Chapter 316: Raising the Height

Chapter 317: Raise the Height

"Kroll, what are you going to do when you meet His Majesty the King tomorrow?"

In the room, the five people who had a conflict with Ronin gathered together and were discussing the next countermeasures.

After being treated by the court doctor, Cross, who had broken his ribs, had a significantly improved condition, but he was still lying in bed to rest and did not get up.

"What are you afraid of?"

He was not worried at all: "We didn't spread those rumors about Ronin out of thin air, and he couldn't sue us for slander. Besides, I am also the nephew of His Majesty the King, and everyone has the blood of the Alduin family in their bodies. Are you afraid that His Majesty will favor the son of a declining Marquis family?"

Facundo on the side touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "My Fleming family members don't have Alduin's blood in their bodies."

"Oh, what are you afraid of."

The speaker was Sally, who had a close relationship with Facundo of Screaming Island.

"The Fleming family is a magic family, and your grandfather is a great magician, much more powerful than the Wushan family."

The Marquis is a great noble, but sometimes it is not because of the high title that others are afraid.

Take the Fleming family of Screaming Island for example. Although they are a count family, their strength is not inferior to Wushan Castle, so they are naturally not afraid at all.

"You don't have to worry."

Cross said: "I have asked my knight to contact my uncle Hamand outside the palace. He will meet His Majesty with us tomorrow. Haha, I was injured, and I didn't even have time to ask for compensation, but that Ronin asked for 50,000 gold coins. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

They all thought that His Majesty would summon both of them tomorrow, but they didn't expect Bruno to wait until tomorrow, and didn't even delay for a few hours.

More than half an hour later, both parties gathered in the Hall of Alduin.

At this moment, Tom and David, who were sitting on soft chairs and were carried in, were excited.

This time, following the Lord, they not only saw the prosperous capital, but also had the honor to enter the Golden Feather Palace, and now they came to the Alduin Hall, which ordinary people could not enter.

This is a glorious moment in their lives, even though they are injured.

"Okay, little guys, tell your stories."

His Majesty Bruno sat on the throne, smiling and looking at the group of people below, they are all very young.

His eyes fell on Cross, who was also lying on the soft chair at this moment.

"Cross, you go first."

Cross respectfully performed a knight's salute: "Your Majesty, the story is very simple. My friends and I just said a few words about Ronin, and his two followers came forward to accuse and insult us. In order to protect the dignity of the family, we took action to teach them a lesson. But I didn't expect Ronin to hurt my knight, and even broke two ribs of me!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, they lied!!"

Tom and David were anxious, but facing the king, they were a little excited and trembling when they spoke.

Such a performance could not help but make several noble young masters and young ladies laugh secretly. They were indeed ignorant people who had never seen the world.

"Don't be impatient, talk slowly." Ronin said.

His voice was like a shot of cardiotonic, relieving the panic of the two.

"Your Majesty, we just heard them insulting Lord Ronin as a waste and a disgrace to the nobles. We just wanted to stop them, but Cross and Facundo kicked us in the ribs!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we didn't have the opportunity to accuse and insult these nobles and young ladies. Cross, as the eldest grandson of the Principality of Vera, actually framed us. It's really a disgrace to the Vera family!"

"Are you worthy of being framed by us?"

The speaker was Milannie, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ferensburg. She was Bruno's niece, and she had a marriage relationship with Cross.

"We are noble nobles, with the blood of the royal family of Alduin flowing in our bodies, while you are humble and lowly commoners. Under normal circumstances, we would disdain to even look at you, let alone come to frame you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think these people are here to stir up trouble."

"And we didn't deliberately spread rumors to slander Ronin. The things we said were all things he had done before."

"He forced a noble lady to go to bed and caused her to commit suicide. Such a person is not worthy of being a noble at all!"

They said one thing after another, and a war of accusations and insults against Ronin started again.

Ronin laughed in his heart. Although the nobles were polite and respectful on weekdays, once they were angered, they also cursed with spit flying, no different from the common people.

It was hard for Tom and David, children from the mountains who had never seen the world. They were insulted and accused by this group of nobles, and their faces turned red with anger, but they couldn't fart for a long time.

The solemn Alduin Hall became extremely chaotic.

"Alright!"

After the argument lasted for a while, Bruno finally spoke up to stop the farce.

He looked at Ronin: "Everyone has expressed their opinions, what about you, Ronin? What do you want to say?"

To be honest, if it was just such an accusation, his way of dealing with it would at most be to give both sides a slap on the wrist. He would neither help Kroos nor deliberately favor Ronin.

Ronin saluted Bruno, then turned to Cross: "I only ask you four questions. First, who was the first to hurt my followers? Second, who killed my followers when they were powerless to resist? Third, who took the initiative to attack me? Fourth, who saw that he couldn't beat me, so he called a group of people to beat me up?"

