After Matthew Luke’s voice fell.

Fernandi’s expression suddenly changed, “What’s the truth?! Didn’t Kent Green kill my sister?!” 

Kent Green is Bruno Green’s younger brother.

Matthew Luke, “Of course Kent Green killed your sister.”

“But you don’t know that the marquis you are loyal to is a disgusting villain. He is hypocritical and insidious! He lied to all of you!”

Matthew Luke took a breath, his heart pounding, and after confirming that Daina Prince would not kill him for the time being, he continued, “Do you think Bruno Green is really kind?”

“No, he is not.”

“Your sister was raped by Bruno Green first, and then she was thrown into Kent Green’s place in a coma.”

“Kent Green is a reckless and foolish person, and even more so inhumane.”

“He kept your sister in his room and tortured her for five days. During that time, Bruno Green went there again. Your sister didn’t know that she had been raped by him at first, and she pitifully asked Bruno Green for help…”

“The result can be imagined.”

“Bruno Green pretended to save her and gave her hope, but when she was about to escape from the wolf’s den, he caught her back… In the end, Kent Green played the girl to death…” 

There was no sound around him.

Fernandi’s eyes were bloodshot, his jaw strained, and his hand holding a sword trembled uncontrollably.

Daina Prince couldn’t maintain his facial expression at all, the long sword slowly dropped, the tip of the sword hanging weakly on the ground.

Matthew Luke licked his dry lips, “Bruno Green asked Kent Green to take care of your sister’s body, disguised it as if she was accidentally attacked after going out.”

“But I never thought that Kent Green is such an insecure waste. The corpse has not been handled properly. Not only you quickly discovered the strangeness of the matter, but you can also find him…”

“Unfortunately, you killed Kent Green before he had time to say a few more words.” 

For a while in the silent castle, they could only hear Fernandi’s extremely suppressed and heavy gasps.

Matthew Luke then sprinkled salt again on the bloody wound he had torn open.

“You think Bruno Green didn’t kill you because of his kindness?”

Matthew Luke sneered, “No, on the contrary, he put himself in the position of innocence. He knew that after you killed Kent Green, which is tantamount to betrayal, you would be tortured by guilt, even not wanting to live any longer.”

“Bruno Green wants you to live worse than death, and what’s better than becoming a slave?”

“It’s not the executive’s order that you’re sold to Gadaat, it’s him who ordered it. He wants to make sure that you are bought by the nobles before you are sent back to Gaynor.”

Matthew Luke mocked, “Bruno Green is extremely hypocritical. In front of us, he shows his benevolence and compassion to you. But later, he says that the untouchables are untouchables. You should suffer whatever he wants, even if you lie on the ground like a dog…”

“Bang!”

Fernandi finally couldn’t control his extremely angry mood, roaring and slashing the big sword in his hand against the wall, leaving a deep scratch in an instant, and the hanging paintings and gravel fell to the ground.

Matthew Luke shivered in fear, “I, I said it all, you tell Daina Prince not to kill me.” 

He thought, as long as he does not die, he will be sent to the royal city of Gadaat. He has a way to put out enough chips to return to Gaynor.

Daina Prince took a step back and handed the matter to Fernandi.

He was still in shock and disbelief. He moved his lips a few times without saying anything.

Fernandi’s hand holding the big sword had blue veins bulging, and they could see that he was trying his best to control his emotions.

At this time, footsteps came from the door.

Xia Zuoyi came with Udit.

Fernandi and Walker went first, and he was protected in the rear.

But he had arrived long ago and heard the “truth” from Matthew Luke’s mouth.

Xia Zuoyi said, “If the truth is as you say, why do you know so clearly?”

“Did Kent Green tell you exactly what happened?” 

Fernandi’s eyes suddenly flashed a cold light upon hearing this. 

Daina Prince pointed the sword at him again, “You also participated?!”

Matthew Luke’s face changed.

“No, I…”

The big sword in Fernandi’s hand lay across his neck, and a blood stain was drawn, “Speak!”

Matthew Luke’s face gradually turned pale.

No need to argue, this is the truth of the matter.

Seeing the murderous intent on Fernandi Edwards’ face grow stronger and stronger.

Matthew Luke panicked and yelled, “No! You can’t kill me!”

“I can testify! The assassination of Earl Desinia was actually planned by Bruno Green and Bass Richards! Beavis Elliott and I are their accomplices. Nothing is more convincing than the testimony of an earl!”

Walker William heard this and stopped Fernandi’s sword, “You can’t kill him. Matthew Luke will be brought before the king as a witness to get justice for the earl.” 

Fernandi’s chest couldn’t help heaving.

Just when Daina Prince could not help but say a few words for his friend, he saw him slowly drop his sword and said dumbly, “I will leave his life… for the lord.”

Daina Prince couldn’t help but look surprised, and glanced at Xia Zuoyi without a trace.

Matthew Luke breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Zuoyi said at this moment, “Kill him, Fernandi.”

“One day, I’ll solve Bass Richards myself.”

