Chapter 1959: Accountability
Looking at the attendants who trotted over, my heart trembled: they actually came to take the initiative to greet me, it seems that the orc kings are really in a hurry.
Sure enough, as I expected, the expressions of the two chamberlains were extremely nervous, and they told me that His Majesty was very angry and asked me to be more careful.
Along the way, my heart was full of apprehension.
It's not that I'm panicking because of the Orc King's anger, but because I don't know the reason for the Orc King's anger.
God knows if his old man has discovered that there is no coffin of the owner of the tomb in the mausoleum, and if his old man uses this incident as an excuse to make things difficult for me, what should I do?
If I tell the truth and confess to Master Dewey, maybe my father-in-law will get in the way of Master Dewey's face and take advantage of me, but he will definitely tell Cagalli about this matter through unknown means, and then the matter will be a big deal.
I'm not afraid of the orc king's punishment, but I'm afraid that Cagalli will be awkward, this girl is not as good-looking as her father, she is good at playing all kinds of tricks, and she has always adhered to the life philosophy of 'I can do it as little as possible'.
Therefore, the name of Master Dewey must not be used.
In that case, I have to come up with a lie that will fool the Orc King without letting the old Duke and Prime Minister Lesta see it.
But what kind of lies can keep them out of sight?
My eyes twitched, and I sighed in my heart: It's hard to lie.
At this moment, the orc king was sitting on the stone bench in the back garden, with a solemn expression.
Beside him, the Orc Queen held a quiet cat in her arms, and the cat stared at me as I had just stepped through the door.
Far away, I noticed that the cat's eyes were of different colors, and the depths of the pupils shimmered with brilliance.
This is not an ordinary cat.
Looking at the orc queen's expression again, she was still as kind and graceful as usual, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a little more meaning.
Except for the orc king and his wife, there is no one else in the entire back garden.
I beat a drum in my heart, hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed down, and said, "Weichen An Xiaoyi, I have seen Your Majesty, the Queen." ”
The orc king snorted coldly and did not speak, but the orc queen on the side smiled and said: "It's all your own family, why bother to be polite, come, Xiao Yi, sit here." ”
"Yes."
I answered, glancing at the Orc King's expression, and seeing that he had no objection, I hurried between the two and sat down cautiously on the stone bench.
The orc queen stroked the cat and asked in a deep voice, "How was the rest of the past two days?" ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty and the Queen, I have a good rest."
"That's good," the orc queen said, "Xiao Yi, don't hide it from you, in the past two days, my husband and I haven't rested very well." ”
When I heard this, my heart twitched: what should come is still coming...... Let's wait and see what happens.
So, pretending to have an expression of not knowing anything, he asked, "Weichen is bold, please make it clear to Her Royal Highness the Queen." ”
The orc king snorted coldly again, slapped the table with his palm, and shook the teacups on the table, which scared the cat in the arms of the orc queen, and the hair exploded, but even so, the cat still didn't say a word, and shrunk in the arms of the orc queen tremblingly.
To be honest, I was also taken aback by the coercion that the Orc King had just released, but fortunately, I had been mentally prepared, so I didn't lose my temper.
The orc queen glanced at the orc king with disgust: "Don't be so impatient, it's all scared of Xiao Yi." ”
The orc king pursed his lips, glanced at his wife, then glared at me again, and said, "It's good to scare him, so that he knows etiquette!" ”
"Xiao Yi is a wandering adventurer, it's normal to not understand some etiquette, he is a sensible child, as long as he teaches well, I believe he will soon be able to learn" The orc queen looked at me lovingly, turned to the orc king, and said angrily: "Besides, your education method is also problematic, what's the use of being strict, do you still want to educate Xiao Yi to be a rebellious character like Cagalli?" ”
"This kid is much more rebellious than our Cagalli!" The orc king pointed at me and said angrily.
"Then tell me, what is Xiao Yi rebellious?" The orc queen looked at her husband indifferently and said unhurriedly.
"He ......"
The orc king, with an angry expression, stretched out his thick index finger and pointed at me fiercely, but he couldn't say a second word for a long time.
"It's just because you lost face that you became angry with Xiao Yi" The orc queen said slowly: "How many times have I told you, if you want to hold a celebration banquet, you have to notify the parties in advance, you are good, you never listen, but now you throw the responsibility on Xiao Yi's head." ”
Celebration feast?
When I heard these three words, my nervous mood instantly relaxed, and at the same time, I roughly guessed what was going on.
The orc king is a monarch with a good face, as a son-in-law, after discovering the mausoleum, not only did not monopolize the treasures, on the contrary, but contributed the treasures to his old man, this selfless dedication, naturally made the orc king dragon Yan happy.
The orc king, who was in a good mood, immediately put on a celebration banquet, thinking that I would rush to the palace as soon as possible and go to the banquet together.
But who would have thought that because of the meteorite incident, I would delay the rush to the palace by mistake.
The banquet went on as usual, but the main lord did not show up for a long time, which made the orc king very faceless.
As for why no one has come to inform me, it is estimated that the orc king made a bet before the banquet that even if no one sent me to inform me, I would come and something.
All in all, the end result was that I didn't show up, and the orc king lost face.
The orc king, who was constantly preached by the orc queen, kept staring at me with those bull's eyes, staring at me with a creepy look, but he didn't dare to get up and leave, so he had to bear it silently.
Finally, the Orc Queen's preaching was over, and the Orc King and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
But then, the bull's eyes of the orc king glared at him: "I admit that part of the responsibility for this matter lies with me, but Xiao Yi, you also keep in mind for me that after doing any good things in the future, you must meet me as soon as possible, this is not only the rule of being a courtier, but also the duty of a junior!" ”
I lowered my eyebrows and said, "Yes, I know that I was wrong." ”
Seeing that I had admitted my mistake, the orc king's face was still ugly, but his tone of voice softened somewhat.
Soon, he mentioned the conversation I had with Fergus Illidan in the mausoleum.
"I heard that Illidan kid discussed with you in the graveyard about the value of artillery, but is that so?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
The Orc King nodded: "I've also heard that you suggested that Illidan play to me and propose mass production of artillery to defend the country?" ”
"Yes, I have a suggestion for that."
"Well, Xiao Yi, tell me, in your eyes, the walls of my Dasai City are so fragile?"
