Chapter 30: The Oath of a Knight

In his anger, Ifu sent an invitation to Count Lauziz to ask for a duel. It was common for the duel between the two nobles, but as a knight, Ifu challenged Count Lauziz who had a much higher status than him. Of course, it was not the first time that the low-level nobles launched a duel against the high nobles. However, when Ifu put himself in an extremely unfavorable situation, he did not realize it at this time, and Count Lauziz sat calmly on the seat brought to him by his inner-domestic knights.

"Dule? Knight, you have to think clearly." Earl Lauziz grabbed a handful of grapes on the table, picked off one and put it in his mouth to chew it, and said vaguely.

"Of course, please accept the Count." Ifu pushed away the nobles who blocked him and tidied up the clothes. The clothes were not cheap. Although they were incomparable to the flaunting clothes on Earl Lauziz, it was already very expensive for the Wendell family. Ifu was very confident in his martial arts. He believed that as long as Earl Lauziz accepted the duel, he would definitely beat the arrogant count to the point of bruising. As long as he would offend Duke Mason, Ifu, who was dizzy by the anger, would no longer care about it.

"Hmph, okay, Taber will fight this knight on my behalf." Earl Lauziz's mouth curled up, showed a cunning smile, and stretched out his right hand and waved at a knight in the inner palace behind him.

"What? I want to duel with you face to face." Ifu was stunned. He didn't expect that Count Lauziz would let his knights fight on his behalf, but he couldn't say anything against him, because when the duel occurred, the high-ranking nobles could assign their knights to do it for him, and this was even a noble duel recorded in the imperial code.

"I'm sorry, I'm very busy, uh, busy destroying the delicious food on the table, while my hundred knights are relatively idle. I have to find something for them to do." Earl Lauziz's little eyes showed a teasing look. His movements were as exaggerated as the actors on the stage, and the ostrich feathers on his head trembled with the swing of his head.

"Hahaha~~~." Count Lauziz's performance and his words made the nobles watching around him find the whole thing ridiculous. They burst into laughter. Indeed, even the brave knights of Yifu could not deal with one hundred knights at the same time. This is why the low-level nobles could not challenge the high-level nobles, because the high-level nobles always had a large number of knights who served them, and the low-level nobles could not challenge the people they really should face. In order to tease the opponents who challenged duels, the high-level nobles even exhausted their inner-domestic knights teased their opponents, and then they ended up with a shameless thing like severing their opponents, which was completely legal in form.

"No, shameless." Yifu felt unprecedented humiliation. The ridiculed voices and eyes of the nobles around him made him feel even more ashamed. He stomped his feet angrily and cursed, but even the angry curses were soon drowned in the laughter of the nobles. Aruod looked at his brother being humiliated with a gloomy face, and he could no longer help but push the crowd away and walk forward.

"My Count Lauziz My brother just drank too much. I hope you don't pursue this matter anymore. I apologize for my brother's recklessness." Arod lowered his head and bent down to bow to Earl Lauziz. Arod knew that his brother had fallen into Earl Lauziz's trap. If things were allowed to develop, then Ev would definitely die under the hands and feet of Ev. No, perhaps Ev. After Ev cut off Ev's hands and feet, he would personally cut Ev's life. Don't underestimate the cruelty and blood of the medieval nobles.

"Hmph, it was his duel invitation, and I have accepted it. How can I not start? The nobles around me are witnesses." Earl Lauziz twitched his big nose hard and showed a cruel smile. He would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He must leave something behind for this family that dared to despise him.

"Duke, please show your mercy and stop this duel." Sir Wendell would not let his son die in this unfair duel. He walked up to the Duke's table and knelt on one knee and petitioned the Duke.

But Duke Mason's face was numb and expressionless. He quickly made some interest considerations in his heart. In order to offend an unknown knight, he was not worthwhile in any way, so he decided not to interfere. Just as he was about to speak, Sir Eble walked behind him and leaned down in his ear and said.

"Father, they are my friends."

