Chapter 707: covenant

   Chapter 707 Contract Law
After the arrest warrant of the second prince was issued, the surrounding people burst into exclamations, even if the vassals and nobles present were mature and prudent, the foreign envoys were knowledgeable, and the guards were brave and fearless, no matter what they heard. Discolored one after another:
Earl Noah Havia of Yanbi Port couldn't hide his shock, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor and not disgrace the family's reputation of "shooting the bow of the sun", but the eldest daughter of sixteen beside him looked at Jenn Cover your mouth with your hands and lose your color;
  The Earl of Chaoyanghua from Changqingdao, Bruce Hucadel looked at the duke and prince with complicated eyes, and at the same time called his entourage to ask something;
   Count Acheson Lasia of the Marshland was blue-faced, trembling all over, murmuring in his mouth, if not for the eldest son to stop him, I am afraid that he would say something that goes against the noble demeanor;
   Karabiyan's twins put away their folding fans and discussed anxiously together, but every time Kai'Sa said a word, Qina shook her head solemnly;
  The captain of the Sea Wolf fleet looked savage, he roughly pushed his mistress away, dragged his first mate, and discussed something in a frenzy, keeping the words "exit", "departure", "sail" and so on;
   Hassan, the special envoy of the state head of the Tyrann trading state, turned his eyes. He rubbed his eyebrowless upper brow bone and looked at the determined Thales, his smile became more and more intriguing;
The vampire guest of the feast collar, Senator Yannick Houllier waved the anxious servants back, he raised his head thoughtfully, and his sharp eyes looked at the other end of the crowd - there, Rei from the kingdom of night Corleone didn't say a word, just looked at the clear moon in the sky.
In the chaos of the flickering lights, only the old housekeeper Ashford, who had seen strong winds and waves, had a calm expression. He clasped Xilai's arm and stepped back, and said something in a low voice, not letting the emotional eldest lady make any regrets. When it happened, the shabby knight of Cassion stopped in front of them and helped the old butler to protect his young lady.
  The people up and down the stands relayed messages, and soon, the entire arena fell into chaos, even the Emerald Legion was no exception.
   "Calm down! Calm down! Regroup!"
  The Seychelles knight roared, scolding his subordinates who were in chaos behind him, and even the formation was a little loose.
   "But sir," an officer with an eternal lantern said boldly, "but he said it was the king's..."
  Seychelles turned around and drank:
   "You didn't hear anything!"
The    officer was a little dizzy at his roar, and tightened the green helmet on his head: "Yes, of course, sir...but what should we do?"
   "Keep your posts!" Seychelles shouted hoarsely.
   "Captain, should we do it first," the second officer was alert to the Star Lake Guards surrounding the prince, "in case they..."
   "But they are all big men from the capital..." Another officer was worried, "If we do it..."
   "Then what if they attack us, don't they fight back?"
   "Don't move lightly without my order!" Seychelles tried his best to restrain his nervous and impulsive subordinates, and cast a look of help to Jenn, "Don't forget where this is and who is paying you salaries!"
   But the tense and chaotic atmosphere affected not only the locals of the Emerald City.
Miranda, who was on the front line, cast a surprised and puzzled look at Thales. Rolfe stared at the rows of green hat soldiers in front of him, with a ruthless face and slightly bent knees. Fortunately, Glover had expected it. He clasped his shoulders to stop Mute from doing anything impulsive.
   "Strange, looking at this group of green hats' reaction," D.D in the Star Lake Guard felt the surging waves in all directions and felt uneasy, "It feels like we are surrounded by them."
   "You feel right," Paul said in a deep voice, looking at the prince's quiet back, thoughtfully.
   "Your Highness."
  Wiya Casso came behind Thales and repeated the prince's order in disbelief:
   "I'm sorry I have to double-check, but...you want us to arrest Duke Jan? Here? Now?"
