"Thank you so much, Duke Miller!" Nalant immediately thanked Duke Miller.
Duke Miller nodded, then called the butler to him and whispered a few instructions.
"Narant!" At the same time, Natasha's low voice came to Narant's ears.
"What's wrong!" Nalant turned his head with a smile.
"You...you don't actually have to be like this. If our Frank family really can't stay in the Nok Empire anymore, maybe it's okay to go to the Tulip Territory!"
Natasha's eyes were filled with mist, she was obviously extremely moved by Nalant's previous rejection of Duke Miller's invitation.
That was a county in the heart of the Nok Empire.
Although she had not been in this holy continent for a long time, after seeing the stability and prosperity in the hinterland of the Nok Empire, Natasha didn't have to think about it. This was definitely an opportunity that all nobles dreamed of.
Speaking of which, if converted into gold coins, I am afraid that even the entire wealth of the Frank family is not enough to measure the value of such an earldom.
But Narant refused without hesitation.
From Natasha's point of view, Nalant has really paid too much for herself, and what can she give in return for Nalant now?
Just when Nalant was making a decision, Natasha gently pulled Nalant's arm, but Nalant didn't look back at all and directly rejected Duke Miller's proposal.
"Natasha, actually I didn't reject Duke Miller's invitation just for the sake of your Frank family. In fact, I really prefer the unrestrained style of the New Storm Territory!"
Seeing that Natasha was so grateful that she might have shed tears if it weren't for the fact that she was at a banquet.
Narant was satisfied but also felt some pity.
Regardless of his original intention, he really didn't want to enter the Nok Empire to avoid hindering his development. Just for Natasha's sake, Nalant would not hesitate to choose to help the Frank family.
As a time traveler, with a system, is he still worried that he will not be able to occupy enough land when he becomes stronger?
To be honest, whether it is in the Holy Continent or the Glory Continent, this world does not lack land. What it lacks is population, food, and the power to protect the territory.
As long as the three are sufficient, it is not impossible for Narant to build a super empire.
Naturally, Natasha didn't quite accept Nalant's explanation. In any case, this kindness was really beyond her ability to repay.
After pausing for a moment and regaining some of her emotions, Natasha continued: "But Narant, the threat from the orcs that Duke Miller just mentioned, is it too dangerous for Storm to comprehend!"
"Natasha, you don't have to worry about this. Although our Storm Territory borders the Orc Empire, it is very far away from their royal court. Therefore, I don't believe that the Orcs will really go to war to find us."
"Besides, even if it does come, you can still run away if you can't defeat us!"
With Shirley's little girl, Bee and Swift Eagle around, to be honest, Nalant really wasn't too worried about the orc attack.
At worst, if you can't beat him, you'll hide.
Being able to take those guys around in the Orc Empire makes Nalant feel more at ease in his own territory.
When the time comes, if he arranges things properly in advance, he is even prepared to let the orcs cripple them before they even set foot on his territory.
Natasha mumbled after hearing this, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Nalant.
"The Dolly family is here!"
At this time, Butler Milo had brought Marquis Bick of the Dolly family to the sofa.
"Your Excellency, I heard that you are looking for me, but I wonder why you are looking for me this time?" Marquis Bick pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.
"Well, Marquis Bick, I brought you here this time to talk about the Frank family!" Duke Miller didn't mince words. Since he decided to help Nalant with all his strength, he must be outspoken.
Marquis Piccolo immediately felt worried when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he had really guessed it.
However, fortunately, Cady had just been sent to find the second prince, so he only showed a slightly solemn expression, "Your Excellency, I have just informed you of the inside story. This matter is really not something that our Dolly family can decide!"
"So, regarding the Frank family, our Dolly family cannot give in!"
"Well, so you are planning to let me find the second prince?" Duke Miller's eyes immediately became sharp.
Even though Duke Miller had a pleasant face before, that was because tonight was his birthday dinner, so he would not keep a straight face when facing the guests.
But when he put on a posture and showed his majesty, the whole place was instantly covered with a suffocating sense of oppression.
