Chapter 211: Agreement

Chapter 707: The Law

When the arrest warrant for the second prince was issued, people around him cried out in surprise. No matter how mature and prudent the vassal nobles present were, no matter how knowledgeable the foreign envoys were, and no matter how brave and fearless the escorts were, they all changed color after hearing the words:

Earl Noah Havia of Yanbi Port could not hide his shock, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor and live up to the family's reputation as the "Sun-shooting Bow". However, his 16-year-old eldest daughter beside him looked at Zhan En, covered her mouth with her hands, and turned pale;

Earl Chaoyanghua from Changqingdao, Bruce Xiukadel, looked at the Duke and the prince with a complicated look, and at the same time called his entourage to ask something;

Earl Aitchison Lacia of Marshland had a livid face, trembling all over, and muttering incessantly. If it weren't for his eldest son to stop him, I'm afraid he would say something that violated the noble demeanor;

Ka Rabbiyan's twins put away their folding fans and gathered together to discuss anxiously, but every time Kasa said something, Qina shook her head seriously;

The owner of the Sea Wolf Fleet had a ferocious look on his face. He pushed his mistress away roughly, dragged his first mate, and discussed something in a rage, and every sentence was filled with words such as "export", "departure", and "set sail";

Hassan, the chief envoy of the Terran Trade State, turned his eyes. He rubbed his upper brow bone without eyebrows and looked at the determined Thales, and his smile became more intriguing;

The blood clan guest of the feast, Councillor Yannick Hollier, waved his anxious servant to leave. He raised his head thoughtfully and looked sharply at the other end of the crowd - there, Li Corleone from the Kingdom of Night said nothing, but just looked at the desolate moon in the sky.

In the chaos of the flickering lights, only the old butler Ashford, who had seen many storms, had a calm expression. He held Hilly's arm tightly and stepped back, whispering something to prevent the emotional young lady from doing something that might be regretted. The shabby-dressed Knight Cassian stopped in front of them and helped the old butler protect his young lady.

People in the stands relayed the message, and soon the entire arena fell into chaos, even the Emerald Army was no exception.

"Calm down! Calm down! Reorganize!"

Seychelles Knight roared, scolding his subordinates who were in chaos behind him and even their formation was a little loose.

"But sir," an officer holding the Eternal Lamp spoke boldly, "but he said that it was the king's..."

Seychelles turned around and shouted:

"You didn't hear anything!"

The officer was a little dizzy from his roar and tightened the green helmet on his head: "Yes, of course, sir... but what should we do?"

"Guard your post!" Seychelles shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Captain, should we take action first?" The second officer was alert to the Star Lake Guards surrounding the prince, "in case they..."

"But they are all big shots from the capital..." Another officer was worried, "If we take action..."

"What if they attack us? Don't fight back?"

"Don't move without my order!" Seychelles tried his best to restrain his nervous and impulsive subordinates, and cast a look of help to Zhan En, "Don't forget where this is and who is paying you!"

But the tense and chaotic atmosphere affected not only the locals of Emerald City.

Miranda, who was at the forefront, cast a surprised and puzzled look at Thales. Rolf stared at the rows of green-hatted soldiers in front of him, his face was fierce, and his knees were slightly bent. Fortunately, Glover had anticipated it and grabbed his shoulders to prevent the mute from doing anything impulsive.

"Strange, look at the reaction of these cuckolds," D.D. in the Star Lake Guard felt the surging waves from all directions, feeling uneasy, "It feels like we have surrounded them."

"Your feeling is right," Paul said in a deep voice, he looked at the prince's quiet back, thoughtful.

"Your Highness."

Wya Caso came behind Thales and repeated the prince's order in disbelief:

"I'm sorry I need to confirm it again, but... you want us to arrest Duke Zhanen? Here? Now?"