  He looked forward:
   Behind Zhan stood at least two teams of well-equipped emerald sergeants. They were well-trained. Although they were unavoidably chaotic and frightened, they still stood closely and were ready to rush up to guard the Duke at all times.
  Wya turns around again:
Unknowingly, the emerald sergeant in green armor was already surrounded by the urging of the officers, separating them from the rest of the crowd, standing in line, waiting in line, while Thales and the Star Lake Guards behind him were like the sea. Isolated island, withstood the waves in all directions.
Farther away, the green hats piled up in almost every corner from the stands to the passage. There were archers equipped with bows and crossbows in the high places, and there were even cavalry soldiers riding on high-headed horses with amazing momentum. They scolded the watchers. The crowd cast unfamiliar vigilant glances at the Star Lake Guards at the same time.
   At the forefront of the team, Thales did not answer Wyah, nor did he express his dissatisfaction with the waiter's delayed order.
   He just stared at Jenn on the opposite side.
   The Duke of South Bank also looked back at him coldly.
   "Everyone, stay calm," Glover whispered. He was always paying attention to the chaotic crowd around him, clenching his teeth and tensing his nerves, "From now on, I will take over the command."
   "But His Highness said that we should arrest the suspect," Nexi eagerly looked at the Duke of South Bank opposite, and drew his sword, "How about we..."
  D.D's expression changed, and he grabbed his hand: "No!"
   Across from them, a sharp-eyed officer saw Neshi's movements, and he shouted in fright:
   "They're going to do it!"
   His reaction alarmed other colleagues, panic and hostility spread instantly, and the formation of the Emerald Legion fluctuated like a wave:
   "Defense!"
   "Legion, protect the Duke!"
   "Are we really going to do it?"
   "Stand! Hold the line!"
   "That's the king's son..."
   "Self-defense doesn't count as treason, right?"
   "Push them back!"
   For a while, there were shouts, arguments, screams, shouts of killing, and even the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and the audience in the distance also screamed in surprise.
Everyone in the   Xinghu Guards was shocked, forming a formation back-to-back, facing the restless soldiers around, they followed Huaya and slowly approached the prince.
   Thales frowned.
   "I said hold on!"
   Glover gritted his teeth, but he didn't have time to investigate Neshi's actions, even though the latter had been petrified by the surging waves in all directions.
   "Oops, everyone is holding their weapons, fearful and nervous," Miranda said solemnly, "There is no easier time to blow up the camp than this."
   "Sunset, I'd rather go to Fuxing Palace again..." D.D held down Nie Xi, looking at the crowded Jade Legion, with a headache.
"real?"
   "Then you can talk about it..."
   "Sunset, we shouldn't have divided our troops." Facing the dark enemy in his sight, Neshi reacted, his hand on the hilt trembled slightly, "We should..."
   "There are more than a thousand of them, not counting the more peripheral troops. When we are all together, it will be useful." Morgan disdainfully said.
   "It's not just about the number of people."
   In the team, Paul's eyes were focused on the prince and the duke.
   "His Royal Highness said, in 'the name of the king'..."
   All the guards froze in unison.
   "If we have a conflict with the Emerald Legion at this time, or even shed blood and casualties, it will be far more than just the grievance between His Royal Highness and the Duke..." Paul said solemnly, "The sparks we wiped out when we swung our swords may set the entire kingdom on fire."
   When everyone heard the words, they suddenly felt that their footsteps were extremely heavy, and Nie hoped for the hilt of his sword, his face pale.
   "So, who's going to wield this first sword in history?" Paul turned his head and looked at everyone in the team, "How are you, D.D?"
  Doyle swallowed his throat, let go of the hilt, and showed a gentle and humble smile.
   "But the good news is," Miranda nodded, staring at the Seychelles knight who shouted at her, "they didn't dare either."
"Quiet!"
   At this moment, Jenn's voice sounded from the crowd, loud and high-pitched.
   "Hold on! Stand back!"
   "Put your weapons away!"
   "Are you in a hurry to die!"
   "Stand up!"
