Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 41 Zhuoke III

Queen Lozaria put her hands on the armrests of the seat, and she only said one sentence from the beginning to the present.

After looking around, she asked Sigmund: "Master Sigmund, according to the laws of the kingdom, what should we do with His Royal Highness Zhuo Ke in this situation?"

Sigmund glanced at the queen with some surprise, then turned his gaze to Vigrich.

Father didn't look at them, but looked calmly ahead of him.

"Your Majesty," Sigmund Miriam said slowly, "in Vivalia, women who kill women will be hanged for public display, and men who kill men will be sentenced to death by beheading."

Zhuo Ke was taken aback when he heard that, "He drew his sword at me first! I have the right to punish him!"

In the Hastza Empire, it is a felony to show a weapon to the royal nobles or the guards, he just defended his own dignity.

"Your Highness Zhuo Ke, there is no such law here." Sigmund explained to him.

The people of the Kingdom of Vivalia have no right to decide his life or death, he is the heir to the Hastza Empire, no, father will not let this happen.

"I...I want a trial by combat, or a trial by blood!" Zhuo Ke shouted in a panic.

Zhuo Ke remembered that the kingdom of Vivaria had their barbaric tradition, as long as they won the jousting match or passed the blood test of the corpse, they could be acquitted.

With his swordsmanship and martial arts, no one can defeat him in a duel.

"The people in the tavern are all witnesses to this murder. Your crime will be determined by Her Majesty the Queen. You have no right to request a trial by combat or a trial by blood." Sigmund continued to explain to him.

"Shut up!" Father growled menacingly at Chuck, his hands gripping the railing tightly.

He was frightened by his father's order, and was so wronged that he wanted to retaliate.Did he spoil his father's plan?If that's the case, Dad has 1 reasons to be mad at him.

At this moment, Monty took his hand and said softly, "Believe in father, brother."

He looked at Monty's concerned eyes and nodded, that's all he could do now.

"In Hastza, those who slander the empire will be hanged for treason." Vigerich looked at the queen. "Leo Corva draws his sword first, and Zhuo Ke has the right to kill him."

"It's a pity that Hall of Ashes is not in the Hastza Empire, not anymore." A man who was as thin as a bone among the vassals of the Korva family said bitterly.

The Vivarians are a bunch of ignorant and unmannered bastards, Chuck thought.

"Sir Henryk." The Queen raised her hand to signal him to be quiet.

"Your Majesty Vigrich," Queen Lozaria said helplessly, "please forgive my subordinate for offending me, but what he said is not unreasonable. This is the capital of Vivalia, and there is Vivalia Asia's own laws."

"You can't kill him!" Monty shouted hastily, "Zuck, I brought Zhuo Ke to the tavern, and the quarrel was also caused by me being troublesome. You can't just sentence him to death like this!"

At this time, Dia seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked Lozaria carefully in a hoarse voice: "Are you going to sentence Zhuo Ke to death?"

"We have lost enough today, and no one deserves to be killed again." Vigrich stared at Lozaria and said, "Hastza and Vivalia are allies, and your sister is my sister." Wife, there must be another solution to this."

"Killing pays for life, there is no better solution than this." The annoying Henrik opened his mouth again.

"What's your name?" Vigrich asked behind him, "Henrik what?"

"I'm Henrik Gurkova, Stable Master of Smörgerberg," replied Henrik.

"Oh, Stable Master," said my father sarcastically, "that's why you know the laws of the kingdom so well."

Henrik's eyes widened, and he puffed out his chest and was about to retaliate, but his father stopped him again, "This is a conversation between kings and kings. When you want to speak, you will naturally let you speak, don't interrupt."

Sigmund Miriam also gave Henrik a hard look to calm him down.

Henrik straightened his brown leather jacket, looked at Vigerich gloomily, and said nothing.

"Let's solve this problem with gold," Father suggested to Lozaria, "I know that the treasury of the Kingdom of Vivaria has always been unable to make ends meet.

The Empire will forever be grateful for your generosity if you are willing to accept Hastza's gold and cancel Prince Leo's death. "

"Your Majesty Vigrich, my father has always said that you are an outstanding negotiator," Queen Lozaria said, "His judgment is correct, you are indeed a person who can speak well.

But forgive me for refusing to use my brother's death as a bargaining chip in exchange for gold. If I agree to your proposal, Leo's soul and the gods will not let me go. "

Father waved his hand to stop the clerk who was recording the conversation.

"This is for the good of the kingdom. I believe Prince Leo and the gods will understand you." Father continued to fight.

Lozaria smiled and shook her head, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Wigrich, I won't waver."

"So, Your Majesty, what do you want?" Father asked with interest.

"I don't want anything," replied Lozaria, "I want people."

"Human?" asked the father.

"Yes, people." Lozaria looked at Dia and Allen on the other side and said, "Your Majesty Vigrich, I want my sister and nephew to stay in Ash Hall after my coronation. "

"Me and Alan?" Dia asked.

The father was also surprised, he frowned and asked, "Why?"

"I miss my sister so much, and I want her to stay with me for a while. Alan hasn't understood where his mother lived before, so he should be more in a daze." Lozaria explained.

"Her Majesty doesn't want gold, but her sister and nephew stay with her for a while longer?" Wigrich asked puzzled, "So you are willing to write off Zhuo Ke's affairs?"

"Yes," Lozaria nodded, "I swear to the star gods."

"How long do you want them to stay?" Father seemed to agree with Lozaria.

"I can't say an exact time, but when the time comes, I will escort them back to Madkalin City." Lozaria said.

Although this is a happy proposal, Zhuo Ke doesn't want Dia to stay in Ash Hall, and there is no exact return date yet.

He couldn't stand the absence of his mother, and he had to seek her forgiveness.

"Do I look easy to be fooled?" the father scowled. "I'm not going to let my wife and son stay here as hostages."

"You worry too much, Your Majesty Wigrich." Lozaria explained, "Dia and Allen are also my family members, and you and I are still allies. How could I take them as hostages?"

"Father, I'm fine," Allen said with a smile, "I trust Her Majesty the Queen."

The father ignored Alan and said to Lozaria: "I have a better proposal, you will marry my son Zhuo Ke, so that Hastza and Vivalia's allies will be closer."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was filled with astonished voices, and everyone began to whisper to each other.
