lord and his dragon

Marus didn't dare to get too close to Negrim. Although his actions were aggressive, the white glove didn't hit Negrim's chest after being thrown out by him, but fell lightly to the ground.

Marus wasn't in the mood to worry about this anymore, he stared at Negrim's face, hoping to see him pick up the glove in the next moment.

It would be better if the lame leg could make him fall again when he picked up the glove!He cursed secretly in his heart.

The time to bring down the entire Pavoni family has not yet come. At any time before, Negrim would not pay attention to Marus' provocation, but now it is different. What happened to Abel made Negrim full of chests. There was nowhere to vent his anger, and since Marus had already sent him to the door with no eyesight, Negrim would certainly not let him go.

He looked at Marus with a gloomy face, and Nigrim slowly took two steps forward until a trace of fear appeared on the other's face.

"A duel with a cripple? The Pavoni family's tutor is really worrying," Nigrim said slowly, tapping the glove on the ground with his cane: "But I think you are probably better than a cripple." Not going anywhere, right? So I said yes. When, where?"

Although it is a well-known unspoken rule that duels between nobles should be fought by servants, it is still not pleasant to say that a duel is initiated by a person with physical defects. His face turned red, but it didn't matter anymore, he thought excitedly, Xiaoxiu Nuoding agreed!

What can these ignorant civilians understand!As long as his plan can be implemented successfully, how many days will Xiaoxiu Nuoding be proud?When his minions are cut off one by one, little Hugh Nuoding's death will be imminent!

A distorted smile appeared on Marus's face, and he said, "I think you can't wait too long, so how about the round square the day after tomorrow?"

Negrim raised his chin: "As you wish."

Marus left complacently, he was very excited that he successfully challenged Hugh Nordin to a duel, but this was not what the old Duke Pavoni wanted to see.

The news that little Pavoni had launched a duel against Duke Hugh Nuoding spread quickly. Duke Pavoni was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. How many times did he say that now is not the time to provoke Hugh Nuoding!Marus is as stubborn as a donkey and just won't listen!Why on earth is he unwilling to let go of little Hugh Nuoding temporarily!

Marus had at least one thing in mind. Duke Pavoni really didn't understand his pain, so when Marus returned home, he was scolded immediately, but Marus knew that even if he put the resentment in his heart If he said it, Old Pavoni wouldn't understand, and he might scold him anyway, so he didn't say anything at all, just broke the jar and said: "I have already challenged him to a duel, if I'm absent that day, From now on, I will never be able to lift my head up in front of Xiaoxiu Nuoding again!"

The old duke was furious, but Marus was the next duke. If he couldn't hold his head up in front of Hugh Nordin, it would not affect him alone, but the whole Pavoni. The old duke could only pinch his nose Acknowledging this, he said, "I will find some experts for you. Since the duel has already been initiated, don't lose."

Marus knew well that the old duke was able to say this because he didn't know the strength of the men under Hugh Nuoding. If he knew that only the great swordsman Maile could defeat them safely, he would He will definitely not agree. Mailer is a hole card he has carefully hidden. It is absolutely impossible to use it against Xiaoxiu Nuoding, even if he can directly kill Xiaoxiu Nuoding in the end.

But Marus doesn't care so much, as long as he can kill Negrim, he can show any hole cards, so he didn't refute the old duke's arrangement, but just smiled and said: "Since you said so, then I'm sure .”

Most importantly, Myler has agreed to play for him.

Unlike Krevis, Pavoni is one of the most powerful nobles in the capital. Many people may not know Krevis, but there must be no one who does not know Pavoni. Their words and deeds are all The object of attention, not to mention that the other party is Earl Hugh Nordin who has just become famous in the entire capital, so this duel spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital within a day.

Negrim promised that he didn't do anything this time, it was purely because Pavoni's name was so eye-catching that he instantly put the Pavoni family on the high platform.

As for him?With Abel around, Negrim couldn't think of a reason why he would lose.

Marus was preparing for this duel with great interest. He firmly believed that no matter how everyone looked at him now, everyone would look at him with admiration when the head of little Hugh Nuoding fell to the ground.

But the day after the news of the duel spread, Marus received a letter from his fiancée, the eldest lady of the Osedo family, Anna Osedo.

