Orville asked this, the two of them how dare to say no.
The one sitting on Orville's side is wearing a red-brown round-necked and narrow-sleeved robe, with a leather cape on his shoulders, and metal shoulder emblems inlaid on both shoulders. Looks about twenty years old or so, high nose, bronze skin, handsome, his own sword on the seat beside him.
Chad recognized this person, this was Earl Marshal Regulus, specialized in guarding the security of the Imperial City, holding the city's military power, was the Duke of Orville before the public school classmates and good friends. The one opposite was the Marquis of Clare, this man was pale, thin body, a look wass not yet out of the pain of the loss of a son, but according to Enoch, this man had now gone to the Lancaster territory has 50 kilometers from the Adlerberg, was working together to quell the pirates, Chad didn't expect to see him here.
Orville's words just fell, then heard Regulus immediately interfaced: "Lord Duke said yes, just a private get-together, Chad little brother was also your side people, ll considered close friends"
Here he smiled and said, "What's wrong with getting together in a lively manner, why not?"
The words have been said here, Chad also can not refuse to sit, bowed to the other two lords bowed, and then slowly lifted his robe into the seat.
When Chad also sat down, always bowed his head silent Clare marquis only then opened his mouth, his voice ghostly, the air seems to be cold.
"I think the two lords have not forgotten what promised me, right?"
Orville and Regulus looked at each other and smiled, looking at Duke Clare in unison, "Of course, Regulus' people and I have gone to pick up that old friend, how could we let her leave the Imperial City like that."
Chad suddenly understood who he was talking about, the "old friend" who had left the city today, the "old friend" that these people all knew, could only be the exiled murderer, once the favorite niece of the Wales queen dowager, known as the "deer in the woods", former noble lady - Elaine.
This morning, several of Chad's colleagues took time off for sickness and did not show up for their morning exercises. Actually, they changed their attire and rushed to the royal city, a dozen kilometers away from the territory, to watch the "parade of prisoner" before the person's exile, Chad still heard from the people they came back from, so she knew that the lady's exile day, is today.
And the Duke did not involve himself in this matter before, but oday, he dragged himself into it. Maybe it's related to the last time she was ambushed by the fake old Spencer.
Chad had an ominous feeling, had felt that she had escaped, but suddenly was once again involved in danger, which more terrible.

The day before yesterday, the murder case of the Duke's daughter was suddenly announced to be reopened. The reason was that several eyewitnesses suddenly changed their confessions, therefore, the original charge of murder was changed to manslaughter.
The defendant was spared from hanging, sentenced to 3,000 miles of exile with three years of hard labor, and was not allowed to return to the imperial city for eternity.
Elaine got the news when she was taken out of the cell, and her hot tears flowed down her cheeks as she followed the officers escorting her out of the Vor dungeon.

The Ackerman family has been served at the side of the king since the founding of England. The one in charge of almost all the entertainment industries in and around the Imperial City, paying a huge amount of taxes every year, served the nobility and wealthy merchants of England's royal cities and surrounding territories.
Spencer-Ackerman, the new head of the family, was sent to the Crown Prince as a accompanying student before the last king, Stuart IV, took the throne at the age of 17. He was allowed to return to inherit the family business only after the crown prince was officially crowned, the old Ackerman's entertainment empire and earldom
And in the third year of his succession to the old Ackerman, he also welcomed his daughter, Elaine-Ackerman.
He goes to the major properties inside and outside his territory every day to see how business is going, but he never stays out overnight.
His wife died young and he only has one daughter, Elanie. In order to compensate for his daughter's lack of maternal love in a more secure way, so he did not choose to take another wife, but to spend more time with her so that she would not feel alone.
So even on busy days, he would come home and have dinner with his "princess".
A few weeks ago, the Ackerman family domain.
"Elaine, my baby, can't you let go of that little Clare?"
Spencer asked this day, looking across the dinner table at his daughter, who was constantly conspiring loudly with the servants.
Ever since the old Clare's son from the public school announced his engagement to Selena, the daughter of the Collins family, a wealthy new furniture dealer from Italy, next Tuesday, his little girl has been trying to make some kind of mess to teach that "philanderer" a lesson.
