Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 96 Ciel's Awakening

The night fell to the ground, the hall of the second prince's manor was brightly lit, with flags fluttering in the wind, guests coming and going, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

In the hall, there are aristocratic lords in black dresses, noble ladies in gorgeous evening gowns, courtesans with deep v necklines, and innocent noble ladies.

The second prince Enkata's plump body was covered in a tight tuxedo, and he looked a bit nondescript. He raised his glass and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, to the beautiful night, to the great king."

The guests at the banquet raised their wine glasses one after another, greeted the second prince, and drank together.You must know that these guests supported the grand prince at the banquet held by the diplomat Earl Declan not long ago, but this does not prevent them from attending the banquet held by the grand prince tonight. The nobles in the royal city are always the winners in crowds.

The second prince was surrounded by Earl Rhonda, Earl Bram the tax collector, the eldest son of the diplomat Earl Declan, and the eldest son of the political officer Earl Habib Bolton.

The second prince smiled and said, "Earl Shire has finally received the punishment he deserved. Mr. Earl Bram, when are you going to go to Tulipland to take over your land?"

Earl Bram looked at Enkata, and said sadly and helplessly: "If I had a choice, I would rather not have these lands. I just want Earl Shire to pay for my son's life. You know, I only have this son, Nothing is more precious than my son's life."

There are no descendants, so what if you have land? Although Bram has many illegitimate children, you can tell with your feet that the Ritter family will never allow illegitimate children to inherit this territory. This territory will be in Bram The Earl passed to the Little family after his death.

The second prince Nkata continued: "Please don't be sad, Earl Bram. Perhaps for someone like Earl Shire, such punishment makes him even more uncomfortable. A pioneering and confident earl eventually became a domesticated dog. hound."

Looking at Enkata's smug face, Earl Rhonda's serious face flashed a trace of dissatisfaction. Obviously, Earl Rhonda felt that what Enkata said just now was inappropriate.

Enkata is too complacent. If Count Shire is a dog, then everyone will wonder whose dog he is. He will be the hunting dog of your Aquinax family.There is no one who mocks his own hunting dog.

And it can't go on like this anymore. After Enkata takes over, he has to support Earl Shire, and Earl Geithner must also be preserved.The nobility and the royal power competed with each other, and now the strength of the Aquinax family is too strong. Fortunately, Ashuraf Aquinax should die.

But the nobles in the royal city obviously don't have such complicated thoughts as Earl Rhonda. It's really abominable for a countryman with blood like Shire and the unknown Iris family to slap them in the face. The punishment is too light, he deserves to go to hell.

The loudest shouts in the crowd were Kurt and Kara, the two people who were frightened by Charles just now.

I saw the two of them gesturing, and said: "The Earl of Shire is just a country bumpkin. In such a solemn meeting of the noble assembly, he actually wore linen clothes that serfs would wear. In this cold winter day, he didn't even wear a pair of clothes. No decent coats.

And I knew that fellow Shire would be severely punished by His Majesty the King, as expected, or we would give in to him as a country bumpkin.You must know that Kara and I's swordsmanship is at the forefront of the entire city of Pella. "

Euphemism is the tradition of nobles, and saving face is also an unspoken rule at banquets. Naturally, the nobles who have witnessed everything will not expose Kurt and Kara. They will only discuss secretly below, but for Charles Kind of northern hillbilly, they'll follow along and laugh.

"That Shire is like a vicious dog who doesn't know good and bad. You have to give him a few sticks to make him obedient, otherwise he will bite people."

The aristocratic ladies and ladies smiled slightly, and the gentle and soft laughter gave these aristocratic gentlemen even greater encouragement.

Kurt looked at a good-looking noble lady in the crowd and said coquettishly: "Xiagou Xiagou, you have a bone to have a dog, gentlemen and ladies, you must take a bone with you when you go out. Otherwise, it would be bad to be bitten by our Earl of Shire."

