Chapter XXXIV Round Tables

Time flies, and the date has finally come for King Okaf to decide to convene a family meeting. Long after the king made this decision, the servants in the royal palace began to work for the day.

Twenger Hawk didn't expect to be the first person to arrive at the chamber. The slightly dated furnishings in the room made Twenge feel particularly bored. There was nothing left on the huge round table except for the royal eagle in the center.

Without much thought, Twenge sat in one of the seats and waited for the others to arrive.

Just when Twenge was bored, the eldest prince Alan Hawke walked in with his head held high in golden armor. He ignored Twenger and sat down next to the throne.

Twenger was sitting just in time to see Alan's face, and he noticed that Alan's face was sinking like water at this time, and he didn't pay attention to his own meaning at this time. This made Twenger feel very difficult. He asked with a smile on his face, "Big brother, have you been busy and tired from work recently?"

Hearing Twenge talking to himself, Alan opened his eyes and glanced at him without saying a word. Then he looked out of the door.

Seeing that Alan was such a reflection, Twenge gasped. The face felt unnatural, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely awkward. "Hello Alan. He is getting more and more energetic! He really looks like the future heir of the kingdom. ”

Twinger followed the sound as a man with unkempt hair and disheveled clothes walked in. Twenge recognized it at a glance as his third uncle, Viscount Dorian.

When Alan saw that it was the third uncle, Dorian, he turned his head to the side and didn't look at him. But Dorian didn't give up, he walked up to Eren and said, "Alan, I saved your life when you were young! ”

"Oh, thank you, Third Uncle. That's your place, go and sit there, lest you be rebuked by your father. Alan said with a look of disgust, pointing to the seat next to Twenger.

Hearing Allen say this, Dorian smiled and nodded and sat down next to Twinger. But at this time, the eyes of the two people sitting together were focused on Allen's body. Both of them understood that their future lives were likely to be in the hands of the invincible prince in front of them.

Just as Twenge and Dorian were thinking about how to say a few more words to Elendo, two men dressed in aristocratic attire walked in and laughed. The younger man has clear eyes, while the older man has a very elaborate beard.

Allen, who didn't want to speak, saw the two people who came in, and his expression immediately became even more ugly. Twenger and Dorian, on the other hand, seemed to have found a new target, and hurriedly greeted those who came in.

"Second brother, Uncle Donne, why are you here? "Brother, Francis is so glad to see you. Twenger and Dorian's words mingled. Makes Francis and Dorne look at each other and smile awkwardly.

Seeing that Twenge and Dorian treated Francis and Dorne like this again, Alan, who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes and looked in the other direction.

"Hahaha! Everyone is on time, sorry I'm the last one to arrive. King O'Cave I said happily when he saw that the hall was full of people. He was followed by Goethe, a scholar of the Kingdom, and Antony, a knight of the Kingdom.

Once seated in his seat, the king motioned for everyone to sit down, and allowed Goethe and Antony to sit across from him. At this time, sitting on the left and right of the king are the eldest prince Allen and the second prince Francis.

Seeing that everyone was seated, O'Kraft went straight to the point and said, "I think everyone probably knows what we are going to discuss today. That's where William went out to train with other families. ”

"Where do you want the Fourth Prince to go? The scholar was the first to ask.

"After much consideration, I would like to let William go to Modaan's house to study and live until he becomes an adult. The king said.

"Ah, this has never been the case before! Successive princes have lived in Tiger and Sneiker. It's a bit bad to break the rules now, and it will cause misunderstanding!" said the scholar in astonishment when he heard the king's thoughts.

The king nodded and said, "I know it's a bold idea, but every family in the kingdom is our partner. Every family has its strengths. You see, the recent news from the Rhett family has shown that they are a formidable warrior, and William needs to learn some tenacity qualities. What he learned in other families may not be suitable for him. ”

"Father, there are too many families with such tenacity. The families of Xiang Buk and Kuzma are also very good, so why go to such a distant border area?" Alan then said his thoughts.

When Dorne heard Allen say this, he also said, "Yes, Your Majesty." I think the most suitable place in the kingdom is the Beasleys, and the distance from the royal capital is also appropriate. They are a good warrior. ”

When Alan heard Uncle Dorne say this, he said angrily, "Uncle, who are the guys you mentioned? How could William learn well?"

"That's also a guy who is obsessed with women and money, well! Dorne asked rhetorically.

Alan and Dorn grew louder and louder, and everyone, including Twenger, listened as they argued about who was better. Although Twenger had little contact with the other families, he knew that the families that Eren and Dorn spoke of were loyal servants of their respective camps.

Seeing that the two of them went from talking calmly to shouting with red faces, King O'Cave, who couldn't listen to it, said loudly: "Then do you think there is anything wrong with the Rhett family's conduct?"

