The earl showed no emotion or anger on his face. He walked closer and scanned the guards on both sides, especially staying for a moment on the barbarian and the injured ordinary guards.
At this time, Nalant and Aldin also put away their weapons and respectfully stepped forward to salute and greet them.
"I have met the Earl!"
"Very good! You two have promoted the prestige of our Tulip Earldom!" After hearing the greetings, it was the Earl who turned his attention to Nalant and Aldin.
"The Earl has this kid who is secretly hiding in the square..." Aldin was immediately ready to throw dirty water on Nalant, but he was only halfway through his words when he received a cold look from the Earl.
"Shut up! Your noble Viscount is having a private fight with a young man in this square. Do you still have any brains?"
The earl's scolding immediately shocked Aldin. His face turned dark, but he stopped speaking and did not dare to say any more.
During the whole process, Nalant lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
"Call all your men back. It's you two who are coming to the castle with me!" After scolding Aldin as an earl, he continued to speak calmly, as if the majestic and angry shout just now was not issued by him.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Earl!"
After hearing this, Nalant and Aldin both responded obediently.
Then the Earl turned around and returned to the castle without looking back.
Nalant quickly gave instructions to Rose and others to continue setting up the stall, and then followed the count and headed towards the castle.
As for the guards, they can only return to their residence in the reception area first.
…
"Hey, it's you, Andrew!"
At the same time, on the passage from the castle to the outside of the city, Andrew led the convoy slowly to the mountainside.
Because there was also an old man who had been married to Tulip for decades, nobles greeted him from time to time.
"It's coming! It's coming!" Andrew also responded enthusiastically with a cheerful look, but he couldn't see the brutality and toughness in the battle at all.
Soon Andrew successfully passed the gate and led the convoy to the welcome area.
"I don't know where little Nalant is. I haven't seen him for more than four months. I heard the housekeeper and Crow said that this kid has grown up. I don't know if it's true or not!"
Nalant did not come on the way. He only sent one of his men to inform him when he went to Andrew Castle.
Of course, his excuse was that he was traveling with friends, so he went to Tulip City first.
But in fact, I was worried that I would encounter many familiar faces when I arrived at Andrew's castle, and I was worried that it would be troublesome to deal with them.
So Andrew, who had not seen him for a long time, was thinking about his second son, who was said to have become outstanding recently.
But before Andrew could finish this thought, a noble came up from the front. After seeing him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Andrew, are you here?"
"O'Brien, you came quite early this year, but I don't have time to drink with you right now. I have to go see my little Nalant first!"
O'Bairn and Andrew were old acquaintances. Both of them didn't like the hypocrisy of nobles very much. They were considered good friends among the vassals. O'Bairn immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "I don't like it either now." I don’t dare to drag you out for a drink! Andrew, you really should go see your little Nalant as soon as possible!”
"Narant, what happened to him?" Andrew immediately heard that something was wrong.
"You just had a fight with Aldin in the square that time, and now both of them have been taken into the inner castle by the Earl!"
"That bastard actually made trouble for my son again, but I will never let him go this time!" Andrew was so furious that he immediately held down the hilt of his sword and prepared to rush towards the inner castle.
"Uh... Andrew, wait a minute!" O'Beirne quickly grabbed the murderous Andrew.
"What are you waiting for? O'Beirne is that bastard. If it wasn't for the sake of Lord Earl, I would have fought a life-or-death duel with him!"
"Andrew is your little Nalant this time. He suffered the loss because Aldin was slashed by his sword and several of the guardsmen were beaten with bruises and bruises by Nalant's men!"
"Huh?" Andrew was stunned as to why it was different from what he imagined. "O'Brien, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Although I was not present at the scene, I saw the count when he brought Nalant into the inner castle, and this matter has already spread in the square!" O'Brien was speechless, "Everyone is saying now Your second son is now favored by the God of Glory. He just fought Valad a few days ago and now he is fighting Aldin again!"
"Hiss! My little Nalant is so powerful?" Andrew was stunned because he heard something untrue.
The little Nalant in his memory was still the being who couldn't even hold a long sword tightly.
"Andrew is you from now on. Fortunately, you seem to be on the rise this time! Go to the inner castle and have a look!"
O'Beirne was full of envy. He was the most distinguished family in the aristocratic world, so basically one person could ascend to heaven.
He already knew the cause of the matter. The shaved ice must be able to make a lot of money, and the Berwick family would definitely not be as difficult as it is now.
"Oh! O'Bairn is waiting for me to treat you to a drink in the evening!" After hearing this, Andrew immediately realized that he hurriedly said goodbye to O'Bairn and ran directly towards the castle without caring about his eldest son and subordinates.
…
"My Lord, what happened today was caused by Sir Narant. He deliberately set up street stalls in the square, causing chaos in the square! I kindly stepped forward to dissuade him, but he not only refused to listen, but he was just like his rude father. You want to rely on a few barbarian guards to fight against me!"
"Lord Earl, you see, here is the wound he made with his sword. If it weren't for me, how could he, the Bronze Knight, have hurt me!"
In the meeting hall on the first floor of the inner castle, the earl sat expressionlessly on a high iron seat.
He didn't. He opened his mouth to ask and then silently glanced at the two of them after bringing them here.
The more this happens, the greater the pressure on Nalant and Aldin.
Finally, Aldin couldn't resist the pressure and took the lead in making excuses.
After hearing this, the earl expressed his opinion and looked at Nalant.
Nalant knew that the Earl had given him a chance to speak, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's because my Berwick family is relatively poor, and this time there is Miss Stella's birthday celebration, and I don't have much savings for Stella." Miss La is preparing a gift, so I set up a stall in the square today because I want to sell ice cubes and make money so that I can make money to buy a decent gift for Miss Stella!"
"Originally, the sale went smoothly because it was cheap and high-quality, and the nobles liked my ice cubes very much. But at this time, Viscount Alding brought more than thirty guards to drive away my customers and threatened to ask me to sell them immediately. Leave the square or you will overturn my business!"
"But my lord, the Earl, knows that you are considerate of the people and have not restricted the setting up of street stalls in Tulip City, so in order to make enough money, I refuse to do so."
"I told Viscount Alding that I would not leave unless the Earl personally ordered it!"
"But Viscount Aldin relied on his identity and strength to say that he could make the decision in the Tulip City without the earl's orders, so he directly asked his subordinates to draw their swords and wanted to take action. At this point, the nobles present It is clear that I asked my subordinates to defend themselves in order to protect myself and the stall."