The letter stated that Anna was very disappointed with Marus's recklessness. Not only that, but the Osedo family also hoped that Marus would think more about his own reputation, so that outsiders would not think that they owed Osedo to conduct an operation. Considered marriage.

These words were quite straightforward, almost pointing at Marus's nose and scolding, this time the matter is not handled well, our two families will just dissolve the engagement.

Marus was simply inexplicable, he never thought that the Ocedo family would have such an attitude.

You know, before the downfall of Hugh Nuoding's family, the family that had the most trouble with Hugh Nuoding was Othedo. Speaking of which, the relationship between the two parties can almost be described as deadly enemies.

The reason why Marus got engaged to Osedo's lady was because Osedo was the only one he had seen in the past who could confront Hugh Nuodin head-on, making Lux Hugh Nuodin grit his teeth with hatred, In the eyes of Marus, this family has a kind of authority and nobility that cannot be described in words, so even if the new king ascends the throne later, the power of the Ocedo family declines, Marus also Still as an emerging nobleman, he posted it without hesitation, and really fell in love with Anna Orcedo.

If there is anyone to whom Marus has given all his good temper, it is Anna, the lady of Osedo. Even if the other party has never given him even a good look, Marus has always tirelessly tried his best Going to please her, even if he just made the noble and dignified fiancée smile because he made a fool of himself, he would be very happy. You know, he has never been so obedient in front of his father.

Because of the relationship between Osedo and Hugh Nordin, Marus thought that the Osedo family would be very happy about him provoking Hugh Nordin, and they were the only ones who would support him!Why even his fiancée sent a letter to blame him?

Marus devoted himself to Osedo, and successfully got engaged to Anna Osedo, but he never knew what kind of person he was in Osedo's eyes.

The Ocedo family did have old grievances with the Xiunoting family, but they are old aristocrats that have been passed down for hundreds of years. Their character and dignity prevent them from stepping on the only remaining one after the enemy has fallen. Bloodline, not to mention what life Nigrim lived in Hugh Nordin's house, Oseduo also heard about it, and the young duke who is now in power in Osseduo once laughed at Lux Hugh Nordin, their attitude towards Negrim can't be called friendly, but they can't be considered bad either. They can only be called strangers. When Hugh Nuoding's family became the prey of all the nobles in the royal capital, they were one of the few who didn't ask Hunuuodin. One of the nobles who took possession of the Ding family's property, apart from disdain, there is also a bit of sadness in it.

And the marriage with Pavoni can be said to be a last resort back then.

When the new king took office, he immediately raised his butcher's knife against the veteran nobles. Osedodo was able to draw with Hugh Nuoding's family, and of course it was within the hunting range of little Milwes, who first moved When Marus Pavony showed his favor to Osedo, the old Duke Osedo grabbed him without hesitation. This life-saving straw betrothed Anna Ocedo to Marus Pavoni.

Sure enough, after that, Marus took the matter of Osedo as his own responsibility. Facing the trusted family he had single-handedly promoted, little Milwes also had to sell face, and the Osedo family not only kept Although they lost their titles and kept most of their property, although the lost part of their wealth caused their status in the royal capital to decline, Osedo is a veteran noble after all. They are all confident that they can start the family business again.

This is indeed the case. With the help of the Pavoni family's east wind and their own means, Oseduo quickly regained a foothold in the capital. Although they did not go further, it is already the best result for now. They kept He lost his title and kept his property, but what he lost was only a daughter of the direct line.

This is not a big deal. After all, ladies from noble families are used for marriage. What I want to say is that Anna Ocedo did not marry well. When they are in their position, they will no longer use marriage partners. Wealth is used to measure whether a marriage is good or not. The most important thing is the quality and self-cultivation of the other party.

But obviously, no matter what, Marus can't rely on it.

Anna Osedo hates Marus, very much, hates to think in the middle of the night that the person she is going to marry is a rude, stupid and violent low-level nobleman, and then she will jump into the lake and drown, but she is a direct descendant after all The young lady, who had received a considerable education and was also very intelligent, did not feel that she had only one way to go, and she complained day after day to her brother, the current Duke of Othedo, that Marus How many servants he beat, how many stupid things he did, how many times he shamed the Pavoni family.

