Chapter 31: The Disobedient Knight and the Prince Return
Negotiations between the envoys of Dragon City and the Bohemian retainer ended in vain, which was the result that Sarian had expected. But he didn't expect that the biggest obstacle would come from the foodie Mithrid II. Logically speaking, this fat pig could not be assertive, but his performance in the diplomatic chamber did surprise him.
Now that Sarian is here, he will not leave so easily. Although there was no definite order from above to stop the war between the two countries, out of the dignity of the dragon clan, he must give some unknown people some color.
Before coming to Prague, Sarian had learned the general situation in Bohemia. Staying at the reception, Salian intends to detonate some pent-up contradiction.
Just two days later, some people began to gather in front of the palace. Many of them come from women and the elderly from other regions. Anxiously waiting for news from their relatives, they all planned to come to the palace to ask for an explanation after learning that the border guards were besieged and there was no follow-up rescue.
In front of the palace, where the snow had long since been cleared, weeping people cried out to the palace. Some begged His Majesty to send troops to rescue the besieged soldiers as soon as possible, others cursed the corruption and dereliction of duty of officials at all levels, and it was these people who had been fooling around the country that had led to the country being bullied by Bavaria and never being able to recover the territories that belonged to the occupied territories, while others shouted that the mediocre Misrid II was a cold-blooded waste that could only eat.
As more and more people gathered, so did the negative news about the kingdom and the king. The cold temperatures did not stop the people, and the palace guards did not dare to stop the crowd. They could only hold the palace gate tightly and prevent them from seeking an opportunity to rush in.
The constant noise made Mithrid II, who was already in no mood, even more irritable. More than their vicious language, the fact that the precious ingredients that had been brought back from all over the country were stopped by these people made Mithrid II even more angry.
In order to keep the ingredients fresh, the ingredients prepared by the palace for His Majesty's meals are never kept until the next day. For this reason, the enraged Misrid II had already whipped the Imperial Cooks twice.
"Perrault, I now command you to drive these damned untouchables out of front of the palace at once! they have robbed me of the top-quality ingredients I ordered from the Hanseatic Business Alliance! It's been two days, and if you let me eat those damn pig foods, I'm going to kill them all!"
Thunderous Mithrid II is about to lose his mind. If it weren't for the fact that the envoy from Dragon City was still in the city, he would not hesitate to command the palace guards and the knights of the Maple Leaf Knights to completely disperse the untouchables gathered in front of the palace, and then cut off the head of the leader of them and hang it on the city wall.
Perrault, the leader of the Maple Leaf Knights, who was wearing plate armor, stood straight, with a resolute look in his somewhat hesitant expression. He had just made up his mind, and with some nervousness he refused the king's order.
"Your Majesty, I ...... I can't do that, because I'm a knight!, and I think Your Majesty should grant their request, for the soldiers trapped in Probez are also our brothers. ”
"Do you remember that you were a knight?" said Mithrid II, surprised that the most loyal leader of the Maple Leaf Knights would dare to disobey his orders. "Perrault, don't forget who paid you for your studies in Batnia. You ungrateful, bastard!"
"Your Majesty, the royal family's kindness will never be forgotten. "But I haven't forgotten what Batnya taught me. A knight's sword and spear will never fall on the heads of a good people, so I will not carry out His Majesty's orders. ”
"Bastard!" Misrid II slammed the table in anger, "then you mean I'm a mediocre king, don't you? don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you scumbags never made me king!"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood!" said Perrault slowly. "We Maple Leaf Knights have never had any other thoughts, and protecting Your Majesty and the Prince is the highest vocation of our Knights......"
"Don't mention Harold to me!" Misrid II picked up a plate and threw it directly on Perrault's head, "You traitors don't take me in your eyes for a long time!
The round plate smashed directly into Perrault's face. He didn't make any defensive moves.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you, Prince Harold has returned from Patternia. Perrault said word for word, and that was why he had refused the king's absurd orders.
"What? the rebel is coming back?" said Mithrid II, looking terrified. "You, you must have negotiated it. You ungrateful bastards, are you planning to push me down? I tell you. Don't even think about it! There is only one king in the Duchy of Bohemia, and no one else should even think about it!"
At this point, Misrid II suddenly realized that it was a wrong decision to let the 2nd Talak Frontier Regiment attack, and it was even more wrong not to do the rescue. If the obedient Ronio is again, Perrault, the anti-bone boy, will not dare to behave like this on his own.
"Get out!" Misrid II yelled at Perrault, "get out as far as you give me, and it's better to bring the damned rebel to remove me from the throne tomorrow." ”
Perrault bowed lightly and calmly left the palace. He wants to return to the Order to mobilize and prepare the members for Prince Harold, who has returned from school.
On the boulevard of Patnia, the saddest goodbye is underway.
Although it is already winter, it is still spring, and the gentle breeze makes the green around the gently swaying, which deepens the sadness of parting.
The young man in front of him has already become a qualified knight, and the Grand Mentor Abbiberg plans to introduce him to the Holy Land Forest Lake for further study. Unfortunately, the sudden war frustrated this idea, and the great teacher could not endure the bitter pleading of his disciples, so he had to agree to let him return to Bohemia to serve the country.
"Harold, remember what I said, you must not abandon your beliefs. "War is the devil, and it can devour reason." Killing is inevitable, but you need to consider the meaning of each life and whether you follow the way of knighthood. ”
"Dear Master, I will take your teachings to heart. The young prince stood straight in front of his horse, "I promise that no matter how cruel the war is, I will never violate the glory and dignity of the knights, nor will I trample on the way of the goddess of the lake to enlighten our love." ”
"I'm relieved that you have such persistence. "I won't say much more, except to remind you that the war between the Duchy of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Bavaria is far more simple than the dispute over the Monria mountains. The Knights of the Oracle told me that the recent oracle of the Goddess of the Lake was a sign that an outside force was intervening in the war. Although it is a war between two small countries, it may eventually turn into a world war that will engulf the whole of Carantok. So you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"I see, my teacher. Harold was already on his white horse, and he waved goodbye to the familiar faces, "Goodbye, dear friends, and I hope we will meet again in the future." (To be continued......)
