Chapter 463: Green Mountains and Green Waters (59)

He mentions all Hermes' attempts, intentions, dreams, and hopes. However, all of Hermes's achievements have long been passed on to His Majesty as the icing on the cake, so there is nothing to add. Hearing this, Floya's face turned even paler, and her lips pursed even tighter.

Fihrin believed that when the Duke of the Ram had finished speaking, she would immediately get up and speak, but His Majesty hastily stood up, held the glass full of wine to signal everyone to be quiet, and then raised his glass to the Queen.

"There are so many compliments for Filin tonight, and too little praise for the most beautiful princess Floa.

As soon as she returned, she faced the saddest bereavement, but it was believed that Hermes, the deceased brother of Filin, would not let the grief caused by his death overshadow all his wife's efforts.

Leave her condition aside......" The smile on His Majesty's face was like a mockery. Still, she was faithful to her husband's interests and went on a personal expedition against the Red Ships, and there is no doubt that many of the robbers would surely die by her heroic sword.

And the warriors of the people were also heartbroken by the sight of their princess and the decision to fight for them without hesitation. ”

Floya's cheeks flushed, and Her Majesty humbly continued to boast of Floya's merits, and his flattering remarks almost belittled her merits.

Fei Lin helplessly hoped that someone at the main table would come out to support her, just because Fei Lin rose up to speak out against His Majesty as a commoner, the whole situation was probably more like a farce. Floya, who had never been sure of her place in her husband's court, now that she had lost his support, she looked as if she was a cut shorter.

Her Majesty repeated her exploits, making them sound suspicious and reckless, but rather courageous and decisive. Filmin saw her grow smaller and smaller, and knew she wasn't going to defend herself now.

The feast resumed, and a very depressed queen accompanied the unconscious King Creek beside her, listening to the king's slurred conversation with a solemn face and silence. But worse is coming.

When the feast was over, His Majesty once again asked everyone to be quiet, assuring the gathered guests that there would be a performance of bards and puppeteers after the meal, but begged them to be patient until he announced another matter.

He said that after careful consideration and lengthy discussions, despite his reluctance, he understood that the attack on Jeeper Bay was a confirmed fact. Fort Stag is not as safe and secure as it used to be, and it is definitely not suitable for the physically weak.

Therefore, he decided to send King Creek (who also looked up and winked when he heard his name) to move inland and settle on the commercial beach on the Wine River in Falo for safety until his health improved.

After a pause, he took great pains to thank the Duke of Hude of Fallo for his willingness to arrange for the royal family to live in the commercial castle, saying that it was close to the main castles of Fallot and Tilth.

He also wanted to keep in good contact with the most loyal dukes, who often had to travel long nights to help him out of trouble in this extremely difficult time, and for himself to bring these nobles who had to come from afar

I am glad to be able to share the life of the royal family. He paused to accept the dukes' praise and thanks, and they said they would continue to support him, and then when he raised his hand again, he immediately fell silent in obedience.

He invited, nay, he pleaded with the princess to accompany King Creek to the interior, so that she would feel safer and more comfortable, for the commercial beach fort had been built like a home, not a fortress, and at the same time to reassure his subjects.

Just because the soon-to-be-born heir and his mother will be far away from the dangerous coast, where they will be well cared for.

He promised to do everything he could to make her feel uninhibited, and promised her that a merry court would be reorganized there, and that the many furnishings and treasures of Fort Stag would be transported with the king to alleviate the discomfort of the migration.

His Majesty smiled as he degraded his father as an old fool, and even more so as to disparage Floya as a mare in charge of breeding, and had the audacity to stop and listen to her accept her fate.

"Filin can't go. She said with infinite solemnity. "Fort Stag is where Hermes left Filin, and he took care of it before he left, so he is going to stay here, and Filin's children will be born here. ”

Your Majesty don't look away, the smile on her face hidden from her on the surface actually makes everyone see it more clearly. "Fort Stag will have a strong defense, Queen Film.

Filin's cousin, Sir Mingliang, the heir to the title of Falow, expressed his interest in organising an armed defence of Fort Tag, where all militia units would be garrisoned, as they were not needed to stay on the commercial beach, and I doubted that they needed the help of another pregnant woman bound by her skirt and pot-bellied. ”

This burst of laughter shocked Film.