He looked forward:

Behind Zhanen stood at least two teams of well-equipped emerald soldiers. They were well-trained. Although they were inevitably confused and panicked, they still stood closely, ready to rush up to protect the Duke at any time.

Wya turned around again:

Unconsciously, the emerald soldiers in green armor had surrounded them at the urging of their superiors, separating them from the other people, standing in rows, ready to fight, and Thales and the Star Lake Guard behind him were like isolated islands in the sea, enduring the waves from all directions.

Farther away, cuckolds filled almost every corner from the stands to the passages. There were archers equipped with crossbows on the high ground, and even cavalrymen riding on tall horses patrolled in awe. They scolded the crowd watching the excitement and cast strange and vigilant eyes at the Star Lake Guard.

At the front of the team, Thales did not answer Huaiya, nor did he express his dissatisfaction with the attendant's delay in giving orders.

He just stared at Zhan En across from him with all his heart.

The Duke of South Bank also looked back at him coldly.

"Everyone stay calm," Glover whispered. He kept an eye on the chaotic crowd around him, clenched his teeth, and tightened his nerves. "From now on, I will take over the command."

"But His Highness said that we should arrest the suspect," Nehi looked at the Duke of South Bank across from him eagerly, and drew his sword out of its sheath, "Or we..."

D.D's expression changed, and he grabbed his hand: "No!"

Across from them, a sharp-eyed officer saw Nehi's actions, and he shouted in fear:

"They are going to do it!"

His reaction alarmed other colleagues. Panic and hostility spread instantly, and the formation of the Emerald Legion fluctuated like a wave:

"defense!"

"Legion, protect the Duke!"

"Do we really want to do it?"

"Stand firm! Hold the front!"

"That's the king's son..."

"Self-defense doesn't count as treason, right?"

"Force them back!"

For a time, there were endless shouts of orders, arguments, screams, shouts of death, and even the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and the audience in the distance also screamed in surprise.

Everyone in the Star Lake Guards was shocked and formed a back-to-back formation. Facing the restless soldiers around them, they followed Huaiya and slowly approached the prince.

Thales frowned.

"I said hold on!"

Glover gritted his teeth, but he had no time to pursue Nixi's behavior, even though the latter had been stunned by the surging waves from all directions.

"Oops, everyone is holding weapons and is scared and nervous," Miranda said solemnly, "There is no easier time to blow up the camp than this."

"Sunset, I would rather break into the Fuxing Palace again..." D.D held Niexi down and looked at the crowded Emerald Legion, feeling a headache.

"real?"

"Then it's okay to talk about it..."

"Sunset, we shouldn't divide our forces," facing the dark enemy in his sight, Nixi reacted, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, "We should..."

"There are over a thousand of them, not counting the more peripheral armies. It will be useless if we are all here." Morgan said disdainfully.

“It’s not just a question of how many people there are.”

In the procession, Paul's eyes focused on the prince and the duke.

"His Highness said, in the 'name of the king'..."

All the guards were stunned.

“If we start a conflict with the Emerald Legion at this time, resulting in bloodshed and casualties, it will be far more than just a grudge between His Highness and the Duke...” Paul said solemnly, “The sparks we create when we swing our swords may ignite the entire kingdom. "

Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt their footsteps were extremely heavy. Nirvana looked at the hilt of his sword, his face pale.

"So, who will wield this first sword that will go down in history?" Paul turned around and looked at everyone in the team, "How are you, D.D?"

Doyle swallowed, released the hilt of the sword, and showed a gentle and humble smile.

"But the good news is," Miranda nodded, staring at the Seychelles knight who was shouting orders opposite her, "they don't dare either."

"Quiet!"

At this moment, Zhan En's voice rang out from the crowd, loud and high-pitched.

"Hold on! Back off!"

"Put your weapons away!"

"Are you in a hurry to die!"

"Stand your position!"

Led by Seychelles, the officers who were close to him reacted one after another. The Duke's order was conveyed layer by layer. After a few seconds, the restless crowd retreated under the scolding and restraint, and the noisy scene finally became quiet.

