Chapter 88

Castle hall.

"Stop!"

Looking at Victor, who was fleeing at extreme speed and had already rushed out of the hall, before Xia Mingyu could react, Kalen gave a loud shout, and deep green magic erupted from his body, following him out.

He had already sworn allegiance to His Highness, and Victor actually dared to refuse His Highness's request and go to leak His Highness's news; he was already courting death!

Kalen's move immediately woke up the other lords of the Southern Region.

Good, we all swore oaths, but you don't, and you still want to be loyal to the King of Gluttony; isn't this the best opportunity to show your face in front of this Highness?

"Victor, don't run!"

"Your Highness, I, Warren Rock, will capture him for you today to show my respect for you!"

The lords shouted angrily one after another and followed him out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Torrents of magic of different colors erupted from their bodies, and the hall was as lively as a lantern show for a while.

However... it was all too late.

With just a look from Rosa, the two brothers, Luo Yi and Luo Lan, who were Crescent Moon Knights, erupted with terrifying speed like a hurricane and disappeared in place instantly.

The air wave caused by their movement even caused the wine glasses placed on the long table in the hall to tip over one after another.

Swish! Swish!

Just a few seconds later, the lords had just run out of the hall when they saw the two brothers, Luo Yi and Luo Lan, driving the frantically struggling Victor back.

The lords: "..."

They really didn't give any chance at all? Too much!

"Your Highness, the person who wanted to leak your news has been captured by us."

Luo Yi and Luo Lan drove Victor back to the hall and reported respectfully.

At this moment, they were very glad that they hadn't been impulsive enough to punch this Highness at that time, otherwise, they would only be able to commit suicide to apologize today.

Thinking of this, looking at the man struggling non-stop beside him, the two brothers couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in their hearts, and then they grabbed him even tighter.

Especially Luo Yi, whose wife happened to be pregnant recently, felt even more grateful to Victor, the deserter he had looked down upon before, in his heart.

What a good person, a great good person!

When my future son grows up, I will definitely have him recite a eulogy for you, telling him that the purple light flashing on your head was all exchanged for his life by Uncle Victor, a good person.

And behind them, the other lords of the Southern Region returned with unwillingness and resentment on their faces.

However, Kalen, who returned, was very calm.

After his son obtained the Crescent Moon Rank protection of "Godson of the King," he could already be considered to have achieved success, and he didn't need to ask for any more rewards from His Highness.

Even if he needed to offer his life for His Highness's safety at this moment, he would be willing, as long as he could see his Haidun one more time before he died.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will never let your news leak from the Southern Region."

After seeing Victor captured by her two sons, Rosa promised Xia Mingyu with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, Countess Masha, consider that I owe you a favor." Xia Mingyu said sincerely.

He would say this first because Countess Masha really helped him, and second, favors also depend on the person.

Owing a favor to the master of the Southern Region is not a debt, but his amulet.

"You are too polite, Your Highness, this is just a small effort by my two sons, how can it be called a favor?"

Although Countess Masha said so, both she and her two sons behind her had sunflower-like brilliant smiles on their faces.

Victor: "..."

He, a dignified Viscount of the Night Shadow Territory, a master of a territory, is now being treated as a trophy and being claimed for credit?!

This is a great humiliation!

"Let me go, Masha family, have you forgotten the alliance?"

Victor struggled while shouting.

After hearing the word "alliance," the complexions of all the lords in the hall changed.

And the two brothers, Luo Yi and Luo Lan, even began to hesitate whether to let Victor go.

Even Rosa frowned tightly.

The lords of the Southern Region had been entrenched in the Southern Region for over a hundred years.

In these nearly a hundred years, the marriage relationships between various families, similar to Kalen and Danielle, had never stopped.

You marry my sister, I marry your sister, it was already a relationship of blood mixing where you have me and I have you.

Precisely because of this, about a few decades ago, under the leadership of the Masha family, the leaders of various families signed an alliance under the witness of the Church, swearing with honor.

The content of the alliance was roughly that the families of the Southern Region were not allowed to attack each other, and they had to resist together when there were foreign enemies, and the family that violated the alliance would lose its honor and be attacked by all the families in the Southern Region.

This was also why Victor made the Night Shadow Territory a mess, with starving corpses littering the fields, but the Masha family was slow to take action.

"Let him go." Rosa sighed and said helplessly.

In front of honor, all interests must retreat.

"Hmph." Victor, who had broken free from the restraint, rubbed his red and swollen arms, glared fiercely at the people in the hall, and walked out of the hall.

Just as he was about to walk out of the hall, a tall figure blocked him.

"Kalen, do you want to violate the alliance?" Victor questioned.

"I will not let the honor of my predecessors be shamed." Kalen said lightly.

"Then why don't you get out of the way!?" Victor wanted to bypass Kalen, but was blocked by him again.

"Victor Night Shadow, you asked my daughter to be your concubine, you insulted my daughter, and even more insulted me; I want to initiate a war of honor against you."

When saying these words, Kalen's eyes were as cold as ice.

Hearing this, the eyes of the lords lit up.

Because the alliance sworn by honor only allows wars fought for honor.

"This is unfair!" Victor immediately argued.

"Your daughter is heterochromatic, and she was born to your deceased wife who was a maid; I asked her to be my concubine, this is not an insult, it is a generous acceptance..."

"Shut up!"

Boom!

