Women only affect my ability to spread the fire

This prince has been free-range among the common people for over a decade, so he might be extremely rude and ignorant of court etiquette. He shouldn't be so out of touch, right? No way...

If that's the case, I can only fight hard.

The knight was extremely nervous and worried.

Due to their dire economic situation, these down-and-out knights can only maintain their pitiful and illusory "status".

They consider themselves superior to the common people, so they refuse to work, but also refuse to bow to the common people. They are the most loyal defenders of the hierarchy.

For a down-and-out knight, asking him to bow his head and apologize to the common people would undoubtedly be more painful than killing him.

Fortunately, Mark seemed quite tactful. He nodded and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it. Please close the door when you leave, sir."

Although His Royal Highness the Prince was unable to remember his name, which made the knight slightly disappointed - no, that's not right, I was hunting down His Royal Highness's little lover, it's a good thing that His Royal Highness didn't remember my name!

The knight was relieved that he didn't have to bow to the common people, so he adjusted his mentality quickly.

"Well, then I won't bother you any more, Your Highness, and Mr. Russell."

The knight bowed and retreated, not forgetting to close the door gently when leaving.

Fortunately, fortunately, I finally got away.

The knight felt relieved.

However, just as the door was about to close, a hand blocked it.

That's Friedman's hand.

Then Friedman's voice rang out: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding!"

Friedman, fully armored, swaggered into Mark's room, then saluted Mark and Russell. "Your Highness, Mr. Russell, let me formally introduce myself. I am the Knight of Judgment Friedman. I am hunting down Rhea, the maid who secretly worships the Black Witch! Please—"

"Mark, save me, Mark! He lied, he wronged me!" Before Friedman could finish speaking, Reya started crying to Mark like a little woman.

Mark was still not used to his superior status. He tentatively asked Friedman, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Sometimes, when you take the initiative to make concessions, others don't want to make concessions, but instead want to take further action.

Friedman was secretly amused when he saw Mark's weak tone.

As expected, the peasant suddenly became a prince, weak and vulnerable. If they wanted to attack the royal family, he would be the perfect target.

"Misunderstanding? Since His Highness says it's a misunderstanding, then it might be a misunderstanding. Please let Miss Leia come with us to investigate. The court will definitely conduct a thorough investigation and seriously determine whether it is a misunderstanding!"

Although the tone was a bit polite, the content of the words was not polite at all.

136 Conflict

During this process, Leia seemed very well-behaved and quiet. She acted very frightened and shrank behind Mark. At first, she said nothing and seemed to have no desire to put pressure on Mark at all.

But Mark had lived as a commoner for more than ten years after all, and he was not used to the royal family's behavior and arrogance. Although he felt a little angry in his heart, he still subconsciously felt fear of the existence of the Inquisition.

Leia noticed Mark's stiff body, realized his fear, and immediately changed her strategy.

She sobbed and said, "Wow, Mark, you'd better hand me over to him. Believe me, I didn't do anything. I am innocent. I will definitely come back to see you, Mark, and I will bring our daughter with me."

As she spoke, Leia placed a hand gently on her belly.

It's only been a few days and you're sure you're pregnant?

Oh, no, maybe Her Royal Highness the Black Princess can actually control when she gets pregnant.

This plot was too melodramatic, and Russell was embarrassed and didn't know where to look. So his eyes fell on the glass full of water on the table.

Well, that's a really bad cup of tea.

It has to be said that it doesn’t matter if the tea making skills are crude, as long as they are applicable.

All I can say is that her method is very effective. This low-end tea art is enough to deal with a silly boy like Mark who grew up in the countryside.

Hearing what Leia said, Mark's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was so overjoyed that he subconsciously reached out to touch Leia's belly.

Even the normally confident Friedman was stunned. Putting aside the question of whether the child was illegitimate, if a woman was brought to the Inquisition and released, and she turned out to be pregnant... that would be a difficult situation to handle.

Coupled with Mark's royal background, Friedman began to back down.

But Friedman was full of confidence and spoke too confidently. If no one gave him a way out, it would be difficult for him to come down.

At this time, Mark's eyes became firm, and he took Leia's hand: "Trust me, Leia."

Then, although the new prince felt a little uneasy, the child's joy made him look at Friedman without hesitation.

