"Master Deka, please don't be nervous. I have no malicious intentions towards you. You see, you came to my house to inform me of the case. How could I hurt you? Just now, I was just impulsive just now, but I didn't expect to affect you so much. It’s really my rudeness. You don’t worry, I won’t do that anymore. As for your persuasion, I just discussed it with my wife. It’s better to let my son Hughes decide for himself. Of course, no matter what he does My wife and I will support this kind of decision." Gail tried to make his centipede face look softer, and his tone was light and slow.

This action quickly worked. Baron deka's body gradually softened, and the horror in his eyes faded away, revealing more of a complex emotion mixed with fear and embarrassment.

Deka lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He thought he would be very angry when he got out, but he didn't expect that every time this idea came together, the unknown shadow in his heart would suddenly appear, and the strong sense of oppression made him angry. It disappeared instantly, without a trace.

"Father, did you call me something?" At this time, Hughes' voice came from the door of the living room.

Mrs. Betty smiled and beckoned to her son: "Come here, sit here, Master Deka, you just saw yesterday, he is here to tell us good news, your case has been broken. Very fast, Isn't it! Hughes, you should thank adults for this."

Hughes asked in surprise: "Really? That's great! Master Baron, thank you for your hard work for my case. I express my sincere gratitude to you! You worked hard!" Said, Hughes stood up Give the baron a deep bow.

Deka listened to Mrs. Betty's praise and was a little embarrassed. She quickly got up and picked up Hughes, and repeatedly quit.

Although Hughes was strange, Lord Baron seemed to have a much better attitude than yesterday, almost a bit weak. But he was not clever, but asked his mother in a subtle way.

Mrs. Betty smiled and said, "Although the case is broken, there are still some things. Your father and I want to let ourselves decide how to do it, and the Sheriff will listen carefully to your opinions."

Hughes said that he sat down and nodded seriously, though, he didn't know what his mother wanted to decide.

"It's like this..." Mrs. Betty told the story, Hughes' expression fluctuated, frowning, angry, and calm, but she gradually understood what her parents meant.

"This is the case. Matthew and several other children have certain responsibilities. As for their multiple punishments, my father and I, the Sheriff, all want to hear your opinion."

"It's really a catastrophe! Countess Soder, should be the young lady who has been frowning on Fagare from time to time! Sure enough, I knew that the leak must be related to Fagarina." Hughes finally said. 'S expression was surprisingly calm, without any anger. In the view of a few people next to him, his expression seemed to be more appropriately described with incomprehensible and complaining.

Both Betty and Gail watched his son carefully. It was strange to see him in this way. He asked each other with their eyes, but they couldn't come up with any suitable explanation. They had to wait for the decision of Hughes with the sheriff.

For a moment, Hughes looked up, with a smile on his face, ridiculed: "It turned out to be this way, it seems that I was unlucky that day!"

Seeing him like this, the sheriff put his heart down halfway, and a smile appeared on his face. He was afraid that Hughes was young and full of spirits, and he must punish the perpetrators severely. In that way, the writing will definitely deteriorate, which will not benefit him, the Viscount's family, or the other nobles in the Glorious City. The peaceful and prosperous city of glory must make a mess!

The expressions of Mrs. Betty and Viscount Gael remained unchanged, just waiting for her son to follow.

"Father, mother, Lord Baron, I think this is the case. I will accept Matthew's apology from them and will not pursue it. With the exception of Heath, I hope Guangyao Noble Court will give me a satisfactory answer as soon as possible." Hughes said his opinion seriously.

The sheriff Deka smiled, and while still secretly observing Gail's expression, the irrepressible joy at the bottom of his heart still made his mouth curl up obviously.

Mrs. Betty smiled too, and gave her husband a glance of complacency. Of the three listeners, only Gail's expression remained unchanged, and he remained expressionless. But Mrs. Betty, sitting next to him, clearly felt that the muscles in her husband's arm moved slightly when the son's words were just spoken.

"Why make such a decision?" Gael suddenly asked, wanting to know the real thoughts deep in his son's heart. If Hughes only considered the Earl’s factors, he would inevitably be slightly disappointed.