No one dared to get closer than three meters around the prince and duke, but the Star Lake Guards and Emerald Legion behind them naturally faced each other, looking for potential threats and possible opponents.

The two sides faced each other from a distance, becoming more and more distinct, and everyone's heart was in their throats.

Zhan was seen taking a deep breath and looking at Thales.

"You're not going to pretend anymore, are you?"

There was a long-lost relief in Zhan’s words:

"You finally couldn't help but reveal your true intentions and want to kill me?"

"You are just suspected, Zhan," Thales interrupted. "You have not been finally convicted of the above charges."

He glanced at Federico, who was pushed to the ground by the security officer.

"Yes," Zhan sneered repeatedly, "Not yet."

Feeling the other party's attitude, Thales frowned.

"Why, Thales, why?"

Xi Lai on the other side struggled to break away from the housekeeper's hand: "You promised me, you obviously have a better way! Remember, make a decision when the opportunity arises!"

Seeing Hilley, Thales couldn't help but feel sad.

"Don't you understand yet, Heeley?"

Zhan snorted coldly.

"He is here to destroy us, but he doesn't dare to admit it, and is even too cowardly to do it himself, so he has to find excuses to deceive himself."

Thales' breath was stagnant.

"I don't want to destroy anything, Zhan, as long as you—"

"That's it!" Zhan interrupted him loudly, full of sarcasm, "'Don't want to destroy anything' - you have been intoxicated in the fantasy of being a good person for too long, Thales!"

Thales trembled when he heard this.

Hilley's eyes wandered between his brother and Thales, back and forth, his expression blank.

"When will you take off your mask and wake up, admitting that you are not a saint," Zhan En sneered, "but just an ordinary person who pretends to hate blood and doesn't want to get his hands dirty or face the blood directly?"

The fantasy of being a good person…

Don't want to get my hands dirty...

Listening to the conversation, Thales felt his heart tremble.

[You walk on the top of the cliff, but you dream of the sky. 】

He took a deep breath and tried to push the king's words out of his mind.

It seems that that sentence is correct - but the voice in his heart quietly spoke - the person who knows you best is your enemy, Thales.

But the problem is...

You are really as fragile and hypocritical as he said...

Or can you do more? Dare to do more?

Thales clenched his fists and subconsciously covered Gortaxa through his pockets.

You have to do this, Tails.

You know you have to.

"Hold your hands, Zhan, take the initiative to cooperate, and I guarantee that you will get the treatment you deserve as a duke," the prince raised his head decisively and said in a loud voice, "No matter before, or... after."

Zhan's eyes grew colder.

"After," Xi Lai's expression changed: "After what?"

"What else," Zhan said sarcastically, "after I threw up my hands and surrendered, after he mercifully allowed the executioner to strike."

Thales frowned slightly.

"I tried, Heeley, I really did."

Thales turned to Zhan:

"But some people, some people just can't learn to step back and leave room."

Under the lights of the surrounding stands, Thales looked at Zhan as if he wanted to dig something out of his eyes:

"Unless someone forces him." He said coldly.

Use a sword.

"It seems we finally have a consensus." Zhan said sarcastically.

At this point, the two of them paused.

Xi Lai understood something. She looked here and then there, feeling extremely disappointed.

Steward Ashford sighed, and Knight Cassian beside him said something offensive and stopped the lost young lady from going back.

The sudden silence of the prince and duke made the crowd around them start to stir again, and people started talking.

Huaiya stood among the guards. He looked at Thales's back with complicated eyes.

"Jane Kevin Deere, the choice is up to you," Thales said softly, "Whether you retreat proactively or resist arrest..."

"An enemy of the kingdom?"

Zhan's eyes moved, he turned his head, looked at the nervous and anxious soldiers and the crowd, and smiled softly.

