Author's Note: No one would notice if I secretly added a chapter.
"So, you traitors! I'll only give you two choices! " Duke Hagan was a noble knight of the Holy Grail. He was also very angry that such a big thing had happened in his territory, but he didn't know what to do.
As an exemplary knight and a knight with all eight virtues, Duke Hagen, who had experienced the Holy Grail Expedition, naturally understood the suffering of the people. He was also saddened by the miserable situation that the serfs were in. His rationality told him that this was not the fault of the serfs, but of Kemmler himself who should be cursed for eternity! He should receive the most severe punishment from the Lady!
Well, Kemmler was already dead, so this debt was settled.
But as a ruler, Duke Hagan obviously knew that if he forgave the serfs too easily, it would set a very bad precedent. This was something he couldn't accept.
Duke Hagan could not think of a way to solve the problem. If he could, he would rather ride a horse in the name of the Lady of the Lake and use his own strength to solve the problem. It was too much for him to think of a solution to this dilemma.
At this time, the newly promoted Sir Bertrand used Laing's method to find Duke Hagan. In short, he was playing the good cop and bad cop at the same time.
Duke Hagan knew about Bertrand's deeds. Although he looked down on this peasant from the bottom of his heart, Bertrand had seriously injured Kemmler, which made Duke Hagan have a good impression of him. After listening to Bertrand's suggestion, Duke Hagan was very happy. This was a good idea. Let's do it!
Therefore, in front of the serfs, the soldiers moved aside and made two paths.
The first path led to the barn next to them. There were many dwarves standing there with weapons. The elite dwarves were holding sledgehammers and giant axes. Captain Raymond stood on the platform and shouted, "Due to the agreement with King Belgar, we need people to go to the valley below Blackstone Stronghold to farm. All the serfs who are willing to go to the valley to farm must go to the valley to farm. From now on, your lives are no longer your own! Whatever the dwarves want you to do, you must do it!
"After five to eight years, if you perform well, you can atone for your rebellion and regain your status as a citizen!
"Or, if you don't want to! There's a second option! "Raymond pointed behind him." Please begin your performance! "
The second path led to the execution ground. Five or six executioners stood below the execution ground, seven or eight nooses swinging back and forth in the air.
The serfs swallowed their saliva. At this moment, anyone with a bit of intelligence would know what to choose. The serfs in the team were shaking and whispering to each other.
"How … How do we know you're not lying to us?" An old serf trembled and asked, "It's not that we don't believe you, but …"
"The Duke wouldn't lie to you, because this is an agreement with the King of Belega. It's not the Duke who needs manpower, but the King of Belega needs manpower! The dwarves never deceive others! " "As for the degree of credibility, ladies and gentlemen, I can guarantee that it is absolutely credible!"
"How can you guarantee that it's absolutely credible?" Another serf questioned.
"Because I'm the same as you!" Raymond took off his round hat and pointed at his face. "I'm also a serf who fled! I was lucky enough to escape to the territory of Count Laing Macado of Glamorgan! After working hard to atone for my sins, I became a conscript, then a soldier of the count, and finally a captain! I'm now a sergeant? Do you see? I'm already a free person! "
"Believe what I said, I swear to the Lady, all of this is true!"
"Boom!" It was like a cannonball had exploded among the rebellious serfs. Their private discussion became active.
"Would the knights be so kind?"
"Come on, it's not like you didn't hear it. It's not that the Duke wants to pardon us, but the dwarves need manpower to farm!"
"That's good! As long as they need us to farm for them, they certainly won't take our lives! "
"The Duke is a noble Knight of the Holy Grail, he certainly won't lie!"
"Is that Raymond really a runaway slave? I don't think so. "
"He swore to the Lady! How can it be fake?! "
After a burst of discussion, the serfs made a decision.
"We're willing to help the dwarves farm!"
…
"Laing, do you think those rebellious serfs will agree to farm for the dwarves? Will Duke Hagan agree? " In Laing's winery, the Count was working. A pair of white jade-like arms wrapped around Laing's neck from behind and whispered.
"Yes, the Knights of the Holy Grail are not like many nobles in your Empire. In their long expeditions, every Knight of the Holy Grail knows the suffering of the people." Laing was reviewing documents and smiled meaningfully. "Although Duke Hagan is not very good at internal affairs, he is willing to let go. He may not be able to come up with a solution to the problem, but he will be willing to accept our conditions. He needs a way out, and so do we."
"I see, Mr. Laing is really amazing," the little maid Emilia said with her eyes shining. She had a look of admiration on her face. "I can't believe you can come up with such a solution."
