"Quint?" The second prince paused, then laughed out loud after a moment, "Haha, what do you think?"
"Your Highness, Second Prince, I'm not sure, so I'm asking you for the answer!" Nalant frowned slightly, mainly because Quint's death almost happened to him last time, so he wanted to ask clearly.
"Haha! I won't tell you, you can guess it yourself!" The second prince showed a joking smile, "By the way, Narant, don't think that you will be better off in the future because you have made a great contribution this time. I
Let me tell you, you and your territory may be destroyed in the near future!"
"Your Highness, Second Prince, do you think you can scare me with such a low-level lie?" Nalant said with disdain on his face.
"Haha! Narant, I'm not that good-for-nothing Byron. Your provocation method is of no use to me. However, I can explain to you the reason. That is, you have ruined the good deeds of the Freemasons. They will definitely look for you in the future.
Troublesome!"
"Really?" Nalant's eyes flashed and he continued: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, you have been in contact with the Freemasons for so long, can you tell me what skills they have? It can also help me take precautions!"
However, next, the second prince stopped talking.
The same goes for Bernard.
When the king saw this, he was taken away directly. As for how to punish this rebellious son in the future, it was up to the king himself.
He also did not announce it on the scene.
After the second prince was taken down, the traitorous Iron Guard Knight Commander and Guard Commander were also brought up for questioning.
They were not as tough as the second prince. After all, besides themselves, they also had family members in the royal capital.
Several people came to the foot of the high platform and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy. It was only their family members who asked the king to spare them.
In order to seek this favor, he answered all questions and told how he was bribed by the second prince.
In fact, although the second prince has been able to win over their people and make them close to the second prince since a few years ago, they have never dared to betray the king, so they were not considered the second prince's people at that time.
But the real choice of betrayal came after the Autumn Campaign.
After the Autumn Campaign, the second prince sent people to find them again, and immediately began to intimidate and induce them.
The second prince threatened the two that if they did not join him, they and their families would die.
However, if they are willing to obey his orders, then from now on, the commander-in-chief of the Agate Principality will be theirs.
In addition, the eldest prince gave them a magical potion that could quickly increase their fighting spirit.
In particular, the eldest prince promised Ladd that as long as he gets the throne, it will help Ladd break through and become the Golden Knight.
Rad was also very moved by this after taking the potion that increased fighting spirit. After all, the Agate Principality had never seen a golden knight other than the earl and the king.
And if he really breaks through and becomes a Golden Knight, his status in the future can be imagined.
As for whether the second prince's promise was false, he felt that it couldn't be false.
After all, the second prince himself is not a golden knight. If he wants to intimidate several earl families in the future, he will definitely need one or two high-end combat capabilities like them.
At least that was the case before the second prince became the Golden Knight.
After the two commanders asked, the general cause and process of the usurpation of the throne became clear. After the two commanders who were destined to be dead were taken away, the king looked at Baartman and Rakov.
What surprised Nalant was that the punishment of the two was much more severe than he imagined.
Because the king actually punished the two of them by confiscating their territory.
Among them, the Batman family was fined and confiscated an amount of face equivalent to two baronies.
As for Lakoff, it's even worse, with a land area the size of a viscounty.
Although the two earls looked ugly in response to such a punishment, they could only accept the punishment.
After all, this would not endanger their family's heritage, it would only weaken their strength.
Of course, there is punishment as well as reward. As the great hero tonight, the king looked directly at Narant.
"Narant, you made great achievements during the Autumn Campaign, and your achievements tonight are no less than those during the Autumn Campaign. Together, the two are unprecedented since the founding of the Agate Principality."
"Tell me what reward you want!"
"Too insincere?" Nalant secretly rolled his eyes. The king actually asked him to mention it. It felt very tricky.
He is not a vassal of the king, so he doesn't know what to get from the king.
The only thing that can be thought of is land, but this involves asking the king for land directly beyond Bernard. Not to mention whether this will offend Bernard, and it is hard to say whether the king will agree.
After thinking for a moment, Nalant thought it would be better to keep a low profile. After all, even if he didn't mention it, the king would definitely not miss out on his benefits in order to take care of the future.
Otherwise, who would be willing to work for him in the future?
"Your Majesty, everything I do is only for the sake of the principality. Although I am just a young knight, I understand a truth. There are no intact eggs under the nest. If I want to develop the territory stably, then the principality can only be stable.
It’s only possible under the circumstances!”
"So, I don't need any reward!"
"Oh?" The king looked surprised when he heard this.
When Bernard saw this, his eyes showed satisfaction.
"Haha! There are no intact eggs under the overturned nest. This sentence does make sense!" After a moment, the king shouted out. This was the first time he showed a smile after the rebellion.
"However, rewards are necessary, otherwise how can I, the king, convince my subordinates in the future?"
"Well, I heard Bernard say that you want to get a pioneering order, right?" The king looked at Narant.
"Uh..." Nalant choked suddenly, but he didn't expect Stella to actually tell Bernard for him.
And Bernard actually brought it up to the king.
"Yes...yes, Your Majesty!"
"Well, do you guys have any objections to this? Nalant wants a development order. He wants to open up the Fire Grassland!" The king looked at the other three earls. As for the attitudes of Batman and Lakoff, it was natural at this time.
It was ignored.
"Your Majesty, we have no objection!" Narante saved Bernard and the king, and also saved them and their heirs.
Moreover, the Fire Grassland is full of barbarians, and it is not completely different from their territory, so they will not say much.
In particular, the grasslands cannot be used to cultivate wheat, and they will not worry about the rise of Nalant in the future and overwhelm them.
"Very good. The pioneering order is your reward, Nalant. However, the term is only two years. Are you satisfied with it, Nalant?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King!"
Of course Nalant was satisfied. It was an unexpected surprise to get this development order.
As for the life limit of only two years, there is no way. If there is no restriction, then Narant will be paid.
Well, the development order basically has a time limit.
