Chapter 170: Rude Person

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"You will become a great monarch." Garth said to the man in the mirror, "Beyond your father, you can do better than him."

After speaking, Garth took the noble hat and cane handed by the maid and strode out the door.

He has made all preparations and can't wait to start a new era.

Garth first left King's Landing Tower through the side door, then walked around to the front, and walked in again surrounded by the Kingsguard, swearing that the castle was his.

As his figure appeared outside the palace, the invited guests applauded and cheered.

Garth's eyes moved around the hall, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces. He paid special attention to his two younger brothers.

Claudio and Allister, standing in front of the crowd, lowered their heads to show their submission after seeing him.

Gals also saw his wife and shed tears of excitement.

Garth smiled at her and looked away. This time his eyes fell on the bone throne at the other end of the hall.

A look of eagerness flashed in his eyes, and then he no longer hesitated and took steps towards there.

Gals still remembered that when he was a child, he and Claudio played in front of that chair. Claudio encouraged him to climb up and take a look. As a result, he was hit by Duren outside the door. He told Edward II and was beaten.

.

At that time, Gals didn't actually find this gloomy-looking chair interesting, and it even hurt his buttocks to sit on it.

But now of course he no longer thinks so, and at the same time he understands why he was beaten when he was a child.

This is his seat, which belongs to him alone. No one can touch it until his death, not even his close relatives who share the same bloodline with him.

Gals thought so and walked to the bone throne.

In full view of everyone, he sat down.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and then the cheers in the hall became more and more enthusiastic.

Gals sat upright on the bone throne, like a young lion, and his every move was full of majesty.

Miss Rabbit also felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. It was not as suffocating as when facing the bear of the earth, but it was more terrifying.

For the first time in her life, the female lord felt the huge changes that power brings to a person's temperament.

When she met Garth just a few days ago, she didn't feel much at all. The first heir to the empire behaved respectfully in front of her father, giving the impression that he didn't even have any presence.

But now it's like he has become a completely different person.

The eldest member of the Vespasian family is Jerome the Good Luck. He is already 312 years old. His eyesight is dim and his ears are not working properly. He needs help when he walks in the last year.

After only standing for a short while, he began to gasp for breath. Gals was afraid that he would suddenly fall to the ground and die in the middle of the ceremony.

Finance Minister Silen supported him and moved step by step to the stone steps. However, after only a dozen steps, Jerome had not arrived after walking for a while, which made many guests present a little impatient.

Garth also felt that his great-uncle was moving too slowly, and was thinking about asking someone to help him again.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the hall, and then Du Lun, the captain of the Royal Guards, walked in from the door.

Garth frowned and said with some displeasure, "You're late, Sir Duran."

"Sorry, Your Highness, I have been busy investigating your Majesty's assassination these days."

The words of the captain of the royal guard made Garth feel a little uncomfortable, especially the name Duren called him. Although strictly speaking, as long as Garth has not put on the crown and received the family sword, he is not considered a new member of the empire.

emperor.

But he was already sitting on the Bone Throne, and no one called him "His Royal Highness" anymore.

But today was a good day for his coronation, and Garth couldn't get upset over such a trivial matter, so he just nodded and said, "Then you can find a place to stay."

However, after hearing his words, Du Lun did not step aside, but instead took two steps forward.

"Your Highness, I have something urgent to report."

Garth almost blurted out, "What could be more important today than my coronation? Didn't you even wink?"

But in the end, he held it back and just said coldly, "Wait a minute."

"I didn't mean to interrupt your ceremony, but this matter is really urgent and I must say it now." Duren continued.

Garth's face darkened.

At the same time, other guests around him also smelled something unusual.

"Guards, drive this disrespectful person out of my castle!"

Garth decided not to talk nonsense and directly drove away the annoying guy in front of him.

However, the guards around him were hesitant when they heard this. Du Lun had been the captain of the Royal Guard for decades, and these guards were all his subordinates.

If Gars has become the new emperor, they naturally cannot disobey Gars's orders, but the coronation ceremony has not yet been completed, and Duren has not resigned from his position yet.

Facing the remaining power of Du Lun, they didn't know what to do for a while.

Garth was very angry and made up his mind to change all the Kingsguard in the future.

"Your Highness, please listen to what I'm going to say next before chasing me away." Before Gals could answer, Du Lun said in a deep voice, "I have found the murderer who poisoned Your Majesty."

The second half of his sentence caused an uproar.

Although the crowning of the new emperor was what the nobles in the royal capital were most concerned about during this period, the death of Edward II was also not forgotten.

As the only emperor in the empire to be poisoned in hundreds of years, it was obvious that he could not die in such an unknown manner.

Finding the murderer is also something that everyone expects, but most people thought that the investigation would last for a while, but they didn't expect that Du Lun found the murderer so quickly.

When the captain of the royal guard mentioned this matter, Garth had no choice but to chase him away, otherwise it would appear that he only wanted to be the emperor and was indifferent to his father's death, which would damage his reputation.

So Gals could only follow Duren's words and ask, "Who is the murderer?"

Du Lun did not answer immediately, but just said, "After I started the investigation, I first interrogated His Majesty's sommelier Wade, but he was not responsible for the poison, and he was very sure that he did not see any suspicious people around that day.

.

"It wasn't just him, many people in the stands at the time could testify that they didn't see any strange people approaching the jug."

"Let's get to the point." Garth was a little impatient.

Duren raised his head and said, "This means that the poison must have been administered by someone close to His Majesty. It is impossible for Walder to hold the wine in his hand all the time. In fact, the pot of wine was placed on the table next to him most of the time.

"Ward's eyes will not always be on the jug. He will only become alert when someone who feels threatened approaches the jug."
