Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 90 Ciel's Shot
On the west side of Pella City, a convoy slowly arrived under Pella City from far and near.Enkata's plump face couldn't hide his excitement. He swung his whip and galloped the horse, and the black horse flashed towards the gate of the city like a bolt of lightning.

The guards at the door quickly stepped aside, the second prince's whip doesn't care who you are.Earl Rhonda followed.A group of people rode longitudinally in the city.

The male servants in front of the manor had already greeted them. The two male servants knelt on their knees and reached a human ladder. The second prince got off his horse, stepped on the human ladder, walked down, and walked into the manor swaggeringly.

"Did something happen in the city?"

The housekeeper in the manor replied respectfully.

"Your Highness, the Eldest Prince has arrived in the Royal City. Yesterday, Earl Declan Wayne held a banquet and invited the Eldest Prince to attend.

Baron Shire also arrived in the royal city and had a conflict with Earl Bram Little. He heard that Earl Bram had cheated a sum of gold coins from Baron Shire. "

"Bram is still the same, greedy and pretending to be vain. Someone should punish him. But this Baron Shire is not good. How can the person who bullied me be fine, not to mention he is still Andres guy's people."

The second prince Enkata strode towards the manor, followed carefully by the housekeeper, and he continued, "Is the food ready for noon?"

"Your Highness, I've been ready for a long time, and I'm waiting for you to come."

"Oh, everything."

"Pork stewed ham, fresh fish soup, grilled fish, white bread, and your favorite turtle broth."

"Hmm." The second prince Enkata looked at Earl Rhonda who was at the side.This is a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a simple tuxedo, breeches, and boots.If it weren't for this suit, he would be inconspicuous in the crowd.

"Your Highness, I'm not hungry yet. I wonder if I can visit my eldest daughter."

"Okay, you go. Julia misses you very much recently. Last time I came back to visit my father, I kept talking about you." The eldest prince said nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Earl Rhonda walked into the hall, and Julia threw herself into Earl Rhonda's arms weakly.

"Father!"

Earl Rhonda gently stroked Julia's hair, his face full of love. "Julia, don't be sad, everything will be fine."

"That's my only child, why did he disappear?" Julia's weak face was full of tears.

Earl Rhonda gently embraced Julia with his hands, but his heart sank. He has been investigating all these years, and now he has found the head of the eldest prince.

Earl Rhonda asked himself, do you want to back down?The Comilla family motto is prudence, prudence.But watching the only daughter shed tears all day long, I felt very unwilling.

Today, Earl Declan Wayne hosted Andres again. Unlike last time, Charles was also invited this time.

Earl Declan Wayne publicly announced more than once at the banquet that the inheritance of the title should be the eldest son's succession.

At the banquet, Earl Declan Wayne looked at the guests in the hall and began to point out Jiang Shan.

"The inheritance of the throne should be the eldest son's succession. In history, the Principality of Artem has faced life and death crises more than once, and each crisis was caused by princes fighting for the title.

The battle for the throne between His Majesty Martin Aquinax and Corey Aquinax almost led to the split of the Duchy of Artem. Although His Majesty Martin eventually regained the throne, Corey Aquinax's conspiracy greatly damaged the The strength of the Principality of Artem.

For more than ten years since then, the Principality of Sukale has been invading eastward, and the Principality of Artem was unable to resist, and eventually lost a large area of ​​territory.So the throne must be inherited by the eldest son.In this way, the strength of the Principality of Tatum will not be damaged. "

As soon as Earl Declan Wayne finished speaking, thunderous applause rang out.Except for those who supported the primogeniture in the hall, the rest were supporters of the eldest prince.But those who support primogeniture are naturally supporters of the Grand Prince, so this banquet is also equivalent to a gathering of the Grand Prince's allies.

Being an ally of the Grand Prince does not mean being a friend of Shire. On the contrary, many people at the banquet hated Shire.

"Have you heard?" A nobleman in white stockings seemed to have something precious to share.

"That's true." Another nobleman with a top hat on his head secretly glanced at Charles, and subconsciously took a few steps away.

With the help of people with good intentions, the banquet gradually became noisy, and Charles found that there was no one around him at some point.

