Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 298: : Old King's Means (7)
Ask the waiter to arrange for the messenger to go to the guest room and prepare a small gift, then Hina returned to the banquet hall.
"Honey, what's the matter?", looking at the chief seat's heavy-faced, pensive Valery, Hina asked softly.
It has been more than ten years since she was married to Valeri, and this is the first time she has seen Valeri like this.
"Hmm", hearing his wife's question, Valery felt a little headache in the main seat.
Simon was arrested, how would he tell Hina about this kind of thing!
If Xi Na knew that her precious son had been arrested, then the Hawke family would be thrown into a commotion!
However, such a big matter must not be kept secret!
"Hmm", after thinking about it again and again, Valery still couldn't hold back a fart, so he could only keep um~hmm~
"Hmm!" Seeing her husband's shyness, Hina narrowed her eyes.
"Did something happen to Simon?", relying on a mother's intuition, Hina guessed it instantly.
"En", Valery nodded bitterly, and then handed the letter to Hina.
Taking the letter with trembling hands, Hina suppressed her panic and read it.
Seeing that Simon was only caught and he was not harmed, Hina breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do next?" After reading the letter written by Grand Duke Gaseppe, Hina looked at her husband and said expectantly.
Although they have the backing of Grand Duke Gaseppe, the strength of the Hood family is not easy to provoke. Their Hawke family alone really can't beat the Hood family.
But even so, Hina still hopes that Valery can rescue Simon as soon as possible. After all, Simon is her heart, and she has never caused Simon to suffer any grievances since she was a child.
"The Grand Duke told us to wait and see what the Hood family has to say." Looking at his wife who was a little flustered, Valery sighed and said.
Why didn't he want to rescue Simon as soon as possible, but the Hawke family is far less powerful than the Hood family, and the Hood family is still far away in the north.
If their Hawke family really got into a fight with the Hood family, they would definitely gain nothing!
The only way now is to wait for a solution from the Hood family. If the Hood family asks them to pay the ransom, then they will pay.
But if the Hood family wants to fight, the Hawke family will not be afraid of them!
After fighting against the barbarians in the Gru Mountains for more than a thousand years in this place where nothing shits, the Hawke family has never really been afraid of anyone!
After waiting anxiously for half a month, the envoys of the Hood family arrived at the Alpine Fort of the Hawke family.
Inside the alpine castle, the guards of the Hawke family stood up with high fighting spirit, and the scars on the leather armor showed the tragic battles they had experienced.
In the banquet hall, the seven knight retainers of the Hawke family sat on their seats in full armor, with dignified expressions and angry faces, wearing full-body plate armor and knight swords at their waists.
On the main seat of the banquet hall, Valery was also wearing a gorgeous full-body plate armor, a lord's cloak on his shoulders, and a lord's sword hanging on his waist, sitting majestically on the upper seat.
The guards led the envoys of the Hood family into the banquet hall, and everyone in the banquet hall stared majestically at these envoys sent by the Hood family.
As soon as they entered the door, the Hawke family gave these envoys a blow.
But the perennial arrogance has long made these envoys of the Hood family defiant. Instead of frightening them, the strength of the Hawke family made them feel a little funny.
Under the absolute strength of the Hood family, does the Hawke family in this barren land really dare to turn against the Hood family?
"You are the Patriarch of the Hawke family." Standing in the middle of the banquet hall, the leading envoy asked Valery with an arrogant expression.
It's ridiculous, your son has been arrested by our Hood family leader, you still dare to put on such a posture now, does your Hawke family not want to live?
"Bastard", seeing the envoy disrespecting the lord so much, the knight retainers of the Hood family all drew out their long swords angrily.
As long as Valery gives an order, they will definitely chop these people into pieces.
Vale's expression was gloomy, and no specific thoughts could be seen on his face. With a light wave of his hand, these retainers sat down again.
Seeing Valéry being so "interested", these envoys of the Hood family were even more proud.
"I am the Patriarch of the Hauke family, what does Marquis Hood say?" Suppressing the anger in his heart, Valery asked in a flat tone.
If Simon was not still in the hands of the Hood family, he would have chopped these idiots into pieces!
No matter how remote and desolate the Hawke family's fiefdom is, he is still the real earl in the kingdom. Who gave these idiots the courage to challenge his face in the Hawke family's territory!
"Hmph, my lord said that if you want our Hood family to release you, your Hawke family must join the noble council and pay a ransom of 10,000 gold coins!"
As if he didn't see ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Valery's increasingly ugly face, the messenger headed by the Hood family still said arrogantly to himself.
In fact, the original purpose of Marquis Hood was to ask the Hawke family to join the noble council, so as to give the lords of the southern border a head start, so it was only symbolic that the Hawke family was asked to pay a ransom of one thousand gold coins.
However, these envoys of the Hood family, and some people behind them, wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Hawke, so they doubled the ransom tenfold.
"Oh, join the noble council! A ransom of 10,000 gold coins!" Hearing these two exorbitant demands, Valéry finally looked at the envoys with something strange.
In the entire kingdom, who doesn't know that the noble council is something made by the lords of the northern border without the king's permission at all.
Because the lords of the northern border have always looked down on the lords of the southern border, these lords of the southern border have always resisted this noble council.
This also caused the aristocratic council formed by the lords of the northern border to be unable to pull the lords of the southern border into their chariots.
Although the strength of the southern lords is far inferior to that of the northern lords, if they cannot win over the southern lords, the noble council will never be able to stand against the royal family.
And now the first request of the Hood family is obviously to open a hole from the Hawke family to loosen the resistance of the southern lords to the noble council.
Not to mention how the Hawke family joins the noble council, what will these lords in the southern border think of the Hawke family!
Just talking about the reaction from the royal family is not something the Hawke family can bear!
And, a ransom of 10,000 gold coins!
Hehe, the financial income of the Hawke family is far inferior to those lords in the north!
