Kunograta waved the slave girl out, then looked at Lycias and said with a solemn expression: "The Senate is the most important institution in the kingdom, and it plays an important role in checking and balancing the power of the king...... Ahem...... Who else would dare to oppose His Majesty's proposal...... cough cough cough ......"

"Don't say it, take a good rest, I understand, I'll do my best!" Lysias made a promise.

………………………………………

The Dionian Palace is located at the confluence of the Klatty and Koseni rivers, at the foot of the King's Hill, on which is King Davers's residence.

The palace is located in the southwest of the Senate, and the two are less than 300 meters apart, although it is not as grand as the Senate Grand Chamber, but it has its own unique style.

It sits west and faces east, with its back to the hill and the river on its side, it is a two-storey, boxy building, the wall is made of large regular ashlars, the wall is quite flat, and there are hardly any big gaps to be seen, because the "Davers cement" is poured to make it a whole, and at the same time the "H" shaped clamp is reinforced on the inside of the ashlar to make the boulders more solid.

The perimeter eaves around the wall are supported by dozens of simple and practical Dorian stone columns that can barely be hugged by one person, while a section of the eaves extending outward in the center of the east-facing wall is supported by eight Ionian stone columns with foundations and spiral capitals. A triangular roof was added to its eaves, and in the center was a disc of gold sculpture with the emblem of the Dionian kingdom, a crown of pomegranate branches with long hair twisted around a double-strand fork.

The foundation of the entire palace was more than a meter high, so there were stone steps in front of the Ionian pillars, which were 20 steps. In front of the stone steps, there is a circular platform made of white marble that resembles a small altar, and in the center stands a long flagpole with the flag of the Kingdom of Dionia, also "long hair, double strands, diamonds and crowns".

Straight under the flagpole stood two heavily armed court guards. Every morning, 50 palace guards march from the palace to the bottom of the flag stand in a neat phalanx, and then raise the flag in an elegant posture, and at dusk they lower the flag in the same procession and posture. This unique and solemn ceremony attracts many people of the Kingdom of Dionysia, and even Gentiles, every day.

The last time he came to Turiyi, the palace had not yet been built, but this time he was summoned by the king to stand in front of the palace that best exemplifies the architectural skills of the Dionian kingdom. Stepping up the white steps, he could see the emblem of the Kingdom of Dioonia hanging above the lintel, glowing with dazzling golden light, and an invisible pressure made him suddenly feel small and suddenly awe-inspiring.

After walking the steps, behind the eight Ionian stone pillars, a group of palace guards guarded the palace gates, and they carefully checked the warrants of the heralds who had brought him before allowing them to enter.

The floor of the palace is made of polished pebbles that are closely arranged and inlaid with black as the base color, white as the main embellishment, supplemented by other colors, and decorated with exquisite geometric patterns such as flowers, waves, squid...... This was a novelty for Gherney, who would have wanted to linger a little longer if he hadn't hurried to meet Davers.

"His Majesty originally planned to paint murals on the walls and put sculptures on both sides of the walkway, but because no good painters and sculptors were found, it was not implemented for the time being." The herald saw his thoughts and said proudly.

Gerney hurriedly withdrew his gaze and nodded absently.

When he came to the king's office on the second floor of the palace, and the herald went in to make a report, he saw the ruler of the kingdom of Dioonia striding out, and said loudly with a smile: "Gherni, warrior of the Samonai people, leader of Abenirum, welcome to Turii again!" ”

"Your Majesty King Davers!" Geirny hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"Come in! Come in! Davers greeted him warmly into the office and told the heralds: "Go and tell the kitchen, prepare some fruit and water, and bring it at once!" ”

Davers showed his respect for the weak Abenirum by letting Geerney sit down on a wooden chair near the large desk, and instead of sitting behind the desk, he sat on another wooden chair opposite.

This small detail touched Gelni a little, and he turned his head unnaturally to look behind his desk, where two scribes were engaged in copying documents, and the black and white mosaic mural on the wall that appeared to be a map of Italy caught his eye.

"I think the last time I saw you was seven years ago." Davers spoke.

Gherney looked at Davers and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"At that time, the palace was not yet built!" Davers smiled and sighed as if he were chatting with a friend, "How fast time flies, seven years have passed!" I didn't expect you to send a team to the competition this year, so I was really happy to hear from Ksima! What's even happier is that your Aberum team performed very well in this competition, which surprised me and the people, and I guess many fans will remember Abenirum ......"

