Wren involuntarily narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath as he walked out of the Earl's Palace. www.biquge.info After half a month, he finally felt the taste of daylight and wind and snow again.

Soldiers in uniform could be seen everywhere outside, and instead of rushing into the house to loot, they were orderly guarding the intersections. Occasionally, there was blood in the snow, but not a single body could be found, and there were no scattered clothes or fabrics on the ground—which meant they had cleared the battlefield without looting the dead...... Wren confirmed his thoughts once again, this team was unlike any unit he had ever seen.

"Is Pero alright?" he looked at the iron axe beside him, "Changge Fortress...... How's it going?"

"All is well," the muscular alien said few words, and his answer was simple, but he always got an answer if he asked himself.

All was fine as it meant that Jacques Med's plan had not succeeded, and he was a little relieved that if the fortress had not been damaged and the Honeysuckle family had not been damaged in the slightest, Pero would have said a few good things for himself. As for Jacques's fate, he didn't bother to think about it, a fool who almost dragged the elk into the abyss, nothing to do with him.

"Brother...... Jacques, what the hell did he do?" asked Aurelian leaning over and whispering.

He hesitated, then finally shook his head, "I don't know either. ”

The other party suddenly showed an expression that you were lying to me.

Wren smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how to answer the question...... If Jacques tried to rebel, he only heard about it in the planning stage, and he had no idea what it would be like in the end. There was silence for a moment before he spoke, "Are you really going to go with you to the castle?"

"Of course. I'm curious as to what happened to make these people dare to break into the Earl's Court in broad daylight," she glared at Iron Axe, "Lord Pero will not sit idly by. ”

Wren knew that the third sister was actually worried about the other party, so he finally had to nod, "It's okay, if you ask him, he should tell you the details." ”

The group rode along the snow-covered avenue for about half an hour and arrived at the fortress at noon.

Led by Iron Axe, the Wren siblings ascended to the third floor, where the defenses were tighter, with a guard on guard almost every few steps.

After entering a room that looked like a study, he finally saw Perro Hermon, a childhood friend. But the other man was just standing respectfully, and in front of the desk sat a gray-haired man, who was playing with the quill in his hand, and looked at himself and Aurelian with interest. Almost instantly, Wren remembered the man's identity.

He immediately knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness, Wren Vader greets you. ”

"This is ......" Aurelian was a little surprised, but at Wren's gentle gesture, he still bent down and saluted.

"We've met at the Fortress of Long Song," the prince smiled, "in the basement of the castle." I just heard from Iron Axe that you're locked up again this time?"

"Uh......" Wren was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, His Highness didn't really want to hear the answer, "Get up." Before I gave the order to attack the Elk family's territory, Perrault repeatedly assured me that you would never be involved in the rebellion orchestrated by Jacques Med, and it seems that he was right. But...... How did you get in?"

Wren glanced at Pero gratefully, and then recounted everything that had happened in the family.

"I see," the prince nodded, "it's a pity, if you can stop the Elk Count, the fortress of Long Song won't have to suffer this calamity." ”

The other party's words shocked Wren's heart, and Aurelian couldn't help but ask, "Big brother...... What's wrong?"

"Jacques Med colluded with Maple Leaf, Running Wolf, and Wild Rose to attack the Fortress of Changge the day before yesterday. His Royal Highness the Prince said coldly, "This attack resulted in many innocent casualties, two blocks were burned, and even in order to force Honeysuckle to surrender, they did not hesitate to do anything to Peiluo's family. ”

Wren almost suspected that he had misheard the last sentence, even if he was at war with a rival nobleman, it was an extremely shameful act to threaten the other party with his relatives, and Jacques actually did such a thing?

"This rebellion is very wide-ranging, but I promise you that no one who takes part in the attack will escape the punishment of the law—and the rebels will be punished severely!" said the prince, knocking on the table, "I have come to the fortress to sweep the whole western realm without sparing a single mouse!"

Wren felt a fine sweat break out on his back, "Your Highness, I-"

"Don't worry, I won't be angry with those who are innocent," Roland interrupted with a wave of his hand, "You don't have to worry about the Elk family being cut off from now on." In fact, I was about to ask you a question, Jacques Med has died in the rebellion, would you like to inherit the title of Earl and serve me like Hermon?"

There was little second answer to this question, and Wren Dmitry did not hesitate to kneel and swear allegiance with the standard knightly rite of acceptance.

As he took the oath, he found an unexpected peace of mind.

In fact, he had never hated the prince who had taken his father's life - on the battlefield, anyone could have an accident, let alone the Duke of Lane and the other five families who started the war, not His Royal Highness. After the war, he did not treat the defeated nobles harshly, and exchanged ransom for prisoners in the way that the nobles acquiesced. If my father hadn't died on the spot, I guess he would have returned to the territory safely like Count Honeysuckle.

Wren was trained as a knight and took the idea of knighthood to heart, and any battle in the open is commendable, while Jacques's approach is completely dishonorable and meaningless except to deepen mutual hatred.

And for the sake of Aurelian and the other innocent members of the family, he must also take it, without the protection of the elk, they may never be able to live in peace.

After the oath was taken, the prince smiled and nodded, "You can live in the castle with your sister in the next few days, and Pero will arrange a room for you." There are other clans in the outskirts right now, and it won't be too late for you to return to your territory when this rebellion is completely quelled. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

After Wren left the study, Perro followed suit.

Looking at this friend who had lost a lot of weight, he had mixed feelings for a while, "I'm sorry......"

"It's not your fault," Perro patted him on the shoulder, "don't take it personally. ”

For some reason, he felt that he had distanced himself from the other party, and in Pei Luo's eyes, there was a look that he had never seen before, like steel that had been repeatedly beaten in the fire, reflecting a vague perseverance and calmness.

He's becoming a true leader, Wren realized. (To be continued.) )