"On the contrary," he looked slightly coldly, nodded and whispered, "you are the enemy of the kingdom."

Thales was startled.

The next second, Zhan En looked solemn and spoke loudly:

"Your Highness Thales!"

He made his voice heard by all:

"I know you are unhappy with me just because I rejected your rude marriage invitation!"

As the words fell, Thales' expression suddenly changed.

The crowd was in an uproar, and then there was a buzz of discussion, and many people turned their attention to Xi Lai.

"Zhan, you bastard." Hilley's face was also livid. She looked at her brother in surprise and muttered to herself.

"However, this place is the Emerald City, the pearl of the capital of the South Bank Territory. It is one of the most important fiefdoms in the kingdom. It has always had laws and regulations. There is no need for a foreigner to step in and ignore the traditions of the fiefdom and the laws of the Emerald City." Zhan En said righteously, " Law enforcement and solving crimes on our land!”

Worse.

Thales frowned:

"However, as the city lord, you are under suspicion. Can the laws of Emerald City be upheld?"

"So what?" Zhan shouted.

The Duke of Nan'an spoke coldly, attracting everyone's attention:

"Your Highness Thales, you have not been crowned, you have no authority, and you have no orders. It is really inappropriate for you to overstep the rules and avenge private vengeance in the territory of a foreign minister!"

He changed the subject:

"As for the laws of the Emerald City, what does it have to do with outsiders?"

The people around him, especially the vassals, were talking louder and louder, and Thales felt bad.

"Indeed, if Your Highness has already convicted me, then you might as well submit to Your Majesty according to the rules and convene a high-level noble assembly, and the adults on the nineteen-stone seat will decide the merits and demerits of the Duke of Nan'an!"

The discussion in the crowd became more and more chaotic, and many people pointed at the two Dukes, excited and excited.

"Otherwise, in the land of Emerald City, if His Majesty himself wants to interfere in the internal affairs of the Iris family, he has to think twice and be cautious!"

Thales' eyelids twitched.

"Of course, if you insist on punishing me beyond your authority..."

Jenn stepped forward and raised his hands so everyone could see him

"Please remember, Your Highness, what you say is the voice of the royal family, and what you do is the act of the royal family. They will be conveyed to the entire kingdom, far beyond the corner of Yongxing City."

Zhan stopped in front of Thales, his eyes radiating cold light:

"Although the Emerald City is remote, it reaches all directions. Even though the iris is small, it will not be defeated by the enemy!"

He shook his sleeves and said solemnly and majesticly:

"Although Nan'an's daughter is soft and weak, her dignity is supreme, her freedom is priceless, and the weight of the royal family cannot be compromised!"

After the words fell, the vassals were the first to cheer and applaud, and many people echoed. Then the anger spread to the audience outside and in the stands. Among them, there were many people who were angry and shouted harsh words, especially the young Count Pintor. As a result, even the previously demoralized Jade Legion was aroused to be protective and angry. Many people banged their weapons to cheer and provoke the bewildered Star Lake Guards.

But at this moment, D.D chuckled in the team:

"Guys, do you know what's most important in this situation?"

"Little life?" Nixi replied hesitantly.

"It's momentum!"

D.D answered decisively, and the others couldn't help but look at him.

Doyle took a step forward, held his head high, and bared his teeth at the Emerald Sergeant who was provoking him from the opposite side: "Don't show your cowardice, raise your sword, keep a straight face, don't lose your momentum."

Morgan scoffed.

"I told you, there are at least a thousand of them, and there are only a few of us," Morgan said with a sneer, looking at the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, "Just having momentum is of no use?"

"That's why momentum is so useful," D.D breathed out, relaxed the sore facial muscles, and continued to put on a fierce expression, "because it's all we have left."

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

Paul couldn't help but glance at D.D with surprise.

