The personal summons of the king of a country usually gives the impression that it is conducted in an audience hall with a throne.
However, in fact, the audience hall of the palace is not the kind of place where you can casually meet with others, talk or even discuss important matters.
The audience hall is more like places like churches and auditoriums in previous lives. It will only be used in very formal occasions with clear process arrangements, such as celebrations.
Therefore, the audience hall of the palace is usually only open when formal ceremonial celebrations such as knighting ceremonies, investiture ceremonies, inheritance ceremonies, and announcement ceremonies need to be held, and is not usually open to the public.
Summons from the king himself, discussions of important matters with important ministers, and meetings with important figures, etc., will be held in another place.
It is called the King's Room, where the king conducts his business, similar to the king's exclusive conference room and office.
Compared with the meeting room, the utilization rate between the king room and the meeting room is the highest.
Therefore, the place where Li Ge, Yuli, and Marilyn are about to go is the King's Palace where the King's office is located.
However, their arrival received secret attention from many people.
Among them are some people who don't welcome them very much.
"Hey? Isn't this Mr. Franzel?"
Just when Li Ge and others entered a corner, as if they were deliberately waiting for their arrival, a person made a sneer-like voice, causing Li Ge and Yuli to stop.
It was a man who was dressed up brightly, with a sword as gorgeous as a work of art on his waist, and accompanied by two knights who exuded extraordinary momentum. He looked good, but his face was full of unpleasant sneers.
's youth.
The young man is about 20 years old, older than both Lige and Yuli. He is not tall, but he is very tall, nearly two meters tall, making anyone who is close to him involuntarily look up at him.
I was also looking at everyone with a downward gaze, feeling aloof and domineering.
Seeing this person, Yuli's face suddenly turned cold, and even Marilyn became expressionless and lost all reactions.
The other party, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it and came forward.
"What?" The other party still had the same sneer look, looking at Yuli condescendingly, and said: "Don't you need to greet me when you see me? Marquis Franzel?"
Hearing this, Yuli raised her eyes, glanced at the other party, and then spoke calmly.
"Met Prince Thorok."
Yuli said this greeting with no emotion at all, let alone any etiquette.
However, Yuli's words made Li Ge on the side turn his attention to the other party.
"Is it him?"
Li Ge glanced at the domineering prince, and then withdrew his gaze, as if he had lost interest in him.
Of course, only Lige himself knows whether this is the case.
There seemed to be no presence of Li Ge in Sorok's eyes, and even Marilyn was ignored by him.
He just looked at Yuli, his sneer expression did not change from beginning to end.
"You're back after all. I thought you really didn't care about the royal capital." Sorok said sarcastically: "That's right. A high-ranking strategic magician who stays in such a border area is really a bit unworthy of his talents.
Well, the royal capital must be a more suitable place for you to show off your talents, right?"
"What do you want to say, Your Highness?" Youli said expressionlessly: "Please speak directly. If you beat around the bush like this, the words you can understand will become incomprehensible."
"Don't you understand?" Sorok laughed loudly and said, "Then I'll talk to you in a way you can understand."
As he spoke, Sorok put his face in front of Yuli's, staring at her delicate face, and his voice began to become dangerous.
"Thanks to you, many of the things I wanted to do were ruined. Not only was I grounded, but the command of the "Shadow" was also taken away. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
At this moment, the face and voice of Prince Sorok gave the impression that he did not look like a noble royal child, but like a fierce desperado.
It seemed as if it could pounce at any moment and bite someone's throat, and it exuded a sense of ferocity and aggression.
"Mad dog."
This is Yuli's previous evaluation of the third prince Sorok.
Now, Li Ge finally knew why His Highness the Prince received such an evaluation.
If it were a timid person, his legs would have gone weak if he was spoken to so harshly, let alone a normal conversation.
Unfortunately, Yuli is not that person.
"——Stay away from me."
Yuri actually spoke such cold and merciless words to His Royal Highness, who was very close at hand.
"Oh?" Sorok raised his eyebrows. Not only did he not stay away, he sneered and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly!"
Sorok, who said such words, actually moved closer as if to hear Yuli's voice clearly.
From the perspective of others, he looked as if he was planning to reach up to Yuli's face and lick her.
In fact, Sorok seems to be planning to do just that.
