"So, there's not any movement on the king's side, right?"

In the spacious and bright conference hall, a group of knights who are close to Irene are gathering for a meeting. Paz is also there.

"Yes. Abby Robles reported: "It's not just about the celebrations, His Majesty hasn't been on business for a week. Stayed with Jones every day, saying that he was going to discuss the handling of the Duchy of Beshir. But not a single order was given. ”

"Just two people, so long in the meeting?" Hallse laughed: "That Jones is a teenager." Can he still have a meeting? It won't be the king's own **, right? Then he will be the most infatuated perverted old man ever. ”

All of a sudden, everyone laughed.

Abby Robles sighed and said leisurely, "Actually, we're not the only ones who think so. ”

"What do you mean...... Anyone else thinks so?"

Abby Robles took a deep breath and said, "My friend in the Lion King Capital told me that the entire Lion King thinks so. ”

"And who else supports him?" the knights laughed even more.

"Definitely no one supported him. This matter is too absurd, even if he is a king, he should not just get a person of unknown origin to interfere with the inheritance rights of other families without any reliable evidence. However, there is no one to support him, and he must do it, doesn't it show his determination even more?"

With that, the laughter came to an abrupt end.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Irene on the side said softly: "This is good news and bad news. The good news is that no one has his back, and if we can withstand his first pressure, then the victory is ours. The bad news is that it certainly can't be resolved through negotiations. Baird VI reigned for fifty years, and if he had to do it, then he would certainly mobilize all his forces against us. The month ahead is key. Everyone must be mentally prepared, and there must be no slackness in the matter at hand!

"Yes!" all the knights present slammed their breastplates, and then turned away one by one.

Paz whispered, "By the way, why don't you let Gray come too?"

"Do you think it's any use for him to come?" asked Irene.

"It doesn't seem to work. Paz scratched his head.

After thinking about it, Ireen turned her head and asked Abby Robles, "By the way, where did Gray go?"

"I don't know. I went out early this morning, and I walked in a hurry, saying that I would not come back for lunch. ”

"Oh. ”

......

On the street, Shelley hurriedly got out of the car and appeared in front of Gray through the crowd of onlookers.

"Shelley, it's a coincidence to meet you here!" Gray hurriedly greeted. After thinking about it, he saluted "elegantly". This is the result of last night's all-night training.

"It's not a coincidence at all!" said Shelley, trembling with rage.

"This is Shelley. ”

"I really can't see that it's so bad at a young age. ”

"You don't know, nobles are generally bad when they come out of their mother's womb. Baron Gray is an exception. ”

The people around him began to point and point and talk, and the corners of Shelley's eyes twitched twice.

Finally suppressing her violent emotions, she smiled and said, "Lord Baron, I think you should clarify to everyone what happened last night. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the tabloid reporter next to her.

Gray acted as if he hadn't seen anything: "Last night? What happened last night?"

"Last night's dance. ”

"Oh! I remember, you invited me to dance last night!"

The tabloid reporter on the side took a notebook and a pen and muttered quietly: "Write it down, Miss Shelley took the initiative to invite Baron Gray to dance last night, and the person concerned stated it in person, and it was confirmed." ”

Shelley almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"No! It's not this! Don't remember it! Gray! Tell them if you proposed to me last night!"

"Is there one?" Gray looked up, and began to search his mind for related memories.

"Didn't you?" Shelley was about to cry, and everyone around her looked at her with wide eyes: "Think about it! Did you propose to me and be rejected?"

"Yes, I remember! I proposed to you, and you turned it down!"

When he heard this, Shelley finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a sense of exhaustion, as if he was in a different world.

Anyway, things can finally settle down. This man is scumbag, but at least it's not that bad, is it?

She held her head high, ready to listen to the repentance of those around her for misunderstanding her.

However, she was wrong.

"Do you see that? This woman is forcing Baron Gray to admit that she has proposed. ”

"It's shameful to see it. ”

"Baron Gray is so nice, he's willing to help her. ”

"Wait! what are you talking about?" Shelley was dumbfounded.

