Chapter 309 Death Knight: Let me say a few words of justice

The nightmarish low laughter echoed in the banquet hall, and the place fell silent.

The Tulip family members on the cruise ship were very familiar with each other. They all knew what kind of face was under the gray robe. They lowered their heads in silence, feeling sad about the future of the family.

They subconsciously glanced at Austin. The Queen had already conquered most of the Tulip Family. Rather than saying that tonight's banquet was aimed at the Tulip Family, it would be more accurate to say that it was a special treat for the Landau Family.

The Landau family is so arrogant that all the Tulip families are reduced to foils. Is this the capital of being the queen's lover? It makes people so envious that their fists are stiff.

The Queen has the Death Knight as an ally, and the Lando family has the high priests of the Church of Nature and the Church of Moonlight. In terms of strength on paper, the Queen has already won.

A one-sided victory is boring. The Tulip family is unwilling to resign after leaving the stage. They are unlucky themselves and want to see more people suffer.

This person is just Austin, there is no twist and it would be boring, but if this person is the queen, it would be really fun.

The diners are kicked off the table and become bystanders who are only responsible for cleaning up the leftovers, or even worse, they are directly put on the menu at the table. What do they desire most?
A: Put the person who kicked you off the table on the menu.

Therefore, although the members of the Tulip Family felt that the possibility was not great, they still had expectations for Auston and wanted to see what cards he had to turn the tide against the odds.

Be braver. The Death Knight is gone, the arms race is escalating, and the two high priests each call out the Nature Knight and the Moonlight Knight. Is there anything wrong with that?

Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, just tell me whether it is possible!
The possibility is low, but it does exist.

It doesn’t matter if you fail, at least you can contribute a joke.

Xifei stared blankly at the Death Knight who entered with the Queen, then looked at the Tulip Family who were gloating over the misfortune around them, and her expressionless husband, and thought about it...

I haven't figured it out.

Why did my son stand on the Queen’s side? What is he trying to do?
Xifei subconsciously opened the team voice chat and asked curiously: "What's going on? Did you two have a fight?"

Auston sighed, not knowing how to respond, and asked Xifei not to speak any more. The situation was chaotic and could not continue to be chaotic.

"What a mess, can't you just make it clear?"

Xifei snorted coldly. She was just curious and asked one more question, but the bastard acted like this, which made her seem like she was being too sentimental.

Yes, yes, they are all knights chosen by God. How can a mere high priest have the qualifications to speak? She has no ability and no brains. She is not qualified to join the high-end team, let alone speak.

At first glance, these words sound very self-aware, but in fact they are all warnings. Auston was speechless and felt that he would be beaten when he returned home tonight.

In the past, when Xifei beat him, she was somewhat cautious, afraid that she would really hurt him, so she showed mercy. To call it domestic violence was more like a consensual flirting.

It’s no use now. I just use as much strength as I can. There’s no fun in flirting at all.

Xifei was fearless and did not panic at all in front of the Death Knight. Not only did he not take the Death Knight seriously, he even dared to threaten the Dark Knight.

Philomena was far from being so calm. She didn't realize that she had been chopped down by the Death Knight several times, and had been defeated repeatedly due to her lack of armor and weapons. Analyzing the current situation, her face looked quite grim.

Tonight's banquet is a setup, targeting the Landau family and the Natural and Moonlight churches.

She took a deep breath, sent a voice request to Xifei within the team, and after adding her as a friend, she asked directly: "The Death Knight is coming, I'm afraid we are no match for him. Where is Wayne? He is a Nature Knight, and only a Knight can fight against a Knight."

"Ah, you don't know?"

"what do you know?"

"..."

That’s right, your biological mother only found out not long ago. You are a lover, or just one of them. Your rarity is not as high as your biological mother + teacher. There is no reason for you to be ranked at the front.

"Mother, please say something!"

"I mean, Wayne's already here, didn't you know?"

"..."

Philomena didn't say anything. She had looked for him before, but didn't find the dead man hiding in disguise. She couldn't say this out loud because if her mother-in-law knew about it, she would misunderstand that the relationship between her and Wayne was not deep enough.

After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "I just saw it."

With Xifei's assurance, Philomena felt much more at ease, and searched with her peripheral vision, trying to find the hidden dead ghost.

Soon, her eyes fell on the woman in black robe. Her intuition told her that this woman was very powerful and was a very difficult enemy.

Xifei's expression remained unchanged as she observed Philomena happily. Because of her intelligence advantage, she enjoyed the happiness brought by the information gap.

I didn't realize before that the high priest of the Moonlight Church only looked smart and capable, but actually he was stupid and not very smart. He didn't even know who his partner was.

