Chapter 794: Chapter 309: I Choose Austin, As He Is The Popular Choice

Seeing that her ally had something to say, Sofia’s brows furrowed slightly.

With the matter of the Lando Family settled, what more did the Death Knight have to say? Was he dissatisfied with her handling of it?

What business did affairs between sovereign and subject have with the Death Knight? Could it be that Douglas was the one causing trouble, involving the Death Knight in his schemes against the Lando Family?

My Prince, you are going too far!

Seeing Austin’s flustered face, Sofia closed her eyes, pondering for a moment, ultimately without a word.

She was a qualified politician and knew who was more important at the moment between Austin and the Death Knight.

Douglas, who was worried that no one dared to speak up, saw the Death Knight’s dissatisfaction and immediately put on a smiling face.

That kick to the ass wasn’t in vain, at the critical moment, the Death Knight was reliable!

Rupert and Barnie, two useless characters, coveted the assets of the Lando Family, agreed to be pawns and receive rewards after the fact, yet they became speechless at every word from the Queen.

With such faint hearts, how would they ever accomplish great things!

Unlike Hefei, who was curiously awaiting the Death Knight’s statement, Philomena grew clearly nervous. The sensitivity of a Legendary Mage surpassed that of a Golden Mage, and she could sense several glances belonging to Legendary Mages directed their way at the very moment Austin spoke with a forceful tone.

There was an ambush set up at the banquet hall, all waiting for Douglas to smash the red wine glass in his hand, at which point the Legendary Mages would swarm in.

Austin...

He was extremely flustered, staring at the Death Knight venomously, as if he had found his father’s killer.

"From my immature perspective, it’s obvious that the Lando Family harbors a double-heart. They pledge loyalty to the Queen, yet they defy the Prince in secret. What do you call this?"

Wayne looked around at everyone, and with no one playing along, he answered his own question: "This is called having no regard for the Monarch. It is clear preparation for rebellion!"

Sofia sighed in her heart, and sure enough, the Death Knight had been swayed by Douglas.

It was her fault; she should not have given Douglas the power of liaison, which allowed him to take advantage of the situation.

And with her previous deliberate avoidance, she should have been more considerate of her husband’s feelings, rather than vaguely passing over mentions of Austin, showing too much guilt.

Even if she indeed felt a bit guilty, that was all in the past now.

"Knight Lord speaks rightly!"

Douglas nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the hero’s view. He also thought that Austin was arrogant and rebellious by nature, born a rebel.

Traitors and rebels should be executed by everyone!

"I had been silent just now, observing, the performances of everyone present and the attitude of the Royal Family, as well as the restrained explosion of the Lando Family. I’ve discovered quite a few shining points in Austin, much stronger than the Royal Family," Wayne said, masquerading as the Death Knight.

Everyone was stunned at his words, and Sofia and Douglas looked at him simultaneously, wondering if he was being sarcastic.

"Firstly, the members of the Tulip Family present are all turncoats, submitting because of the Royal Family’s powerful strength. There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve always believed that power comes from the fist, and the Royal Family has the right to make the Tulip Family submit."

Wayne stood up and slowly left his seat: "But compared to the Lando Family, this submission seems so pathetically laughable, almost like a clown. I almost thought you were jesters kept by the Queen."

"Look at Mr. Austin, he has always submitted to the Royal Family. It wasn’t until the Prince pushed him that he set aside his loyalty. His defiance wasn’t for the benefit of his family but for the people he cares about. I greatly admire his passion and righteousness."

"..."xN

Everyone was confused, unable to understand why the Death Knight would praise Austin.

Hefei also didn’t understand. From what she knew, the relationship between father and son was very strained, with small conflicts and digs at each other from time to time.

So, why would the son say good things about his father against his better judgment?

Was this a new tactic of suppressing before praising?

There’s no hurry, let’s wait and see.

What are you thinking, watching the show at such a time? The Death Knight will be here soon!

Philomena was nearly frantic, using telepathy to inform Hefei of the surrounding ambush. With many against them, even if Wayne transformed into the Naturalist Knight to confront the Death Knight, they would be surrounded by Legendary Mages. If they held him back, they would only impede Wayne.

Good child, you are really good for Wayne.

Hefei’s eyebrows raised, they say adversity shows true feelings, and she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Aside from being a bit older, she was nearly flawless.

Especially her attitude towards Wayne, it was clearly true affection.

Unlike that shameless Old Witch, who knew only to covet her son’s body.

Tsk, despicable!

"Mr. Austin is passionate and righteous, and compared to him, the members of the Tulip Family are practically trash."

Wayne’s skull-faced expression showed a continuous sneer: "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not targeting a specific person. I mean everyone present is trash!"

"When the Royal Family is strong, you willingly submit. When the Royal Family shows even a slight weakness, you each have your thoughts. Loyalty that isn’t absolute is absolutely no loyalty. As a Knight, I can’t stand the likes of you."

"..."xN

If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t beat you, I’d really like to give you a piece of my mind!xN

If you’re so capable, take off your Shadowmare and fight. Without that sword, you’d be a coward, laughing at whom here!xN

People were inwardly defiant, intimidated by the Death Knight’s strength, each with heads bowed not daring to retort.

At the same time, they consoled themselves with a justification: rebuking the Queen’s ally was equivalent to rebuking the Queen herself. They took the scolding without talking back and saw it as extreme loyalty.

Wayne looked down upon the crowd with disdain and went on boasting about Austin, even as the latter’s eyes widened in disbelief, not affecting his grandiose praises.

"Austin has already shown his loyalty to the Queen. It is the Prince who has been persistent in pushing him, driving him towards the path of rebellion."