"Well." It was this simple sentence that changed the fate of the Wendell family. Duke Mason's eyes turned, then raised his arm and looked at Earl Lauzits.

"Duke." Earl Lauziz saw Duke Mason's movements and quickly stood up from his seat. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. All the nobles were waiting for the development of things. Suddenly, the sound of needles falling in the banquet hall was quiet.

"Viding is enough to end this farce. I still have some serious matters to talk to you later." Duke Mason called out Earl Lauziz's name and said to him with a majestic voice. Simple words echoed vigorously in the hall, and people bowed their heads wherever Duke Mason's eyes went, and this sentence was equivalent to stopping the duel farce between Earl Lauziz and Iff.

"Yes, yes, my noble Duke." Earl Lauziz immediately bowed respectfully, and stopped mentioning the duel. Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the nobles around him started to eat and drink again. Although they were not talking about the farce at the banquet, they could not help but guess each other that the inconspicuous knight family had any special connection with the Duke Mason family, and whispers rang from time to time in the banquet hall.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect my invitation to almost bring such disaster to you and your family." After this happened, the men of the Wendell family were bored about attending the banquet. They left the hall after saying goodbye to the Duke, and Sir Eble chased him to the gate and stood on the steps to apologize to Sir Wendell.

"No, Sir Eble, I am stupid, but I know that you have protected my sons many times. This is what the Wendell family remembers in my heart." Sir Wendell felt very disappointed. He has always been proud that he was the direct knight of Duke Mason and has fought for his life for his life. However, he and his family were worthless in the eyes of the Duke Mason in front of him, which made him feel extremely confused and helpless.

"Where, you are the knights who serve the Herman family for several generations, and our Herman family owes you." Sir Eble sighed and said with a very regretful tone. Although he helped the Wendell family at the beginning because of Arod's life-saving grace, as he gradually understood Sir Wendell and his family, he knew that this was an upright knight who was loyal to the Herman family, and his father completely ignored the hearts of people and the honor of knights purely from the interests. This was something he could not agree with, so he tried his best to appease Sir Wendell.

"Kang~~." Suddenly, without warning, If drew out his sword. His actions were surprising. General Relf, ​​who was closely following Sir Eble, immediately placed his hand on the hilt of his waist. He thought that because of the humiliation of Count Lauzits, Eble now made him lose his mind and attempted to be detrimental to Sir Eble.

"Sir Ebul please accept my sword." But Iv did not do anything to attack Sir Ebul. He knelt on one knee and held his sword with his hands, holding it in front of Sir Ebul, and said, "I, the heir of the Black Swamp Territory, the quasi-knight Iv, swears to God that he will present his sword and life to you Lord Ebul, and will be faithful to death. If you violate your oath, my soul will be in peace and your body will not be safe."

"What? What are you doing?" Sir Eble was shocked. Unexpectedly, Iv suddenly made a sworn act of allegiance, which was beyond his expectations and General Relf beside him.

"Please accept my sword too." Aruod looked at his brother's actions and suddenly realized that his family had offended the most powerful Earl of Lauzitz. Now only by seeking the first heir of Duke Mason can he save the family. So he also pulled out his sword with a loud voice, presented it with both hands and swearing allegiance.

"And mine." Sir Wendell saw the actions of his sons and knew that the only Sir Eble in front of him was the one who really wanted to help his family. Now he felt that it was a good choice to be loyal to Lord Eble, who was more just than Duke Mason.

"You are so embarrassing to me." Sir Eble's slender eyebrows frowned, and he supported Sir Wendell with both hands. The Knight, who was supposed to be loyal to his father, turned to swear to him. This kind of thing caught him off guard.

"Sir, since Sir Wendell and his sons are so sincere, then you accept it. Are you loyal to the Duke or loyal to you allegiance to the Hermans?" General Relf breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the people of the Wendell family were not malicious. The legend of the Double Rider Knight on the battlefield was still in his ears. It was a good thing that Sir Eble could get their service.
