Tail stood in the living room with his luggage on his back.
Reggie expected such a result, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"I'm sorry, sir, I tried hard, but I failed." Sitting in front of Reggie, Tyr drank a can of ale in one breath and said with red eyes, "You are a great lord, I respect you very much, I really
I want to follow you for the rest of my life, but I can't get along with the people around you."
"It doesn't matter, it's not your fault." Reggie brought another can of wine to Tyr.
Tyr took a sip of ale, ate a large piece of bacon, wiped his mouth and said, "Calaff is a good man, Natalie is a good girl, Camilla, and Dorothy, all of them are
Yes, Old Hill is also a good person. I don't want to hurt them, but I can't control myself. I also hate the Punishers. They have done many things that are worse than animals, and I don't want to become like them."
Reggie sighed and said, "But where can you go? The aliens will definitely look for a place where there are no Heavenly Punishers to survive. You can't avoid both the Heavenly Punishers and the aliens at the same time."
"I never thought about it," Tyr said with a depressed expression, "I just wanted to leave this place before making a mistake. To be honest, when I was in Zhilin City, I attacked Doranor several times.
I can't guarantee that I can control myself every time."
After finishing the second can of wine, Taylor was somewhat drunk.
"Sir, I have to leave. Thank you for your care and trust in me."
Reggie said: "Sleep one night here and set off again tomorrow morning."
"I can't sleep here," Tyr pointed to Reggie's study and said, "There is a wizard there. With him here, I really can't sleep. I couldn't sleep every night in Zhilin City."
The wizard he was talking about should be Bachelo. Reggie did not embarrass Tire anymore. He sent Tire to the city gate. When he was about to say goodbye, Reggie took out thirty gold coins.
"My friend, please accept a little bit of my thoughts."
"No need, sir," Tyr tried his best to restrain his tears. He didn't want to make the farewell too sad. "You have rewarded me with a total of more than forty gold coins. With this money, I am already a rich man."
"Take it," Reggie put the gold coin into Tyr's hand, "Besides the gold coin, I also want to give you a choice."
"Choose?" Tyr looked at Reggie in surprise.
"Yes, you can choose to leave Suixue City and find another place to settle down, or you can choose to stay in Suixue City. If you don't want to stay in the city, you can move outside the city to the north of the city... There is also a place to live, I
I can provide you with a house and some more land."
"North of the city?" Tyer's face darkened, "Sir, do you want me to live with slaves?"
"This is just a suggestion," Reggie smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."
"How can I pretend that you haven't said it?" Tyr still cried, "I would rather live with a slave than leave you!"
Tire changed his mind, and early the next morning, he packed his bags and moved to the slave settlement.
…
Two days before the New Year, Prince Charlemagne returned to the royal capital with his messengers. The king prepared a banquet and invited several prominent ministers to welcome his most beloved son.
The atmosphere of the banquet was a bit strange. The ministers were extremely careful when speaking, especially Prime Minister Spindu and Chief Bachelor Conrad. They had to look at the king's face every time they said a word.
There was also the Home Secretary Edmund, who seemed to have something to say, but was always distracted by others.
When the banquet lasted for almost an hour, the atmosphere had become very awkward. Everyone was eating in silence, and the only sound that could be heard in the hall was the clinking of tableware.
This made Charlemagne a little dissatisfied. This was obviously not the atmosphere that a welcome dinner should have.
The king didn't like this depression either, so he called the waiters and ordered the singers and dancers to perform for the entertainment.
But this perfunctory approach was not what the prince wanted. He stopped the waiter, looked at Edmund and said: "If anyone wants to talk, just say it. If this matter is against Zhilin City, I will also
I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions.”
Facing the prince's provocation, Edmund responded.
"Your Highness, I heard that you arrested Cassati, the leader of the Heavenly Punishers, and also put her on a public trial. I don't think this is wise..."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Spindu interrupted Edmund, "Your Majesty is already angry about this matter, how long are you going to persist?"
Just yesterday, the royal capital held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter. The Heavenly Punishers attacked Charlemagne's messenger. This incident made the king very angry, but Charlemagne arrested the leader of the Heavenly Punishers and massacred them.
He killed hundreds of Heavenly Punishers, which also made the king dissatisfied.
But no matter whether he was angry or dissatisfied, this matter still had no final conclusion. Right and wrong could not be investigated, but Edmund obviously had some different ideas about Cassati's handling.