Then, His Royal Highness blurted out his golden words: "I don't know what the Inquisition is. Don't even think about taking my woman and child away! You villain! Bastard! Who doesn't know what a filthy place the Inquisition is? A healthy woman goes in and comes out pregnant! A pregnant woman goes in and comes out no longer pregnant!"

Even if this is true, you can't tell anyone about it!

Friedman originally wanted to give in, but Mark said such harsh words in anger that he had no room to give in.

If Friedman had not been tough, the facts would have been confirmed and the reputation of the Inquisition would have been greatly damaged - if it still had a reputation.

Friedman felt bitter in his mouth. Although the church was not afraid of breaking off relations with the royal family, the benefits that would come outweigh the losses after the breakup. Otherwise, Friedman would definitely be held responsible.

Friedman then made a final attempt: "I implore you to retract your false views on the Inquisition, Your Highness Mark, and then ask this maid to come with us."

Friedman put emphasis on the word "maid." His intention was to emphasize that as a prince, you don't need to break up with the church for a lowly maid.

However, Friedman's words just touched upon Mark's taboo.

Mark suddenly became a prince, surrounded by people who were arrogant and flattering. This made him particularly concerned about those who treated him well when he was poor and humble - this naturally included Rhea, the maid who took care of him when he was seriously ill and eventually devoted herself to him.

Friedman's emphasis angered Mark: "You bastards from the Inquisition! Instead of judging demons, you oppress the poor! Get out of here now!"

Friedman sighed deeply in his heart. He frowned and pressed the sword at his waist. "Unfortunately, I must leave with this maid who is in collusion with the devil."

As he spoke, Friedman looked at Russell for help.

Where are my teammates, where are my teammates, where are my teammates, please save them.

Coincidentally, a conflict with the knight is imminent. Although Mark is full of blood, he is still a little unsure in his heart, and he also looks to Russell for help.

Russell knew that by now, enough drama had happened and it was time for him to step in and smooth things over.

Obviously, this Black Princess is no good, but the Inquisition doesn't seem to be that strong either.

However, the main conflict at the moment is naturally to deal with the Black Princess first. However, seeing how obsessed Mark is with her and the "child" she calls, if you don't want to hurt this guy's feelings, you have to use some skills.

After making up his mind, Russell cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, both of you calm down."

Friedman immediately grabbed the ladder and began to descend the stage: "Yes, Mr. Russell, please go ahead. I am completely at your command."

He was the son-in-law of the Knights of the Patriotic Knights, so it was perfectly appropriate to use his decision to evade the Church.

Friedman was thankful that he had a way to step down before things got out of hand.

Mark also nodded: "I trust you, Mr. Russell."

In Mark's view, Russell was very kind to him and willing to listen to his ideas when he was just an ordinary cowherd, so he naturally trusted Russell.

"It's an honor, since both of you trust me. Then, Mr. Friedman, please go back first. I will give you an explanation about Miss Rhea." Russell said with a smile.

Friedman saw Russell's words as a way to save his life. It certainly wasn't worth it to completely sever the relationship between the church and the royal family with a naive prince. As for the so-called explanation, he could just forget about it.

Friedman didn't say anything polite and simply nodded: "Yes, Mr. Russell, I look forward to hearing your good news."

He saluted Russell as a knight, nodded stiffly to Mark and Rhea, then turned and left.

Rhea pretended to be innocent and made faces at Knight Friedman, looking very playful.

Why does the old woman act like a virgin?

Thinking of the Black Princess's actual age, Russell almost laughed out loud, but he suppressed the urge to complain.

However, after Friedman left quickly, before Russell could say anything, Reya pretended to be shy and said, "Hey, can you please not tell Dad that I'm pregnant?"

"Ah, yes, yes, this is such good news, I must tell Dad!"

Mark slapped his head and suddenly realized.

Russell smiled without saying a word and watched the performance of the black princess quietly.

137 Admission

Mark turned to Russell excitedly: "Mr. Russell, you just said that you have cleared my father's name. So, can we release him from the dungeon?"

"Mark, aren't you making things difficult for Lord Russell?" Rhea said angrily. "Since Lord Russell has agreed with the knights to conduct a fair trial and has been elected as judge, then let Lord Russell fulfill his duties!"

