Ed's words were like a bombshell, instantly shocking everyone present. Baron Farmien looked angry, thinking this was a provocation from Ed. He coldly ordered: "Execute him, and be extremely cautious, don't let this matter get out!"
Ed felt a chill in his heart. He knew what fate he would face, but there was no fear in his eyes. Ke Nan stood aside, his face as pale as paper, his heart filled with helplessness and anger. He could not accept such an outcome and could not bear to see his friend being executed like this.
"Let's see who dares!" Konan suddenly roared, and his body emanated strong magic power. Like a mad beast, he drew out the guards' swords, knocked down all the guards who were suppressing Ed, and stood in front of Ed, roaring.
"Konan, you are rebelling!" Baron Famen shouted angrily. He didn't expect that his youngest son would stand up and resist at this time.
"Ed and I have become nothing more than friends. What's wrong with that?" Conan's voice was firm and powerful. He pointed at his father fearlessly, his heart filled with anger and indomitable spirit.
"You think the world of the nobility is too simple!" Baron Famion responded angrily, his face almost bursting with anger, "The complexity of this is far beyond your imagination! If it weren't for your family taking on this complexity, you wouldn't have the chance to become the son of a noble and enjoy all kinds of privileges while growing up."
Konan did not accept this at all and angrily said, "What's the point of abandoning the privileges that come with friends? I'd rather not have them!"
Baron Famion's expression became even darker. "Do you think this lowly commoner really wants to be friends with you? You should know that there is no shortage of low-class people in this world who want to suck the marrow of the nobles. You cannot understand the greed of low-class people, so why can you trust him so much! What proof can you show that you and Ed are true friends?"
What proof? How can I prove it? Conan's already inadequate brain was simply unable to process such complex information. He looked at Ed, then at his father.
"Konan, you've grown up and you even dare to point a sword at me. I have to say, you really surprised me. It must be this damn servant who has influenced you. Don't worry, when I execute him, you will still return to your original appearance." Baron Famien waved his hand, and the guards around him approached Konan, trying to subdue him.
However, Konan held the sword in his hand and shouted, "Get out of here!"
"You have to understand! He is just a civilian!"
Baron Famion's words hurt Conan deeply. In his heart, Ed was not just a commoner, but someone with whom he could talk with a sword.
Isn't this enough for him to get along with Ed as a friend?
Konan's idea was correct, but he thought too simply about this identity. He did not understand that nobles valued status and reputation. They would not hesitate to eradicate anyone or anything that posed a threat to their status. To nobles, civilians were consumables, not even as important as insects.
To put it bluntly, Conan did not have enough awareness this year. He did not know how much burden Ed had to bear as a friend. He did not even think this through. He only knew that yelling in such a crisis situation, thinking that it was simply a pipe dream to solve the problem.
But what can he do? He had no choice because he simply couldn't think about such a complicated thing, and the whole thing was caused by him. It was he who proposed to be friends with Ed. He didn't want to be that despicable person, nor did he want to be a coward.
In fact, the entire Baron family likes Conan very much, not only because he is the youngest, but also because he has a pure heart with no hypocrisy in his enthusiasm.
Abandoning a friend is equivalent to abandoning another self!
Kenan didn't need to think at all. He raised his sword and challenged his father's authority for the first time. He shouted, "I don't need proof. I believe in him. This is the best proof of our friendship!"
"Stop messing around! This is no longer a verbal dispute between you and your son! This matter concerns the prosperity of our family. Even if it is my children, I can directly expel them from the family!" Baron Famien roared angrily.
However, what Baron Famion saw was Conan's poor noble etiquette. He looked firm and said without any hesitation, "It's okay. If this can protect my friends, I can leave with a smile!"
"Shut up, brat! If you really think that kid is your friend, then you're risking your life right here!"
However, what responded to Baron Famion was the ruthless blade in Conan's hand, and the sharp iron sword was wrapped with surging magic power.
Baron Famion couldn't believe that his son was actually willing to raise his sword against him for that lowly servant.
But Konan himself knew that what he raised was not a sword, but his own faith and his sincerity! It is the heavy weight of friendship!
"What kind of friend is he? Is it because you can't catch up with the other noble children, so you keep this servant by your side as a psychological comfort?" Famion was still making excuses for his son.
"You are wrong, father! Ed is a better person than me! Even my brother is not as good as him, and I... will help him to shine in a higher place!"
Baron Famion angrily rebuked Ed, "It's you, you must have bewitched my son! I'm going to kill you!"
"Then kill me first!" Conan stood in front of Ed without retreating.
However, at this moment, Ed grabbed Conan's shoulders, smiled and shook his head, "That's enough, Conan, I don't want you to bear all this, I will take on what I should bear myself."
In fact, since the night when the sword fight ended, he knew that one day he would have to make a choice between his friends and his own life.
Now...even if he had to lose his life, he didn't care, because he didn't regret being friends with Ke Nan at all.
Ed's words were sincere and without any hypocrisy, which made Conan completely unable to hold back, because this was what he wanted to say. He looked at his father and shouted angrily, "It doesn't matter even if you kick me out of the family! If the world can't accommodate us, then I will rebel against the whole world!"
"Bastard!" Baron Farmien firmly believed that it was Ed who bewitched Conan, otherwise how could he say such outrageous words. He punched out and knocked Conan away before he could react.
Then Baron Farmien drew out the sword of his guard and slashed at Ed's neck. He firmly believed that as long as he killed Ed, everything would be over!
"Ed!!!" Conan was furious at the scene in front of him, but Ed looked at Conan with warm eyes, as if he was prepared. Ed was laughing, a laugh from the bottom of his heart.
