Chapter 65 Bruce Langdon's Fiancée

After Wayne Langdon took the Emperor to the dungeon, the Emperor had been trying to chat with him.

Topics range from "what do you think about killing your father" to "how did the paladin atone for his sins" to "whether the new mage will marry your sister in the future", they are fully covered.

But Wayne Langdon just responded one after another, never confided his thoughts, and strictly abided by his responsibilities.

Until the third day, a new guard came to the prison.

It was a burly warrior with a huge sword on his back, and the flesh on his face looked like tumors.

Wayne Langdon immediately recognized that this was his younger brother's confidant. He didn't take part in the action to deal with Irwin that day because he couldn't use his skills underground, so he lost his life.

Wayne: "Why did you get sent here?"

The soldier sat down across the table, crossed his legs on the table, and then put a small glass bottle on the table: "For this. I told you, as long as I have a chance, I will Poison the old man on the door behind you who is looking out."

Wayne said seriously: "You don't seem like a person who can use drugs."

"Open the cell door and pour it into your mouth, anyone can do it, right? But you, this old man wants to kill your whole family, yet you still protect him. Are you paladins stupid?"

Wayne looked down at his hands: "I can't break my oath, maybe the old man behind him deserves to die, but he can't die in front of me."

"You still come down to protect him? If you weren't here, he would have died countless times!"

Wayne: "My oath made me..."

"Oath, oath! Doesn't your god still worship necessary evil?"

Wayne: "If after trial, this old man deserves to die, I am willing to be the executioner myself! If he meets me on the battlefield, I am willing to kill him with my own hands! If I propose a duel now and he agrees, then I will not Kill him without hesitation!"

The emperor's words came from the cell behind him: "I am not stupid, even if you throw my face with gloves, I will not fight. I would rather bear your humiliation."

Wayne threw up his hands.

The brawny soldier shook his head: "Why does our boss have a brother like you? But then again, when you come to protect him in the future, we confidantes can feel at ease. But that's all in the future, I Now I can tell you that you can't take it lightly for a moment, even if you just lose your mind for a moment and take a nap, the old bastard behind the door will be a dead man."

At this time, the old bastard smiled: "That little devil is trying to tie you to me. Maybe he is going to do something outrageous and violating public order and morals on it. Can you just sit back and watch this happen? ?”

Wayne gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with his hands until his knuckles turned white, and his wrists trembled slightly.

The warrior looked at the paladin's hand with a pitiful expression.

Wayne said every word: "I don't know what my brother is going to do."

The emperor snorted: "What else can I do, it's nothing more than some silly things, such as putting a poisonous snake on the bed of the Duke of the River Valley, so as to severely deter the electors and let them vote in the parliament."

"That's your slander against my brother. I'm not sure what he's going to do," Wayne said.

The emperor laughed loudly, lying on the cell door, with his whole face stuffed into the small window, letting the grille sink into his flesh: "Paladin, if you deceive yourself like this, your god won't feel that you are being fooled Don't you? You clearly know what kind of person your brother is! You sit back and watch cruel and despicable things happen!

"Paladin! You will lose your holy light tomorrow! Your grace! Because of you, you have indulged your selfish desires and condoned your brother's crimes! You will never, ever be able to atone!"

Wayne replied calmly: "Then let my god test me, he will have his own judgment."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the holy light descended as usual.

On the third day after capturing the emperor, the king stood in the audience hall, looking at the Duke of Dale, who was saluting Duke Langdon.

His place was behind Elizabeth's chair.

At this time, there are two empty chairs in the audience hall, one belongs to the Duke's brother, the current commander of the Duke's army, Wayne Langdon, and the other is next to the Duke's seat, belonging to the Duke's spouse, Langdon The Duchess of the United States - but Bruce Langdon is now unmarried.

This is actually very rare. Generally, children of noble families have a marriage contract from birth, and they will get married when they reach adulthood. In this way, when the child inherits the throne, there should also be a mistress on that chair.

But it is certainly not the case now.

Bruce said coldly: "You still have the face, Your Excellency the Duke of River Valley."

The Duke of River Valley spread his hands together: "Come to surrender to the victor, it has nothing to do with whether you have face or not? As the general of the defeated army, I promise to advance and retreat with Duke Langdon in the future Imperial Council, and share fate!"

Bruce snorted, but didn't respond.

The Duke of River Valley continued: "If you think my guarantee is unreliable, I have a proposal. Please allow me to introduce my daughter Ruth to you."

The Duke of River Valley took a step aside, and a girl who seemed to be the same age as Elizabeth took a step forward, pulling the hem of her skirt to salute Bruce.

The king raised his eyebrows, looked down at Elizabeth, and stopped looking at the daughter of the Duke of River Valley—there is a difference between people, even if they are all the daughters of the Duke.

Bruce raised his eyebrows: "Miss Ruth, I have admired your name for a long time. But I don't know what your father intends to introduce you at this time?"

The Duke of River Valley took a step forward: "Of course I want to arrange a marriage. In fact, I have written letters with the old Duke. I have mentioned this matter before."

Bruce smiled: "You shameless bastard, backstabbed me with the emperor, and now you still want to be my father-in-law? Isn't your wishful thinking too loud?"

The Duke of River Valley smiled and said: "Don't dare. But you may already know that I don't have a son, and my daughter is my first heir. After a hundred years of me, she will be the Duchess of River Valley. At that time, we two Dukes Together, they can monopolize the trade on the Enlan River and form a century-old alliance forever.

"You and her child can even become the co-lords of the two duchies!"

Bruce asked coldly: "What if you give birth to a son later? I remember that the River Valley collar is a male-first inheritance law."

Duke of the Valley laughs: "I'm 60!"

Bruce: "What's weird, my dad is Elizabeth about the same age. She is much younger than both of us as brothers."

The Duke of River Valley rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then I will change the inheritance law when I go back! It will be the same as our allies!"

Bruce stared at him for a moment, then laughed.

The Duke of River Valley also laughed.

Only Ruth, who was regarded as a marriage tool, stood there awkwardly.She looked at Elizabeth, who was sitting on the high platform, and both of them showed sympathy in their eyes.

But Elizabeth immediately turned to look at the king.

Wang: "I'm not watching!"

Elizabeth frowned.

At this time, Bruce stood up, strode towards the Duke of the Valley, and held his hand: "Great, what's this called, smile away the hatred! Come on, bring the wine! Today we will hold an engagement ceremony! Tonight, all the masters of the twelve electors, get drunk together!"

The crowd cheered.

Bruce turned around, and the moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.After meeting Wang's eyes, he squeezed his eyes lightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Coming out of the audience hall, Elizabeth grabbed the king's sleeve: "See? Without you, Ruth's fate is my fate."

Wang: "But don't you think that your brother agreed a little quickly?"

Elizabeth sighed: "He is a profit-driven animal, of course he will do such a profitable thing. I just think that girl is really pitiful. My second brother doesn't love her at all, not at all. This is born in The fate of a girl from a noble family."

Elizabeth paused for a moment, then looked at the king in a daze: "So, please take me away, take me away no matter what."

Wang nodded: "That's my plan. You are a very important firepower projection point in small-scale encounters. I need your scorching rays."

Elizabeth looked at the ceiling helplessly.

Wang: "By the way, don't wear a skirt that is difficult to move tonight, and remember to wear that wristband too. This is the captain's order."
