148 Uncovered, rewarded
"Lurking?"
"Disturbed and kind?"
"What's going on?"
"Does Valut still have any identity?"
As soon as Zhao Xin's voice fell, a wave suddenly broke in the hearts of everyone present.
Isn't the captain of the griffin team, who has been conscientiously carrying out missions for the kingdom and shedding his blood, not as it appears on the surface?
When Valut heard Zhao Xin's words, there was a slight panic in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it, and asked angrily at Zhao Xin calmly: "Why do you question my loyalty so much, since I joined the army and became the captain of the griffin team, I have carried out dozens of missions for Torlistine, you can't slander me like this!" ”
After listening to Valut's rebuttal, the ministers also calmed down and nodded, and they were also a little puzzled by what Zhao Xin said, and couldn't figure out why Zhao Xin would describe Valut like this.
"Oh? You say I slandered you? Zhao Xin smiled strangely when he saw this, "If you say it yourself, maybe you can have a good end, if you let me do it, it probably won't end so easily." ”
"Hmph, don't try to fool me, I have nothing to explain to you, the clear will clear himself!"
"Really? Then it's no wonder to me, Tabasha. Seeing that Valut was still stubborn, Zhao Xin didn't pay much attention to it, but instead called out to Tabasha, who was standing behind Dean Ottoman, who was walking with him.
It seemed that he had already received Zhao Xin's arrangement, Tabasha stepped forward directly, took out a ring from his arms and put it in Zhao Xin's hand.
"Now, Valut, do you know this ring?" Throwing away the ring in his hand, Zhao Xin smiled and looked at Valut, who had a somewhat bad face.
"I don't know this, but with just one ring, do you want me to confess to some trumped-up crimes?" Valut swallowed and stammered a little.
"It seems that you forcibly pretend that you don't know, and you don't give up if you don't see the Yellow River." After saying something that the people present couldn't understand, Zhao Xin explained, "Everyone, this ring actually has a name, called the Ring of Andbaria, maybe some people don't know, but I think the well-informed Dean Osman must know." ”
Osman was also startled when he heard the name of the ring, and was no longer silent: "The Ring of Andebalia, I have indeed heard of it, this is a ring that can control the soul of a human being. ”
"That's right, that's what the Ring of Andebalia does." In everyone's suspicious eyes, Zhao Xin looked at Princess An Rietta, "I believe that the late Prince of Wales of Albion knows that someone used this ring to control the soul of the dead Prince of Wales in the first place, and tried to use him to kidnap Her Royal Highness An Rietta, but fortunately Louise and Tabasha stopped him and took the ring away." ”
The fact that Ann Rietta was almost kidnapped was well covered, so the ministers present also exclaimed after hearing about it for the first time, and they were worried about the safety of the princess.
The old thing is brought up again, although it has come out of the haze, An Rietta still has a little sadness in her heart, and her expression is a little gloomy.
With a hint of apology on his face, Zhao Xin continued: "Having said so much, in fact, my purpose is very simple, Valut, you didn't say that you are innocent, then let any adult present use this ring to control you a little, and see if you are innocent." ”
"You guy" Valut's face turned pale when he saw Zhao Xin's plan.
"Why, don't you want to say it? That's what I'm going to do. Zhao Xin pressed closer, his gaze swept among the ministers present, as if he was looking for a suitable candidate, and then stopped his gaze on a majestic middle-aged man with blond hair.
This person is Zhao Xin's acquaintance, Ji Xiu's father, and the generalissimo of the kingdom.
After seeing Zhao Xin's candidate, Valut finally knew that there was no escape, and knelt down in front of An Rietta and the ministers.
In the end, Valuta slowly recounted that he was a spy of Goria and lurked in the kingdom of Toria, aiming to one day directly control Toristine and swallow the country that had been targeted by Goria for a long time.
In the middle, Valut also talked about several nobles like himself, lurking in Torlistine, and one of them was a minister who was present. The spy, who wanted to escape, was subdued on the spot by the generalissimo with a strong force value before he could act.
The more she listened, the more frightened she became, and immediately issued an order to send troops to capture and capture the spies scattered throughout the country.
After the matter was over, after sending Valut and the minister down, An Rietta looked at Zhao Xin, who had been watching from the sidelines: "You have solved a big hidden danger for the kingdom, my knight." Although the threat of Goria has been lifted, these spies will definitely become a major problem for us who are not aware of it in the country. ”
Zhao Xin shrugged his shoulders and said that these were nothing.
However, An Lietta did not think so: "For your merits, I have decided to hold a ceremony for you in the academy later, and confer you the title of marquis. At the same time, I will support your marriage to Louise, both in public and private. I think all the ministers here will agree with my decision. ”
Indeed, Angeletta's proposal was agreed to by everyone present, and without the obstacle of Valut, what could not be supported? As for the so-called identity of the demon, let's not talk about Zhao Xin's previous rhetoric, just take everything Zhao Xin has done for the country, it is enough to make others have nothing to say, and now he can be said to be the hero of the kingdom.
I didn't expect to get the title of a marquis, which is the highest title after the duke, and Zhao Xin's age is definitely the youngest of all the marquises.
I don't really care about that, but who doesn't love this useful identity?
After an hour of preparation, Zhao Xin accepted the reward of An Rietta and became the Marquis of Torlistine under the watchful eyes of the ministers and the students who stayed in the academy.
As a marquis, Zhao Xin also got a fief belonging to the nobles, but because the kingdom fief was a little nervous, the fiefs of the nobles who were undercover agents had not been dealt with, and now they only gave Zhao Xin a fief located in Oruni Ailu, which is a bit remote and is a small palace of King Torristeen in the past.
However, Zhao Xin didn't care much about this, as long as he built it around when the time came. And in this regard, An Lietta also arranged everything, and when the manor was ready, she could live in it.
After sending off An Lietta, it was already evening, and Zhao Xin had to return to the dormitory with the three daughters of Louise. As for accompanying Louise home to propose, it can only be arranged tomorrow.
