Chapter 542

"Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, do you understand your identity?

As a noble of the Kingdom, you now intend to stand on the side of this group of mud-legged adventurers?"

Facing the female adventurer who was about to be punished and even sent to the bed of a corrupt noble tonight, Lakyus also stood up, and facing the Kingdom's First Prince Barbro, Lakyus was not cowardly at all.

"Prince Barbro, the matter is already very clear. It was Count Charles who was rude first.

So even if this female adventurer accidentally slapped him, it was completely reasonable."

"Reasonable? Count Charles is a noble of the Kingdom. His family has made quite a few contributions to the Kingdom in the past.

And according to the laws of the Kingdom, if a commoner takes action against a Kingdom noble, they originally have to face punishment.

Lakyus, you are Shengzai's fiancée, barely considered a member of our Royal Family. Get your position straight and don't smear our Royal Family."

Facing the aggressive First Prince Barbro, Lakyus could only seek help from Ramposa III, who was sitting in the upper position.

And this old King, who was just complacent about his achievements, now faced the disputing sides, and also showed a difficult expression on his face.

Logically speaking, Lakyus was not wrong. After all, it was Count Charles who made the rude behavior first, so the female adventurer should be innocent.

However, many times, things are not that simple.

The nobles of the Kingdom, because of conflicts of interest and marriage, were almost all birds of a feather standing on the same boat.

If Count Charles was punished here, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of other Kingdom nobles.

As the master of a country, Ramposa III had to consider many things, not just simple right and wrong.

And just as Ramposa III looked at Lakyus apologetically and intended to open his mouth to say something, Shengzai's voice was the first to come from the side.

"Royal Brother Barbro, I really cannot agree with what you just said.

What contributions this Count Charles has made to the Kingdom, I haven't seen, but this female adventurer who was teased is a hero who defended the Royal Capital this time.

She accepted the invitation of our Royal Family to participate in this banquet, but now she was teased by some cats and dogs in the banquet hosted by our Royal Family. I think this is the insult to our Royal Family, right?

So I think this Count Charles must apologize to this lady immediately, otherwise our Kingdom will not tolerate any noble who acts recklessly."

Hearing Shengzai's decisive words, the eyes of the adventurers at the scene looking at Shengzai instantly carried colors of gratitude and admiration.

As for Lakyus and that female adventurer, there was no need to say more. At this moment, the eyes they looked at Shengzai with were almost able to pull silk.

"Shengzai, don't go too far! You actually let Count Charles apologize to a commoner!"

Facing the son born of a concubine whom he often hung on his lips, Barbro was actually a bit short of breath when facing Shengzai.

However, he also understood that if he didn't support Count Charles now, those nobles who supported him would be even more disappointed in him in the future.

So for the sake of the throne, even if he was a bit afraid of Shengzai, he had to bite the bullet and go hard against Shengzai at this moment.

"Royal Brother Barbro, you have to get it straight now. When the Royal Capital was attacked by demons, it was these adventurer commoners you speak of who stepped forward, not the nobles around you.

Now I give this Count Charles two choices: either apologize to this lady, or I will apologize for him."

Shengzai said while slowly drawing the knight's longsword from his waist, and the murderous aura emitted from his body undoubtedly told everyone that he was not joking.

In the Royal Palace banquet, whether it was adventurers or nobles, obviously they could not carry weapons.

However, as a Prince, Shengzai obviously was not in this category.

Seeing that Shengzai really intended to kill, the people around were also panicked. Even Gazef, who was Ramposa III's guard, was nervously stepping forward at this moment, signaling Shengzai not to be impulsive.

"Father, do you also agree with what Royal Brother Barbro just said?"

Facing Shengzai's inquiry, Ramposa III obviously didn't want to make things too big, so he also said to Shengzai: "Shengzai, let this matter end here."

And when hearing Ramposa III's answer, Shengzai also shook his head disappointedly.

"It seems my previous decision was right. Father, you really don't have the courage to lead the Kingdom to prosperity.

Since that's the case, then you might as well abdicate and let Royal Brother Zanac be the King early."

The moment Shengzai's voice fell, the whole scene also fell into a dead silence, because what Shengzai just said was much more serious than things like the conflict between adventurers and nobles.

It could even be considered rebellious!

"Shengzai, you bastard, do you know what you are saying?"

When hearing what Shengzai said, the person who was most excited was not Ramposa III, but the First Prince Barbro, whose face was so angry that it looked like a pig's liver.

Furthermore, Shengzai's methods and strength were far stronger than they had imagined, and Albedo couldn't be sure if using "Hell Abyss" would definitely finish off Shengzai.

Whether Shengzai was rebellious or not was one thing, but just because of his words today, the entire Kingdom probably knew that the Kingdom's genius Third Prince thought more highly of the Second Prince Zanac.

"Guards! Guards! What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and capture this rebellious guy.

And Gazef, you guy, don't tell me that because Shengzai once had kindness to you, you will let such a rebellious person act recklessly!"

Facing the angry First Prince Barbro, Gazef also looked at Ramposa III, who was sitting on the throne, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Prince Shengzai is only because he is too angry, so he said such unintentional words. Please look at his kindness to the Kingdom..."

"Gazef, no need to plead for me, because this was originally my true thought.

Now that the opportunity is rare, and there are quite a few witnesses present, then I will say it again.

Father, for the sake of the Kingdom's future, please abdicate the throne to Royal Brother Zanac."

Shengzai's voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone felt deafening.

Not to mention the adventurer and Kingdom nobles present, even Lakyus and they, who had already discussed it, were directly dumbfounded at this moment.

The surprise of the Kingdom nobles and adventurers was that they never expected that the Third Prince, who was famous in the Kingdom, would force the palace so blatantly.

And the surprise of Zanac and Marquis Raeven was that they never expected that Shengzai would directly flip the table on such an occasion.

No, even if they prepared to coerce Ramposa III to submit for the sake of the Kingdom, at least give them some preparation time to assemble the army.

Now that they showed their cards directly without any preparation, wouldn't they be finished if they were surrounded by the guards later?
