Sere's words made Tasia fall into deep thought, and after a while she whispered:
"There are currently no problems with His Majesty Mathias' governance."
"Probably... Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to see me for?"
Tasia blinked.
"Can't I be by your side if I have nothing to do?"
"It just doesn't suit your personality."
"I received inside information."
When talking about internal information, a mysterious expression appeared on Tasia's face.
"The Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey is coming."
Cere raised an eyebrow.
"serious?"
"Nine times out of ten."
"Well... I saw news a few months ago that the Maelstrom expedition led by the Astral Knights was a complete victory. This chapter leader led the imperial army to defeat an extremely powerful heretical force, and also went to Terra
Accepted the award from the Council of High Lords... If you can see such a legend, you will be really lucky. If you can fight side by side with such a leader, you will die without regrets... My father often told me
Thinking back to the deeds of Grand Duke Olga leading the family to fight together with the war group, especially the battle on the Pai Mao Star, it was a direct confrontation with the most powerful heretic group, the Black Legion, led by the terrifying great traitor, but even such a heretic
I also scurried under the wings of Gray Eagle, and I dreamed countless times that I participated in the siege of Attica, sitting in the Mechanical Throne, destroying groups of heretical enemies with artillery fire."
As he said this, he smacked his lips with unsatisfied thoughts.
"It's such a pity that such a battle has been missed... I feel heartbroken when I think that I have at least four years before I can become a knight and participate in the battle."
"No wonder they all call you a fighter, but why didn't the family participate in this Maelstrom Expedition?"
"It's probably because the number of people is too small and it won't have much effect. I heard that there is also a Titan Legion participating in this expedition..."
At this time, the team was about to enter the inner city of the capital, which is the aristocratic district. This is also the only place in the city with a protective wall. When the team entered the shooting range of automatic defense weapons, the horn on the top of the huge alloy gate rang loudly, and then
The door slowly opened.
There are eighteen such doors, but the nobles have become accustomed to using flying tools to leave the city rather than passing through the "civilian areas", so these doors are rarely used.
Just when the door was completely opened, there was a rush of hooves. Ten students turned their heads and saw another loose group rushing out from the street. They were also students of the Knight Academy, wearing exaggerated costumes of various colors.
The bodies are decorated with beautiful precious metal ornaments and gemstones, and each person has a sword at his waist.
The leader is a big man, wearing a black knight uniform with a large number of black pearls arranged in rows and engraved with complex scorpion patterns. His skin shows a healthy bronze color, his face is cold, and his eyes are narrowed into slits.
As if pressed together by his eyebrows, his chin is narrow and pointed, and his yellow hair is tied back.
The beast of burden he rides on is quite huge, and it is also covered in armor with shining golden rings.
When the man saw Tasia, he showed an unabashed greedy expression, and Tasia immediately had disgust written on her face.
When he came to the door, the man raised a hand and ordered his followers to stand still. Then he jerked the reins and drove the beasts of burden to face Sere and his party on the opposite side.
He held down his sword and raised his chin slightly, looking like an out-and-out prince. The guards guarding near the gate bowed to him, while he looked at everyone on the opposite side with appropriate contempt.
Gonzalo Dupondlin, the second son of the Archduke Ofor, the current number two figure in the family, is also an extremely cruel and shameless scumbag that Serre knows. It is hard to imagine that this guy who is 1.8 meters tall is only 15 years old.
A year ago, he broke into a small businessman's home at night and snatched away a pair of twin daughters who were said to be very beautiful and were only fourteen or fifteen years old. The businessman tried to find a law enforcement agency to report the crime the next day, but was found dead tragically in an alley.
Half a year later, the poor twins were found hanging next to their father's grave, and both had signs of miscarriage -
However, this matter was something Sere only learned about when he secretly heard his father complaining to his mother at night. The adopted sons of Grand Duke Olga may have no problem fighting, but they were all orphans in the past, and suddenly they had huge power that many people had.
They are lost and have not learned the responsibilities of aristocrats. The spectrum of aristocrats is laid out in different ways. Moreover, because of their tragic childhood experiences, they are generally very tolerant to their children, even to the point of indulgence, and even moved out of the country because of this.
This is the strange argument that I am a hero and my son is a hero.
Gonzalo is the most typical example and consequences. He did such evil things, but in the end he was only given twenty symbolic lashes. This is also one of the things that Serre was dissatisfied with the Supreme King Mathias.
, No matter what achievements the Archduke Offul had, he should not be giving favors outside the law like this. This even loses the most basic fairness of the knight!
Serre restrained his beast of burden and blocked Gonzalo's aggressive sight with his body. This bastard had been flattering Tasia and was still stalking him. If Tasia hadn't been a member of the family,
The apple of the eye of the equally powerful Earl Edson, this guy may not be so "gentle".
"Cotton Boy."
Gonzalo frowned rudely and did not even say Sere's name, showing his arrogance beyond measure.
"I want to talk to Ms. Tasia, please move your vile body away."
Cere ignored it completely.
"Are you deaf?"
Serre turned around pretending to be surprised, pointed at the beast of burden under Gonzalo, and said to Tasia:
"Oh my god, I thought it was talking."
"You're looking for death! Cotton boy!"
The angry Gonzalo screamed and tried to draw his sword.
"you sure?"
Sere was not intimidated, an unpleasant smile appeared on his face.
"I said after the last duel that I will not show mercy the second time. As long as you dare to draw your sword at me, I will cut off your hand. I will not be as gentle as your father, Gonzalo.
"
Gonzalo tensed his muscles instantly, holding the scabbard with one hand and grabbing the hilt with the other hand, and most of the sword had been drawn out.
Cere stared at him coldly.
"Are you sure? If you are sure, then throw your glove over, I will catch it, and then one of us will fall in a pool of blood, ushering in an ending worthy of a knight's status."
His voice still sounded a little immature like that of a 14-year-old boy, but his murderous intent was as strong as a rock.
This is not a bluff, Sere has indeed killed someone. One day not long after his 13th birthday, he encountered a robbery while going shopping in the city. Two robbers beat a woman and tried to take her away.
They carried knives in their bags, but knights and nobles could also carry deadly weapons in the city. Serre first shot one person to death, and then stabbed the other to death with a sword.
Therefore, everyone in the academy knew that he had killed someone. Although death was not a rare scene for these noble children, there were very few who had actually killed someone themselves.
At this time, Gonzalo was in trouble. Everyone was looking at him, but he clenched his teeth and froze in the saddle, like a statue. The hand holding the sword hilt was trembling slightly, as if the opponent's sword was touching him.
