Agree to Tayek's courtship - this is the only chance to get close to King Tayek, the only chance to assassinate Tez. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lagersis, who was constantly cursing herself and constantly longing for revenge and redemption, would not let go of this opportunity.

Even if it is really like what Terz said, wait for Lagersis to marry Tayek and then slowly persuade her to work together for peace between the two countries (in fact, it is impossible, although I don't know the real purpose of Tez, but it is obvious that the poisonous snake in front of him just wants a prop called "Princess Lageris"), Lageris will definitely not be deceived by Tez's rhetoric, she will only wait quietly in Tayek's palace - waiting for the moment when Tez is undefended!

"Huh? Miss Sakura, Lord Thresten? Why did you suddenly stop talking? Tesz asked curiously, "What are you thinking?" Could it be that there are any loopholes in my proud courtship plan? ――If so, please remind me! After all, this is also for the peace of the two countries! Hahahaha! ”

――You even deliberately said such a thing?!

Vile! Insidious! Disgusting!

How can there be such a person?

It's disgusting!

Obviously, he knows better than anyone else, and he knows that his plan is foolproof, but he deliberately pretends to be such a disgusting face.

Thinking back to the fact that he deliberately pretended to be very friendly when he tried Asa just now, deliberately described Lacey's angry determination as an agreement with him, deliberately did not call Lacey "Lord Thresten" as he did last time, and deliberately pretended to be very intimate and familiar with Lacey-

Viper? Tez also deserves to be called a viper? This is simply the biggest insult to a poisonous snake!

The Tez in front of him is even more hateful than the viper. More insidious, more despicable creatures!

Biting down tightly on Lagersis, slowly releasing the venom......

Alas...... Is there really no way around it?

Is there really no way to change the impending tragedy? Changing the ...... of Laxis An uncontrollable fate?

"His Majesty the King has arrived—"

Just when I felt powerless. The court ball had begun, and King Sarabont, who had not yet been seen, finally walked slowly into the venue. With the shouts of the guards, everyone present stood and bowed, but the viper Tezi, who saluted like everyone, raised his head slightly and looked at the king who was gradually walking in.

His Majesty Sarabont had not appeared on a formal occasion for more than half a year, and as he slowly walked into the venue, his steps looked a little older than before, but his tall and mighty body and shining eyes still told everyone around him that he was the king of Dolanar, the supreme being.

"You don't have to be polite." King Sarabont said as he walked, (As he passed by, he gave Tez a special and interesting look.) Tez also smiled and replied) "This king has something to do tonight, and I ask for your forgiveness, please forgive me - as for those cumbersome meeting ceremonies...... Just be free! ”

"Yes!" Everyone bowed respectfully to Sarabonte.

At the same time, the master of ceremonies at the meeting hall also walked quickly to the king's side, after getting his approval. First, he handed the pre-prepared message to the king. Then he turned and shouted, "Next, please give a speech at the Spring Festival of His Majesty King Sarabonte!" ”

"First of all...... Thank you all for coming to this court ball today," His Majesty Sarabont unfolded the speech very casually, skimmed it casually, and then handed it back to the celebrant with a surprised face, "This speech is really nothing special," His Majesty Sarabont said to the crowd, "and everyone has seen it in recent times. After that humiliation, the strength of our country and the confidence of our people have gradually been restored over the past year - all of you are here to do this! Here, the king would like to thank everyone! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone who was also puzzled had to bend down together. Respectfully replied.

According to past practice, His Majesty the King, who has completed the summary of the past year, should reward the knights for their outstanding achievements, is it just a few simple words? ――Don't even read out the speech? And...... What about the blessings for the coming year?

"As for your rewards...... His Majesty Sarabont seemed to see everyone's doubts, "after the ball, Captain of the Guard, Esther, will be in charge of presenting them to each of you—hehe! You must be wondering why this king is late today, right? He glanced at the crowd slightly, "Now this king is going to focus on two things!" ”

- What is so solemn? So solemn that His Majesty's attendance at the ball was postponed, so important that even court etiquette and knightly rewards could be omitted?!

…… Could it be ...... Is it true that a war against Tajek was declared today, as Tez expected?!

"First things first!" His Majesty Sarabont first glanced at everyone again with a majestic gaze to emphasize the importance of the matter, "Thresten? Roktar is out of the ranks! ”

"Yes!" Asa reflexively replied, then hurried up to King Sarabont, half-knelt down, and made a standard knightly salute.

