In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

"What Whip Hero? How come there's no Whip Hero among the four heroes this time?"

"He is not a hero like you. He just has the blood of a hero. The descendants of heroes can also use divine weapons. So Shangwen, you can consider getting married."

"Um????"

The black-haired boy's already shocked expression became even more shocked. No, why did they talk about marriage?

"It's time for you to get married. I don't know what the rules are in your previous world, but here, you're old enough to get married. How about it? I'll introduce you to someone when we get back to the territory?"

Green looked up and down at Naofumi Iwamine, the Shield Hero who had shown potential. As a senior executive of the Medici Territory, this identity could also be used for marriage alliances. Compared with the middle and lower class nobles, they would be more willing to contact him.

As a feudal nobleman, he would sometimes arrange marriages for his subordinates. On the one hand, it was for the sake of their families, and on the other hand, it could create a beneficial relationship for Green. Marriage was always the best prerequisite for cooperation.

"This"

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer this question.

marry?

This seemed too far away from him.

And he recently fell in love with the demi-human girl traveling with him, the bear-man Adora.

"You are a noble after all, so you can marry more than once, but your principal wife cannot be a demihuman, understand? Our territory is not open to that extent yet."

"Yes"

Huh?

As he was talking, Green realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Help me! I can't die yet."

Kurt raised his hand with difficulty and grabbed Green's shin guard. He held on tightly with his eyes full of expectation and pleading, as if a drowning person was looking forward to grabbing a life-saving straw.

If a person with weak mind saw this, he might really consider sparing his life. But unfortunately, the person he met had no morals and was not determined to be a Taoist.

Oh?

By the way, I was so busy talking that I forgot to kill you.

"Hey, you're not dead yet? You have such a strong vitality."

It's incredible. They're still alive despite such serious injuries. Should we call them the "Double Heroes"? They're truly amazing.

"Sorry Gu"

"Sorry for what?"

"I'm sorry I didn't let you use your full strength"

The man seemed to have some shame on his face. He had actually wanted to hide his strength at the beginning and didn't want to kill the earl.

The result has come to this point.

A bright smile appeared on Green's face. He reached behind his back and directly picked up his broad-bladed greatsword. This weapon had changed since he obtained the power of Hercules. Not only did the Hercules state change its appearance, but even its regular form became colder and transformed in an unknown direction.

"Well, it's okay. You're pretty good already. I don't think I'll forget you for about three years."

"Goodbye then."

Cana~

call!

The Earl's expression changed instantly, and it seemed as if a skull was wailing on the broad-bladed sword.

"Hmm? Lord Green, are you going to kill him outright? Or should we take him back to the capital and have him tried in court?"

The young man from the 21st century raised his shield to stop the earl. He couldn't bear to see his fellow brave man being killed. Shouldn't this matter be handed over to the local court?

"Are you crazy? Shangwen, do you really think that those nobles who have different opinions and are obsessed with their own interests can treat you fairly?"

"And I am the Earl, I am the law."

Green sneered, "Naive boy."

These words left Naofumi Iwamine speechless. He was also a victim before. If it weren't for the help of Count Medici, he might still be imprisoned in the dungeon of the kingdom.

In this case, the Shield Hero could only walk away honestly, unwilling to see such a scene.

"Haha, then this is really the last time."

He raised his broadsword again but heard loud shouts from afar. Green frowned and recognized it at a glance.

It was a royal family member, Kyle Phoenix, who was rushing over with four or five other people, probably wanting to save Kurt's life.

After all, this is a hero with two divine weapons. Although he cannot exert all the power of the hero, as long as he is trained carefully, he can still tap into his huge potential. The royal family calls this kind of person a legendary seed, referring to someone who has the potential to become a legend.

“Spare his life!!!”

Keep people?

What about Liu Nima? Do you think that Di Renjie was going to execute someone in the autumn, and a group of people came to plead for mercy?

Green's sword paused for a moment, and then he smiled at His Royal Highness the Prince in a friendly manner from a distance.

Subsequently.

"puff!!!!!!!!!"

A large amount of blood gushed out like a faucet.

Chapter 101: Heir, Assassination Storm XII

Half an hour ago

At night, the palace's dark chambers seemed especially dark and mysterious. The surrounding walls, constructed of polished black marble, radiated a deep luster. Exquisite wall lamps were scattered throughout the space, their faint flames flickering in the darkness, lending the chamber a hazy and tranquil atmosphere.

The floor was covered with a thick, soft, dark carpet, making walking on it soundless. In the corner of the dark room stood several unique antique ornaments, half-hidden by shadows, adding to the mystery.

Tall bookcases lined the walls, their contents neatly arranged with precious ancient tomes. The ceiling was painted with intricate and ornate patterns, their exquisite beauty faintly palpable even in the gloom. The old king, clad in rich attire, wore a gloomy expression. His robe, crafted from the finest silk, intricately embroidered with patterns, and adorned with dazzling gems, could not conceal the gloom within him.

The old king's face, which had originally been ruddy and majestic, was now as gloomy and frightening as the sky after a storm.

His brows were furrowed, forming deep wrinkles like mountains and rivers, as if he were carrying the heavy burden of an entire kingdom. His eyes were bloodshot, their once bright pupils now shrouded in a haze, revealing deep worry and uncontrollable anger. His lips, bloodless and tightly pursed, trembled slightly, as if he was trying desperately to suppress the rage that was about to burst forth.

He just stood there, his gloomy face made the atmosphere around him seem to freeze. His two children didn't dare to breathe, and the whole palace fell into a suffocating silence.

The old king had many children, but only these two had the potential to inherit the throne.

Finally, as if reaching his limit, the old king slapped his once beloved daughter in the face.

