Chapter Seventy-Five: The Duke's Stratagem (2)

"......" The girl was silent and did not say a word.

"If this is the case, perhaps the most troublesome thing is that by the time we became aware of the problem, the so-called proclamation had already spread throughout the country, and the news of my marriage to Artoria had already been known to every citizen of Britain. In such a situation, it is impossible to cancel the wedding, and you can only accept the existing arrangements. Otherwise, it will be a backtrack, and the people will never agree. Following Skaha's train of thought, I continued.

Skaha chuckled, and Quan deserved to acquiesce to my claim.

"......" I felt a chill in my heart.

…………

"Duke of Cornwall, you really want to take the throne of my king?!" Bedwell, who was standing on the side, couldn't help it, raised his head and scolded angrily, "For so many years, how deep is my king's faith in you? That's how you repay my king? ”

Bedwell usually has a steady and easy-going personality and usually does not lose his temper. Therefore, once she is angry, it means that she is really angry.

…………

"Sir Bedwell, as you say, you have known me for many years. You should know all too well what kind of person I am. In the face of the accusation, the Duke of Cornwall did not blush, his heart did not beat, and his tone was not hurried, "But now you prefer to believe the baseless words of outsiders, and choose to doubt my loyalty to the king." This seems even stranger to me! ”

"Damn, I ......," Bedwell gritted his teeth, but could not say anything.

Indeed, the Duke of Cornwall's reputation for integrity and wisdom over the years has been known throughout Britain and is not something that can be easily shaken.

“…… It's ridiculous, after all, I'm also a member of the Pendragon family. Such a ridiculous thing as seizing the throne of his younger brother and daughter is afraid that only those villains who tell right and wrong can think of it. Rolling his eyes to Skaha, the Duke of Cornwall let out a sneer.

"Your Majesty, as your courtier, your subordinates have long put life and death aside, and all their lives can be put at your disposal!" Finally facing the girl, kneeling heavily on his knees, the Duke of Cornwall knelt down deeply on the ground and said emotionally, "Usually even if someone frames his subordinates, the subordinates will never refute them, because rumors stop at the wise, and a wise man will never listen to them." But today there are people who doubt your subordinates' loyalty to you is tantamount to questioning your inability to convince everyone. If this statement is not curbed, the disrepute of the subordinates themselves will be small, and the city lords of Britain, who have not taken a firm position, will take the opportunity to rebel. For the sake of the stability of Britain, I beseech the king to make a just judgment now! ”

…………

The Jedi Strikes Back, nothing more!

With the conspiracy fully uncovered, the Duke of Cornwall can be said to be in a certain death situation. But he was so clever that he bit Bedwell and Skaha at the same time, and finally didn't forget to make a fake performance in front of the girl!

If there were no events outside the city, I am afraid that anyone would be easily confused by them.

I finally understood why a proud Skaha would praise him as "worthy of the Duke of Cornwall".

This extremely calm state of mind, as well as extremely strong adaptability, is really only seen in my life!

…………

"Well said, even I'm going to be touched by you." Clapping his palms slightly, Skaha sat down and slowly stepped out of his seat, "How long have you been planning for this day?" If it weren't for Lily's reputation for many years, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by you without realizing it, right? ”

"Your Majesty, this person deliberately slanders his subordinates and you, you must not be led astray by him!" The Duke of Cornwall's head was lowered, and he did not give up loudly arguing for himself, "Even if your surname changes, the only person who the people can agree with can only be you, and absolutely no one can take power from your hands." In addition, you and the descendants of Lord Emiya can continue to retain the surname 'Pendragon' and have the same right to inherit the throne in the future......"

"Enough!" The girl's loud shout completely blocked his words after that, "The future succession to the throne is a matter that only the king is qualified to decide, and Qing dares to meddle in this matter?!" ”

"Your Majesty...... The subordinates are just ......," the Duke of Cornwall couldn't help but be stunned.

…………

"Your plan is perfect." Skaha's voice came softly, "It's a pity that I missed a little." ”

As he spoke, Skaha's right hand was clenched forward, and a faint purple light appeared in it.

"Smack-" A thunderclap of lightning sounded.

The next moment, Skaha had an extra figure in his hand.

…………

On closer inspection, it was a young man in brand new armor with curly black hair. Skaha was holding his neck armor in one hand, keeping his feet off the ground and hanging in the air.

This man was the young man outside the city who claimed to be the son of the Duke of Cornwall. It should have been that he was suddenly uncomfortable with the Skaha spatial transfer magic, and he seemed dazed, and his eyes were not fully open.

The weight of an adult and the quality of the armor itself were not to be underestimated, but to Skaha it was as easy as no weight.

…………

Skaha threw the young man to the ground at random.

"Uh-huh......!" The young man's body fell heavily to the ground, and he was somewhat conscious from the impact.

"Bastard! Who dares to drop the young master! Don't you know, young master, my father is the Duke of Cornwall? You've got ten heads that don't get enough to lose! "The first action of the young man after regaining consciousness was to scold.

But after seeing Skaha's face and figure clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely.

…………

Seeing the young man appear, the Duke of Cornwall suddenly showed a look of disbelief.

"Groris, this man says he is your son, the new king of Camelot. Is it true? In an indifferent tone, the girl looked at the Duke of Cornwall.

“…… Your majesty, your subordinates don't know this man. Glancing deeply at the young man, the Duke of Cornwall gritted his teeth and replied.

"That's it. This man ran against my king outside the city, and he was ordered to be put to death immediately. Bedwell said awe-inspiringly, "Someone, take this outlaw down and prepare for execution!" ”

…………

As Bedwell's words fell, two heavily armed guards suddenly rushed into the council hall, and the young men were dragged down with one left and one right.

"Wow, who are you, what do you want to do to the young master?!" The young man who had been talking to Skaha with a straight face just now was suddenly frightened and even cried, "Woo woo, don't beat me, my father has a lot of money...... You can choose a lot of positions......"

"Wait!" The Duke of Cornwall shouted, his upright body leaning down deeply towards the girl again, "Your Majesty, please allow your subordinates to interrogate this person first." ”,
