Chapter 83, Women's Tears
The unanimous recommendation of the vassals made Mrs. Agnes pale. She looked at the scene in front of her helplessly, knowing that the situation was hopeless. If she persisted, she and her son would probably have a life-threatening disaster.
"I, I understand." Mrs. Agnes had to give in. She agreed to let Rudolph become the Regent, but in fact everyone knew very well that this meant that as long as Earl Schwartz died, Rudolph would become the real Earl Schwartz.
"It's only worth a banquet at this time." Jazz Buckhouse said loudly, completely ignoring the dark-faced Kaitrisy, and his proposal was unanimously agreed by the vassals.
The banquet was held again in the hall. This time the whole hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. The court musicians also sat in the performance room on the second floor to play music. The vassals were drinking and frequently showing their attentiveness to Rudolph. They knew very well that their rewards were now all tied to Rudolph.
"Thank you, sir." Rudolph was indeed a little fluttering. After all, being surrounded by a group of nobles, it is easy to have the illusion of being born noble.
Li Shimin: Young people should not be hot-headed. These people's words should be more vigilant than the sharpest daggers.
Rudolf recovered a little rationality under Li Shimin's reminder. Yes, the reason why these nobles curry favor with themselves was that they only value the authority in their hands, and even the nobles with ulterior motives were planning something in their hearts.
"Sir, I want to pee." Rudolph stood up politely. He left the hall and came to the courtyard, where he found a moment of peace. Unexpectedly, there was such a quiet place in the castle.
At this time, Rudolph saw a strange sculpture, covered with moss and vines. It seemed that it had been a long time since Rudolph uncovered his belt and a pillar of water rushed next to the stone sculpture.
"Uh!" Rudolph took a breath, and he looked around, turned his head and looked at the direction of the hall, where the candles were shining brilliantly, and almost all the stock candles were used.
Rudolph didn't know that at a distance of one hundred meters behind him, the one-eyed wolf Benson was staring at his back. He tiptoed over, and the willow knife in his sleeve slid into his hand. He raised the knife high, and only a few meters later, he was sure to throw the knife to Rudolph's vital point.
"Uh~." But just as he stared at Rudolph's back excitedly, raised his knife and was about to throw it, he felt a heavy hit behind the back of his head, and then his eyes went black.
"Do you think I didn't notice it?" Ma Xiu held a wooden stick in his hand. The front end of the stick was filled with lead, which was the weapon he used when he was a villain. They often found a person with a relatively identity and rich family property, knocked him out with a stick, and then kidnapped him.
As a villain hiding in the dark alley, Ma Xiu is very proficient in lurking and stealing things. Therefore, even though Benson is careful, he has been targeted. But Ma Xiu wants to wait for him to relax his vigilance and take action.
"Swish swish swish swish swish~~." Maxiu lifted Benson's legs and dragged him towards the dungeon, but when he left the corridor, he saw Mrs. Agnes walking towards the courtyard with her skirt.
"This is interesting." Maxiu stopped dragging, and he looked at Mrs. Agnes's back with a thoughtful expression.
"This courtyard should have a good rest." Rudolph looked at the courtyard. It seemed that Earl Schwartz did not care about the courtyard, but a beautiful courtyard could demonstrate the Count's status and authority.
"Rudolph." Suddenly, a woman's voice came. Rudolph turned his head and saw Mrs. Agnes. He was a little surprised that this stepmother who had always disgusted him would come to him.
"Madam." Rudolph nodded slightly at her, and he looked at her with some defense and vigilance.
"Rudolph, I know we have had a relationship that was not very pleasant, but please don't hold a grudge in your heart. This is all the past. For the sake of the Lord, I don't want to be bad to you, but your father has always had his own ideas." Mrs. Agnes looked pitiful, and she said to Rudolph in a weak and helpless voice.
"So, you put all the responsibility on your husband, Lord Earl." Rudolph watched coldly and watched the woman's performance.
"Oh, Rudolph, I'm telling the truth. As a woman of the Hohens Dofang family, I have my own reputation and status, so how could I do such a despicable and dirty thing?" Mrs. Agnes said to Rudolph in tears.
"Your family name and your reputation are not as bad as me. What do you want to do when you find me now?" Rudolph said without hesitation. He remembered the means used by this woman. Even if Earl Schwartz did intend to change his heir, Mrs. Agnes could play a role in fueling the fire.
"Please, let me go and Katrisey, we will leave Schwarz County and go to my cousin's territory to spend our lives quietly." Mrs. Agnes burst into tears, and she said crying in front of Rudolph.
"......" Rudolf frowned. Facing the woman's tears, he didn't know what to do for a moment. He reasonably told him that he had to kill Mrs. Agnes and Katrisy, but would he really want to cut off Mrs. Agnes' throat with the knife?
Ying Zheng: Don’t be deceived, otherwise the sword and halberd will be added to yourself.
Liu Bang: You need to eradicate the roots when cutting the grass!
After listening to the advice of the big guys, Rudolph silently placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and looked at Mrs. Agnes' snow-white neck. She was crying at this moment.
"Master Rudolph, Master Rudolph." At this moment, Baron Hedwig passed through the hall and came to the courtyard. He shouted in panic. When he saw Mrs. Agnes kneeling in front of Rudolph, he was slightly surprised.
"What happened?" Rudolph turned around and looked at Baron Hedwig and asked him.
"Please go to the hall!" Baron Hedwig said to Rudolph.
Mrs. Agnes also quickly stood up, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if nothing had happened.
"Lobby?" Rudolf was a little surprised. Could it be that the vassals attacked each other again?
