Temple Sword

Chapter 148 Big Family

"Forgive me, my lord!" he cried in horror, "my name is not Traco, but the rest are true!"

"The rest?" Muladen asked with a smile, clearly enjoying the torture. "About that commoner woman, or your adventure?"

"I'm looking for a new master," Laszlo admitted quickly, jettisoning his long-crafted role, "I was born in Slavonia and became a Knight of the Knights Templar. , and then the court knights,"

He knew very well that his life depended on whether the governor believed his story, "The king made me his servant, but he quickly abandoned me. I became a pawn in Timisoara, I was betrayed I don't want to be loyal to such a royal family anymore..."

Mu Laden looked deeply into Laszlo's eyes, thought for a while, and then made a gesture, his subordinates released Laszlo's hand, and the dagger no longer pierced so deeply.

"Why did you lie about your name as Traco?" the governor asked, staring at him. "Why didn't you give your real name?"

"Because I was afraid they were looking for me," Laszlo admitted, "I killed two guards in Timisoara and some peasants before that.

I figured that if they were after Laszlo, I would be safer as Traco, Second Noble. "

"Laszlo..." the Croatian governor savored the name. "Why should I trust Ni? You betrayed your king, you escaped as a murderer...

Did you know that my family supported the Anjou family before King Charles landed in Split?

My father supported Carlo Matero against Andrea III the Venetian after the death of Laszlo IV, who was the first to kneel in front of 12-year-old Charlie Robert after the death of Andrea people!
I know this because I was there too.Are you not afraid that I will put you in a coffin and send you back to Timisoara? "

"I have wisdom, my lord," Laszlo said sincerely, giving up any pretense, "I also have ears, and I know that from the beginning, the nobles in the south supported the Anjou family only in name,

I have heard more than one time around King Charles, whether it is the Soubis family, the Babonik family or other families, they have always done one thing in front of him and another behind his back...

I know, my lord viceroy, that you and Charlie are only friends when we are in the same room, and there is a reason why I have come to Skradin to start a new life. "

"How do I know if you're lying again?" the Croatian governor asked with a smile.

"You can't be sure." Laszlo smiled, regaining a little confidence before. "But you can make me prove it, that I am not a traitor, that I serve faithfully those who respect me.

There's a reason for my swagger in the city these past two weeks, and I hope you've noticed me and been curious about me.From the beginning, I intended to serve you, Governor Muraden. "

Hearing this, the leader of the Subis family smiled again and nodded in satisfaction.He beckoned, and his men sheathed the dagger.

"My dear master, how is His Majesty King Charles?" Muladen asked, helping Laszlo up from the chair, wiping the blood on his neck with a piece of linen,

"You know, I have always been his loyal subject, and I have governed Croatia in a way that does not disappoint him. His friends are my friends, and his court knights can of course stay in Skradin."

"He's fine, Governor Muladen," Laszlo bowed to him, "and I see what you mean."

"Very good," the gray-haired man patted Laszlo on the shoulder, "You know, for those who know me and serve me, I am not only their master and commander, but also their family .

I will bring into my family people I trust, am I right, Demutra? He looked at the man with the dagger and asked, "Is that so, Ander?" ' He looked at the other man.

The two nodded and did not speak.Muladen drew Laszlo to him and whispered in his ear:
"We are all one big family here and I am not just the Governor of Croatia for those who know how to serve and what to do when.

I am like a wise, caring father to my family.If you do become our friend, Laszlo, then maybe one day you too can be part of our family and share a father's love.

But you have to prove that you have the qualifications, you understand? "

Laszlo looked into the governor's eyes and said in the most serious and sincere voice: "I understand, Lord Muradon."

"Very well," said the governor, smiling, "tell me, do you have a place to sleep here?"
