Chapter 106 Duel(2/2)
Sarah's behavior.
Medusa deliberately smiled coquettishly, looked at Lei and said coquettishly: "General Lei, really, you make me feel so stable. Among so many generals on the front line, you are the only one who can lead me."
It gives me this feeling... Well, there is a kind of feeling. When I was a child, I would stay in my mother's arms on a thunderstorm day to avoid the terrible smell of thunder and lightning." Medusa was talking about her feelings about thunder,
But there was an invisible teasing smell that even Lei could hear.
Lomat stood far away at the corner of the ditch behind him, muttering in a low voice: "What does this woman want to do? Does she want to win over people? However, if the royal family wants to win over the eldest brother, His Majesty Shagru will directly give him
Just get married, why would a princess do this? Unless..." Lomart looked around carefully and found that everyone followed Medusa and walked away, with only groups of soldiers standing.
He didn't know what he was thinking in the trench. He sighed with relief, frowned and followed the team.
Along the way, the nobles of the condolence group had left everything to say hello to the soldiers, inquire about their welfare, and present souvenirs from the imperial capital. As for Medusa herself, she hugged Lei's arm tightly, charmingly
Laughing and talking, Medusa kept asking questions about Lei. From where Lei was born to what kind of women Lei likes, Medusa asked them all in the most etiquette and elegant way.
Lei answered Medusa's questions dryly, with a dry and boring voice. He had no interest in telling his background to this woman whom he did not appreciate. But in the eyes of others,
It seems that Lei has been so fascinated that he no longer has the ability to speak clearly.
Andrew watched the "intimate" conversation between Ray and Medusa, and the jealousy in his heart almost broke through his forehead. Although his father was just a marquis affiliated with His Royal Highness, Andrew thought that he had become a prince since he was a child.
The family's valet is 'hardworking and meritorious' to the prince's family, and is extremely 'close' to Medusa. What qualifications does a nouveau riche noble have to snatch away his 'own' princess? An unprovoked flame almost killed him
Andrew's chest was burned open. If he hadn't considered that his "identity and status" were indeed different from Lei's, and if he hadn't considered that his own strength was really no match for Lei, Andrew would have jumped up to challenge him.
Of course, the reason why Andrew doesn't challenge Lei is that he has no excuse to challenge Lei. He has no position and no reason to challenge Lei. He is the knight commander of the Prince of the Vante Empire, and Lei is the legion of the empire.
There is no resentment between the two, and there is no challenge at all. Using Medusa as an excuse? Andrew is not stupid enough to risk Medusa ordering him to be killed. What's more, in terms of status, he is not qualified to do it for Medusa.
And challenge thunder.
But the lovely Prince Iver next to him is different. His jealousy is even hotter than Andrew's. He thinks that his appearance is a hundred times more handsome than Lei's, and his wealth and status are a thousand times more noble than Lei's.
His own demeanor is ten thousand times more elegant than the rude Lei. Overall, he is the only person on the entire continent who is worthy of this charming princess, but what about Lei? Lei is just an ordinary, explosive person.
He is just an ordinary noble general. What qualifications does he have to compete with me for the favor of the princess?
There was a vicious look in Yvel's eyes, a look that wanted Lei to be chopped into pieces right in front of him. Yvel kept telling himself in his heart: "This man is really a disgrace to our nobles. The palace
He can't even dance, and his etiquette is a mess. Especially his rude conversation is an insult to His Highness Medusa. Why did he gain His Highness's favor? Oh, by the way, he must have used some dishonorable means to control His Highness.
The people around you have confused His Highness’ crystal-pure heart.”
"Look at the people around His Highness, those incompetent wastes, those damn things, they are all a group of villains who follow others. This rude barbarian must have bribed those villains to say good things about himself in front of the princess.
Only then did the princess think that this damn barbarian was a great hero. Oh my god, Princess Medusa actually said that he could make her feel safe? Oh my God, what is the truth? This damn guy shouldn't be there at all.
appear on this continent."
