Werther led everyone to build the defense tower in an orderly manner. On the other side, the letter written by Werther was finally sent to the palace.
The king was sitting on the throne at this time, wearing a pure gold crown inlaid with rubies and sapphires. He was wearing extremely exquisite clothes and a robe woven with gold and silver threads. He was holding a document in his left hand and a very large document in his right hand.
A large quill pen. He frowned, his brown eyes carefully read the words on the document, and poked his brown hair with a feather from time to time.
"Oh, this document is too difficult to think about. Let's leave it to Duke Darke to think about, although he most likely doesn't know how to solve it. Then I will look at other documents." The king put down the piece of paper in his hand.
, took another one and started reading.
The guard at the door ran in in a panic, handed a letter to the king's personal servant, and whispered a few words in his ear.
When the servant listened, his eyes widened in shock at first, and then his expression quickly returned to calm. When the guard finished speaking, the servant nodded to him and signaled that he could go out.
After the guards left, the servant looked at the envelope, sighed, walked slowly to the king's throne, and called softly at the bottom of the steps: "Your Majesty."
The king raised his eyelids, stared at the servant, and asked calmly: "Mel, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, this is..." The servant held the envelope with both hands, looked down, and curled his lips, showing a troubled expression.
"Any letter?" asked the king.
The servant didn't speak, just nodded.
A look of anger appeared on the king's face: "Isn't it just an ordinary letter? What are you hesitating about?"
The servant's expression became even more ugly. He handed over the envelope and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's a letter from the eldest prince."
Hearing this, the king was very surprised, a little uneasy, and said: "When he was in the palace before, he knew that I didn't want to see him, and he wouldn't ask me for anything. Now that he's in Dawn Town, how could he think of writing to me?
?”
Obviously, as a prince, Werther was too unpopular in the palace because the king was jealous of him and others were afraid to mention him in front of the king. In addition to taking taxes from him, the king did not want to have too much with him.
intersection of.
The king took the letter and made a swallowing gesture: "Isn't it filled with words that curse me?"
He stared at Werther's name on the envelope for a long time, then took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat. After taking a deep breath, he threw the envelope to the servant and said angrily: "This guy Werther may write very terrible things."
Come on, read it to me, louder."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The servant opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. He took a breath of surprise and ran to the door. He smiled at the guards and closed the door. After he returned to the king, he said: "Your Majesty, just now I
After seeing the above content, it is too secretive and cannot be known to too many people.”
"It's just you and me now, so you can read it with confidence."
Next, the servant read all the contents of the letter to the king.
The king dragged his chin with one hand and tapped impatiently on the armrest of the throne with the other hand. With anger in his eyes, he listened to the servant read the contents of the letter.
"Your Majesty," the servant said, "it turns out that the eldest prince didn't mean to scold you at all. He still respects you very much. We wrongly blamed him. He cares about the country of Notland and you. He is a very good lord.
.”
"What are you talking about!" The king slammed the table angrily
, stood up and roared, "He clearly told me in the letter that he wanted to borrow troops. Do you understand borrowing troops? His sudden borrowing of troops is probably to rebel against me. Is this the sign of a good lord and a good son?"
?”
"But the reason why the eldest prince wants to borrow troops is because the vampires are going to attack Dawn Town. He has already written it very clearly in the letter."
"You bastard! You actually said that the vampires are going to attack us humans? You actually believe Werther's lies!" The king's voice was full of doubt, and he looked at the poor servant fiercely with bloodshot eyes, "The vampires are no longer bothering us.
The Kingdom of Notland has been in the country for many years. For so many years, there has been peace and harmony between the Kingdom of Notland and the Kingdom of Bruding."
"But Your Majesty, many years ago, didn't the Brudin Kingdom often provoke us, the Notland Kingdom? This shows that they may provoke us again."
"That was a very old time, and now the king of Brudin is kind."
"Now the vampire king is very kind, but the vampire prince may not be kind, Your Majesty."
"As for the vampire prince, I have seen him before, and he is definitely not a vampire who would attack humans. In short, I don't believe what Werther says, let alone lend him troops. Please help me write a letter to refuse Werther."
"But, Your Majesty, if the vampires really attack, there are only eleven knights in Daybreak Town, so they can't win at all. Once Daybreak Town is breached, other territories will be in danger." The servant advised, "What's more,
The eldest prince wants to borrow your trusted soldiers, and your trusted soldiers are loyal to you. Even if they go to Dawn Town, they will not rebel with the eldest prince."
There was suspicion in the king's eyes, and he asked the servant: "It's strange, why are you talking to Werther? Isn't it because you have some collusion with him?"
