Chapter 643: Crowned with a trumped-up crime
The chief of the knights sat at the top of the drawing-room.
Aegler, on the other hand, stood in the middle of the living room.
The Knight Captain looked down at Aegrey below, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, while Aegre looked solemn and didn't say a word.
At first glance, it looked like Aeglay was being interrogated by the Knight Master.
But the reality is much the same.
"Aegler Saiat, the guilt of lying about the military and deceiving the Knights is not something that you, a small noble daughter, can bear."
The Knight Commander sat in a chair, crossed Erlang's legs, pinched the mustache on the side of his mouth with one hand, and looked at Egrey below with a gloomy face.
"I waited for the Knights to eat and sleep, and I traveled for two days in a row to come here, but what I saw was a peaceful scene, you should understand how sinful your behavior is to lie about the military situation, right?"
Which eye did this guy see that there was peace here?
Isn't it enough that I deliberately allowed the monsters to destroy and kill?
Ryusha thought so in her mind.
The entire town and surrounding villages were destroyed by more than eighty percent, and nearly 10,000 people were killed or wounded.
"I've already said it, Knight Chief."
Egrey stood straight in the center of the living room and replied with a fearless face: "Everything I said in the magic call is true, two days ago, there was indeed an army of monsters that attacked the Saiyan Territory, but thanks to the help of a powerful adventurer, the current situation has been controlled, however, there are still monsters left outside the city, you can send your knights to investigate, you can prove that what I said is true." ”
Although her answer was straightforward, there was indeed no lie in her words.
However, it is clear that this kind of rhetoric is not enough to deal with a high-level national who is deliberately finding fault.
"This does not hide the nature of our Knights' trip for nothing."
The Knight Commander didn't even look at her, his face was full of scorn, "Our Kingdom Knights are the highest combat power in the country, and they are not a team that can be easily dispatched, but this time it was made because you said that the situation was extremely serious. ”
"As long as I tell the king that you are deliberately luring the Knights out of the royal capital with the enemy, and that there is actually another conspiracy in secret, I can easily deprive you of your nobility and send you to prison."
The guy didn't even have the slightest intention of covering it up, and began to threaten Aegre in the open.
However, the status of the knight commander is far above that of a noble child of hers, even in the royal capital, he is also a high-level state with real power, as long as he says so, not many people dare to disagree with him.
In that case, even if Aegler is not guilty, I am afraid that she will be forced to sit on a trumped-up charge.
"Can you be considered a knight who protects the country?!"
Unsurprisingly, Egler burst out of her anger, her awe-eyed eyes glaring at the Knight Leader's righteous and awe-inspiring eyes, "Moreover, the Queen will not sit idly by and watch your plot succeed!" ”
When it comes to fighting, marching and fighting, Aegler is clearly a good hand.
But when it comes to politics, she doesn't know anything at all.
"How stupid, how could I have done such a thing if the Queen was still around? I'm kind enough to tell you, it's a coincidence that at the same time as I left the royal capital, the queen also left the royal capital, and now the king is handling the internal affairs in his place. ”
A smug smile appeared on the knight's head's face, and the two mustaches on his lips were raised high, "So no matter what you say, no one will believe it." ”
"But, of course, I don't want to do those troublesome things if I can, but you must know that I have a lot of knights under my command to support, and they have a lot of military achievements to take, but unfortunately because you lied about the military situation, you can only return empty-handed this time...... So, you know what I mean? ”
The Knight Commander spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "You have to pay a little bit so that I can make up for the dissatisfaction of my knights." ”
That's what he's for.
In other words, it is money, and it is enough to make up for the large amount of money of the entire Order.
Lord Saiyat himself is a powerful nobleman, and after many years of operation, he certainly has a very rich asset under his hands.
If he is still alive, with his powerful position, then even if the Knight Commander is red, he will not dare to rashly fight him.
But now he's dead.
I was very aggrieved and died in this disaster.
There is only a mountain of gold left for him to dig, so does he still have a reason not to do it?
As for Aegler? It's just the daughter of a nobleman, she has no strength, and she is good at playing with power, and he has a way to deal with this little girl, which is far from enough to make him feel jealous.
In fact, he had made this trip with the expectation of repelling this similar wave of calamity, so that he would be rewarded by the king and promoted to a position of power.
But this time the disaster was repelled by an unknown adventurer, and the credit was not obtained by the adventurer, and he didn't even gain a little bit?
In view of this, he naturally came up with the idea of fighting the autumn wind.
As long as you get all the assets of the Saiyat Territory, it is also a huge gain, no less than the reward you get from repelling the wave, and this hand can be described as quite witty.
in the living room.
The more the Knight Commander thought about it, the more smug he became, and he almost laughed out loud.
"I refuse!"
Below, just as the Knight Leader fell into delusion, Egre's cold words rang out, "The property left by my father is to be used to pay the adventurers who fight off the monsters, and to rebuild the town, and it will definitely not be left to a national moth like you!" ”
Egree had no intention of compromising and bluntly refused the Knight's Captain's request.
"That's a pity, it seems that you are indeed a spy for the enemy."
The head of the knights deliberately made a regretful appearance, and then said with pity: "Knights, take her down and put her in prison, and dispose of her at your disposal." ”
It didn't really matter if she said yes or not.
If he agrees, he can rightfully inherit the property of the Saiya Lord, and if he doesn't agree, he can also crown her with a trumped-up charge, and then raid the Saiyat Collar and still get the property.
In this way, even if the queen returns to the royal capital in the future, she will not be able to say anything more without evidence.
Egrey's face showed an extremely humiliated look, but her back was still straight, and she didn't even show a trace of reaching out and holding the long sword at her waist, obviously trying to resist to the death.
"Hey."
At the moment when the Knight Commander had just given the order to take Aegre down, a voice that could not be heard from outside the door reached the ears of several people in the living room.
"There's still a reward to be paid to me in that asset, so you don't plan to take it all away, do you?"
Likes the eighth crown, the eighth crown.
