In the end, Benjamin arrived at Glory as fast as he could, on the same day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the capital of Carites, the city has an old-fashioned feel to it. Inside the gray city walls with the characteristics of the old era, each row of buildings looks like they have been built for many years, and even if they are extremely clean, they inevitably reveal a retro style. The road was lined with neat palm trees, and even the soldiers guarding the gates wore some of the most ornate armor Benjamin had ever seen.

Hundreds of years ago, it was the first capital of the empire, and the first kings established their capital here. But later, as the country expanded, the capital of the empire moved several times, and Glori, who represented the original glory, was gradually left out in the cold. It wasn't until the empire was divided that the Great Prince, who had nowhere else to go, came here and established Carretus, while at the same time using it to claim that he was the purest royal family.

Therefore, among the capitals of the three kingdoms, Grove is the least prosperous, but the most expensive.

"How am I going to meet the king and infiltrate the palace? Will I be spotted by the Church?" asked Benjamin as he entered the place in disguise.

"Of course you can't enter the palace. Miles shook his head and said, "There's a restaurant outside the palace, which is a secret private property of the royal family. The king will be there to meet you. ”

Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Won't the king be discovered by the church when he secretly leaves the palace?"

"No, it won't. Miles shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, the king often does this, leaving the palace and going to some Fengyue place. The church will pay attention at first, and then gradually it will not bother to care. So don't worry, even if he comes out to meet someone, no one will find it strange. ”

“......”

Hearing this, he should have been relieved, but why did Benjamin suddenly feel more uneasy?

This king ...... Is it really reliable?

Anyway, he followed Miles to the restaurant. They had already booked their places in advance and were led by the waiter to a separate room.

They sat down at the table, eating the snacks on the table, while waiting for the king's arrival.

About an hour later.

“...... Sorry to keep you waiting. ”

The door to the room was quietly opened, and a middle-aged man who looked a little chubby slipped in through the door.

Miles got up from his chair, nodded at the visitor, and said, "See Your Majesty." Seeing this, Benjamin felt strange in his heart, but he did the same.

...... This man is the king of Caritus?

"Sit down, don't be so particular at this time. The middle-aged man waved at them, then came to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The two sat down. Benjamin also began to observe the unattractive man.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the other party's facial features are still a bit similar to the queen of Ikor and the former king of Freden. But similar facial features show a completely different temperament. This king ...... It looks a little ordinary.

It's like the kind of guy who throws it into the crowd and may not recognize it in the blink of an eye. The other party does not have the aura that a king should have at all, ordinary and even slightly obscene, and it can be seen that he has been specially trained in etiquette in every move, and he is confident and hearty but seems to be strong, but from time to time he will show a little weakness.

This man...... Is it really the king?

"Your Majesty, this is the Benjamin Riser you mentioned earlier, the mage who can summon a giant water ball in Hywinley. Miles explained, "I have finally completed your mission, and after observation, brought him to you. ”

When the king heard this, he nodded: "Good work." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Benjamin with an expectant look.

"Do you really already have what it takes to stand up to the Pope?"

Benjamin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and replied, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, that water polo was purely accidental." Your Majesty, I am not capable of confronting the Pope head-on. ”

“...... That's right. ”

The king's expression suddenly became a little disappointed.

However, he turned to speak again, and said, "You should also see the situation of Carretus now. You have turned the situation around Fredden's sudden downturn, you should be able to do something, right?"

Hearing this, Benjamin laughed bitterly.

He wasn't alone in driving the church out of Freden.

Moreover, in his opinion, Carretus's situation was much worse than that of Freden.

"Your Majesty, before I do that, I have a question for you. Benjamin spoke solemnly, "Do you really want to drive the church out of Carretus?"

When the king heard this, he was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"The church didn't have the heart to help me get rid of Ikor and Fredon, and I've seen that over the years. "All they want is my power, they want to bring all the countries into their territory." ”

"But...... With all due respect, why didn't you realize this kind of problem in the first place?" Benjamin didn't bother to be polite, the current situation was obviously caused by this king, "Look at the situation in the Kingdom of Horry, don't you understand what kind of existence the royal family will become after turning to the church?"

Listening to Benjamin's almost reproachful words, the king bowed his head and did not refute anything. A middle-aged man who looks almost forty years old looks like a child who has been criticized by a teacher.

Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head.

It can be regarded as the only one who can treat the king as this part. I don't know if it's because they're born this way or if these people are suppressed by the church, but ...... The kings of the Kingdom of Hori may not have such a nest.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of accusing you. But your attitude makes me very uncomfortable. Benjamin spread his hands and continued, "I'm not sure if the church will give me something out of the way one day." ”

The king remained silent with his head bowed.

"In that case, I'm afraid I can only refuse your request. Benjamin shook his head and said.

The atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, and Miles was watching from the sidelines, and it was hard to say anything.

Benjamin simply stood up and prepared to leave.

"Master Benjamin...... In your opinion, I may not be a worthy king. Finally, the king sighed and had to start holding Benjamin, "It's not just you, it's a lot of people out there. My father had always been disappointed in me, my brothers and sisters looked down on me, and the bishops sent by the church didn't take me seriously. ”

Benjamin turned and looked at the king quietly.

The king shook his head and continued, "Actually, I also know that I may not be this material. I was the eldest prince, and I was expected by everyone, and no matter what I did, I was a beat slower than my younger siblings. When they set themselves up as kings, I was very unwilling and carried away, so I thought of using the power of the church to take back the land from the two of them. It's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, and I can't deny it. ”

Benjamin continued the other man's words: "People have done stupid things, and the important thing is how to make up for it." ”

"I know. The king also stood up and nodded, "I was too young at the time, not yet thirty years old, and I thought that my father would live for at least another ten years, and I could play for another ten years, and learn to mature again when I had enough." It's just that...... My father didn't give me that time. ”

Benjamin asked rhetorically, "And now?"

"Now, I don't want to let myself down any longer. The king propped his hand on the table and said slowly, "My father used to say that he should be careful with the church, and if he knew what I had done, he would be very angry." Gen Benjamin, I don't want to look disappointed at my father in my dreams every day, please help me. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin finally walked back and sat down in his chair again.

"If you're really determined, maybe I can really help. He smiled, "Your Majesty, I hope we have a good time working together." ”
