Chapter 1: Azil McGee 2
Azir went to pour the wine again and said, "Let's have another drink." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Before attending the High Council, I don't have to be in line with so much wine. James said.
"it, I'm up to the rules. ”
"I'm afraid we'll have to be absent from parliament if we continue like this. ”
Azir took a sip of his wine, and the good wine was just right to wake up. The bitterness fades away, leaving behind the acidity and sweetness of the liquor. Azir exaggerated his nasal voice of approval and said, "If you had half a year to live, what would you do?"
"I think I'm going to die drunk until I can't remember my timeframe. ”
"That's right, that's a good point. What are you doing in a daze? You're not going to leave your king hanging out for a suffocating bar?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do next......"
The council room of Platinum Castle is not large, and it was originally used as a room for the emperor and his cronies to discuss important matters, and the round table with a rich historical atmosphere has not been replaced. The round table was designed to hold the battle map, and the chairs scattered around it could seat fifteen people. However, there are almost no full seats, and the Supreme Council now has only nine seats, and there is often a shortage of heads.
Before the dissolution of the Senate, as many as 100 members of parliament were present, from all walks of life in the empire. For the sake of the Senate, the Empire established a Senate specifically north of Fort Platinum. It was a tower, each floor with its own unique purpose, and some of the resident councillors lived in it. Before it was disbanded, its final decision was to appoint Azir as King of Rant. He is in charge of the empire's territory and leads his soldiers to restore the empire's former glory.
The three Holy Spirit Knights and Azir's son, Padraic McGee, the Hand of the King, seemed to be waiting unhurriedly for the rest of the councillors to arrive.
Sam Pendragon said, "Again, they're late, and they're treating us like ornaments?"
"Nobody treats anyone as an ornament, be patient. My father has a lot of opportunities, and I'm afraid there are still a lot of things at hand that have not been resolved. Padraic said.
"Of course, we don't doubt that. Kerry Romeo said, "Your Majesty has a lot of chance, but why didn't the other knights show up?"
Samuel Wesley explains: "As you know, Hugo Nicholas never participated in the High Council, he thinks...... Parliament is useless and a waste of time. Mr. Blake Grantham, captain of the Pillow Guard, considered himself ignorant of anything other than combat, and resigned from the High Council. ”
"I know the reason for both of them, but why didn't James Ramsden and Martin Marcellus show up?" Sam said angrily.
"Mr. Marcellus seems to be seriously ill, and he trusts His Majesty in the execution of all his powers. Padraic said, "As for Mr. James, I don't know why?"
Just then, a soldier helped the drunken King Azir into the council room.
"My loyal men!" the drunkenness made Azil's voice yin and yang.
James then came in and took the king, who was almost unsteady on his feet, and said to the soldiers, "You are allowed to leave. ”
"Retire......" the soldier whispered.
Padraic hugged his father with concern and said, "Father, you are so drunk, I don't think you have to be forced to attend the council." ”
James was not drunk, and the voice in his fat neck was still in good order: "It is necessary for the king to be present in court, and not just to interpret the authority of the law. It is also to convey that the king will not treat political affairs as child's play to fool children. ”
"Yes, Mr. James is right!" said Azir, drunkenly fumbling in his chair and sitting down, "even if I'm drunk, I'm smarter than most of you." Because those smart people, basically not sitting here, hahahaha......"
Sam clenched his fists and said, "Can Your Majesty still make a convincing decision?"
"That's a good question, uh......" Azir hiccuped, "I don't really need to make any decisions, you have to think about it, I just need to write my name on a piece of paper and do it." That's one of the reasons I love the High Council......"
"Then what is the point of the king's presence at this meeting?" said Sam, exasperated.
"The High Council is formed to make the right decisions when the king is uncertain. And His Majesty's arrival like this is also a test. Let's see if everyone here can make the best choice on their own. Carey said.
"You sing so well!" said Azir in a stumbling voice, "Do you think you are very clever? Tell me if you paced to the throne in the dead of night. Close your eyes, which are empty except for ambition, and imagine yourself sitting on a throne. I can almost see that scene, with a satisfied smile on your face, maybe not satisfied. Hahahaha......"
Everyone was stunned by Azir's words, and everyone looked at each other and didn't know where to look.
Sam Pendragon mocked Carey and said, "Now show me what is the best choice you will make." ”
Kerry Romeo's face was filled with a wry smile, a relief at one time, and a vague hatred in it.
Azir was very happy to see his expression, and was about to fall into the trap of Carrey when Samuel Wesley suddenly said, "Those who remain in this room must want to use their talents to serve their country." All the adults who weren't interested in it left the door and never walked in again. The loyalty of his subordinates to the king is two-sided, and the king should trust his subordinates, and the subordinates will return the loyalty to the king. Strong relationships should be built on tacit trust, and suspicion and deception can only lead to disintegration. So, Mr. Carey Romeo, are you loyal to Your Majesty?"
"There is no doubt that I owe allegiance to Your Majesty. With the Seven Holy Spirits and the One God, I will serve my king all my life with courage, skill, and wisdom. From the day I took the oath to the day I was on my last. Carey said.
"Hmph...... Azir chuckled, "Maybe I'm too nervous, everyone looks like an enemy." ”
Padraic said worriedly, "Father, you should consider relaxing. Maybe to go hunting, the father of the Dusac hunting palace in the west has not been there for a long time. ”
Azir was furious and said, "I'll have plenty of time to rest!
Padraic was taken aback, so he had to follow his father and say, "As you wish, father." ”