  Led by Seychelles, the officers who were close to each other responded one after another, and the Duke's order was conveyed layer by layer. After a few seconds, the restless crowd retreated under the scolding and restraint, and the noisy scene finally quieted down.
  No one dared to approach three meters around the prince and duke, but the Star Lake Guards and Emerald Legion behind them naturally faced each other, looking for potential threats and possible opponents.
   The two sides faced each other from a distance, and the differences became more and more clear, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats.
   I saw Jen take a deep breath and look at Thales.
   "You're not going to pretend anymore, are you?"
  Jane’s words contained a long-lost relief:
   "You finally can't help revealing your original intentions and want to kill me?"
   "You're just suspect, Jenn," Thales interrupted him, "for the above charges, you haven't been convicted yet."
   He glanced at Federico who was pinned to the ground by the vigilante.
   "Yes," Zhan sneered again and again, "Not yet."
   Feeling the attitude of the other party, Thales frowned.
   "Why, Thales, why?"
On the side of   , Xi Lai struggled to break free from the butler's hand: "You promised me, you obviously have a better way! Remember, make an impromptu decision!"
   Seeing Hillary, Thales couldn't help feeling sad.
   "You still don't understand, Sheila?"
  Jane snorted coldly.
   "He came to destroy us, but he didn't dare to admit it, and he was too cowardly to do it himself, so he made excuses to deceive himself."
   Thales' breathing stagnated.
   "I don't want to destroy anything, Jen, as long as you—"
   "That's it!" Jen interrupted him loudly, full of sarcasm, "'Nothing wants to be destroyed' - you've been intoxicated in the fantasy of being a good person for too long, Thales!"
   Thales shuddered when he heard the words.
   Xilai's eyes wandered between his brother and Thales, back and forth, with a blank expression.
   "When can you take off your mask and wake up and admit that you're not a saint," Jenn sneered, "but just a mortal who pretends to hate blood, doesn't want to get his hands dirty or face blood?"
  The fantasy of being a good person…
   Don't want to get your hands dirty...
   Listening to the conversation, Thales froze inwardly.
  【You walk to the top of the cliff, but you dream of the sky. 】
   He took a deep breath, trying to get the king's words out of his mind.
   It seems that the sentence is correct - but the voice in his heart whispered - the one who knows you best is your enemy, Thales.
   But the question is…
  You are as fragile and hypocritical as he said...
   Or, can you do more? Dare to do more?
   Thales clenched his fists and subconsciously covered Gortaksa through his pockets.
   You have to do it, Thales.
   You know you have to.
   "You're bound, Jenn, take the initiative to cooperate, I guarantee you will get the treatment you deserve from the Duke," the prince raised his head decisively and said in a loud voice, "No matter before or after."
  Jane's eyes became colder.
  "After that," Xilai's face changed: "After what?"
   "What else," Jen said sarcastically, "after I raised my hand and surrendered, and after he mercifully made the executioner go down."
   Thales frowned slightly.
   "I tried it, Sheila, I really tried it."
   Thales turned to Jenn:
   "But some people, some people just don't learn to take the initiative to step back and leave room."
   Under the lights of the surrounding stands, Thales looked at Jenn, as if to dig something out of the other's eyes:
   "Unless someone forces him." He said coldly.
   With a sword.
   "Looks like we finally have a consensus." Jenn said sarcastically.
  The words have come to this point, and the two paused.
   Sheila understood something, she looked here and there, and was extremely disappointed.
   Butler Ashford sighed, and the Cassian knight beside him scolded an affront and stopped the lost eldest lady back.
  The sudden silence of the prince and the duke made the surrounding crowd riot again, and people were talking about it.
  Wiya stood among the guards, he looked at Thales' back with complicated eyes.
   "Jane Kevin Dier, the choice is yours," Thales said softly, "Whether to back off or resist arrest..."
   "An enemy of the kingdom?"
