Chapter Eighty-Five: The King's Envoy

Viscount Wright rode and stood at the gate of the castle, looking around, waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to greet him, followed by a dozen well-armored retinues and samurai, waving the emblem and banner of the kingdom.

As the king's envoy, he was ordered to hurry to Ember City without stopping, and he did not have a good rest on the way, which made him feel exhausted.

Wright's family is a recognized centrist, never quick to turn over one side or the other, especially in the current uncertain situation, they still appear to be staunch supporters of His Majesty, and they maintain a courteous relationship with Quint's side as if they had never seen anything happen.

In fact, from the perspective of the common people, in addition to the old king, the chalk now still belongs to the peaceful atmosphere of singing and dancing, and there is no difference, and you can't see the mountain rain behind it.

Wright was not yet forty years old, shrewd, strong, steady and cautious, which was probably one of the reasons why he was chosen as a special envoy.

It was his first time in Ember City, and only the hunting groups and caravans he could see everywhere could make him feel the uniqueness of this small city, and everything else was quite backward, exuding a barren atmosphere everywhere, only this castle made his eyes shine.

Sure enough, it is the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know which prince's minister's masterpiece, in this small city, you can find it with your eyes closed, it is too outstanding, and it is incompatible with other low buildings in the city.

The endless stream of busy artisan servants also shows that the castle is still under construction, including the tall city walls that have begun to take shape.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince has already predicted his own outcome?

Wright looked at the crowd of people coming out of the gate of the castle and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was in the lead, slowly dismounted, straightened his clothes, and stood with his head held high, and a dozen or so attendants also stood solemnly behind him, lined up in an array, and raised the flag.

As the king's envoy, the faction still has to be sufficient, which represents the majesty of the royal family.

"Your Highness, on behalf of His Majesty the King, I have come to Ember City to announce a major decree. There was not a trace of a smile on Wright's face, and he looked at Bai Xuan seriously.

Bai Xuan lowered his head and bowed slightly, while the subordinates behind him knelt on one knee and lowered their heads.

"His Majesty's decree is now read. Wright opened a sealed scroll, removed the seal, unfolded it slowly, and read it aloud.

"From now on, Ember City will be the personal domain of Prince Bai Xuan Katut, and the prince will have all the rights of the lord and will be exempted from all taxes paid to the royal capital as a private domain for twenty years......"

What followed was a long list, including various production resources and artisan slaves given to the prince, all of which were routinely used as accessories for territorial development, but the number and variety were far beyond the ordinary situation, after all, it was the territory of His Royal Highness the prince, and the geographical location was remote after all, which was also as it should be.

In general, if a prince gains a fief and becomes a liege, it is a sign that he will lose the battle for the throne, while other princes will not receive a fief until the new king ascends to the throne - if they can survive.

But this is not absolute, there have been counter-examples in the history of various countries, especially when it was rumored that His Majesty intended to pass on the throne to Bai Xuan, everything became very uncertain, and no matter what changes could happen.

After reading it, Wright immediately showed a warm smile, walked forward quickly to salute Bai Xuan, and then handed him the decree.

"Your Highness, congratulations, the status of this Ember City is now becoming more and more important, His Majesty the King has a lot of trust in you, and after reading the letter, he quickly made a wise decision against the will of the public, and ordered me to deliver the order to you as soon as possible. Wright was so enthusiastic that he came up to hug His Royal Highness.

"Thank you Your Excellency Viscount for coming here as His Majesty's envoy, this journey must have been very hard, right?" Bai Xuan smiled sincerely and let the group into the castle.

"The materials and personnel have already set off one after another, and they will all arrive in Ember City within half a month, I believe that under the governance of His Highness, Ember City will soon undergo earth-shaking changes. Wright greeted Donglei and Kareth with a smile as he said, "If Your Highness has any other needs, you can also ask His Majesty the King, and I will tell Your Majesty the truth when I return." ”

"Then there's the Envoy Laut. Bai Xuan said, "How is His Majesty the King doing?"

"Your Highness, with all due respect, Your Majesty's physical condition has not improved, but it has not deteriorated further, and it is necessary to continue to recuperate. Wright did not deliberately whitewash the peace, saying that His Majesty the King has his own heavenly appearance.

Bai Xuan sighed slightly, and had a good impression of the envoy's outspokenness.

"Is there anything new in the royal capital lately?" Bai Xuan asked, and the smart person naturally knew what he meant by the new thing.

"The royal capital has been very peaceful recently, and the biggest new thing is even your Highness. Wright's answer was watertight.

"What do those people in the royal capital think of this matter?" Bai Xuan asked casually.

"His Majesty the King is wise, this is the consensus of everyone. Wright said with a smile, "There are some different discussions, but that's just a villain's opinion." ”

"What the envoy said is very true. Bai Xuan also responded with a smile.

It seems that Quint's side has not yet had a strong backlash against this matter, and there is no reason to do so, perhaps he still hopes that the Black Ghost can complete the task.

Wright quietly observed the various facilities in the castle, and he saw a huge martial arts arena, groups of warriors practicing fighting, and the sound of killing was shocking, and behind it was a large number of houses, which looked like they had just been built, and there seemed to be a blacksmith shop, and an alchemy room, as he saw apprentices in short robes hurrying by.

And the change in His Royal Highness the Prince himself also surprised him, as one of the Ministers of State, he had seen Prince Bai Xuan many times, but none of them looked so radiant as now, and he still exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, only people with great strength and faith would have such a temperament, and he didn't know where this change came from.

The prince is still the same prince, and the prince is not that prince again.

His Royal Highness the Prince should have already begun to prepare for the domination of the territory, which shows that he is confident.

Could it be that the gossip that came true?

After entering the study and retreating, Wright took out a sealed letter and handed it to Bai Xuan.

"What is this?"

"Your Highness, this is the letter that His Highness Monge entrusted me to hand over to you when I passed through Silver Leaf City. ”

Brother Three Kings?

Bai Xuan took the letter.
