Chapter 170
The entire venue was in chaos.
At least the other nobles were happy to come and see the Laurent family's joke.
After all, it was really funny that such a big noble family could cause such a thing.
Jin Cheng looked at Fiona's low favorability towards him and wisely did not interfere with everything in front of him.

…
The conflict between father and daughter that had lasted for many years erupted like a tinderbox at this moment.
"Just one day, why can't you even endure this day! How will others view our family?
I've already told you, as long as today passes, I can do whatever you want..."
Sebastian was furious, he clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could slap his daughter to wake her up.
Fiona's heart was filled with regret at the moment, but she still stubbornly stiffened her neck and resisted her father's authority without flinching:
"Heh... Father, do you think your daughter is a fool? After today, do I still have a future? Hasn't my future been arranged by you?"
As she spoke, Fiona pointed her finger at Jin Cheng, who was being comforted by her mother in a gentle voice, with disdain in her eyes.
The woman's regret came from her persistence in the family's honor. She couldn't let outsiders have any doubts about the family, but those people easily raised their behavior to the family level.
At least Fiona didn't care about her own reputation at all, but the family's honor was her...
"You... rebellious girl..." Staring fiercely at his daughter, Sebastian didn't even dare to insult her too loudly in this situation.
Fiona's tone was firm and powerful, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing the other party directly:
"... Don't you think he is a coward?"
After hearing this, Sebastian showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He shook his head slowly, as if he couldn't believe that this was what his daughter said.
His eyes were full of disappointment and pain, and something seemed to be broken in his heart.
The Earl turned back subconsciously and saw King Jarvan III with a furious face.
A sense of fear and uneasiness surged in his heart, and the words he wanted to use to defend his daughter who had behaved so outrageously were now nothing.
Sebastian's hands trembled, and his anger seemed to burn.
He laughed in anger and mocked his daughter loudly:
"Fiona! You want a duel, then! I'll duel with you! Duel Master, come and take it if you have the guts!"
"..." However, Fiona said nothing, and her eyes flashed with determination and determination.
She was wearing a noble white dress, but she reached out and tore off her white skirt without hesitation.
Under the long skirt, a pair of loose swordsman trousers were exposed, and she was wearing flat boots suitable for combat.
Her movements were crisp and clear, without any hesitation or fear, as if showing everyone her determination and courage.
This shows that this seemingly sudden challenge was premeditated.
"Heh...haha..."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Sebastian's mouth, and his laughter was mixed with uncontrollable anger and sarcasm.
He was known as "Eagle Eyes" and thought he was insightful about the world, but he didn't see through his daughter's true thoughts, and he was complacently thinking that he had already controlled the overall situation.
On this high platform, the duel master of the Laurent family did not hesitate at all, and decisively stretched out his hand to signal the servant to fetch his sword.
At the same time, the young daughter turned and ran away.
When Fiona appeared again, her gorgeous wedding dress had been removed, and in her powerful hands she held a simple steel sword.
She was dressed as a duelist.
The scene was even full of gunpowder.
It was even to the point where there was noThe situation could not be mediated.
So much so that His Majesty the King had to come out to persuade:
"Okay, Sebastian, on a day like this, let's not dwell on this matter anymore. Your daughter's words before were obviously just some jokes."
To be honest, the nobles all knew that it was no joke.
After all, the bride had already changed into a swordsman's outfit suitable for dueling, how could this be a simple joke?
"Your Majesty, everyone, this is obviously just a family matter of our Laurent family.
And I, Sebastian Laurent, in the name of the head of the Laurent family, will judge and solve this family matter. Is there any problem?"
For the sake of the family's reputation, Sebastian even turned around and respectfully rejected the king's intervention. He was determined to characterize this embarrassing matter as a family matter to minimize the impact of this matter on the Laurent family.
There was firmness and determination in his words, as if he was announcing to the whole world his persistence in the glory of the family.
But isn't that the case?
It is in this kind of stubborn obsession with honor that the nobles of Demacia can fight against the fearless Noxians.
The king showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he also understood that forcibly intervening at this time would only make things more complicated.
So he quietly stepped aside, his eyes showing respect and understanding for Sebastian.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense and solemn, and the nobles whispered to each other, all of them were paying attention to how this family dispute would end.
Sebastian's eyes swept over the crowd, he felt their doubts and expectations, but he had only one belief in his heart - to protect the honor of the family.
