Chapter 416 – Tournament (3)
The curtain has finally come down on the jousting tournament.
The winner became the Knight of the Lily.
Maybe it was natural.
Seojun’s sudden departure from the stadium was the equivalent of throwing in the towel – whatever the reason, he was disqualified.
Maybe that’s why there was such an uproar.
Even in modern times when people are relatively aware, people are easily enthusiastic and easily guided.
Highly educated people infatuated with cults, the majority of German citizens loyal to the Nazi Party -.
Even they are like that, but is it any different with the crowd here?
From their perspective, Seojun was a hero.
Everyone saw the famous being called the Knight of Dawn chasing the woman holding a sword and giggling like a crazy person.
Moreover, the woman was a pregnant woman, and I saw her rolling on the dirt several times, holding her stomach to protect her child rather than her own life.
In order to save the woman, Seojun left the arena and cut off her head from the villain who was trying to harm her, thus protecting the woman and her unborn child.
This was a noble act of giving up one’s personal glory and trying to protect life.
But what about disqualification?
Worse still, he was arrested on the spot for daring to cut off the knight’s head.
To become a hero who saved two lives, he became a criminal – tied to a rope and bowing his head…
This was enough to throw the hundreds of spectators who were standing in the stands, cheering for the contestants with enthusiasm, shouting, and yelling, into a crucible of frenzy.
“Free him immediately!”
“We can’t agree-!”
“What did he do wrong…!”
“Is the woman okay? Please make sure the child is okay…!”
At that point, the nobles sitting in the VIP seats, as well as the merchants and rich farmers who had paid a considerable amount of money for seats, could not help but pay attention.
No matter how many guard knights or mercenaries there are to protect me, how can I not be bothered by so many people yelling and swearing at me?
“Joyooooong-!”
However, Grand Balthazar was not swayed by such things at all.
When Sir Johannes Balor, the 3rd leader of the Golden Knights who ordered Seojun’s arrest, shouts with so much mana, the sound is loud enough to make the mountains, rivers, and trees tremble.
The noisy audience suddenly became quiet, and tension lingered among the sons-in-law.
The crowd was screaming loudly as if they were going to start a riot at any moment, the soldiers were pointing spear knives at Seo-jun and tying them to a horse, and Seo-jun was showing his force by putting his hand on his pommel to draw his weapon at any time. Even my companions.
It was a close call.
“Hmm… Thank you, Sir Johannes.”
“No.”
The 3rd leader, who had attracted attention, stepped down and was replaced by the eleventh son of the Golden Ball.
The person with the highest rank was the temporary head of the family for now.
She was a man who exposed women so much that he used Lily’s breasts as a dick to masturbate her during dinner, but at this moment, he knew very well what his role was.
The ten-year-old brushed back her hair, which had grown out here and there, steadied her voice and shouted loudly.
“What are you doing-! “Without looking at the woman’s health right away!”
Only then did the soldiers take care of the woman who was lying on the floor and moaning at Elevennam’s words.
He also glanced at the old healers of the Balthazar family who were standing quietly behind him.
“Why are you just standing there staring? Run and treat until your beard flies! Pour out all your divine power! Clean! Don’t leave even the slightest scratch! Do you understand?”
He knew what was most important right now.
This is how politics should be done.
The main issue was eliminating the other side’s cause and increasing our side’s cause.
A knight from the Balthazar family had already committed a deadly attack in broad daylight, at a festival where the city’s crowd had gathered.
Moreover, since the other person was a pregnant woman carrying a child, it is no exaggeration to say that Balthazar’s reputation has now fallen into the mud.
So, we had to somehow minimize what the Knight of Dawn did and magnify the mistakes made by a mercenary named Seojun.
If it were just the ignorant people who were here, it wouldn’t have mattered at all to do whatever they wanted.
After cutting off the mercenary’s head with harsh words and cutting off the pregnant woman’s head – that bitch opened her legs first and seduced the innocent knight of dawn -! All I had to do was spread the rumor.
However, the nobles in the VIP seats were a problem.
They also had eyes and ears.