"What a clumsy compliment, Emilia." Laing reached out and pinched Emilia's tender and smooth face. "How did you become like this? I don't like your hypocritical flattery. "
"But I don't spend much time with you." Amelia's cheeks puffed up at the mention of this. "You always have to accompany Sister Suria, and we only spend so little time together in a week. The time we spend together is simply not enough!"
"Suria is my wife, Emilia." Speaking of this embarrassing topic, Laing was a bit embarrassed. The little maid in front of him was going to be the Kurfürst and the Duchess of Nur in the future. He was a bit embarrassed now, so he could only smile. "By the way, didn't Suria take you to the palace banquet before? What did you see? "
"What else can I see? Nothing more than women's topics, all kinds of fashionable clothes, shoes, and all kinds of trivia and gossip in the circle of nobles. I saw a bunch of baronesses, countesses, marquises, and even Duchess Suria and Duchess Carcassonne. But without a doubt, the most dazzling star in the banquet was your Lady Suria. She really stole the limelight. You know, Laing, everyone knows whose wife she is, and how much she is loved by the ladies. "The little maid said sourly.
After the Winter Veil Festival, Suria took Emilia to attend a grand banquet in Helenhilde. The banquet was mainly for the noble ladies of the Southern Principalities. Laing did not go, as he was not interested in the gossip between women. He was busy with all kinds of official business in his territory. After a while, he said, "You won't lose to her in the future, Emilia. I heard that the Grand Marshal of Nur, Urlstein, will lead an army to welcome you?"
"The Black Lady, the Chief Justice of Nur, the Grand Marshal of Nur, the Armoured Nur, and a dozen knights will all send people to welcome me. There are about six weeks left. Laing, I only have six weeks left." Emilia puffed up her cheeks.
"You make it sound like we won't see each other in the future." Laing said casually, "It's not like we won't see each other in the future. I saw that you asked Veronica to build a teleportation circle to connect to the Wizard Guild in Nur."
"That's not the same." Emilia snorted and did not say anything else.
"I'm going to see an honorable duel. Emilia, are you interested in coming with me?" Laing put the signed document aside and said with a smile, "It's going to be a very exciting honorable duel."
"Honorable duel?" Emilia blinked her big watery eyes. The little maid whispered, "Who and who?"
Laing told Emilia about the duel.
It turned out that Julius, Suria's brother and Laing's brother-in-law, was ready to embark on his own expedition to the Holy Grail. The Royal Knight deeply felt that he was much weaker than Laing, and even his sister, Suria, was about to catch up to him. This was unacceptable to the arrogant Julius. After the battle at La Messenell Abbey, Julius also made up his mind to embark on his own expedition to the Holy Grail.
Before he set off, Julius wanted to test his swordsmanship and lance skills. So, he came to Leon's territory, hoping to find Leon's elder brother to test his skills. Anglo and Julius were technically family. Leon even gave Anglo the title of the chief instructor of knights in the territory of the count.
However, Angeron had recently left the little house in the forest. He said he wanted to go to the south, but Laing knew it was because King and Clarkson rarely came to visit. Angeron wanted to go to Tyrell to buy some coffee and sparkling fruit wine.
He rode a hippogryph across the border, so he did not have to pay any taxes.
But Julius found Luo Jia, who had been studying the customs and traditions of the land. When the Prophecy Primordial Geno Prototype saw someone challenge it, it was very excited. It quickly accepted the challenge.
"Let's go and see the fight between Luo Jia and Julius's two brothers." Laing saw Emilia was tempted, but the maid's face was still young. So, he took her hand and said, "After watching the fight, we can go to the Salute of the Holy Grail bar and have a meal. Then, we can go and see what Al Frey has been up to lately."
"Okay." Emilia's face turned red. She immediately agreed. "Just the two of us?"
"Or do you want to invite someone else?" Laing looked like he was smiling, but he was not smiling.
"Mister Laing, you know how I feel, but you still want to test me. You are so evil." Emilia's face was dark. "Why don't I find a chance to kidnap you and take you back to Nur? I will lock you up in the black tower and chain you up. I will feed you well, and you will serve me at night and take care of my children. "
"Ha ha ha ha!" Laing could not stop laughing. He pulled Emilia and said, "Let's go. Just the two of us."
"Okay."
It turned out that the conversation with the maid took a long time. When Laing and Emilia arrived at the arena, the honor fight had already been going on for a long time.
“Fortheemperor！ Hiswillbedone！”
"In the name of the lady, I will win!"