As the days went by, the Duke of Osedo, who originally thought Marus was tolerable, began to feel disgusted with him, but because of the status of the other party, Osedo really had no ability to dissolve the engagement, so he could only I can tell my sister to be patient.

But Anna has never given up on the idea of ​​breaking off the engagement with the Pavoni family. She thinks that she just lacks an opportunity, and as long as the opportunity comes, she can really get rid of Marus.

So after learning the news that Marus had launched a duel against Negrim, Anna suppressed her shame and told the Duke of Osedor and other members of the Osedor family about it. Duke Othedo, too, was disgraced by the remark, and was very angry at the matter.

But this incident alone could not cause Osedo and Pavoni to really tear their faces apart, so he only asked his sister to send a letter expressing the attitude of the family, so that Marus would know.

Whether it is Anna or Duke Osedor, the perspective of being a high-ranking person allows them to clearly see the essence of Marus, especially why he is so targeting Negrim.

Marus felt that he could get rid of his past identity and shadow as long as he stepped on Negrim, who finally represented Hugh Nordin's family, but he didn't know that the more hostile he was to Negrim, the more he would be. It is to make Anna and the Duke of Othedo see his inferiority and despicableness, and thus hate him even more.

But in the final analysis, this is all a matter of the past, and the challenge initiated by Marus now really made Osedo feel that this man was hopelessly stupid, and even said that the marriage contract was ill-considered.

Not to mention Othedo's attitude towards the current Hugh Nordin, even if His Majesty the King has shown his dislike for Hugh Nordin, I hope everyone will show hostility to him, and the person who really did something to Hugh Nordin Nor should it be Marus Pavoni.

Pavoni is an important minister of the king, and Othedo also knows something about what happened in the palace. Pavoni should devote himself to helping the king solve the problem now. What is Xiaoxiu Nuoding? I need you The eldest son of the Ni family took action to deal with it. In the hearts of the Pavoni family, what is the importance of the king's matter and Xiaoxiu Nuoding?

Even if the king doesn't really think about it so carefully, he won't be happy with Marus's actions subconsciously. The little Hugh Nuoding is just showing his edge, and what the king wants to see are those insignificant little nobles going up to consume The strength of the opponent, if there is a chance, then catch Xiaoxiu Nuoding's mistakes and deal with him, and Marus's behavior will undoubtedly lower his status by several levels, from a general to a pawn, too impulsive So stupid.

The Duke of Osedo's impression of Marus has dropped to the lowest point. To be honest, if it weren't for the current power of the Pavoni family, he would have directly proposed to dissolve the engagement.

Anna is also a young lady cultivated by the Oser family. If Marus is destined to not be able to carry the great cause of the Pavoni family, of course it cannot be wasted on him.

After Marus received the letter, he didn't think much of it at all. He just resented Oseduo as an in-law but was afraid of others and didn't support him. Second, he was worried that Anna would really hate him.

His affection for Osedo has decreased a bit, but he still cares about Anna's thoughts very much. He tidied himself up, put the matter aside for the time being, and rushed to Osedo to find Anna, wanting to meet her .

Unlike visiting other ordinary nobles, the other party was his fiancée's family. Marus didn't hand in the greeting card in a hurry, but went directly to the door. There was no strict error in this behavior, but But it was quite rude. He didn't realize it, and the Osedo family couldn't speak to him. The servants could only let the lady's future husband in, while hurriedly notifying the Duke and the lady.

But what's the point?The letter was delivered just now. Although it is not polite for someone to come to your door, it is reasonable in sense. Duke Osedo really couldn't think of an excuse not to ask him to see Anna, so he had to ask Anna to be patient and coax him away. up.

It's not that Anna was forced to deal with Marus before, but now the more she looks at Marus, the more she hates her, but she has no choice but to pinch her nose and ignore it. Fortunately, Marus doesn't ask her to force a smile , as long as you don't show your disgust, it's not a big problem to keep a straight face.

When Marus saw Anna, he felt happy and shy at the same time. He took out a gift to please Anna, but Anna grew up in Osset and had never seen anything, so he didn't want to talk to him at all. Marus said something It's not easy to make a joke, so I can only sigh and say softly: "Honey, don't be angry with me, your expression really breaks my heart."

