Chapter 3 The Initiator (Part 1)(1/2)

 The important officials and lords in the hall began to whisper, and many even smiled.

"Good girl," Duke Coulon smiled and whispered to the "unpopular" Duke Farkenhoz beside him: "Have you learned the sarcastic tongue from you?"

"Poisonous tongue? Where," Cyrill Farkenhoz, who was giggling, raised his lips and said quietly: "But in my opinion, this is a natural ability for women."

In the hall, Russell's face stopped at first, then his eyes were angry: "Use this trick to disagree with the monarch and ministers of Exeter? It's really the imperial style of Stars - just like you shamelessly murdering Prince Moral of our country!"

Tailes' heart beats violently: The authentic food is here!

Hearing this, most of the Star Nobles in the hall showed unwillingness and anger!

But several people began to think deeply.

"The duke is really super reactionary. He has unknowingly shot back a sword." Before Tails could react, Kilbert smiled in praise: "Your Highness, Duke Tbuck's sword has already achieved success."

Tailes turned to look at the beautiful duchess.

Leanna seemed to feel Tailes' gaze, turned her head, and her eyes stabbed like a blade!

Tailes shuddered, smiled quickly, and then looked around as if nothing had happened - it seemed that he had just accidentally swept the Dukewoman.

Kilbert chuckled: "This is not a simple provocation, but to test whether the will and purpose of King Nunn and Grand Duke Heisha in this crisis are consistent - this is very important!"

Tailes' eyebrows thumped!

Kilbert said patiently: "And Russell hurriedly brought back the topic is an answer - obviously he himself knew that he could no longer be entangled in the topic of which is stronger, King Nunn or Lord Heisha."

"In the first round of sword competition, he was already the one who was forced to draw the sword first."

Tailes suddenly realized and remembered Kilbert's inference in the carriage before - the assassination of the Exx envoy was also the wish of some people in their own country. It seems...

Although there is no evidence.

But no matter what...

At least in the eyes of many people, the conflict between the Grand Duke of Heisha and King Nunn is indeed quite large.

The vision returns to the hall.

"We, the prince who murdered yours?" Nanthiste's one-eyed dragon snorted: "Even a fool can see that the assassination of your mission is a conspiracy to instigate war between the two countries - does Exter like to be used as a sword envoy? Even my hunting dog is not as obedient as you!"

"Stars, do you think we will care whether you are innocent or the messenger?" Russell said slowly.

"Since you are not interested in the truth - why are you still here? Just cut off a few heads on the street and return them to King Nunn?" Duke Zhan's leader from Nan'an sneered.

Upon hearing this, rage and hatred emerged in Russell's eyes. Under the gaze of the nobles in the hall, he suddenly stepped forward, and raised the red dragon's fire-lacquered scroll with his right hand!

On the throne, Kessel V held his hands tightly, his chin slightly lowered, and his eyes were gloomy and deep.

"No matter who despicable murder of His Highness the Prince - we will tear him to pieces! Exter will uphold justice and do not have to deal with others!"

"But our prince! Exter has ranks the king, the only son and heir of the Grand Duke of Longxiao City! He died in the territory of your stars!"

Russell opened his arms and turned around suddenly, his fiery eyes swept hard over the lords, nobles or officials in each hall.

"His last blood fell on the land of the stars, and the last breath was the air of the stars, and the last sight of the stars - he came to the stars with a good mission, but you failed to protect him!"

"Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was your incompetence and indulgence that killed him!"

"That's enough!"

"Stars must be responsible and pay the price!"

Russell's eyes widened, and he tore open the seal of the Red Dragon Fire Paint - pulling the scroll apart!

"Exter and King Nunn must get explanations from Xingchen!"

The six dukes frowned almost at the same time!

Tayles' pupils shrank, and he saw that there was no signature or seal on the bottom of the scroll full of text.

All there is is a handprint.

Bright red handprints.

Could it be—King Nunn’s bloody handprint?

The hall suddenly became an uproar again!

"He didn't have an autograph or a stamp. I watched him with my own eyes, cut my palm open and pressed my palm print!"

"This is King Nunn's anger and despair! Do you understand! Star Man?"

Russell's last few words were almost spit out with gritted teeth.

The uproar in the hall began to slowly diminish.

Tayles had only heard of Exter's mission assassination. The strange and exotic prince seemed to be unpainful to him - but now, he finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

Until the heavy voice of the Supreme King sounded again:

"I understand King Nunn's anger and despair - believe me, I have experienced that feeling - and Xingchen will never escape his responsibility."