  Jane's eyes moved, he turned his head, looked at the nervous and anxious soldiers and the crowd, and smiled softly.
   "On the contrary," he said with a cold look, nodding and whispering, "You are fighting the kingdom."
   Thales was startled.
   In the next second, Jen's expression turned solemn, and he said loudly:
   "His Royal Highness Thales!"
   He made his voice heard by all:
   "I know that you are angry with me because I rejected your rude marriage proposal!"
The voice of    fell, and Thales suddenly changed color.
   There was an uproar in the crowd, followed by buzzing discussions, and many people turned their attention to Hillary.
   "Jane, you bastard." Sheila's face was also ashen, she looked at her brother in surprise and muttered to herself.
"However, this place is the Emerald City. The Pearl City, the capital of the South Bank Territory, is one of the most important fiefs of the kingdom. It has always had its own laws. It doesn't need a foreigner to overtake the city, ignoring the traditions of the fief and the laws of the Emerald City." Law enforcement on our soil!"
   Worse.
   Thales frowned:
   "However, as the lord of the city, you are suspected of committing a crime. Can the laws of the Emerald City be public—"
   "So what?" Zhan shouted.
  The Duke of South Bank spoke coldly, attracting everyone's attention:
   "His Royal Highness Thales, you have not been crowned, you have no authority, and you have no decree. It is really not suitable for foreign ministers to overstep the rules and avenge private revenge!"
   He changed the subject:
   "As for the laws of the Emerald City, what's the deal with outsiders?"
  The surrounding crowd, especially the vassals, were getting louder and louder, and Thales felt bad.
   "Indeed, if Your Highness has already convicted me, then you might as well submit to Your Majesty to convene a high-level noble council, and the adults on the Nineteen Stone Throne will decide the merits and demerits of the Duke of South Bank!"
  The discussion in the crowd became more and more messy, and many people pointed at the two dukes, excited and excited.
   "Otherwise, on the land of the Emerald City, the internal affairs of the Iris family's door, even if His Majesty himself wants to interfere, must also weigh one or two, and be cautious again and again!"
   Thales' eyelids jumped.
   "Of course, if you insist on punishing me beyond your authority..."
  Jane stepped forward, raising his hands so everyone could see him
   "Please remember, Your Highness, what you say is the voice of the royal family, and what you do is the action of the royal family, and they will be conveyed to the entire kingdom of the kingdom, far beyond the corner of Yongxing City."
  Jane stopped in front of Thales, and a pair of eyes radiated cold light:
   "Although the Emerald City is remote, it reaches all directions. Although the irises are small, they will not be defeated by the enemy!"
   He flicked his sleeves, solemn and majestic:
   "Although Nanan's daughter is soft and weak, her dignity is supreme, her freedom is priceless, and the weight of the royal family cannot be discounted!"
When the words fell, the vassals first began to applaud and applaud, and many people echoed, and then the anger spread to the audience on the periphery and in the stands. Among them, there were many who were angry and shouted harshly, especially the young Earl of Pintor. For the most part, even the previously low morale of the Emerald Legion was aroused by a desire to protect and temper, and many people beat their weapons to cheer and provoke the star lake guards who were at a loss.
   But at this moment, D.D chuckled in the team:
   "Guys, do you know what's most important in this situation?"
   "Little life?" Nexi answered hesitantly.
   "It's momentum!"
  D.D answered decisively, and the others couldn't help but look at him.
  I saw Doyle take a step forward, hold his head high, and grin at the emerald sergeant opposite him who was provoking him: "Don't show your cowardice, raise your sword, keep your face straight, you can't lose your momentum."
   Morgan scoffed.
   "I said, there are at least a thousand of them, and there are only a few of us," Morgan said with a sneer, looking at the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, "Is there any use for arrogance?"
   "That's why momentum is so useful," D.D exhaled, loosened his sore facial muscles, and continued to put on a fierce expression, "because we only have it left."
   Everyone was startled when they heard the words.
  Paul glanced at D.D in surprise.
