Heroes of Silver Moon

"Hey, isn't this Marquis Hood? Why is it tied up, hurry up, come and untie it!"

After meeting the two of Valeri, the old king didn't talk to Valeri first, but spoke to Marquis Hood in a strange way.

The palace guards in the back garden quickly untied the rope on Marquis Hood after receiving the old king's order.

"Your Majesty, you really are!" After the rope on his body was untied, Marquis Hood smiled wryly twice, and really didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Ma De, if you hadn't messed with me behind my back this time, would I have ended up like this?

"By the way, today is your birthday, right? Oh, look at my memory. Quickly, take out the birthday cake I prepared for Marquis Hood."

The old king looked at Marquis Hood with a smile on his face, and then the palace guards in the back garden really brought out a big cake.

"How is it, Marquis Hood, do you like this birthday present?" After the palace guards moved out the big cake, the old king asked with a meaningful smile.

Looking at the old king full of sarcasm, Marquis Hood suppressed the grievance in his heart, and then replied with a smirk on his face: "I like it. How could I not like the birthday present from His Majesty?"

Hearing Marquis Hood's answer, the smile on the old king's face became wider.

"Oh, as long as you like it, if you like it, I will give you such a gift on your birthday next year," the old king said meaningfully.

Hearing such a bright threat, Marquis Hood's face suddenly darkened.

But the cold light in the old king's eyes made Marquis Hood put a smile on his face immediately.

"Your Majesty, I accept your wish, but the capital is quite far from the territory of the Hood family, so it's better not to bother you," said the Marquis Hood with a low profile.

The situation is stronger than people, and now the old king is in control of the situation, how can he not bow his head!

"Hmph, is that so?" The old king snorted dissatisfiedly, and then turned his attention to Valery.

Looking at Valery, the old king's eyes flashed a hint of admiration.

To be honest, at the beginning, he really didn't expect that the Hawke family could directly defeat the Hood family.

For this reason, he also arranged a lot of supporters. For example, the heir of the Hamilton family disappeared in the territory of the Hood family. Earl Hamilton wanted to send troops to join the battlefield, asking for an explanation or something.

But if you use the second hand, as long as you are a little bit smarter nobleman, you can see that there must be a big problem.

Once most of the nobles in the kingdom know that there is a problem in this matter, the effect of the old king's next order will definitely be greatly reduced.

But in this situation, the Hawke family directly defeated the Hood family without using any external force.

After this incident got out, the prestige of the Hood family would definitely be greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, the old king's next plan would have the greatest effect.

As for what the crown prince promised to the Hawke family before, the Hawke family will definitely win or something.

That's the crown prince's guarantee, don't care about me, the king, if your Hawke family loses this battle, then you can go to the crown prince to reason!

Therefore, the fact that the Hawke family could directly defeat the Hood family was indeed beyond the expectation of the old king.

"It's a pity that he is a lord with such a good talent for leading the army." Looking at the restrained Valery, the old king not only sighed in his heart.

The interests of most lords are different from those of the royal family, and the lords still manage the territory on weekdays, so it is impossible for them to serve in the Royal Army.

That's why the old king sighed at Valery's military talent!

No one from the same route, no matter how good Valery's military talent is, he dare not use it!

"Marquis Hood, how much do you think your life is worth?" His eyes returned to Marquis Hood, and the old king finally recovered his serious posture.

The Hood family and the Hawke family are just two pawns. He has to deal with the disputes between these two families before he can complete the next plan.

"Well," Marquis Hood couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he heard the old king's question.

Now that he, the patriarch, has been captured, if he wants to return to the Hood family safely, he must pay the ransom to the Hawke family!

"How about releasing the heir of the Hawke family and paying fifty thousand gold coins?" Marquis Hood looked at Valery and offered a fair compensation.

It's nothing to release the heir of the Hawke family, that is, Simon. The Hood family has lost this battle, and it should have been done.

The most important thing is the ransom of the patriarch. With the king as the middleman, it is impossible for him to fool the Hawke family casually.

Fifty thousand gold coins is not a lot, enough to make up for the loss of the Hawke family this time.

Fifty thousand gold coins is not much, and the Hood family will not be injured.

If the Hawke family wants more compensation, then Marquis Hood would rather let the Hood family than redeem himself as the patriarch.

"Well, very fair compensation, what do you think, Earl Hauke", upon hearing Marquis Hood's reply, the old king asked Valéry~www.readwn.com~Since he wants to mediate, of course he has to listen Listen to both sides.

"Well, I think it's okay," Valery agreed when he heard that he could get 50,000 gold coins in compensation.

Oh my god! Fifty thousand gold coins, the foundation of the Hawke family for more than a thousand years, has not been able to save so much.

Although the Hawke family lost far more than 50,000 gold coins this time, Valéry knew in his heart that in front of the king, the price quoted by the Marquis Hood was definitely the limit that the Hood family could pay.

If he continues to be greedy and wants more compensation, then Marquis Hood will definitely act like a bachelor.

I would rather not be redeemed, and never pay more compensation.

In that case, the two sides will be at a stalemate.

The remaining gold coins of the Hawke family are only a few thousand. If the negotiations between the two parties are at a stalemate, the Hawke family will suffer in the end.

After all, the army had just fought a tragic victory, and the Hawke family needed money in a lot of places now.

Replenishing supplies, rewarding soldiers, buying medicines, and asking the priests of the Moonlight Church to treat the wounded all cost money!

Therefore, for the Hawke family, the sooner they get the compensation, the better!

"Well, that's good, this matter is settled like this. Before the Hawke family has received compensation, Marquis Hood will live in the palace now!"

Seeing that there were no objections from both sides, the old king waved his hand and settled the matter.

Then several palace guards stepped forward and took Marquis Hood to a guest room in the palace, where they guarded him closely.

If the Hawke family is allowed to take care of the Marquis Hood, if someone with ulterior motives assassinates the Marquis Hood, then this matter will be unclear.

Therefore, it is better to let the royal family take care of the Marquess Hood!
