Huh? Are they all real?

What is this? !

After a long while, Morn, who was holding a handful of Gu Yue gold coins, finally smiled bitterly.

Putting the gold coins back into the bag, Morn sat down against the wall.

He also took out the pocket watch.

"Have you known about this for a long time?"

The pocket watch still did not answer Morn, it just quietly turned its hands.

However, Morn, who had been looking at the pocket watch, slowly narrowed his eyes.

The pocket watch seemed to be different from the company.

Because the pocket watch would always take him to where he should go at the moment.

"So, are we friends?"

The pocket watch still did not answer, as if it was just a pocket watch.

Morn shook his head and put the pocket watch back on his chest.

Just keep using it as a heart guard without saying anything.

Since you can't see the whole picture, just focus on what you can see clearly at the moment.

Aurora, that woman, has already reached out to Baratheon.

Blood Moon, Prophet, and now Baratheon again.

What on earth is she going to do? ——

Five days passed quickly.

A new round of crossing began again.

After adjusting his mentality, El looked at Morn beside the bed and recalled the mood when he left, and returned there.

You must remember the mood when you left, which is a compulsory course for every time traveler.

So when El returned to the brightly lit dinner party, her transition was perfect.

Even though this was her first time leaving and coming back in such a lively occasion.

Prince Adela and his pure white knight naturally did not notice any problems.

And Prince Adela's eyes were always on other places.

Although he could not see it, Prince Adela was sure of one thing.

That is, Contas Westeros was also here.

This old ghost said that he had other things to do, but he came here by himself.

They are indeed not trustworthy.

Mother, are you really not going to change your partner?

Prince Adela's heart sank slightly.

At the door of the banquet, Contas, who was illusory, was looking at everything here with curiosity.

Khazad-dum was not the original main city of the South.

This is the huge city built by Trajan himself after he came to power.

So this place is completely unfamiliar to Contas, the first Duke of the Westeros family.

He just knows this place, but it is the first time he has seen it.

And because Trajan also replaced the family emblem of the two-headed flying dragon with irises, he can't even see anything in Khazad-dûm that can evoke his nostalgia.

All of this tells him a crucial reality-the South has completely changed.

So, can he still take back the South?

Even if the opponent is that indecisive little girl?

Contas suddenly felt that he seemed to have misjudged many things.

It was also at this slightly quiet moment that the heavy and thick door that had been closed for a long time was suddenly pushed open without any warning.

A middle-aged man in heavy armor slowly walked out of it.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him almost at the same time, just because he was the only one who did not arrive on time at this banquet.

At this banquet that all the nobles in the South knew was to declare the ownership of the South

This is a big deal.

Moreover, no southern nobles did not know this person. He was one of the five demigods in the southern region. The area he was in charge of was equivalent to the Wind's End Castle in the Grass Fortress.

That was the gateway between the southern region and the empire.

Claude Luther.

The person who guarded the Wind's End Castle under the order of Grand Duke Trajan.

For his late arrival.

Immediately, a southern noble stood up:

"Claude, you are the only one who did not arrive in time tonight because of an accident on the road."

"Hurry up, go to our new master to apologize and ask for her forgiveness. Of course, remember to explain the reason. I think the Grand Duke will definitely understand your misfortune."

As he said that, he also raised his glass and said:

"And you have to hurry up, otherwise the wine we just heated will get cold."

After saying that, he laughed out loud on purpose, and the others naturally understood what he meant and laughed along.

They wanted to minimize the impact of this incident.

In this way, no matter what happened, Claude was only late because of an accident on the road.

This was not disrespect or dissatisfaction, but just a helpless surprise.

But Claude raised his head and stared at El and said:

"My ship is not broken, and I have not encountered any accidents. I just arrived now."

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

The noble who had just tried to smooth things over for him also stood up and said coldly:

"Claude, we are friends, so I advise you to apologize immediately in front of the Grand Duke and under the throne of our old master."

"No."

For this last chance, Claude just said this word to refuse.

With his statement, a large number of knights from the south poured in from outside the door.

The nobles who had just been sitting in their seats with serious expressions also stood up directly.

"Claude, now, immediately, apologize!"

In response to his companions' stop, Claude still looked at El and said:

"I will not apologize, I am right."

The demigod beside El could no longer bear it and scolded:

"Claude, have you forgotten your oath? That year, you swore to your old master that you would always be loyal to Westeros!"

Looking at the throne pointed by the other party, Claude said calmly:

"I am loyal to Lord Trajan Westeros, not her."

"How dare you!"

Hadley, the demigod who took El back to the South that day, drew his sword and jumped over the dining table.

Before the conflict broke out completely.

El said coldly:

"Stop!"

Hadley stopped immediately.

He looked at El, and Prince Adela also looked over with interest.

At the same time, Contas also cast his scrutinizing eyes on El.

Seeing that the eyes of the whole audience were focused on him.

El kept adjusting his breathing in his heart.

When he told Morn that someone did not arrive in time.

Morn told her the current situation.

Just as Morn predicted, the demigod Claude stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction.

But this wasn't real dissatisfaction.

El stood up and walked down the table.

He walked past the demigod Hadley.

"Master."

Seeing that El wanted to step forward, Hadley wanted to stop El from taking such a dangerous action.

That was a demigod, and if he really went berserk in front of El, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't worry, Lord Hadley. This is the South Territory, and I am the master of the South Territory."

At this point, El added another sentence that made people a little confused:

"Mistress."

Hadley wanted to dissuade him:

"That's why, Master, you can't put yourself in danger."

El asked back:

"What do you mean by putting yourself in danger, Lord Hadley?"

"Master?!"