   "Indeed," the Xihuang people rubbed their bows, bowed and squatted, posing an exaggerated pose that was frightening but not practical, which made the soldiers confronting them terrified, "Indeed."
   Faced with the turbulent crowd, Thales only felt his shoulders heavy.
   "I remember you said that our business belongs to us, and we will never involve Xi Lai." He whispered to Jenn, his expression gloomy.
  The powerful Duke Iris was stunned.
   He slowly turned his head: Shi Lai ignored the countless pairs of eyes that were thrown at her, just stared at the ground and squeezed his gloves tightly.
  Jane's eyes dimmed.
   "But she's right, Hillary was involved long ago," Jenn took a deep breath, "Thanks to you, and your father."
   "I understand how Xi Lai feels now," Thales said suddenly, his voice indifferent, "Indeed, she deserves a better brother."
  Zhan En suddenly changed color.
   His gaze at Thales became colder.
   "You know shit," Zhan said suddenly, "a wild whose surname was posted later."
   Thales sneered.
   After Jenn finished speaking, his expression became serious again.
   He stepped back and raised the volume:
   "I believe you must be tired, Your Highness, why don't you return to the palace to rest under my escort!"
  Jane smiled and said the next sentence in a low voice:
   "Or are you going your own way, still insisting on arresting me, and wielding a sword against me and the kingdom?"
   Duke sneered:
   "Now, it's your turn to choose, Thales."
   Enemy the kingdom…
   Thales was silent for a long time.
   He failed to force Jen to submit.
  Especially when he doesn't even care about his sister and can use it decisively.
   What is he going to use to force Jen to back off?
   Like Jenn's own life?
   A few seconds later, Thales took a deep breath, stepped back sideways, and held down the warning hilt!
  Zhan's expression changed, he snorted coldly, and also stepped back, holding down a dagger pinned to his waist!
  The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and many people exclaimed in surprise!
   The Seychelles knight roared angrily, the long sword was unsheathed, and the tip of the sword did not dare to point directly at Thales, but pointed at the Star Lake Guard behind him:
   "Who dares to move forward?"
   Following the actions of Seychelles, the sergeants in the first row around them unsheathed their weapons one after another.
  The atmosphere became tense again, and the audience was talking a lot, and it was hard to hide their panic.
In the    Star Lake Guard, facing so many enemies for the first time, Nexi's face paled:
   "I, we didn't move forward?"
   "His Royal Highness is moving forward," Glover, who had only one arm left, held the hilt of the sword and ordered decisively, "Guard, weapon!"
With an order   , several members of the Star Lake Guard also drew their swords in unison (Nexi was a bit slow in fright, but still drew his sword under D.D's reminder), and went head-to-head with the Emerald Legion!
   "Damn, just now I thought I didn't need to fight..." Neshi's sword tip wandered left and right, but there were more than one group of enemies in every direction, "How come it started all of a sudden?"
   "Start?" Miranda stared vigilantly at several officers in the regiment, "No, it never ended."
   "Hahaha, yes," Morgan laughed at this moment. He rubbed the handle of his knife and looked at the group of sturdy sergeants in front of him maliciously, "I really miss this scene..."
   "If that's the case, come on guys, put on your most stinky faces," D.D gritted his teeth, his chest heaved, his expression exaggerated, "Imagine Kingdom Fury standing behind you, fierce and reliable..."
   "Then he must have chopped you off with an axe first, and your ears are clean." Morgan hummed disdainfully.
   "No, it's a real fight? According to what Master Paul just said," Nehi said nervously, "I'll strike down with a sword later. Maybe I'll cut down some big man, ignite the kingdom, and start a war?"
  Everyone's mood sank and their thoughts were messy.
   In the tense atmosphere, the Star Lake Guards were worried because of the disparity between the enemy and the enemy, but in the face of the Prince's Honor, the Emerald Legion on the opposite side was also nervous and hesitant.
   Both sides have their own fears, and the situation is delicate.
