Chapter 94: Alan and George (5)
Compared with the energetic Essis side, the Rollin court has been full of gloom and gloom in the past two days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The palace ministers and guards of all sizes had a premonition of the coming great change, and as they walked and talked in the palace, they involuntarily lowered their steps and lowered their voices.
If it had been in the past, they would have been scolded on the spot by George VI or Renard. But now Renard spends all sunset in the barracks, presiding over Roland's defense. He had not seen any of the courtiers since he had entered the palace once when he had returned from Fort Como. And the backbone of the Rollin aristocracy, His Majesty George VI, also lived in seclusion, and did not convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures at all.
The chamberlains in the palace trembled, fearing that they had done something wrong at this time and provoked George VI to anger him.
And His Majesty George VI, who has been unusually mysterious these days, has been immersed in his study all day long, and no one knows what he is doing.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't gathered your ministers for several days, are you planning to give up?" A low, young voice that seemed to carry a myriad of mysteries sounded in the study.
George VI jerked his head and saw a thin young man in a gold-rimmed black robe standing in front of him.
"It's you!" George VI stared at John, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"Dior John, I wish your majesty well." John bowed slightly.
"What are you doing now? Do you still have the malicious taste of watching people fail? In response to John's salute, George VI forced down the anger in his heart and said.
"I'm coming back to show your majesty a way out."
"Alive? I can't imagine that one day this will come out of your mouth, what an irony! ”
"The matter has come to this, Your Majesty, you should understand that the general trend of the Rollin Kingdom is gone, it is useless to hold on, and it is futile to resist."
"So what? I, George Carter, am the supreme king of the kingdom of Rollin, the lord of all Lorraine. Let me surrender a duke? This is an insult to me! It's an insult to the whole of Rollin! If I surrender, how can I be worthy of my people? How can I be worthy of the vassals who owe my allegiance? ”
"Your Majesty, continuing to resist will only increase more casualties, but it will not change the outcome."
"I don't believe it. Could it be that the centuries-old inheritance of my Luolin Kingdom will be wiped out by a hairy boy? ”
"Your Majesty, this is a letter of surrender drafted by your vassals, take a look."
John sighed and handed a parchment scroll to George VI. George VI looked at the parchment in front of him, his eyes wandering, and in the end he did not take the parchment.
"So what. In such a big country, there will always be some betrayers, like you, aren't you? ”
"Your Majesty is right, but they are now called traitors, and I am afraid that in a few years they will become the loyalty of the new king. Aristocrats have always liked to play such games, and Your Majesty should know it well. ”
"Do you like it too?" George VI looked at John with a calm face, and his gaze seemed to penetrate John's heart.
"Your Majesty seems to care about me in particular."
"Of course I care about you! I trusted you so much at first, I regarded you as my brother, and I even put you in control of the court of Lorraine. Who persuaded me to go to the kingdom of Ammusi? And who left me at the last moment? ”
"It's me."
"Damn it! You still have the audacity to admit it! ”
George VI finally couldn't contain his anger and slammed the table. The teacup on the table was suddenly shaken down, and the fragrant tea spread instantly.
"I'm willing to admit it's because I never regret the decision I made. I, Dio-John, am an astrologer, and I have the will of the stars! ”
"Including you to persuade me now?"
"Yes!"
"Cunning! How did I believe you in the first place! ”
"If Your Majesty wants to blame me for the failure, then you will not be willing to defend it."
George VI's pupils shrank sharply, and he grabbed the tea bowl on the table with his right hand and was about to throw it at John, but stopped at the last moment. He sneered, "It's stupid for Ouranos to let you come and persuade me to surrender. The way you look can only provoke my anger! ”
"Your Majesty won't, because I understand you."
"You !!"
"Also, I came of my own free will, and I have nothing to do with Lord Ouranos."
An eerie silence echoed through the study, and George VI's face was gloomy, staring at John deadly. The spilled tea finally reached the edge of the table, slid down the corner of the table, and exploded on the wooden floor of the red shirt.
"Why?"
"Your Majesty, I told you when you first knew me that as an astrologer, I would follow the will of the stars. The stars tell me that the El is about to usher in a catastrophe unseen in a thousand years, when the continent is stained with life and blood. I can't let that happen, so it's my job to find the one who can save humanity. ”
"Why?"
"I thought you were the one I was looking for. It's a pity that the stars tell me that you are not. ”
"Why?"
"What, why? What the hell are you asking! For the first time, John's voice changed, and it was no longer as calm as before.
"I'm asking why you came back to save me? If the end is already predestined, then why should you come back? ”
"I..." John was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect George VI to care about this.
After a long silence, John replied faintly: "Your Majesty, I just want to repay your kindness... When you and I first met, I was a magician who could not see the light, but instead of looking at me with the eyes of monsters like everyone else, you trusted me. Although I Dio-John have no shame in saying that I am a loyal servant, I will definitely repay Your Majesty! ”
Silence, and deathly silence. John tilted his head to the side, avoiding George VI's gaze. Neither of them spoke, until a shrill whistling sound broke the silence.
George VI ignored John, stood up, and walked to the window of the study to look out.
I saw dozens of fireballs in the distance, with bright tails falling from the sky. After a while, several fires were lit in the city, and black smoke swirled upward, as if it was a giant dragon struggling in shackles. The originally peaceful city suddenly exploded like a pan of oil in water.
"How's Ouranos this guy?" After a long time, George VI finally broke the silence and looked out the window and asked without looking back.
"Eloquent and strategic, with the world in mind."
"In that case, you can arrange for me, I'm going to meet with Ouranos." George VI seemed to have regained his former vigor and gave orders to John as if John were his courtier.
John looked at George VI's back, bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." (To be continued.) )
