Chapter 228: The King
"I'm not going to talk to you yet, I'll talk about it later. We're going to see the king. Peony took Boro to say goodbye and began to walk deeper into the venue.
Several men in solemn black dresses lined up on either side, and they should have looked like soldiers as well.
There was no one around, and everyone knew that it was the king's exclusive resting place.
"This is not a place for you to enter, please return to the prom grounds. One soldier stood up and spoke politely.
Peony handed over the letter in his hand.
Without leaking the same panicked expression as the soldier before him, he carefully read the entire letterhead.
"Who is Boro?"
"I am," Boro stepped forward and looked him straight in the eye.
"You can go in, and your dance partner will need to wait here for a while, but you can also choose to go to the venue for some sweets first. The soldier handed the letterhead to his companion behind him
"Follow me"
He led Boro into the interior.
Boro smiled at Peony, "Don't worry." ”
Peony nodded, she just hoped that Boro would not have the same mind as before.
"When you see Your Majesty, you can only stand twenty paces away and watch from a distance, and you must not jump further or your head will fall to the ground. There was no emotion in the soldier's words, and killing was the easiest thing for him.
"Twenty steps?"
"Go ahead. The soldier stopped and looked at a stone pavilion in front of him, where a man was sitting with his eyes closed.
Boro didn't understand how far the twenty paces were, but the soldiers on either side were full of solemn expressions, and their faces were expressionless, and they were more like wax men than the collections they mentioned.
"Fifty steps~" A voice came from the direction of the stone pavilion, and Boro turned his head to look at the distance he had walked behind him, "Fifty steps? Is it fifty steps away or have I already walked fifty steps?"
Patronized and left, and didn't care about counting steps.
"Thirty steps~"
Now Boro understood the meaning of the voice.
"Twenty steps!"
Boro wanted to see what would happen if he took another step forward, but his keen sense made him realize that if he moved even a small step forward, he would provoke the soldiers on both sides to slash him.
Nara walked over to the slightly older man, and he was the only one in the audience who dared to walk into the king's side, and even the personal guards were two paces away from the king.
"Your Majesty, the people are coming. ”
"Huh?" The king seemed to be asleep just now, and then he woke up, "Who's coming?"
"It's that friend of His Royal Highness Prince Xue Ren. ”
"Exorcists?"
"Yes," Nara replied, bowing her head respectfully.
The king narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Boro, "You, ten steps closer." ”
"Ten steps forward~" The voice from before appeared again, and Boro took ten steps forward without hurrying.
At this moment, his back could already feel the solemn vigilance of the soldiers on both sides of him, as well as the murderous intent in their hearts.
Not only that, but the six guards in front of him all had their eyes firmly fixed on them, and if they had any intentions, they would cut off their limbs and pierce their hearts in an instant.
"Sure enough, it is not an easy matter to assassinate the king. Boro thought to himself, but there was no trace of hatred in his eyes for the king in front of him.
It's all because he abandoned those people in the outer city, so that they can only be reduced to the rations of the devil.
And this kind of thing happens every year, and as the head of a country, he doesn't care about it. It's not that they don't know, they just don't want to care.
"You...... It's the exorcist, it's called~ What is it called?" His Majesty tapped his fingers on the stone table, unable to recall his name.
"Your Majesty's name is Boro. Nara reminded from the side
"Boro......" the king wrote down, "do you know Xue Ren?"
"Recognize. He was my first friend in the capital. Boro did not have the slightest cowardice in the face of the king's powerful aura, which made the guards around the king unbearable.
"Rude people! When you see Your Majesty, you don't kneel! You dare to look at the king with your humble status!"
"Captain Li" The king raised his hand slightly, "This king allows him to misbehave, you don't need to talk much." ”
"The last general is derelict in his duties!" Li Song immediately knelt down and bowed, but he didn't know what would happen to the king until he angered him.
"So, you already knew my son's identity before?" The king looked at Boro, "In a gown, I thought you were one of us." ”
Boro did not understand the meaning of the king's words, but he did not seem to have finished speaking.
"Since you already knew the identity of Prince Xue Ren, you still dare to associate with him. You...... What is the intention?"
The king's eyes were bright, and they did not match his current posture at all.
Boro looked directly at him, "Xue Ren and I are just friends, if there is any purpose, it is to let him take me to drink and watch the dance." After all, I probably don't have the right to be here. ”
Nara heard a hint of anger in Boro's tone, and he was slightly surprised that the exorcist dared to defy the king...... Interestingly, it's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
"Drink and watch the dance......" The king leaned forward, taking a step closer to Boro, and he carefully examined Boro's eyes.
Then he looked up and laughed, which puzzled the soldiers around him.
"You want to kill me!" The king stood up and pointed to Boro, "Is it!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding soldiers immediately drew their swords and surrounded Boro.
Boro secretly let go of his palm, he was no match for these people.
"No," Bourro adjusted his mind, now is not the time to be reckless.
"Then why does this king see anger in your eyes?"
"The King did see anger, but that was something I had honed when I was fighting the Demon Horns. Boro's tone was calm, and there was no uneasiness in his voice, as others had already knelt down and prayed to prove his innocence.
"You all stand down!"
The soldiers looked at the king but did not make eye contact with him, and took a few steps back.
"Come!" The king drew his sword from the stone table, walked up to Boro, and threw it at Boro's feet.
"Pick it up and kill this king!"
The king's voice was strong, and at this time he was less than two steps away from Boro.
"You are Xue Ren's father and my elder, I can't kill you. Boro glanced at the sword at his feet and picked him up from the ground. Turn the blade at yourself and return it to the king
The king furrowed one of his eyebrows, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Xue Ren's friend, it seems that this king is not a king in your eyes, but an ordinary uncle. ”
"Well, as your uncle, I ask you. Did you go to Noda two days ago, and what happened to you?"
Boro looked at the king for a long time.