But Marquis Piccolo, who had a normal demeanor at first, suddenly became tense and his body became stiffer.
"Your Majesty the Duke, this is really not something I can decide..." However, even so, Marquis Dolly still did not let go.
Because he knew very well that no matter how domineering Duke Miller was, he would never be able to handle himself when faced with so many nobles.
"Are you sure that I really don't dare to do anything to you?" Unfortunately, Marquis Piccolo still underestimated the courage, or rather the face, of a strong man.
It was just that he didn't want to go all out before, but now that he has decided to fulfill his promise to Nalant, it can be said that Marquis Piccolo is really nothing.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived!" However, at this moment, a servant shouted from the door of the banquet hall.
Following the chanting, a young man in his twenties dressed in colorful clothes entered the hall followed by Kadi.
When Duke Miller saw this, he lost his previous pressure and stood up on his own initiative.
"Uncle Miller, congratulations on your happy birthday!"
"Dale, your gift has been delivered by someone, why did you come in person?" He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and the second prince himself was Duke Miller's nephew, so Duke Miller also greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle Miller, originally because of my father's request, we were busy practicing every day, so we couldn't come."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "However, I just heard from Cady that there was not enough wine at Uncle Miller's banquet, so after I finished practicing, I rushed over immediately, hoping that Miller
Don't blame me, uncle." The second prince's face was also full of humility, and he didn't look like a reinforcement invited by the Dolly family at all.
"Dale, uncle is of course welcome. We have enough wine for tonight. You can do as you like later!"
"Then thank you Uncle Miller. By the way, Uncle Miller, what happened just now? Did Marquis Piccolo make you angry in some way?"
The second prince Dale glanced at Piccolo, who was already sweating a little, and pretended not to know what to ask.
"Well, Dale, you came just in time. Uncle, I just have something I want to discuss with you!" Duke Miller narrowed his eyes slightly and chose to speak directly.
"Uncle Miller, please speak!"
"Recently, the Dolly family is suppressing a new noble family that has joined our Nok Empire. However, Baron Nalant of this noble family just saved my Lita, so I want the Dolly family to stop suppressing it!"
"It's just that Bick said that the suppression of the Frank family was your order, so I want to ask if that's the case?"
"Really? Uncle Miller, there must be a misunderstanding. I did ask the Dolly family to help me find business partners."
"As you know, my eldest son has turned seven, and I'm planning to build him a manor! But my favorite thing on weekdays is practicing fighting spirit or riding a horse for hunting, and I know nothing about business."
"So, this matter was handed over to Marquis Bick."
"He also reported to me a few days ago that a noble family named the Frank family seems to be interested in cooperating."
"It's just that I didn't expect that what Uncle Miller said would happen!"
"Marquis Bick, is what Uncle Miller said true? Didn't I say it before? Cooperation requires mutual consent!" The second prince Dale looked at Marquis Bick.
"Your Highness, I contacted the Frank family just as you said. Perhaps the servants who sent the message misunderstood the meaning, so the current situation occurred." After hearing the second prince's question, Marquis Bick immediately also
Pushed cleanly.
"Really, if it is really a misunderstanding, Dale, do you think you can choose a new partner?" How could Duke Miller not see that they were acting.
It's just that such things don't matter, he just needs to fulfill his promise to Narant.
"Well, Uncle Miller, since you said so, and if they are really not voluntary, then I will definitely have to choose another partner."
"It's just that now that this matter has been spread, if other people knew about it, they would really think that the Dolly family and I were conspiring to bully the little nobles."
"So, Uncle Miller, why not do this? I will send someone here to have a friendly duel with Baron Nalant, which can be regarded as a friendly exchange."
"As long as he is willing to agree, then let this matter go!" The second prince looked at Nalant.
On the way here, he had already heard everything that happened tonight from Kadi.
Therefore, the Frank family itself is not the problem now. The real problem is the young nobleman who suddenly appeared to save Lita.