"I believe it is clear to all of you this year," said King Sarabont, in a quiet but solemn voice, "'The Red-Eyed Meteor' - what the hero Seristine means to our country, what he has done during the year - he is the most outstanding knight among the youth, the hero of the nation, and the treasure of our country!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.

"Some people may be surprised at this time, and some people may not understand, and there are even rumors that 'His Majesty has not rewarded Viscount Rokhtar because I, King Sarabonte, have been wary of this illustrious knight!'" ――Really? His Majesty Sarabont once again swept the crowd with a majestic gaze, (and seemed to glare at the hereditary nobles in addition)

There was silence in the room of the "......", and no one knew what was behind the solemn and majestic expression of His Majesty Sarabont.

- Do you want to reward Thresteen? Or to execute Thresteen?

- If I had met Tez, I would have thought that His Majesty was going to reward Thresten, but now...... What would His Majesty King Sarabont think of Threstin, the greatest threat to the throne?

"Threstin, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone did not answer, King Sarabant looked down at Asa, who was half-kneeling in front of him, "I haven't given you a reward so far...... Is there any dissatisfaction with this king? ”

"Well...... Can you tell the truth? Asa hesitated at first, then asked directly in Lacey's usual tone.

"Huh! OK! ”

"Good!" Asa took a deep breath and replied in a loud voice, "Your Majesty still has the same words: 'It is my duty to serve the royal family!'" ’”

"What else?" His Majesty Sarabont couldn't help but smile.

"Huh? What else? Asa looked up in disbelief.

"Don't you add 'But isn't the person I want to protect a princess?'

"Your Majesty doesn't dare!"

"Is it 'dare' or 'don't want to'...... You're the same little thing you used to be! Hahahaha! His Majesty Sarabont laughed.

- It doesn't look like you're going to execute Thresten.

Call! I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone present also smiled, and the tension between the venues was swept away.

"Alright! Threstin! After a happy laugh, His Majesty Sarabont waved his hand to silence, "Since you only take what you have done purely as an obligation, then it is right that this king should not make a reward—is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, you're laughing!" Following His Majesty's joking tone, Asa also replied with a smile, "While your subordinates do their duty, the more rewards the better!" ”

"That'...... What reward do you want? His Majesty Sarabont glanced at him meaningfully, "Now you can't say you want to marry a princess—after all, you've rejected the king twice!" ”

“……”

Damn it! Unexpectedly, His Majesty Sarabont had anticipated what Asa would say in advance.

I believe that Assa, who is now in the presence of His Majesty the King, is thinking the same thing: to make a request to marry Princess Lagersis before His Majesty Sarabont publicly agrees to Tajek's proposal - in front of so many people, it must not be convenient for His Majesty Sarabonte, who has made it clear that Thresteen makes a request, to refuse immediately, right?

(Asa actually had more than I thought, however, and Asa told me afterwards: "It doesn't matter if that old thing in Sarabont refuses on the spot - I don't believe he can immediately announce his agreement to Tayek's request for marriage after rejecting me at the ball, and ...... Even if he did, I would have been able to have a knightly duel with Terz for Princess Lagersis on the spot - and kill the viper by the way! ”）

"Then your majesty doesn't have anything to want, except-"

"So be it!" Before Asa could finish speaking, His Majesty Sarabont had already taken the silver sword of Dolanar, which symbolized authority and will, from the hands of Esther, the captain of the palace guard behind him, "Viscount Roktar!" Then His Majesty Sarabont shouted majestically.

"In!" Asa was forcibly interrupted by His Majesty the King, so he bowed his head respectfully and solemnly responded.

"The King is now giving you the land of Roquetar, which is being rebuilt, the city of Alchemor around Roquetar, the city of Arcanea, and the surrounding villages! Grant you the title of Earl and allow you to form your own Knights! ”

"Wow!" There was a sound of envy and admiration all around.

The lord of three castles! Have your own Knights!

This is a qualification that only those princes who are related to the royal family deserve! - Three castles! Even the fief of the highly decorated Duke of Solna (Sha Bofei's father) had only one castle. You can also have your own Knights...... Wow! Better than my father! (Although my father is the head of the Wind Cavalry Regiment, the Wind Cavalry Regiment is essentially subordinate to the military department) (To be continued.) )