The servant panicked and said: "Your Majesty is aware that I don't have any bad thoughts against you. When the eldest prince lived in the palace, I rarely talked to him. I don't even know his preferences, so how could I collude with him.
I just think that the eldest prince did not lie to you. If he really wanted to borrow troops to rebel, he would not specifically mention your trusted soldiers in the letter."
The king leaned his body on the back of the chair, thought for a while, and said: "Mair, your analysis makes sense. If you think about it carefully, he does not seem to want to rebel. However, I still have to discuss it with the commander of the guards.
In a moment, you inform the guards at the door and ask them to call Niklos."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, the guard at the door loudly said: "The guard ordered Nicholas to meet the king."
"Greetings to your majesty. Why did your majesty come to see me today?" Jacob saluted respectfully.
The king handed Werther's letter to him and said: "Nicholas, do you think I can borrow troops? To be honest, I have always had a grudge against Werther and can't believe his character. I'm afraid one day
He will avenge the Majik family and lead his troops to force the palace to drive me off the throne."
The commander of the guards smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. Since the eldest prince became the lord, I have been in contact with him twice. Although I can't say that I know him well, I don't think he has anything.
Insidious thoughts. What's more, your trusted soldiers will not betray you. I trust the eldest prince. For the safety of Notland, you should lend him troops."
The king thought for a while and then said: "Since you all think that I can borrow troops, then so be it, Niklos, you can handle the matter of borrowing troops."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"I also want to inform Duke Dark and ask him to work with you. Maier,
Ask the guard at the door to inform Duke Dark."
A strange look flashed across the face of the guard commander. He knew that once Duke Dark was involved in this matter, it would be difficult for Werther to borrow troops. But he did not dare to stop the king's order now.
After a while, the guard at the door said: "Duke Dark meets the king!"
Duke Duke walked in and saluted respectfully. The king informed him about the borrowing of troops. His expression immediately turned sinister and he said, "Your Majesty, you are asking for trouble."
"Oh? What do you mean?" The king looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Duke Dark said seriously: "The eldest prince has always been resentful towards you. How could he not have any thoughts of rebellion? Not to mention that it is impossible for the vampires to attack Xiaoxiao Town. Even if it is true, the eldest prince will turn your soldiers into
Become his own soldiers. I'm afraid the eldest prince will lead your soldiers into the palace!"
The king looked very confused and asked: "But the soldiers I lent him were my trusted soldiers, and those soldiers were extremely loyal. For example, the palace guards, you have seen how loyal they are, why do you say they followed Werther?"
Just betray me?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is really insidious. He has various ways to turn your cronies into his own confidants. Maybe he will use methods that you can't think of." Duke Dark said plausibly.
The king's face gradually turned frightened: "If this is the case, then wouldn't it be too dangerous for me to borrow troops?"
The guard commander hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, resisting the vampires is the most important thing. I hope you will lend troops to Dawn Town. If you are worried, I can go to Dawn Town with you and guarantee to bring all your soldiers back."
The king looked at the commander of the guards and nodded: "I'm still very relieved about you. Why don't I borrow some troops?"
Duke Dark looked at the commander of the guards insidiously and said, "How can you guarantee that you will not be deceived by the eldest prince? You have never seen his cunning."
"I can't prove it, but we have to resist the vampire's attack!"
"Do you really believe that the Vampires will attack Dawn Town?" Duke Dark sneered, "This is simply impossible to happen. The eldest prince said without any basis that the Vampires would attack Dawn Town, and you believed it, then you really
Not suitable to be a guard commander."
"You..." The guard commander was so angry that Duke Dark didn't know what to say.
"Okay, stop talking. I already have the answer in my heart. I still believe in the blood king and prince. They will not send troops to attack human territory. In order to prevent any possibility of Witte's rebellion, I will not lend troops either. You
You two, go back! Maier, take me back to the dormitory."
"Yes, Your Highness." The servant helped the king stand up from the throne.
The king looked at the commander of the guards and Duke Duke and said, "Aren't you going back?"
Seeing the king's determination, the commander of the guards did not dare to say anything. Duke Dark showed a proud smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, please retire."
After the two saluted the king, they left the palace. Duke Dark cast a vicious look at the commander of the guards. He always knew that the commander of the guards was only loyal to the king and not biased towards anyone else, but he did not expect that the commander of the guards would help him both times.
Duke Witte Dark thought to himself that he would have to be careful about Niklos in the future.
The commander of the guards was also thinking in his mind that he might have gone against Duke Dark today, so it would be better not to be too blatant in the future, lest he deal with him.
