The dinner was filled with singing and dancing. There were many beauties dancing, but the food was much less delicious. There were only about a dozen ministers attending the banquet. The venue was not the lobby of the palace, but a living room for receptions.
Leer wiped her mouth gently with a white handkerchief, paying attention to various abnormalities and the king's actions.
I'm afraid her initial guess was correct. King Kingsley VII has lost his real power. Could it be that the empire has been occupied by rebels? The king is just a facade? But the rebels can obviously overthrow everything and build an empire of their own.
The kingdom is not bound by the previous regulations, and there is no need to keep this king no matter what.
Just as she was thinking, the king suddenly raised his head and asked: "Hey, Mr. Vice President, are you satisfied with your meal? If not, I can ask the cook to cook it for you..."
"I'm very satisfied, thank you, Your Majesty the King."
Rael interrupted him, and the latter was not angry about it, only happy.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. Some unpleasant things have happened in this short period of time. I don't want you to be affected by these things."
The king smiled, as if there was something in his words.
"Oh? Is there anything that upsets you, Your Majesty the King?"
Leer asked deliberately. She showed great interest. The other party suddenly looked to the left and right and lowered his voice and said, "You must know about what our country has said some time ago, about the rebels."
"Yes, but I also heard that you successfully defeated them, which was quite heroic."
This compliment made the king smile, but it was not as ecstatic as Lele imagined. Instead, there was a bit of bitterness in the smile.
"Well, having said that, why didn't the union help us? Isn't our relationship worthy of your help?"
He changed the topic and opened the door to the mountain to ask. To be honest, Rael felt a little unprepared, but fortunately she had expected that he would ask such a question.
"Of course not. The Liska Empire is a very important partner of our union, and we will definitely not watch you perish. But you should also know that some... huge things happened to our union some time ago." Leer smiled.
He slowly disappeared, lowered his head and looked at the table.
"Oh, I know, I know, I feel very sorry for the passing of that adult. He was a very great person. Of course, I have also thought of this, so I will not blame you. It seems that you
That should be stable."
Rael couldn't feel the reverence for the God of War from him, and probably the same was true for most people.
"Well, the new president has worked hard, and the union has also recovered from its grief, so I rushed here as soon as possible. If you need help..."
"Need! Very much needed!"
Before Leer could speak, the king suddenly grabbed her hand in excitement and looked around with his eyes wide open like a thief, as if he was avoiding someone.
"Did you encounter any difficulties? I heard that your army defeated the rebels all the way. The war should be quelled soon."
"Sadly yes, but that's the problem!"
The king sighed, leaned a little closer, and said: "Master Vice President, I really need your help. My empire is out of control! That damn Eberron! And that hateful black knight! They forced
Me, threaten me! Make me have to obey them on some things."
He said through gritted teeth, but then looked around in fear, looking extremely funny.
Eberron? The only lord who supported the king?
And the Black Knight?
Leer frowned slightly, it seemed that this was not an ordinary regent, there seemed to be something hidden.
"So, what you are saying is...this Eberron is a traitor?"
she asked with a frown.
"Of course! He was sent by the devil! Damn it, his army is terrifyingly powerful. You should really see how they dealt with those rebels. Now all the soldiers in the city have been replaced by them..."
Just as the king was complaining, the door to the banquet suddenly opened with a bang, and a man wearing a top hat, a tuxedo, and a mustache appeared behind the door, accompanied by two guards.
"Your Majesty the King! I heard that the union's envoy is here, ah! It must be this beautiful lady. Hello, I am Eberron."
It turns out that this old man in his fifties or sixties is Eberron. He looks frail and looks like a businessman.
Leer smiled awkwardly. When he looked at the king, he found that he was shaking with anger and his face was red.
"Eberron! How dare you barge in! And! And! And you don't even salute me!"
"oh!"
Eberron smiled and let go.
"Look at me, I've forgotten. Hey, let's meet the king."
He knelt on the ground perfunctorily, but before Rael was sure whether his knee touched the ground, he stood up again.
"Okay, Your Majesty King, it's time for you to rest. Too much banquet is not good for your health."
Eberron said to the king. The king did not speak, but was breathing heavily, like an angry child, refusing to speak.
"Why don't you come and take the king back to his room! Do you want the king to get sick? Really!"
Eberron actually shouted such words, he was completely a successful villain.
The guards and ministers took action one after another. In less than a minute, there were only a few people left in the room. The king was reluctantly dragged away. Before leaving, he looked back at Rael and asked for help.
eyes.
Rael talked for a long time, it was really a farce.
She raised her head, looked at the Earl of Eberron, and asked: "So you are the one who is really in charge, right?"
Eberron didn't answer her question immediately. He looked at the table aside, picked up an apple, took a bite, and then threw it away.
"I won't answer your question, but you should know the answer. Come with me."
Leer and some of his envoys looked at each other, sensing the danger.
"You know we have the right to refuse your request, right? We can leave immediately."
"Of course! No one is forcing you, you can leave naturally if you want to."
Eberron spread his hands, then smiled and said, "But before you decide to leave, someone asked me to say a word to you."
Leer frowned and looked at the men beside her, becoming suspicious.
Eberron walked slowly towards her ear and said, "You came all the way, why don't you come to see me? Ally."
Hearing this, Rael was shocked, her eyes widened, and she looked at Eberron.
"Then it's up to you to decide whether you want to leave or come with me."
He said and walked towards the door.
Leer showed a shocked expression, but quickly covered it up.
"You guys go back first, I'll go take a look."
"But the vice president..."
"I'm fine. Don't forget that my magic has been praised by the God of War."
After saying that, she stood up, leaving a few union messengers behind, and followed Eberron out of the room.