The attention of the sheriff and Mrs. Betty were attracted by this question. Three pairs of eyes exuding different rays of light while staring at the fourteen-year-old Hughes, waiting for his answer.

Hughes is very calm, although everyone is watching him, but this does not bring much oppression. He replied calmly: “Although I have heard Matthew’s name, I don’t know him at all, and I believe he has never seen me. So, the idea of ​​deliberately framing is not valid. In this case, he will say something like that, probably It’s the reason why young people have a good face, plus a little cleverness and jealousy. However, I don’t care about these. As long as I don’t really want to interrupt my legs, I will give them the opportunity to admit their mistakes. Dayar."

Speaking of which, Huston took a look, and glanced at the three people who listened attentively, and suddenly continued with a murderous tone: "However, Heath is never within the scope of forgiveness. If others say Being able to use young and impulsive actions as a reason for avoiding torture, then selfishness, cruelty, and jealousy are not within the scope of my forgiveness. On the contrary, I have to ask the court to severely punish him, even if I can’t ask him You must also deprive him of all his inheritance rights and titles, and distribute them to the front to fill the army, and he cannot use gold coins to atone."

This remark was so decisive that the anger in Hughes' eyes was clear to the sheriff. This attitude caused him a headache.

According to the evidence collected by the Public Security Department, in fact, although Heath committed a great crime, he never reached such a serious point. For noble heirs, deprivation of inheritance is almost the most severe punishment.

Once Hughes’s idea is accepted by the court judge, it means that Heath, who has always been respected, will become a civilian with nothing in his future life, falling from heaven to hell. Not only that, after being deprived of the nobility, it is necessary to clean up a civilian. For senior nobles such as Viscount, it is easy to kill them quietly. Although everyone knows what is going on, no one will dare to come to the door to discuss statement.

What's more, the punishment Hughes hopes is more than that, he even has to send the murderer to the front line to fill the army! This is no different from asking Heath directly. The front line of the Jihad Province is nothing more than the front line of the Ganglu War Fort against the orcs. There is an orc army to fight the autumn wind, and grab people to grab food. Heath, who is not even a junior swordsman, went there and was almost sure to be made a winter jerky by a brutal orc!

Thinking of that tragic scene, Baron Deka, the sheriff, couldn't help shivering. When he looked at the handsome fourteen-year-old boy in front of him again, a chill grew slowly in his heart.

However, no matter what the mind of the Sheriff, anyway, Hughes’ parents, Viscount Gael and Mrs. Betty are very satisfied, especially Mrs. Betty, she immediately sat next to her son, trying to hug her son in a circle of arms In arms. It’s just that Hughes was embarrassed himself, holding on unwillingly. Because he did not want the sheriff to see that he still needed his mother’s arms like a child.

Feeling a faint resistance, Mrs. Betty immediately understood her son's thoughts and patted Hughes strangely. Then, she respected her son's thoughts and Shi Shiran sat back next to her husband.

Gail is not sure about Hughes' thoughts, but he still has his own considerations.

"Although it is a legitimate reason, it is not what I want to hear. Should I ask more clearly?" Gail asked himself in his heart. After a moment, he had a decision.

"Shuss, if you don't consider the situation of Earl's Court, do you have any other ideas?" Gael's expression was a little serious at this moment. He stared closely at his son's eyes and tried to find out.

The sheriff was frightened again. Although the Viscount's palace was warm, he still felt the cold wind blowing into the living room. He didn't feel that he tightened his collar with his hands, and his face was a bit bluish.

Hughes frowned. Of course he understood what his father meant.

To tell the truth, of course, he has taken into account the power of Earl’s Court. After being sensible, he has not been in vain in the past few years and has been studying! He may not have a thorough understanding of most things in the world, but he knows how the upper society works. However, it seems inappropriate to tell the truth in front of outsiders.

After pondering for a while, Hughes spoke again, with a cautious tone in his voice: "Father, I am only 14 years old, then I only consider the matter of 14 years old, the matter of adults, or those of you adults, I am young. It is inevitable to be ill-considered. Moreover, will I doubt that you are going to sacrifice the interests of your son?"

