The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"My Lord Baron, my Lord Baron, something bad has happened! The servants you brought with you are fighting with others!"

Baron Soran and Miss Vivian were leisurely walking and chatting in the manor, enjoying the light and the moon.

Suddenly, a servant who looked like a cocktail waiter came running over to report.

"What's going on?" Sauron didn't care about anything else and asked in a deep voice!

"Your Excellency! I don't know either. The steward of the reception hall brought the news! He said that your servants had a fight with others! He asked you to go over and take a look!" Although the servant was very anxious, he still patiently explained to Baron Sauron.

"Vivian, go back to the castle ball first! I'll go over and take a look!" Soran turned around and said softly.

"Well! You have to be careful! I'll be waiting for you at the dance!" Miss Vivian said hesitantly.

But even though she was reluctant, she knew that now was not a good time for a date, so she went straight into the castle!

"Take me there!" Soran instructed the servant after Vivi walked away.

"Yes, Baron!" Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly led the way.

He looked even more anxious than Sauron!

Because on weekdays in the Viscount's Mansion, Miss Vivian was very kind to the servants in the castle and never mistreat or abused anyone!

So the servants all respected her very much!

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't have risked coming over and disturbing Miss Vivian's date!

Moreover, today is a good day for Miss Vivian to hold her coming-of-age ball, and he is also afraid that things might not be handled in time and mistakes might occur.

This may lead to some unpleasant things happening and eventually ruin the atmosphere of Miss Vivian's coming-of-age ball!

So it’s no wonder that he is so anxious!

……

Soran also knew that the "servant" the servant was talking about must be Doug Johnson.

Because he only brought Doug Johnson to the Viscount's manor to attend the coming-of-age ball.

But based on Soran's understanding of Doug Johnson, he felt that Doug Johnson would not take the initiative to cause trouble!

Don't think that Doug Johnson is a muscular, simple-minded idiot just because he has exaggerated muscles and height.

But in fact, Doug Johnson's brain is very smart!

Now I am only limited by my lack of vision and insufficient knowledge!

And this was actually the reason why Soran brought him out to the dance!

Let him broaden his horizons and see the world!

And if I continue to focus on training myself, maybe I can grow into an outstanding talent in the future!

Um~

At least he is a better talent than Ramos!

……

"Do you know who had a conflict with my servants?" Soran asked for details as he walked quickly.

He was still wearing his ball gown.

This kind of dress is suitable for ballroom dancing, where the feet move at close range, but it is not suitable for running.

But now Soran doesn’t care!

Although it's a bit stuck, it's better to get there as soon as possible!

He was really afraid that Doug Johnson would be bullied over there!

After all, just a few days ago, Doug Johnson was just an ordinary hunter!

"Your Lord Baron, it seems that he is a servant of Viscount Molson's family! But I don't know the details! After all, I am just here to pass on the message!" The servant who led the way said helplessly.

He really didn't know!

"Well, it's okay! Just lead the way!" Soran comforted him.

The two continued on their journey, one in front and one behind.

..............................

Next to the Viscount Ayudukai family castle, there is a large bungalow.

This is the castle's reception hall, which is used to temporarily accommodate guests and servants.

After Soran entered the castle to attend the ball, Doug Johnson and other servants were brought here to rest!

Of course, the host will also provide some food and drinks!

It’s just that in terms of quality, it’s not as good as what is provided at the Castle Ball!

But the main feature is the large quantity and enough to fill you up!

When Soran followed the servant here, the fight between the two sides had been stopped.

But the scene was still a mess, noisy and chaotic scene!

If it weren't for the captain of the castle guards of Viscount Ayudukai, a lord with the professional rank of Brave Knight, who was here to keep order, the reception scene in the side hall might have been even worse and more abominable.

Fortunately, Doug Johnson was not bullied or injured.

After a brief questioning, Soran also knew the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that the eldest son of Viscount Molson was very indignant about Soran's behavior of suppressing and blackmailing his uncle, Sir Jacques, as soon as he arrived in the White Bear Territory.

So he had told people around him many times that he would find an opportunity to avenge his uncle.

The cavalry captain who escorted him to the ball this time was the one Soran met on the road, the one who insulted Soran as a "rogue knight".

To please his young master and for a bright future!

So after drinking a few glasses of wine, under the influence of alcohol, he wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to deliberately speak rudely, insulting Baron Sauron or slandering the White Bear Lord.

He wanted to use this to anger Doug Johnson, then propose a knight duel, and then defeat Doug Johnson in public, so as to slap Soran in the face and please his own young master!

Needless to say, Doug Johnson has always been very respectful to his lord!

Therefore, he was indeed enraged when he heard the other party insulting his master!

Then he rushed up without saying a word and knocked him to the ground with one punch!

And this cavalry captain never imagined that the gap between his strength and Doug Johnson was so huge!

He was knocked down directly!

But unfortunately, when Doug Johnson wanted to continue to attack with force, he was stopped by the captain of the castle guard who happened to pass by!

The captain of the castle guards possesses the strength of a brave knight, so he can easily hold Doug Johnson back.

Otherwise, the guy who made such rude remarks would be either dead or disabled!

But faced with this situation, the captain of the castle guards was a little at a loss!

Suddenly he didn't know what to do, so he could only send someone to report to the Viscount and find the heads of each family to discuss the matter.

"Knight Magonorbel, you now know the situation! I need a reasonable explanation!" Soran held his head high, his eyes sparkling, and his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

After all, he is the one whose reputation has been damaged now, so he is right!

Knight Mago Nobel is the captain of the castle guards with the professional level of brave knight.

He was also very helpless when he saw Sauron say this!

After all, sometimes, nobles still attach great importance to reputation!

