Chapter 4 The Baron in Distress
Hansel Abbott, a distinguished baron of the Kingdom of Ordo, at least in the eyes of the common people, he is indeed distinguished, but now he is running in a mess with a group of ragged refugees on the muddy country road.
"Damn rebels." He muttered again.
Just a week ago, Grand Duke Giles, known as the "Greedy Wolf", launched a rebellion. The king had been in a coma for many days due to a serious illness. The only one who could suppress the rebellion, the Grand Princess, led her knights to the eastern highlands to drive out the barbarians who invaded the border of the kingdom.
Although the ambition of Grand Duke Greedy Wolf is well known to everyone, the royal family's strategy towards him is still mainly to appease him. No one expected the rebellion to happen so quickly.
What's worse is that Sir Hals, the commander of the Royal Capital Guard, who has always been loyal to the royal family in the eyes of the public, turned out to be a hidden chess piece buried by the Grand Duke in the Royal Capital. He took advantage of the elite royal army going out to directly use the heart-wrenching tactic.
The Abbott family has always given people the impression of being loyal to the royal family. Hansel, who happened to be outside the city, was so scared when he heard the news that he didn't even dare to go home. He fled to the highlands with his personal servants at night.
The order of the entire Jingyao area seemed to collapse overnight. Various bandits seemed to emerge overnight. The city guards also began to search the surrounding areas, burning, killing and looting. They were simply soldiers and bandits.
In addition to the notorious reputation of Grand Duke Giles, a large number of civilians and small and medium-sized nobles loyal to the royal family also began to flee to other places.
Hansel heard some rumors from the refugees intermittently. After the rebels rushed into the palace, they seemed to have not found the king.
The royal party got the news at the last moment before the rebellion. The martial arts students of the Royal Academy were urgently mobilized, and the small number of royal guards protected the king who was still unconscious and some other important members and ran away from the north gate.
Hansel saw a convoy with royal emblems on the road, but he did not follow it like those refugees who were eager to seek asylum.
At this time, they were still swaggering around under the banner of the royal family. He felt something was wrong.
He was now leading his servant Tommen to another road. Of course, there were many refugees on this road.
The carriage had just sank into a muddy mud. Tommen, the servant, whipped the horse's butt but couldn't pull the carriage out. Just as they were complaining about their bad luck, a group of passing robbers robbed the horse and the little money they had left.
All the baron could do now was to curse the rebels who caused all this.
Just as the master and servant were about to take a rest on the side of the road, a noble-style carriage caught up with them. The family emblem on the carriage had been covered.
When they passed by, a face that made Hansel feel a little bit of inexplicable kindness appeared in the window.
"Hey, isn't this Abbott?"
The gloating flash on the other's face made the little kindness just now disappear.
Even so, the team of fully armed knights behind the carriage made him feel much more at ease, and he decided to take the carriage no matter what.
He had no choice but to go: "Old friend Matthew, I was robbed by a group of shameless robbers. For the sake of our many years of brotherhood, can you give me some help?"
Matthew smiled playfully: "What's wrong with this? Can I let my good friend Baron Hansel Abbott be mixed in a group of refugees with stinky mud like he is now? If this gets out, it will be a major blow to the image of our nobles."
He said loudly in a very exaggerated tone, while opening the door, attracting a group of refugees who happened to pass by to stop and watch.
"Thank you, I knew you wouldn't ignore your old friend."
Hansel got on the carriage, vowing in his heart that he would ridicule the other party when he was in trouble.
Matthew Stallman, Hansel's classmate, was also his biggest rival throughout his school days. Every time a debate was held, the two of them would always make passionate speeches against each other, arguing until their faces turned red and the sky turned dark. In private, they would slander each other countless times behind each other's backs, calling each other sinister villains.
Now, he had to escape with the help of his mortal enemy.
"Things are unpredictable!" Hansel sighed, and then was glad that his mother and sister who were away visiting relatives were not in the capital.
"Hansel, don't be sad, tell me what you plan to do."
Hansel straightened his collar and regained some spirit. "At this time of turmoil in the kingdom, it is natural for me to serve the eldest princess. Although my personal talent is low, it is the unshirkable responsibility of my Abbott family to solve problems for the royal family."
"Humph, it's still as high-sounding as always. Anyway, I have this plan anyway. My Stallman family has always been loyal to the royal family."
"I don't know if we went to the barracks. , will Her Royal Highness the Princess take us in? Matthew, where did you come from before you fled? "
"I was checking accounts at the manor outside the city, and received a notice from my father, asking me to rush to the highlands to join the Princess."
"I saw a convoy with royal emblems on the road, why didn't you follow it?"
"Didn't you follow it either? In such a chaotic situation, and still making such a big fuss, do you think I'm a fool? You still look down on people like before."
The two were talking to each other, and suddenly the carriage stopped. The two were nervous, wondering if they would run into rebels and robbers?
Then they heard someone outside the car shouting with a foreign accent: "Excuse me, are you from the Stolman family? Can I get off the car to see you?"
No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!
Matthew and Hansel had to get off the car, and saw an old man standing next to the carriage on the roadside. He bowed slightly and performed a noble salute.
The old man introduced himself: "I am Baron Wakley Ford, the chief seal master of the Earldom of Graman on the northwest coast. I would like to say hello to you two on behalf of my lord."
"Hello, I am Baron Matthew of the Stoutman family, and this is Baron Hansel of the Abbott family. May I ask what I can do for you?"
"I went to the capital to meet His Majesty the King because of the affairs of the territory, but along the way I saw a large number of civilians fleeing north with their families. They all said that there was a rebellion in the capital, so I would like to ask you two about the specific situation."
"Your Excellency has come from afar, and you must not know that it was all caused by Giles, who betrayed His Majesty the King."
"Oh? Is it the Grand Duke known as the 'Greedy Wolf'?"
"Yes, now The capital has been occupied by his accomplices. I advise you not to go. "
"I haven't been to the capital for nearly ten years. I didn't expect to encounter such a big event when I arrived. Giles is really hateful."
"Yes, we are also afraid of falling into the hands of the rebels, so we plan to go to the princess. She is now leading troops to drive out the barbarians in the highlands. With the ability of the princess, she should be able to return to the army to quell the rebellion soon."
"I don't know if your majesty the king..."
"Your majesty should have been rescued. If you are willing, Lord Ford can go with us to find the princess. His majesty was ill not long ago and has handed over all matters to the princess."
"Is that true? Well, I'll trouble you two on the way. "
