Chapter 751: Xudafelt's Pledge of Allegiance

The Governor's Mansion welcomed a special guest. The woman dressed up in a gorgeous outfit came to Yang Hui's study under the leadership of Duke Hudafelt.

"Duke Hudafelt, who is this?"

"This is the biological mother of Hongyue Naoto, His Highness Yang Hui."

The woman looked at Yang Hui with some fear, and quickly lowered her head and dared not look at him.

"Well..." Yang Hui thought for a while, and said to Regeni Regetta who was standing beside him: "Take her to the lounge next door, call Naoto, and let them wait for me on the side."

"Yes, your highness."

In fear, Hongyue Naoto's mother left the study under the leadership of Regeni Regetta, leaving only Yang Hui and Duke Hudafelt.

"Is this a token of allegiance? Duke Hudafelt." Yang Hui asked calmly.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Hehe." Yang Hui smiled coldly and looked at Duke Hudafelt with interest.

Duke Hudafelt was frightened by Yang Hui's eyes and broke into a cold sweat. The terrible experience during the day kept impacting his rationality. Yang Hui's meaning was very clear. He did not intend to let go of what they did, and his pledge of allegiance was not enough.

"Your Highness, I can help you convince other nobles and lead them to support you in controlling [ELEVEN]."

"That's not necessary, Duke Hudafelt." Yang Hui stood up, walked to Duke Hudafelt, and asked him calmly, "Do you know the Six Families of Kyoto?"

"Know...know..."

"The last time you contacted them...you contacted local officials, right?"

"How do you know..." Duke Hudafelt looked at Yang Hui with horror.

"Have you contacted them since then?"

"No...no, I heard from others that they...they were all dismissed and investigated."

"Have you heard the reason?"

"No..."

"Have the Six Families of Kyoto contacted them?"

"No...no...I just helped them contact the mainland once, and then I cut off contact, and then that incident happened."

"Really?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please believe me first, I don't have much connection with them, I just have normal business dealings with the Six Families of Kyoto. You know, although the concession has a high status in [ELEVEN], all the business activities were controlled by the Six Families of Kyoto before. If you want to successfully take root in [ELEVEN], you must contact them at that time, so..."

"So you united a large number of nobles to form a...union? The Six Families of Kyoto also have seats in this union?"

"Yes, Your Highness, but this is just normal business behavior..."

"Then take a look at this, and talk about it after you finish reading it." As soon as the voice fell, Yang Hui threw a document to Duke Hugh Dafelt.

Duke Hudafelt quickly took the document and started to look through it.

"This!" Duke Hudafelt couldn't believe his eyes and looked at Yang Hui in disbelief, "Your Highness! This... is this true?"

"It was found in the secret vault of the six families in Kyoto. The detailed information about those people was handed over not long ago. It's fresh out of the oven."

"But... how dare they!? This is treason!"

"So, Duke Hudafelt, you should be careful when making friends." Yang Hui patted him on the shoulder and said to him earnestly.

"Your Highness! This is just their personal behavior. I don't know anything about it, Your Highness!" Now Duke Hudafelt no longer wants to look at the relationship between himself and Yang Hui. He just wants to clear his relationship with certain people.

The information recorded in the document, the things those people did, any one of them is enough to meet the standard of treason. If he is implicated, even if he is one of the eight famous families, he will only be destroyed. Bunitallia has zero tolerance for treason!

"I know." Yang Hui walked aside, poured himself a cup of black tea, and took a sip. "If you knew, your name would also appear in the document in your hand."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

"So... you know what to do, right?"

"Your Highness means..."

"Rakshata and Lloyd have been asking me for research funds all day long, and they have used up all their efforts, but I am also in a difficult situation. My personal assets have long been spent by them. Even a mouse would cry when seeing them. It's not just me. My sister and Clovis don't have much money, so..."

"I understand, Your Highness, I will present it to you..."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Duke Xudafelt." Yang Hui shook his head and interrupted Duke Xudafelt, "Professional matters should be left to professionals. You are one of the eight famous families in Bunitaliyah. You can't ruin your reputation, otherwise the reputation of the empire will also be damaged."

"This..." Duke Xudafelt thought about it and understood what he should do, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I know what to do."

"Well, very good, sit down." Hearing this, Yang Hui nodded with satisfaction, sat on the sofa for rest, and pointed to the empty sofa next to him.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

...

