"Your Majesty?" said to the speechless man, "that he has come to see you at your command. ”

Crick sat in the shadow of the bed curtain, with many cushions around him, and watched me talk with open eyes.

"Who...... Oh, it's Kaz. Sit down, Valles, help him move a chair, and bring a set of cups and plates by the way. ”

When the servant left to fetch his things, Crick confessed to Film, "I miss Shephes. He's been with Filmin for so many years, he doesn't have to open his mouth, he knows what to do. ”

"Filin remembers him, Your Majesty. So, where is he now?"

"He fell ill this fall and has not been able to recover. The disease made him weaker and weaker, and he was wheezing whenever he breathed. He kept coughing and then died. ”

Fihrin recalled the servant. He wasn't young anymore, but he wasn't very old either.

I was astonished at his death, and had to stand silently, while Valles had brought him a chair and a cup and plate.

He looked disgruntled as he sat down, but he ignored him, as he soon understood King Creek's own set of etiquette.

"What about you, Your Majesty, are you all right?" Filin never remembered that you were still in bed at this time of the morning. ”

King Creek made an impatient voice, "It's annoying. It's not a sickness, it's just a bout of vertigo, and when he moves faster, he gets dizzy.

Every morning Filin thought that he would not get dizzy anymore, but when he got up, he felt as if all the stones in Fort Stag were rolling under Filin's body.

So I had to lie on the bed to eat and drink something, and then slowly get up, and by noon I was fine.

Filming thought it had something to do with the winter cold, though the doctor had said it might be an old sword wound—about the same as it was at your age.

You see, the scar is still there, but Filin thinks the wound has long since healed. King Creek leaned against the curtain of the bed, bent forward, and with a trembling hand stroked a strand of gray hair on his left forehead, he nodded at the sight of the old scar on his forehead.

"But, that's enough. Film's not looking for you to discuss Film's health.

Filin guessed he was wondering, why did he come to you?"

"You need Film's full report on events at Berkeley?" Filmin guessed, glancing at Valles, who was hovering to the side.

If it had been Shephess, he would have left with acquaintance a long time ago, so that Crick and Filmin could talk without any scruples.

And Filin wondered how he could be so bold as to speak his mind in front of his new servant.

However, Crick waved aside what he had just said. "It's all arranged, boy. He said heavily.

"Hermes and Filin have discussed it, so let those things go!

Filin didn't think you could tell him much about what Filin didn't know, or what I'd already guessed.

Hermes and Filin had a long talk, and I had a ...... about some things It's a pity, however, that things have happened.

Anyway, people have to rearrange it, don't they?"

A thousand words choked up in Film's throat. Your Majesty. Filin wanted to tell him. Your son wants to kill Film, kill your illegitimate grandson. Have you also had a long talk with him?

But, as Etro or Hermes had told him, he had no right to ask the king, or even whether he had entrusted the life of Filin to his young son.

Filin gritted his teeth and held back these questions in his heart.

Crick looked into Firin's eyes, then shifted his gaze to Valles. "Valles, go to the kitchen or somewhere else, don't stay here. ”

Valles didn't look very happy, but touched his nose and left. Flynn followed Crick's instructions to get up and close the door, then sat back in Flin's seat.

"Kaz Silver," he said solemnly, "won't work. ”

"Your Majesty. Fihrin looked him in the eye for a moment, then lowered his head.

"Lads with intentions sometimes do stupid things, and when someone points out their mistakes, they apologize," he said heavily. ”

Filmin suddenly looked up, wondering if he was expecting Film's apology, but he continued: "Filmin took such an apology mildly and accepted it, and now it's time to continue."

Trust Filin!" he said softly, not as if he were about to make any demands.

"The less you say, the easier it is to remedy the situation. ”

Filming leaned back in his chair, took a breath, and sighed cautiously. After a while, Filin reined himself and looked up at him frankly. "Rong Feilin, may I ask why you summoned Feilin, Your Majesty the King?"

"There is an unpleasant matter," he said unhappily, "Duke Planck of Velotru thinks that Filin ought to settle the matter, and he fears that if Filin does not deal with it, the consequences will be disastrous. He felt that if he acted directly......

Politically unappropriate. Fihrin reluctantly agreed to his request.

