Following the soldier's announcement, a young man was introduced to the Admiral's office. Admiral Penzance had already been waiting for the young man there, so when he walked in, the Admiral did not show a particularly surprised look.
.
"Your idea is so bold, Lord Admiral." After Arthur entered the room, he automatically closed the door, in order to prevent people outside the door from hearing their conversation: "You want me to see a crazy witch, let
What is the purpose of her talking nonsense to me?"
"Oh? Did the miko-sama talk nonsense to you? What did she tell you?" the admiral replied calmly.
"For example, I am a descendant of Edward." Arthur lowered his voice and said, "For example, you want me to take back the royal power that belongs to me."
"Oh, so interesting?"
Arthur took out a golden gorse pendant from his pocket, which was the token given to him by the witch.
"Oh------!" Admiral Penzance let out a low sigh of admiration: "The witch-sama once swore to protect this token with her life, and would never easily let it fall into the hands of someone who is not worthy of possessing it. Since
You have already obtained this token. It seems that your identity is indeed ------"
"Can't I kill the witch and get this token?" Arthur interrupted the other party.
"Huhuhu, you can't kill her, I'm sure of that." Admiral Penzance smiled calmly.
"So... what should we do next?" Arthur then asked, his voice lowered: "Do you want to kill ------ directly?"
"Wow!" At this moment, someone suddenly bumped in from the door, interrupting the conversation between Arthur and Admiral Penzance.
The intruder was a child of seven or eight years old. Arthur seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Oh, by the way, Arthur remembered. Didn't this kid want to "buy" the shell from Arthur before?
That kid from DeVille?
Why does this child appear in the admiral's castle? It seems that this kid should be the child of a certain noble, right?
"What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" Admiral Penzance stood up from his seat and asked the child.
(His Majesty?)
"Shh!" The child said nervously: "Miranda is forcing me to take a bath again. Admiral, is there a place where I can hide for a while? Hurry!"
"Huhuhu." The old man didn't say anything. He just smiled meaningfully and clicked on a hidden compartment next to his bookcase. The mechanism in the bookcase opened accordingly, and inside was a door just big enough to hide a person.
Small secret room.
"Thank you, I owe you." The kid immediately got into the secret room and hid, while Admiral Penzance also closed the bookcase mechanism and hid the child.
"Hmm------" Just at this moment, another middle-aged woman dressed as a lady came in from the door. She looked around as soon as she came in, but she quickly checked the whole room and was not rude immediately.
Jiadi bowed to Admiral Penzance: "Good evening, Admiral Penzance. Have you seen His Majesty? He obviously ran this way, but disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"
"He should have run towards the corridor opposite the office. There is a relatively secret staircase on the other side of the corridor that leads to the rooftop." Admiral Penzance said.
"I see, this castle is really a maze full of secrets." The woman bowed again, "I'm going to go look for it now. I'm sorry to bother you, Lord Admiral. Good night."
Then the woman turned around and went out. After walking gracefully for a short distance, she started to run quickly.
"Hmm..." Arthur couldn't help but hum: "Did you just say [Your Majesty]...?"
"Yes. Hiding here is His Majesty King Henry VI, the King of England." Admiral Penzance cast his eyes towards the bookcase, as if he was about to turn on the switch of the bookcase.
Arthur had already intercepted the admiral's movement and walked up quickly, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.
I have walked all over the place and found nowhere, but it takes no effort to get here!
The purpose of Arthur coming to England is for this little brat. As long as the current King of England is killed, the country will inevitably fall into turmoil, and then it will be unable to invade France. In this way, the Hundred Years War will be over.
Stop, and there is no need for Joan of Arc to continue leading the French resistance. She will be liberated from her own responsibilities.
In this way, Joan of Arc may be willing to go back with Arthur and return to Great Britain nine hundred years ago.
As long as this kid is killed, Arthur's journey will come to an end!
"Don't be excited, young man." However, Admiral Penzance held Arthur's palm with one hand and prevented him from unsheathing his sword: "What you want to hurt is just a child. But everything you do is meaningless."
"
"Why did you say that?" The murderous intention on Arthur's body at this moment was actually as thick as darkness, permeating the entire room. Even those who couldn't sense words and expressions would have probably noticed it already. Ya's eyes were fierce.
Ser even planned to kill Admiral Penzance as well, if the Admiral hadn't done that series of little tricks before.
But out of curiosity, Arthur still wanted to hear what the Admiral had to say. It was the Admiral who asked Arthur to see Mego's wet nurse. It was also the Admiral of Penzance who secretly encouraged Arthur to seize power and become the king of this country. Now
The admiral stopped Arthur from assassinating King Henry VI of England. Everything he did was full of contradictions.
