7 KINGDOMS: conquest
32. the arrest of Noran

Several soldiers entered the inn with their weapons and shields, leaving many of the inn's visitors terrified.

"Where is Noran?!" shouted the soldier captain.

Some visitors recognize the armor worn by the soldiers, they are troops from Duke Russell.

"The Duke Russell's men are here, and they look angry."

"Who made them angry?"

"It looks like they'll punish him harshly."

Moments later, five people were seen coming down the stairs, the front of which was Noran and behind him were Sin and the others.

"I'm Noran, what's the need?" ask Noran.

The warrior captain looked at him and smiled, not a smile but like a grin.

"You're Noran? You'll come with us. Catch her!" said the captain of the guard.

Noran walked forward and looked at the man, Sin and Mike had been holding their handles, intending to fight off the soldiers of Duke Russell.

Noran gave a sign that they would not fight back, he was curious as to what Duke Russell's current face looked like.

Two guards held Noran's hand and carried him away, two spears also seen being pointed at Noran.

"Prince Duke Russell's soldier? How dare he arrest our master." said Sin.

Because Noran told them to calm down, they obeyed him. Watching the dozens of soldiers go and arrest Noran.

"Quickly, we should also go" Sin said.

"But, didn't the master tell us not to attack?" Toun.

Sin smiled, looking at the three comrades.

"Not attacking doesn't mean you can't leave, let's hurry" Sin said.

The four of them rushed off following Duke Russell's soldier who was carrying Noran.

Somewhere else...

Duke Aaron's Residence...

It was seen a guard running towards the mansion, opening the door and immediately rushing towards Duke Aaron's room.

Panicous expressions were evident to him, he immediately went in and called out to Duke Aaron with a shout.

"Master! Master!" his yell.

Duke Aaron frowned, why was his guard shouting loudly inside the mansion.

Moments later, the door opened, and a guard entered the room with a face full of sweat and irregular breathing.

"What's wrong with you?" ask Duke Aaron.

"There's important news sir!" said the guard.

"important news? What's important news?" ask Duke Aaron.

He wondered what made his subordinates so panicked.

"Young master Noran...Young master Noran." he said severedly.

"What happened to Noran?!" Duke Aaron felt angry because of his unclear way of speaking.

"Young master Noran, captured by Duke Russell!" he said surprised because at the snaps Duke Aaron.

"Duke Russell's got Noran? Why?!" ask Duke Aaron.

"From what I've heard, young lord Noran has injured Duke Russell's son, young master Leon" the guard said.

"Hurt Leon? Why did he do it?" thought Duke Aaron.

"Prepare the guards, we'll be there soon" Duke Aaron said.

"Okay sir" said the guard.

Immediately down from the room and on his horse, he set out with 20 guards following behind him.

With the sword with them, Duke Aaron felt this would be something bad.

...

Duke Russell's Residence.

50 heavily armed soldiers lined up neatly, looking at Noran who had been made to kneel forcefully.

Duke Russell then walked out, seeing the young man who had injured his son had been arrested, he was delighted.

He walked closer, and smiled happily.

"How dare you hurt my son, I will make you regret it" Duke Russell said.

Pahs...

Slapping floated up and hitting Noran's face, Noran smilingly looked at the old man.

"The son is a reflection of his father." murmured Noran.

Punch after punch landed on Noran's face, making a red mark on his cheek.

"You have to teach your son to know who he can't offend" Noran said.

Duke Russell got angrier and slapped him harder. Noran felt he had slapped her enough.

"Hanging him!" duke Russell said.

Two guards took Noran to a gallows which they had prepared.

At that moment, a group of people came to Duke Russell's residence. They were Duke Aaron and his subordinates.

"Duke Russell! Stop it right now!" shouted Duke Aaron.

The two soldiers stopped and looking at who was shouting, they looked towards Duke Aaron who was riding a horse.

"Duke Aaron, why are you meddling in my affairs?" His speaking tone changed.

He was annoyed that the old man had interfered with his affairs, even bringing along many of his subordinates.

The soldiers of Duke Russell immediately marched, blocking Duke Aaron and his subordinates. Two teams now face each other.

Duke Aaron then got off his horse and walked a few steps.

"Take him off" Duke Aaron said.

Duke Russell frowned, why should he let go of the person who injured his son.

"I won't let go, continue hanging it!" duke Russell said.

Noran was the healer of his wife, and he should have protected his wife's healer.

"Release Noran! I don't want to do it by force." Duke Aaron said.

"Oh? Violence?" Duke Russell smiled and turned his head towards Duke Aaron.

"violence? Hahaha, what kind of violence? If it was 2 years ago, I might have been scared.

But now, your strength is nothing. Bluffing me? That's not going to work" Duke Russell said.

His troops had drawn their swords, pointed them at Duke Aaron and protected Duke Russell.

Duke Aaron felt angry, the old man was so cunning, only the morning he came and behaved sweetly in front of him, and now he intended to attack him.

Duke Aaron released his sword from its sheath, his subordinates following him and preparing to attack them.

Duke Aaron walked forward to the front of the troops, holding a sword in his hand and staring at Duke Aaron sharply.

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, it's time for me to invade your territory" Duke Russell said.

Duke Aaron realized that, if he took a step against the other Duke, it was likely that they would use it as an excuse to attack him.

"For the savior of my daughter and my wife, I will also save her." murmured Duke Aaron.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Duke Russell sharply.

"Today, I declare war on you Duke Russell!" duke Aaron said.

Both armies were smashed, with the two dukes as the center.

"Duke Aaron?" Noran was surprised to hear Duke Aaron's last words.

Declaring the war to Duke Russell who was many times stronger was a bad thing, he realized that this was caused by him.

"Aura Battle!" shouted Noran.