It's a cruel argument, more like a drunken man's quip in a tavern, and not for a prince to blurt out in his own castle.

This reminded him of the most unbearable appearance of the Queen of Lust when she was extremely excited by alcohol and drugs, but the guests at the main table laughed anyway, and many of the people sitting below laughed along. His Majesty's demeanor and entertainment made him so beautiful that no matter how much he humiliated and made fun of the king and princess that night, these sycophants would sit and gladly accept it, while gobbling up the delicacies and wine on their tables.

Floya seemed unable to speak, and in fact she had risen to leave, but the king held out a trembling hand to hold her. "Please stay, his dear. His stammering tone was clear to everyone.

"Don't leave Film. I want you to stay with me. ”

"You see, this is the king's wish. His Majesty hurriedly reminded her. The king made such a request of her at this time, and he thought that even His Majesty himself did not expect that it would be good luck for him. Floya reluctantly sat back in her seat, her lower lip trembling and her face flushed.

Filin was horrified that she would cry out because of this. An uncontrollable gaffe of a pregnant woman would be a final victory for His Majesty.

She took a deep breath, turned to address the king in a low but clear tone, and took his hand.

"You are my sworn allegiance, His Majesty. My king, as you wish, he will not leave you. She bowed her head to the king, and His Majesty nodded graciously, and the crowd began to rejoice in her promise.

His Majesty chattered again before the commotion was over, but he had already achieved his goal. He mostly boasted of the wisdom of his decisions, and Fort Stag would be better able to defend itself without the royal family's concerns.

He even brazenly stated that once he, the king and the princess left Fort Tag, it would reduce the chances of Fort Stag being targeted by robbers, because even if they took it, it would be no good, and these nonsense was just for show.

Soon the king was taken away and brought back to his chamber, as he had completed his mission.

At the same time, Floya accompanied the king to his retirement, and the whole feast was reduced to a noisy after-show, with barrels of beer and many barrels of secondary wine being brought to the table.

While all sorts of outback minstrels, his Majesty and his companions entertained themselves by watching a puppet show called "The Temptation of the Inn Master's Son."

Filin pushed his plate open and looked at Borges. The eyes of the people met and they all stood up in unison.

The smelted people don't seem to have any emotion. They are not evil, nor do they enjoy the joy of their evil deeds and sins.

When they lose their sense of human beings or other creatures in the world, they lose their ability to be part of society.

Even those who are cold, harsh, or insensitive, knowing that they cannot always show indifference to others, are still accepted by kinship relations in their families and villages, but those who are tempered are not even capable of showing indifference to others.

Their emotions don't just pause, they forget about them altogether, making it impossible for them to anticipate the actions of others based on their emotional responses.

Arcane Spell users are at the other extreme. These people can extend their minds and learn the thoughts and feelings of others in distant places, and those with high arcane magic abilities can even inflict their thoughts and feelings on others.

This growing sensitivity to the emotions of others has given users of arcane spells abilities that too many of those who have been smelted lack.

Crown Prince Hermes revealed that the smelted seemed to be completely immune to his ability to transmit voice in code, meaning that he could not sense their feelings or perceive their thoughts. However, that doesn't mean they can't feel arcane spells.

Could it be that Hermes's whispers had brought them to Fort Stag? that his opening to the outside world had awakened a hunger in them, and perhaps also reminded them of what they had lost?

And when Hermes left Fort Stag on a mission, the smelted people seemed to slow down their approach to Fort Stag.

The people came to the door of King Creek's house and knocked, and it was opened by a servant. Before I arrived, I had noticed that Valles was one of the people drinking downstairs, and remained where the king was when he left.

"Let me in. Fei Lin said calmly, only to see the servant glaring at Fei Lin.

"Nope. He said coldly, and tried to close the door.

Filin pressed his shoulder against the door, and Borges was on his side to help.

It was the first and last time that Filin had done anything rough to the servant, and there was nothing to be happy about proving that he was stronger than him.

The look in his eyes as Filmin pushed him aside and forced him in was not at all what a person should have seen on his friend's face.
