Chapter 148: Audience with Saint Laurent VI
“Miss Mosgra, judging from your expression, you seem to know the person in front of you?”
Catching a hint of surprise in Eunice's eyes, Lynn spoke without hesitation.
Damn it.
Eunice instantly collected her thoughts and made her expression look very cold: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Obviously, Lynn's unexpected return disrupted their plans.
Even the servants originally stationed in Bartleron's mansion were all captured by him.
Hearing this, Lin En smiled and said, "Don't you know? It doesn't matter if you don't know."
Then he looked at the Fourth Prince Joshua who was standing beside him: "Your Highness, according to the Imperial Code, what kind of punishment should be imposed on those who invade the noble territory without permission?"
Lynn’s voice was clear enough for everyone in the room to hear.
The fourth prince frowned slightly: "Death penalty."
"Very good." Lin En seemed to agree with his point of view and nodded with a smile, "In that case, I will introduce these people to Your Highness."
"As the only legitimate heir of the Bartleron family, I have not received any employment applications or contracts from these servants. However, they openly appeared in the mansion and even regarded themselves as the master."
"Your Highness, do you think these people should die?"
“.”
Looking at Lin En's aggressive appearance, the Fourth Prince seemed to have guessed something.
He couldn't help but frowned and didn't answer the question.
Seeing this, Lin En raised his hand slightly, and then the border servant behind him handed him a revolver loaded with bullets.
"Close your eyes."
Feeling the small hands holding his waist, Lynn whispered to Eleanor.
At this moment, in Eleanor's eyes, her brother was undoubtedly the most handsome man in the world, so she nodded obediently, looked at Maria, the head maid, with hatred, and then closed her eyes.
She felt nothing but anger towards one of the culprits who had killed her personal maid and imprisoned her in the mansion.
Seeing this scene, Eunice couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What do you want to do?!"
"This is the Royal Supernatural Academy. Even if you want to act wildly, you must know the occasion!"
Eunice's chest was rising and falling rapidly, and she was angry at the guy in front of her for ruining her dinner.
But Lynn ignored her.
"Last chance." He pressed the cold barrel of the gun against the back of Maria's head. "Tell me who ordered this, and I can spare your life."
Maria, with tears of fear in her eyes, subconsciously raised her head and looked at Eunice in front of her.
After seeing the look in the eldest lady's eyes that showed she was certain the other party wouldn't dare to shoot, Maria, the head maid, felt a little more at ease.
"You are ridiculous."
"Bang--"
Before she could finish her words, sudden gunshots echoed throughout the hall!
"ah!!!!"
Everyone was frightened when they saw the young man in front of them open fire without hesitation. Many young ladies from noble families even had trembling legs and covered their faces, not daring to look at the scene in front of them.
Someone died! This unexpected dinner had finally ended with someone dying! Everyone wanted to leave, but the burly border guards were blocking the door.
The moment the gunshot rang out, Eunice's expression froze on her face.
Murder! He actually dared to kill someone! And in front of countless nobles!
Did he want to stamp on Mosgra's face?
But by doing this, does this guy want to die? !
Eunice suddenly thought of her brother who died inexplicably at the border.
Looking at Maria, the head maid, who had fallen to the ground, for some reason, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The Fourth Prince beside him had a gloomy expression and said nothing.
Obviously, none of them had expected that after crossing such a long distance from the border to the imperial capital, the boy's rumored lawless behavior would not be restrained at all.
Not only that, it was even more unscrupulous than they had imagined.
Just like that, the servants of the Mosgra family were executed in front of everyone.
However, things are far from over.
Just as everyone was looking at the motionless body lying on the ground in shock, another trembling servant was pushed up.
The moment the hood was taken off, the cold barrel of the gun was pressed against the back of his head again.
"explain."
Lin En was too lazy to talk nonsense and spoke briefly.
“.”
The man remained silent.
"Bang!"
Another corpse fell limply, brain matter and blood flowing like a stream, spreading in all directions.
"Next."
There was no emotion in Lynn's eyes, as if he had just killed a chicken.
Then, following his order, another servant was pushed up.
The moment the hood was taken off, the man struggled in panic: "I, I'll tell you! I'll tell you!!!"
“I know who ordered it.”
"Bang!"
To everyone's surprise, Lynn fired again.
"That's too long-winded. Next one."
Lynn waved the gun in his hand with some annoyance and gave orders to his servants.
The fourth prince’s eyelids twitched.
Eunice, who was standing by, was even paler and her lips were trembling slightly with anger.
The Mosgra family is currently in its rising period and is very influential in the imperial capital. The fact that the right to host this dinner was given to her is proof of this.
What do nobles care about most? Nothing more than power and respectability.