"Ha ha ha" unscrupulous laughter came from the crowd, and the title of Earl Xia Dog quickly spread throughout the entire city of Pella.Even the children on the street clapped their hands and shouted: "Earl Summer Dog, you can only be an earl if you have bones."

The second prince watched this scene proudly, and the banquet became more and more restless with his help.

Charles, who came back from the noble meeting, was silent for a few days. He hadn't been invited to a banquet in the first place, and there won't be any after that.He stayed in the bedroom all the time, as if he was thinking, fighting against fate, and it seemed that he was just showing his unyielding.

No one knew what Charles was thinking at this time, the eldest prince still went to the banquet as usual, Fina saw that Charles' expression was not right, and after learning about the general situation from Kitty, she did not dare to go forward to comfort her.She just expresses her affection secretly. At night, she will get up secretly, help Shaer cover the kicked quilt, and then smooth his face when he is sleeping. She likes to lie on his side next to Charles, listening to his powerful voice. With the sound of her heart beating, she felt that the volcano in Charles' heart was about to erupt.

Les and Rao seem to know something, they just stay in the manor of the eldest prince on weekdays, and occasionally go out for a walk, and they don't hang out in front of Charles on weekdays. At this time, Charles has returned to the original When you are alone, you are silent and lonely.

A few days after the aristocratic meeting, the royal city became peaceful and happy again, and even two people who didn't know each other could smile at each other through secret signals——Earl Summer Dog, Earl Bones.This has also greatly increased the output of human traffickers this year.

On this day, Charles heard that someone had sent him a letter, but it was not delivered to the manor. Charles walked out of the Grand Prince's manor to get the letter. This was the first time he went out after the noble meeting, looking at the warm sun in the sky, The unshaven Charles just felt like a lifetime away.I haven't looked directly at the sun for many days, it's a bit dazzling.

After taking the envelope, Charles walked back, and suddenly a child jumped out, dressed in rags, Charles was a little confused, and was about to take out a silver coin from his pocket to send the little beggar away, but the little beggar suddenly He took out a bone from behind and threw it in front of Charles, then jumped and clapped his hands and shouted: "Count Dog, Earl Dog. Eat the bone, eat the bone."

At this time, some wild children sprang out, surrounded Charles, and shouted: "Count Dog, Earl Dog, why don't you eat your bones? Isn't it delicious? There are more here." A few bones were thrown in front of Charles, and the wild dogs on the road saw this scene, and rushed over from the road, grabbing one of the bones.

"Lord Dog, Earl Dog, your bones have been taken."

Watching this scene, the crowd also gathered, surrounded and whispered.

Obviously, this was deliberately arranged by someone with a heart. When Charles looked up, he saw the most conspicuous in the crowd, the neither male nor female Earl Bram, with a sneer on his face.

Charles subconsciously wanted to kick them away and kick them against the wall, but he stopped immediately, not because he cared about children.

He couldn't help but think of a passage, anger often stems from his own incompetence, even if he kicks these children away, it still can't change the fact that he has been reduced to a joke, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is what dogs do.

Killing these wild children cannot maintain the honor of the family, only the bloody head of the enemy can maintain the dignity and glory of the family.He gritted his teeth, swallowed the humiliation, and left the scene in silence.There was continuous laughter behind him.

"Count Dog, Earl Dog, why did you lose your bones?"

Earl Bram laughed in the crowd. One day when Shire was in the royal city, he would try to torture him for a day. He would use the gold coins handed in by Shire to insult Shire and the Iris family. Not only did he want to let all the nobles of the Principality of Artem know, but he also wanted to spread the news throughout the Glorious Continent by visiting the Principality of Luma and the Principality of Sukale.

After returning to the manor, Charles has been standing by the window of the bedroom from noon to night, until the sun sets, and the night like ink sweeps across the land.

Do not erupt in silence, but perish in silence.

Fina looked at Shire standing in front of the window, and she could feel that Shire's volcano erupted.

