Chapter 79: Betrayal
Charles had already understood the general idea, but he was still a little younger, and what he could think of was relatively simple.
In his cognition, these two groups of people are afraid that sooner or later they will make trouble, but after Sarah's troubles, the conflict has intensified in advance, and they may not appear at the celebration under this trouble.
He was more worried now about whether the feathered orcs who flew away would cause trouble, after all, looking at the direction they flew away just now, Charles could somewhat predict that it was the direction of the so-called suburban inn.
"Where's the inn?"
"Your Highness over there, don't worry, after the people of the Central Empire change their identities and move in, the surroundings will be controlled by us. ”
"Hand her over to me. Father, you can take care of the yourself!" Charles did not explicitly ask McCann not to report to Silas.
The main reason is that McCann, as the leader of the dark guard this term, is loyal to his father, the wolf king Silas, not him, even in front of Silas, McCann has always been respectful to him, and it is not something he can easily order.
Secondly, Charles felt that he needed to find out from Sarah's mouth as soon as possible why his little sister was playing pranks on the envoys in the embassy, so that when their father was mad, he would have a direction to help his sister intercede.
McCann looked at his niece who was tied up in a lump, held his breath and hesitated for a moment, but finally flew to the castle to report to Silas.
Charles directly asked Walter to carry Sarah and went straight to Samuel's house.
When he arrived at Samuel's house, Charles learned that what McCann had just said at the door of the embassy was not all for the envoys of the Feather Kingdom.
His father was indeed receiving the old Marquis of Casa who had retired and moved back to live in the royal city, while his uncle was here to help entertain the retired generals who returned to the royal city with the old Marquis of Casa at the same time.
Although these people used to have low official positions and could not enter the royal court, almost every one of them had one or two small military exploits.
Now that he is old, he came back with the old marquis who had been loyal for half his life, although he did not need the help of the royal family to settle it, but in order to show his gratitude to these people for protecting the land for many years, Samuel, as a prince, it was also necessary to treat them.
This kind of thing happened to almost every generation of old marquis who guarded the frontier and held military power when he returned to the royal city, and it was already a common practice in the kingdom.
In this way, with a bat tied into a rice dumpling, or a secret guard who has already pledged allegiance to Luna, Charles will not be able to go through the main gate again, and it will not be good for the veterans to see it, so he can only let the butler go to the back door and wait for him.
"Why did Your Highness come here at this time?" Gotte, who couldn't stand the noise of those people and ran to the kitchen alone to find food, looked at the team of guards and Charles who were led in by the butler through the back door, and Sarah who was tied up, and couldn't help but wonder.
"Mr. Gotte......" Charles looked at Gotte, hesitated for a moment, and told the old orc in front of him the general story.
After all, the matter involves Luna, and Gotte is Luna's teacher, coupled with the respect that their daddy Silas has consistently shown to Gotte, Charles feels that it is necessary to pull the old goat on the other side into the gang, so that his sister will not be punished too harshly by his father, which can be regarded as adding a layer of protection to Luna.
Listening to Charles's brief narration of the matter, Gotte's eyes flashed with interest, and he couldn't help but paced around Sarah a few steps, squatted down, poked Sarah's bat face with his fingers, and asked, "What did little Luna tell you?"
Looking at the old goat with an unserious face in front of her, although she knew that this was Luna's teacher, Sarah didn't have the slightest idea of speaking.
"Tsk, that's kind of interesting. Gotte looked at Sarah's appearance, not only did he not feel that he was being looked down upon by a little bat, but he was even more interested.
Charles looked at the two in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, inexplicably doubting that he wanted to pull Gott into the gang to protect his sister together, was it too naïve?
Sure enough, the next moment, Charles heard Gout suddenly say, "You are the bat that calculates little Luna, right?" I heard from the king that your mother has been sent away with her family. ”
As Gotte's words fell, Charles was a little stupid, and he really didn't understand why this bat had already pledged allegiance to Luna, and why his father had dug such a big trap for his sister.
You know, the Secret Guard has to keep them safe......
And the Secret Guard has already sworn allegiance to Luna, that is, her own unguarded people! If she has a grudge, then Luna is not very dangerous?
"Sir, are you telling the truth?!" Charles said nervously.
Gotte ignored him, and only looked fixedly at the little bat that had begun to struggle violently since he had finished speaking, and continued: "Do you want to say it now? You said, maybe, I can find a way to reunite you with your mother!"
"What you said is true?" Sarah, who had not said a word since she was caught by McCann, finally spoke.
"I never lie. Gotte's eyes were slightly dark, he looked at Sarah, and said seriously.
Charles, on the other hand, had only one thought in his head, the bat could never let her go back to Luna!
Even Walter couldn't help but look at Sarah a few more times, but it was as if he were looking at a dead man.
It's just because he knows that for the wolf clan, there is nothing more difficult to tolerate than betrayal.
"I told you, would you believe it?" Sarah didn't pay attention to this, and just stared at Gote for a moment, as if she could see through the old orc in front of her.
"Then you have to say it, and I'll judge for myself whether it's credible or not!" casually touched a small cake sprinkled with frosting from the dessert plate on the height, and said as he squatted and ate it.
"The princess told me to do that. After a moment's silence, Sarah said.
At this moment, her mother's premature old face and Luna's arrogant posture that night played out in Sarah's mind in turn, and a strange unknown pleasure quietly spread from her heart.
"Why?" asked Gotte, raising an eyebrow.
"Because she knows, the news that the envoy of the Feather Kingdom used to blackmail the king to cooperate is about her ......"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Charles heard this, almost using the fastest speed in his life, and grabbed Sarah's neck, that gaze seemed to eat people.
With the last time Luna eavesdropped on Silas's study, Charles immediately thought of the seriousness of what Sarah was talking about.
For the first time, Luna eavesdropped, and was able to say that she was naughty and ignorant, and there was already a discussion in the royal court about this.
If this eavesdropping is spread again, in order to save Luna's life, she will be sent to the Far North, where her grandfather will be raised, and there will be no possibility of returning to the royal city in the future!
