Chapter 3: The Secret of the Nash Family
Inside the castle, Grand Duke Harris, who was dusty, followed his attendants and appeared in the corridor.
"Your Majesty, Queen. ”
The tall man, with one hand on his chest, bent his back towards his king.
"Kirton, long time no see. Olivia broke free from Silas's embrace, smiled a gentle smile at the dusty man, then turned to her husband and said, "Let's talk, I'll go see Luna and Jack." ”
Silas bowed his head when he heard this, and only then did Olivia's figure disappear at the end of the corridor that he spoke:
"Kirton, you're coming back sooner than I thought, but what's wrong?"
"The old lion king died, and our tribute team was stopped halfway through and repatriated. Grand Duke Harris—Kirton Nash frowned in reply.
"When?" asked Silas with a look in his eyes.
Theoretically, such a thing happened to be conveyed by a letter of state to show solemnity, however, he had never received any news from the Central Empire, and with his keen political intuition, Celes instantly sensed the hidden crisis behind this matter.
"I don't know the specifics, no matter how I ask, the people of the Central Empire refuse to reveal half a word. However, I'm afraid that the days are not short, if it is not for this past, I am afraid that we will not know until the border is chaotic. Kirton's face was more solemn than ever.
"Did you notice anything at the border?" Silas asked, looking at the other man's solemn appearance.
"It's because the territory of the Central Empire is too calm, and the border with us can't see any difference, that I become more and more uneasy. And ......"
Kirton paused here as he spoke, turned his head to look at the sky with a trace of haze floating in the distance, and said for a long time,
"Although I didn't notice anything special when I came back and passed through the border, the air there made my blood a little restless, just like the sky over there, it seemed peaceful, but it always made people feel like something was going to happen. ”
Following Kirton's gaze, Silas raised an eyebrow.
As a king, he also has his own ambitions, and he is tired of paying tribute to the insatiable lions who only rely on females to feed him every year, although the change in the Central Empire may mean a river of blood, but it also means an opportunity for change, doesn't it?
What's more, there is also the whereabouts of that person, which has never been found, and this time it is not an opportunity.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but whisper: "Perhaps, a snowstorm is coming!"
"yes! It's just that I'm a little worried about you. Retracting his gaze from the sky, Cotton looked at Silas, the playmate he had grown up with and the only wolf king he was willing to submit to today.
"Me?" said Silas, stunned by Kirton's incoherent words.
"Do you remember Lilith Campbell?" said Kirton, leaning forward slightly, closer to Silas.
"Who?" said Silas's eyes were blank.
For the Campbell family, Silas has some impressions, he remembers that it is a business family with considerable wealth, mainly fox beasts, but it is precisely because of the fox's cunning nature that although the family's business is all over the world, it has always been run up to the bottom, for a ruler like him, the Campbell family can only be regarded as a big taxpayer in the country at most.
But who is Lilith? The daughter of the Campbells? Although he knows that fox beasts are very dazzling for both men and women, but what does this have to do with him?
"I knew you had forgotten about ......" Kirton raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, although he was also a wolf and had absolute loyalty to his partner, but he didn't understand how Silas did it, and he had no impression of the females except Olivia.
No, that's not right, at least from what he's observed over the years, Silas still seems to remember all the barons in his country, but whether he remembers the values that those barons represent, or whether the barons themselves are up for debate.
"I ...... Should you remember her?" Silas grew more and more confused as he watched the look of helplessness appear on Corton's tough face.
"Lilith Campbell, the daughter that the Campbell family once worked so hard to send into the castle, and later worked as a maid for Olivia for a while, such a noisy female, you actually forgot!"
The female was quite well-behaved at first after she was sent to the court, but since she became the queen's maid, she began to stir up trouble in the castle, and there were many stories, and Kirton did not believe that Silas would have no impression of the female who was tied up by him and thrown out of the castle directly through the window.
Sure enough, after Cotton's words fell, Silas's eyes crossed a thick look of disgust, and he said, "I remember, it was the female who crawled into my bed, got into a big fight with me, and burned everything in my bedroom in a fit of anger......"
Kirton looked at his majesty's handsome face full of resentment and disgust, and always felt that what the other party said was a little awkward, but when the other party remembered it, he didn't dwell too much, and just continued:
"She is now a noble concubine of the Central Empire, and has given birth to a son for the old lion king, and this time I went to the Central Empire, and I saw shops with the Campbell family crest in almost every town I passed. ”
"Tsk, if I'm not mistaken, that old lion is much older than the old men of our two families, isn't it? Silas joked sly.
It's not that he didn't grasp the point of Cordon's words, but what would Lilith do if she gave birth to a male lion cub? Which of the lion kings of the past is not a harem of females, and which one is not a herd of cubs? What can a son change? Unless......
Silas narrowed his eyes.
"My old man has warned me more than once that the female is the most vengeful creature in the world, and there is no one. What's more, it's still a fox female, and I've already warned you anyway. ”
The tacit understanding that has grown up together for a long time made Curton understand that Silas had realized the problem, so he just taught his majesty the secret of the Nash family's male "life-saving", so he didn't say anything else.
As for how to deal with the follow-up impact of the Central Empire with the death of the old lion king, it is not only he and His Majesty can discuss, it is also necessary to convene other ministers to discuss together, he just needs to do a good job of His Majesty's fangs and claws as always.