The tabloid reporter next to him took a pen and carefully recorded: "Miss Shelley was angry and forced Baron Gray to admit that she had proposed, trying to cover up the fact that she had slandered Baron Gray. ”

"Don't remember it! What is 'persecution'? This is not the case at all! Do you think that there are people in this world who are so good as to help those who slander themselves to lie? Is it possible?"

Just then, a drunkard came over drunken and touched Gray.

"Hey, I've lost all my salary, give me some money. ”

"How much?"

"It doesn't take much, just a hundred silver coins. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Gray touched for a long time, and only found ninety-eight silver coins.

"I'm sorry, I bought too much pigeon feed today, and I'm still missing two silver coins, will I give you tomorrow?"

"No, no, I'll give you those two silver coins!"

"Thank you, you're such a nice guy. ”

The drunkard, holding the ninety-eight silver coins, walked away happily.

Everyone's eyes returned to Shelley, and he said with a serious face: "We believe that Baron Gray is so good. ”

In an instant, Shelley lost again. Hey, why do you say "again"?

No matter. In short, she sat down in the street as if she had been drained of all her strength, tears falling down her cheeks, and she couldn't stop crying.

"It's too much...... You guys, how can you turn black and white upside down like that?"

Everyone watched coldly, except for Gray. Yes, only Gray walked over, then reached out and helped Shelley to his feet.

In the sunlight, the brand-new armor shone brightly.

At this moment, Gray's figure is undoubtedly majestic in everyone's minds. In Shelley's mind, he rose from a villain to a demon.

......

As the sun sets, the streets of Baicheng are still bustling, and people come and go. Almost everyone who staggered past Gray on a bone horse stopped to salute Gray without exception. Gray waved to them as Irene had done.

The child lying on the balcony cried out loudly: "Baron Gray, Baron Gray!"

In just one day, his popularity in White City has exploded.

This was due to the fact that he was constantly rushing all over the world to help "those who asked him for help" and the newspapers touted it.

Walking in the back carriage, Shelley cried into tears.

Since she was a child, she has been loved by thousands of people, and she has never suffered such grievances.

"What is Miss Shelley crying about?" asked Gray.

"Don't you know what she's crying about?" asked the black cat, who had been hiding in her armor and had not said a word.

"I don't know. ”

"Didn't you hear what everyone around you said?"

"They said Shelley slandered me, and although I didn't know what Shelley slandered me, Shelley was a good girl and I should forgive her. ”

"Oh my God. You're such a piece of wood. Is this a question of forgiveness? Her reputation has been tarnished! Her reputation has been tarnished! You know? These people have rumoured that you didn't propose to her last night!"

"But I begged. ”

"I know. ”

"Then why is she crying? Isn't it sad that I didn't propose to her?"

"Wait, I'm a bit of a mess. These people rumored that you didn't propose to her, and then she was very sad...... It's sad to say that you didn't propose to her, and then ...... Wait, what am I thinking? The root of this is that she was wronged and she said you proposed to her, when in fact there was none. To put it simply, everyone thinks she's lying! Oh my God, I've summed up such complex logic so thoroughly, I'm such a genius!"

But she wasn't lying. ”

"Yes. ”

"But I've testified for her. ”

"Yes. But those people don't believe it. ”

"So they think I'm lying, too?"

"Uh...... So to speak. ”

"Then I've been wronged, haven't I? I didn't feel sad, which shows that being wronged is not such a big deal. Human girls are so fragile. ”

The Lich's angle is always so strange. The black cat didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he could only roll his eyes.

Deliver Shelley to your doorstep.

When she helped Shelley open the car door, Shelley was angry and gave Gray a slap on the mask. Then he looked at Gray with teary eyes.

Gray also looked at Shelley in a daze.

"What did she just mean? Is this some kind of etiquette?"

"No, she's attacking you. ”

"Why did she attack me?"

Before Gray could figure it out, Shelley had already passed him by and went straight to the house. Gray tried to follow, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

The door closed with a "bang", and Shelley lay on the bed with a "wow" and cried.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" the maid hurried over.

Shelley choked up and said, "My hands hurt...... Help me see if the bastard is gone. ”

The maid hurriedly looked through the gap in the curtains.

......

Standing in front of the Grugru family's mansion, Gray whispered to the black cat, "Should I fight back?"

"Heh......" Except for a sneer, the black cat has nothing to express.