When each of his questions came out, a picture appeared in Cross's mind.

In the picture, the person was actually him.

"Even if it was me?"

Cross sneered: "If it wasn't for your followers to stir up trouble, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened."

Ronin also knew that such accusations and questions were a very troublesome thing. After all, there was no camera or recorder.

He needed to raise the level of this conflict, and it would be best to drag the king as the referee into the water.

"Your Majesty, I want to duel with Cross, but not only for me and the Wushan family, but also for your Majesty and the deceased Klinsmann."

Bruno was stunned. How could a small conflict involve him?

It's fine if they just involved him, but why did they even bring up his dead father? When Klinsmann died, the oldest of these guys was only four or five years old.

"Ronin, this is not a casual remark."

Ronin explained: "Cross said that the Wushan family was able to join the ranks of marquis because His Majesty Klinsmann was moved by my grandfather's serious injury and the pain of losing his son, so he gave him the title of marquis. They said this to question the fairness of the Alduin royal family. After all, any professional knight knows that to become a noble, one must rely on unwavering loyalty and fruitful military exploits."

"More importantly, their tone at the time revealed disdain and doubt for His Majesty Klinsmann."

"You are talking nonsense!" Cross roared angrily.

The people around him were also anxious. They didn't expect Ronin to say such a thing.

God bless them, they didn't have any disdain or doubt for His Majesty Klinsmann at all.

"Cross, just tell me whether you said this or not?"

Ronin said calmly: "Oh, by the way, I remember that the latter sentence was said by Lord Facundo of Screaming Island, but later you stood up for him."

Bruno frowned and looked at Facundo: "Do you really think so?"

Facundo was furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and quickly knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, I..."

He was about to deny it, but he seemed to have really said this, and he was not sure if there were other outsiders present at the time.

If he insisted that he had not said it now, and was exposed by others, it would be deceiving His Majesty the King, which was different from slandering Ronin's two followers.

"Your Majesty, I said this, but I never had any disdain or doubt towards His Majesty Klinsmann. This is Roning's slander!"

Roning followed up: "Your Majesty, there are many doubts about my past, such as Selena's suicide. I was unconscious after I got drunk that night. You know, for a drunk man, that thing is useless."

Bruno glared at him, indicating that he didn't know.

Blanche, who was sitting next to him, also understood. Although she was a little embarrassed, she was still very concerned about this matter. After all, if this matter was true, she would still have regrets and grudges in her heart.

"In my opinion, it is more likely that some people want to use her death to make my name as a waste, and then deprive my eldest grandson of the right to inherit the throne through a series of operations."

Blanche tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed that this possibility was very high, and the regrets and grudges in her heart faded a lot.

Bruno nodded secretly in his heart, but said: "Ronin, what we are talking about now is a conflict, not your personal matter."

It's not a glorious private matter, it's not a good thing to talk about it too much.

"These two things are connected."

Ronin explained: "If there are too many rumors about me, people who hear them will think that I am just that kind of person and no longer pay attention to the truth of the facts. Similarly, if Facundo's words are spread and widely circulated, the knights and even nobles of the kingdom may also believe that they can get the title as long as they play the victim to win the sympathy of His Majesty the King."

"Once this mentality spreads, how many knights and nobles will be destroyed to be loyal to His Majesty? Once people think so, the Kingdom of Alduin will lose a large number of knights who are good at fighting, and there will be many more people who play the victim and perform. At that time, how should we face the powerful enemy Tricia Kingdom?"

He said, looking at His Majesty the King: "Don't think that they are just slandering the Wushan family, but in fact they are endangering your Majesty's rule and the foundation of the kingdom!"

Ronin took a deep breath and said seriously: "So, for you, for the Kingdom of Alduin, I must draw my sword against them and stop the spread of their remarks!"

Krodo was speechless, and Facundo was sweating.

Could a sentence they said casually really have such great power?

Ronin's words were a bit far-fetched, and the power was not as serious as he described.

But after careful analysis, it seemed to make some sense.

Bruno had a thoughtful expression on his face.

What he wanted to do most in his life was to destroy the Kingdom of Tricia and establish the Alduin Empire.

Therefore, he needed a lot of knights to serve him and fight for him.

Although Ronin's words were suspected of exaggeration and dragging people into the water, he would pay more attention to them as long as there was a possibility.

And he had intended to side with Ronin in this conflict, but there was no reasonable reason.

Now, the reasonable reason came.

Bruno looked at the Minister of Justice on the side: "Texas, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The Minister of Justice who was called over was a little embarrassed. At present, they were still in the stage of mutual accusation. It seemed that Ronin had won, but it was difficult for him to judge the children of the opposing families.

"Your Majesty, this conflict..."

"No, I'm not talking about this conflict."

Bruno interrupted the other party, "I'm talking about the fact that they questioned the legality of the previous king's canonization of the Wushan family as marquis and spread false information."