But now, this lawless madman is tearing off the fig leaf of their Mosgra family in public and executing her subordinates one by one.
Of course she didn't care whether these people were dead or alive.
But they also represent the face of the family.
At this moment, every shot Lynn fired seemed to hit her heart.
But right now, this damn guy is the one in control.
She really wanted to walk away and inform her family to send someone to deal with the matter, but if she really did that in public, the rumors circulating in Grostin would become more and more outrageous.
She could even imagine that the legitimate heir of the Mosgra family was frightened and fled after being returned for revenge by Barteleon.
If something like this really happened, it would bring shame to one's family.
“Stop it!”
Eunice raised her voice, trying to speak louder than the other person.
"Bang!"
However, this lawless guy opened fire again.
This time, the servant didn't even have time to say anything before he pulled the trigger.
Feeling the panicked and surprised looks around him, Lin En thought for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I'm getting used to it. Next one."
Yet there was no trace of apology in his eyes.
The continuous sound of gunfire was like a death warrant, weighing heavily on the hearts of the trapped servants.
Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore.
In order not to become the next victim, he collapsed and yelled, "Miss Eunice!" before he was even pushed over.
"It was Miss Eunice Mosgra who arranged for us to enter your mansion and secretly monitor Miss Eleanor and Marquis Bartleron's every move!"
He cried and begged, hoping that Lin En would spare his life.
"Nonsense!" Lin En suddenly raised his voice. "The Mosgra family has always been strict and upright. How could they interfere in the internal affairs of other families without authorization?!"
"Bang!"
That's right.
He fired again.
At this moment, the surrounding onlookers have already become numb.
Looking at the ground covered with blood, they stared at the young man on the field in silence, no longer knowing what he wanted to do.
If he didn't say it, they would die, but if he said it, they would still die. It seemed that he had left no way for these guys to survive.
"Next."
Lynn said calmly.
His voice was like the death warrant of the god of death.
Coupled with the previous few gunshots, the last bit of defense of all the kidnapped servants was instantly crushed.
In the face of death, they had long forgotten their loyalty to the Mosgra family.
"Please, please spare me, Master Lin En! I can also provide evidence! It was Miss Eunice who instructed us to do this!"
"She forced us to monitor Miss Eleanor and secretly controlled everything in the Bartleron family!"
"Yes, that's right! It's really her! Goddess of Fertility, I swear!"
"Please let me go!"
“Have mercy!!!”
For a moment, the servants who were prisoners broke down and cried, and one by one they restored the true situation of the matter.
"Shut up! You unreasonable and unruly people, all of you, go die!!!"
Hearing this, Eunice was almost furious.
She looked at Lin En hatefully, but she didn't expect that he, who had such murderous intent just now, now showed a calm expression and allowed such news to spread throughout the hall.
All the students looked at each other with different expressions.
Obviously, similar shady things happen all the time.
They had long guessed that such a thing might happen, but due to the tacit understanding among the nobles, no one had ever mentioned it.
This is the first time that the Mosguera family has been completely stripped of its veil and exposed to the sun.
“That’s about it.”

Finally, the Fourth Prince, who had been watching coldly, spoke.
Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, Your Highness, how should I evaluate you?"
"If it was His Highness Felit, he would have either stopped me right there with lightning speed from the beginning, or he would have stood by and watched coldly from beginning to end, completely disassociating himself from the matter."
"This is the first time I've seen such a smart move."
"However, since it is your highness's suggestion, I think it is necessary to adopt it."
"Who said you have a good father?"
A gloomy flash passed through the fourth prince's eyes.
This guy hit his sore spot very accurately.
The second prince, Ferit.
This is the pain point that he has always buried deep in his heart.
Just when the Fourth Prince subconsciously wanted to refute himself, he suddenly heard Lin En wave his hand and said, "Kill them all."
The next second, all the border servants drew their guns at the same time and pointed them at the servants' temples.
Then "bang bang bang bang--"
The continuous sound of gunfire resounded throughout the hall.
It was like... a complete massacre!
One by one, the bodies, still warm, fell limply to the ground, and blood flowed and gathered everywhere like a river. Then, in full view of everyone, it flowed towards the trembling Eunice and the fourth prince Joshua.
Blood flowed like a river! It really was a river of blood! Looking at the horrific scene before their eyes, everyone present was shocked.
I didn't expect that this guy who was expelled from the imperial capital would cause such a shocking drama as soon as he came back, as if he was going to make a big fuss.
The atmosphere fell into a long silence for a while.
Lynn took out a handkerchief from his bosom and slowly wiped his wrist which was splattered with blood, without saying a word.
But just by standing there, he brought unprecedented psychological pressure to everyone present.
demon.