In the lounge next door, the woman was restless and full of anxiety. Duke Hudafelt dressed her up very beautifully, but then brought her to the Governor's Mansion and handed her over to Yang Hui, which made her think of a bad thing. At the same time, because the Duke told her that his son worked under Yang Hui, she began to worry about her son again.

That was her belief in survival. Why did Yang Hui take a fancy to her son who worked under the legendary [Nightmare]? Is he living a good life? Has he been bullied?

These questions lingered in her mind.

Until...

"Knock knock~"

"Come in."

"Lord Regetta, you called me here so late...Mom! Why are you here!?" The moment Hongyue Naoto saw his mother, he was stunned. Moreover, she was dressed so beautifully. The dress and jewelry she wore were what their family could not afford in their lifetime.

"Naoto! Are you okay?" She hadn't seen Hongyue Naoto for a few days. Although Hongyue Naoto had been telling her on the phone that he was working and might not go home for a short time, she was still very worried.

"I'm fine, mom." Hongyue Naoto shook his head. After joining the [Nightmare] Knights, he was sent to the Rookie Camp and trained with the new members of the Knights. At first, some people looked down on him, but not because of his [ELEVEN] identity, but because he looked a little thin. In training again and again, Hongyue Naoto also proved himself with his actions and gained recognition and respect from others.

"That's good, that's good..."

"But mom, why are you here?" Hongyue Naoto asked anxiously.

"I... I don't know." The woman lowered her head. She didn't know if her guess was correct. Moreover, she saw that Hongyue Naoto was wearing very clean clothes, and he was stronger and more energetic than before. She felt that her guess might not be correct, so she didn't say it.

"Master Regeta, what's going on?" Hongyue Naoto couldn't get the answer from his mother, so he turned around and asked Regeni Regeta.

"Be patient." Regni Rejeta kept a standard smile to comfort Hongyue Naoto, "Wait here for a while, His Highness will come later. If you have any questions, you can ask His Highness directly."

"Oh, okay, I know."

Time passed by minute by minute, and the three of them waited with different feelings. Not long after, Yang Hui pushed the door open.

"Your Highness." Regni Rejeta and Hongyue Naoto saluted Yang Hui. The woman was a little flustered and followed Hongyue Naoto's example. As a result...

"Pfft~ Madam, don't be so nervous." Yang Hui couldn't help laughing to ease the woman's nervousness, "Naoto performed the knight's salute, you are not my knight, so you don't need to perform the knight's salute."

"Ah? Yes... I'm sorry, Your Highness, I... I..."

"I said, don't be so nervous, Madam." Yang Hui looked at the woman who was at a loss and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes... yes, Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, may I ask what's going on with you? Why is your mother here? And..."

"You are my reserve knight, so naturally your family's treatment will be improved." Yang Hui sat across from them leisurely and explained to them, "Originally, I planned to pick up my wife in person in a few days, but I didn't expect Duke Hughdafield to send his wife here tonight."

"Is that so." Red Man Naoto suddenly realized that he had heard it more than once after training. Yang Hui was very protective of his own people, even those whose names he didn't remember. The treatment of the [Nightmare] Knights was definitely the best among all the existing knights, even the Knights of the Round Table couldn't compare.

"Well, so Madam, you don't have to be nervous."

"Thank... Thank you, Your Highness."

"Well, Naoto is my apprentice knight, and he is growing very fast. It will probably be promoted to a formal knight in a short time. As Naoto's mother, you naturally can't continue to be a maid in the Hudafelt family. I have prepared a new house for you. You can live there in the future, and the knight's family also enjoys generous treatment and doesn't have to worry about life anymore."

"Your Highness... But... But I... I still hope to continue working in the Hudafelt family..." The woman said in a panic, but in the panic there was an unshakable firmness.

"Mother! Why!?" Hongyue Naoto didn't understand. The previous job was just for the livelihood of the family. Now that he didn't have to worry about life anymore, why did he insist on being a servant in the noble family?

"This..."

"... It seems that you haven't told Naoto yet." Yang Hui sighed when he saw this. Hongyue Naoto probably didn't know that he had a half-sister.

"Yes... Yes." The woman lowered her head and replied, her voice was very low, and she didn't dare to look at Hongyue Naoto.

"Mom? What are you hiding from me?" Naoto Kozuki asked.

"This..."

"Madam, I personally think Naoto has the right to know."

"..." The woman hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Naoto Kozuki, "Naoto, you have a sister, her name is Kallen, Kallen Hudafelt."

"Huh? Huh!?!?!?"
