Section 83: Enclosed

Ashu Rufate was not a fool. He immediately understood that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed. In this era, even if there was a difference between aristocrats and squire nobles, at least the difference was very small. When he was in Brassian, he was also called "Ahu Rufate Knights". If it weren't for a hidden enemy causing trouble, then he could have married multiple wives at one time according to the privileges of the nobles. The same is true for the city of Eagle and Falcon. Not to mention anything else, just in the duel, the ten witnesses (all of them were aristocrats) did not give any opinions on this matter, which itself shows the general view of people in this era. Even if Ashu Rufate attended those noble parties, he did not receive any discrimination because of his identity as a squire noble. As long as you are not a pauper, those "real" aristocrats will not particularly discriminate against squire nobles.

Besides, Ashu Rufate is now serving as the Queen's personal bodyguard. According to regulations, if he holds this position for one year, he will be able to obtain the official knight title personally enthroned by the Queen.

Things could not have been triggered by that duel... there should be another force operating. Someone is trying to find loopholes from him...

Ashurufate couldn't help but put his hand on the hilt of his sword, but Scadra pulled his hand and signaled him not to act rashly.

"But, Lord Commander, you know that Ashu Rufate can get the knight in just one year..."

"Mr. Scardra, hasn't he been in full for a year?" the commander said to Scardra politely, but his hand tried hard to push him aside. "No matter what, he duels as a civilian... No matter who he killed, what he did was a private fight, and the law would not allow! This is a official business, please understand."

He looked at Ashu Rufate and showed a sarcastic smile. Although they all knew that Ashu Rufate was a very strong warrior, what could he do in this situation? If he resisted, it would be even more appropriate to the big man's wishes. Of course, it doesn't matter if he didn't resist... Then there would naturally be countless ways to deal with him. It would be common for the prisoners in the prison to die!

"Wait, what are you quarreling!" A young female voice rang out, and then the little girl, Luvia Angel, Queen Markremiz, walked into Scadra's office.

Everyone, including Scadra, immediately saluted the Queen.

"My Majesty, please forgive me, but I am in the official position. This Mr. Ashurufate committed a crime of private fight. According to the law, I will arrest him."

"Private fight? What kind of private fight?" asked the little girl.

"This Mr. Ashurufate had a duel with people in the Eagle City. But he actually did not have the status of a nobleman, which was illegal. If such illegal acts were tolerated, the majesty of the law would be gone."

"Why is he not a noble?"

“By the law, he must serve as your guard for a whole year before he can obtain the status of a noble…”

"Ah, he doesn't need to wait so long," said the little girl. "I have already conferred him as a knight since the first day he served as my guard. So he has long been a nobleman."

"Ah...wait...Your Majesty... are you kidding?"

"Why am I kidding?" the little girl replied seriously. "Am I not a queen? Isn't it my power to enthrone a noble? Do you question a queen's words?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not." The commander sweated. "But... Mr. Ashurufate failed to provide written documents..."

"It's just a document! Who would carry such a document with you? If the procedures are insufficient, just let him give it to you in a few days." The little girl snorted disdainfully. "Do you question me?"

The commander glanced at the others around him and tried to resist such pressure. But after all, the queen of a country was in front of him, and the little girl finally won.

"This...this...this is here under the order of the Duke of Byron..."

"I know, this is just a misunderstanding. The Duke is busy with all his life, so how could I bother him with such a trivial matter?" the little girl replied. "In short, Ashu Ruffat is a knight I personally enthroned, and his aristocratic status is unquestionable. What is "private fight" or something is just a misunderstanding of Byron. You go and tell your boss the situation... Well, it is not appropriate to go back like this..."

The little girl came to Scadra's desk. She originally had paper and pens, so she picked up a piece of paper and wrote a note.

"This is my proof, I believe it is enough to explain this misunderstanding. You can leave."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you for your understanding." The commander received the note, bowed to thank him, and left with his subordinates in shame.

"Okay, this little trouble has been solved." The little girl raised her head, "Go back, we are only halfway through the class." His last sentence was to Ashu Rufate.

After a while, they returned to the Queen's bedroom.