Hughes laughed after saying this, looking at his mother who also smiled, and then he said: "Of course, I think of the situation in Earl’s Court, but I think this matter is just the impulse of young people, Lord Earl is impossible to participate in such boring, principle-violating things, otherwise, his city owner will be in vain."

Gael stared at his son for a moment and saw that his eyes were not panicked and scattered. Then he nodded slightly, and he recognized Hughes's statement.

"Well, since you decide this way, then we respect your opinion. However, Hughes, don't think that you are young, you are already a junior swordsman. When I was fourteen years old, my grandfather had taken it with fierce The wild beasts fought. After becoming a junior swordsman at the age of fifteen, he immediately entered the battlefield. Men, at this age, should no longer use age as an excuse to shirk their responsibilities!" Gail and his wife gave each other a glance to encourage him Son.

At this point, the housekeeper Raul came in suddenly, whispering something in Gael's ear, Gael's expression slightly changed, and Mrs. Betty stood up with a smile.

"Master Baron, Lord City Master is here. Let's meet together, shall we?" Mrs. Betty smiled, her tone quite brisk.

"Oh, is it? That must be greeted, huh!" Lord Sheriff was overjoyed to hear the hostess' words, and he had long been unwilling to be alone and frightened here. Now someone with a higher status is coming, even if the sky falls down, there is a high top. He, a little baron, a subordinate noble, is very welcome in his heart.

Gael also followed, and now that he has made a decision, he no longer has to worry about whether to fight the count. As the Viscount, as the noble in the name of the Earl, the Horton family he represents must never be rude in the process of welcoming the etiquette. Otherwise, it will provoke jokes, even if he is a great swordsman.

Aristocrats, always take rules seriously and take it seriously! Just like, even if the two countries are at war, the victorious party captures the nobleman of the losing party, the victorious party must still have enough courtesy to capture the nobleman, and ensure that if the other party's family pays the ransom, the person will return to the country safely and decently. .

A group of people arrived outside the fort. The count and his son Matthew had stood by the carriage and waited. When Gael came to see him, the count took the initiative to welcome him.

"In the bright sunshine, would it seem too awkward to be a guest in the lord Viscount's mansion?" Count Alpha chuckled.

The face of Viscount Gael was also smiling at this time, although, in the eyes of the count, this guy was as horrible as he smiled.

"I'm very honored to be here with you. Please come in. The house has prepared the snowy black tea you like to drink." Gale's movements were standard and elegant, and Mrs. Betty stepped forward to welcome him and accepted the earl's kiss.

"This is the little genius who is famous for the glorious city, Hughes. Young man, you have won the honor for our glorious city!" The count raised his saluting smile again and warmly greeted him.

"Don't be ashamed of your compliments, sir!" Hughes returned in a humble manner.

"Master Earl, please go first!" Mrs. Betty came out in time to guide the crowd. Count Alpha nodded to the sheriff again. The sheriff Barté Deka smiled enthusiastically. He immediately understood what the other man meant and strode forward with joy.

"Everyone, don't need to be in order, Matthew, you follow Hughes, young people, you should have a good contact and understand, it is our future in the glorious city!" Earl deliberately or unconsciously gathered two young men with hatred Together. He knew that his son would handle it properly.

Matthew Wenyan immediately smiled and walked to Hughes, regardless of the cold face of the other side, and minimized the distance between him and Hughes, arm to arm.

"Nice to meet you, although you probably don't like me!" Matthew's first words of apology aroused Curios' curiosity. He tilted his head and looked at the younger person who was taller than himself. Tao: "Are you always so direct? This is not the same as the noble's way of greeting."

Matthew smiled, his blond hair trembling in the breeze, the sun shining on it, just like gold wire, and then wearing a handsome look, it was indeed a very noble man. At this point, even Hughes had to admit it, and there was little jealousy.

"Sure enough, older men are more attractive!" Hughes muttered in his heart.

At this time, Matthew lowered his head again, and sincerely apologized in a slightly smaller but clear voice: "Thurs, in fact, you must understand what I mean today, yes, I am here to apologize to you. Because I The mistake made you in danger. I'm sorry for you. My father also felt sorry for the Holden family, so he accompanied me to come to you and sincerely apologize to the Holden family. I hope you can forgive my stupidity!"
