“Are you asking because you don't know? Are the brothers still pointing swords at each other? That's how you sequence and pick a woman in order to have a relationship? What if the pig was born without knowing who his father was and then slaughtered and died? ”

Karpen grows increasingly aggravated by his inappropriate words. Albrecht listens to Carfen and guesses the truth of the Banhenheim family.

Champions were those who fought as opposed to the Duel. Seeing that a family that specializes in getting paid for it, it seemed to maintain its lineage and preserve its skills in their own unique way.

It seemed that only ten or five of those dozen children out there were in sequence, giving them the right to preserve their bloodline. If you say it badly, it gives you the right to reproduce.

And the next generation of children broke the order in endless competition again. Albrecht thought it was disgusting, but he didn't want to interfere.

I just thought it was their way of surviving in this barren environment, in this age, in the world.

In the world, there are some things that we need to respect, even if we can understand them, but we cannot respect them.

In the case of the Banhenheim family, it was the former. After all, it was not a world with laws and rules, and only the customs and religious doctrines that existed in each region and culture had a little function.

There is no foundation to enter, and surviving is the most important problem in the world, which is their own way of surviving.

But because Carpen was a party, or part of a family, he could not take a step back from the position of a third party, such as Albrecht.

Even in Hilnan, there were dozens of family articles who did not change their faces. It was just that only the red dot, Herisa, seemed to shake her eyes a little.

“I don't understand what your uncle said. Isn't it our family that gives everyone a fair chance without distinguishing between a deficit and a bastard? Anyone can be ranked if they have skills. And then, of course, there's the chance to be a loser like your uncle and run away. ”

Roysen still hasn't changed his face, but there was a thorn in his last words that made him feel slightly insulted.

Carfen stops eating and smiles. He shakes his head and says again.

“Living in a pigsty, you don't even know you're a pig. Look, my queen. Look at these pigs. No matter how many children you have, if you don't have love, look at how you live. ”

Rosamund only looks at Carfen with a sad look. When Carpen felt her gaze, he suddenly thought he was miserable and disgusting.

The scene in my head when I was going to kill my brother passed. When I stabbed my brother in the chest, I remembered the feeling in my hands.

Karpen stands up firmly and says,

“I'll be going. You have a good night's stay in this pigsty. ”

Then he tried to leave the building. But Albrecht had no intention of sending Carpen.

“Herman, get Carpen. ”

Even in this serious situation, Hermann, who was eating meat, raised a distracting figure when he heard Albrecht's order. Then I grabbed Carpen and dragged him away.

“Profit! What are you doing?! I'm going!”

“Sit down and relax. Carpen.”

“What am I supposed to be? ”

No matter who saw it, Carpen was excited, but he didn't think he needed to calm down.

Hermann squashes Carfen, holding him back one by one. The Knights of the Banhenheim looked down on Carpen with contempt, and Randolph was eating to make sure he didn't think the sword was serious. The atmosphere was a little cluttered.

Randolph and Hermann seem to have no interest in Carfen's personal problems.

“Listen to me, Carpen. I don't know about the past, but it's right to run away from here now. I can't have my C.F.O. showing up like that. ”

“Running away! How can you run away from this disgusting, filthy place!? ”

“It's your family, even though it's disgusting and dirty. ”

At Albrecht's words, Carfen is speechless. The brilliant and resourceful head doesn't think of anything to say quickly. Carfen just whispers.

“Let's see……”

Karfen or not, Albrecht scratches his beard and thinks for a moment. The people of Banhenheim look carefully at the situation as it seems that something is going wrong.

The Banhenheim family, basically, obeyed the authorities. Because as a champion family on behalf of the duel, powerful people were their biggest customers.

Moreover, it was easy to hold grudges because they were destined to do the work of calling for blood. That's why we also needed the protection of the powerful.

No matter how good he was at fighting, he was a family specialized in one-on-one combat, so he couldn't get over it with an army.

The people of the Banhenheim family knew. Albrecht holds the stakes of his life and is the most powerful monarch in the world.

Albrecht frowns, relieves his eyes and thinks clearly. My frown cleared up if I had a good idea.

“This should be good. Carpen, this area will be taken to land, including here. So you're going to be the Archbishop? Either way, you can do with them whatever you want. Kill him or save him. What do you think?”

Carpen's expression became serious. What's this monster saying? Albrecht only smiles as he looks at him.

