Chapter 684: A Family of Knights

"Your Highness, you forgot, didn't I just tell you about this yesterday?" Malina reminded. read.

"Yesterday? No wonder I also have a little memory, but..." Anthony touched his head, "To be honest, I don't remember."

"Who is this Romerig?" Li Huailin asked.

"He is a new star knight who has been in the limelight recently. He is from the Rensard family. He has been a mercenary and has traveled all over the mainland. He has just returned to China." Marina introduced.

"Oh... oh... I remembered, it's this person." Anthony's memory also came back at this time, "The Rensard family is that famous knight, right?"

"Knight?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, the Lunsard family has the blood of very good fighters. Basically, every generation can produce a very good fighter. What's more special is that this family has never been entrusted with nobles since its establishment. They will also be rejected by them, I heard that their family training is to be a loyal knight, so they are also called knights." Anthony said.

"Oh? There is such a clean and honest family." Li Huailin said.

"All generations of the Rensard family served as court knights in the palace, but the previous generation's patriarch, Miel Rensard, died in the orc war more than a year ago, and the new generation of patriarchs has not yet been decided. I really want to be discussing it all the time," Marina said.

"Your Highness, I also know something about this matter." The guard knight Delnate standing beside said suddenly.

"Oh? You know? That's right. You are the current knight commander. You should know a little about knights." Anthony nodded, "What's going on? Tell me."

"After the last head of the Rensard family, Mier, passed away, there were a total of ten candidates who could inherit the position of the family governor. Four of them were Mier's elder brother and younger brother who were of the same generation as Mier. Nine were them For the next generation, Mier himself has no heirs, but he has adopted two sons, and this Romerig Rensard is one of them." Delnate said.

"Nursing?" Anthony here was a little surprised when he heard about this for the first time.

"Yes, Romerig should be an orphan adopted by Miel since he was a child. I don't know the specific origin. It was a war at the time, so there were a lot of orphans, so it was very difficult to verify." Delnate said, "But it can be done. What is certain is that Romerig's martial arts talent is really amazing. At the age of 9, because of his amazing talent, he entered the palace to learn swordsmanship and etiquette with the emperor at that time, and served as the emperor's guard knight,

When he was 16 years old, he went abroad to travel, and soon broke into a world. And known as the "Storm Rider Romerig". "

"Storm Knight Romerig? Sounds like this?" Li Huailin said.

"That's right, unlike the thunder-attribute vindictive talent possessed by the Rensard family, what Romerig awakens is the wind-attribute vindictiveness. Relying on his own talent, Romerig is also very famous in the mainland mercenary circle. Ternate said, "It is said that Mier is very satisfied with this adoption, and has said many times that Romerig is his heir. But more than a year ago, Mier was honored in the battle against the orcs. Died in battle. But I didn't have time to leave a formal will, appointing a family governor..."

"Understood. Because Romerig is a foster relationship, so the family does not agree with him inheriting the position of family governor, right?" Li Huailin said here.

"Yes." Delnate nodded, "The elders of the Rensard family said that if there is another bloodline of the family, the house governor should choose one of the bloodlines of the family, but Mier's reputation in the family is still very high Yes, as a result, some family members agreed to follow Mier's last wish. Romerig will succeed the family governor. The politics between the two sides has been going on for almost a year now, and the family governor of the Rensard family has not yet officially successor."

"It's understandable..." Anthony here nodded, "If it were me, I'd be more inclined to choose the blood of my own family to inherit the position of House Governor. What about Romerig himself. Would you like to inherit the position of House Governor?"

"I don't know about this, but after Miel's death a year ago, Romerig returned to the country once, but soon left the empire again. I heard that he continued to work as a mercenary, and he didn't come back until recently." Delnate replied road.

"Oh? Why did you choose to come back at this time?" Anthony asked.

"Because the result of the house governor will come out soon." Li Huailin next to him said suddenly, "Is it?"

"Yes..." Delnate nodded, "According to rumors, the Rensard family decided to elect their family governor at this knight competition."

"That is to say, it is based on strength in the end? Romerig's return this time means that he wants to participate in this competition?" Anthony said.

