The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

After listening to it, William understood the ins and outs of it.

According to the laws of the Swak Kingdom, if a commoner kills a nobleman, whether it is intentional or unintentional, he will be sentenced to death immediately. The higher the status of the nobleman, the crueler the death penalty for the commoner, and his family members will be implicated.

However, if a nobleman killed a commoner, if it was unintentional, he only needs to pay a ransom to the deceased. If it was intentional, in addition to paying the ransom to the deceased, he would also be punished by the kingdom's noble council, usually by paying another ransom.

And this Prince Liszt and this handsome middle-aged nobleman have been arguing endlessly whether the middle-aged nobleman did it on purpose or not.

The middle-aged noble firmly believed that he killed the little boy unintentionally, because the little boy was too young and unable to work, so he was only willing to pay one-third of the normal ransom.

But Prince Liszt, who saw the middle-aged nobleman running into the little boy arrogantly on horseback, refused to give up. He insisted on this point, thinking that the middle-aged nobleman killed the boy on purpose, in addition to asking him to pay the normal ransom , also asked him to apologize to the noble council and pay the ransom for punishment.

How could a middle-aged noble agree to this!

Prince Liszt is a prince who is not loved by the king. His two elder brothers already have the fiefdoms bestowed by the king, but he has not. Instead, he often makes the king angry by telling the truth about the untouchables.

In the royal capital, apart from decent greetings, not many nobles would give this handsome prince the corresponding respect.

All the high-ranking gentlemen think that being granted a random territory is the final result of the prince, before the new king takes the throne.

Although the title of the middle-aged nobleman is not very high, the family from his mother's line has a high-ranking marquis, so he insists on his own opinion.

Of course, the main reason is that everyone in the capital knows that the king's third son is a "kind" person.

At the end of the entanglement, even the city guards were alarmed, and the king sent a password to scold Prince Liszt for his behavior.

But in the end the king still ordered the middle-aged nobleman to come up with a ransom—a complete ransom for a commoner.

The king didn't like Prince Liszt's behavior, and even felt disgusted, but he couldn't bear the dust on the reputation of the Ketrania family.

Things seem to work out.

The middle-aged nobleman dropped the ransom money and rode away with an ugly expression on his horse. The entourage ran behind.

Prince Liszt didn't care about the king's scolding at all, but was relieved by his behavior - he made a commoner get his son's ransom by himself. He comforted the victim a few words, and under the persuasion of the guards, he walked towards the palace.

The poor civilians who received the ransom looked around in panic, dazed and at a loss.

The tables and chairs in the hotel are either missing a corner, or a little high and low, and they all look greasy.

But even with such crude conditions, the entire hotel was still full of seats.

Travel-worn travelers, loafers who steal and play tricks, and women with strange smells and scantily clad clothes are all in full swing.

William couldn't bear such an environment, so after watching the incident, he asked Mrs. Mike, the owner of the hotel, for a room with the best conditions, and was going to take a rest.

He didn't intend to eat the food provided by this hotel. The extremely unhygienic production method not only made William feel sick, but also made him wonder if his stomach, a great knight, could bear it?

Although the gourmet table is gone, he has enough food in his backpack to handle a meal.

Just as William's feet were about to step over the last step on the second floor, a whisper of words suddenly reached his ears.

William frowned, and stopped in his tracks.

"Have you heard? Our king's health is getting worse,

I heard that I fainted again a few days ago. "

"Hehehe, shouldn't he be offended by our respected Prince Liszt? Look at what he did."

"Ah, it has nothing to do with Prince Liszt. The old king fell ill a while ago."

"Didn't you ask someone from the church to come and see?"

"I don't know about it. This is what a relative of mine who is a cook in the palace accidentally said. She also heard it from the tailor in the palace. But I guess, if the old king is really sick, People from the church should be invited to look at it.”

"Hehe, the church can't cure an old man who is naturally aging."

"Hush... You can't say such things casually, do you dare to be disrespectful to the church?"

"...I don't mean that. I just want to say that death is inevitable. Let's return to the theme. I heard that the old king intends to choose an heir!"

"Heir? The new king? Is it the tall and brave Prince Charles, or the clever Second Prince Ferret?"

"I don't know! The two princes are too good. If I were the old king, I would also feel a headache."

"Hehe... If you are the old king, then the little prince Liszt can become the king!"

"Hey, don't tell me, if the kind little prince Liszt is our new king, then the life of us ordinary people might be better."

"...Little Prince Liszt is not loved by other nobles. Look at the nickname they gave the little prince, heartless! Prince without heart—isn't this an insult?"

"Hey, our little prince is so kind. How could anyone care about things like that just now? If it was the other two princes, they probably wouldn't even take a look."

"You should be more confident and get rid of the possibility!"

"..."

"...

"What other news do you have? Which prince does the old king prefer?"

"I don't know! But there seems to be rumors that the two princes are too good, and the old king can't make up his mind, so he decided to test them. Whoever performs the best will be the next king."

"have no idea."

"Oh... Hey, since it's a test, will the little prince participate?"

"Probably not."

"What test?"

"If I knew everything, I wouldn't have to drink the worst ale with you here!"

The voice of the last sentence was obviously in a bad mood, and the tone of the voice was raised a few notches.

But it was nothing in this noisy hotel, and was quickly submerged in the unscrupulous noise.

And William also took another step, and walked towards his room, "The little prince who is careless, the two brothers, the test of the old king's throne... Does this sound so familiar?"

"If it's really that fairy tale, maybe..." William walked into his sour-smelling room, and after closing the door, he had a plan in mind.