Obviously, the black princess, who goes by the pseudonym Rhea, has no idea that Russell has found out her background. She is still trying hard to use her acting skills to play the role of a considerate and good girl.

Russell had guessed that whatever the Black Princess's purpose was, it must be related to the upcoming trial. He was waiting to see how the Black Princess would shift the topic to the trial.

However, Russell still showed a grateful smile to the maid Leia, as if to thank her for helping him out.

Seeing Russell's expression, Leia smiled even brighter. She tried to persuade Mark: "Also, shouldn't the scene be as solemn as possible when acquitting Dad?"

She even took advantage of the situation and called old Ernst "Dad".

These words prompted Mark to make up his mind. He looked at Russell with pleading eyes: "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Russell."

"Okay, leave it to me. Please allow me to convene the court. I think as long as the news that you will go to the scene to listen to the trial is released, the knights will definitely show their support." Russell agreed with a smile.

After saying that, Russell opened the door and walked out with a swagger.

Before closing the door, Russell heard Mark muttering, "Oh, I wonder if Dad can accept that I suddenly became a prince out of nowhere..."

Then came Leia's understanding and comforting voice: "Don't worry, Mark, Dad will only be happy for you. You have been father and son for so many years, as long as you talk it out, everything will be fine."

Well, it seems that the Black Princess is full of confidence and thinks that her plan is about to succeed. She should not create unnecessary trouble and do anything bad to Mark at this critical juncture.

After making this judgment, Russell closed the door.

The courtroom was organized very quickly. Russell sat upright in the highest judge's seat in the center, watching the huge venue become bustling with people.

The knights sat down, whispering to each other. In fact, after the rumor that Elda admitted that she was the murderer of her uncle spread, their position was somewhat awkward.

Because most of the knights originally came to sign a marriage contract with Elda Heinrich.

In addition to watching the fun, those who attended such a trial also wanted to see whether Heinrich's estate would be confiscated by the royal family or donated to the church, so that they could work towards that direction.

Friedman showed up with Elda, and although he didn't put her in shackles, it still counted as detention.

Ludwig appeared with a provocative look on his face. However, when he saw Margaret chatting with Rosalyn, his expression twisted for a moment.

Then the knights looked at Ludwig with strange expressions, either sympathy or envy.

This was not because they knew about the princess Eleanor in the painting, but because Mark also brought his female companion - the maid Rhea, who was rumored by the knights to be Ludwig's lover.

Sympathizers felt that the maid Rhea had dumped Ludwig after hooking up with the prince, and that the poor painter was too unlucky.

The envious ones believed that the maid Rhea had been having an affair with the suddenly appearing Prince Mark, and that it was Ludwig who cheated on His Royal Highness the Prince last night.

All in all, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

And when Leia, with a sweet look on her face, held Mark's arm and passed by Elda, who looked dejected, Leia didn't even look at her hostess, as if she didn't know Elda at all.

Elda turned her head and looked at her personal maid who was smiling happily, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

She opened her mouth, but as Leia completely ignored her, she said nothing. Finally, her eyes dimmed again.

Friedman did hear the curse Elda murmured as she lowered her head: "The prince is not allowed to marry outsiders. He is just playing with you, Leia. Sooner or later, you will be abandoned."

That’s right, and Rhea is also an admirer of the Black Princess. After being abandoned by Prince Mark, she will definitely fall into the hands of the Inquisition.

Friedman agreed with Elda's words. He silently watched the smugly smiling Rhea, suppressing his anger.

While shaking Mark's arm, Rhea found a seat in the center of the audience, and then she saw an old knight sitting in the seat.

The old knight was dressed in rags, his hair and beard were gray, and his shaggy beard covered most of his face, making him look sloppy and unkempt.

The old knight was holding a sword in his arms, his eyes were closed, his head was lowered, and he was dozing off.

Leia curled her lips secretly. She gently nudged the old knight, waking him up from his snoring sleep. "Old sir, could you please sit over to the side?"

"Ah, of course, of course." The old knight nodded kindly, as if he didn't care at all about the civilian clothes on Rhea and Mark, and then moved to the empty seat next to him.

After sitting down, the old knight fell asleep again with his sword in his arms, without even saying hello to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Haha, you create this kind of unruly and uninhibited personality to attract the superiors, right?
