Chapter 110 The Stubborn Noble and the Beautiful Bodyguard
Seeing that Annan didn't speak, the man chuckled. He stepped back, stood in a row with Annan, and patted Annan on the shoulder.
"Oh, don't be so serious, okay? Even if you don't say it, others will reveal it. Now that we've reached this point, don't hide it."
"What you said seems to make sense."
Annan touched his chin and said matter-of-factly: "Let's go find a quiet place, there are too many people here."
"I know there is a small storage room outside the banquet hall. Basically no one passes by. Let's go there."
The man's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
"Okay, let's go there." Annan nodded, "You will lead the way."
"Great, let's go now." The man clenched his fists excitedly and led Annan out of the banquet hall, grabbing a few bottles of wine as he passed the long table.
Before leaving, Annan touched Esdeath: "Together?"
"I won't go." Esdeath crossed his arms, stared at the screen, and shook his head, "A mercenary who is just doing nothing will probably not be able to get any useful information, so why not watch the show here for a while?
."
"Performance?" Annan glanced at the singing program being broadcast live on the screen.
Esdeath is not interested in music. Something else must have attracted her attention.
"Then I'll leave first. Remember to call me if you need anything."
After saying that, Annan followed the man and left the banquet hall.
After seeing the two people leave, Esdeath continued to stare at the screen with interest.
She was completely indifferent to the program above. What caught her attention was the giant human-shaped stone statue standing in the square. What made her even more interested was that the head of the stone statue moved slightly.
………………
In a small storage room.
"Come, let's talk while drinking." The man unscrewed the bottle cap excitedly and handed the wine to Annan, "By the way, my name is Barrow, and I am a mercenary. What do you call me?"
"Call it whatever you want," Annan said.
"That's right, you don't want to reveal your identity, otherwise why would you wear a mask?" Barrow chuckled, "I once heard someone say that the members of the World Government's CP organization like to wear masks, are you imitating them?
”
"Let me tell you, your mask can be taken off now. Is there anyone else here?" Barrow took a sip of wine and patted his chest, "I have a nickname in our mercenary group, it's called 'You can only get in but you can't get out'
', from the team leader to the busboy, if anyone in the team chats with me, I will not disclose the chat content to a third person."
"Forget it." Annan took the bottle, "It would be troublesome for my identity to be known."
"Hey, when you say that, I know your general identity." Barrow said with a smile.
"Really? I don't believe it."
"Hey, don't believe it." Barrow whispered to Annan, "Did I just say that I was a mercenary?"
"Yes." Annan nodded.
"Can mercenaries be invited by the king to the banquet hall of the palace castle?"
"It's not impossible." Annan said, "If you save the princess, the king will still invite you over."
"What princess? She's gone long ago," Barrow said.
"Put aside the situation you mentioned. As a rule, mercenaries like me are looked down upon by kings and nobles. But now, I am walking around freely in the palace of King Kunta. What does it mean?"
"It means you saved the princess." Annan smiled.
"Seeing how you pretend to be confused, I'd better make it clear."
Barrow looked disappointed and said to Annan:
"Actually, you are not the first. Most of the nobles in this kingdom have already taken refuge with the guard captain Barr, secretly or covertly. Now there are only a few old nobles left who are swaying around."
"..."
Seeing that Annan remained silent, Barrow continued: "Barr has mastered most of the power in this country. The old king has actually been ejected, and tonight is the moment when Barr ascends the throne and becomes the new king."
"And you." Barrow looked at Annan, "You are the few stubborn nobles. Now that Barr is about to succeed, hurry up and surrender."
"But fortunately, you have been approved by Barr, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter this banquet hall." Barrow said proudly, "Counting the time, Barr has already sent people to remove everyone except you.
All the stubborn nobles have been eliminated."
"Of course, including your beautiful bodyguard."
"Beauty...bodyguard?" Annan was stunned.
"Who is the girl who was chatting with you just now?" Barrow said, "Isn't she dressed like a female thug? What, at this time, are you still in the mood to take a female companion?"
"You're right." Annan didn't bother to explain, "I am indeed from the king's side."
"Look, I guessed it right." Barrow said with a smile, "Don't worry, since you can come here, it means that you are no longer a threat in Baal's eyes. After he becomes the king, I will take
My commission is gone, and you can continue to live your aristocratic life."
"Now, let's just wait and see this drama begin."
"Brother Barrow, I have a question." Annan couldn't help but ask, "The king also has heirs, and there are quite a few. Even if the king abdicates now, and the person who succeeds has royal blood, why can't he?
