Grand Dad Is The Pervert God-Chapter 135 The King’s Purge Has Began
The arrival of the new guests was sudden and unexpected.
They appeared from the woods with their armors clearly announcing their arrival.
These were men with full body silver armor. Even their mounts were dressed as they were.
These mounts were big and ferocious. A good number of them had horns that did not help the beasts look any cuter
Their eyes glowed a slight green in the night.
One look at these men in full body armor and Erso knew who they were. After all, they carried two flags.
One was the flag that represented the royal family.
The second flag was the flag that represented the King himself.
This meant that these were knights under the king himself.
Their arrival had been an incredible surprise to every body.
The Mounts walked steadily. They created a formation about Eros, Viscount, lady Frostbite, and Viscount Peter.
Their sudden appearance made everyone alert.
Viscount even raised her bow before her face.
The soul beasts surrounded them.
And then one of the mounts stepped forward.
this one was slightly different from the others.
For one, it was bigger and the armor on its body was painted red.
The knight on it slowly removed his helmet, revealing a face that was decorated full with obviously well oiled black beards.
"I am lieutenant Vapor of the White Silver knights under the direct command of the King His Majesty King Richard," as he talked, he brought out a golden scroll from a porch, and opened it.
"All kneel to the king's decree!"
Behind the Scroll had the symbol of the King.
This was really a Royal decree.
Even though the order had been given to kneel, only lady Frostbite went on her knees.
Eros in his black clothes and mask remained standing. It was not that he did not want to kneel, but that was not even possible. His Pride as a god that had lived for eons was not going to let him drop so low as to bow to a mortal king.
For Eros, Death was an easier option.
He was not the only one.
Viscount also refused to Kneel.
Immediately, the knights unsheathed their weapons and pointed it at them.
To not kneel before the king's decree was a capital offence.
However, the lieutenant raised his hand to stop his men from attacking.
He gave a cocky smile, and proceeded to continue with the decree.
"Viscount Peter! You have been found guilty of cooperating with Usurpers, namely the third Prince against the throne of his majesty the king. You are Hereby stripped of your position and right as Viscount. You will be escorted to the Palace for further investigations. Resistance will be met with very decisive approach to ensure cooperation. The Noblemen under your rule although not stripped of their titles if any, are to also cooperate and be escorted to the Royal Palace for further investigations."
Everybody heard the Decree loud and clear.
Viscount Peter injured on the ground was taken aback by this.
Meanwhile, Eros immediately remembered the words of Blind Eyes the Pirate captain, "The King's purge is coming. Whether guilty or innocent, blood will flow, and heads will roll. It is all a precautionary measure to ensure that the nobles remember the rule of the king."
Eros frowned.
Captain Blind Eyes had warned him before about this, and it was playing to reality before his very eyes.
The king had started his purge.
Rumors had it that Viscount Peter a very good relationship with the third Prince.
And now, it had resulted into a world of trouble.
There were two sets of information in that decree that caught Eros's attention.
Firstly, the third prince had staged a Coup against King Richard to seize the throne.
The second was that Viscount Peter had been found guilty.
This meant that Viscount Peter had already been investigated. His fate was sealed in death. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The fact that he had already been declared guilty was evidence that in other parts of the kingdom, the purge had started.
Nobles under the Viscount were also requested to come for questioning.
Although it was said in that manner, Eros did not trust those words one bit.
If he decided to allow these men take his family for questioning, the probability that this was going to end with them having their lives was extremely slim to none.
He had only just got back his grand daughter. He was not going to let either Penny nor Dan go just like that.
He looked about him. weapons were pointed at him all around.
"This is the Decree of the his Majesty the King of the Almace Kingdom."
Lieutenant Vapor rolled up the decree and placed it back in its porch. He removed another paper from the porch. This one was a picture of the Viscount.
His eyes traced the people he had read the Decree to.
"Viscount peter! you will be coming with us." He ordered and some Knights stepped forward and pulled him off from the ground.
"Help him with his wounds. He should be looking well for his execution."
Eros had heard those words loud and very clear. Even though the Decree had said that Viscount peter was to be taken in for further investigation, his fate to die was long already sealed.
It confirmed once more what Blind eye shad told him.
Blood was going to rain, and innocents were going to die.
Lieutenant Vapor turned to Lady frostbite. One look at her and he could tell that she was a noble woman.
"Who are you?"
"I am Baron Angela Frostbite of the Frostbite estate!"
Lieutenant Vapor's eyes brightened, "As a Baron, you heard the Decree. Please, if you don't mind, you are to come with us to the Royal Palace my Lady."
Lady Frostbite's injuries had already mostly heal. She gave a lady like respectful bow, and then she moved on her own towards the knights.
As she did, she heard a voice in her head.
"No matter what happens, you do not have any relations whatsoever with me."
She did not need to look back before she knew that it was from the man in Black that had saved her life time and time again.
"And for the both of you," Lieutenant Vapor turned to Eros and Viscount.
As he did, Eros noticed that the Knights tightened their grip around their weapons.
This was obviously an aggressive move.
Eros was not the only one that had noticed this. Viscount too had her eyes sharp as an eagle's on the Knights.
In fact, her eyes were even sharper on the knights.
"Those marks!" lieutenant Vapor frowned, "are you perhaps affiliated with the terrorist group organization called The Grand Order?"
"No! I am not," Eros responded.
"Oh really!? Then who what are you?"
Eros remembered the name that Viscount had given him.
"You can call me Black lightening Dragon!"
Lieutenant Vapor Chuckled a little. As he did, so did the other Knights.
"In that case, Black Lightening Dragon, why did you not kneel when the King's Decree was read, or are you an enemy of the state?"
Eros could both feel and see that Knight Vapor was slowly releasing his Soul energy. This knight was at the peak of the Soul Apostle Realm.
"No! I am not. But please forgive my manners. I cannot kneel. Not even before King Richard himself!"
Those words infuriated the Knights.
However, at this time, Viscount suddenly stepped forward.
"Why the fuck are we still fucking Talking? I am of the grand order, and you are all dead meat!"
*SHOOT! SHOOT!! SHOOT!!!*
She released the arrows of her cross bow again and again.
One of which went straight for Lieutenant Vapor and two others right for two of the other knights.
However, Lieutenant Vapor was very fast.
His Soul Energy Exploded out of his body like a flood as he immediately brought out his sword in quick defence.
*Dang!!!*
His sword blocked the arrow right before his face.
Unfortunately, the other two knights had not been so fortunate.
"KILL THEM!!!" Lieutenant Vapor ordered in anger.
The knights brought out their weapons as they attacked from all sides.
"Shit!" Eros cursed as he was forced to release his soul energy.
After what had happened at the Frostbite Estate, Eros had already made it a habit to use Lightening when he was using this identity as the Black lightening Dragon.
He immediately activated his lightning technique. Expanding the technique in all directions.
These men were wearing metal armor and carrying metal weapons.
His Lightning ability was really their bane.
However, that did not mean that these men were useless.
After all, they were knights under the king.
Their battle awareness was incredible.
The blast by Eros only managed to get those in front.
"SHIELDS!!!"
Lieutenant Vapor screamed.
Immediately, their shield were raised up.
The lightning hit the shields but bounced off.
Eros Frowned.
These men were using shields that could reflect attacks back.
The Lighting he had sent off was all rushing back for him.
