Chapter 1916: Lionheart Bloodline (3)

The night is getting darker.

At the soldier's notice, a young man was led to the Admiral's office. Admiral Penzance had been waiting for the young man there, so when he walked in, the Admiral didn't look particularly surprised.

"What a bold idea, Admiral. Arthur walked into the room and opened the door automatically so that no one outside the door could hear their conversation: "What is the purpose of you asking me to go and see a crazy witch and make her talk nonsense to me?"

"Oh, did Miko [babble] to you, what did she tell you?" replied the Admiral calmly.

"For example, I'm a descendant of Edward. Arthur lowered his voice and said, "For example, you want me to take back the throne that belongs to me." ＂

"Oh, so interesting?"

Arthur pulled out a golden finch pendant from his pocket, which was a token given to him by the shrine maiden.

"Oh------!" Admiral Penzance let out a low exclaim, "the shrine maiden has sworn to protect this token with her life, and will never easily call it into the hands of those who do not deserve it. Now that you've got this token, it seems that your identity is indeed ------"

"Can't it be that I killed the witch and grabbed this token?" Arthur interrupted.

"Huhuhu, you can't kill her, I'm sure of that. Admiral Penzance smiled indifferently.

"So...... What should I do next?" Arthur asked, his voice lowered, "Do you want to kill ------ directly?"

"Wow!" At that moment, someone suddenly slammed in through the door, interrupting the conversation between Arthur and Admiral Penzance.

The intruder was a child of seven or eight years old, and Arthur seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Oh yes, Arthur remembered. Isn't this the same imp who wanted to "buy" Beddie from Arthur before?

Why is this kid in the Admiral's castle? Looks like this imp must be the child of some nobleman?

"What are you doing here, Your Majesty?" said Admiral Penzance, rising from his seat and asking the child.

(Your Majesty?)

"Shhhhhh

"Whew. The old man didn't say anything, but smiled meaningfully and pressed on a secret compartment next to his bookcase. The mechanism in the bookcase then opened, and inside was a small secret room just big enough to hide a person.

"Thanks, I owe you. The imp went into hiding, and Admiral Penzance closed the mechanism of the bookcase and hid the child.

"Hmm------" At this time, another middle-aged woman dressed as a noble lady broke in outside the door, and as soon as she entered, she looked around, but she quickly checked the whole room, and immediately bowed to Admiral Penzance without losing courtesy: "Good evening, Lord Admiral Penzance." Have you ever seen Your Majesty? He had obviously run this way, but in a blink of an eye, he was gone. ＂

He should have run towards the hallway across from the office, where there was a more secluded staircase that led to the rooftop. Admiral Penzance said.

"I see, this castle is a labyrinth full of secrets. The woman saluted again, "I'll go look for it." Excuse me, Lord Admiral. Good night. ＂

Then the woman turned and went out the door, and after walking gracefully for a short distance, she began to run.

"Hmm...... Arthur couldn't help but snort, "Did you just say [Your Majesty]'......?"

"Yes. Hiding in it is His Majesty Henry VI, King of England. Admiral Penzance cast his gaze to the bookcase, as if intending to turn on the bookcase.

Arthur, however, had already intercepted the Admiral's movements first, and walked up quickly, his hand already pressed on the hilt of his sword.

There is nowhere to find iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!

Arthur had come to England for the sake of the imp. As long as the current king of England is killed, the country will inevitably fall into a turmoil, and then it will no longer be able to invade France. In this way, the Hundred Years' War would be stopped, and there would be no need for Joan of Arc to continue leading the French resistance, and she would be freed from her responsibilities.

In this way, Joan of Arc may be willing to go back with Arthur, to Britain nine hundred years ago.

As long as you kill this little ghost, Arthur's journey will be over!

"Don't get excited, young man. Admiral Penzance, however, held Arthur's palm with one hand and prevented him from drawing his sword from unsheathing: "All you want to hurt is a child." And everything you do is meaningless. ＂

"Why do you say that?" Arthur's killing intent at this moment was actually as thick as darkness, permeating the entire room, even if he didn't know how to observe words, he would probably have already noticed it. Arthur, with a fierce eye, even had plans to kill Admiral Penzance as well, if Admiral hadn't done that series of small actions before.

But Arthur, out of curiosity, wanted to hear what the Admiral had to say. It was the Admiral who asked Arthur to go to see Mego's nurse, and it was the Admiral Penzance who secretly instigated Arthur to seize power and become the king of the country. Now the Admiral has prevented Arthur from assassinating King Henry VI of England, and what he has done is full of contradictions.

