Chapter 55: King Puran
Chapter 55
"I'm sorry Baron Kellres, you can enter the palace, but the palace also has a rule that people who are not dressed properly cannot enter, so this retinue of yours."
At the entrance to the grand palace, the bridge over the moat has been lowered, and two swordsman-level warriors have stopped Kyrreth and Mario, who are about to enter the palace.
The two swordsmen are the elite of the royal guards of the palace.
They looked at Brother Mario very nervously, one hand always on the long sword, ready to draw out a battle with Brother Mario at any time.
Their Royal Guard is a direct force of the royal family, and their duty is to surround His Majesty, and in order to protect His Majesty, then they will definitely investigate all the existences that may threaten the King.
Naturally, this Mario brother will not be able to escape the investigation of the guards.
They knew that it was the entourage of the mysterious man named Zhang Youxing.
Through their own secret channels, they also learned that on the battlefield, an entire special operations group on the side of the Dongling Empire was lost in front of this strong and excessive person.
The two members of the guard understood that if the other party really wanted to break in, the two of them would definitely not be able to stop it, so before Kylereth brought Brother Mario over, the Royal Guard had already dispatched a full hundred people, including no less than ten great swordsmen and great magicians, hiding in the shadows and ready to fight with this Mario brother at any time.
The atmosphere seemed very tense to the Royal Guard, like a barrel of gunpowder, and the slightest spark would explode with a bang.
The guards hiding in the shadows all subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't worry, he won't come in, Mr. Mario, can you please wait at the door?" Kylereth said to Mario.
Brother Mario nodded silently, without saying anything, usually he remained silent.
So easy to talk to?
This relieved everyone in the Guard.
It seems that the other party did not come with malicious intent.
"That's the best, then please Baron Kelreth come with me into the palace, His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, and he has always said that he wants to meet his old friend."
Kylereth smiled.
His Majesty is now a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with whom Kereth had a friendly relationship in the palace in the past.
The two of them are kind of like that kind of older brother and younger brother.
Of course, neither side can say it explicitly, but the concept of superiority and inferiority is still very important in this world.
"I have also missed His Majesty for a long time, and I have brought him gifts." Kyleth said, shaking the delicate wooden box that had just been clipped to his waist.
"Please come with me, and Baron Kelres, let us take the gift for His Majesty the King first, and we will return it to you when you see the King."
Kylereth nodded, it was the duty of the guards, and anything that might come into contact with the king would definitely be checked by the guards first.
He handed the box to the guards, and followed the other towards the center of the palace.
The central location of the palace was the residence of the king.
Usually the king deals with things in a room a hundred meters in front of the king's residence.
And the regent lives in the side hall of the palace, and now because of the young age of His Majesty, the regent has taken the initiative to take over most of the things that need to be handled by the king, and the current king is much more leisurely, and this king is in his residence at this time.
"Your Majesty, we have brought the people."
"Please let him in."
There was some joy in the calm, indicating that His Majesty was in a good mood at the moment.
The guard who had just taken the gift from the Kelress box reappeared and handed it back to Kelress, their inspection had been completed, and the guard looked envious when he saw the contents.
"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Kyleth opened the door to his residence and said hello.
The immature voice inside quickly responded: "Kyleres, I'm glad you can come today, it's been almost half a year since we last met." ”
Kylereth walked into the King's quarters.
The king's residence was not as luxurious as expected, but a little more austere, which was very different from the ornate decoration outside.
This was the personal habit of the Puran king, who did not like the golden rooms.
In the room, Kylereth saw a child-looking child bouncing on a huge soft bed, and looked at Kylereth as he entered, full of joy.
In the eyes of outsiders, Puran would not dare to do this, because it would affect the prestige of his king.
But he is still a child after all, and he still has a strong childlike heart in his heart, and only when he is next to the most trusted person will Puran reveal this image that should belong to a child.
"Your Majesty, if you are seen by outsiders like this, there will be gossip again." Kyleth turned around and closed the door, then walked towards King Poulan.
"Don't mention that, Kyleres, I've heard my guards say that you seem to be doing something lately, and it's a very interesting thing, but when I want to ask deeper, the guards are silent again, which makes me itch, you're here today, you must tell me what you've been up to lately."
From the information revealed from Puran's mouth, Kyleth has already understood that the Royal Guard has also been infiltrated by the Regent, and they are now not only responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety, but also monitoring His Majesty and placing His Majesty under house arrest, right?
He still remembered that many of the people in the Royal Guard were trained by his father himself, but those people seemed to be missing now.
His status as a baron could only be powerless for this kind of thing, and even his father couldn't change the status quo now, let alone him.
But at this time, he suddenly thought of Zhang Youxing again.
Mr. You Xing's plan, as well as Mr. You Xing's strength, may be the straw that can really save the country.
"I did do some things out there, but it wasn't a big deal, I just picked up my old drawing skills and made a living out of them."
"Painting for a living? Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you? I remember that your father hated his children for doing anything other than being a soldier and a general, and was it really good to make a living by painting? It seems that there is not much soil for painters to survive in our country. ”
"Isn't my father in the palace now, he doesn't care about me now, and besides, what I'm painting now is not ordinary, and I just brought my results to show you, and it's also a gift from me."