"Come on, let's take a step to talk." The admiral said and walked to the window.
At this time, Arthur could have opened the mechanism of the bookcase and stabbed Henry VI to death with a sword the moment the secret room was opened. But he did not do so, and instead followed the admiral full of curiosity.
"That child is just a puppet." Admiral Penzance whispered: "He is a puppet king supported by several palace nobles. If they can support one kid to be the king, they can support another one. Even if you kill him
That child is useless. Mr. Aslan, if you really plan to take over this country, you can't kill people impulsively now. You need a better plan to gain power bit by bit."
"So?" Arthur asked coldly: "Admiral, you think too highly of me. How do you know that I must be interested in getting this country, instead of just destroying it all and watching this country in flames?"
Burnt to the ground?"
"Oh, hehe, I know you won't, Mr. Aslan. I know you won't." Admiral Penzance smiled while stroking his beard, and cast his eyes on a portrait in the distance: "
Real kings know how to assess the situation and only do what is best for them. I know your goal is not to destroy this country. Even if you destroy this country, you may not be able to achieve your goal, right?"
Arthur's first reaction was actually to make fun of Admiral Penzance, and with the sword unsheathed, he killed both the admiral and Henry VI present.
But he thought about it carefully and felt that the admiral's words were not unreasonable. Killing Henry VI was meaningless. Those who really controlled the political power of this country and used the child as a puppet and used it as an excuse to invade France.
In fact, he is still operating secretly somewhere in England. Arthur can kill one king, and they can elect another. They can say that Arthur is a killer sent by France, and find an excuse to further invade France. They want
There are countless excuses for invading a country. All of this cannot be solved by just assassinating a child.
"I don't know what your thoughts are when you come to this country." Admiral Penzance saw that Arthur's murderous intent had restrained a lot, so he continued: "But I know that you don't like this as much as I do."
A war. I think you probably came here to prevent the war. That’s why you and I have a common language.
Penzance was originally a beautiful port city. It was originally so full of vitality, filled with the laughter and laughter of the people all day long. However, the war changed everything. Strong men were taken away to serve in the army, and the government imposed strongholds every month.
The people of Penzance are exhausted by levying a large amount of food and supplies. Those selfish nobles want to destroy this city in pursuit of more power, and I must do something.
There is no need for you to destroy this country, Mr. Aslan. It has already been burned in the invisible fire, burned away, and collapsed like rubble. You cannot destroy what is being destroyed.
Something, Mr. Aslan. Unless------"
"Unless I cooperate with you and uproot our common enemy, right?" Arthur blinked.
"Your understanding is not wrong at all, Mr. Aslan." Admiral Penzance smiled calmly and said: "Now, can I release His Majesty the King?"
It was only then that Arthur's hand was released from the hilt of his sword.
"I sincerely hope you have a good plan, Lord Admiral Penzance." He said: "You have to know that I am a person who loses patience very easily. If things don't go as I expect, your
I’m afraid my head will move early.”
"I am fully aware of this risk." The Admiral pressed the hidden compartment on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf began to slowly open: "The moment I received the news that Mr. Aslan had eliminated the Red Death, I knew that you were
A person not easy to mess with."
(So he knows.)
(He knew it clearly and deliberately found Arthur.)
"Huh!" The child poked his head out from the secret room of the bookshelf and breathed a sigh of relief: "Is Miranda finally gone? Thank you so much, Admiral. I thought I was going to be caught by Miranda and take a shower this time."
"It is necessary to maintain good personal hygiene habits, Your Majesty." The admiral smiled kindly: "But tonight, please feel free to rest."
"Ah!" When the kid saw Arthur, he exclaimed: "Isn't this the big brother who brought the big wolfdog today? It turns out you are the admiral's guest."
"Not really." Arthur replied casually: "It's just a temporary partner."
"Hmm... I don't understand." The young man tilted his head and said, "Then it's time for me to go. Good night, everyone!"
Then the child ran away quickly.
"How long will he stay in your castle?" Arthur looked at Henry VI walking away and couldn't help asking in a low voice.
"His Majesty is just here to escape the summer heat. He will go back to London after a few days of fun. Don't try to make any more attempts on him. It's useless." The admiral replied, "I think you are tired too, Mr. Aslan. I have ordered someone to come here."
The castle has prepared a clean wing for you. You can check in at any time and have a good rest."
"No need." Arthur said, "I have already found a room in a hotel outside and paid for it. If I don't live there, I can't live in vain. I can't get used to living in your castle because there are too many idle people."
"Then do as you wish, Lord Aslan." The admiral did not try to persuade Arthur to stay.
