Chapter 566 Another surprise

??After the marquis was knocked out, the fourth prince gave a nod to the cloaked figures.

The cloaked figures didn't miss a beat as they came forward to grab the marquis, but then they came over to where Cecilia was.

Cecilia couldn't help revealing a wary look when she saw this.

Though she knew that these cloaked figures listened to the fourth prince, she couldn't help being nervous since she had seen that these cloaked figures…were actually stronger than her.

It wasn't just one or two of them that were stronger, but all of them that were stronger.

The way that they had knocked out the subordinates of the marquis, even she was barely able to see their movements, though she was able to see their movements in the end.

She knew that in terms of speed, she wouldn't be able to match them if they wanted to do something.

However, all the cloaked figures did was ask, "Where's the dungeon? We need a place to keep this traitor of the kingdom."

Cecilia couldn't help revealing a surprised look when she heard this.

Then she slowly turned to look at me as if she was asking for my permission.

It was only when I gave a simple nod that she finally led the way for the cloaked figures.

Of course, not all of the cloaked figures went with Cecilia.

Only two of them went with her since it only took two of them to bring the unconscious marquis to the dungeon. The rest of them all remained here with the knocked out subordinates of the marquis.

There were also two of them who moved over to where the fourth prince was, standing near him as if they were protecting him.

The fourth prince ignored all of this and waved his hand at me to come over.

I was surprised to see this, but I slowly walked over to where the fourth prince was.

When I did, the fourth prince looked at me and asked, "Brother, have you set up the knight order that you were allowed to set up yet?"

I was even more caught off guard when I heard this, but I didn't give an answer.

After all, I didn't really know about this.

I turned to look at Rose and she gave a nod in response.

I had left this matter to Rose to take care of, so she would know the situation much better than me.

It seemed that she had been busy and had already finished setting up this knight order while I had been away.

So I turned back to give a nod to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince gave a nod as well before turning to look at the subordinates of the marquis.

He gave a nod to the cloaked figures that were standing around these subordinates.

When they received this nod, the cloaked figures didn't hold back at all as they suddenly slapped the unconscious subordinates on the ground.

The moment that they were slapped, they immediately awakened from their slumber.

They immediately held their faces with looks of pain on their faces, but they also slowly remembered what had happened and raised their guards. Seeing the cloaked figures that were standing in front of them, they didn't dare resist at all as they waited to see what would happen next.

Only when all of them were awakened did the fourth prince suddenly say, "I will offer you two choices now, make your decision wisely."

The subordinates were taken aback when they heard this.

However, they could also see that the marquis was missing, so they could already guess what had happened.

They just waited to see what the options the fourth prince gave them were.

"Submit or death."

It was three simple words, but it sent a chill down their spine.

All of the subordinates looked at the fourth prince as if they were wondering if he was joking, but the fourth prince had a very serious look on his face. It was clear that he wasn't joking with the serious look that he had.

After a moment of silence, one of the subordinates couldn't help asking, "Your highness, what do you mean by submit?"

It wasn't that they were against this, but they had to have more information.

They wanted to know what the situation was, or else if they were forced into slavery by submitting, perhaps death would have been the better option.

The fourth prince wasn't offended when he heard this, he even had a look of praise in his eyes after this was asked of him.

The fourth prince then gave a nod and said, "It's very simple. From now on, you will commit yourself to the knight order of Count Zwein. You will serve him with pride as proud knights of his order."

The subordinates were all shocked when they heard this.

Knight order, that was not as simple as it seemed.

A knight order was only established by those that received a coat of arms, something that could only be received when one had the recognition of the king and had performed great merit to the kingdom. Anyone that could receive a coat of arms definitely was not a normal person.

As such, anyone that would be able to join a knight order would be someone that would be respected by all.

And that was why they were shocked.

After all, this seemed more like a reward than a punishment.

Being a member of the knight order was far beyond just serving a marquis.

So they couldn't believe that they were given this opportunity.

At the same time, I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard this.

There was a part of me that did want them, but at the same time, there was a part of me that didn't want them.

After all, at one point, they had served the idiot marquis.

There was no knowing what kind of things that they had done under the marquis.

It was just that with the fourth prince taking the reins here, it was hard for me to say anything against this.
