It is said that antelopes can sense danger in advance.
Kieran is not an antelope, but he obviously has similar abilities.
After Redio said the oracle to Solomon that no one would know in future generations, Kieran had a feeling in his heart that the situation was not good.
He didn't expect that the young warrior, who looked a bit gloomy and had a mean smile, was really world-weary and felt that he had had enough life, so he actually ran in front of Solomon to provoke the Wing Clan commander.
If he had known he was going to do something like this, Kieran would have stopped him no matter what.
But now it's too late to talk about this kind of thing. Although Kieran had sworn to Solomon early in the morning that he had no contact with Shuangxiujiao, it was Redio who suddenly came to him and asked him to do a small favor for the sake of his past friendship.
, arrange this meeting.
But after spending so much time with Solomon, Kieran knows very well what kind of person this Wing Clan commander is. Once he starts to doubt you, even without any evidence, he will never reuse you again.
After all, the last thing Solomon lacked was dogs. Ever since he captured Lionheart Castle and killed Garth, there was an endless stream of imperial nobles who came to seek refuge with him.
And once you lose Solomon's trust, it is not just as simple as being squeezed out of the center of power, but it is often accompanied by other dangers and even losing your life.
So after that night, Kieran had already moved on.
In comparison, Silver Hand was much slower. Although he was also scared, after waiting for a month and seeing that Solomon didn't make any move, he gradually felt relieved.
He was surprised to hear that Kieran planned to leave Lionheart Castle.
"Aren't you going to continue to be the imperial minister?"
As the hottest rising political star in the capital during this period, Silverhand tasted the taste of power for the first time. The taste was so sweet that it was more unforgettable than the girl's lips.
Suddenly hearing that he was leaving the royal capital, Yin Shou was a little reluctant, but he quickly thought of something again and showed a look of surprise.
"Do you want to go back to the territory to take a look? That's right. We are all nobles now, but we haven't inspected the territory yet. We can't let the people below steal all the money."
Kieran heard this but shook his head and said, "I will not return to my own territory."
"Then...you want to go to my place first?"
"I'm even less interested in your territory."
"Then where exactly are you going?"
"Northern Territory." Kieran said two words softly.
"Northern Territory?" Silver Hand was stunned, "Well, why are you suddenly going to the Northern Territory? Isn't that the enemy's territory?"
Jilan glanced at him, "Enemy? You have only been a noble for a few days, and you have already tied yourself to those Wing Tribe people."
"Is there any problem with this?" Silver Hand was puzzled, and then said, "Of course I know that we are not one of those Wing Clan people, but you have to admit that Solomon is pretty good to us.
"He gave us titles, land, and a lot of wealth that I couldn't even imagine before. Now we go out by carriage and live in a mansion, and no one calls you the golden voice and me the silver hand anymore.
, they all call us... adults now.
"Sir, I have never noticed that these two words are so pleasant to the ears before. I know that you are still a believer in Shuangxiu Cult, and so am I, but even Merlin didn't offer me such a good offer.
"And we all introduced the boy named Redio to Solomon. We also took a lot of risks on this matter. We are already very competent. Wait, you said you were going to the North, not the West.
?”
"Nonsense, there is going to be a war in the Western Region. Who would go to the Western Region at this time?" Kieran said calmly.
"Alister? Really, do you like that kid?"
"Not optimistic, but we don't have a choice now, right? At least the environment in the north is such that even if Solomon is determined to fight, he won't be able to win it within a few years."
"But why do you have to leave?"
"You can stay if you want to, as long as you're not afraid of losing your head."
Silverhand finally woke up a little at this time and frowned, "Do you think Solomon has murderous intentions towards us? He knows that we sent the information to Green Field behind his back?"
"Yes, Rediosius has been arrested. He is likely to reveal his relationship with us, so should we..." Silver Hand made a motion of wiping his neck.
Kieran laughed angrily at him, "Didn't you hear that Solomon wants to keep him in exchange for Lanita? It's not that easy for you to kill him, and do you know where to find a professional killer?"
"I don't know, I was just a bard before."
"That's alright, and I think I need to remind you again, don't mess with Shuangxiujiao. No matter when, Merlin and Saturday are hundreds of times more powerful than those described in those poems. I have a hunch that Solomon will
You may not be able to eat good fruit."
"Then we still want to leave?" Silver Hand still couldn't bear to part with the luxurious life in Lionheart Castle, and the territory that he still hadn't warmed up.
"We have to leave." Kieran said. "It's hard to say whether Solomon will win. If he loses, he will definitely take his anger out on us when he comes back. But it's not easy to leave the city now. In the past few months, we have
It’s better to pretend that nothing happened and let everything continue as usual.”
Silver Hand nodded, and then thought of another thing, "Do you think Lord Solomon will take us to the West before the war begins? Or at least take you with him. He doesn't like to take you with him in everything during this period.
."
"No." Kieran said firmly, "As I said, he has lost trust in us."
Silverhand still didn't believe it, but he didn't expect that Solomon really didn't take them two with him when he led his army on an expedition two months later.
Silverhand was finally convinced and determined to escape with Kieran.
Kieran randomly found a way to go out of the city for business. Afterwards, the two people, who had changed into civilian clothes, took advantage of the night and got into the woods, but let the carriage continue to move forward, attracting the attention of possible stalkers, and finally successfully escaped.
Until Lionheart Castle could no longer be seen, Yin Shou kept looking back, his eyes full of reluctance.
He sighed with emotion, "Well, I finally got a taste of being a noble, and now I've been knocked back to my original shape. Fortunately, I brought a lot of gold out, so my hard work is not in vain."
"Who said we are civilians?" Kieran said.
"Do you think Allister will recognize Solomon's reward?" Silverhand didn't believe it.
"Why don't you admit it?" Kieran asked, "We gave up the land and title that Solomon gave us and traveled thousands of miles to join him. If Allister is not stupid, he should double the supply for us, so as to show that he is the king.
His posture can also tell other nobles that joining him is the right choice."
Seeing that Silver Hand was still a little confused, Kieran patiently explained, "Solomon has lost trust in us and has murderous intentions towards us. Allister doesn't know. In the eyes of him and others, we are Solomon."
His confidant, the rising political star of Lionheart Castle.
"So of course Allister will accept us in this capacity. Don't worry, you will not lose your noble title and you will have land. Although it may be just a promise at this stage, the money will definitely not be less."
"That's okay." Silver Hand was convinced.
Kieran hadn't finished speaking yet, "When we reach the North and gain a firm foothold by Allister's side, we can continue to think of ways to send intelligence to the Green Fields, if the Western Territory is not swallowed up by Solomon."
At this time, Yin Shou was already slumped to the ground and could no longer be convinced.
"Anyway, no matter who wins in the end, we will definitely not lose." Kieran said leisurely.
This is indeed the case. The bard was warmly welcomed as soon as he arrived in the north, and a year later he successfully married the daughter of the late Emperor Garth.
And because of his outstanding performance in the subsequent Unification War, he assisted Queen Victoria's army to regain the Northern Territory without bloodshed, and eventually became the new Duke of the Northern Territory.
