Chapter 24: Reward

It was this Clifford's performance that surprised him, although he accepted Clifford as his adopted son, but he hadn't seen him a few times for so many years, plus after his fiefdom was seized, the old king Frederick VII was afraid that Clifford would ask him to send troops to quell the rebellion, and he hid from it, but he didn't expect that this ten princes, who had always been inconspicuous before, could have such a plan today, it was really unseemly, he looked at Clifford with a slight smile, and said with a kind face: "Ten princes, I feel sorry for your family's affairs, It's just that you know the current situation of the kingdom very well, and I really can't use the extra strength to help you restore the country, but don't worry, when the kingdom recovers, I will definitely help you get back the feudal country. ”

Clifford, who has lived for two lifetimes, naturally knows that this is all a scene, and he can't take it seriously, he knows that nothing in this world is given for nothing, no matter what it is, he has to rely on himself to fight for it, and he doesn't expect the king to help him, he decided to rely on his own efforts and wisdom to build a more powerful earldom, no, it's an empire, bowed to the king, and said very sincerely: "Dear Your Majesty, Clifford thank you for your kindness." Naturally, Clifford knew the difficulties of the kingdom, so he didn't ask for it for so long. Clifford had no other wishes, but hoped to share the worries of His Majesty and repay His Majesty for his nurturing kindness. ”

This set of rhetoric can be seen everywhere in the time-traveling novels and TV series of Huaxia Kingdom in later generations, and Collie Fu naturally made it up without blushing and heartbeat.

"Okay, okay." The old king Frederick VII was really coaxed to be very happy, and laughed heartily: "I knew that you were a sensible child, and today's events proved that I really did not see the wrong person." By the way, I don't think you have any servants there, do you? ”

Is this the rhythm of giving away? For the reward that these kings really wanted to give, Clifford would never refuse, smiled slightly, and said: "The two servants I recruited before were not loyal enough and have been dismissed by me. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Second Prince gave me a maid, plus the four people I recruit now, which is barely enough. ”

"How's that going to work?" The old king Frederick VII looked indignant, and said with a dissatisfied face: "There are too few people, you are also the son of a dignified earl, studying in the royal capital, only such a few people serve you, you will make others laugh at our royal family for being stingy." Then, his eyes rolled, he thought for a moment, and muttered, "In this way, you go back with Taylor today, and in a few days I will send someone to send you a batch of servants and increase your income." It will definitely make you experience a pleasant life in the royal capital. ”

Giving money and giving away people, who would refuse such a good thing, Clifford put on an expression of gratitude, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it is really my honor to live in your glorious country." ”

"Hahaha." The old king Frederick VII was once again photographed comfortably and calmly, and said with a smile: "With a capable courtier like you to assist me, God also bless our Rhine Kingdom, as long as you do your job well, the royal family will not treat you badly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Taylor and Clifford bowed together and replied.

The three of them were hypocritical and polite again, and Taylor led Clifford to retire together.

Taylor now looks at Cliffor, the more pleasing it becomes, this is really a treasure, despite Cliffor's repeated refusals, insisted on personally delivering Clifford to the door before returning home.

"Oh, my master. You're finally back, and seeing how happy you look, it must be a pleasure to meet the king. When Arya saw Clifford returning, she rushed up first, grabbed his arm, and smiled sweetly. Ahsan and Allen, who were next to them, also bowed to Clifford.

"I think so." With a smile on his face, Clifford waved to his men and said, "Guys, your work will be idle in a few days. The king has agreed, and will send me a group of servants, and when the time comes, I will leave any dirty work to them, the newcomers. ”

"Oh God. This is truly our gospel. Yasan was a pun intended, literally happy for the sake of ease, but in fact he could clearly sense from this incident that the king had begun to pay attention to his master again, which was nothing less than great news, which meant that they were a big step closer to the great cause of restoration.

"Really? My lord, have you done anything to make the king appreciate you, you have a way. Arya said with a happy look. At this moment, she began to make another calculation in her heart, if what Colliford said was true, then with the king's favor, he was likely to gain power quickly, so should she continue to rely on betraying him to gain the favor of the second prince, after all, even if she returned to the second prince, she would definitely not get his favor, if he really liked himself, he would not give himself to others.

But what if Clifford is bragging? Let's take a look at the situation first.

In a good mood today, Clifford naturally would not let go of the opportunity to clean up Alia, returned to the room, tossed her for a while, stroked her smooth body, and said quietly: "I have gained a lot from this visit to His Majesty, and the king is very satisfied with me, and he will reward me." ”

"Congratulations, my master." Like a kitten, Arya snuggled in Clifford's arms, and said sweetly: "Master, I knew that you would definitely turn over, what method did you use to gain the king's trust, Arya really wants to hear it." ”

Coolford sneered in his heart, and teased quietly: "What are you listening to this? ”

"Arya just admires her master very much, and everything related to her master, Arya seems to know. However, since it is inconvenient for the master to say, then Arya will definitely not ask again. Arya was afraid that she would be in a hurry to ask, which aroused Clifford's alarm, so she got off the donkey's coquettish words, and did not forget to put her arms around Clifford and offer her own fragrant kiss.

Clifford didn't answer her words, and said coldly, "Dear Arya, when did you go to the Second Prince's Mansion?" ”

Arya felt in her heart for a while, she didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but he was a veteran spy, so he didn't panic, his mind turned a little, and said, "Just a year before the second prince sent me, the master asked what this was for?" Alya was very unhappy there, always bullied, and when she came to her master, she knew the joy of life. ”