Especially those nobles with a long heritage!

So he couldn't avoid this question, so he could only ask helplessly: "What kind of explanation does Baron Soran want?"

"According to the laws of the Kingdom of Midburg: If a commoner without a title dares to insult the honor and dignity of a noble, his life, death and property will be at the disposal of the insulted noble!"

"So I need you to hand over the person who insulted my reputation to me for punishment!" Soran looked at the knight captain who had been detained next to him.

At this moment, his face was already pale and his legs were weak!

If there wasn't someone supporting him, he might have fallen to his knees!

He is already regretting it!

He regretted that after drinking a few glasses of wine, he should not have acted impulsively and insulted a distinguished hereditary nobleman with rude words.

"Baron Soran, I fully understand your request! And according to the laws of the kingdom, he does need to be handed over to you for handling! But he is from Viscount Molson's family, and I have no power to deal with him!"

"So you see, how about we wait for Master Chalp of Viscount Molson's family to come over? I have already sent someone to inform him!" Knight Magonorbel was really helpless!

What he hates most is dealing with such aristocratic disputes!

Every aspect has to be taken into consideration, it's so tedious and complicated!

"Okay!" Soran agreed immediately.

Anyway, he is in the right in this matter, so he is not afraid that Master Chalp will default on his debt!

Moreover, the other person's young master hadn't even arrived yet, but he directly took away the other person's knight. This could easily leave a handle or lead to criticism that he was arrogant.

And Knight Magonorbel breathed a sigh of relief!

Fortunately, Baron Soran is not the kind of person who would make trouble!

Therefore, his favorable impression of Soran also increased a bit!

I heard that he was Miss Vivian's first dance partner at the ball!

Now it seems that Baron Sauron is not bad!

……

But unfortunately, they did not wait for the arrival of Master Chalp!

Instead, he waited for Viscount Ayudukai to arrive with many guests.

Actually, if we really talk about what happened here, it can be said that it is serious, but it is not serious either. The key lies in how to deal with it afterwards!

But now is the sensitive period for Miss Vivian to hold her coming-of-age ball, and the stewards dare not handle it privately, so they can only report it to the Viscount for a decision.

After Vivian returned to the castle ball, she was worried about the situation on Soran's side, so she begged her father to bring her over to see him.

As for those guests who received the gossip, they naturally came along for the fun and became spectators!

After all, today was the coming-of-age ceremony dance, they were tired of dancing, talked enough, drank enough wine, and ate enough food!

I'm idle and have nothing to do now, and I'm worried that there's nothing fun to do!

It just happened to be delivered to my door!

Soon, after knowing the cause and effect of the incident, the guests at the meeting gave two different solutions:

The first suggestion was to punish the arrogant cavalry captain, teach him a profound lesson, and then let Master Chalp compensate Baron Sauron.

The second opinion was to execute him directly to serve as a warning to others and to safeguard the honor of the nobility.

Of course, there are also a very small number of nobles who believe that big things can be made small, and small things can be made nothing.

But as soon as this sound came out, the waves were suppressed before they even broke!

Of these two propositions, the second one is supported by the most people.

Those who advocate the first solution are naturally the families that have a better relationship with Viscount Molson's family.

The second main type is families that have average or hostile relations with Viscount Molson's family.

After all, if Soran really executed the cavalry captain, he would have completely offended the family of Viscount Molson!

Moreover, they had another secret plan, which was to let Baron Soren offend Viscount Ayudukai as well!

Even though it was the cavalry captain who was at fault, if he really killed someone on the day of Miss Vivian's coming-of-age ball!

That would be a slap in the face of Viscount Ayudukai!

Among nobles, cooperation is relative, but interests are eternal!

If we can add one more enemy to Viscount Molson's family, we can contain or consume more of his resources and strength.

Then, as one gains while the other loses, it is equivalent to strengthening your own strength.

Also, Baron Soran's performance at the ball today was too outstanding, and all the noble young men and young ladies present did not want him to have such an easy time.

This made him inadvertently offend Viscount Ayudukai, and the relationship between him and Miss Vivian became a little awkward!

And for these noble young masters and young ladies, their chance has come!

So, they are very willing to go with the flow and help others!

As for the unfortunate cavalry captain, it was all his own fault!

Not worthy of sympathy!

Besides, he is not mine, so what does his death have to do with me?

...........................

Soon, Viscount Molson's eldest son, Master Chalp, finally arrived!

From the fact that he rushed over in a hurry and his clothes were disheveled, and considering his scandals, everyone could guess what he had been doing!

Suddenly, everyone looked at him with a little more contempt!

After Master Chalp arrived, he also first understood the cause and effect of the matter!

When he knew that Soran needed a reasonable explanation, he kept his composure and did not directly object. Instead, he apologized first: "Baron Soran, hello!"

"This time, it was indeed my subordinate who spoke rudely first. He deserves the consequences now! I failed to discipline him strictly. I sincerely apologize to you first!"

As he said this, he bowed slightly to apologize!

It has to be said that Master Chalp's direct admission of his mistake and his choice to apologize made everyone look at him in a different light!

Even Sauron is no exception!

Because judging from Chalp's scandals and behavior, he really looks like an uneducated and uneducated playboy!

But since this matter has come to this point, it obviously cannot be resolved with just an apology!

Even Chalp himself could see that!

That's why he apologized first and took the initiative to retreat in order to advance!

At the same time, when apologizing, he did not say anything like "let me take him back and discipline him more"!

Because that would be a sheer joke!

"No need to apologize, Master Chalp, just hand him over to me!" Sauron said lightly.

He doesn't need to give any face to this young master!

Moreover, the feud between the two territories has long been formed!
