Chapter 170 Trial

Chapter 170 Trial

Ronin's words were so abrupt that the nobles and knights present were stunned and puzzled.

They didn't understand what this knight's competition had to do with Baron Leisen of the Sean Territory.

Even Bretton, the host of the knight's competition, couldn't help but walk to Ronin's side and gently reminded him, "Brother, Baron Leisen should be fifty years old. According to the rules of the knight's competition, he is not eligible to participate."

At this time, Lei Sen, who was watching the game on the terrace with great interest, also walked to the front. He thought Roning wanted to challenge him in front of so many nobles.

"Luo Ning, I admit that you are very strong, far beyond my expectations. This is a blessing for Wushan Fort."

Lei Sen held onto the railing at the edge of the terrace and said, "But today is a festive day. If you and I fight, someone will get hurt, so please forgive me for not accepting your challenge."

Although he refused with a smile, he despised Roning's behavior.

In Lei Sen's opinion, Roning was seeking personal revenge.

Yes, Shanlin Town and Lord Sen were not on good terms, and Ronin's follower knight had even defeated Lei Sen., But one thing is one thing, and it was too low for Ronin to bring up old scores on occasion like today.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me, Leisen."

Luo Ning said "no" three times in a row. He raised the Liuyan Sword and pointed it at the opponent. As the fighting spirit was infused into it, the Liuyan Sword flashed with a blazing light. Luo Ning's expression also changed from indifferent to very serious and even carried a bit of murderous intent.

"I'm not challenging you; I'm judging you!"

Trial?

After Roning said this word, the nobles present were even more stunned, and many people began to whisper.

The word "judgment" is too rude to use on a noble.

When Roning said this, his relationship with Lei Sen had reached an irreconcilable point.

Many nobles who were not on good terms with Lei Sen watched all this with a mentality of watching the fun. For example, Viscount Marvin, who was not afraid of trouble, said with a chuckle:

"Lei Sen, no matter how Ronin wants to judge you since he has publicly pointed it out, I think you should not stand on the terrace and get off quickly."

There were also some nobles who, based on the principle of "harmony brings wealth" for unknown reasons, began to persuade Roning to temporarily put aside the dispute between Shanlin Town and Sen County and celebrate the festival with peace of mind.

"Interesting, interesting."

Jesus' voice rang out at an inopportune moment. "I didn't expect that to prevent Her Royal Highness the Princess from getting bored, they would arrange such a program in Wushan Castle. It's wonderful and eye-opening!"

"Count Jesus, Wushan Castle has arranged a comfortable bedroom for you. If you are tired, please go down and rest early."

Wiggins, sitting in a wheelchair, had long been unhappy with Jesus.

As His Majesty Bruno's younger brother, he is only the Earl of Moonlight Valley, which shows that Jesus' status in the royal family of Alduin does not weigh at all.

As the second master of Wushan Castle, Wiggins could say some impolite words, and the other party could not do anything to him.

However, Wiggins was also puzzled by Roning's behavior and felt quite unhappy.

Jesus sneered, "I just want to remind you that publicly trying a nobleman is slanderous, and according to the kingdom's laws, it is a serious crime!"

Not to mention the discussions and whispers of these people, Lei Sen, who was brought into the public eye by Roning, began to panic.

Could Luo Ning have evidence against him?

This was impossible, as the other party had never shown signs.

Lei Sen was nervous, but his expression remained calm. "Luo Ning, you want to judge me? On what grounds are you judging me?"

He leaped into the center of the square.

The fighting spirit in his body surged, representing his anger. "You slandered a noble. Even if you are the eldest grandson of the Marquis, I will challenge you to a life-and-death duel!"

A duel to the death was an extreme way for nobles to resolve disputes, but it was a common practice and a symbol of honor and courage.

"I admire your courage, Baron Raison."

Roning smiled and said, "If I lose to the senior knight, I will not challenge anyone else to a duel, at least not for three to five years." Roning's words immediately caused a lot of people to laugh.

"you!"

Lei Sen's face turned red with anger. He roared and took the first step.

However, McKen, who had been standing aside, stood in front of Roning and blocked the opponent's fierce punch.

Lei Sen was shocked to find that the guard beside Roning seemed to be no weaker than Redal.

When did this Shanlin Town and this Luo Ning have so many cutting-edge forces?

"Lei Sen, don't worry."

Luo Ning took two steps back and said loudly: "I believe everyone is very concerned about the assassination of Her Royal Highness the Princess yesterday. I want to point out publicly that the Baron of Swamp Town, Leisen Sean, is behind this incident!"

Suddenly, there was an uproar.

On the terrace, all the nobles were shocked by Roning's words.

Even Jesus, who was teasing and sarcastic just now, now showed a serious expression;

Even Viscount Marvin, who was always looking for trouble, put away his smile;

even the thick-skinned Wiggins was a little anxious, "Ronin, what are you talking about!"

Accusing a noble of assassinating a noble is a big deal, and accusing a noble of assassinating a princess is an even bigger deal among big deals.

"What is Luo Ning going to do?"

Orson's expression was serious and cold. He couldn't help but glance at Lu Lans sitting before him. The other party was still calm at this time.

"Did Lu Lans know about this in advance?"

"He should know!"

Orson thought to himself, "So, he is planning to use Roning to kill Lei Sen? But this assassination of the princess cannot be related to Lei Sen, right?"

Lei Sen was just a baron, and Swamp Town was not rich. He could not hire a gold-level assassin and did not dare to assassinate the princess.

Faced with this accusation, Lei Sen felt relieved.

"absurd!"

He seemed to be so angry that he laughed. "You want to frame me for assassinating other nobles, which is a bit believable, but do I have the ability to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"As everyone knows, my father was assassinated by the killer organization 'Skull and Bones Society' a few months ago."

Roning looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Wiggins.

"In that assassination attempt, my father survived but lost a leg. He will have to spend the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair and will no longer be able to fight in battles."

Wiggins looked unhappy. Why did they have to use him as an example to rub salt into his wounds?

At this time, Roning said loudly: "On the seventh of this month, I, Roning, was also assassinated in the castle of Shanlin Town in my territory!"

This sentence was like a huge rock falling into the lake, causing huge waves.

Lei Sen's expression changed drastically.

He always thought that the Skull and Bones Society had not yet taken action against Roning and even thought at one point that the assassination of Princess Blanche was intended for Roning.

He never expected that the Skull and Bones Society had already taken action, and the location of the action was in Shanlin Town.

Does that mean the assassination failed?