"Knight Tournament?" Li Huailin was taken aback, having just heard from Reg.

"Don't the Duke know? Every year..."

"I know, I know, there is no need to explain." Seeing that Delnate wanted to introduce himself, Li Huailin quickly stopped him, "In fact, my knight just suggested that I go to this conference to find some more capable fighters." As a knight, the time is tomorrow, right?"

"Oh, that's right." Delnate nodded, "The Duke must hurry up, because His Highness also wants to see if there is any talent available to expand our court knights."

"Are you going too?" Li Hualin suddenly frowned.

"Yeah." Anthony nodded, "I also want to see what's going on."

"Generally speaking, will the king participate in this competition?" Li Huailin asked.

"Oh? There is no rule, but, you also know that the former king Rein is a martial idiot. Basically, he will participate in watching every knight competition. It’s the first cavalier tournament, so I thought it’s better to go and see it.” Anthony said.

"Is it the other party's idea?" Li Huailin said holding up the letter.

"So..." Marina next to him immediately said, "The purpose of the other party's letter to Romerig is to ascertain that Your Highness, you will go to the Knights Tournament, and after you arrive, the person who will present the final championship award must be Your Highness, at that time, Romerig, who is powerful and likely to win the championship, will have the opportunity to approach you..."

"Assassination?" Delnate here immediately received it.

"It's possible." Li Huailin also nodded, "Anthony does not have an heir to the throne now, which means that the foundation of the empire is not very stable now. If something happens to Anthony himself, even if the former royal family is restored, it will not cause trouble. Any opposition from the public, or in other words, should be a very smooth thing."

"I really don't have any brothers, the only blood is my sister, she can't inherit the throne..." Anthony also nodded, "I have been dealing with things after the founding of the country and I didn't notice this, this is indeed very Deadly thing."

"Your Highness, you should not go to tomorrow's tournament." Delnate said immediately.

"Don't go?" Anthony thought for a while, "This is the first knightly competition after the establishment of the new empire. If I don't participate, the knight class may have a very bad impression of me..."

"Well... In this case, if the knight class thinks that the new emperor doesn't value them, it will be very detrimental to the development of the empire if they think that the new emperor doesn't value them." Marina next to her said.

"However, His Highness's safety is the most important thing. I think it's enough to make a statement expressing support for the knight competition, and there is no need to visit the scene in person." As the guard knight, Delnate naturally puts Anthony's safety first. He doesn't care about other political factors.

"That's... rash." Marina said.

"Yeah." Anthony also nodded, "It's just a statement or something. It's possible to be considered as dealing with them. It doesn't matter. I think even if this Romerig wants to assassinate me, he should first look at his own. Whether the strength is enough or not, I am not afraid at all."

"Your Highness, this is really dangerous, I object." Delnate said immediately.

"I also object." Empress Marina also said immediately, "Your life now not only belongs to you personally, for the sake of this new empire, you must also stay away from danger. This is not the time to fight fiercely. Your current status is The king of the empire, so please don't say things that don't fit your status lightly."

Anthony was slightly startled, then thought for a while, and nodded: "Queen, what you said is reasonable. I was wrong. It is true that this is not what an emperor should say. This is my fault."

"Your Highness, you just need to understand." Marina smiled and said, "What Your Highness said is also reasonable. Making a statement may arouse the resentment of the knight class, thinking that His Highness despises them, but the concubine has a way."

"Oh? What can the queen do?" Anthony asked.

"Didn't the Duke of Aquitaine say that he would go to the Knight Tournament tomorrow to see what's going on? With the current status of the Duke of Aquitaine, it shouldn't be a problem to attend on behalf of His Royal Highness, right? Well, won't the Duke of Aquitaine attend instead of His Royal Highness to solve this problem?" Marina looked at Li Huailin and said.

"Oh?" Anthony was taken aback, "Well, isn't this Wylin very dangerous?"

"How could it be? The target of the opponent is you, Your Highness. What danger is there for the Duke of Aquitaine?" Marina said immediately. (To be continued..)
