Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 229 Face Slap

His Royal Highness Oggsello was still in a good mood when he received the news that Earl Norton had come to meet him. Five years ago, he used the Norton family's northbound convoy to cleverly turned over and regained the ruling power of the Antinac Kingdom. Then he threw the huge refugees to the northbound convoy as a package, and then used the convoy to clean the kingdom. The nobles who did not listen to their orders, the materials and possessions obtained from them enabled them to reorganize the Royal Guards. In the end, with the cooperation of the Norton family, they fought a series of brilliant battles, which made him famous and laid the foundation for the now powerful Antinac kingdom.

Today's Second Highness is no longer the poor creature who relied on the unarmed soldiers of the Norton Family Northbound Convoy. He now holds a 300,000 army, and with every move he can set off a huge storm in Galinthia. All the nobles of the kingdom humbled under his feet and obeyed. Therefore, even the Norton family far in the north, should be like those nobles in the kingdom, and respectfully abide by his instructions.

However, the second majesty was brilliant. He soberly recalled the invincible scene of the Norton family convoy. There is such a powerful family-armed territorial nobleman who must be fully respected to make them willing to use it for themselves.

Especially when I received a tip some time ago, it seems that the Iberian Kingdom and the aristocrats in the North have had a great conflict and even fought a battle. It’s just that the Madras Principality has no news, and the Meyrin Principality. The news from the side was also vague, and it happened to ask the Earl of Norton, perhaps he could use the powerful force of the Norton family to increase his certainty of victory in the battle of unifying the empire.

So His Royal Highness ordered to arrange a grand banquet to welcome the Earl of Norton, to show that he valued the Norton family, and to let all the nobles in the imperial capital attend the banquet. This is also to show off that the nobles of the whole kingdom are like him. He is united in his command and ready to unify the empire at any time.

His Royal Highness believes that Earl Norton will be convinced for his ambitions, willing to be a pawn, and make his due contribution to the unification of the empire.

With the addition of the Norton family, he has a few more unexpected choices in the future strategy. He will make the powerful Norton family armament an extraordinary soldier, breaking into the enemy's center, and attracting the attention of the enemy's main force. At that time, he can use this opportunity to surround the enemy outside and let the Norton family arms come to the center, so that he can annihilate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop and achieve the greatest victory with a small loss.

Of course, the casualties of the Norton family's armed forces are not in the calculation of the Second Highness. As the lower lord of the Antinac royal family, they should have the consciousness of doing their best for the royal family. This is their obligation and responsibility.

The script has been written, but what the Second Royal Highness did not expect was that Lorist did not act according to the steps he arranged. To put it awkwardly, Lorist's meeting this time was here to smash the scene.

The place where the banquet was arranged was in a palace in the royal court, but there was a hint of twilight and depression in the splendor. Leaning on a railing to hang the empire's former glory days, recalling the current state of fragmentation, can't help but feel a lot of emotion...

His Royal Highness very kindly introduced Lorester to the various nobles, ministers and his trusted generals who came to the banquet. Lorist met many acquaintances, such as that beautiful male David, and Princess Kerry with a beautiful and frosty face. Of course, they would all be wearing clothes. There are also several corps leaders who have participated in the paradise party who have been recognized by Lorist because of their size or voice movements.

I have seen them without clothes, and look at their serious appearance at this time. Lorist really wants to laugh. There is a smile on his face, just to the people introduced by His Highness. Nodded and signaled that they passed by like the wind, not caring about their identity and power. Even though it was Princess Kerry whom the Second Highness introduced emphatically, Lorist pretended not to see the princess handing her hand over to prepare for the kiss. He nodded lightly, turned the direction and left on his own.

Lorester's behavior made the nobles present dumbfounded, and they didn't understand why the earl from the north was so arrogant and rude. Princess Kerry's face was red with anger. She had never encountered such an embarrassment. Fortunately, the beautiful man David saw the opportunity quickly. He stepped forward and took the princess's bare hand and kissed it lightly, so that the princess would not stretch out his hand. No one kissed.

His Royal Highness did not pay attention to this episode. He just exchanged a few words with a nobleman next to him and turned his head to find that Lorist was walking away and was admiring the murals on the walls of the palace. These are all descriptions of the great achievements of the former Emperors of Christen. Either the enemy was smashed to death, or the Emperor Christen was commanding Ruoding on the battlefield.

His Royal Highness hurriedly walked over and said, "Why, are you interested in these murals? Soon we will also accomplish the same great cause as the emperors of the past. I will also paint all the soldiers who made great achievements on the walls as a commemoration... "

Lorist smiled: "His Royal Highness, I just sigh when I look at these murals, I will become famous and withered..."

One will become famous? What do you mean? His Royal Highness was thinking about it, and a court steward came to report that the banquet was ready, please take your seat first.

