Chapter 610: Rebel Thief
As soon as Generalissimo Quinn's words fell, everyone present showed envious eyes.
In non-war times, it is even more difficult for a commoner to get a knighthood than to ascend to the sky. All titles are granted by the king, so commoners must first be favored by the king if they want to get the throne.
The king naturally likes Luo Sheng very much, and he can't wait to have a good relationship with Luo Sheng immediately, and the king is naturally very willing to have a title.
But the problem is that the state also has the rules of the state, and the king is only the one who enforces the rules of the state. The direct promotion from a commoner to a nobleman will inevitably be opposed by other nobles, and the reason why those nobles are nobles is because their ancestors fought bloodily on the battlefield and made outstanding contributions to the Holy Teresa Empire and even the entire human race.
And what about Luo Sheng? It's just that he defeated the palace guards, which is not a meritorious feat at all, and there will be many obstacles to directly giving the title of nobleman.
The king was not only caught up in a contemplative choice.
The king of St. Teresa, although he has a kind personality, is still a little indecisive in his work, and lacks the courage of a king. He always wanted to find a balance among the various forces that would allow the various powers in the country to live in peace - at least when his generation of kings was in power, so that there would be no turmoil.
This practice also extended to his foreign policy, otherwise, the borders of the Saint-Teresa Empire would not always be tolerated by the repeated provocations of the small Iga Empire.
Seeing that the king hesitated slightly, Generalissimo Quinn couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he still lowered his voice and patiently persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Luo Sheng's talent is rare, and his future prospects are limitless, if you don't give him the title while he is not fully grown, I am afraid that he will be won by other countries in the future." β
King St. Teresa was stunned for a moment, and nodded repeatedly, "Brother Quinn is right! It seems that I must give Luo Sheng Aiqing's title. No matter how others object, this title must be given! Ahem - Luo Sheng Aiqing, please come forward and listen to the seal. β
Luo Sheng listened to the conversation between the king and the generalissimo Quinn clearly, and he was not interested in such a thing as knighthood. Coupled with the fact that the king was so unbridled, he wanted to refuse in his heart.
However, considering that he has to study in the capital star for more than three years, if he has an extra layer of aristocratic status, he can at least avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. Moreover, parents will also receive preferential treatment for it. So Luo Sheng took a step forward, still not kneeling, just bowing his head and waiting for the reward.
The king said loudly: "Aiqing Luo Sheng, young and promising, won my heart, I specially awarded you a third-class lord, I hope you can make persistent efforts to become the pillar of my Saint-Teresan Empire!" β
"Thank you." Luo Sheng bowed slightly, saluted, and when he raised his head again, the expression on his face was still unshocked.
Grand Marshal Quinn pursed his lips slightly, seemingly slightly disappointed, but said nothing.
"Lord Luo Sheng, congratulations." The two remaining palace guards next to the throne congratulated with a smile.
Luo Sheng nodded politely and replied simply, "Thank you." β
For the title of "Lord", he doesn't know what kind of rank it is, but since it is a reward from the king, he is already a nobleman, from a commoner without a star, to a three-star citizen, and then a four-star citizen, and then directly to a nobleman, this change is enough to make countless family owners envious.
Even if the head of the family on those small planets is rich, he can only be a five-star citizen at best, and he still belongs to the category of civilians, and Luo Sheng's identity is already nobler than them.
And for the king, naturally, it is also very cost-effective. After rewarding Luo Sheng as a lord, the defeat of his palace guards will not be so embarrassing.
"Luo Sheng Aiqing, I am very happy today, I will prepare a state banquet in the evening to entertain you and Generalissimo Quinn, our three monarchs and ministers - no, we have to add the queen, we monarchs and ministers of the four, we must have a good contact with each other!" The king smiled and asked, "By the way, where has the queen gone?" Why hasn't you come back for so long? β
A few hurried reports came from the mecha headset of a palace guard, and after hearing this, the palace guard's face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly reported to the king: "Your Majesty, the queen has been assassinated in the imperial garden!" β
"What?!" The king exhaled and stood up, his face full of shock.
The chief of the palace guard hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the queen was only a little frightened, and she was not injured, and the entire imperial garden was also charged by us." β
The king breathed a sigh of relief, and then roared angrily, "Who dares to be so bold as to assassinate my queen in my garden? β
"Yes...... Captain Orn. β
Everyone present was taken aback. Luo Sheng frowned even more, unable to believe it.
Although Captain Orn is very annoying in what he says and does, his essence is not bad, how can a man who lives on his honor do something to his master?
Don't think about it, there must be an ulterior reason for this.
"Captain Orn? How is thisβhow is this possible? The king said with a shocked expression, "Isn't Captain Orn the head of the queen's palace guard?" How could he assassinate the queen in reverse? β
"The ministers don't know what happened, probably the queen reprimanded Captain Ouen, Captain Ouen was angry, and he had a grudge against the queen in the past, so he was vicious and courageous, so he did it to the queen." The chief of the palace guard speculated and analyzed.
The king said with a gloomy face, "Where is Captain Orn now?" Escort him up, and I'll interrogate him!" β
"Back to Your Majesty, Captain Orn has died, and has been chopped into mashed meat by the other palace guards."
"Dead?" The king sneered, "It's okay, such a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished, and he will be chopped into meat sauce, and he will be blamed." β
Hearing the king characterize Captain Ouen as a "chaotic minister and thief", Luo Sheng frowned and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it's too early to draw conclusions at this time, right?" There are many doubts about this matter, and it is not possible to directly close the coffin. Captain Orn's strength is very powerful, his "Three Styles of Drawing the Sword", I have personally learned, although I have not seen the queen with my own eyes, but if Captain Orn really wants to kill the queen, even if the queen is powerful, it is impossible not to be injured at all, just a little frightened. β