People can bow their heads, but they can't kneel down. Although Charles doesn't know what his mission is, he definitely didn't come to another world to be a dog.

Shire's heart was roaring, go to your mother's Artem Principality, your mother's king, your mother's nobles, I didn't come here to be a dog.Since I, you want me to be a dog, I will kill you for being so special.Even if it is death, it will turn upside down.

There may be individuals who betray the class, but there is absolutely no class who betrays the class. Shire understands that a reform is imperative. Since he wants to be an enemy of the entire noble class, he can only rely on civilians and slaves.

Do you want to open up the wisdom of the people, let them realize that the nobles are blood-sucking worms lying on top of them, and let them understand that opposing the nobles is fighting for their own interests?

Charles vetoed this idea in his heart. Once he showed signs of reform, the Aquinacos family would definitely send a large army to conquer him, and the surrounding Earl Geithner, Earl Violet, and Earl Rhonda would also immediately attack him. It will face a situation of being besieged on all sides.Therefore, we must quickly form combat effectiveness.

Through the last survey, he has understood that what serfs want most is to obtain their own land, and they don’t have to worry about being called to the battlefield by the nobles all the time. Children can still be supported, so they don't have to buy children in a disaster year.

But if Shire goes back, with a swipe of a pen, it is impossible to announce the abolition of all serf status. The serfs themselves do not believe it. Only when you are at ease, you will think it is true, and will not be taken away suddenly one day.

What virtue and knowledge can the illiterate serfs know, they are ignorant and ignorant.What they care about is whether to go to the battlefield to fight, whether it is a disaster year, and how much tax this year.What will they do, farming.What do they know, fight for the noble lord, and if they win, they can follow and rob.

Then start from this aspect, Charles has already found the path he is about to take in his previous life, killing people and farming.The serfs didn't need to understand why they killed people. They only needed to know that killing the enemy and taking their heads would abolish the status of serfs and obtain the land.

Since he is originally a person of this world, if he wants to blend in and can only be a dog, then it is better to turn him upside down and kill him.Once he realizes that the enemy's head is equal to the serfs behind the land, the power they unleash will be devastating. Charles doesn't know if he can control this power, but he knows he has no choice.

Charles' eyes gradually cleared up, and a full moon came out from the clouds, as if he had regained his freedom. The cold moonlight entered the room and shone on Charles' face.

Fina was on the bed and opened her eyes secretly. She saw Charles' profile under the moonlight, straight nose bridge, knife-like chin, and firm and confident eyes. He knew that the Charles she was familiar with was back. .

Fina couldn't help herself, her snow-white feet stepped on the ground silently, she quietly walked behind Charles, gently held him, and buried her head in his generous back.

Charles gently held Fina's little white hand. He knew that Fina had no choice. No matter how Fina comforted her, he would think it was Fina's hypocrisy. After all, his first son was going to be named Tulip. , and will inherit the title.

Rice and Rao are similar. In terms of multiple choices in this matter, in terms of his own future destiny, and the choice of the direction to go in the future, Charles must and can only be alone.

Loneliness makes people grow. Since he can't integrate into this world, let him, a foreigner, change the world.

Charles turned around, hugged Fina, then gently placed her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and kissed her snow-white and smooth forehead.Then he turned and went back to the window.

At that time, there were only a few ways for men to vent, alcohol, violence, and women. In short, they indulged their desires and numb their souls.

But Shire rejected all of this. Tonight, he wanted to taste the humiliation and loneliness. Reform is not something that can be done immediately. He needs sufficient preparations and a suitable timing.

When a man turns from indulgence to self-discipline, he gradually matures. Maybe it was too smooth in the past, and he feels that the future will be beautiful.
But this is not necessarily the case. Prepare for the worst in everything. Failure in reform is nothing more than death. Perhaps after thousands of years of research, scholars will attribute Shire to the pioneer from slavery to feudalism. Perhaps he used it in the Iris Collar Chopsticks will also replace knives and forks.

It's a beautiful night tonight and I'm ready to die.
