After being pinned to the ground by the two knights, AITEC still tried to struggle.

The two knights were both elites under the command of Count Cruz. Even with all his strength, AITEC was unable to break free from their restraints.

After the knights captured AITEC, they tacitly agreed that Count Cruz wanted to bring him back to the city Lord’s manor.

They grabbed Aitke’s arm and walked towards the door.

“Wait.”

Count Cruz’s sudden voice made the Knights stop in front of the door of the magic net hall.

Before the Knights could figure out what Count Cruz wanted to do, he quickly walked in front of his son, Aitke.

“Do you know your mistake?”Count Cruz asked.

However, Edelke turned his head and did not even look at Count Cruz. He kept his mouth pursed and remained silent.

Edelke’s behavior had already made his attitude clear.

“Kneel down.”Count Cruz could no longer tolerate it and gave a crisp order.

Hearing this order, both the knights who caught Edelke and Edelke looked at Count Cruz in surprise.

This was not the manor where the castellan lived. This was the public area of the magic net hall.

As the second son of an earl, he knelt in front of so many civilians. If he really did that… his dignity in Orson Castle would be completely destroyed, and he would become the laughingstock of all the civilians.

“Kneel… down!”

Count Cruz repeated these two words once again. His voice burst out from the gaps in his throat, and his anger seemed to have turned into substance as it poured out from these two words.

Aitke was still unmoved. Count Cruz took a glance at the two knights who had bound him.

The two knights revealed a pained expression. They had been under Count Cruz’s command for many years, and had watched this second son grow up with their own eyes.

However, they had no choice but to obey the count’s orders. The two knights placed their hands on Aitke’s shoulders, trying to force him to the ground.

Edko was still resisting, but his strength was insignificant in front of the two elite knights.

In just a few seconds, the sound of his knees suddenly hitting the ground reverberated throughout the hall.

The guests connected to the magic net in the hall were all attracted to him. A second son of the earl kneeling in front of so many people… This was enough to make many people who liked to gossip watch him for an entire day.

“Do you know your mistake?”

Count Cruz asked again. Aitke, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and finally raised his head to look at his father with a stubborn look.

“I’m not wrong!”He said in a deep voice.

This answer once again made Count Cruz’s anger burn. He reached out his hand to a knight beside him.

“Give me your scabbard!”

The Knight was stunned for a moment. In the end, he still pulled out the long sword from his waist and handed the scabbard to Count Cruz with both hands.

After receiving the scabbard, Count Cruz directly used it as a club and heavily hit Alterk’s shoulder.

The scabbard was made of steel, and it was inlaid with exquisite primary crystals.

When Count Cruz waved the scabbard, he did not show any mercy and used all his strength.

The clothes on Edko’s shoulder had been torn, and a bruise could be seen in the gap between the clothes.

Even so, Edko still gritted his teeth and did not make any sound.

“Answer me again. Do you know your mistake?”Count Cruz asked.

This time, alterk still did not answer. Count Cruz directly whipped him like a whip. This time, it was alterk’s cheek.

The steel scabbard hit Alterk’s cheek hard, and scarlet blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

“My Lord!”

The knight beside Alterk could not stand it anymore. He could not help but want to plead on his behalf.

“Shut up! Edko, you could have become the youngest honorary gladiator in Osenberg!”At this point, the anger in Count Cruz’s heart surged once again, he once again struck Edko’s shoulder with his scabbard. “I don’t object to you using the magic net, but you only know how to play the games on the magic net! It’s useless! The matches that could be won in the Gladiator competition ended in a humiliating defeat.”

Every time Cruz said a word, he would hit alterk’s body with his scabbard angrily.

He had no intention of showing any mercy at all. Every hit would leave a bruise on Alterk’s body, and blood would spill out from the cracks in his clothes and drip onto the floor.

In the end, Cruz seemed to be a little tired. He finally stopped waving his hands and looked at alterk, who was kneeling on the ground and covered in wounds.

“Answer me now. Do you know your mistake?”Count Cruz asked again.

“Lord Attek…”

A knight beside him reminded Attek in a low voice, hoping that he would not continue to hold on.

Attek slowly got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand. Then, he spat out a tooth and looked up at Count Cruz again.

“I. . . Am Not Wrong, Father.”A smile appeared on his bruised face. “My brother has been the champion for so long. I have never won against him in anything since I was young. He will be your heir in the future… but now I finally have something stronger than him, and that is the Holy Spirit! “That little guy with a broken hand can’t defeat me no matter what…”

Edecker’s answer had already caused blue veins to appear on Count Cruz’s forehead. He used his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and the hilt even showed signs of distortion.

“What’s the point of playing your game no matter how good you are!”Count Cruz was so angry that he wanted to use the hilt to lash at him again.

However, one of his arms was held by someone.

The other party’s strength was so great that it was terrifying. The pain from Count Cruz’s wrist stimulated him.

Count Cruz turned his head angrily, trying to figure out who was so bold. He would definitely send this guy to the gallows!

However, the moment Count Cruz saw the other party’s face, the anger in his heart was quickly suppressed.

“His Highness Prince Kaos?”

“Long time no see, Count Cruz.”

Kaos held his hand and slowly put it down. Then, he took the scabbard that was covered in blood and threw it to its owner.

“Are you here to participate in the Gladiator Competition?”

Count Cruz gestured for the two knights to bring back the scarred Edko.

“No, I’m here to carry out my mother’s orders and recruit a knight to join the cast iron people,”Kaos said.

The moment Prince Kaos said the word cast iron, it was enough to attract the attention of everyone in the hall.

This name represented the supreme honor in the country of steel, and it also represented the status above most of the nobles.

“I wonder which powerhouse has such an honor?”

Count Cruz really could not guess that there was a powerful knight in Orson Castle who would be chosen by the Queen.

“Your eldest son, Edko.”Prince Kaos came to Edko, who was covered in wounds, took out a medal and handed it to him, saying, “Your heroic performance on the battlefield of the Holy Spirit has been recognized by His Majesty the King. In the name of the Great Steel Eagle, this medal representing honor is awarded to you. Edko Slim, are you willing to accept it?”
