In the royal garden.
John has no choice but to acknowledge Mattia as his teacher.
Then he saw the Princess Zoe, who was still in her infancy.
Constantine XI officially granted the title of Knight John.
After the ceremony.
Constantine XI send someone to take away the Princess Zoe.
He said to John, "From now on, you should come to the palace every three days. In addition to learning the fighting skills from Mattia, you should also learn some noble knowledge."
John replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Later, I'll have someone announce that you're the Princess Zoe's Guardian Knight. In this way, your family won't be looked at differently because of what happened last night." Constantine XI said.
John said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, you can go back first. I have something to discuss with Mattia." Constantine XI waved his hand and said to John.
John left.
With the company of the eunuch, he took the knight's medal and armor.
Back home.
John knew from the maid, Viscount Ducasse was meeting the guests in the study, so he didn't bother them.
Pollen looked at John, his eyes were full of strange light. "Young master, I just heard from the maid of the mansion next door count that you had become the guardian Knight of Princess?"
John "Huh" said: "The news is still spreading very quickly."
She unbuttoned her shirt intentionally or unintentionally, revealing her white chest.
She deliberately licked her red lips with her tongue and said, "I heard that the Holy Lord had sent someone to tell every aristocrat, and now all the aristocrats in new Rome know about it."
John didn't notice the seduction of Pollen. He was still thinking about what he would learn from Mattia next.
But when he heard what she said, he was very satisfied.
In this way, it was equivalent to telling all the aristocrats that their clan was supported by Constantine XI.
"I see." John nodded, "I'll wait for my father outside the study. I have something to talk with him."
"All right." seeing that the seduction failed, Pollen was a little disappointed.
John ignored the maid.
As he walked towards the study, he opened the supermarket by instinct to see what was valuable.
After all, he still owed the Imperial Guard five hundred Zambats.
But before John went to the jewelry area to have a look, he found something surprising!
The flashlight, which had been waiting for more than ten hours, had been replenished!
"What happened?"
John was full of doubts. Previously, he thought he had understood that the rule of self-replenishment in the supermarket is depending on time.
But now it seemed that it was not the case!
He was about to think it over.
All of a sudden.
An angry voice came from the study, "Sir Lucas, I'm viscount! Viscount from the Empire! Viscount!"
John of course knew that Lucas is the name of the Imperial Guard officer.
He had just learned from the maid that the guest Viscount Ducasse met was Lucas.
But he didn't know why his father seemed to be very angry?
John closed the supermarket and walk quickly towards the study to see what happened.
The next moment, the door of the study opened from inside.
The chief of the imperial guards, Lucas, walked out leisurely and said without looking back. "Viscount Ducasse, please remember that our Imperial Guards are not that easy to mess with!"
Then Lucas walked out along the corridor.
When John met Lucas, he greeted, "Mr. Lucas, what's wrong?"
Lucas stopped and looked at him. He sneered, "Do you really think that you can go back on your words as long as your father becomes viscount? Then you really underestimate me, Lucas!"
John thought his father was going to break his promise.
He was a man of integrity. After all, his family did business in his previous life. If he didn't have integrity, what else could he do?
He hurriedly explained, "Mr. Lucas, don't worry. I will pay you five hundred Zambats."
"Five hundred?" Lucas sneered, "Can you exchange five hundred Zambats for a viscount and the princess's Guardian Knight? Well, I won't say anything more. Think it over with your stubborn father and come to me again. Of course, if you can't figure it out, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing this, John's eyes suddenly turned cold. "What do you mean?"
Lucas said with disdain, "That's what I mean. You'd better have a good talk with your father and listen to me, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"
After threatening, Lucas left without giving John a chance to speak.
Lucas just left.
Viscount Ducasse angrily walked out and shouted at Lucas's back, "Bastard! I won't give you a penny! Let me see what you can do to my Bauhinia Family!"
Bauhinia was the symbol of the Ducasse Family.
Obviously, Viscount Ducasse didn't rush out to say that until he heard Lucas threaten John.
John was also angry, but he was calm and asked, "Father, what happened?"
Viscount Ducasse she said angrily, "That bastard Lucas came to me just now to ask for five hundred Zambats."
John nodded, "Yes, I promised him. Did you refuse?"
"No." Viscount Ducasse said, "Our Bauhinia Family has always been famous for its credibility. Even if your grandfather owed fifty thousand Zambats, I've sold the property and almost paid it back. How can I not give him the five hundred Zambats?"
John asked curiously, "Then what happened?"
Viscount Ducasse was so angry that his hands were trembling. "When he heard that Your Majesty made me Viscount and you became the Guardian Knight of Princess John, he felt that it was a loss to give five hundred Zambats. He regretted and said that he would need two thousand Zambats and a farm outside the city."
What?
Two thousand Zambats?
And a farm?
Why don't you rob it!
After hearing his father's statement, he was also very angry.
Viscount Ducasse then continued, "I discussed with him if I can give him less. He even threatened me not to give him that much. He would use the power of the Imperial Guard to make our family disappear from New Rome!"
John's eyes turned cold, "Did he really say that?"
Viscount Ducasse said angrily, "If he didn't say that, I might have given him two thousand Zambats after discussion. But now, don't even think about a gold coin!"
John thought the same way.
He had money.
The jewelry in the supermarket could definitely get two thousand Zambats in a short time.
If Lucas had a good discussion, he would have indirectly saved John's father and made the John family benefit a lot.
John maybe was really willing to give two thousand Zambats as a debt of gratitude.
But Lucas not only wanted more, but also threatened the safety of his family with John.
John of course not.
He was not a coward!
So what?
If you really piss me off, I will shoot you to death one night!
John thought of it fiercely in his heart, but he said, "Father, I support you to do so."
Unexpectedly, Viscount Ducasse, who had been very angry before, suddenly sighed and said in a soft voice, "You can't do that."
"What do you mean?" John asked in confusion
Viscount Ducasse smiled bitterly and said, "Lucas's identity is a little special. Our family is no match for him at all."
