Chapter 314

    "I can probably understand the reform you said, and I can probably guess the purpose of your doing so." Eugenie looked at Arthur seriously, and her tone suddenly became more serious. "But have you thought of another way? I don''t believe you don''t know the consequences of doing so. The bachelors must be very worried."


    Is this the hesitation of the little girl''s family, or is it for the sake of stability in the north? Arthur thought.


    "Yes, of course." Arthur didn''t shy away.


    The atmosphere on the table suddenly became silent, and pace chewed the food quietly.


    "My father and grandfather have made efforts, but you should all know the end." Arthur didn''t care about the sudden silence, still smiled and spoke gently.


    "Shangheling doesn''t want to be an enemy of anyone. The reform is for self-help. It''s a last resort. I just want to make my people live better. I can eat and wear warm, have a house, have surplus food and have no fear. Is there anything wrong with this? As for the bachelor, they are great people, just as we have just concluded. They should be respected."


    Arthur''s words made several people slightly moved. Yes, the tustra family tried, but failed. Now it''s just to live. Is there anything wrong with this?


    Pace looked at Arthur with a trace of respect in his eyes. Eugenie bowed her head and ate the steamed bread distractedly.


    She knew that many years ago, Ling Fengbao asked for help from her father, but failed to get a fair ruling. Since then, Ling Fengbao''s situation has become more and more difficult.


    To live? no She thought of Arthur''s sword of oath, and her irritable mood strengthened again. Maybe, she thought, who doesn''t want to live!


    Looking at the pace people staring at him, Arthur smiled and joked, "why, food doesn''t work with your appetite?"


    "No!" pace said with a straight face, "Sir, when I return to the family, I will try my best to stop the Barrett family from waging war! In addition, if there is anything else I can help, please don''t mention it."


    On one side, the little man in knight armor and the axe also nodded silently.


    Before Arthur responded, Eugenie suddenly pushed the plate to pace: "here you are, I can''t eat!"


    Glancing at the plate with only one steamed bread missing, pace said with concern: "don''t you have a bad appetite? You''ll be hungry if you eat so much. You usually eat a lot."


    "Not hungry!"


    Eugenie stared at pace angrily. After that, she grabbed the eggs in the plate angrily, picked up the soup bowl, drank most of it, and finally gave a cold "hum".


    "What''s the matter with you?" pace looked at Eugenie strangely. I don''t know why she was unhappy again.


    Seeing this, Arthur said with a smile: "well, I''ll give a banquet in the castle in the evening and invite you to eat a delicious food you''ve never seen!"


    "My Lord, I''m... I''m really sorry. Eugenie is so rude." pace apologized.


    "Never mind. I think Miss Eugenie is so cute and different from others."


    Hearing the speech, Eugenie gave Arthur a cold "hum", thought about it, reached out her hand and dragged her plate back - she wasn''t full yet.


    It was like a little girl correcting her mistakes after being praised, especially the lovely look of her tight little face, which made everyone laugh. The previous serious atmosphere suddenly became happy again.


    "Shut up, don''t laugh!" Eugenie was ashamed and angry, clenched her fist and hammered on the long table. She cried discontentedly to Arthur, "I''m only three years younger than you. Don''t laugh! I''m not a little girl!"


    The crowd laughed even happier. Eugenie had no choice but to vent her anger on her own food.


    After eating happily for a while, Arthur looked at pace and said, "by the way, I really need to ask you something. I don''t know what to do."


    "Tell me, my Lord," said pace.


    "Well, late last night, milt campes suddenly visited the castle. He admitted that he assassinated Taylor West."


    "Milt! Is that the illegitimate son of count libron?"


    Arthur shook his head and briefly said what he knew about milt''s life experience and experience.


    "I heard about that war. It is said that several northern vassals chose to support him, but finally failed because of the intervention of the Barrett family." pace thought and asked, "Sir, he came to you now and voluntarily admitted that he killed telosi. Should he ask you something?"


    Arthur nodded: "I didn''t expect that telosi was assassinated. I thought it was an emergency. You can''t imagine that the guy asked me to release the canons of the campers family, help him recapture campers and fight the Barrett family together."


    "What is your choice?"


    "He taught a lesson and then locked up. You know, if telosi doesn''t die, the war will end here. But because this bastard, Shanghe collar is likely to fall into war again, I can''t wait to kill him!"


    Arthur paused for a moment, calmed his anger, and then said, "but think about it carefully, that guy''s proposal is a good way. Although my anger is hard to dissipate, Lingfeng castle is now helpless. If I really have an ally, maybe the Barrett family can''t act rashly. It''s just... I''m a little uncertain."


    "Do you want my father to put pressure on the Barrett family?" pace said excitedly. "With my father''s attitude and you and the campers family, marquis Ted Barrett may really sit down and have a good talk..."


    "No." Arthur interrupted him. "Telosi is dead and died in Lingfeng castle. Such a request will only embarrass the Duke. Even for the sake of stability in the north, no one can accuse Ted Barrett of revenge. I just don''t know what to do."


    "Milt is not a good ally. If he can do as he promised, I don''t mind unconditionally releasing those vassals and abandoning the past grievances. But I''m worried that he will turn to the Barrett family after recapturing campesburg."


    "But he killed telosi!" pace said excitedly. "The Barrett family will not let him go, even if he pledges allegiance!"


    "Who can prove?" Arthur frowned. "Even if I publish this news, he can deny it in front of Ted Barrett. He even said that his cooperation with me was only to save the vassal and regain the family title. No one can prove that he killed telosi and was in my castle."


    "This..."


    Pace was speechless and didn''t know what to say. I just feel that there is a huge and suffocating pressure enveloping Lingfeng castle.


    Yes, telosi died in the castle. Milt can turn against him and put all the responsibility on Arthur.


    What no one can prove is only the choice of interests.


    Seeing that the atmosphere was too serious, Arthur stretched his eyebrows, smiled and said: "Well, it''s hard to make a choice? I wonder if I should give the bastard to the Marquis of Barrett and explain it well. As long as I can not fight, I am willing to unconditionally release the Knights of the Barrett family, and even make compensation for the death of telosi. There are enough Wars on the river, and people yearn for peace..."


    At last, Arthur''s tone was helpless and melancholy, which made pace and others across the street uncomfortable. It seemed that he had been beaten hard and had to get up and apologize. What a humiliation.


    "You can''t do that!"


    The first person to speak was not pace, but Eugenie, who had been silent and sat there trying to eliminate the food.


    "Why?" Arthur showed a puzzled expression. "I think it''s a safe and good way. Although it''s humiliating, I can stand it as long as I can avoid the war."


    Seeing Arthur''s seriousness, Eugenie could not help being a little anxious: "it won''t avoid war! Even if you give milt to the Barrett family, they will send troops."


    "I will also compensate them for their losses," Arthur stressed.


    "You''re a fool! What they can get by themselves doesn''t need your compensation! They started the war to rob your iron mine. Why don''t you suddenly understand!"