Haven't the people had enough of the internal troubles and the external troubles brought on by the robbers? But they still have the right to ask for Film, and it is the duty of Filmin to grant them. So, you will do justice for the king once again, Kaz. ”

He told Filyn Velotru about the situation in every detail.

A woman arrives at Fort Ripple from Seal Bay to express her desire to serve as a warrior to Planck.

He gladly accepted, for she was strong and capable, with clubs, bows, and swords, and was as beautiful and strong as a sea otter, delicate and swarthy and round.

Her arrival was very well received by the Guards, and she soon became a favored member of Planck's court. She is not a charismatic type, but she has the courage and willpower of a leader. Planck himself grew to appreciate her, as she reinvigorated the city and instilled a new spirit in his guards.

But she had recently made herself a prophet and prophet, declaring that the goddess of the sea had given her a greater mission, and that her name was Medigar, and that although her parents were unknown, she had now renamed herself the heroine in a ritual of fire, wind, and water.

She eats only the meat of the beasts she has hunted, and her room is full of homemade decorations or gifts of victory in martial arts.

Her retinue came from a large number, including some young nobles and soldiers who followed her.

She preached to the honor and glory of El, to uphold the rules of tradition, and to promote a strict and simple way of life to glorify the honor that a person has earned by his own strength.

She sees the robbery and smelting as El punishing people for their indecisiveness, and accuses the Zhiyuan family for fostering this weakness. She spoke of these things cautiously at first, and then became clearer, but she did not dare to outright incite betrayal.

However, the ritual of slaughtering cattle and sacrificing blood still takes place on the cliffs by the sea, and she smeared the blood on many young people, as she did in ancient times, and sent them out to explore the so-called spirits.

Planck hears that she is still waiting for someone on her par to join her plan to overthrow the Zhiyuan family, and together they will rule the country, ending the age of peasants and starting the era of warriors.

According to Vilotro, many young people are already rushing to pursue the honor. But Planck hoped that she would stop these actions before he accused her of treason, lest he have to force his men to choose between the heroine and himself.

Crick believed that if she was defeated in a joust, or had a tragic accident, or had a strange disease that made her weak and ugly, her followers would plummet.

Filin had to agree that this was a possible evolution, but also reminded him that many people had instead attained godlike status after death. Crick agrees with Firin, but only if the man dies honorably.

Then, abruptly, he changed the subject.

In Ripple Fort in Seal Bay, there is an ancient scroll that Hermes wanted to transcribe, a list of all the members of the group who had come from Vilotru to perform arcane spells for the king, and I had heard that there were some relics left behind by the ancient spirits who helped protect the city at Ripple Fort.

Crick hoped that Filmin would leave for Seal Bay the next day to transcribe the scrolls and visit the relics, and then come back to report back to him.

and conveyed the king's blessings and faith to Planck, telling the duke that the unrest would soon subside.

Film understands.

As he gets up to leave, Crick holds up a hand and signals Philin to stop, while Filin stands and waits for instructions.

"Do you think Filin still keeps his word to you?" was an old question, he started asking when he met him as a child, and it made Filin laugh.

"Your Majesty, yes. Film, as usual, said.

"Then let's see if you're consistent. He paused for a moment, then added, as never before, "Remember, any injury to Kaz Silverglow, Filin's loved ones is tantamount to damage to Firin." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"You're not going to hurt Filin's relatives, are you?"

Filin straightened up. Filin understood what he was asking. Fei Lin humbly replied to him: "Your Majesty, he will not harm your relatives, he swears to the Zhiyuan family. ”

He nodded slowly. He had forced an apology from His Majesty, and had received a promise from Filin that he would not kill his son, and he probably believed that he had reconciled them.

Outside his room, he paused and brushed his hair back, reminding himself of the promise he had just made.

Filin pondered it and forced himself to see the price to be paid for keeping his word.

A wave of bitterness swept over him, until Filin compared it to the consequences of not keeping his word.

Then, finding his hesitation, he immediately threw them out of his mind, and then decided to keep his promise to the king.

There was no real peace between Filin and His Majesty, but at least he was at ease.

This decision made Filin feel much better, and he deliberately strode towards the other end of the hallway.