"Your Highness, I feel that continuing to intensify conflicts is not a good choice. There is no need for us to destroy the peace of the kingdom for trivial matters."
"Trivial things?" Charlemagne sneered, "A group of extremely vicious thugs rushed at my messenger with black powder, burned all the food sent from Zhilin City, and killed six of my soldiers. What do you think?
Is this a trivial matter?"
Edmund shrugged and said: "I believe there must be some misunderstandings..."
"Now it's become a misunderstanding again?" Charlemagne's eyebrows rose. "If I had been at the scene that night, and if I was the one who was killed, could you have dismissed this matter with a misunderstanding?"
Edmund was sweating. In the past two months, he had grown a lot. He had learned how to win the king's support and also learned some cruel methods. However, in terms of talking, he was still beaten.
Charlemagne was completely devastated.
"This has happened. Your Highness, the people are stupid, a thousand times more stupid than we imagined. They have made stupid mistakes and paid the price for them. Your Highness, why can't you forgive them?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Tell me how to forgive them?" Charlemagne squinted at Edmund, "Do you want me to release Cassati now?"
"Uh..." Edmund didn't know how to express what he meant, so he decided to make some concessions, "If you want to kill Cassati, you can use a more secretive method, but if you choose a public trial, it will undoubtedly
It is a declaration of war against those who are punished by heaven.”
"I don't want to declare war on the Punishers, but I want to declare war on all the arrogant thugs. I want them to understand that there are many things in the kingdom that they are not allowed to invade!"
"They dare not offend you. Please believe me. There must be a misunderstanding."
"Don't you dare?" The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Twelve years ago, in the Lion City, this crazy woman killed my sister. A sister who was less than ten years old, do you think there is anything that they dare not do?"
"That's enough!" The king finally couldn't help but speak. There were some things that he couldn't mention in front of him, especially the death of his daughter. It was his pain and even more shame.
"I'm a little tired," the king stood up slowly, "you can continue eating, I'm going to rest."
The king left the banquet hall, and Charlemagne soon followed.
The people sitting next to Edmund left one after another, everyone wanted to keep some distance from him.
Spindu calmly finished the food on the plate, wiped his mouth, and said to Edmund: "I'm really curious, why do you want to protect a group of thugs?"
"I'm not protecting anyone, Prime Minister. I just want to handle this matter properly."
"Why do you oppose a public trial? I have heard some rumors. Some people say that Cassati was instructed by a minister in the royal capital to commit such a terrible crime. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Edmund gritted his teeth and said: "Prime Minister, do you want to frame me?"
"Don't worry about it, my friend," Spindu said with a smile, "I'm just reminding you that you have crossed the line in this matter. I hope you will behave yourself in the future."
…
Edmund was the last person to leave the banquet hall. Sitting in his carriage, he thought over Charlemagne's words again and again, and every word made him shudder.
Obviously, Prince Charlemagne understood the incident in Zhilin City as a premeditated attack or even an assassination operation. If this incident was really related to him, disaster would be waiting for him.
The carriage came to an alley, and Edmund asked the coachman to stop.
"You go back first, I want to go to the prince's castle alone."
The coachman asked in surprise: "Do you want to go there on foot?"
"I want to discuss something with Prince Charlemagne. Don't ask too many questions and leave quickly."
This coachman always asked endless questions, and Edmund always suspected that he was the king's spy.
After the coachman left, Edmund chose the most secluded path to the prince's castle.
Not Charlemagne's castle, but Chris's castle.
Chris is reading at night under the lamp. Reading is now his only way to pass the time.
Seeing Edmund's visit, Chris was a little surprised: "Minister of the Interior, you are so brave. You dare to come to the devil's lair. If my father finds out, he will demote you to a commoner tomorrow."
Listening to Chris's self-deprecating tone, Edmund smiled helplessly: "I bribed the guards with ten gold coins each. I believe His Majesty the King will not know about this."
"You're so generous," Chris laughed. "Why did you come to me? Want to see how a devil spends a long night?"
The sharp-tongued Chris has a really unlikable personality.
But it was fun to bicker with him, at least he wasn't as aggressive as Charlemagne.
"A night may not be that long, but if the kingdom falls into eternal night, we will all be in hell with endless repentance."
Chris frowned and said, "What happened?"
Edmund knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, the kingdom is facing danger, but too many people are unaware of the danger. I want to see if our devil prince still has the courage and determination to save the kingdom."