The palace feast is not the kind of long table that ordinary nobles entertain guests, but a split-table system, with a small long table for two, for example, a noble brought his wife to arrange a table. Single-handedly like Lorist, his master arranges for a distinguished lady to accompany him.

As a guest from afar, and to show his goodwill to the Norton family, Lorist was arranged to be the chief on the right of the Second Highness. What Lorist did not expect was that the female companion arranged for him by the Second Highness was not the cousin Christia he thought, but the princess Kerry with cold eyebrows and angry eyes.

what happened? Lorist was stunned for a moment, but kept silent, bowed slightly to Princess Carey with a smile, and sat down openly, and then heard a disdainful "humph" coming from the side.

The musicians changed a piece of music and began to play a relaxed and melodious piece to cheer the banquet. His Royal Highness raised the golden cup in his hand, wishing the emperor, and then a long talk about the past and looking forward to the future. Lorist shook his head, thinking that His Royal Highness would say it nicely, but forgot the most important thing. One point, that is based on the present. People who don't even know they are sitting on the crater that is about to erupt have what qualifications to look to the future.

"...In the near future, in the great cause of the unified empire, I look forward to your great achievements. The royal family will not hesitate to award titles and territories. The future of your family depends on the performance of the monarchs." Finally finished the long nonsense, and then there were three cheers of Long live Antinac, and a more radical shouting of the name of the second Highness, Long live Ogsero, followed by everyone drinking a glass of wine, and the banquet officially began.

This royal-made lamb sausage looks good, first try to pad the belly, and I have been a little hungry with the second highness for a long time. Lorist picked up the fork and skewed a piece of red lamb sausage into his mouth when he heard the sound of Princess Kerry's silver bell coming from nearby.

"Earl Norton, I saw you shaking your head disapprovingly when your Highness was speaking just now. Do you have any comments or dissatisfaction with what your Highness said?"

"Uh..." Lorester almost choked, the most poisonous woman's heart, but I am a little bit contemptuous of the princess who has a watery character. I have seen princesses who are naked and staged in public, so I naturally lose respect, so He didn't want to kiss the hand that had been touched by a man. Princess Carey remembered this point of rudeness, and embarrassed herself at the beginning of the banquet.

When the princess spoke, everyone listened. Lorist immediately realized that he had become the center of attention.

There is no good feast. Lorist stood up, without even looking at Princess Kerry, walked to the aisle in the middle, and bowed to the second Highness above: "Your Highness, I am here to meet Your Highness this time. The first is to express the Norton family. Loyalty and loyalty have brought worship to the royal family. Second, I have a few questions to ask your Highness..."

"You said, what's the problem?" His Highness was a little impatient, what needs to be explained in public? What matters now is that the Norton family first agree to how to cooperate with their plans for the unification of the empire.

"His Royal Highness, I have arrested a few people, and I need to bring them in for your Royal Highness to have a look at. Only when His Royal Highness has seen me first can I deal with them." Lorist said.

His Royal Highness became curious and nodded and said, "Then bring it in."

Faria brought in two guards with the eight children of the noble family captured from Wanghai Manor. During this period, these eight spoiled children of the noble family had suffered enough, let alone the first night being drawn. It’s a common thing to eat a bowl of wild vegetable soup with black bread the next day. If one is not good, it will be a fat beating. All of them are unkempt, trembling, and unreasonable. They will see them as soon as they come in. The relatives were sitting in a guesthouse, crying and crying for father and mother.

Well, this feast was stirred into a pot of porridge. His Highness's face was as deep as water: "Earl Norton, can you tell me what's going on?"

Lorist asked: "His Royal Highness, is Hilovas the territory of the Norton family?"

The Second Royal Highness was startled: "Of course it is the territory of the Norton family, there is no doubt about it."

"So these eight noble children occupied the Wanghai Manor on Hilovas Island for five years, and expelled the people from my family territory who were sent to manage the manor, forcing me to come from the north to deal with this. I want to ask these eight families, are they going to declare war with our Norton family? Our family armed forces are ready, and I want to replicate the scene that swept the three provinces of the kingdom when the convoy returned to the north." Lorist declared loudly without shame.

The anger of the second highness came up immediately, Earl Norton, are you here to make trouble? Don't be so arrogant, even if you are in charge. If you have something to say, do you think it will work? Are you still the weak and feeble royal family of the Andinac Kingdom a few years ago? Even if the old convoy is armed again, facing the 300,000 army in your hand, do you want to run wild again?

An old man stood next to him: "Earl Norton, children have always been arrogant and disobedient, and ran to the adult's territory in private and caused a lot of trouble for the adults. Please ask the Lord to forgive them this time for their young and ignorant. Now your Highness’s army is preparing to unify the empire. At this moment, we, as the lords of the kingdom, should not cause another disturbance. We should unite as one to the outside world, serve the empire for His Highness and dedicate our own strength..."

