Chapter 135 Angry civilians and former nobles kneeling on the ground

Ulysses explained to Felicia: "These will be temporarily taken over by the royal family. What will happen in the future? The royal family has not given an explanation."

In fact, even if the royal family confiscates all of Beard's property, it would be reasonable. After all, Beard became a noble because of the Queen's gift. The heir to the title itself is the Queen, and Fred inherits the territory and control of the territory.

Quan can't find fault at all.

Fred glanced at the blocked road and the dense crowd of people, turned around and faced all the civilians who came to watch the excitement, and said: "Everyone, I am Fred, the crown prince of this country.

In the name of the next king, I come to declare the sins of the former Earl of Bucks and the Beard family."

Fred used wind magic to spread his voice far away, so that he could hear it clearly even from the bell tower.

Beard's residence is in a wealthy area, and many high-level nobles live nearby. Felicia believes that these nobles either have servants or are hiding behind a window to observe the development of the matter and speculate on the royal family.

intention so that you can respond at any time.

Fred's words were resounding: "Beady was obsessed with lust and cooperated with the demons. What he committed was treason. The evidence is conclusive! The royal family will take back his title and territory and hang him tomorrow."

This was the first person to be punished for treason by the royal family since the founding of the country, and also the first prisoner to be hanged.

The first reaction of everyone present was disbelief, and they were stunned and stunned. The whole place was silent, maybe because they were calmed by Fred's words, maybe because they were waiting for Fred's next words.

Under the rule of the aristocracy for hundreds of years, the common people have formed a tacit rule: the aristocrats cannot be wrong. Countless people have created "precedents" to prove this - do not try to challenge or question the authority of the aristocrats.

As for the "mistakes" made by nobles fighting against each other, what does that have to do with the common people?

In the silence of the whole place, someone suddenly burst out with a cheer: "Your Highness is wise!"

This sentence seemed to be a switch, turning on all the emotions of the civilians present.

"The scum who colluded with the demons deserve to die!"

"Kill, kill him!"

"Kill the traitor's children! They don't deserve to live."

Under the excitement of the crowd, Mary felt panic. She turned around and looked to her brother for support, only to find that Gray was even more frightened than she was. He was cowering helplessly, as if he wanted to hide back in the door.

Mary gritted her teeth: This waste.

But she was also afraid of being looked at with hatred by so many people. She felt that these people might pounce on her and tear her to pieces at any time.

She can't stay here anymore, she has to leave.

"Your Highness," she begged humbly, "can you let us go?" She was so scared that she had to find a place to hide without seeing anyone.

Fred looked down at her: "I advise you not to."

Mary was shocked and looked up at Fred with resentful eyes: "Why, you clearly said that you would only punish us by losing our titles."

For Mary to kneel in front of so many people and be pointed at, it was completely a public execution for her, and her arrogant self-esteem had already tortured her to the point of death.

Fred glanced at the crowd: "Did you see it? What do you think would have happened if no one from the Knights stopped it?"

What will happen... Mary is no longer a noble, and the common people will no longer have any fear of her now. The angry common people will swarm her, and they may kill her.

In the face of life, even self-esteem has to give way.

Mary closed her eyes in despair. She didn't know how long she would have to kneel before the crowd dispersed, just as she didn't know what would happen to her in the future.

Fred's goal today was achieved. He helped Safi get on the carriage, and Nancy also turned around and got on the horse to clear the way for the carriage.

After some troubles, Fred and Safi left in a carriage, but the Knights did not completely withdraw. They continued to block the civilians faithfully, while Beard's family members were still kneeling on the ground.

.

The servants of other nobles knew that this was the case. The royal family had shown their intentions and how to deal with it. They had to go back and report it to their masters.

A small number of people have left, but most people have not left yet.

The usual anger towards the nobles seems to be vented unscrupulously at this time. Although they can only curse verbally, this does not prevent the common people from being emotional at this time.

"Who was the first person to speak?"

Although they were far apart, the first person to shout was not far from the bell tower. Although the voice was small, Felissa's wind magic was somewhat successful, so her hearing power had also improved a lot, and she could hear him.

of shouting.

Ulysses smiled: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Forget it, Felicia did not ask for details. Even if the first person to call was not Ulysses or arranged by the royal family, there must be someone else. After all, they needed someone to control the atmosphere of the whole place.

This small trick is irrelevant, Felissa is more concerned about another thing.

"Is it really necessary for humans and demons to live in this life-and-death situation?"

Ulysses and Azarez looked at her at the same time.

The girl's eyes were slightly lowered, with a hint of sadness and sorrow: "Is there really no way to sit down and have a good talk?"

For the first time, Ulysses looked at Felissa with a scrutinizing gaze: "I thought you would be the kind of person who most hopes for the death of the demons."

Azarez's hand suddenly clenched and he forcibly suppressed his surging emotions.

He didn't know what would happen to him if Felicia admitted what Ulysses said, would he be hurt, would his heart be cold, or would he develop darker thoughts.

No one paid attention to the turmoil inside him.

Felicia knew why Ulysses asked that. Although there was a secret behind her father getting the title, on the surface it was always said that he got the title of baron because of his outstanding performance in the fight against the demons.

, their family’s territory is also on the border, and there is constant friction with the border with the demons, so no matter how you look at it, Felissa should be very hateful and hostile to the demons.

The demons and humans have been in a stalemate for many years. Each one is secretly accumulating strength and looking for opportunities to disrupt the stability of the other country.

"I don't think so." Felissa sighed, "My father doesn't think so either."

Do you hate it? Logically speaking, you should hate it, but no matter how much you hate it, life still has to go on. You have to have daily necessities. No matter how much hate you have in this busy and trivial life, it seems to gradually become dull, not to mention her.

Her father led the private soldiers in the territory and did not let any demons set foot on their territory. All actions were limited to a small area on the border, so she occasionally thought that such a stalemate was meaningful.

Well, it is obvious that neither side can really take action anymore. After all, no one is sure that they can completely defeat the other party. Even if they can win, their own side will definitely suffer heavy casualties. It can be said that the current situation is very difficult to get off, and no one is willing to do so.

She tried to make peace first, but no one was willing to take action. Her father was the only one who suffered a lot, as he would be troubled by those little frictions from time to time.