Earl Declan saw that something was obviously wrong with the banquet, so he called his valet and asked a few words in a low voice.After learning about the specific situation, Earl Declan announced.

"The virtue of a nobleman is kindness and honesty. Don't talk about things that are made out of nothing, especially things that involve framing. If anyone says something at a banquet, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

"Yes, Lord Count!"

The more it is forbidden, the more curiosity will be aroused. If everyone says it, then everyone doesn't say it. After a while, rumors about Shire spread throughout the banquet.

This became even more obvious, and Charles realized that it was about himself. Fortunately, he was at a corner of the banquet, and there were few people, so it wasn't too embarrassing.But at the banquet, Charles only knew the eldest prince, not everyone else.He can't rush up and ask, what are you guys talking about about me?

Is it the second prince or Earl Bram? Charles was thinking secretly in his heart. Earl Declan seemed to be thinking of him, but in fact he was roasting him on the fire. Now more people are interested in this matter. Interested.

Fortunately, this embarrassing situation didn't last long. Fina pulled Kitty away from the group of ladies and came to Charles' side.

"This is my sister, Kitty Aquinax." Fina looked at Charles with a smile
"Hello, Mrs. Kitty, I'm Charles Iris." Charles was wearing an evening dress, looking elegant and heroic at the same time.

Kitty smiled lightly, her lake-blue peach eyes were watery, and she stretched out her slender hands wearing white lace gloves. "Hello, Baron Charles." After saying that, she bowed slightly, and a pair of jade rabbits seemed to be about to break free and jump out.

Charles stretched out his right hand tactfully, Kitty's hand was really too small, and Charles' big hand almost covered it.

At this time, the candlelight dimmed, soft, gentle music sounded, and Earl Bram announced: "Gentlemen and ladies, the ball begins."

Fina suggested with a smile and a pair of deep and charming eyes: "You two meet for the first time, there is no better way to get to know each other than dancing."

Kitty said shyly, "Fina! You...you..."

However, Fina gave Charles a meaningful look, then stretched out her hands, holding them firmly together, then walked behind Kitty, and gently pushed her.

Fina had already cultivated her battle qi, and her strength increased a lot. Even though she pushed slightly, the frail Kitty slipped and rushed forward.Charles stretched out his hand to fish it out, and then with all his strength, he gently held Kitty into his arms.Charlton felt very soft in front of his chest.

"Miss Kitty, I am very sorry."

There was a gust of heat coming from Kitty's hair, and Kitty felt her face was hot.She said softly: "It's all right." Then in the dim candlelight, she looked at Charles' face. Looking from below, Charles's face was as clear as a sculpture, and his angular face was very heroic.

Kitty's fair and slender fingers, with smooth fingertips, sneaked down on Charles' chest. This steel-like chest gave her a great sense of security.This is the second person who gave him such a feeling besides his father.

Kitty couldn't help but think of when Shire protected their sisters in front of the city gate. For Kitty whose family was ruined, this sense of security was like poison, not to mention that Fina always talked about Shire when she was with her. That's good, it made her night...

Charles looked down, and at some point, Kitty's delicate and pretty face like a flower was already pressed against Charles' chest.Urged by Fina with a smile, Charles gently held Kitty's hand and walked towards the dance floor.

After the banquet was over, and after returning to the manor, the eldest prince Andres talked to Charles about what people talked about at the banquet just now.The eldest prince's chubby face trembled, looking very happy.But Charles was already immune, because his heart was pounding now.

After listening to the eldest prince's narration, Charles' face became gloomy. Although this rumor is groundless, if the king really cares about it, then his title will be really hard to say.Throughout the ages, countless talents have inevitably embarked on the path of pursuing longevity. The greater the power, the more powerful the power, but the more afraid of death when they grow old.

Although the current king can't be called a hero, he is still a generation of heroes, but now he is old, and he fainted once a few days ago. The old king's life span is coming to an end.It depends on whether the old king's reason can suppress the fear of death, no matter who it is.

Charles returned to the room with a heavy heart. Seeing that Charles looked ugly, Fina naturally had no idea of ​​joking and had nothing to say all night.