This guy is the real devil! For a moment, this thought came to everyone's mind.
Eunice, who was not far away, saw the blood like a river gradually spreading to her feet. Through the bright blood, she vaguely saw her pale face and slightly trembling calves.
Am I afraid?
No, impossible!
Eunice took a deep breath and tried to look aloof and indifferent.
But at this moment, everyone could see that Lin En was the one in control, and she was just a weakling.
Finally, after a long time, the Fourth Prince broke the silence first.
"The Council Hall is holding a medal ceremony for the warriors who have returned triumphantly." He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I'm very curious, what kind of excuses are you going to come up with to defend yourself in front of the emperor later."
Obviously, as a subordinate of the Third Princess, everything that happened tonight might have already reached the ears of Saint Laurent VI.
One can imagine how furious he will be at that time.
"Your Highness, please don't worry about this." Looking at the white gloves stained with blood, Lin En slowly pulled them off. "Right now, there are more important things for me to deal with."
"Ms. Mosgra, where are you going?"
Lynn suddenly called out to Eunice who was about to leave.
Seeing this, her figure shuddered, and then she took a deep breath: "The dinner is over, I can go wherever I want."
"Lynn Bartleron, you did not restrict my right to move freely."
Hearing this, Lynn patted the little hands that were tightly hugging his waist.
Eleanor looked up immediately.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but also a bit of pleasure.
At the same time, I was worried about the storm that my brother would soon face.
She looked timidly into her brother's reassuring eyes.
"Has she been bullying you in the academy?"
Lynn patted her little head.
Eleanor was silent for a long time, shook her head gently, and subconsciously tucked her wrists into her sleeves.
She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to her brother.
It's good enough that the family can be reunited.
But Lynn was unwilling to let them go.
Seeing Eleanor like this, he frowned slightly, then gently grasped her slender wrist, lifted her sleeve and took a look.
Looking at the densely packed pinholes above, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin En's eyes.
He slowly raised his head and cast a gloomy look at the Fourth Prince and Eunice.
very good.
You are very good.
Feeling the sign of the coming storm, Eunice subconsciously took a half step back; "What are you going to do?!"
“.”
Lynn didn't answer, but threw something at her.
It was a white glove that had just been taken off his hand.
Looking at the white gloves that fell to the ground, Eunice suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
The next second, the bad premonition came true.
"I, Lynn Bartleron, in the name of the current head of the Bartleron family, challenge Eunice Mosgra, the heir of the Mosgra family, to a life-and-death duel."
"In order to defend the family's honor, you will pick up the gloves without hesitation, right?"
Liar swallower, start.
The invisible power of lies penetrated her body and instantly affected Eunice's thoughts.
That's right.
I am the heir of the Mosgra family! How could I back down just because of the second son of a ruined family? !
My sister Irina is the youngest Valkyrie in the empire. As a relative, I naturally cannot hold her back!
What's more, this guy has already been a useless person!
All kinds of thoughts come to mind.
The next second, in the astonished eyes of the Fourth Prince, she slowly squatted down and picked up the gloves on the ground.
This is the most traditional and oldest way of dueling in the empire.
But it has been passed down to this day.
For those great nobles that the High Court or officials could not handle, the older generation would often fight for the honor of their family, turning all conflicts into a life-and-death duel.
Glostin even has a special dueling arena for the nobles to handle the matter.
It just needs to go through a strict procedural review, and a sacred duel that cannot be disturbed by outsiders can take effect.
The conditions are too rudimentary right now and it is not legal.
But the problem is, Eunice accepted it.
The next second, Eunice came to her senses and suddenly felt an unprecedented absurdity.
Why would I agree to a duel with him?! This doesn't make sense, what on earth was I thinking?!
Feeling the admiring gazes coming from all directions, Eunice suddenly felt that she was about to lose her balance.
She held onto the table beside her and took a deep breath: "This has no legal effect. I can choose to end the duel at any time. You..."
Just as Eunice was trying to find some plausible excuses for herself.
A burst of hurried footsteps was heard again.
Everyone looked up subconsciously, and saw a group of knights in armor and weapons barging into the guild hall in an extremely rude manner.
Leading the group was a tall figure covered in silver armor, looking mighty and tall.
Lynn couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
The unexpected arrival of people disrupted his plans somewhat.
Then, in the surprised gaze of everyone, the silver-armored man who looked like the leader of the Knights stepped forward quickly.
Looking at the three figures in front of him, he said calmly, "Lynn Bartleron, Miss Eunice, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the Council Hall learned about what happened here. His Majesty was very angry and ordered me to come here to stop this farce and bring you all to see him."
"So, please come with me, three of you."