Hearing the king say this, Alan and Dorn immediately stopped arguing, and the other people present were speechless. They were in the heart of the kingdom and had never paid attention to those on the border.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the king saw that no one could come up with a new reason, and said, "It seems that there is no other opinion among you." I have one more thing to say. I'm going to go to Modaan with William to see Dragonclaw, which I haven't been to yet. ”

This sentence made the originally silent atmosphere suddenly become lively again. "What? You're going to Modaan. You are the king, how can you leave so easily?" shouted the scholar again.

Then the eldest prince, Alan Hawke, said, "There is still a lot to be done in the kingdom, and the king has never escorted a prince! Father. ”

Several people kept talking, which the king did not expect. Indeed, he had not held such a meeting for a long time. Seeing that everyone was gossiping and didn't say anything, he slapped the table and said, "I've already decided, you don't have to discuss it!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the king, and O'Cave continued, "After I leave, Alan, you will take care of the affairs of the country. But everything needs to be consulted with the scholars, the knights, and your brothers. You can only pass if most of you agree. Do you understand?"

"Yes. I understand. But don't go, Father. Alan was overjoyed to receive such an appointment. The originally ugly face was full of smiles at this time.

"I've already decided. By the way, who of you would like to come with me except Alan!" O'Caveh said, looking at Francis and Twenger, who were sitting in front of him.

After a moment of silence, Twenge raised his hand and said, "I'm willing to go with you." I'd love to know what Modaan looks like. I want to go outside and have a look. ”

Seeing Twenge say this, Okaf nodded and said, "Okay, you can go with us!." Just go outside and open your eyes. Goethe, you wrote to me in the end. With that, O'Kraft got up and left, while the others were in the room, not knowing what to do.

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one wants to say anything. There was no way to say to the scholar Goethe: "The king's order has been given." I don't know what you think you should do!"

Alan said, "Father's order has been given, let's do it as soon as possible! I'll take care of life things like food and wagons. I'll leave it to my uncles and younger brothers for the walking route and the like. We'll hand over the finished work to the scholar in three days. Let's see how it goes. ”

Everyone agreed to Alan's proposal. After making a plan, he left the castle.

Soon the palace began to prepare items for the long journey and the selection of elite soldiers, and this time the trip was different from usual. People are constantly busy. Life is a different feeling.

A few days later, the scholar took these things and went to the king. When he saw the king, he said, "Your Majesty, I am really strange. Why would you want to go in person? ”

"Very well, Goethe. I can't help it. After sitting on the throne for a long time, I want to move. The province is too numb. O'Kraft took the plan and looked at it.

"Your Majesty. This time, the eldest prince was asked to handle the affairs of the kingdom, and the second prince didn't seem to be very happy. Goethe looked at the king and said.

"Well, we have so many difficulties now that we really don't know what to do!" said the king, shaking his head.

"You mean, the strength of the two families has reached a point where you are afraid?" said Goethe.

"Sit down and say. The king pointed to the chair next to him and continued, "There are no outsiders here, you have watched me grow up." Over the years, both the Tiger family and the Snecker family have continued to infiltrate our territory. It's already a force that can influence our decisions. I don't want to be stuck in the situation I'm in! ”

"Yes, they're too powerful and they're going to affect you. But they can't do that!, the old king had thought of this before, but in the end it was out of desperation that he tried to balance the two families and let them fight!" said Goethe.

"My idea is that inside the outside system. Rely on the old families such as Rhett of Modaan in the west, Longman in Weeks in the north, Brooke in Schid in the east, and Wood in Rooni in the south to suppress them. The king said.

"That's a really good idea, but we rarely have contact with them, so we can't be sure what they have to do with those two!"

That's why I chose Rhett's house as my first stop. They were the furthest away from Tiger and Sneck, and I think they were the most able to get in touch. ”

"But that would have angered the two families!" Goethe expressed his concern.

"They won't know my true purpose yet, and there will be anger, so I'm going to give some of the sweetness. There will be at least two to three years to set up the whole project to begin. ”

While the two were talking, Queen Aisha was preparing something for her son. A few days ago, the queen was very happy to get the news, but she felt very uncomfortable at the thought that her son was about to leave.

At this time, William didn't know where he was going, but he was reluctant to leave here.

"Mom, when will I be back. May I bring my wooden sword?" said William.

"Of course! William. You can bring any toys you want. The queen said. "Pack up! I'm leaving. ”

After saying that, the queen left William's room, and her heart was very complicated. At the junction the queen saw Goethe, who had just finished talking to the king, and the queen wondered how she could see a scholar in the palace today. The scholar also saw the queen, nodded and hurried away.

The queen didn't say anything, but pushed open the door and walked in. The king was looking at the road map, and when he saw the queen, he said happily, "Look, Queen, this is our route." Nice, lots of beautiful views along the way. ”

Seeing that the queen was a little sullen, the king said, "What's the matter?

"I can't say it, it's just a strange feeling. The queen said.

"It's going to be fine, this is probably the best outcome for William. The king put his arm around the queen and said.

The sun gradually set on the other side of the mountain, and several owls landed on the roof of the Rainbow City Palace. And everyone in the palace was making their own preparations. Under the colored light, several people hurriedly left the royal capital.