The proof is that his tongue has been stretched out and he can lick Yuli's face at any time.
then……
"Whoa!"
Following a flash of cold light, a slender short sword like a double sword suddenly penetrated Sorok at an extremely fast speed.
It's Marilyn.
Marilyn, take action.
“…………!”
Sorok reacted immediately and retreated abruptly, showing a speed that was completely inconsistent with that tall figure. He distanced himself in one breath and avoided the dagger penetrating towards him.
"Hang!"
At this time, the two knights beside Sorok also drew their swords and rushed towards Marilyn without saying a word.
Their speeds were also extremely fast, and their movements were very fierce. They charged the moment they drew their swords, and in the blink of an eye they were in front of Marilyn. One slashed at her sword-holding hand, and the other slashed at her non-sword-holding hand.
Right hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the movements and slashes, these two people are obviously at the level of full swordsmen.
"Qiang!"
Marilyn remained calm in the face of danger. She flipped and turned the hand holding the sword, and with a flash of sword light, she deflected the sword that was directed at this hand, forcing one of the knights to retreat.
But the other knight's slash had already arrived and was about to land on Marilyn's free hand.
Then……
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the knight who was about to hit Marilyn was kicked away and hit the wall next to the corridor heavily.
The person who took action was naturally Li Ge.
"Um?"
Sorok seemed to have just discovered Li Ge's existence. Looking at the man who kicked his guard away with a calm expression, he was slightly startled, then remembered something and narrowed his eyes.
One of his two knights regrouped and the other climbed up from the ground, preparing to attack again.
Seeing this, Sorok spoke up.
"return."
The cold voice caused the two knights to freeze their bodies as they prepared to attack. They sheathed their swords and silently returned to Sorok's side.
They looked like two ruthless executioners rather than two noble knights.
Sorok ignored these two subordinates and glanced at Yuli, Marilyn and Li Ge in turn.
"So you're here too?"
Sorok looked at Marilyn and actually talked to her.
However, his attitude was very bad, full of not only contempt but also disdain.
"You dare to attack me? Do you think you are still the same person you were before?"
Sorok looked at Marilyn as if he were looking at something dirty or something unsightly.
Marilyn ignored him and returned to Yuli with an indifferent expression.
Sorok no longer paid attention to Marilyn, but turned to look at Li Ge.
"Are you Li Ge Brighaut? The rumored senior swordsman and tactical magician?" Sorok grinned and said: "You are so young. You are obviously younger than me, but you are the same as me.
A true swordsman, and even a tactical-level magician, you are not trying to trick people, are you?"
The words of His Highness the Prince were full of slanderous malice.
In this regard, Li Ge just said calmly.
"Whether I have real materials or not, hasn't the "Shadow" sent by His Highness the Prince already proved it?"
Upon hearing this, Sorok seemed to sneer.
"Who knows?"
After his speech of unclear meaning, Sorok came to Yuri again as if nothing had happened.
"This is just a warning." Sorok lowered his voice and said coldly to Yuli: "Since I don't want to take sides, then just be your spectator."
"If it weren't for the fact that you are a strategic magician and a good war tool for this country that will belong to me sooner or later, based on what you did last time, I wouldn't have made it easy for you."
"Remember, stay out of my business from now on."
With these words behind him, Sorok led two knights, ignoring Yuli who had a cold face there, passed them by, and came to Li Ge.
"You have to remember this, kid." Sorok looked at Lige and said with a smile: "Never stand in the wrong team in the future."
After saying that, Sorok left.
Yuli and Marilyn both showed cold expressions, looking at Sorok very much like before, as if they were looking at something dirty.
Li Ge, the client who was once targeted by Sorok and almost lost his life, was actually very calm and calm.
"I see. Is this the notorious third prince?" Li Ge said calmly, "He is indeed not a good person."
"Leave him alone." Youli said coldly: "He is just a mad dog. He bites people when he catches them. Someone will deal with him."
It can be seen that Yuli is very disgusted with this so-called third prince.
Not to mention Yuri, even Marilyn couldn't help showing a look of disgust.
"Let's go and see His Majesty."
Yuli said to Li Ge as if she wanted to forget this person.
Li Ge nodded and left with Yuli, but his eyes glanced behind him.