"madness!!!!"

"Look at what you've done! You actually dared to assassinate an earl! Is your brain made of paste? Now Kurt has already set off. Damn it, what on earth have you done?"

He was so angry. How could someone do such a thing? This woman must have lost her mind. She should have ejaculated directly on the wall to avoid causing trouble for herself.

Laluna Bamain Phoenix covered her red face in disbelief. This was the first time she was beaten by her father.

This even made her feel resentful at one point. Did she hit me because of this kind of thing?

Isn't it just about assassinating the Count? If the assassination succeeds, then that's it. Is it necessary?

So what?

"Father, we are the royal family! He is just a vassal, yet he opposes us at every turn and humiliates a member of the royal family. Is there anything wrong with what I have done?"

She held her breath and cursed Green in her heart. This bastard caused her to be beaten by her father again. Last time it was her brother Kyle and a bunch of bastards!

However, she was responded with another slap.

"Snapped!!!"

The slap was so heavy and deep that her face almost became red and swollen, which made her feel very wronged. The king had never been so angry.

Have you not seen the true situation of the country even at this age?

Is she blinded by power, or is there something wrong with her teacher's brain? She can't even understand such a simple truth?

The old king grabbed his hair, his eyes emitting a gloomy atmosphere. It's not that the royal family has never assassinated a great noble like the earl, but this is a last resort, especially at an extremely critical moment.

No one has ever tried to assassinate a great nobleman by insulting the royal family. Dignity is something important, but it must be treated rightly!

If it was an ordinary person, or even some minor nobles who did it secretly, it would be fine, but this is a count!

One of the most powerful dozen noble families in the kingdom!

"Idiot! Tell us tomorrow who her teacher is. If not, find him today and ask him how he teaches!"

The king suppressed his anger. He had to explain all this to his foolish daughter.

How could such a person be one of my own kind?

"We are a royal family, yes, but we are only a royal family! Although they call me the king on the surface, look at those nobles, which one is easy to deal with? We are just a noble family that is slightly more powerful and has a longer history."

Seeing my father admit it in person, Mai Yin felt like she was doused with a bucket of cold water. How could this happen? We are royalty!

king!

The great king! The great royal family!

Isn't he just a noble? He's just a guy who helps us manage the land. Is it that serious?

"How could this be our kingdom? And he's just a rising noble family, why should we give him face?"

She vaguely remembered being humiliated in the street. He was just a lucky guy who became an earl. Why?

"Besides, he has no children. Isn't this a good opportunity? As long as we kill him, we can definitely take over five or six counties with our arrangements! By then..."

Her territory was close to Green. Originally, Main wanted to take this opportunity to annex more territory, but he was discovered by his brother Kyle and then exposed to the king, resulting in the current situation.

Hearing this, the old king became even more disappointed. Didn't he know how much he was capable of?

He realized that there might be some problems with the royal education. The teachers, due to various factors, were unable to directly teach the things that only the nobles knew, which led to Main's situation.

Snapped!

Another slap knocked Main unconscious, and the princess's face even swelled up.

"You bastard! Then why don't you go fight the demi-humans? I bet if Count Medici died today, the demi-humans would come back tomorrow! It's only been a few years, and have you forgotten how many nobles we lose every year to demi-humans?

"Not only the Medici Territory, but also all the territories our royal family has previously taken will be vomited out! Otherwise, why do you think I tolerate him? Isn't it to use him as a shield for the north?"

Although the Medici family took over a lot of territories, other nobles also benefited from it, including the royal family, which also gained a lot of land in the north.

Before Green repelled the demi-humans, the nobles of the North were synonymous with bad luck. However, after the rise of the Medici family, this land became attractive again. The royal family also gained a lot, and there were many territories close to the Medici family.

If they were killed, a large portion of them might be devoured by the royal family, but what about the demi-humans?

Even though the demi-humans seem unable to get up now, as long as Green dies, they will definitely make a comeback.

No one wants to be neighbors with the demi-humans. In the past, a large number of nobles in the kingdom died every year fighting against the demi-humans. Every noble family had to pay expensive taxes for armaments. The royal family was also suffering. They had finally lived a peaceful life for a few years. Are they going to go back to the pre-liberation era?

No one wants to go back to the days when they lived frugally to fight against the demi-humans. This is why other nobles tolerate new players like the Medici family. No one wants to be neighbors with demi-humans, so only the Medici family is willing to do so.

"I'm so disappointed in you Kyle!"

The old king looked at the silent prince. The prince lowered his head and thought to himself the whole time without saying a word, his body trembling occasionally, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

In fact, he was already laughing uncontrollably. His sister was so stupid that she had ruined everything.

When he heard the king's call, he immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully waited for instructions.

"Father."

The old king took a deep breath and roughly estimated the time. Maybe he still had time?

"Hurry up and take your men to stop Kurt! He's very powerful and has two different kinds of hero powers. He might be able to kill Green."

It turned out to be the case.

Kyle frowned slightly as a question occurred to him.

"Yes, Father. What happens next? What if Earl Green demands too much?"

Yes, the assassination has probably been exposed. Since Count Medici cannot be killed, the royal family must pay a price to make Medici shut up.

"It's up to you. As long as it's not too much, you can agree to it."

"Yes."

After the discussion, the king looked at his daughter kneeling beside him with a puzzled look. He used to think his daughter had a promising future, but now she seemed to have many problems. She couldn't even understand some of the most basic things in the kingdom.

If the royal family is truly powerful, so powerful that the other nobles combined cannot defeat it, then why does the royal family occupy less than 10% of the country's land? Why does each noble family have absolute control over their own territory? Why do they even need a Senate?