"Indeed," the Xihuang people touched their bow arms, stepped forward with a horizontal bow, and assumed an exaggerated posture that was scary but impractical, making the soldiers who were confronting them fearful. "Indeed."

Facing the turbulent public sentiment, Thales only felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

"I remember you said that our affairs belong to us and we will never involve Xi Lai." He whispered to Zhan En with a gloomy expression.

The powerful Duke Iris was speechless.

He slowly turned his head: Xi Lai ignored the countless pairs of eyes directed at her, just stared at the ground and squeezed her gloves.

Zhan En's eyes dimmed.

"But she's right, Heeley has been involved a long time ago," Zhan took a deep breath, "Thanks to you and your father."

"I now understand how Sheila feels," Thales suddenly spoke, his voice cold, "Indeed, she deserves a better brother."

Zhan En's color suddenly changed.

His eyes looking at Thales became colder and colder.

"You know what the heck," Zhan En's speaking speed suddenly increased, "a bastard bastard whose last name was added later."

Thales sneered.

After Zhan finished speaking, his expression became serious again.

He took a step back and raised his voice:

"I believe you must be tired, Your Highness. Why don't you go back to the palace to rest under my escort?"

Zhan En's smile faded, and he lowered his voice and said the next sentence:

"Or are you going your own way, still insisting on arresting me, and wielding a sword that is against me and the kingdom?"

The Duke sneered:

"Now, it's your turn to choose, Thales."

Enemies of the Kingdom…

Thales was speechless for a long time.

He failed to force Zhane into submission.

Especially when he doesn't even care about his sister and can take advantage of her decisively.

What is he going to use to force Zhan back?

Like Zhan's own life?

A few seconds later, Thales took a deep breath, stepped back sideways, and held down the hilt of the warning man's sword!

Zhan En's expression changed, he snorted coldly, and also stepped back, holding down a dagger on his waist!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and many people exclaimed!

The Seychelles knight roared angrily, unsheathing his long sword. The tip of the sword did not dare to point directly at Thales, but pointed at the Star Lake Guards behind him:

"Who dares to move forward?"

Following Seychelles' movements, the sergeants in the first row around him unsheathed their weapons one after another, with a fierce momentum, and there was a vague tendency of encirclement.

The atmosphere became tense again, and the onlookers were talking incessantly, unable to hide their horror.

Facing so many enemies for the first time among the Star Lake Guards, Nixi looked pale:

"I, we are not moving forward?"

"Your Highness is moving forward," Glover, who had only one arm left to use, held the hilt of his sword and ordered decisively, "Guards, weapons!"

After giving the order, several members of the Star Lake Guards also drew their swords (Niexi was so frightened that he was a little slow, but still drew his swords at D.D's reminder), and faced off against the Emerald Legion!

"Damn, I thought I didn't need to fight just now..." Nixi's sword tip moved left and right, but there were more than one group of enemies in each direction, "But why did it start again all of a sudden?"

"The beginning?" Miranda stared at several officers in the legion warily, "No, it's not over at all."

"Hahaha, not bad," Morgan laughed at this moment. He rubbed the handle of his knife and looked at the group of strong sergeants in front of him with evil intentions, "I really miss this scene..."

"In that case, come on guys, put on your most disgusting faces," D.D gritted his teeth, his chest heaved and his expression was exaggerated, "Imagine the Wrath of the Kingdom standing behind you, fierce and reliable..."

"Then he will definitely chop you with an ax first and your ears will be clean." Morgan snorted disdainfully.

"No, are you really going to fight? According to what Master Paul just said," Niexi said nervously, "If I strike with my sword later, I might hit some big shot, ignite the kingdom, and trigger a war?"

Everyone's mood sank and their thoughts were confused.

In the tense atmosphere, the Star Lake Guards were worried due to the huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves. However, facing the Prince, the Emerald Legion on the opposite side was also nervous and hesitant.

Both sides have their own concerns and the situation is delicate.