Yvel thought of a lot of things. He thought that if he got Medusa's favor, if he became Medusa's husband, then he would also have a relationship with the royal family of the Venter Empire. He was in the Dark Empire.
The momentum will soon become very big. At the same time, he can get a group of powerful knights from Medusa's family. As the entire continent knows, the knights of the Vante Empire are the most powerful on the continent. So,
His father's status in the empire will be improved, and becoming the heir to the throne will no longer be a luxury.
Ivel thought excitedly: "On the mainland, there are not a few people who have gained power in their own country because of their marriage to a princess or princess from another empire. In history, there have been many times when the alliance between the two countries has not been torn apart.
When we were split apart, many such things happened... This time, the seven countries have united together, as long as I can..." Ivel glanced at Medusa's twisted waist greedily, and continued to think
: "Then, I can get the support of the Vante Empire. That would be wonderful."
Lei Hou's thick voice came over, and Yvel's face suddenly became distorted: "But this barbarian, this uncivilized gorilla, what magic spell did he use to attract my goddess? I must...
.I must kill him and remove this obstacle. All people and things that hinder me must disappear from this continent."
Watching Medusa gently pinch Lei's arm affectionately, this subtle movement was not noticed by most people, but it fell in the eyes of Andrew, Ivel, Li and Lomat.
Andrew dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Li understood Lei's disgust for Medusa and did not care at all. Lomat carefully observed Medusa's every move, his eyes as clear as ice.
None of the three people had any reaction. But Yvel was different. After seeing this scene, Yvel was already on the verge of drawing his sword.
However, Medusa turned her head and asked with a sweet smile to Ivel: "Your Highness, what do you think? The snow scenery here is really extremely beautiful."
Yvel's head seemed to have been struck by thunder, as if he was under hypnosis and seemed to be the undead controlled by the necromancer. He didn't even know what he was doing. "It turns out that Your Highness the Princess is still She has a deep affection for me, and she is asking for my opinion...if not for that abominable beast."
Yvel strode over and hit Lei's back hard. Lei turned around in surprise and looked at the fanatical Yvel in a hysterical state. Just when Lei was about to ask, Yvel He had already taken off the white silk glove on his left hand, jumped up and struck Lei on the face. He blocked hundreds of nearby Guards soldiers, hundreds of generals from various countries and nobles of the Vante Empire. Ewell used the most serious means on the mainland to challenge Lei alone.
Everyone was stunned. For a moment, no one knew what to do. Medusa looked at Yvel's unusual behavior with a smile, her face full of pride. Before the generals around Yvel stopped him, Yvel Having successfully completed the challenge ceremony that symbolized a life-and-death duel, he threw the gloves heavily at Lei's feet, looked at Lei's face arrogantly, then spat heavily on Lei's leather boots, and pulled out the gloves. After holding his own sword, Ivel threw his long sword out and inserted it in front of Lei's toes. A very arrogant voice sounded: "If you are a man, fight me in a duel."
The consequences of a challenge of this level are only less serious than a family duel issued by the head of a big family to the head of another family. The consequence of a family duel is that all members of the losing noble family will be killed. Kill to death and outsiders have no right to interfere. As for Yvel's challenge, it symbolizes that two people have reached the point where they will fight to the death. One of them must fall down and sleep forever. If someone avoids such a challenge , then everything about him, including his noble title, all his official positions, his territory, and his property will be deposed and deprived of him by the country's noble house of elders. Some countries that even react more violently will completely Banish the person who avoids the challenge.
Lei, who has been trampled by more than a dozen etiquette teachers, naturally knows what such a challenge symbolizes. Lei frowned and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness Prince Yver, are you serious? There are thousands of people present. There are hundreds of soldiers in the Dark Empire, and there are many nobles with status among them, and they will bear witness to us."