   "Can we have a quick fight and only catch the Duke?" D.D tentatively asked.
   "From a thousand cuckolds?" Morgan doubted.
   "And that Seychelles knight, and his scruffy friend," Nehi added uneasily.
  D.D looks ugly.
   "Try to keep your hands," Paul leaned on his back, a little disappointed in his words, "Try not to kill people, especially don't hurt the Duke, otherwise the civil war will be impossible..."
   "If you start fighting with that thought in mind, Master Bozdorf," Miranda's eyes glowed, "trust me, we're sure to die."
  Paul was startled.
   "If, I mean, if a war breaks out, even if only the Emerald City is fought, how many people will die?"
  D.D opened his mouth faintly, making everyone's eyes narrow.
   "You wouldn't know," Morgan said indifferently, with a knife-neck accent, "It's really going to be a fight and we're dead today, and we can't see a war break out."
  Morgan's words made everyone's heart sink.
  Humph, Rolfe is disdainful, a bunch of cowards.
   "You haven't seen Kingdom Fury," Wyah, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "I mean, except for Ms. Allende and the mute?"
  The topic was diverted, and everyone was stunned.
   "Uh, does a portrait count?" Nexi's face turned pale, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
   "I saw him a few times while guarding Ballard's room, to be honest, short..." D.D rolled his eyes.
   "I glanced at it from a distance, very stocky." Glover moved the tip of his sword vigilantly, aiming back and forth at the enemies at his angle.
   "I heard from my father that it's easier to get along with than the Wings of Legends," Paul turned left and right, his bow body moved non-stop, causing many emerald sergeants who stopped in front of the alignment center to back away subconsciously, "Why do you ask that?"
  Wiya smiled.
   "Because of Araka Mu, Kingdom Fury, the most feared Predator in the entire star..."
   He took a deep breath. Facing the hordes of enemies, he no longer trembled nervously, but showed a relieved smile.
   "He will never, never, never stand behind his comrades."
   Everyone was stunned, but Wyah had already strode forward and came to the forefront of the team, facing Jenn's direction.
   "Don't worry, if His Highness has an order, if we really get to that point..."
  Huiya raised his single-edged sword and faced the cascading enemies with a decisive look:
   "The first sword, I'll swing it."
   Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
   Until D.D sighed:
   "Damn, handsome let him finish it all by himself."
   After a few seconds, everyone laughed in unison, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
   Only Rolfe sneered and grinned coldly.
  The first sword, will you swing?
  Fuck, it's like if you swing your sword alone, everyone else will be fine.
  True tm false.
"focus!"
   Glover pressed against Rolfe's back, clenching his teeth to interrupt their communication:
   "The priority will be to protect His Royal Highness later, stand up, and don't show any flaws!"
   But they have long been broken everywhere.
  Rolfe snorted coldly.
   From the moment they came to the Emerald City.
   But at this moment, Thales in front of them released the hilt of his sword and smiled.
   "You're right, Zhan, I can't go overboard and interfere with the law enforcement of the Emerald City!" the prince said loudly.
   This statement surprised many people. The noise of the discussion on the scene was reduced, and even the Star Lake Guards, who were going to try their best to take Zhan, looked at each other in dismay.
  Jane frowned slightly, and seemed to be puzzled by Thales' softness.
   "Very good," but the duke responded very quickly, and his face immediately became bright, "I have already ordered someone to hold a banquet in the palace, since the election will be over, why not..."
   "Arbitration." Thales spread his hands with a smile.
"what?"
   "I said, arbitration!" Thales said loudly.
  Jane's eyes changed.
"As far as I know, someone has accused you, Jenn," Thales turned around and faced everyone. "The noble of the kingdom, the son of the late Viscount Sona Calvindil of Gonghai City, shares the same surname as you. Federico Calvindier, I accuse you of murdering and taking your throne!"
   "He is a disgrace to Kevin Deere's family, he should have changed his surname a long time ago," Jenn looked unhappy, "and the Emerald City has its own laws..."