"Can we make a quick decision and capture only the Duke?" D.D asked tentatively.

"From thousands of cuckolds?" Morgan asked doubtfully.

"And that Seychellois knight, and his slovenly friend." Nishi added uneasily.

D.D looked ugly.

"Try to hold back," Paul leaned on his back, a little disappointed in his words, "Try not to kill anyone, especially not to hurt the Duke, otherwise there will be no civil war..."

"If you start a fight with this idea, Master Bozdorf," Miranda said with stern eyes, "Believe me, we will definitely die."

Paul was startled.

"If, I mean if, a war breaks out, even if we only attack the Emerald City, how many people will die?"

D.D spoke quietly, making everyone stare.

"You don't know," Morgan said coldly, with a razor-sharp accent, "If a fight breaks out, we will die today, and we won't see the outbreak of war."

Morgan's words made everyone's hearts sink.

Hmph, Rolf disdains them in his heart, they are a bunch of cowards.

"You haven't seen the Wrath of the Kingdom, have you?" At this time, Huaiya, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "I mean, except for Ms. Allende and the mute?"

The topic was changed and everyone was stunned.

"Um, does the portrait count?" Nixi's face turned pale, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"I met him a few times when I was guarding the Ballard Room. To be honest, the short guy..." D.D rolled his eyes.

"Looking at it from a distance, it's very solid." Glover moved the tip of his sword vigilantly, aiming back and forth at the enemies at his angle.

"I heard my father say that it is easier to get along with than the Legend Wings." Paul turned around, his bow constantly moving, causing many Emerald Sergeants who were stopped in front of the crosshairs to subconsciously step back, "Why do you ask?"

Wyatt smiled.

"Because Alaka Mu, the Wrath of the Kingdom, the most feared Predator in the entire star..."

He took a deep breath. Facing the swarms of enemies, he no longer trembled nervously, but showed a relieved smile.

"He will never, ever, never stand behind his comrades."

Everyone was startled, but Huaiya had already strode forward and came to the front of the team, facing Zhan En's direction.

"Don't worry, if His Highness gives the order, if we really get to that point..."

Huaiya raised his single-edged sword and faced the layers of enemies with a determined look:

"I will wield the first sword."

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

Until D.D sighed:

"Damn it, Shuai let him pretend all by himself."

After a few seconds, everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Only Rolf was disdainful and snorted.

Will you wield the first sword?

Damn, it sounds like as long as you swing the sword alone, everyone else will be fine.

How hypocritical.

"concentrate!"

Glover pressed against Rolf's back, gritted his teeth and interrupted their exchange:

"Priority will be given to protecting His Highness later. Stand in good formation and don't expose any flaws!"

But they had already broken down everywhere.

Rolf thought coldly.

From the moment they arrived in the Emerald City.

But at this moment, Thales in front of them released the hilt of his sword and smiled.

"You are right, Zhan En, I cannot overstep my authority or interfere with the law enforcement of Emerald City!" the prince said loudly.

This statement surprised many people, and the noise of the discussion at the scene became quieter. Even the Star Lake Guards who were originally preparing to desperately capture Zhan looked at each other.

Zhan frowned slightly, seeming to be puzzled by Thales's submission.

"Very good," but the Duke reacted very quickly and immediately became cheerful, "I have already ordered people to hold a banquet in the palace. Since the election is over, why not..."

"Arbitration." Thales smiled and spread his hands.

"What?"

"I said, arbitration!" Thales shouted loudly.

Zhan's eyes changed.

"As far as I know, someone has accused you, Zhan." Thales turned around and faced everyone, "The nobleman of the kingdom, the son of the late Viscount Gonghai City, Sona Kelvindir, has the same surname as you. Federico Cavendier, accuses you of murder and parricide to seize the throne!”

"He is a disgrace to the Kevin Dill family. He should have changed his surname a long time ago," Zhan said with an unhappy expression, "And the Emerald City has its own laws..."

