Chapter 1828: Right or Wrong
Being teased by the old duke's jokes, I was embarrassed, shook my hand again and again, and said, "You old man is really good, you always joke about your juniors, it's too improper." β
The old duke laughed nonchalantly.
After the orc king and the orc queen were seated separately, the Prime Minister Lesta sat down cautiously, and as for me, I could only stand.
No, the qualifications are not enough, the seniority is still young, it is already good to have a place to stand, I didn't see that when Prime Minister Lesta was sitting, he was just the tip of his butt against the chair, and he didn't dare to sit down at all.
The orc king saw that I was standing aside in an orderly manner, not only without a word of complaint, but also with an indifferent smile on his face, he was very satisfied, waved his hand at the moment, beckoned the attendant to bring a small chair, set it up under the seat of the Prime Minister of Lesta, and then said loudly: "Sit." β
"Yes," I obeyed, and sat down in a proper manner.
Seeing this, the old duke joked again: "Why did you kid suddenly become so obedient, like a quail?" β
I smiled bitterly at him, and did not speak, but looked at the orc king and the orc queen, and said in my heart that the old duke is mocking your son-in-law, why don't you two help to talk?
The orc queen laughed silently.
The orc king originally wanted not to squeak, but when he saw my aggrieved expression, he couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "The old duke should stop mocking Xiao Yi, he is now my son-in-law, so he naturally has to behave towards me." β
"Huh?" The old duke raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise: "Son-in-law? Why haven't I heard which daughter you married this kid on? β
"It's not consummated yet, but the relationship has been decided," the orc king said, "so I didn't notify you in advance." β
"That's it," the old duke's face softened slightly, and said, "Such a good opportunity to drink, if you dare not tell the old man, I won't follow it!" β
I suddenly remembered that the old duke was afraid of guilt, it seemed that the last time he returned from victory, the old duke wanted to be greedy for a few more glasses, but he was yelled back by his wife, and he never dared to dip a drop of wine again.
Later, I heard that the old duke was a drunkard when he was young, and his alcohol consumption was not inferior to that of old man Taylor.
The old duke quickly regained his spirit again, he looked at me skewedly, and said with a smile: "Hey, boy, which princess of Your Majesty is going to be your wife?" β
This question is too confusing to ask, and I can't answer it, and I don't answer it, so I have to ask the orc king for help again.
The orc king also had a crying and laughing expression.
If this question were asked by someone else, the orc king would immediately sink his face, say presumptuous, and then order someone to throw him out of the palace.
But it was the old duke who asked this question......
Not to mention the close relationship between the old duke's family and the Fergus family, they have long been like a family, and the old duke himself has successively assisted the grandfather and father of the current orc king, and even the savior of their family.
The current orc king also treats the old duke as a father, and from time to time he is invited into the palace, or personally visits the old duke's house.
This move was quite hotly discussed in Dasai City, some people thought that the orc king was benevolent, some thought that he was putting on a show and wanted to win more people's hearts, and some people felt that the old duke held the power of the army, which made the orc king jealous and had to do so.
But the truth is only known to us insiders - the orc king really treats the old duke as a father.
And the old duke naturally took care of the orc king as his own son, which can be seen from the two scenes of the soldiers coming to Eri City and the soldiers coming to Yorkhan City.
Although the former seems to be to save me from Carter Horton, and the latter to bring justice to the enslaved foreigners, in fact, both of these measures are intended to prove that Dasai City's military strength is still enough to compete with any one, or even two, nations.
This also invisibly consolidates the fact that the national strength of Dasai City has not declined, and it also confirms that the current orc king is not a lamb to the slaughter, and the reason why he ignores the small actions of your two countries is just because he wants to govern the world with benevolence and righteousness, and he is a generation of benevolent and righteous kings.
In order to defend the power of the Fergus family, the old duke can be said to have fought desperately.
Similarly, when facing the Orc King, he behaves like a rugged father.
Unabashed words, undisguised temper, these are all headaches for the orc king.
But what can I do with a headache, I can only suffer it for life, who told myself to treat him as a father.
The Orc King smiled bitterly and said, "It's my youngest daughter, Fergus Cagalli." β
"Oh" The old duke's eyes lit up, and then he laughed and said, "I remember, I remember, it turned out to be that little Nizi, when she was a baby, I also hugged her, but she mercilessly." β
As he spoke, the old duke slowly restrained his laughter and said with emotion: "So many years have passed, and that little Nizi has also reached the age of being able to marry, by the way, I remember, the last time I saw that little Nizi was when she was twelve years old, she was originally a little girl, but she yelled all day long to become an adventurer, establish a guild, and trample her brother under her feet, haha, what a naΓ―ve and happy time, I just don't know if this little Nizi's Mowgli fairy tale will come true." β
The old duke exhaled lightly, looked at me, and said slowly: "Xiao Yi, Cagalli, has she established a guild?" β
"Yes," I said, "The Fearless Guild was established by her, and although I am now the honorary president, the actual guild initiative is still in her hands." β
"Fearless Guild...... Fearless Guild ......" The old duke pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Why haven't I heard this name?" β
"Surely you haven't heard of it," I said, "it's a small guild." β
"Small guild," the old duke sighed, regretfully, "that Cagalli wants to trample her brother under her feet, but it is not easy to achieve." β
I glanced at the Orc King, and saw that he had a helpless expression, and waved his hand at me slightly, indicating that he was powerless, and whatever he asked, you can say anything.
Pursing my lips, I sighed helplessly, and said truthfully: "Actually, you don't need to be so disappointed, the members of the guild are not more than many, as long as their personal strength meets the standard, or even exceeds the standard, Cagalli's goal is still easy to achieve." β
"That's what I said, no one, how can there be money......" The old duke paused, and then laughed: "I forgot, you are the righteous son of Master Dewey and his only heir, how can you have no money." β
I nodded, shook my head again, and said, "Hmm...... What you said is also right and incorrect. β
"Oh?" The old duke smiled and asked, "Then you should tell me, where am I right and what am I wrong?" β