Geerney said modestly: "Your Majesty, it was just luck, the second game against Vig, we simply lost the game. ”

Seeing that Gerney still had some regret in his heart, Davers smiled: "Yes, your performance made many fans misjudge, and protested to the city hall that you and Pixis were playing match-fixing. ”

Dyerney smiled wryly, trying to explain.

Davers added: "I've watched both games, actually...... Picosis lost to you because they were too weak and unfamiliar with your style of play. Football from me...... It has been more than a decade since Hades inspired me and taught it to the public, and the sport has grown rapidly due to frequent competitions and training. As far as I know, many strong teams now have dozens of offensive tactics alone, and the tasks of the players on the field are becoming more and more detailed, and the game is no longer just a contest of strength and speed, but more relies on wisdom and tactical execution. When you played against Vig, the complex tactics they used obviously inhibited the use of your characteristics, which is why you lost quickly......"

Davers seriously analyzed the reasons for his defeat, and finally said: "It's not enough to train your own, you also have to play more games and learn from other teams, I suggest ...... The Aberum team should play in the Lucania region every year, and of course Turii will continue to invite you to the finals! ”

"Uh......" Gherney hesitated.

"What? Having difficulties? Davers asked.

"Thank you for your concern!" said Geirny. When I returned, I consulted with the people about the proposal. ”

"If there's any difficulty in participating in the competition, tell Ksima and he'll do his best to help you out." Davers said earnestly.

Gerney should have sounded.

The two men chatted for a while about rugby, football, and even the Hercules game that was created in honor of Hercules.

Seeing that Davers was in high spirits, Dyern said, "Your Majesty, I have come to Turiyi this time, and in addition to watching the performance of my own team, I have one more thing to tell you-"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Davers had a smile on his face.

"At the beginning, the kingdom of Dioonia signed an alliance with our Hirpini tribe, and in addition to 'mutual non-aggression, one must come to the aid of the other', in addition to 'non-aggression, one must come to the ......aid of the other', the covenant also demanded that 'the free movement of the two peoples, the strengthening of trade, the exchange of faith, and the ...... of hired labor'

But in fact, it was only Abenirum who really did all this, and Aequum, Tuticum, Aeclanum, Aquilonia, led by Beneventum...... and other towns and tribes, ostensibly obeying, but secretly forbidding the people to come into contact with you Dionians, otherwise they will be severely punished by the priests of the tribe. Nine years have passed since the signing of the Covenant, and your Majesty the King has to admit that the Dioonians are largely inaccessible in other parts of Samonay, except in the realm of Abenirum.

But these acts of kindness of our Abenirum towards Dionya have always been resented by the Grand Chieftain Lesguk and other chieftains, and I am sure that Your Majesty you are also aware of this. As the term of the alliance approached (although Dionya won the war, the three tribes of Samonai were not willing to become vassals of Dionia, and their attitude was relatively tough, and finally a compromise was reached, and the term of the alliance agreement was ten years, which could be renewed after expiration), and the suppression of Abenirum by Lesguk and other tribes became even more serious. Regardless of Samonai tradition, they forcibly divide our grazing areas, and as soon as people and livestock cross the line, they will be seized by them! ……”

Gherni clenched his fists and said in an emotional and hateful voice: "Lesguk has also contacted the high chiefs of the other tribes and the high priests to obtain the right to hold a festival of the god Savoni in Benevenum early next spring, and according to tradition, all the Samonai chieftains will go to Beneventum to participate in the celebration. Someone secretly told me that Lesguk wanted to have the high priests of Samoni convict me of 'blasphemy' and punish me with divine punishment (i.e., cutting off my limbs and still on the top of the sacrificial hill to be gnawed to death by wild wolves) on the grounds that 'I allow the priests of Hades to preach in the territory'...... If I don't attend, I will be convicted of 'contempt for tradition and blasphemy', and not only will I be put to death, but my people who support me in Abenirum will also be severely punished!"

Your Majesty, I Gherni, who have acted in accordance with the covenant and have been friendly with you Dionia, did not expect to be hated and framed by my fellow people, and I hope for your support from you, Your Majesty, for me! For Abenirum! Win back the justice you deserve! ”(https:)