After a while of laughing, Xifei couldn't laugh anymore because the boomerang she threw with her own hands hurt herself.

Philomena didn't know that the man beside her was the Death Knight. She was the same, having been humiliated for so many years by the Dark Knight who concealed her identity.

"Asshole, I'll deal with you when I get back!"

"Mother, who are you talking to?"

"Nothing, just remember to go back and deal with Wayne."

Xifei hurriedly came back to make up for it. Perhaps because they were in the same boat, she inexplicably liked Philomena. She used to think that the old woman was sarcastic and a complete bitch, but now she thinks that this girl is well-behaved and sensible, and is barely qualified to be a daughter-in-law.

She accepted this daughter-in-law and criticized her son when she got back, saying that such a good girl should not be allowed to suffer any injustice.

What, the daughter-in-law is several years older than her?

Haha, isn’t there an older one? He’s the one who eats young grass!
The Tulip family observed the changes in the expressions of the three members of the Landau family. Auston had a blank expression throughout the whole process, and he was a very cunning and ruthless character. Sphy and Philomena...

To be honest, I didn't understand it.

Especially Xifei, who seemed to be still laughing.

What's so funny about being on the verge of death? Can you turn the situation around?

If this can be reversed, I will eat the wine glass/fork/plate in my hand on the spot! xN
Queen Sophia was also observing the Landau family. Seeing that Auston had a blank expression on his face, she couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she nodded slightly to Douglas beside her.

Douglas narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward and said, "Welcome everyone to the banquet. Everyone present is a member of the Tulip family, the backbone of the royal family, the pillars of the country, and the most trusted subordinates of the Queen. Please allow me to thank you on behalf of the Windsor royal family for your contributions to the country..."

Douglas talked a lot. As Queen Sophia's mouthpiece, he talked a lot of nonsense.

You are just a baron, why are you putting on airs? Do you have the qualifications?

Just when everyone was confused, Douglas bowed slightly, and when he stood up again, his temperament changed drastically. He had a bit more steady dignity and confidence, and the image between his brows was completely different from before.

"Please introduce yourself, Douglas Arthur George Windsor, husband of the Queen."

"..."xN
There was a brief silence in the field, and then the whole audience burst into an uproar, with everyone shouting in disbelief.

Prince Douglas, who died of illness, is still alive!

People have always been skeptical about the prince's death. His death was too hasty. At first glance, it seems that he is gone, but if you think about it carefully, he might still be alive.

No one can make any conclusion until the lid of Schrödinger's coffin is opened.

Now that Douglas is back, he immediately completes the encirclement of the Tulip Family and re-establishes the prince's majesty at the Queen's instruction.

Austin was slightly surprised, and then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that a baron would affect the Queen's attitude towards him. The estrangement was not a power struggle, but to avoid suspicion.

Auston breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously glanced at Xifei.

You see, the queen has a husband and she is still alive. Don't listen to Wayne's nonsense all day long. Things like the princess having an illegitimate daughter and breaking into the palace at night are all rumors made up by gossipers. If you believe them, you will be fooled.

Heaphy: She was your girlfriend, wasn't she?

Austin did not reply, but raised his glass and toasted the Queen and the Prince and Princess. It was good to be alive, and the blame on him could finally be cleared.

There have always been rumors among the upper class in London that the prince's death was related to him. If he explained, it was considered a cover-up, and if he did not explain, it was considered tacit consent, which really hurt him.

Sophia saw the smile in the corner of Auston's eyes and raised her glass in response. She knew what Auston was happy about. She had heard all the rumors, but she didn't come forward to explain, and Auston was wronged and kept being pointed at.

Raise your glass and everything will be said without words.

Are you two exchanging glances?
I'm not dead yet!
Douglas narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing his displeasure. When he 'died', his wife was flirting with Auston. Now that he is alive, his wife is still flirting with Auston. Didn't he live in vain?
Douglas sneered in his heart, hurry up, every second you take a look the better, you two won’t have many good days left.

Ex-husband, are you still alive?
Wayne was extremely disappointed. He completely confirmed that Auston and the Queen were innocent. They had not broken into Buckingham Palace at night and had not offended the monarch. The rumors were really just rumors.

The queen is not a widow. Without sex, the happiness will be gone in an instant.

Although the queen is not a widow, it does not affect the continued sex. The famous saying of the Free Mage Alliance clearly states that faith makes people firm, religion makes people ignorant, and it is better to have another person's wife.

The fact that the prince is still alive is a plus for the Queen.

However, as a pure love god of war, in Wayne's eyes, this is a minus point for the Queen, and even the rumor-mongering seems boring.