"Ashu Rufate, you actually duel with someone?" the little girl asked with interest.

"Someone must cause trouble, so I had to kill him. Besides, I found out later that person was a believer of the evil god."

"Okay, no matter what, should I thank me? I'm the queen, but the queen lied for you."

"Thank you very much, indeed." Ashu Rufate replied with a smile.

"Actually, I'm a little curious. What would you do if I didn't come forward just now? Let them take it away?"

"No." Ashu Rufate replied. "I will find a way to escape."

"Escape? But they have... so many people, it should be impossible to escape."

"People block killing people, god block killing god." Ash Rufate smiled slightly and replied. "Okay, that's what I plan. It's really not suitable to do it here, but I can wait halfway, pick up an opportunity to kill them all, and then leave Eagle Falcon City immediately."

"But... in this way, you will still have your wanted order."

"I believe it won't. Scadra witnessed me being taken away with her own eyes. According to the logic of normal people, he would definitely not believe that I could escape halfway. So this wanted order will be difficult to issue, and it will take a long time to issue it. I will definitely have enough time to leave Groone. At that time, the world is so big, where can't we be home?"

"Are you... planning to leave me? Do you think this is right?" The little girl didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Hey, as I said before, if there is only one choice, then there is no right or wrong at all." Ashu Rufate replied calmly. "It seems that I was wrong. Duke Byron already knew that we killed his son."

"ah……"

"Well, this is easy to understand. After all, only Little Byron and his four bodyguards came to us that day." Ash Rufate said. "He may also be with other servants, entourages, etc., but he did not come forward at that time. Since Little Byron recognized us, his servants were also very likely to know about this. After we left, this man would report everything to the Duke of Byron."

"You mean, what you said before, the Duke Byron was arresting people everywhere on the streets, 'regulating public order' and so on..."

"It's just a fool of a shot," said Ashu Rufate. "I think... he might have any action."

"Action? What else can he do?" replied the little girl. She was very open-minded in this regard. Perhaps it was because she successfully repelled the sudden attack of Duke Byron just now that the little girl was in a high mood. "By the way, Ashu Rufate, I have enthroned you as a knight. What kind of heraldry do you think you need?"

"Emblem? Ah..."

"Well, although we don't have the tradition of drawing heralds on breastplate and shields like Stigia, heraldry is still an indispensable part of the aristocratic status. For example, my family, the Markremiz family, the heraldry is the white eagle heraldry, and is sometimes called the eagle heraldry." The little girl took out a small stone sculpture from somewhere. "Look at this, the white eagle flying in the blue sky. This is the symbol of our family. The eagle that is tall above the blue sky and looks down on the world represents the courage and pride of our family. You can also choose a pattern, a pattern that can match you, represent you, or a pattern that is extremely valuable and commemorative to you."

"A pattern..." Ashu Rufate pondered.

"You can try to draw one." The little girl took out the paint and a pen. As mentioned earlier, the most unabridged thing here is various learning tools and books.

Ashu Rufate painted on paper, but he hadn't thought it through, but his hands were not hesitant at all. He drew a dragon shape on the paper and painted it red.

"Red Dragon Emblem? Do you feel like a powerful dragon?" The little girl finished reading Ash Rufate with interest.

"No, I just..." Ashu Rufate had no idea why he drew this pattern. Wait, this pattern... heraldry... those dreams... by the way! In those dreams, no matter what his identity is, what people are from his subordinates, it seems that the flags with this red dragon-shaped pattern flying in the army are all flags painted in the red dragon-shaped pattern.

"Okay, since you like it, use this pattern." The little girl picked up the paper. "Okay, Ashu Rufate, I will confer you as a knight in the name of the queen. And allow you to use this red dragon...the blood dragon pattern as your family's emblem."

The little girl said with a smile. "Okay, the enthronement is completed. Now you are a knight."

"Wait a minute...it seems to be...by the way, since I am a knight, I should be able to get a piece of knight territory as a fief, right?"

"I can't do anything about this. But it doesn't matter. Ashurufate, now the enthronement of a noble and the granting of fief are two different things. The enthronement is enthroned and the fief is enthroned. In fact, it's okay to have no fief. You can get a salary instead."
