Chapter 1458: Chapter 1458

"Whatever you say!" Peter Liam chuckled foolishly, almost wanting to say again: For the rest of my life, whatever you say goes! But seeing Glenn Mitchell clenching his fists on the side, Sixth Realm vigor surrounding his entire body in seven or eight circles, his respect unable to be violated - He finally maintained a trace of reason.

The leader among these dandies was indeed the younger brother of the Imperial Noble Consort, named David Firm Earth — originally named Roger Wright. The Wright family was originally from a town in the northeast direction of the Capital, and their ancestors had a unique skill in taming Spirit Insects. In his younger days, the Fifth Imperial Son was not favored by the late emperor. During the Insect Battle Competition that he organized himself, he wanted to recruit the Wright family to serve him.

At that time, although the Wright family didn’t dare to resist, they were also unwilling to truly pledge allegiance to the Fifth Imperial Son. So the Fifth Imperial Son selected the most beautiful woman from the Wright family to be his side consort in order to win their hearts. This woman was actually born out of wedlock - the legitimate daughter was too ugly, and the Fifth Imperial Son did not want to force himself - her younger brother didn’t even have a proper name, and according to the ranking of the brothers in the family, he was called Roger Wright.

From this, it can be seen that the Fifth Imperial Son was really miserable back then. It is also understandable that after the Wright family got suddenly rich, they would become arrogant and act recklessly. Our Wright family and the Fifth Imperial Son have shared hardships, and my sister has given birth to an Imperial Son for His Majesty!

Roger Wright was lying on the ground with half of his face swollen, groaning in pain, and it took him a while to recover. Scrambling onto his horse, he escaped back into the Capital city, "You wait for me! I’ll make sure you die, or I’ll write my name ’Wright’ upside down!" The other dandies also followed in a panic, fearing that they would be beaten again by that female demon.

Having grown up in the Capital, Peter Liam knew clearly about these matters: at this time, normally everyone would stop, and then gather again to fight another round to save face.

Because the old nobles in the Capital knew that the younger generation should solve their disputes on their own. If one went home to file a complaint with their elders, it would be truly embarrassing.

But that bastard Roger Wright didn’t understand this rule. Peter Liam hurriedly went ahead to inform his family, and as the initiator of the incident, Owen Bertram would definitely protect him. But he couldn’t give all the pressure to Owen Bertram, if the Wright family really started a fight, the Liam Clan would have to share the firepower, and that was the right way.

David was a bit worried, but also felt that Maria’s handling was refreshing. A faint smile appeared on his stern face. Owen Bertram waved his hand indifferently: "Let’s enter the city."

After entering the city, the huge team dispersed. There were actually not many people who qualified to stay with Owen Bertram in the small residence. Glenn Mitchell was completely relying on his sister’s face; otherwise, Owen Bertram would definitely let this guy find his own inn.

If it were really a resourceful minister with an old and intricate plan, Owen Bertram would have immediately entered the palace to apologize to His Majesty at this moment, which would actually give him the initiative. But Owen Bertram felt that the Wright family was disgusting, and he didn’t want to! Thus, he settled down peacefully with his sister and told her, "Quickly cook something, I’m starving."

Owen Bertram, a big elder statesman in the Capital City, had a... surprisingly clean reputation! Even this small yard was, strictly speaking, owned by the General Government and was only temporarily lent to Owen Bertram for his residence. The name on the deed had not even been changed to Owen Bertram. He was really clean-handed.

The emperor also wielded secret power, and the Imperial City Department was one of them. During this time, the Imperial City Department had been flattering His Majesty. Everyone saw that the emperor liked the current "Golden Age" appearance, so every day they reported to His Majesty which young talents entered the Capital to participate in the Dragon and Snake List.

Today, a revered Lord from the Imperial City Department finally got this opportunity and was reporting to His Majesty when they heard the Imperial Noble Consort burst into tears as she entered, "Your Majesty, I can’t live anymore. I risked my life to give birth to the Imperial Son for Your Majesty after ten months of pregnancy, but now I cannot even protect my own younger brother. My brother’s life is so bitter. Finally, his sister became rich and powerful, and he thought he could be arrogant, but as a result, he was bullied and beaten in public at the entrance of the Capital..."

The emperor’s anger flared, "What happened?" He truly loved the Imperial Noble Consort and the Imperial Son. He had an unhappy childhood, which led to a compensatory psychology. He wanted to make up for all the things he lacked in his own life through his son. The Wright family’s arrogance and dominance recently were of course due to the emperor’s backing.

Of course, the revered Lord from the Imperial City Department knew what was going on. He had originally planned to report it later, but now he had to say it in advance - however, how to report it was entirely up to the Lord.

Like the close ministers in history, the same event might have different effects depending on the narrative.

At this moment, the Lord wavered several times in his heart: should he lean towards Owen Bertram or the Imperial Concubine?

The revered Lord saw that His Majesty had already embraced the Imperial Concubine, personally wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her by patting her on the back. The Imperial Concubine’s favor was booming, and she had the protection of the Imperial Son! The revered Lord made a decision, saying, "Indeed, there was a dispute outside the South Gate of the Capital today. It was Owen Bertram entering the city, encountering the Imperial Concubine’s brother David Firm Earth. The road was congested, and both sides competed for space. One of Owen Bertram’s maids took action, and altogether, seven people, including David Firm Earth, were beaten."

The matter was indeed truthfully reported, and it was said that everyone started the conflict over competing for the road. But the key point was, how dare a servant girl by Owen Bertram’s sister’s side strike the Emperor’s brother-in-law?

While lying in His Majesty’s arms, the Imperial Noble Consort secretly gave the revered Lord an approving look. The Lord knew in his heart that his future was now secure!