Even the people of the Vanhenheim family, who didn't look like dolls, heard Albrecht's words and made slight frowning and serious faces. A disgrace to our family, and that loser holds the right to life and death?

From the vanhenheims' point of view, it sounded like a real clean wall. The king who completely conquered the North and smashed the Central Alliance into a mounted war, came to them without fail, wielding his collar around and doing whatever he wanted.

But how can I disobey the words of the strongest and most powerful army in the world?

Albrecht looked at Carpen and kept saying,

“I don't want to interfere with their lives. But it seems to me, the problem with your family is that it's going to keep bothering you. Sometimes you have to face reality you don't want to face, Carpen. And, if you have to, you have to get your hands dirty, even in blood, to solve the problem. Even if it leaves a scar on your heart, you just have to hold it. ”

The last thing he said to himself was, With a slight smile on Albrecht's mouth, Rosamund grabs his hand. Albrecht gives his wife a gentle smile.

Even Albrecht was only a man. I had no choice but to endure the unbearable weight of blood, relying on the people around me.

There were two ways to bear the weight of blood. One was to give up being human, and the other was to have good relationships with good people and rely on each other.

In Earth history, the Great Lakes were not wrong. Love, friendship, trust, and sacrifice were the drivers of human beings even in the face of severe adversity.

Rosamund, Randolph, Hermann, Carpen...... When they were tired and tired, Albrecht was saved with all their heart. It wasn't just about getting it. Although they were all small and clumsy, Albrecht and I had a relationship that leaned on each other with our hearts and souls.

“What are you going to do with us, Uncle? ”

The party owner, Roysen, said by another family member. But Carpen didn't think of anything to say.

Although there should be practical boundaries and formal procedures, the monarch's words were most eloquent.

Carfen, who was universally major-level or duchess, was ridiculous and frustrated. I didn't feel happy at all.

Albrecht was right. He was right to run. But as long as I received the territory, I was responsible for the people. It also included its own family.

Do I really have to kill the whole family with my own hands? No, Albrecht told me to kill or save. He didn't tell me to kill. Is there any other way? Why am I even thinking about this?

“Oh, no. No, no, what am I talking about? I'm not gonna kill you. So, first of all, I'm gonna take the kids. ”

Carfen seems pretty distracted. Rather than becoming the Archbishop, Earl fell into a position where he had to deal with the family affairs in front of him.

I was confused and did not come to reality as soon as I solved the problem that had been troubling me my whole life with my own hands.

“Then I have no choice. Request a duel. I think you know our style well. ”

The knight who asked him what to do with them said. Albrecht scratches his beard again with a shivering look.

He's not denying Albrecht's decision to lay his land on Carpen, but he's trying to solve the problem on an admissible line. Duelling was a culture like the identity of the North or Central.

Even Albrecht saw much of it, and he also respected the sanctity of the duel as a Northman. However, as soon as I said it, I didn't like it a bit because it looked like this.

The people of the Banhenheim family took a look at Albrecht's face. Seeing the king's lack of reaction, it seemed a bit reassuring.

But Albrecht was an insurmountable problem. The Archbishop you just appointed will die in a duel, isn't that right?

“What will you do with the duel? Don't you think duels are supposed to be worth fighting for? Carpen is the Archbishop now. Fighting isn't the place to get hot just because people like you are fighting. ”

In front of Albrecht, even the famed family of champions were nothing but gazelles. The people of the Banhenheim family looked at Albrecht with their cool, sharp eyes.

But the king was right. Duel was originally a principle for kings to be kings, lords to be lords, and knights to be knights.

If the top person accepted the duel when the grade did not meet, the duel would be won. Otherwise, if the duel was defeated, the duel would not be won.

Of course, it all depends on the situation, but it was hard to hear that you were a coward when you refused the duel. However, it was practically impossible to accept it again and again.

That's why Albrecht called them gags. If they had all accepted the duel, all the world's lords would be dead.

Either way, it was up to Carpen to take it or not.

“What are you going to do, Uncle? Will you run away again? Like a cowardly rat? ”

The knight has provoked Carpen. But it did bring Carpen to his senses. Karfen glances back at his niece, and his face is smiled as silly as ever.

“No way, dear niece. But I will make a champion like a man of the house. These three are my champions. If we defeat them all, we won't care about the family business anymore. On the contrary, if I win, the family will do as I please. ”

The three men Carfen spoke of were Albrecht, Randolph and Hermann. Albrecht is dumbfounded. I am your king. Randolph and Hermann's reaction was no different. Why would I do that?