If it were the servants of Marus who were punished innocently, they would definitely suspect that they were crazy when they saw Marus's appearance, but Anna was used to the other's attitude and didn't talk to him at all.

Marus had no choice but to sit down in front of her, and said, "I know you also think I'm reckless because of the rumors outside, but that's not the case at all. I challenged Xiaoxiu Nuoding to a duel, but I actually had other plans."

Anna thought in her heart, I think you are reckless and stupid not because of other people's words, but because of yourself, but what Marus said really made Anna a little curious, what other plans does this idiot have?If it's really too stupid, she can deal with it, so she raised her eyes and said slowly, "Any other plans?"

Marus smiled. Of course, his fiancée couldn't know about the murder of an earl, so he just said: "You don't need to know too much about the future, but I will definitely win this duel, don't worry. , as your fiancé, I will not embarrass you."

Anna was originally in a calm mood, but when he heard the word "fiancé", her face immediately darkened, and she stopped talking. Marus thought she was unhappy because of his secret, and immediately became a little anxious.

In order to please his beloved fiancée, Marus decided to reveal enough exciting news to make Anna change her opinion of him. He thought for a while and said, "You don't know yet? I bought a great swordsman to help me to this duel."

These words really startled Anna, the great swordsmen on this continent can be counted with two hands, and there is only one who has appeared in their Golden Feather Kingdom, and he left long ago and returned to the Blade Empire Go, where did Marus find the great swordsman? !Even with Pavoni's family background as a reliance, it is absolutely impossible!

Anna stared at Marus for a while, then turned her head away, and snorted, "You can tell such a lie."

Marus couldn't see Anna's curiosity, and immediately smiled: "Of course I'm not lying, I really found a great swordsman, if you don't believe me, just attend the duel with me tomorrow, just to see how I do Beat Xiaoxiu Nuoding to the ground, and vent your anger on you Osseduo!"

Anna said indifferently: "Our Osedo family has nothing to vent."

Marus liked her noble and calm appearance very much, and responded repeatedly: "Yes, I have a bad temper and I am impulsive, so do you want to go and have a look tomorrow?"

He couldn't wait to show off in front of his fiancée.

Anna was a little hesitant, she didn't like the scene of fighting and killing blood, but she was really curious about the great swordsman Marus mentioned, such a person appeared in the capital, and appeared in Pavoni It will definitely cause a wave of turmoil in the family, and it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Oseduo.

After much hesitation, Anna reluctantly nodded and said, "Then let me see the great swordsman you invited, I hope you are not lying."

All in all, apart from the fact that Anna had to accompany him when she was ordered by her father at the beginning of the engagement, this was the first time that his fiancée agreed to his invitation. Confidence that he will win this duel, he just thinks that this is a good opportunity for him to change his image in Anna's heart in one fell swoop, as if when tomorrow comes, Anna will fall in love with him to death.

But he was happy, and Marus didn't completely throw away his mind. He smiled shyly and said to Anna: "Honey, the matter of the great swordsman is extraordinary. Before tomorrow, you must do everything." Don't reveal it to your brother."

How could Anna need him to remind her that this kind of thing can be said casually. If Marus is really lying and she tells the Duke of Osedor, doesn't it seem that she is as unreliable as Marus? ?

She agreed casually, and made an appointment with Marus, when he would pick her up tomorrow.

Although she really wanted to go there by herself, but the engagement was here, she still had to give Marus some face outside.

Marus happily returned home, and early the next morning, he ran to Osedo's mansion to pick him up.

How could it be possible for the noble lady to go out so early? Anna complained in her heart that Marus was rude and ignorant, while carefully dressing herself up. It was almost noon before she got into Marus's carriage accompanied by the maid.

The carriage traveled all the way and stopped at the circular square.

The circular square is the place where the most famous nobles in the capital take a walk and play. There is the largest magic fountain in the country. Except for the nobles, only extremely decent businessmen can enter.

There are usually a lot of people here, and after hearing about the duel between Pavoni Jr. and Earl Hugh Nordin, the circular square was already crowded with people.

When Anna saw the crowded scene in the carriage, she regretted it, but Marus was very excited. For him, the more people there were, the more happy Hugh Nordin's defeat was. He said nothing After saying that, she got out of the carriage, and after the driver left, Anna could only cover her face in embarrassment, and followed Marus down.