His Royal Highness almost couldn't help but admire the case. Look at how well others have said this, and the truth is so clear. It is not that you are afraid of the armed forces of the Norton family, but that we are doing our best for the unification of the empire and have no time to talk to you. See how others understand things...

"Who are you?" Lorist asked.

"I am the Marquis of Reid, and that is the incompetent boy in our family, please let the Count Lord raise your hand to let them go." The old man said.

"His Royal Highness, what do you think should be done?" Lorist turned and asked the Second Highness.

The second hall said without expression: "They are all kids messing around, I think Lord Norton doesn't have to worry about them."

"Very well, then I will let them go for the sake of your highness." Lorester was kind enough and told Fareya to release the eight noble children.

So these eight noble children went straight to their relatives, crying and crying about the abuse they had suffered, and shouting that their family members would retaliate against them.

A fool who doesn't have eyes and doesn't look at what kind of occasion it is here, do you still treat yourself as the darling of your family? Sure enough, several of them suffered a big mouth from their parents on the spot and were ordered to go home and think behind closed doors.

His Royal Highness was about to say a few words to slow down the atmosphere, but he heard Lorist shout: "Bring it here."

and also? Everyone opened their eyes and wanted to see whose turn is unlucky now...

This time it was El who came in. He brought two guards with the captured golden knight Fevenmant.

"His Royal Highness, this is the Golden Knight Fivenmant, the commander of the 3rd Corps of the 1st Legion under your preparation. He took a hundred soldiers to Shiratori Town on Lower Wailovas Island, and hung the mayor to extortion money. , Was stolen by our people. I want to ask your second highness, is this an invasion or a private act?"

With a "bang", the Second Highness slammed the table and stood up: "Very well, Fevinmant, prepare the First Legion to report that you have been missing for many days. It turns out that you went to the Earl of Norton's territory to be a robber. Come! Come here, push Fevinmant out of me to draw a hundred whips, strip the corps commander, and stay in the third corps to perform meritorious service and see the after-effects!" The second highness quickly cut the mess, and the decision was made at once. Fevenmant's disposal plan did not give Lorist a chance to respond.

On the day, there is no reason, Lorist cursed secretly, held high and lightly, seemingly severely punished, but in fact he was lenient. Just letting this golden knight leave Lorist was very unwilling. Very well, if you do the same with the next Viscount Aslan, labor and capital will turn your face on the spot.

"Next!" Lorist shouted angrily.

His Royal Highness is trembling, and what else?

Viscount Aslan was brought in by two guards led by Jim, which caused a sensation on the spot. Is this monster covered with chicken and duck feathers a human? It took a long time to recognize that this was Viscount Aslan, the tax inspector of the Second Highness.

When the Second Highness recognized that the man lying on the ground was Viscount Aslan, he couldn't help but get angry: "Earl Norton, why do you treat a nobleman like this, or the tax inspector I appointed? Did you fail Andy? The royal family of Nak is in the eye!"

"His Royal Highness, I asked you just now. You said that Hilovas is the territory of the Norton family. Then His Royal Highness should be very clear about the income of Hilovas as a prince. Isn’t it just two thousand gold? Is it the tax inspector appointed by you? I thought he was the new lord of Hilovas that you appointed? Why should he collect nearly six thousand golden fords from Hilovas for three consecutive years. Not only did all kinds of miscellaneous taxes be increased arbitrarily, but the island almost caused civil unrest. This is a provocation to our Norton family!

I really want to know that on the island, he has to charge the tithe that our family was unable to invite in the old northern territory due to the disconnection of the border~www.readwn.com~ Is this instructed by His Highness? He also threatened that if he refused to invite this tax, his Royal Highness would raise an army of 300,000 blood to wash Hilovas Island. Is this true? Will your Highness conquer our Norton family? Precisely because he is the tax inspector of His Highness, we deliberately brought him here to ask questions, otherwise we would have hanged him on the island long ago. "Lorister fought against each other, not afraid of the anger of the second highness.

The second majesty understands it now. Lorester is not here to make trouble, he is here to slap her face, but the second majesty is thinking, talent, Viscount Aslan can squeeze from the barren island of Silova to six Qian Jinfu, but what he received was only 30% of the previous two thousand Jinfu, which is six hundred. This guy must beat him fiercely to let him spit out the embezzled money and let him monitor it later. He collects taxes, so he doesn't have to worry about the huge military expenses.

But now what should I say to Lorist so that he can spare Viscount Aslan. After all, Viscount Aslan had done too much and had touched the dignity of the Norton family. His Royal Highness knew very well that if Viscount Aslan was hanged, he would give the Norton family an explanation, but the problem was that he wanted to save Viscount Aslan's life.

"You dare to treat insulting my brother like this, our Aslan family and the Norton family are not at the same time!" A sudden roar sounded in the palace.
