and a great bearing, but he has been repeatedly humiliated by the old evil in public, and the anger in his heart has already reached a peak, he didn't have any nonsense, he directly took out a beautiful dagger, and then threw it fiercely, so that it was inserted on the table in front of the old evil, and then he said angrily to the old evil: "I'll wait for you in the back arena, if your Excellency is a man, please don't let me wait for a long time!" After speaking, he turned his head and left.
Little Hercules woke up at this time, he didn't dare to stop the angry Arthas, so he had to stop the old evil who pulled out the dagger, and whispered in a pleading voice: "Little Stephen, this time I'm wrong, okay? I beg you, you hurry up, don't start a war with His Highness Arthas!"
"Do you want to intercede with him now?" tell you, it's late!" the old evil sneered, "I must teach that sissy a lesson!"
"I'm not worried about him!" little Hercules was so anxious that he was covered with cold sweat, and hurriedly said to the old evil man, "Don't look at His Highness Arthas looks about the same age as us, but he is an elf, he is over 120 years old this year!
"Hehe!" the old evil suddenly smiled and said, "I understand, you kid is afraid that I will be beaten, so the Stephen family and Hercules are at odds, right?"
"Oh, can you tell?" said little Hercules, a little surprised.
"Only you stupid can't understand!" The old evil then shrugged his shoulders and said: "Don't worry, the relationship between our two families can't be wiped out by a single battle, anyway, after this incident, your father will beat you up hard, and then take you to my house to apologize, and then there will be nothing to do!"
"This!" Little Hercules touched his ass and smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if I am beaten, but the problem is, if you are crippled by His Highness Arthas, it will be difficult to say!"
"Hmph!" the old evil said disdainfully: "Just with that sissy, you are not qualified to cripple me!"