It’s boring, why doesn’t the prince die!

Tsk! !
Amid the harsh sound of dragging a chair, the Death Knight sullenly pulled out a gray chair and sat down on it, retracting his deathly cloak and showing everyone his true face in a skeleton and armor.

He picked up the calcium-supplemented milk on the table, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Wow!

The moment the milk enters your mouth, the dead air evaporates, and the calcium supplement you receive is in vain.

"So Baron Kimo is Prince Douglas. No wonder he speaks so loudly. That's right, besides the Queen, you are the only one present who is qualified."

Wayne shook his head and said, "Those rumors before, such as the head of the Landau family is the queen's lover, they teamed up to kill the prince, and they talked about family and national affairs every night, have been refuted today. Congratulations, Your Excellency, you can wash away these stigmas today."

Which side does the Death Knight stand on? Is he an ally of the Queen? Why is he talking so funny? xN
Everyone was curious but did not dare to show any emotion. They looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, pretending they heard nothing.

Smart people have already started to establish relationships with Douglas, and have sent their sincere blessings one by one. With the prince's return, justice will be achieved, and with the prince's return, Windsor will have peace.

With the assistance of the prince and the collective loyalty of the Tulip family, Windsor will surely win the war, capture the Prussian mustache alive, and bring him to London to show off to the queen.

Hippie smiley face.jpg
Everyone expressed their loyalty, and Auston couldn't help but say a few words. He was a man and knew what Glass was thinking, so he tried to humble himself and ease the relationship between the two.

My Lord Prince, please listen to my words and quit while you are ahead, otherwise the Death Knight will take drastic measures.

Douglas ignored Austin and didn't pay any attention to him. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and began to introduce two important allies of the royal family.

"This is the messenger of the goddess of death in the human world, the creator of the underground tomb, and the knight who walks on the human world on behalf of the gods..."

Douglas came prepared. He listed a lot of titles for Wayne and then said, "The name of the Death Knight is resounding throughout the God's Chosen Continent. I don't need to introduce it in detail. But I still have to say that the Knight is also an ally of the Queen, representing the Death Church and the Windsor Royal Family in an alliance."

Pah pah pah!
The Tulip Family members’ faces turned red and they clapped their hands vigorously, each of them extremely excited. If you didn’t know, you would think this was a fan meeting. They were all the most devout believers of the Goddess of Death.

Everyone was very respectful and madly boasted about the greatness of the Death Knight, which made the Death Knight himself expressionless and indifferent, and he remained unmoved no matter how many nice words were said.

Wayne: It's boring. Not as interesting as the gossip about the Queen and Austin.

In the crowd, Xifei heard everyone's boasting and was very excited, and started clapping.

She liked to hear it and continued to praise her son, saying he was so outstanding.

Philomena rolled her eyes, suspecting that Xifei was an undercover agent of the Church of Death. After all, they were all high priests of the Alliance of Life and each had their own beliefs. They should not sing praises to the Death Knight.

Especially the high priest of the Church of Nature. Nature and death are mortal enemies. Who is he clapping for?
She wouldn't, and the Death Knight would never hear a word of praise from her. Of the four seats at the front of the hall, two belonged to the royal family, the Queen and the Prince, and the Death Knight took up one. So where was the other one?

Everyone turned their eyes to the woman in black robe. Could she also be a knight chosen by God?
Douglas didn't keep everyone waiting for long. He couldn't wait to reveal the answer. After introducing the Death Knight, he turned to introduce the Queen's second heavyweight ally to everyone.

"This elegant lady is from the Dark Church. I cannot mention her name, but her identity is worth mentioning."

"The Dark Goddess's oracle executor in the human world, the Saint of the Dark Church!"

"Your Excellency the Saint represents the Dark Church with full authority and has reached a cooperative relationship with the royal family. This is not limited to cooperation, but a firm alliance. In the future, Lundan will become the number one division of the Dark Church."

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone gritted their teeth in amazement. If the queen hadn't taken action, it would have been fine, but when she did, she had two trump cards that guaranteed victory. Now there was no way for them to turn the situation around.

The Saint of the Dark Church might not be qualified to be on equal footing with the Death Knight, but she represented the Dark Church and even the Dark Goddess, so she was fully qualified.

Seeing everyone amazed and impressed, Douglas curled the corners of his mouth slightly. To be honest, he met Anastasia by accident. It was all luck.

After lying dormant for many years, his luck finally turned.

Auston, when I play these two cards, how do you respond?
Don't surrender, otherwise it will be too boring!

Austin: (_)
Auston was not in the atmosphere, not feeling any pressure at all, and was slightly stunned before reacting.

