I'm endlessly stacking Q in another world
Chapter 40 I Want a Duel of Honor!!!
Led by the lamp-bearing maid, Izzy arrived before Baron Randall and his son.
Seeing that the father and son were both kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand.
"Get up, all of you. There's no need for such a grand gesture of respect."
"Thank you, young master."
Baron Randall breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Izzy, and slowly stood up.
His son, Sean, also tried to get up, but he was stopped by Sean's shoulder.
Sean knew that if he didn't show remorse and admit his guilt, he wouldn't get away with it.
Therefore, he remained kneeling on the ground and took the initiative to apologize to Ize.
"Young Master Ize, I'm truly sorry to have troubled you with this personal matter."
"I am willing to admit my mistake and accept punishment, and offer the couple sufficient compensation in order to seek your forgiveness."
Izzy ignored him and instead looked at Zain Ridgway and his wife, who were also kneeling on the ground behind them.
"Feline".
"Young Master!"
Feline hurried forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening, Ize's gaze turned slightly cold.
Out of a desire for revenge, Sean Randall not only humiliated Zain's pregnant wife but also treated her as a reward, throwing her to his henchmen to be used as a plaything.
Feline and the guards arrived in time to rescue her.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before both she and her unborn child died, and her husband was also executed.
A family of three that should have been happy and loving has vanished from this world.
And this was all done by the second son of a baron.
Ize gave a wink to the young-looking silver-armored guard beside him.
The guard immediately understood, drew his longsword with a clang, and presented it to him with both hands.
Izzy gripped the hilt of his sword, raised it, and strode toward Sean Randall.
"You?" Sean Randall's expression changed, and he instinctively reached for his waist with his right hand, wanting to draw his sword to fight back.
However, upon entering the Earl's manor, regardless of who you are, you must disarm yourself.
Nobles too.
Unless your title is higher than Earl of Bitville.
So he pulled out an empty tube.
Moreover, his own father, Baron Randall, was still holding his right shoulder, preventing him from standing up.
As a nobleman, Baron Randall knew he would lose a son tonight.
This son was only the second son.
He also has an eldest son.
For the sake of the family's overall position, he could not resist, nor could he even plead for leniency. Any pleading in the face of the evidence would only provoke Ize's disgust.
Even more terrifying is that he himself might not be able to leave the Earl's manor and would have to be carried out.
Given the style of Izzy and Count Damian, since they've killed him, there will no longer be a "Baron Randall" in Tver.
Their titles were originally conferred by the Earl of Tver, so they can naturally be revoked.
The key point is that it's clear that Yize doesn't want to reason with him or show him any human kindness; he just wants to kill.
If Count Damian were present, he could plead for leniency.
Unfortunately, the Earl was not present, which in itself represented an attitude—Ize could do whatever he wanted, and kill whoever he wanted!
Therefore, this "second son" must die tonight.
If he doesn't die, the Randall family will die.
Fortunately, it was only his second son.
"Father?!"
Seeing that he was about to die, Sean Randall struggled to get up and fight back, but he could not break free from his father's large hand that held him down.
He couldn't understand why he was going to die.
He couldn't understand why his father wouldn't say a single word of pleading.
Just because he is the "second son," a son who can be sacrificed?
If he could be sacrificed, that would be one thing, but why hold him down and let him be killed without any resistance?
He doesn't agree!
"I want a duel for honor!!!"
He looked up and roared, glaring at Ize with a ferocious expression.
With his long, brown curly hair, he looked like a raging lion, his eyes filled with indescribable terror.
He never imagined that Ize, whom he remembered as being as delicate as a girl, would actually come to kill him tonight with a long sword.
He never imagined that his own father would not plead for him at all, and would even hold him down by the shoulder, letting him be stabbed to death by Ize.
He walked towards Ize, carrying his longsword, then paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.
A battle for honor?
This is a dueling style popular among noble and knightly circles, which not only determines the winner but also decides life and death.
Although the Kingdom Code stipulates that it only applies to "nobles" and "knights", in reality, the "sons of nobles" are also subject to these rules.
Because most noble sons (specifically males) can obtain the title of "knight" in their lives.
The purpose of honor duels was to allow nobles to resolve private conflicts in a "decent" manner, preventing the conflict from escalating and the situation from deteriorating indefinitely, ultimately involving two or more families.
He was killed in a battle of honor, and that was the end of their personal feud.
Both sides' elders and families should accept this outcome, and should not continue to escalate the conflict and deepen the hatred.
Most personal feuds end after a showdown for honor.
As long as both families remain rational, they will not invest any more emotion or energy in such matters.
The victor is naturally satisfied, having suffered no loss and even killed their enemy.
To avoid greater losses, the losing side has no choice but to accept the defeat, otherwise the reputation of being a "sore loser" would bring even more shame to the family.
If you choose to compete for honor, you should accept the outcome, whether it's good or bad.
Whether the duelists are alive or dead, they are all "honored ones".
Because they risked their lives, their honor remains, and they have not brought shame upon their families.
As for dying in a duel, that's a matter of skill, not attitude.
There will always be winners and losers in any competition, and the loser should not and should not be humiliated.
Some people don't kill their opponents. Showing mercy reduces resentment, and many reconcile or even become brothers, creating a beautiful story.
"I accept your request for an honorable duel."
After a brief moment of consideration, Izzy immediately agreed to Sean Randall's request.
Legally speaking, he did not actually have the authority to directly execute Sean Randall.
He is indeed the heir to the earldom.
But he was not an earl, but merely an heir.
Moreover, even if the count wants to execute someone, he must have a reasonable reason and a sufficiently serious crime; he cannot kill whomever he wants.
Moreover, this is the son of a baron.
Therefore, eliminating Shawn Randall through a "duel of honor" is a fair and square move that won't leave any hidden dangers.
You ask what personal grudge we have?
Sean Randall kidnapped and raped a civilian woman, including a pregnant one, and bribed the warden to execute her husband.
I don't like him and I want to kill him. Is this personal grudge enough?
This kind of personal grudge, which is essentially an act of upholding justice, can better shape his image as the heir and establish his prestige among the people.
Moreover, it can avoid legal pitfalls.
This potential hazard could be minor or major.
The kind of thing that "the heir of an earl or lord kills a nobleman's son" is so serious that it might weigh a thousand pounds after being weighed.
Now, Shawn Randle has volunteered for an honorable duel, handing him a "reasonable and legal" weapon.
They must have thought he was too frail to accept it.
Even if he accepts it, his parents will not be able to accept it, so they will have to step in and stop him.
The whole matter will then be handled by the parents of both parties.
This gives Sean Randall a chance to survive!
I hope the parents won't get involved!