Moreover, interest in the situation that suddenly occurred increased greatly. It wouldn’t be hidden even if they kept it hidden, and there was no other way to keep their mouths shut.
Not only will today’s events be leaked out, but it will also be strangely exaggerated and distorted in social circles for a while, making it an easy snack to chew on.
This means that depending on how he handles things, his father may reprimand him or reward him.
“Huuukhuuk – Go, Young master…!”
After a while, the old healer came back in a huff, and Young master got off his butt and asked:
“How was it? Are you okay? “Is the child safe?”
“That’s…”
The therapist stroked his beard and shook his head.
Eleven Nam’s face was completely black and dead.
“Fuck, did you lose it…? Then what about the mother?”
“No, no. Both are fine. Not yet. Fortunately, it looks like the knife missed the child… “The mother is in critical condition because she has lost too much blood.”
Hearing those words with 10 days remaining, I let out a sigh of relief and slumped down in his chair.
He then threw up his hand.
“Then that’s enough. He somehow managed to put his life on the line. Just make sure to keep both the baby and the mother alive! Okay? “If you don’t, I’ll take your clothes off!”
First, those two had to survive. Only then could I have anything to say.
Look – you lived, right? So it wasn’t a big deal? Did he just drink too much and his eyes were rolling? It could be dismissed as just that.
But the old therapist doesn’t go back right away and mutters something.
“Well, there is also a way to cut open the mother’s abdomen and take the baby out. At least the child will survive.”
“You bastard…! That’s what I said…!”
With ten days remaining, I forgot that everyone was listening and started screaming, then bit down on his snout.
I was about to say something, but the therapist added while sweating.
“The mother wants it.”
With those words, he wiped his face with 10 days to go.
I looked around, but the brothers and sisters who inherited the proud blood of Balthazar the Golden turned their heads away, afraid to make eye contact with him, fearing that a spark might hit them.
Hey you bastards-!
Young master’ back became damp with cold sweat.
What if the mother’s words are ignored and both of them die?
Even though Balthazar’s reputation would not fall to the ground, it was clear that his father would be furious for tarnishing the family name.
In severe cases, you may be excommunicated and even lose the name of Balthazar-.
In fact, because there was such a precedent – Eleven Nams face was literally dead.
“···If you do that. If that happens, can the mother survive?”
“We don’t know for sure, but…”
The therapist nodded and pointed to the auditorium where the audience was standing.
“She says there is a nun over there with considerable divine powers, so perhaps she might be a good one to look to.”
The 11-year-old suddenly got up and screamed until thick saliva splashed on the therapist’s face.
“You should have said that a long time ago…! Bring it to me right now! No, take him to the treatment room! And that guy… That mercenary guy…”
In order for Balthazar to survive, summary execution would have been the right thing to do.
However, where should we find fault with his actions? There is no need to be fair – but there was no reason to spread notoriety in social circles.
What’s more, wasn’t he the guy who was active in the jousting competition just now?
On the contrary, if he were given a knighthood and treated properly as a hero and treated with respect, it was obvious that only good stories would spread in various ways.
If you give him a chest of gold coins and give him a handful of jewels, he will become a golden Balthazar…! And I will praise you.
Of course, letters of protest will pour in from the Count Erndt family, the family of the Knight of Dawn, and they may publicly criticize the Balthazar family. No – it will definitely happen that way.
So what is the benefit and what is the loss?
No, in the end, what is the benefit to me?
After thinking about it for a while, I finally gave up my hand.
“Let the mercenary go. No, he’s a knight now. Anyway, bring it here. I will personally honor you as the winner of a jousting competition and award you a knighthood. Oh, tell that to the Lily Knight. “It would be better in many ways to abstain and step down from here.”
Eleven Nam chose the path to increase his prestige.
What’s going on with the Count Erndt family… What can these innocent count bastards do? This is the family of the Imperial Seven Dukes. All I can do is send a complaint letter? It was no use spreading rumors about the dirty tastes of a fallen knight.
A dead person is a dead person, and a living person must live.
Eleven Nam’s work was done quickly, and Seojun became a knight and was given a considerable amount of gold coins and jewels.
And…
“Ueeeeennn-!”
The child came out safely.