Before Victor could finish his sentence, Kalen's fist, which had long been clenched to the point of rattling, smashed fiercely into his face with the force of the wind.

Caught off guard, Victor's body flew back like a kite with a broken string and smashed heavily onto a dining table full of food on the side.

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

Food and wine flew everywhere, landing on Victor's white formal dress that had already been stained; his face was red and swollen, and he looked embarrassed.

And Kalen, who had thrown this punch, was still clenching his fists tightly; his deep green eyes were full of anger at this moment, his chest heaving, and he was breathing heavily.

"Lise is my most important child, just as important as Haidun." Kalen repeated this fact in front of everyone again.

"My deceased wife, Dorothy, is the person I have loved most in my life; she made me understand what love is, allowing me to become a qualified husband, a qualified father, and a qualified lord."

"I absolutely do not allow anyone to disturb the rest of her soul in the underworld."

Kalen stood there, glaring at Victor, full of murderous intent between his brows.

"Now, get out of my castle; three days later, I will lead an army to your territory and take your head to hang on the city wall to sacrifice to my deceased wife!"

Victor gritted his teeth and stood up, his face gloomy as if ink could drip from it; he staggered toward the outside of the hall.

Although he was full of hatred and wished he could fight Kalen, this bastard, on the spot, this wasn't his territory, so it was better to return to his own territory and then rush to seek an audience with the King of Gluttony.

"Wait a minute, Victor." At this moment, Rosa called him.

"Once a war of honor is initiated, it is not allowed to be avoided; my two sons will supervise you at the edge of your territory, and if they find you acting as a deserter like in the Dragon-Lion War, they will kill you without mercy."

"After all, this is maintaining honor, and it is not considered a violation of the alliance." Rosa said calmly.

"Rosa, you!"

Hearing this, Victor, who was about to walk out of the hall, turned around and glared at Rosa furiously.

This was equivalent to cutting off his last retreat, and he could only stay and fight to the death with Kalen, this bastard.

"En?"

Seeing that the other party dared to call his mother by her name, the two brothers, Luo Yi and Luo Lan, stood out with clenched fists.

The deterrent power of the two Crescent Moon Knights forced Victor to leave full of resentment, his teeth almost crushed.

Rosa looked calmly at Victor's departing back.

Although she had poor talent in cultivation, even with the reputation and status of the Southern Region Lord, she had only barely raised her professional protection and status protection to the Morning Star Rank.

But she gave birth well!

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will personally lead people to guard the edge of the territory to prevent Victor from sending people to report your news to the King of Gluttony."

After Victor left, Warren Rock was the first to stand out, stepped forward, and saluted Xia Mingyu.

"We are the same..." The other lords expressed their stance one after another.

"Father!"

At this moment, Lise ran over and hugged Kalen tightly, tears constantly flowing from her eye sockets.

Her birth was originally a destined tragedy, but her father had forcibly reversed all of this.

She was really happy.

Looking at this touching scene of father and daughter hugging, Xia Mingyu was also a bit moved.

On Blue Star, he was from an orphanage, had no parents, and no relatives; it was the country that raised him, and in a sense, it could indeed be considered the heir of 1.4 billion people.

"Your Highness, may I ask you a question?" At this moment, Rosa walked over and asked him respectfully.

"Please speak."

"What is this item from your hometown, mobile phone, used for?"

"Uh..." Xia Mingyu's expression froze; he hadn't expected the other party to ask this at all.

"Looking at its appearance, it is as smooth as a mirror; is it used as a mirror?" Rosa continued to ask.

"... Mobile phone is actually a communication tool from my hometown, it's just that it was damaged some time ago and couldn't be used, so I gave it to Young Master Haidun as a connection gift." Xia Mingyu said a bit awkwardly.

After all, although a connection gift doesn't look at value, giving a damaged item as a gift is still a bit hard to say.

"So that's it; thank you for answering my confusion."

Hearing this, Rosa narrowed her eyes calmly on the surface, but a stormy sea had already been stirred up in her heart.

It matches, it matches!

This is exactly the same as the meaning of the word "mobile phone" left by her deceased husband, Leo, and it is also a tool for communication.

Ten years, has she finally found the person her husband had been looking for?

Calm down, further testing is needed.

Rosa summoned her eldest son, whispered a few words to him, and the other party ran out like the wind.

Not long after, Luo Yi returned, holding a small box in his hand.

"Your Highness, I see that your status is incomparably noble, and you have the need to hide your identity; although that black top hat is elegant, it is quite inconvenient."

Rosa said while taking the box handed over by her son and opening it.

Inside the box was a beautiful silver ring, with a flawless crimson gemstone inlaid on the ring setting, shining like solidified flames under the candlelight on the ceiling.

"This is a hidden protection prop that my husband used to wear, and I give it to you as a thank-you gift for being able to serve as my grandson's godfather." Rosa said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Yi and Luo Lan were shocked and looked at their mother, their eyes full of confusion.

They knew very well how much their mother cherished this ring; after their father died, both of them wanted this ring to prove who was their mother's favorite child, but they were both rejected.

Even if it was to please this Highness, there was no need to take out their father's legacy!

"A gift from an elder, I dare not refuse."

Xia Mingyu took the ring and wore it on his index finger; it was unexpectedly a perfect fit.

"Does this ring have a name?" He couldn't help but ask.

"My husband called it..." Rosa said while concentrating on observing the subtle changes in Xia Mingyu's expression.

"Spark."
