Chapter 553 If it's really that story
William listened to it and understood the whole story.
According to the laws of the Svak Kingdom, if a civilian kills a noble, whether intentional or unintentional, he will be sentenced to death immediately. The higher the status of the noble, the more cruel the civilian's death penalty will be, and his family will be implicated.
However, if the nobles kill civilians, if they are unintentional, they only need to compensate the deceased with a redemption money. If they are intentional, in addition to compensate the deceased with a redemption money, they will also be punished by the kingdom nobles' parliament, and generally pay a redemption money.
The prince Liszt and the elegant middle-aged nobleman have been arguing whether the middle-aged nobleman intentionally or unintentionally.
The middle-aged nobles firmly believed that they had accidentally hit and killed the little boy because the little boy was young and had no ability to work and was only willing to compensate for one-third of the normal life-reward.
Prince Liszt, who saw the middle-aged nobleman riding a horse and hitting the little boy, refused to give up and kept in mind this point. He believed that the middle-aged nobleman intended to kill the boy. In addition to asking him to compensate him for the normal life-ago money, he also asked him to apologize to the noble parliament and pay the punishment atonement money.
The middle-aged nobles are not willing to agree!
Prince Liszt is a prince who is not loved by the king. His two brothers already have fiefs given by the king, but he has not yet. Instead, he often takes care of some untouchable affairs and makes the king angry.
In the royal capital, apart from decent greetings, few nobles would give this handsome prince corresponding respect.
All the noble men believed that being granted a territory was the final result of the prince, before the new king took office.
Although the middle-aged nobleman was not very high in title, his matriarchal family had a high-powered marquis, so he also insisted on his own opinions.
Of course, the main reason is that everyone in the entire capital knows that the king's third son is a "kind" person.
Even the entanglement was in shock, even the city guards were alarmed, and the king sent a command to scold Prince Liszt for his behavior.
But in the end, the king ordered the middle-aged nobles to take out the life-redemption gold - the complete life-redemption gold for a civilian.
The king did not like Prince Liszt's behavior and even felt disgusted, but he could not bear the reputation of the Kaitrani family being dusted.
Things seem to be resolved.
The middle-aged nobleman threw down his life-redemption gold and rode away with an ugly look on his face. The entourage ran and followed him.
Prince Liszt did not care about the king's scolding at all, but was relieved of his behavior - he alone allowed a civilian to get his son's life-redemption money. He comforted the victim a few words, and walked towards the palace under the persuasion of the guards.
The poor civilians who received the life-redemption money looked around with fear, confused and at a loss.

The hotel tables and chairs are either missing a corner, or they are a little tall and low, and they all look greasy.
But even with such simple conditions, the entire hotel is still full.
The dusty traveler, the scammer, the slick and casual man, the woman wearing a odor and wearing an exposed dress, was full of a lively scene.
William couldn't stand such an environment, so after watching the incident, he asked the hotel owner Mrs. Mike for a house with the best conditions and was about to go and have a rest.
He didn't plan to eat what this hotel offers. The extremely unhygienic method not only made William feel disgusted, but also made him wonder if his stomach and intestines, the big knight, could bear it?
Although the food table was gone, he had enough food in his backpack, so he could still deal with it.
When William's feet were about to cross the last step on the second floor, a low voice suddenly came into his ears.
William's brow moved and his steps stopped.
"Have you heard of it? Our king's health is getting worse and worse. I heard that he fainted a few days ago."
"Hehehe, can't it be angered by our respected Prince Liszt? Look at what he did."
"Ah, it has nothing to do with Prince Liszt. The old king got sick some time ago."
"Didn't you come to see the church?"
"I don't know this. This is what a relative who is a cook in the palace said accidentally. She also heard from the tailor in the palace. But I guess if the old king is really sick, he would ask the people from the church to come over and see it."
"Haha, the church cannot cure a naturally aging elderly person."
"Shhh... you can't say such words casually. Do you dare to disrespect the church?"
"...I don't mean that. I just want to say that death is inevitable. Let's go back to the topic. I heard that the old king intends to choose heirs!"
"Is the heir? The new king? Is the tall and heroic prince Charles, or the extremely smart second prince Ferret?"
"I don't know! The two princes are really too good. If I were the old king, I would have a headache."
"Haha...If you are the old king, then Liszt can become the king!"
"Hey, don't say that if the kind little prince Liszt was our new king, then the lives of us ordinary people might be better."
"...Little Prince Liszt is not loved by other nobles. Look at the nickname they gave to the little prince, Isn't it an insult to the little prince? "
"Hey, our little prince is so kind. Who would care about things like the one just now? If it were the other two princes, they might not even look at them."
"You should be more confident and get rid of the possibility!"
“…”
“…
"What else do you have? Which prince does the old king prefer?"
"I don't know! But there seems to be rumors that both princes are too outstanding, and the old king cannot make up his mind, so he decided to test them. Whoever performs best will be the next king."
"have no idea."
"Oh...Huh, since it's a test, will the little prince participate?"
"Probably not."
“What test?”
"If I know everything, I don't have to drink the worst ale with you here!"
The voice of the last sentence was obviously in a bad mood, and the tone was raised several levels.
However, it was nothing in this noisy hotel, and it was soon drowned in an unscrupulous noise.
William also took another step and walked towards his room, "The insincere little prince, two brothers, the old king's throne test... Why does this sound so familiar?"
"If it was really that fairy tale, maybe..." William walked into his room with a sour smell, and after closing the door, he had a plan in his mind.