It turned out to be Anastasia, the Saint of the Dark Church. She had exited her elf form and her figure had changed so much that she was unrecognizable at first.

How should I put it? The Queen's vision in choosing allies is really...really...

It’s hard to describe in one word!

As the Dark God's Chosen One, Austin doesn't have much respect for Anastasia, let alone fear. Even though they are not in the same system and there is no hierarchy between them, when it comes to the critical moment, the Dark Knight's words are more effective than the Dark Saint's.

In addition, the Death Knight beside Anastasia is also a Dark Knight. They... should have already clarified their identities and talked about it, right?
not good!

Auston was shocked. Wayne's meaningful smile appeared in his mind. He couldn't help swallowing.

Wayne knew about the alliance between the Dark Church and the royal family a long time ago, but he kept it a secret and only told him that the Death Knight was the Queen's ally...

This bastard, is he planning to purge the emperor's side tonight?

Xifei blinked her eyes. The Saint of the Dark Church, if she remembered correctly, was named Anastasia. She was the mortal enemy of her teacher Senna, and their relationship was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

When they were still in the Frozen Continent, Xifei asserted that Anastasia would always revolve around her son in the future. The prediction came true. She really caught up with Lundan and they sat together tonight.

Is this really good?

Anastasia is a saint who must remain pure for the Dark Goddess. She can't...

Got it, my daughter-in-law is ready to step down.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how interesting!"

Sphy glanced at Philomena, squinting her eyes with an especially cunning smile, as if she was enjoying the fun.

Philomina was confused and suspected that Xifei was probably crazy. They were all family members and members of the Life Alliance, and they were even closer. The Dark Church had moved into Lundan and was clearly targeting the Life Alliance. Why were they laughing at her? Couldn't they have a sense of crisis?

Wayne, your mother is crazy and I can't serve you as a woman.

Austin's shocked expression was seen by all the Tulip family members. Douglas couldn't help laughing and said to everyone, "The war is about to begin. The royal family has no intention of provoking a dispute over faith. They did this simply because of the external environment. Please don't have any strange misunderstandings, and don't make up rumors to put the royal family in a passive situation."

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

The Tulip family savored these words carefully. They sensed the pressure and nodded in agreement, reaffirming their loyalty and restating their positions, willing to take the lead in rushing to the front for the Queen.

To the ears of Auston and Sphy, the former was panicking and felt that something big was going to happen tonight, while the latter, although he didn't know what was going on, felt it was very interesting and the smile on his face never stopped.

I can't even hold it down!
Philomena was going crazy. She heard a warning in Douglas' words. No, it was an obvious threat. There was the Death Knight in front of her and the Saint of the Dark Church behind her. Not only her and the two high priests, Sphy, but also the Landau family would face a life-and-death crisis tonight.

Bastard, where have you been? Come out now!

Philomena was extremely anxious and expressed her concern to Sphy in the team voice chat. The latter was hesitant and still laughing, not even knowing that he was about to die, which made Philomena say that she could not carry him.

The question is, how did this brain give birth to Wayne?

One pregnancy makes you stupid for thirty years?
The panic on Auston's face was not concealed at all. The more panicked he was, the bigger the smile on Douglas' face became.

The prince said that this was a sure thing. After the queen and two important allies sat down, he stood up straight like a javelin and asked with a smile, "Auston Landau, all the Tulip families have expressed their loyalty to the queen, only you are unclear about your attitude. Now, can the Landau family still bear the glory of the Tulip family? Are you still willing to be the sword in the hands of the queen?"

"Your Highness, the loyalty of the Landau family remains unchanged. We have been loyal to the Queen in the past and will continue to be loyal to her in the future." Austin hastily expressed his attitude while repeatedly glancing at Sophia.

Hurry up, Queen, nod your head!

Sophia was confused. Auston seemed a little strange tonight, but this did not affect her continued trust in Auston. Regardless of the deep relationship between the two as monarch and subject, their past friendship, or their current disproportionate strength and power, she was willing to believe in Auston's loyalty.

Sophia glanced at her husband. Auston had made his position clear, so the banquet could officially begin.

Everything is under control, let's continue playing music and dancing.

Douglas stood in front and deliberately ignored his wife's gaze. Before he could say anything, the two heads of the Tulip family stood up.

Barney Boswell.

Rupert Wilson.

These two people had conflicts with Auston and their relationship was very strained. At Douglas's instruction, they grabbed the task of controlling Auston.

First come, first served, and those who come later have to queue up. If it is so easy for you to surrender, then the other tulip families will have suffered in vain.

