Chapter 54 The Knight’s Betrayal

Purficott, who was still angry, returned to his cabin and angrily threw himself into the sofa. He hammered the cushions on the sofa with dissatisfaction to vent his emotions, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it. Blackwood! Today’s good mood has been completely ruined by them! I was still thinking about having a great meal at the sea at the dinner party!”

Saying this, Purficott glanced at Befa standing next to her, and said to her: "Befa, notify the kitchen and send a big meal to my room."

"Yes, Miss." Befa heard the clicking sound of gears turning in his body, and then reached out to activate another maid puppet on the side, passing the recorded instructions to this maid puppet.

The maid accidentally received the order and immediately left the room to convey Purficott's request.

At this time, Butler Foster and Samantha also came outside the room, followed by other guard knights.

After letting the maid puppet go out and letting the other guard knights stay outside, Foster and Samantha walked into the room together.

Facing Purficott who seemed to be very angry, Samantha took the lead in giving a military salute to Purficott, and then reported: "Her Excellency Baroness Brandlis, according to your order, Beckett has been dismissed." ·Sir Blackwood's duties in the exploration team, I have taken over the command of the Fourth Standard of the Knights of the Guard. The Fourth Standard currently has three knights of the guard and six squires at your disposal."

At this time, Samantha had already adopted a very serious business attitude. This was not because she had any objections to Purficott, but because this was considered a formal official occasion, and when military affairs were involved, she had to Be serious, especially now that a very serious issue is involved.

Purficott couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked: "According to what you told me before, a standard team of knights of the Royal Guard should consist of twenty people. When your standard captain takes six knights to protect my manor, Under the premise, there should be thirteen talents left in the fourth flag team.

But now, I only fired one Beckett, why are there only nine people left, and where are the other three? "

For the Guard Knights, the most important thing is loyalty.

Although their allegiance is to the royal family, when Purficott holds the Queen's special power of attorney, she is the representative of imperial power, and her orders and will can be regarded as the execution of the royal will.

Under such circumstances, three more people refused to obey her orders. This was a very serious incident, and it could even be considered a betrayal by the knights of the guard.

"There is another knight who was Sir Beckett's former attendant, and the other two are their current attendants. After you announced the expulsion of Sir Beckett, they chose to advance and retreat together with Sir Beckett." Samantha quickly answered Purphy Kurt asked, then lowered his head.

Purficott took a deep breath and felt sincerely dissatisfied, but she was not incompetent and furious. Instead, she turned to Foster and asked: "Grandpa Afu, what is this kind of behavior called in the army?" ? Can I understand the attitude that the knights of the guard are showing now as the Blackwood family is trying to control the knights of the guard to betray the royal family? "

These words immediately caused the expressions of Samantha and the knight of the guard outside the door who were listening to their conversation to change suddenly. The knight of the guard betrayed the royal family. This accusation was quite serious!
  Although they had realized the seriousness of the problem before, they did not guide the matter in this direction.

"Miss, you shouldn't be so angry." Foster persuaded Purfict, and then he answered Purfict's question: "In the past, the relationship between the knight's squire and the knight was like that between father and son. Master and apprentice, a knight teaches his squire and seeks opportunities for him to become a real knight. In fact, many knights' squires can become real knights, and the titles and fiefs they receive are often inherited from the knights they serve.

Just like the master and I, as a squire, you also need to provide various services for the knights you serve, including but not limited to war services and squire services.

Providing advice and attitude support at critical moments is also part of serving the knight as a squire.

But this is still regarded as forming a clique in the military, or developing one's own power and party members. According to the newly promulgated military regulations after the empire's military reform, this behavior has seriously violated military law.

But this is not a sentence of the Royal Guards against the royal family. What you said is somewhat serious. "

"It can be considered." Purficott replied, and then asked Samantha: "Have those two guys from the Blackwood family been sent to the frigate?"

"The captain has sent a small boat to send the two of them and the other three knights to the frigate. I watched them board the ship." Samantha answered quickly, and also expressed to Purficott : "Your Excellency, you don't have to doubt the loyalty of the knights of the guard. Even Sir Beckett has no intention of betraying the empire."

Purficott shook his head noncommittally, and then didn't say anything more. He just told Samantha to readjust the defenses on the ship, and then let her leave.

After Samantha left, Purficott asked Foster: "Grandpa Afu, do you think I really did something wrong today?"

"You need to judge this for yourself, Miss. All I can provide is the knowledge I know." Old Foster was still humble, but he still did not forget to tell Purphycott: "The Blackwood family is here. The military is very influential. Old Viscount Blackwood and your grandfather were once colleagues, and old Blackwood was also your grandfather's superior.

At that time, the relationship between the Blackwood family and the Brandlees family was not bad. Your grandfather and the old Viscount Blackwood were both called 'B2', so that your father attended the same school as the current Viscount Blackwood. university.

But later, because of your mother's relationship, a duel broke out between the two. Viscount Blackwood lost, your father returned with the beauty, and the two families became enmity. "

Although Old Foster said it very generally, Purficott still understood what it meant.

"Really? It turns out that something like this happened before, so I didn't do anything wrong today. This family doesn't seem like good people." Perficott commented, and then said to Old Fox Special instructions: "Send a telegram back to Langton to explain the situation, but don't add any extravagance."
