The female official seems to have been opened to the door to a new world, refreshing the bottom line of the nobles in her cognition, and she can't even peek at William's gaze, and her eyes are still drilling behind him.

She trembled and handed over the tray in her hand, and after Avril took the letterhead from the tray, she fled as if hiding from something dirty, and did not dare to stay for a moment, and closed the door with great care as she left.

Avril patted her cheek lightly, calming down the qi and blood that had surged up from the fight, and then slowly opened the letterhead in her hand, and then the flush that had just calmed down came to her face again.

"It's going to take five days! He'll be able to come and collect my body in five days!"

She was so angry by the contents of the letterhead that her face turned red, and she tried to tear the letterhead with both hands, but she didn't expect that the stationery used for interrogation was made of special materials, and the material was tougher than the old bark.

"Ahem!ahem!" she dropped the letterhead suddenly, reached out to cover her lips and coughed, her fair face flushed with an abnormal flush.

Without saying a word, William picked up the fallen letter and glanced at it quickly.

"Your Majesty

The private army of the Lion family has gone all out to the royal capital, but the food, grass and supplies have not yet been gathered, and it will take five days to reach the royal capital, I hope that Your Majesty and the queen will hold on for a few days, and when the vanguard army arrives, Old Cole will personally kill the leader of the rebel army to the two ......"

"Idiots, do you really think those rebels will be satisfied if they occupy two dukedom......s? cough cough cough cough ......"

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to see a doctor, because you haven't rested for a long time about the rebels, and if you continue like this, you probably won't be able to hold on. ”

William X's cold voice rang out faintly, pulling Avril out of her anger briefly, and she slumped limply in her chair and laughed miserably.

"Ahem, there's no need for this, the rebels will come in two days, and now they can't hold up a serious illness at most, and won't they die two days later?"

William closed his eyes with his broadsword in thought, and he spoke, "Have you ever thought about ......?"

Avril waved her hand and said helplessly: "Have you ever thought about leaving the royal capital? The troops that can be dispatched are either in the north or in the hands of the Marquis of Giber in the south, and those troops are all private troops requisitioned from the major nobles, if the royal capital is defeated, how many people do you think are still willing to obey the royal family's dispatch?"

It would be another week before Gibb arrived, and if Cole could resist it for a few days, the rebellion would still be able to be suppressed, and now it was clear that he would not come, Fran...... It's the end of the road. ”

After coughing twice, she fell on the table and said angrily and helplessly: "I ask him to restrain the degree of taxation and revise those laws that are too unreasonable, and Cole chooses to die for Fran? and those new nobles, I am already planning to help them get a reasonable fief as much as possible, why can't they wait and start a war......

Her Majesty the Queen, who is shrewd and powerful in front of people, rarely shows her fragile side. She muttered, "Shouldn't I really do this, but watch Fran slowly crumble, and how will those commoners survive if these nobles are no longer restrained?"

William stood silently behind her, took off his cloak and put it on her.

In fact, you have done a decent job, making laws, commanding the army, handling government affairs, and approving taxes, and if you change to the world of the previous life, you may really be able to renew the national fortune of Flange for hundreds of years.

However, there are transcendents in this world, and a squad of hundreds of elite knights is enough to easily defeat tens of thousands of ordinary people, and the largest armed force is in the hands of nobles. If it weren't for the intervention of the new nobles, those ordinary people would not have been able to overthrow the two dukes to the ground in a few hundred years, and in such a world, it would be difficult for a king who was dedicated to taking care of the people at the bottom to end well.

Avril gathered the cloak on her body, lay on the table and muttered bitterly: "William, you are also from a noble background, and you have been working as a royal guard since the Fankins family was banned, it is difficult to understand the feelings of those ordinary people." ”

"I was like you before, and even before I was eighteen, I didn't know that there were beggars in this world until the day I married Peter. ”

She sat up straight, wrapped her cloak tightly around her body, and recalled: "At that time, the people in the street were cheering for us, throwing flower petals at us, and everyone was shiny, and everyone looked so happy. However, as we passed the intersection of the 12th block, a dried flower was thrown at me. ”

When William heard this, he immediately realized that the intersection of the main road of the royal capital and the twelfth block was the entrance to the former slum.

Avril said in a faint voice, "It was a dirty little girl throwing flowers, and she was standing outside the alley on the side of the street and smiling at me. I still remember that little gray face, and the big eyes on it were particularly beautiful, like two black pearls embedded in the face. ”

I smiled at her and threw back a handkerchief with two pieces of candy and a few petals. Then a woman in tattered clothes ran out of the alley and carried the child back. She looked at me as she went into the alley, and it was very complicated, and it was full of things I had never seen before.

So I reined in my horse and took a step into the alley, and peeked inside. The scene in front of me simply frightened me, in the alley more than two meters wide and ten meters long, there were dozens of people, and when they looked up at me together, those eyes were full of fear, as if I was not alone, but a demonic beast that wanted to eat them. ”

William stood behind her without saying a word, silently listening to her.

I was quickly pulled back by Peter, and I was afraid to ask him who they were. Peter told me with disgust on his face that they were untouchables, and that he had ordered two days earlier that they should be driven out into the corner alley for the sake of our wedding, so as not to disturb my mood. ”

Avril lowered her head, the strands of hair on her forehead falling down, obscuring her charming face, and her expression was completely unvisible.

"You know, those people at that time have been in that dark alley full of feces for two days, two whole days!"

"I was in a daze for the whole wedding, I had no idea what I was doing, my mind was full of the little girl's face and the scared eyes of those people.

After the wedding, I sent someone to look for the child, but the guards who came back told me that the child was dead, and that the people in the alley fought over the two pieces of candy I had thrown at me, and the child was trampled to death by the candy grabbers...... Two pieces of candy! Can you think of it? Just because of two pieces of candy!"

Avril covered her face and began to sob, her ruddy fingers straining too hard and starting to turn faintly white.

William sighed and didn't know what to say, although candy is not a luxury in the aristocracy, but only alchemists can make it, two pieces of candy are about one silver wall, which is enough for a dozen bags of grain in the hands of the poor.

"When I left Peter and hurried over, there was no one else in the alley, except for the woman leaning against the deepest corner, her face bruised, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and footprints on her body and clothes.

When she saw me pass, she slowly knelt down and kowtowed while holding her daughter's corpse, and then looked up at me numbly, a look I will never forget in my life. ”

"There was neither resentment nor anger, not even sorrow, nothing in that look! The owner of those eyes was alive, but the look was as if it were dead!"

William listened to Avril crying silently, and could not say any comforting words, so he had to stand silently behind her with her.

"So in fact, I understand, I know that the king can't hold it anymore. But if the royal family is driven out like this, everything I've done all these years will go back to the way it was.

The royal family has enough money for me and Peter to buy a big estate in another country, and we'll be doing well, but those who just saw hope will fall back into hell, and the empty twelfth neighborhood will be filled with people who can't afford to pay their taxes.

I knew I shouldn't put my hopes in that old fox, I just didn't want to see those eyes again......"