Only by starting from him can tonight's crisis be solved.
"Dale, aren't you even giving up Uncle Miller's face?"
Duke Miller naturally knew what this so-called friendly discussion meant. The other party wanted to make Nalant retreat in spite of difficulties.
If he chooses not to participate, it will be difficult for him to continue to say anything.
After all, Dell has already said this. As long as you are willing to participate, you can let the Frank family go.
But if Nalant participated, his life would probably be in danger.
"Uncle Miller, you are my uncle, and I definitely respect you. However, if this incident spreads, then my Dale's reputation will probably be ruined. So, if you can fulfill this small request of mine,
, then the other nobles will naturally not say anything more." Prince Dale did not let him speak at all.
"Your Highness Dale, I wonder what this friendly duel is like and what kind of strength my opponent is?" At this moment, Nalant spoke.
"Well, are you the young noble who saved Lita? You are indeed young and promising!" The second prince continued to look at Nalant, his eyes flashing.
"The Friendly Duel is also very simple, that is, you can randomly choose one of my three subordinates to fight against. As long as you can not lose in the duel with them for three minutes, it will be considered as Baron Nalant's victory."
"I don't know if Baron Nalant has the confidence. If not, Baron Nalant still needs to think carefully."
Behind the second prince Dale stood three guards with swords hanging on their waists. The auras on their bodies showed that they were not simple guys, but actually knights of the earth.
Although they are only the first level of the Earth Knight, if a Golden Knight wants to survive under their hands for three minutes, I am afraid that few people can do it.
"Dale, in this royal capital of Nok, I'm afraid no golden knight can last three minutes against the earth knight, right?" Duke Miller frowned and felt displeased.
If the person Dell selected was also a Golden Knight and was only a small level higher than Narant, then he would reluctantly agree.
But now it was the Earth Knight, who was completely planning to kill Nalant.
"Uncle Miller, this Baron Narant is not an ordinary nobleman. I also heard the briefing the day before yesterday. If he can plunder them in the Orc Empire, Baron Narant is a real warrior!"
Dell looked at Narant with interest, his meaning was obvious.
I have already laid out the conditions, it’s up to you whether you are willing or not.
Even Duke Miller couldn't say anything at the moment. After all, he, the second prince, also needed to save face, not to mention that he didn't completely reject Duke Miller's request.
And he felt that as long as Nalant was not stupid, he would definitely not dare to agree. How could the Earth Knight and the Golden Knight be able to compete?
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, to his expectation, Nalant was no ordinary person. He smiled and said: "Okay, I will test the strength of His Highness the Second Prince's guard.
Well, to be honest, I am really curious about the power of the Earth Knight!"
"You agreed?" Prince Dale, the second prince, said in surprise.
"Yes, I would also like to thank the second prince for giving me the opportunity to compete with the Earth Knight. In addition, does what the second prince Dale just said count? As long as I complete this friendship competition, the Frank family will no longer be suppressed!
"
"Very good. Since you have the courage, Baron Nalant, let me give you a try. I, Prince Dale, the second prince, will do what he says. If you participate in the friendly duel, then the Frank family will not be able to do anything in the Nok Empire in the future."
Suffer any suppression!”
"Baron Narant, the strength of the Earth Knight is not something that ordinary golden knights can compete with!" At this time, Duke Miller frowned and spoke.
He was worried that Nalant was too anxious. Even if this matter could not be solved now, he would definitely solve it from other aspects tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, Duke, please rest assured, I am not an ordinary golden knight. In addition, I also ask Your Majesty the Duke to uphold justice for the Frank family's future affairs!" Nalant smiled lightly, very confident.
"Okay!" Duke Miller saw that Nalant had made up his mind and said no more.
Immediately, he ordered Butler Milo to go to the manor's treasury to get some armor for Narant. Because Narant was here to attend the banquet tonight, he had nothing on him except a long sword.
While Butler Milo went to get the armor, everyone also started to move out of the hall.
Since it is a duel between strong men, it must be done outdoors where there is an open door.