Kathel said lightly.

One-eyed Longgu Side gritted his back teeth imperceptibly.

Is this the King - is going to surrender?

How is it possible? If you don’t pay enough money and cut a piece of meat from the north, how could the evil dragon in the north be satisfied?

If he surrendered, Kessel V would not only gain a reputation of being weak and incompetent, but also be destined to have worse relations with the already dissatisfied Northland.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Val Aaronde opposite, but the other party in military uniform just frowned and said nothing.

It was like the calm before the volcano erupted.

"Thank you for your understanding, your Majesty," Russell put down his hand and said coldly: "Yes, I remembered it. You, haha, of course you can understand."

Many people show strange looks.

But Kesel ignored his secretly sarcastic words and said directly: "Save nonsense - what are the conditions for King Nunn?"

Under everyone's complicated gaze, Russell snorted coldly, pulled the scroll again, and began to read aloud.

"Along and outside Exter, from His Majesty Noon to the nine great dukes, after learning of the tragedy, endured terrible sorrow and despair with great reason, and agreed that the stars must be responsible for the misfortune of Prince Moral."

After saying this, Russell raised his head and looked around.

Until Kathel nodded slightly:

"It is reasonable that the noble Prince Moral suffered misfortune in the territory of the country, which is a shame to all the people of the Stars."

Russell's cold eyes shrank slightly, then he lowered his head and continued to read aloud

"First, to appease the dead. The stars must be sent back to the bodies of our envoys intact, decent and gloriously, especially the bodies of Prince Moral."

"Second, uphold justice. Assist us to find out and hand over the murderer, and the planner behind the scenes."

Farkenhoz snorted: "Assist them? God, it sounds like a shout from superiors to subordinates."

He complained, and said to Duke Kulun beside him.

But the latter, who was worried, just stared at Russell solemnly.

The words of the Emergency Envoy of Exeter continue:

"Third, re-cast honor. Please, Your Majesty Kathel, personally issue a public apology to the Kingdom of Exeter."

Tailes' brow jumped.

Kilbert's words reappeared in his mind.

[Whether it is war or harmony, Your Majesty cannot escape the accusation of being cold-blooded and ruthless, not caring about the people, or being weak and bullied, and humiliating the stars. This will greatly damage Your Majesty and the Canxing Royal Family, and its reputation and authority in the country.]

But Russell's cold and straightforward words continue:

"Fourth, compensate for losses. Whether it is land or resources, we must receive corresponding compensation. Exeter should receive no less than the size of the territory of Songguo County, and the two northern border counties adjacent to our country as compensation, or 30% of the priority quota for high-quality eternal oil in the East China Sea of ​​the Whaling Industry, or 20% of the priority quota for first-class lithium ore on the South Bank of the Star, one of the three."

"Fifth, maintain fairness. Exeter and Stars must reconcile the Fortress Treaty, especially the unreasonable border lines twelve years ago - Pinecone, Zaratan, Revo, Bear and Luming County, should return to Exeter's rule unconditionally. The Earl of Watch City should withdraw their reclamation teams in the North Big Needle Forest. The number of hunters and herders placed in the Big Needle Forest every year should discuss with the adjacent Black Sha Ling Grand Duke and jointly decide that the Lone Old Earl should recycle their scout patrol line for six miles and no longer unreasonably block the Exeters from entering the public hunting area."

The silent needles in the hall can be heard.

But Tailes knew that it was just a manifestation.

Russell gently lowered the reel.

"The above is His Majesty Noon, and the conditions of the Kingdom of Exeter."

The terrible silence in the hall was finally broken.

"What are you making a fuck!"

Earl Zemuto could no longer bear it, and he roared: "Watching City will not retreat at all! And will not give up Pinecone and Bear County! Tell the black sand-collared bastard: If you want our territory, you will bring your own troops!"

Earl Forres also said coldly: "The same is true for Luming County! Moreover, Gu Laota patrols wherever he wants!"

But the Duke of North, who was most authorized to speak, did not speak at this moment, but just stared at Kesel V.

People with different expressions in the hall all looked at the Supreme King.

"Nuen, Nuen," Kathel stared at the steps under his feet, his face flat, as if something was insignificant: "Exter is too greedy to trade a dead prince for our seven counties."

Russell raised his head and stared at Kethel without showing any weakness: "Exter lost not only a prince, but also our glory was also damaged!"
To be continued...
