Enjoying the attention of everyone, Karn Sudo felt a little carried away.
Especially the clear gaze belonging to Miss Vera made Kahn's face turn red with excitement and his whole body trembled.
The heir to the Suduo family suddenly felt that if he asked Miss Vera to dance again at this time, he might not be declined like before.
He felt like a hero now.
However, Colin looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot.
Unexpectedly, it was this guy who came to be the "lead guy".
All the nobles present showed excitement when they saw Knight Kahn stepping forward to question Marquis Charles.
Except for one person.
This person is Kahn's sister, the one Colin called the crazy woman, Cynthia Sudow.
The look in her eyes when she looked at her brother was full of horror!
Why?
Why did this banquet, which was supposed to make the Sudo family famous, turn into what it is now?
If possible, she just wanted to seal her brother's mouth tightly, lock him in the basement, and never let him out.
Cynthia knew very well that maybe Marquis Charles had really caused public outrage, but after all, he was the first heir of the St. Hilde family.
What qualifications does his brother, a mere viscount heir, have to question him?
No, although her brother is stupid, he is definitely not someone with such courage.
Otherwise, when Cynthia led the army to regain Ice Rock City, he would not continue to hide in Falling Eagle City.
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned to look at Count Uman.
It seemed that it was this good uncle who whispered something in his brother's ears just now, and Kahn hurriedly stepped forward.
Cynthia felt a chill in her heart, and she suddenly felt that the future of the Suduo family seemed to be bleak.
"Knight Kahn, you are right!" Marquis Charles did not care at all about the other party's offense.
He took a deep breath and asked sincerely: "So, what kind of punishment do you think can offset my previous mistakes?"
Kahn seemed not to have expected that Marquis Charles would be so "easy to talk to". At this moment, Kahn trembled even more when he saw the dignified Marquis waiting so humbly for his "trial."
But after the excitement, Kahn was also a little confused.
He opened his mouth, but did not dare to say what kind of punishment was suitable for Marquis Charles.
Turning back quietly, Kahn looked at his uncle, Count Uman, with pleading eyes.
But Earl Uman lowered his head at this time, as if he was unaware of the changes in the outside world.
Kahn's heart suddenly sank.
But just when he wanted to retreat, he saw Vera's eyes again.
In Kahn's view, it was a look full of encouragement, appreciation, and even admiration!
As a result, Karn Knight is full of power again!
Even the pimple on the nose was faintly red.
For a moment, he felt so brave!
"Title!" Kahn's sharp voice echoed in the hall, "As punishment, you should voluntarily give up the title of Marquis!"
"Wow——"
Everyone was stunned.
Even Marquis Charles, who has always had outstanding acting skills, didn't know how to react for a moment.
Colin's eyes looked at Kahn, now full of pity.
This is a look that cares for the mentally retarded.
Cynthia's face was full of despair at this time.
She didn't know whether the title of Marquis Charles could be kept, but the Viscount position of the Sudor family seemed to be lost.
The title of Marquis Charles is fictitious and represents his qualification as the first heir to the Duke of Saint Hilde.
It also represents the face of Duke St. Hilde!
Asking Marquis Charles to give up his title is no longer a punishment for Charles, but a slap in the face of Duke St. Hilde!
They are forcing the Lord of the North to admit his mistake!
It's forcing the palace!
The music finally stopped.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was so stagnant that it seemed almost suffocating.
All the eyes of the audience were focused on Marquis Charles and Knight Kahn.
Knight Kahn originally enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, but now, he felt like a thorn in his back.
Cold sweat fell drop by drop.
Kahn once again looked for the eyes of the goddess in his heart - Vera.
But Vera stopped looking at him at this time.
Instead, he looked at his brother, Marquis Charles, with worried eyes.
Kahn's face turned pale instantly, as if he finally realized what a stupid thing he had done.
The face of Marquis Charles on the opposite side was also ugly at this time.
He also didn't know how to deal with it.
He cannot agree to the request of giving up his title, let alone agree to it.
This is no longer a matter of honor and disgrace for him alone.
Instead, it involves his father's face and even the prestige of the St. Hilde family.
When did the majestic Lord of the North have his turn to let a group of lower-class nobles dictate the issue of his successor?
Marquis Charles did not look at Kahn who looked uneasy. This idiot was just a gun being pushed out.
His gaze crossed Kahn and slowly scanned the entire scene.
But I didn't see any friendly or supportive eyes.
At this time, he also gradually realized that this storm might have been premeditated.
Not only targeting himself, but also his father.
Then he can't give in anymore!
If you take one step back, you will be shattered to pieces!
So, Marquis Charles took a few steps forward, crossed Kahn, and faced the nobles at the venue, with a solemn look on his face: "Anyone else who thinks I should give up my title, please stand up!"
He didn't want to deal with the puppet Kahn, but wanted to force out the real behind-the-scenes instigator.
Moreover, he did not believe that the St. Hilde family had ruled the North for thousands of years. Could it be that a disastrous defeat would immediately put them in danger of falling apart?
There was silence.
The Saint Hilde family has accumulated power for thousands of years, which is not something that can be simply talked about in the North.
So the banquet became awkward again.
After a long time, a voice finally broke the situation.
"Haha, I'm sorry, Lord Marquis! Kahn is still young and not sensible. If there is any offense in his words, I hope the Marquis can forgive me."
The one who stood up was Count Uman.
However, he did not continue to target Marquis Charles, but instead excused Kahn.
Also gave Marquis Charles a step down.
Colin suddenly became confused. Could it be that Count Uman was really loyal to Duke St. Hilde and was not involved in this conspiracy against Marquis Charles?
But soon, Earl Uman's next words dispelled Colin's previous thoughts:
"Mr. Marquis Garcia, what kind of punishment do you think is suitable for the mistakes Marquis Charles has committed before?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Garcia seemed to wake up from his previous state of leisurely watching.
In full view of everyone, he stood up slowly, walked slowly to the front of the stage, and stood side by side with Marquis Charles.
Marquis Charles had no choice but to bow slightly, step back half a step, and give up seat C.
Marquis Charles would not give in when facing Knight Kahn, Count Uman, or any of the nobles present.
Except, Marquis Garcia.
Because, the commander of the Black Cavalry Army really has the ability to overturn the table!
Marquis Charles is now not sure whether his uncle wants to overturn the table?
Is all this happening in front of me caused by the northern nobles who are dissatisfied with them, or is it secretly planned by Marquis Garcia?
If it's the former, Charles isn't actually too worried.
if the latter one...
"Charles." Marquis Garcia finally spoke.
"Uncle." Marquis Charles lowered his head slightly, waiting for the trial with anxiety.
"How can you atone for the lives of two hundred thousand northern soldiers?"
Boom!
Marquis Charles was struck by lightning.
The whole person stood stunned on the spot.
What else can he use to atone for his sins?
Marquis Charles raised his head in astonishment and looked at his uncle in shock.
It was like I really got to know him for the first time.
…
Colin watched this scene from a distance, and a word flashed in his mind——
See you in the picture!