In the early morning, the golden sun shone on the city of Pella. The third prince Xavier, Count Violet, and Count Geithner finally arrived at the royal city.Xavier with a smirk on his face looked at Earl Violet and Earl Geithner. "finally reached."

"Yeah, it's finally here."

Walking into the city and heading north along the avenue, he planned to pay his respects to His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen before returning to the manor.

There was a noise from Tiram Square, and the crowd inside and outside circled three times.Xavier squeezed into the crowd out of curiosity. The people who were squeezed away looked back with a fierce face, but when they saw that it was the third prince, they quickly put on a flattering smile and stepped aside.After walking a few steps casually, the third prince easily reached the front row.

"Who is that person opposite Baron Carlo, I haven't seen him before."

Earl Violet also came to the front row at this time and said, "Your Highness, he is Baron Charles."

While speaking, Earl Violet was full of resentment. Shire's birth was more than that. If Earl Tulip was defeated and Baron Sakura occupied Tulip City, Earl Rhonda would be able to take advantage of the trend to invade the east. Together, it means that the power of the second prince has been greatly strengthened.

"Oh, so he is the famous Baron Shire." The third prince Xavier replied.

Charles stared at the goldsmith, without anger, and asked, "Why did the hairpin I designed and ordered end up in his hands?"

The goldsmith thumped and sat on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Master, I can't help it. The Baron Carlo rushed into the shop with a group of people and forcibly bought this hairpin from me. I don't want to. beat me up."

Charles looked at Baron Carlos and asked, "Baron Carlos, I don't know what you mean."

Carlo's face was pale, and there was still a smear of red on his lips. He replied proudly: "You ominous person, after you were born, your mother died of dystocia. After you became an adult, your father was attacked and killed by robbers. Your successor After the baron, Earl Keith died because of you. If I were you, I wouldn't ask His Majesty the king for the title.

You must know that His Majesty the King has sacrificed everything for the Principality of Artem, why do you..."

"I ask you, what are you doing with my hairpin?"

"Oh. This is what you mean. I want to see what kind of aesthetics the savages in the north have. Now it seems that it is just a joke." Carlo played with the hairpin in his hand, looking nonchalant.

Charles looked at the goldsmith, "How much did he give you?"

"Sir, he threw me a coin."

"For something like yours, even a silver coin is too much for me to give you."

Charles waved his hand, and the servants beside him rushed to him. Charles took out ten gold coins, threw them in front of Carlo, and said as alms, "Good boy, get out of here quickly after taking these few gold coins."

He wouldn't be angry if Charles yelled at him in a fit of rage, but he was angered by the look of dismissing a beggar as if nothing had happened.

"Oh. Just because you are a beggar from the north, you dare to give me alms." Carlo waved his hand, called a servant, threw down a few white gold coins, and the gold coins rolled to Charles' feet.

"Do you know, these are the taxes you paid, and this is a charity given to you by the master. Hahaha."

The crowd also laughed, especially the third prince applauded loudly.

Earl Violet also smiled and said, "This Charles is young and has no manners at all."

"Cowardly! Cowardly!" Under the leadership of caring people, the crowd shouted.

Carlo regained his confidence, looked at Charles, and said with disdain: "I heard that your wife is very beautiful, so I will give it to her personally, but I will not give her such a junk." With a press of the right hand, the golden hairpin snapped in two.

"Charles' wife is so beautiful, so beautiful." The people arranged by the Ritter family shouted again in the crowd.

Carlo was full of confidence this time. He looked at Charles, thinking that Charles would become angry, angry, or embarrassing.Unexpectedly, Charles laughed.

"Why do people always want to seek death?" Charles raised the long sword he carried with him.His dou qi had been tempered completely, and with a kick of his right foot, he flew out directly with the help of the reaction force.

Carlo saw a flash of cold light, and closed his eyes involuntarily.Hey, why didn't I feel it, this Baron Shire is just a wimp, so he didn't dare to do it.Hey, why is my body behind me, and then my eyes went black.Carlo's body also knelt down weakly.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and the third prince also froze in place. He opened his mouth wide and stared straight ahead.

Baron Carlo revealed on the street that he embezzled tax money, and what he said was almost exactly the same as the rumors last night. Whether he was a hearsay or a rumor spreader, he deserved to die.