   "And you denied the accusation!"
   Thales ignored his words:
   "You, the noble of the kingdom, the current guardian duke of the South Bank, the Emerald City Lord, and Jenn Kevin Dill of the Iris family deny the accusation, denounce it as a frame-up, and want to pursue the accusers for the crimes committed in the past."
   Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other, only the shadow in Zhan's eyes was getting thicker and thicker.
"Since the two nobles hold each other's words and cannot quarrel," I saw that Thales was confident, "then I, the second prince and Duke of Xinghu, Thales Jinxing, as a detached and neutral third party, have no choice but to The disputes between the two of you will be subject to the sacred-noble arbitration!"
The voice of    fell, and there was a lot of discussion among the vassals.
   "Arbitration?" Zhan responded, his tone unstable, "Who said that!"
   Thales turned around and pointed to the crowd:
   "He said it!"
   Everyone turned their eyes: Federico fell to the ground, and the guards guarding him looked terrified.
   "If you don't believe me, drag Federico over now and ask him if he has filed a complaint, asking me to mediate for the two of your cousins!" Thales raised his voice.
The    discussion grew louder and louder, and when Federico heard this, he burst into a hearty laugh:
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha-"
   A few seconds later, he was knocked down by a daring security officer, fell to the ground groaning, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
   Thales' eyes tightened and shot at Jenn:
   "Unless, of course, you're not going to let him speak up, you just want him to disappear—in front of me and the entire kingdom."
  The crowd rioted again, and the guards and vigilantes who maintained order had to intensify their reprimand and control.
  Zhan was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke:
   "This is not only a matter of the Emerald City, Your Highness, but also the internal affairs of the Kevin Deere family. It is definitely not an outsider's arbitration..."
   "This is the statute written in the "Sacred Star Covenant": No matter what the guilt is, Federico is a noble of the kingdom, and he has the right to request a higher-level noble to arbitrate."
   Thales opened his arms and articulated clearly:
   "Especially when the other person involved in the case is powerful and powerful, and the complainant is alone and has nowhere to look for justice."
  Jane remained calm, but he couldn't help but glance at Shi Lai, who had a gloomy expression.
   "This has nothing to do with Emerald City, Jenn, nothing to do with Kevin Deere, and nothing to do with my personal grudges with you or Hillary!"
   Thales’s words are non-stop, and the logic is progressive:
"This is from the day of Tormund's founding, witnessed by the setting sun, following the old laws of the Empire, from princes and nobles to squires and knights, all nobles of the Kingdom of Stars - even in some cases, all subjects - born with The divine right is a statute made to protect the weak from being oppressed by the strong."
   He narrowed his eyes:
   "You should know the truth better than I do, Mr. Zhan. After all, you only did a noble arbitration for a baron not long ago to prevent him from oppressing the farmers in the territory."
  Jane's expression changed slightly, he tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and sneered:
   "Arbitration, you? Why?"
   "I am neutral in my status, which shows fairness and high status, not inferior to the Duke."
   "Isn't the Duke? You really will pay for yourself," Jen's eyes became colder. "The Grand Duke of Thales, who is in charge of Star Lake Castle, has one town or two villages in his fief."
   Thales smiled slightly, ignoring the other party's ridicule.
   "However, the person involved, no matter how high or powerful he is, must accept the arbitration of a third party, and must not act favorably or arbitrarily for any reason."
   Thales took a step forward and met Jane's eyes.
"Unless he is no longer bound by the Holy Star Covenant," the prince said in a deep voice, "unless he turns his back on the Goddess of the Sunset, his ancestors as one of the thousands of vassals, the King of Revival, and the Prophet of the Sunset, St. Mohaza , the sacred covenant made before the idol."
   Thales was talking, his eyes moved slowly, he turned to the Duke of South Bank, and his words were sharp:
   "Unless he...is no longer a citizen of the Star Kingdom."