"And you deny the accusation!"

Thales ignored his words:

"You, the nobleman of the kingdom, the current guardian duke of the south coast, the lord of Emerald City, and the Iris family's Jenn Kelvindir deny the accusation, calling it a frame-up and false accusation, and you must pursue the accuser for the crimes he committed back then."

Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other, except for the shadow in Zhan En's eyes that was getting thicker and thicker.

"Since the two nobles have their own opinions and can't argue," Thales said confidently, "then I, the second prince and Duke of Star Lake, Thales Bright Star, as a detached and neutral third party, have to do something for me. The dispute between the two of you shall be subject to sacred arbitration!”

As soon as the words fell, a lot of discussion immediately broke out among the vassals.

"Arbitration?" Zhan reacted, his tone unsteady, "Who said that!"

Thales turned around and pointed to the crowd:

"He said so!"

Everyone turned their attention: Federico fell to the ground, and the several security officers guarding him looked panicked.

"If you don't believe it, drag Federico over now and ask him if he has filed a complaint and wants me to mediate between you two cousins!" Thales said loudly.

The discussion became louder and louder, and Federico burst into hearty laughter when he heard this:

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

A few seconds later, he was elbowed down by a bold security officer. He fell to the ground with a groan, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

Thales' eyes tightened and he shot at Zhan:

"Unless, of course, you don't want him to speak out and just want him to disappear - in front of me and the entire kingdom."

The crowd became commotion again, and the guards and vigilance officers who maintained order had to intensify their scolding and control.

Zhan En was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke:

"This is not only a matter of Emerald City, Your Highness, but also an internal matter of the Kevin Dill family. It cannot be arbitrated by outsiders..."

"This is the law written in the "Covenant of the Sacred Stars": No matter what crime he is responsible for, Federico is a noble of the kingdom, and he has the right to request arbitration from a higher-level noble."

Thales opened his arms and spoke clearly:

"Especially when the other person involved in the case is powerful, powerful and powerful, while the complainant is alone and has nowhere to find justice."

Zhan En remained calm, but couldn't help but look at the gloomy-looking Xi Lai.

"This has nothing to do with Emerald City, Zhan, or Kevin Dill, nor does it have anything to do with my personal grudges with you or with Heeley!"

Thales kept talking and his logic gradually increased:

"This is the day since the founding of Thomund, witnessed by the setting sun. According to the old laws of the empire, from the princes and nobles to the squires and knights, all the nobles of the Star Kingdom - and even in some cases, all the people - and life The inherent divine rights are laws established to protect the weak from oppression by the strong.”

He narrowed his eyes:

"You should know the truth better than I do, Lord Zhan. After all, you just served as a noble arbitration for a baron not long ago to prevent him from bullying the farmers in the territory."

Zhan En's expression changed slightly. He tried his best to maintain his demeanor and sneered:

"Arbitration, you? Why?"

"Because of my neutral status, I am fair and my status is high, not inferior to that of the Duke."

"Not inferior to the Duke? You are really good at arranging gold for yourself," Zhan En's eyes became colder and colder, "The Grand Duke of Thales is in charge of Star Lake Castle and has a fiefdom of one town and two villages."

Thales smiled slightly and ignored the other party's ridicule.

"However, the person involved in the case, no matter how high his status or power, must accept arbitration by a third party, and must not act for personal gain or abuse his power for any reason."

Thales took a step forward and met Zhan's eyes.

"Unless he is no longer bound by the Sacred Star Covenant," the prince said in a deep voice, "unless he abandons the Sunset Goddess, his ancestors as one of the thousands of vassals, the Renaissance King, and the Sunset Prophet Saint Mohasa , a sacred contract made in front of the statue.”

As Thales spoke, his eyes slowly moved to the Duke of South Bank, and his words were sharp:

"Unless he... is no longer a citizen of the Kingdom of Stars."