You were quite arrogant before, why don’t you continue to be arrogant?

"Auston, you said you would pledge allegiance to the Queen. How are you going to pledge allegiance? Are you going to pledge allegiance in the same arrogant way as before? If so, your loyalty does not seem trustworthy!"

"Mr. Barney, Auston is a man of measure. I believe in his character and credibility. If he dares to say it, he will definitely do it."

"Rupert, Auston hasn't said anything yet!"

"Is that right?"

Rupert seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He laughed at himself and acted as if he was thinking about the Landau family: "Auston, how are you going to pledge your loyalty and how much power will you return to the royal family? You'd better tell us clearly while everyone is here."

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

Auston frowned slightly, and after a brief thought, he said cheerfully: "The interests of the Landau family can be taken back by the queen at will. I personally have no opinion on how to distribute them. My loyalty is absolute!"

In one sentence, he sold out the interests of the entire family, and made Rupert and Barney helpless. They looked down on Auston's cowardice and humility, and had misjudged him when they had regarded him as a great figure.

What level, he is the head of the Tulip family like us.

"What about the senior positions in the Ministry of Magic?" Douglas asked.

"Let the Queen handle it!"

"..."

Douglas was speechless for a moment. This was not the result he wanted. Ignoring Sophia's increasingly cold expression, he lowered his voice and asked, "Where is the property that the Landau family is keeping for the Ministry of Magic?"

"Either is fine." Austin bowed.

"Including your butler?"

"..."

Auston's face changed slightly, he slowly straightened up and looked at Douglas: "Your Highness, the butler of the Landau family only belongs to the Landau family, not the property of the Ministry of Magic."

"Auston, is this how you express your loyalty?"

Douglas smiled faintly. It was this rhythm that finally gave him the upper hand.

"The Landau family is loyal only to the Queen, and the Queen is only on my loyalty list. Your Highness, you are not on this list." Austin played with the ancient silver coin expressionlessly.

"You are right. The Tulip family should only be loyal to the Queen."

Douglas' eyes lit up, and he continued to put pressure on him, "Since you are willing to give up your position as a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, you should also hand over this ancient silver coin that symbolizes your status."

"That makes sense!" First nodded repeatedly.

"My Lord Prince, I can hand it over. Can you take it?"

"Auston, you are so brave!"

The tense atmosphere reached its peak in an instant. All members of the Tulip family stepped back, unwilling to be involved in the dispute. The intense drama made them dry-mouthed, and they couldn't help but take a sip of the wine in their glasses to calm their nerves.

Xifei frowned and looked at Prince Douglas, full of malice, as if... he was fearless?
But is this really a good idea? If the men in her family are unwilling to act, it will be difficult to end it.

Philomena stood silently beside Sphy. The royal family's ruthless suppression of the Landau family could be understood as their attitude towards the Life Alliance and the Moonlight Church.

During the honeymoon period, she called everyone sweet, but when she found the Church of Death and Darkness and formed the Black Death Alliance, she immediately turned against her and became a shrew.

Damn politics.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

At the critical moment, Queen Sophia could no longer tolerate it and spoke out in person. She did not want to take back the power in Douglas's hands. Her husband worked hard for the royal family and had no credit for it, but he had worked hard. She should at least give him some face.

But Douglas was too prejudiced against Austin, and his words were full of personal grudges. As a qualified politician, he was undoubtedly too naive.

Sophia glanced at Auston and said slowly: "I believe in the loyalty of the Landau family, and I also recognize your emphasis on your family. However, your words are a bit harsh. The prince will rule Windsor with me in the future, and he should be on your loyalty list."

Each side was given fifty lashes of the board, and then a large pie was drawn for each side, which was impartial and very balanced.

Austin's complexion improved slightly. He bowed to Sophia and took the ladder.

Douglas didn't. He had a sinister look on his face and could faintly hear the laughter of the Tulip family members in his ears.

"The Queen chose Austin at the last minute..."

"The prince is just a substitute. There is no love in a political marriage. Austin is the queen's true love!"

"The so-called prince is nothing more than a minister with a special status. The queen is the queen, and the minister is the minister. He is a little confused..."

"After tonight, do you have to call me Prince Austin?"

"Isn't it always like this?"

"You may have noticed that I always felt that the prince and princess had some similarities with Auston in their facial features."

“Hahaha———”
Douglas's face turned alternately blue and white after hearing the series of whispers. Just when he couldn't bear it any longer, the Death Knight slammed the table hard, and the bang scared everyone.

"As the Queen's ally, I don't have a say, but now that things have come to this, instead of continuing to argue, it's better to..."

"Let me say a few fair words!"