Without waiting for Hadley to continue, El looked directly at Claude and said:

"This is the South Territory, do you admit it, Lord Claude?"

"Of course, this is Khazad-dûm, a fortress built by my real master. It is of course part of the South Territory."

"Then do you admit that you are a vassal of the South Territory, Lord Claude?"

Claude narrowed his eyes and said:

"I will always admit this."

"Then I will not be in danger, Lord Hadley."

After turning back and saying this to the speechless Hadley, El stepped forward directly.

Following her actions, more and more nobles from the southern border left the table and slowly approached with their sword handles.

They were still worried about accidents.

Looking at Ai'er who walked directly to him.

Claude suddenly felt that this little girl, who was a head shorter than him, was far more oppressive than himself.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Am I not afraid?

To be honest, Ai'er thought he would be very scared at first, after all, this was a demigod.

Living demigods, although they called themselves masters, this did not change the fact that they could slap themselves to death at any time.

But the result was that he did not feel the slightest fear, and even after walking up, he did not even have any extra mood swings.

After thinking about it, Ai'er found that he was not afraid.

He just believed in Moen's judgment.

He believed in the other party more than he believed in himself.

Ai'er raised his mouth slightly and looked up at the other party and said:

"Why should I be afraid? Lord Claude?"

"I don't recognize your identity. You just have a noble bloodline. You are not qualified to be my master, the master of the South Territory."

"Claude, I told you to shut up!"

Hearing the fury of the demigods behind him, Ai'er raised his hand to stop them.

"Lord Claude, if you don't recognize my identity, then now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and Claude also looked deeply at the girl in front of him.

Suddenly, Ai'er made a move that was beyond everyone's expectations.

She directly reached out and pulled out Claude's sword.

Looking at the sword blade reflecting his face, Claude asked curiously:

"What do you want to do? Deliberately provoke me and let them kill me?"

El, who was holding the sword with some difficulty, tried to smile easily:

"Of course not, I never thought of hurting you, Lord Claude."

"Then why did you take my sword?"

"Just to prevent you from doing something stupid."

Hearing this, Claude couldn't help laughing:

"Prevent me from doing something stupid? You don't think that if you take away a demigod's sword, this demigod will not be able to kill people, right? My God, that thing is just a symbolic toy for most people here!"

A sudden sentence interrupted Claude the demigod.

"I'm afraid you will do something stupid yourself, Lord Claude."

"What?!"

Claude was stunned for a few seconds, and then he asked this question in confusion.

"Lord Claude, you don't have to worry about anything, and you don't have to do these things to help me consolidate my identity and authority."

"You are my father's vassal, and it is enough for you to stand by my side."

"I don't understand what nonsense you are talking about."

Claude laughed, and then he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Deliberately late, and then angered me in public, let me stand up, and establish authority with the blood of a demigod. Lord Claude, you underestimated me and your loyalty to my father."

"Every one of them is as loyal to my father and to the South as you are."

"But there's no need for that, for I've seen your loyalty."

Claude felt his mouth was a little dry, but he still managed to smile:

"What you said is so stupid, it makes no sense."

"Master Claude, as you said, if you really want to hurt me, how come a demigod hasn't done anything yet?"

Crowder fell silent.

Aier also threw the sword in his hand behind him.

Listening to the thick sound coming from behind, Aier felt a little embarrassed.

She originally wanted to throw the sword to Hadley, but the sword was so heavy that it landed directly on her back.

Damn it, it's just a ceremonial sword used to symbolize status. Do you need to carry such a heavy thing?

Fortunately, no one will find out about this.

After a brief silence, Claude knelt on the ground on one knee:

"Please forgive my stupidity, Master."

"Please stand up, Master Crowder. This is not stupidity. You just did what you thought you should do."

"It's loyalty and devotion, so don't take it personally."

Claude lowered his head deeply, and at the same time he said seriously:

"Master, no matter what, I have violated your authority, and I must be punished. So, please cut off my palms!"

These words made Al's hair stand on end.

‘El, we must stop him from doing stupid things. ’

This is what Moen said to himself again and again before he came back.

Originally, Erdu didn't take it seriously, but they didn't expect it would develop like this.

He looked at Claude kneeling in front of him.

Aier said softly:

"Lord Claude, what do you think he would do if it were my father?"

After a moment of silence, Claude said:

"Your Excellency will forgive my stupidity. This is the reason why we have always followed Your Excellency, but, Master."

"But what? Lord Claude? I am the daughter of Trajan, the mistress of the South. Why can't I do what my father can do?"

The thing that troubles El the most tonight is the statement that she is the daughter of Trajan.

It was nothing at first, but since she realized that she had kicked herself out.

She was very disgusted with the possibility that she and Moen were family members.

She had stood at the finish line a long time ago, but the problem was that she did not run to the finish line, she stood next to the finish line from the beginning.

The starting point of others is her ending point at this moment.

"Please make a place for Mr. Claude and pour a glass of hot wine."

After turning around and saying these words to everyone, Aier bowed slightly to Prince Adela again and said:

"And please forgive my vassal's small indiscretion, Prince Adela."

Adela naturally smiled and said:

"On the contrary, my dear lady, I am honored to see such a scene."

At this moment, the entire banquet once again regained its previous liveliness.

Kontath, who was standing next to the gate, was lost in thought as he watched Claude being taken away with a smile by his companions.

The scene just now was just a helpless and funny episode for Nanjing.

But for the two of them, it was clear that the southern border was no longer the southern border of Westeros.

The southern territory belonged to Trajan and his daughters.

After realizing this, Kontasi unexpectedly laughed.

There will be another chapter in a moment