“Besides, he is a duke and in charge of the financial power of the kingdom. The king wouldn’t do anything to Bass Richards for me. He just needs to find a reason or excuse to exonerate himself and the king is very likely to avoid more severe punishments.”

“The injury hurts the muscles but doesn’t move the bones, there’s little need to leave Matthew Luke alive.”

“Get revenge, for you, and for your sister.”

Matthew Luke’s expression became horrified.

Walker William put down his blocking hand and stood behind Xia Zuoyi to show his attitude.

Xia Zuoyi said, “Let’s go out.” 

After he spoke, he turned and walked out of the castle, leaving space for Fernandi.

Upon seeing this, Daina Prince threw down the sword in his hand, consciously became a prisoner and was taken away by others.

Behind him was Matthew Luke’s terrified cry.

Xia Zuoyi stood in the open space outside the castle and said to Walker, “You used to work in the royal city. What kind of person do you think Bass Richards is?”

Walker, “The city is very deep, and the plot is not small1.”

“Bass Richards is now targeting you, you must be careful, my lord.”

Xia Zuoyi, “He is the Minister of Finance in the royal city, where is his territory?”

“The territory of Bass Richards is Niramo, the most lively city in the kingdom of Gadaat, built near the Volley River and the royal city.”

“Oh.”

Xia Zuoyi turned his head to Daina Prince, who was his hands bound, “Do you know your next destiny?” 

Daina Prince, “Yes, I know very well.”

Although he only obeyed orders, he had already killed an aristocrat. Whether he was executed on the spot or sent to the royal city to be executed, he would accept his fate.

Daina Prince did not complain at all.

“Can I ask you something?” Daina Prince said suddenly.

Xia Zuoyi, “You ask.”

Daina Prince, “Fernandi…did you buy him from the Gaynors?”

“No, I spent a gold coin to buy him from another noble.”

“Why did you… I mean, do you know his identity so…”

“I don’t know. I bought Fernandi because he was about to be killed in the street.”

Xia Zuoyi said, “Do you want to ask if Fernandi is free from slavery?” 

Daina Prince nodded.

Xia Zuoyi, “He’s free.” 

Daina Prince’s expression relaxed, and there was a feeling of “he can die with peace of mind”.

Fernandi Edwards walked out at this moment with a blood-stained sword.

He came in front of Xia Zuoyi, knelt on one knee, put his sword on his side, lowered his head, and said, “My lord, I owe everything to you. From today on, my life will be in your hands.” 

“The God of Creation, you have the right to decide my life and death. If there is any violation, let the devil take my soul, and then sink into the endless abyss.”

Fernandi’s head hung down deeply and his posture humble, “But I want to beg you, please pardon Daina Prince’s life.”

Daina Prince, “Fernandi, you don’t have to be like this. I accept the judgment given to me by fate. This is what I deserve.”

Xia Zuoyi, “If my decision is not the result you hoped for, Fernandi, will you complain?”

Fernandi raised his head, “I swear to the God of Creation!”

“I will unreservedly dedicate my loyalty to you, I respect and agree with any of your decisions, there will be no complaints!”

Fernandi will not cover up the mistakes made by Daina Prince.

But he is his friend after all.

Fernandi can’t watch Daina be accused but do nothing. At least pleading for Daina’s is the only thing he can do now.

Xia Zuoyi looked at Daina Prince, “Are you still loyal to Bruno Green?” 

Daina Prince frowned, “No, never.”

He makes me sick.

“In that case, you can change your personal allegiance, such as to me.”

Daina Prince was startled.

Fernandi couldn’t help showing his joy.

Xia Zuoyi, “But I must deprive you of your knight commander status and start as an ordinary soldier. Do you have any objection?”

“No, of course not, thank you for your kindness!” Daina Prince said.

Xia Zuoyi looked at Fernandi, “I think your revenge is not over, but it is not easy to kill Bruno Green.”

“A marquis is not something you can shake easily. Wait patiently, Fernandi, I promise that one day Bruno Green will die by your sword. Get up.”

He will not let Bass Richards go.

Fernandi’s eyes flickered for a long time, “Yes, my lord.”

The soldiers of Wissas broke through the city gate, and the civilians and slaves of Fort Comoy were panicked.

Then, just one day later, the lord of Fort Comoy died.

The charge of Beavis Elliott’s collusion with the earl of the kingdom of Gaynor spread throughout the city.

In a few days, after the documents passed to the king were approved, they would welcome a new lord, Earl Desinia.

The people of Fort Komoy were delighted after hearing this, and saw no sadness of the death of the original lord.

The captured knights in Mount Pal were also sent to the royal city. On the way, they were killed in the dark, and their bodies were burned clean.

The only one that arrived in the royal city was the paperwork that applied for Fort Comoy to become the new territory of Desinia.

The old king quickly approved it.

On the system interface, the three-dimensional map of Fort Comoy was instantly lit up, and pink petals fell immediately above it.

System 098:【Congratulations on the expansion of the host’s territory again, sprinkling flowers and petals~】