"Daddy!" Elaine looked up sharply from among the servants across the room. Her long, beautiful curly inky blue hair arced beautifully in the air, looked at him with an angry but still animated and lovely little face, " At least to teach him a lesson, so that the two of them can't make the engagement ceremony on time, let them lose face."
The other servants chattered and chattered and chattered and chattered and chattered. In order to keep Elaine from getting lonely, Spencer had chosen them to be around her from their young age, so most of servants had grown up with Elaine, and their relationship were very good.
And he rarely took care of the family's business, most of the decisions on hiring and firing of servants were made by the old housekeeper and Elaine. So he didn't care too much about the few new faces that day.
"Hey," Spencer Sr. helplessly hold his forehead and he thought that he had spoiled his daughter too much, this led to her being very bossy.
He had heard about Elaine and little Clare before. Since Elaine had moved up to 7th grade and was in the same class as CLare Jr, the two youths had had an affair for a while.
But in reality, Clare's father was a playboy when young, all the men in Clare's family have big, deceiving, beautiful eyes that like to make up stories, but it was the girls who prefer this type.
What's tragedy, Elaine has always thought herself, was the best candidate for Clare's fiancée. Because of her looks, intelligence (?) , and her family, her father's title, all good match for Clare's family.
He understands that his daughter is a bit domineering. But she was too soft-hearted to do anything out of the ordinary, and the "lesson" she said must just a child's play.
It was the first time he misjudged his daughter's behavior, and the one he regretted the most.
When he was invited to witness Clare's engagement ceremony, Elaine noticed that she had underestimated her daughter's jealousy.
When the ceremony, which had been decorated like a heavenly place, was turned into a roaring market. Clare's knights flocked away to look for the "missing" Selena. Spencer's heart sank to the bottom of the lake, and hurriedly ordered the knights on duty in his territory to search together.
But when, at nine o'clock in the evening, the knights returned with the fainted Elaine in their arms, Spencer trembled and touched his daughter's bloodless face. The sense of foreboding grew stronger.
And when he was guided by the knights, came to that ham warehouse where the smell of blood was overwhelming.
When he saw the poor girl who had drained of blood, he felt that the sky had fallen. He hates himself for not educating and disciplining his daughter properly.
He was sorry for the innocent Selena, and sorry for his wife in heaven.
As he directed the knights to lift the poor girl from the ground, fast sent to the doctor of his territory.
After several hours of resuscitation and observation, the doctor pronounced Selena dead, and told Spencer the worse news.
Selena had a three-month-old baby in her belly, dead too.
And the next day. The same few new, strange faces that had previously appeared around the dining room table in their own home, together took Elaine's crime to court.
Presenting the judge with the letter that Elaine had asked them to bring to her knight.
The letter orderd her knight to take Selena to the ham warehouse and rape her, teaching this little bitch who seduced her lover a lesson+
The men assured the judge that they were only messengers, did not know the content of the letter at first. But that they had accidentally learned of the lady's evil deeds.
They did not want to be associated with the devil, so they decided to report it.
"I did ask someone to kidnap her, but definitely did not ask for rape!!!" Elaine screamed frantically at those men, "You traitors!!! why do you slander me?"
When the judge asked the court police to present the handwritten letter to her, Elaine was stunned.
The letter was almost identical to the one she had written that day, only the words of rape were added, and the words did surprisingly were her own handwriting.
"This must be someone else's imitation of my handwriting..." She muttered, "This can't be, Honor!"
But the evidence was all there, witnesses and physical evidence, and then even her fingerprints were verified. All the clues pointed to Elaine.
The nobles in the courtroom, who were watching the trial, were talking to each other, watching the trial exchanged glances of contempt and disdain for Elaine.
When the forensic scientist, wearing surgical gloves, presented a small bag of clear liquid, the entire courtroom began to fall into an uproar and the outrage had reached a fever pitch obviously.
"Lord Honor, this is man's semen that was extracted from Selena's body."
Among the panel was Major General Jeff, who had just returned to the Imperial City. He looked at the curly inky blue-haired noble lady in the dock, who was no more than 16 or 17 years old, nnocent and beautiful in appearance, but so dirty in deed, and her ugly look after being exposed and defending herself was so disgusting.
So the heart of these private life of the royal city of these rotten aristocrats of disgust deepened a few points, and he could not wait to go back to the border now and keep company with the snow wolves.
