William's consciousness withdrew from the Destiny Square, and at this time he was in the main hall of the palace, and in addition to him, many ministers were also there, waiting for the arrival of the envoy of the Kingdom of Falais.
After a while, the messenger was led by the guards to the main hall.
William glanced at the envoy, and what caught his eye was a handsome middle-aged man, slender and straight, with a serious face, well-dressed, and even his beard was meticulously cared for.
However, William quickly retracted his attention, he didn't care about the other party's appearance, he had seen the strength of this envoy after a look just now, this is what can really attract his attention, but it seems that the envoy's strength is average, his hands are not calloused, and he is not a person who has practiced swordsmanship or other physical arts.
The envoy of Falais, whose name was Romanos, did not realize that he was not taken seriously, and after finishing his salute, he deliberately glanced up at the throne on the high platform opposite, and asked loudly: "Why don't you see His Majesty Norton I, King of your country?"
Manny, who had just become Foreign Secretary, glanced at the envoy Romanos, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has been ignoring the government for many years, and if your country has any proposals or requests, it is the same as our Archon. ”
"How is that the same!" Romanos waved his right hand vigorously in a somewhat angry manner, and said in an accentuated tone, "As the envoy of the Kingdom of Falais, I represent King Robert, and this document was also written by King Robert himself to His Majesty Norton I of your country, as a courtier, how can I accept such a document on behalf of the king? Is it to usurp the throne?"
The hall was basically full of William's people, and they all looked at him coldly when they heard Romanos's words.
"Do you think you can represent King Robert, but I can't represent His Majesty Norton I?" said William, asking slowly.
"That's different," said Romanos, looking very tough, "King Robert can't come to this country, let me represent him as a last resort, and His Majesty Norton I is in the palace." ”
"Alright, then go and call His Majesty Norton I. William said calmly, and sat down in his chair, without even moving a finger, but motioned with his eyes to one of the guards to inform the king.
William's attitude is like summoning a servant, which makes Romanos, who has been a nobleman for generations, and has received a royal education since he was a child, very dissatisfied, it seems that he heard the rumors that the kingdom of Navia has been controlled by a group of rebellious ministers and thieves is not groundless, everything he sees in front of him has proved that William's attitude and power have long deviated from the duty of a courtier.
Originally, there were no seats in the main hall except for the throne, but when William entered the palace, he added seats for him and other ministers.
While waiting, the ministers of the Kingdom of Navia all sat peacefully, and only Romanos, the messenger of Falais, stood in place, being looked up and down by Manny and the others with unscrupulous eyes.
After a while, King Norton I was ushered into the main hall, and he was a little whiter and fatter than William had looked when he first met him a few years earlier, with more obvious dark circles under his eyes and a lower hairline.
Romanos respectfully saluted Norton I, but the other ministers of the Navia Kingdom didn't even move, and a few of the courtiers who were not William's old team, but the old aristocratic forces, moved restlessly in their chairs, but seeing that William and the others didn't get up, they didn't dare to come forward.
After William stood up and gave Norton I a brief salute, the others left their seats and saluted as he moved.
After Norton I sat down, he didn't say anything about letting the others sit down, but the others sat down after seeing William sit back in his chair and press his hand.
Romanos was again slandered, but he still followed the established steps and handed over the king's document to Norton I, but before the document could be opened in Norton I's hand, it was taken by the attendants next to him and handed over to William.
William flipped through the paperwork, which, as he expected, was about the territorial issue of the village of Cocoa West and the town of Housha.
"I don't think there's any need to discuss the incorporation of Cocoa West Village and Housha Town into our territory," William handed the document to Danbier, who was also the Minister of Science and Technology, and then said to Romanos, "The inhabitants of these two places have been enslaved by pirates for many years, and no one has ever paid attention to them before, and it is the will of the local people that we have rescued them from the pirates and incorporated them into our country." ”
"When it comes to territorial issues, those lowly peasants are not qualified to call the shots," Romanos said in a deep voice, "They can join the Kingdom of Navia, but they have no right to give the land that belongs to the Kingdom of Falais to the Kingdom of Navia." ”
"Send the people and land there are all liberated by the power of the Kingdom of Navia, and the people who rescue them are not qualified to be the masters, and the people who live there are not qualified to be the masters, are you qualified?" William smiled disdainfully.
"You are using strong words, your current behavior belongs to encroaching on the land of the Kingdom of Falais," Romanos gritted his teeth, with a hint of threat in his tone, "This may be mistaken by our country for an act of war." ”
As soon as Romanos's words fell, the hall seemed a little quiet, Norton I looked at Romanos in horror, and the others in the hall also looked at him with strange expressions.
"The Evil Dragon Pirates have been entrenched for so many years, and your country doesn't dare to send people to denounce," William raised his eyebrows, "Now that I have just been liberated by my troops, you dare to come to my palace and threaten to go to war, why is your courage so long late?"
"The Kingdom of Navia and the Kingdom of Falais are both members of the World Government, and if the two sides go to war, the World Government will definitely pay attention," Romanos said with bad intentions, "The World Government and the Navy will not discuss the normal conflict between the member countries, but if they find out that one of them is a cunning criminal who colluded with the local Navy and caused the East China Sea Navy to be corrupted in pieces, so as to escape the bounty, they will definitely not ignore it!"
After Romanos finished speaking, he stared at William, but saw that William's expression did not change at all after hearing his words.
"Is this what you rely on?" William said in a mocking tone, "Dogs fight people, this is why you dare not provoke the Evil Dragon Pirates, but dare to provoke me?"
William waved his hand at the guard, and then pointed to Romanos, whose face was flushed with anger because of his words: "Cut off his ears." ”
Romanos was shocked, and two wolf-like guards had already pushed him down.
"I've already said that there is no need to discuss the matter of Cocoa West Village and Housha Town, your ears seem to be useless, and it is a burden to keep them," William got up and walked over to Romanos and looked at him condescendingly, "You can't afford to mess with the Dragon Pirates, and you can't afford to mess with me, go back and tell your king that if he wants war, I'll give him war." ”
