Lesson 177 Protection Money
The conversation between the three went well, and Wyatt and Brown, who were sure that their purpose had been achieved, soon offered their resignation, and King Brent called his chief chamberlain to send the guests out of the palace in his place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Wyatt and Brown left, Brent sat alone in a chair in the side hall, pondering, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the chief chamberlain had returned to the side hall and had been waiting by his side for a long time.
The old king's fingers tapped slowly on the armrest of the chair, and the cold touch on it made Brent's brain seem to clear up a little.
So Brent looked at the chief chamberlain, who had been with him for many years, and asked in a low voice, "Nasus, can I trust you?" ”
"Absolutely." Humbly, Nasus bowed his head and responded, "Your will is my wish!" ”
Brent looked at Nasus, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Since we already know that Duke Keith's youngest son died, then Laurie's little fox should have also learned, right?" ”
"It should be." Nasus nodded.
"Well, then, the time has come...... Brent whispered.
"Do you really want to do that?" Nasus's heart was shocked.
Brent looked up from Nasus's company and saw a huge scroll on the ceiling, which had been painted by a famous painter many years earlier by a king in the Kingdom of France.
The dome depicts a blood-colored battlefield, the hands of magicians shone with the light of destruction, the charging knights raised their spears called death, the armor of the soldiers armed with swords was stained with the blood of slaughter, and there were severed limbs and severed arms everywhere, and the blood-colored earth shimmered with a bewitching beauty beneath the statue.
Of course, the clearest thing is the man in the center of the picture in ornate armor, wearing a crown and holding a long sword, slashing his enemy in the midst of the gallop of his warhorse.
"Pacifying Clov" is the name of the painting.
At that time, Brent's ancestors faced the large-scale invasion of the Gangze Kingdom and the rebellion from the Clov family behind them, and led the soldiers to fight two fronts, but the battle situation was very unfavorable, and the country fell into turmoil.
However, the young king Yad II was brave enough to overcome the crowd in a desperate situation, leaving only a small infantry legion in front of the army of the Gangze Kingdom to camouflage and drag the enemy, and he recklessly returned most of the cavalry and almost all the magicians to quell the rebellion.
In this way, in the two-sided attack between the kingdom of Gangze and the rebellious Clov family, Adeer II was taken by surprise, and with the determination to die, he succeeded in a surprise attack with fewer victories and more beheadings, put down the rebellion in one fell swoop, and successfully saved the kingdom from the storm.
Afterwards, in order to record his great achievements, the happy king invited the famous painting master Mr. Phoebe Buckle to paint on the dome of the side hall, which also became a warning painting for the royal family of the Kingdom of France.
"No matter how dangerous the situation, the king's courage and strategy can always save the kingdom of France, so before the crisis comes, you need to increase the depth of your wisdom and dig into your extraordinary courage!"
Brent remembers that his first lesson was taught to him by his father himself.
"Of course!"
Brent's tone was full of determination, his courage and wisdom had blessed the Kingdom of France for so long, and he believed that this time would not be surprised.
"Your will!"
Nasus, the chief chamberlain, bowed respectfully, then slowly withdrew.
……
Menshanon was in the royal mansion, and Laurie and the Sophian woman were dining.
Laurie had rushed back to the royal capital from afar, and Sophia had been upset by Carlos while dining at the restaurant, and neither of them had had lunch, which was just in time to make up for it.
Sophia was delighted to see the appearance of the beauties on the table, a food she had loved to eat since she was a child, and because of the difficulty of obtaining the ingredients, even a young lady with a fortune like the Menshanons family could not be late often.
And the beauty Bei's delicate physique that as long as the water quality is a little inappropriate and the temperature is not right, she can still maintain the freshness of life for such a long distance from the harbor to the king, obviously a lot of thought has been wasted.
Laurie looked at her daughter's eyes and felt a sense of pride in her heart.
Although Laurie is a legendary merchant in the entire Kingdom of Fran, in fact, they are just a broken aristocracy, and in Laurie's father's generation, he just lost the nobility of the Kingdom of Fran, so Laurie was highly expected by his father when he was young, and he was treated very strictly since he was a child.
Laurie's father's training was fruitful, and Laurie did not disappoint his father, and finally used his wealth to exchange his wealth for a title of Honorary Honor without a fief.
But the price of Laurie's success is the lack of childhood, which makes Laurie's father very guilty, and Laurie himself is very regretful.
So, all of this has been made up for Sophia's body.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how busy Laurie was, he would always find time to meet his daughter, and no matter what mistakes Sophia made, Laurie would always help Sophia carry it down.
From this doting state, Sophia's personality is not crooked, which is also commendable.
After the father and daughter had eaten their lunch in silence, the servants immediately came up and removed the plates, and served them two cups of tea at a moderate temperature.
Laurie had scarcely taken a sip of the amber tea when a servant dressed as a butler came to the dining room.
"Henry, what's the matter?"
Henry whispered to Laurie: "Sir, miss, I just got the news that the young master Carlos died at home, and the Duke of Case was so grieved that he passed out. ”
"What?! Carlos is dead? Sophia was shocked when she heard this, "Impossible, although Carlos's injuries are serious, the healing potions of the St. Pharos Academy are indeed extraordinary, and his condition has obviously improved!" ”
Laurie didn't react much, just asked lightly, "Does Duke Keith have anything to say?" ”
"No, Duke Keith hasn't woken up yet, but now the rumors outside are very bad for us, and the guys of the Keith family are clamoring for us to hand over Miss Sophia......"
"This old dog can't sit still!" Laurie snorted coldly and put the teacup back on the saucer, "Is there any news coming out of the palace?" ”
"Yes!" The steward replied, "It is also the news that I have just received, and His Majesty has personally decreed that one more day will be added to this year's promotion conference, and on the last day there will be a contest between the age champions, and the winner will be personally commended by His Majesty the King, and the prize will be...... Viscount! ”
"Huh!" Laurie smiled and said to Sophia, "Look! This is a protection fee! ”