"Come on, take a step and speak. Then the Admiral said, and paced himself to the window.

At this time, Arthur could already open the mechanism of the bookcase, and stabbed Henry VI to death with a sword the moment the secret room opened. But instead of doing so, he followed the Admiral with curiosity.

"That kid is just a puppet. Admiral Penzance whispered, "He is a puppet king who has been raised by several nobles of the royal palace. If they can raise one imp to be the king, they can raise another. Even if you kill that child, it's useless. If Mr. Aslan, you really intend to get this country, you can't kill people impulsively now. You need better planning to get power little by little. ＂

"So?" Arthur asked coldly, "Lord Admiral, you think too highly of me. How do you know that I must be interested in getting this country, and not just want to destroy it all and watch it burn to the ground?"

"Oh, hehehe, I know you won't, Mr. Aslan. I know you won't. Admiral Penzance stroked his beard with a smile as he cast his gaze on a portrait in the distance: "True kings know how to judge the hour and do only what is best for them. I know your purpose is not to ruin the country. Even if you destroy this country, it won't necessarily achieve your goal, will it?"

Arthur's first reaction was to make fun of Admiral Penzance, and with the unsheath of his sword, he killed both Admiral and Henry VI present.

But he thought about it for a moment, and felt that the Admiral's words were not unreasonable. There was no point in killing Henry VI, the people who really controlled the power of the country, who used the boy as a puppet, as a pretext for invading France, were actually still operating in the shadows somewhere in England. Arthur can kill one king, and they can elect another. They could say that Arthur was a killer sent by France, and found an excuse to further invade France. They want to invade a country, and there can be an infinite number of excuses. None of this can be solved by just assassinating a child.

"I don't know what you came to this country with in mind. Seeing that Arthur's murderous aura had subsided considerably, Admiral Penzance continued, "But I know that you and I dislike this war as much as I do. I think it's quite possible that you're here to stop the war. That's why you and I have a common language.

Penzance was originally a beautiful port city, it was so full of life, and it was filled with the laughter of the people all day long. However, the war changed all that, as the able-bodied men were brought in to the army, and the government forced large quantities of food and supplies every month, leaving the people of Penzance exhausted. Those selfish aristocrats want to ruin the city in pursuit of more power, and I have to do something.

You don't need to destroy this country, Mr. Yaslan. It had long since been burned in an invisible fire, and it was almost burned away, and it collapsed like a ruin. You can't destroy what is being destroyed, Mr. Aslan. Unless------"

"Unless I work with you to uproot our common enemy, right?" Arthur blinked.

"There is nothing wrong with your understanding, Mr. Aslan. Admiral Penzance smiled indifferently: "Now, can I release His Majesty the King?"

It was only by this time that Arthur's hand was released from the hilt of his sword.

"I sincerely hope you have a good plan, Lord Admiral Penzance. He said, "You see, I am a person who is extremely impatient. If things don't go the way I expected, your head will move early. ＂

"I am fully aware of the risks. The Admiral pressed the dark compartment on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf began to open slowly: "From the moment I received the news that Mr. Aslan had eliminated the Red Death, I knew that you were a person to be messed with. ＂

(So he knows.) ）

(He knew that he had deliberately found Arthur.) ）

"Whew!" the child peeked out of the back room of the bookshelf and breathed a sigh of relief, "Is Miranda finally gone? Thank you so much, Admiral." I thought I was going to be caught by Miranda and taken to the shower this time. ＂

"It is necessary to maintain good personal hygiene, Your Majesty. The Admiral smiled kindly: "But tonight, please rest assured that Your Majesty should rest." ＂

"Ah!" the imp exclaimed, when he saw Arthur, "isn't this the big brother who brought the big wolf dog to-day? ＂

"Not really. Arthur replied casually, "Just a temporary partner." ＂

"Hmm...... I don't understand. The boy tilted his head and said, "Then I should go too." Good night everybody!"

Then the boy ran away.

"How long will he stay in your castle?" asked Arthur in a low voice, looking at Henry VI in the distance.

"Your Majesty is just here to escape the summer, and after a few days of play, you will go back to London. Don't hit his idea anymore, it's useless. The Admiral replied, "I think you're tired too, Mr. Aslan." I have ordered someone to prepare a clean wing room for you in the castle, and you can move in at any time and have a good rest. ＂

"No, you don't. Arthur said, "I have already found a room in the hotel outside, and I have paid for it, so I can't live in vain." I can't get used to living in your castle, there are too many idlers. ＂

"Then do whatever you want, Lord Aslan. "The Admiral didn't keep Arthur.
