"Xingge, I have watched you grow up since you were a child." Marquis Shillington's face looked ugly.
"Don't flatter yourself. Gentlemen here, who among you didn't watch me grow up?" Xingge said with a sneer.
The Marquis of Shillington was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
"There's something wrong with Xingge's tone. I'm sure Shillington has offended Xingge in some way." Many important officials present thought to themselves.
"It feels so safe to have a bodyguard." Luther gave Xingge a thumbs up in his heart.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, now I am the one asking questions to these two gentlemen." Grand Duke Buffett glanced at the Marquis of Shillington with an expressionless face.
"Yes. Your Excellency, I am sorry for my impoliteness." Grand Duke Buffett seemed to have no emotion on his face and calm eyes, but a chill surged in the heart of Marquis Shillington, and he admitted his mistake obediently.
"He is worthy of being the prime minister of the kingdom." Luther also gave a thumbs up to Grand Duke Buffett in his heart.
"Okay. Sir Pompey Knight, you can speak now." Grand Duke Buffett looked up at Old Thor with the same calm eyes.
Old Thor couldn't help but become more serious. The pressure from this big shot was no exaggeration.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, the reason we kill people in the royal capital is also for the sake of the kingdom." Old Thor took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?"
Archduke Buffett asked calmly.
Other important officials were thinking in their hearts that this guy was very cunning. He killed people but still claimed that he was thinking about the kingdom. It was obvious at first glance that he was a politician.
"The kingdom's biggest enemy right now is the New Party. These rebels claim to let commoners become the rulers of the kingdom and hang all the nobles. Of course, this is just a slogan shouted by their top leaders in order to seize power, but we cannot deny that some of our nobles have gone too far."
"For example, the family member of the Marquis of Shillington, the scum Lucy Shillington who was killed by us, is a bastard who specializes in luring and trafficking civilian knights. In the current situation of the New Party's chaos, although many civilian knights have joined the New Party, there are also a large number of knights who are neutral or even support the nobles. In this case, if scum like Lucy and Shillington are allowed to do whatever they want and the news spreads, it will force those civilian knights who are loyal to the nobles to feel shaken. Neutral civilian knights may even directly join the arms of the New Party. In disguise, the number of enemies of the kingdom has increased. I am deeply worried about this, so I can't help but kill Lucy and Shillington."
Old Saul bowed to Mr. Buffett, straightened his back, and spoke freely in front of the important officials.
The ministers looked at each other with their eyes flashing. The chancellor, Grand Duke Buffett, the commander, the legendary dragon knight, Grand Duke Figo, were also very calm.
They obviously didn't know who Lucy and Shillington were, but they obviously knew something about the abduction of civilian knights.
Because this kind of thing is not a big deal in normal times.
But now that the New Party is inciting civilian knights to rebellion, this kind of thing has become an excuse for the New Party to attack, especially now that the decisive battle is imminent.
The Marquis of Shillington's face turned livid, and he cursed Lucy, the guy Shillington, in his heart, asking why he could do something else but engage in the slave business.
This bastard.
However, the Marquis of Shillington had to stand up at this time. This matter could not be swallowed up like this, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Shillington family.
"You are lying. We in the Shillington family would never do such dirty and despicable business." The Marquis of Shillington argued loudly.
"That's enough, Your Excellency the Marquis. Give yourself some face." Grand Duke Buffett glanced at the Marquis of Shillington.
The Marquis of Shillington was also very happy to remain silent.
The two men suppressed the matter in silence. Lord Shillington's loud defense was just a gesture. And Lord Buffett's words were also just a gesture.
Because of Ruthie, Shillington’s affairs were not investigated.
Everyone knows it. In order to protect the reputation of the Shillington family, the Marquis of Shillington does not want to investigate further, and Grand Duke Buffett can also give face to the Shillington family and not continue to investigate.
At this point, Ruthie Shillington's death was in vain.
No one will dwell on this matter any more.
Luther calmly avenged Xiao Baicai and the others.
"I accept this statement and find you not guilty. Please continue, Your Excellency." Duke Buffett said calmly.
Old Thor bared his fangs and leaned forward to speak.
The important officials at the scene were in an uproar.
The truth is revealed.
Why did this father and son choose to appear in such a grand way? Within one day, all the bigwigs in the royal capital knew about Pompey and his son.
As everyone knows, the relationship between the king and the great nobles on the ground is tenuous, but they appear to be in harmony but are actually distant.
After that war, the king no longer conferred titles on great nobles.
Even if there had been no war, there were still some prerequisites for enthroning a great noble on the ground.
The simplest condition is that the king must know you, and you must also have great abilities.
Pompey and his son obtained this condition and climbed up by stepping on the heads of the Shillington family.
In one day, Pompey and his son became known to everyone.
It turned out that the Marquis of Shillington was just a stepping stone for the Pompeii family. The important officials all looked at the Marquis of Shillington with pity, this poor guy.
The Marquis of Shillington obviously understood this truth, his eyes were spitting fire, and he wanted to kill the bastard father and son immediately.
The feud has been settled.
Originally it would have been impossible for the king to enfeoff the great nobles again, but now that the New Party was causing chaos, it was an opportunity.
The kingdom is already in turmoil, and it must unite all its forces to resist the New Party.
Not to mention an earth knight holding a bloodthirsty battle axe, and an eagle king. Although many of the bigwigs in the capital are titled knights and magicians.
But the problem is that the new party also has a similar number of title knights. At this time, adding two more people to our side is naturally extremely important.
This is an opportunity to open the door for the royal family to no longer enfeoff great nobles on the ground.
I have to admit that this father and son really see things clearly.
Grand Duke Buffett was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Conferring a knighthood is a big matter, and only the king can make the decision."
"Taling, can you contact the king?" asked Grand Duke Buffett.
A ball of red light appeared again, and Wangdu Tower Spirit said, "We just got in touch."
"I'll go ask the king, do you have anything to say to the king?" asked Archduke Buffett.
"Please tell the king that the decisive battle is imminent. Most of the great nobles in Orange have been defeated, leaving only Duke Figol and Count Libya. We, Pompey, intend to lead a part of the forces and work with the Duke and Count to wipe out the new party in Orange and contribute to the kingdom. However, we lack a legitimate name, so please make an exception and enthrone a new vassal."
Old Thor bowed and said.
Grand Duke Buffett's eyes flashed, and then he asked the King's Tower Spirit: "Is the gate of the King's Capital closed?"
When chaos breaks out in the capital, the main gates are closed as usual, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
As a magic city, the royal capital can definitely do this.
"It's closed." Wangdu Tower Spirit replied.
"Keep it closed and don't open it without my order." said Grand Duke Buffett, then he stood up and walked to the second floor and said to everyone.
"Hold on!"