Medusa said softly: "Oh my God, His Highness Yvel, why do you propose such a challenge? But, General Lei, since His Highness Yvel has already raised a challenge that cannot be avoided, then..."
As a person who has been insulted, if Lei avoids the challenge, his punishment will be more serious. Everything he has and his honor will be completely lost because he avoids this challenge. However, Lei knows very well that if he If you really kill Yvel, it will definitely trigger diplomatic intervention from the Dark Empire. No matter what the cause of the matter is, you will be under a lot of pressure in the end. If you just defeat Yvel, then as a challenger, Yvel also had to commit suicide, which was no different from killing him...
Gently caressing the left side of his face which was a little itchy from being slapped, Lei looked at Yvel, whose face was distorted, his complexion was ashen, and his eyes were bulging, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you must have suffered a crime.
The people have been harmed by evil magic. Come on, please send His Highness Ivel back to the Iron Castle and ask the generals of the Light Swordsmen to use the 'Demon-Breaking Holy Light' to expel those evil magics."
The people around him couldn't help but nod. This was Lei's best choice. He easily found an excuse to blame those damn necromancers for Yvel's disorder, so that everyone could go down the stairs. If Yvel wasn't an idiot,
If so, he should take this opportunity to pretend to be unconscious and fall down quickly, so that everyone's face can be saved and no one will pursue the matter. Even several deputy commanders of the Dark Empire have begun to consider it.
, how on earth are they going to use money to compensate for the insult suffered by Lei? They are fully aware that if this matter is spread, it will become a big joke of the Dark Empire, a prince who only has the second level of gold strength.
, provoking an ally general with extremely strong combat power because of jealousy will make the entire Dark Empire unable to hold its head high.
Look at the ill-intentioned eyes of the generals from the Smart Empire and other countries who came with the team. These generals from the Dark Empire wished that Yvel would faint as soon as possible. This prince, who was not stupid in the past, should know how to do it.
To deal with this serious incident, relying on Lei's identity and Shagru's favor for him, as well as Lei's own visible and invisible power in the Vante Empire, the likely consequences of this incident will be that after the war against the guilty people is over,
The Dark Empire directly became the target of the Vante Empire's attack.
Looking at the terrifying combat power of the Vant Empire after its secret expansion, no one is willing to face such an enemy.
And Yvel made a move that almost fainted the generals of the Dark Empire. He took off the glove on his right hand, jumped up and slapped Lei on the face. The crisp sound was clearly heard by the soldiers from far and near.
, the generals of the Dark Empire could even feel the ferocious looks in the eyes of the soldiers of the Vant Empire.
Yvel smiled strangely and said: "Come on, Lei, are you a man? Or are you a woman pretending to be a woman?" Looking at Medusa next to her with a slightly "encouraging" look, Yvel was proud.
He shouted loudly: "Or are you scared out of your wits by me, so scared that you changed from a man to a woman?"
Lei's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and Medusa said just right: "Oh my God, Your Highness Yvel, do you really want... Lei, you are the one I value..." Mei
Dusha closed her mouth. She pointed out Yvel's faults and her affection for Lei very well. She was confident that as long as Lei was not an idiot, he should understand what she meant. Although such intentions were false.
, but Medusa was confident that if such an expression was made to any other general, it would be enough to win him over to her.
Kalub and other Lei's trusted generals came up with extremely ugly expressions. They looked at Yvel as if they were bugs who didn't know whether to live or die.
Lei held the hilt of his sword, took a long breath, and whispered: "Then, as you wish, Your Highness, I accept your challenge...as the Legion Commander of the Fante Empire
, I am the symbol of the Mad Dragon Legion, and I cannot tolerate your insult to our legion... I don’t understand why you want to challenge me like this, but you have already done so, haven’t you? I will give you a
A satisfactory answer.”
In the absence of an allied commander with sufficient weight on the battlefield to mediate, the duel was a foregone conclusion.
Chapter completed!
