Chapter 52 IV An Audience with the King

The place where Kadir met Vultures was in his palace, the Honey Garden.

This was the first time that Qadir had received a courtier in this garden, a privilege not before before of him, in the most intimate and intimate palace of Kadir. This is enough to show that Kadir attaches great importance and favor to the Vultures, which everyone knows.

The reason why the honey garden is so favored by Kadir is not only because of the majestic architecture, the splendid decorations, and the gardens full of exotic flowers and plants, but more importantly, it is home to Kadir's favorite thing, the youngest and most beautiful women in Yaqui.

In this palace, all the female officials wore revealing and provocative clothing, and the female slaves who served them were all naked, with only a thin cloth covering their lower bodies. Kadir can play with these young, beautiful and slender women here, and if it weren't for the fact that Kadir has not given birth to a new heir so far, I am afraid that there would have been a candidate to become a princess here.

Such a place like a man's paradise surprised even Viscount Libera, who had the honor of accompanying Kadir. Entering such a choppy group of the opposite sex, Libera had to bow her head so as not to be rude in front of the king.

Kadir looked at his favorite servant, and couldn't help but feel a little smug in his heart: if even a man like Libera was embarrassed, then it would be difficult for any man to resist the temptation. The reaction of the vultures after entering the palace is really worth looking forward to.

"Meet Your Majesty at the Lower Vultures!"

With this high-pitched and bright voice, Vulture entered the honey garden. The thirty-six-year-old priest general was not tall, but his body was very well-proportioned and light. The dark skin that has been exposed to the sun for many years is matched with his short gray hair. The hair was so white that it looked like Vultures was ten years older than his actual age. A pair of light gray eyes and closed lips exuded a firmness. He was wearing only a white linen robe, which looked very simple, and if it weren't for the gilt decoration of his belt inlaid with red, green and blue gemstones, he would be no different from a commoner.

Obviously, Vultures was startled by the sight as soon as he stepped into the palace, but it was only for a moment. After realizing this, Vulture lowered his head, respectfully followed the naked slave girl all the way to Kadir, and then bowed deeply: "In the lower Vultures, meet my majesty." ”

"No courtesy. Have a seat. Kadir waved his hand slightly.

"Thank you, my king." Vultures saluted again, then stood. He took a few steps back to his seat and sat down.

Kadir smiled and said to Vulture, "The widow has come to introduce you, this is Viscount Libera." ”

Vultures looked up and bowed slightly to Viscount Libera. Libera smiled in return.

"Come on, serve wine to General Vulture." Kadir said slowly.

When Vulture heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Please forgive me, I never drink alcohol under you." ”

"Oh? Is it? Kadir frowned slightly, as he could remember a courtier who didn't like to drink. Besides, even if he didn't like to drink, he didn't dare to reject himself in front of him, and Vulture rejected himself so bluntly, which made him feel a little unhappy, so he said: "Give General Vulture honey water." ”

The naked slave girl respectfully came to Vulture. Kneeling lightly, he poured the honey water into the silver wine glass in front of him. Vultures watched indifferently as the slave girl had done all this, then nodded her head in thanks, picked up her glass and took a sip. Put it back in its place.

Kadir shook his head secretly in his heart: if it were an ordinary man, there would be such a young and beautiful female slave girl showing a graceful figure in front of him, even if he did not urge lust. At least a few good glances with his eyes, but Vulture's eyes were very calm. No mood swings are visible. If you are not a person with a lot of determination, you are a person who has no need for women. I'm afraid that such a person can't rely on women to coax him.

Thinking of this, Kadir spoke: "This time, General Vulture led his troops to attack the thief army, although he did not win a complete victory, but he also achieved remarkable results, and the widow naturally should be rewarded. The widow named Aiqing a baron, awarded the post of general, and gave another 3,000 catties of gold, 500,000 silver coins, ten beauties, a mansion, and a good manor. ”

Vultures stood up again and saluted, "My king is dear, I have not been able to win a complete victory in this battle, and I have suffered many casualties, and my king is fortunate not to ask about the sins of the next, how dare you think of a reward?" I dare not be ashamed to accept it, and ask my king to take back his fate. ”

Kadir smiled: "Aiqing is serious. Aiqing's outstanding military achievements, if he is not rewarded, then who will serve the widow in the future? Aiqing doesn't have to refuse. ”

Vulture lowered his head and said: "King Qiqi, as a priest general, has been subordinate to the priest army, it is really inconvenient to accept His Majesty's title and general title, the manor estate is under the wish of His Majesty to give it to the high priests, and as a priest, it is inconvenient to accept the reward of beautiful women, as for the gold and silver rewards, please my king reward them to the soldiers who went out this time, so that the soldiers will do their best to fight for Your Majesty, and it is enough to be worthy of the mansion in the next place." ”

When Kadir heard him say this, his heart could not help but be filled with joy and sorrow. The good thing is that Vulture is indeed a general talent, if he accepts the title and the title of general, it will be equivalent to accepting the king's wooing, and in the future, he will not only be a priest general, but as a baron and a general of Yaki, the king can naturally deploy him to act. This would inevitably exacerbate the conflict between the king and the high priests, but he was willing to give the land to the high priests in order to gain their favor, so that the high priests could gain practical benefits. If he accepted the reward of gold and silver and gave it to the soldiers, then he would naturally gain the support of the soldiers, but if it was in the name of the king, then it was the king who gave the favor, so that not only could he avoid the suspicion of the high priests, but also betray his favor for the king. This shows that Vulture is very politically clear-headed, but it also shows that he is a very difficult person to deal with. Power, position, land, beauty, and money were of little importance to him, and according to the information obtained by Kadir, this vulture was not a devout believer in the god Ra, and his participation in the priestly army was probably a simple accident, and from his past performance, it was indeed impossible to see that he had shown a special interest in anything. In this way, everything that Kadir, as the king, can give is not what Vulture wants, so what should be used to win over this talent?

Kadir couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Viscount Libera.

Libera immediately understood the king's troubles, and immediately gave Kadir a look.

Kadir understood, and said: "Since Aiqing has this heart, it is very rare, and the widow approved Aiqing's proposal." Let's put this matter aside for the time being, and we will discuss it later. Come, put on a wine feast! (To be continued......)
