240 The Missing King

Return to Moon City, the Imperial Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's late at night, but the officials who should have rested still haven't chosen to go home. Needless to say, the general Zajira is one of them, and even Phoenix, who only knows his sister, gave up the opportunity to accompany Fias at this moment and chose to stay.

All the people present, each one of them is a pillar of the country, and every one of them is a big man, and now they are gathered together, and their faces are full of anxiety, which inevitably makes people worry about the current situation of the country.

"Did you find it?!"

Seeing a soldier running over panting, General Zajira hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the collar on the opposite side and asked loudly.

"I didn't ...... Didn't find ......"

The soldier was frightened, Zajira's momentum was not ordinary, and now he was still a strong man of the Sacred Heart Class, and a small character like him couldn't withstand the anger of the other side at all.

“...... General, don't be angry, the soldier is not wrong, and it will not help you to be angry with him. ”

Seeing that the general's mentality was a little wrong, Phoenix, the only one who could be on an equal footing with him, stepped forward and hurriedly persuaded him.

The situation was messy enough, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

“......”

After listening to this, Zajira looked back at Phoenix, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, gritted his teeth, and finally chose to give up.

"Hoo ......"

Seeing that the most dangerous man had gone to the side to sulk, Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the panicked soldier's hand, and asked kindly.

"How's it going, Is there any whereabouts for Her Highness Ovilia?"

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

The frightened soldier relaxed when he saw Phoenix, and began to answer his questions.

"As you intended, I went to Her Highness Auwellia's private residence after receiving the order, but her valet told me that Her Highness Ovilia had not returned for several days, and His Majesty had not seen her. ”

"Sure enough......"

Hearing such an answer, he groaned.

"Your Excellency...... Next...... What should we do?"

Seeing that Phoenix did not give any further instructions, the soldier took the initiative to ask.

“...... Wait at the house of Her Highness Ovilia, as before, and let me know as soon as you hear of her return. ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the soldier left the main hall very decisively.

The atmosphere here is very bad, and many officials have a bitter face, God knows how they will be angry with a small role like themselves if they get angry. While you're still alive, it's better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"Phoenix-sama......"

At this time, someone next to him suddenly called him.

"What's wrong? Lord Zajira?"

That's right, the one who called him was Zajira, who was still sulking there just now, only to see the middle-aged general step forward and pull him aside.

"That...... Phoenix, I know you're very good at handling things, and I can't help much in this situation, so I'm a little anxious just now, don't take it to heart. ”

"Of course, you and I are both courtiers of the royal family, and at this time, we should work together instead of fighting over some trivial matters. ”

Phoenix nodded slowly.

"That'...... What do you think, this time the thing ...... Could it be that His Majesty is in some danger?"

Zajira paused.

"You see, Your Majesty is usually elusive, often can't be seen, and he doesn't bring a guard with him, but he is still very attentive to his work, and there has never been a situation like this, if someone takes advantage of His Majesty's ......"

"Shh......h

Phoenix hurriedly made a silent gesture, and after confirming that the people around him did not hear, he pulled him to a more remote corner.

"General...... I know you're worried about Your Majesty, but if you say something like this in the future, I hope you'd better pay attention to the occasion. ”

"Why?"

After all, he is a martial artist, Zajira, as a general, is very good in terms of strength and command of the army, but he is not very good at officialdom, and the reason why he can sit in this position today is entirely by virtue of his own ability.

Therefore, among all the courtiers, Ovilia's favorite is this general.

He is very good, but he has no scheming and is loyal to himself, and he is a perfect person to rely on.

In comparison, Phoenix is also very good, and can even be said to be perfect, but Ovilia did not give him the command of the army, which is both civil and military, and even made this former head of the Knights, who was stronger than Zajira, a civilian official.

During the conversation between Ovilia and Chang, Fias once spoke for the completely suppressed Ovilea, saying something like "My brother is better at management".

Of course, this is not unreasonable, Phoenix is indeed very good in domestic affairs, and is not inferior to his military force in any way. But in the end, it was precisely his ability that made Ovilia make this decision.

That's right, he's so good, so good that people have to guard against it. As a courtier, it is naturally very good, but once you rebel, it is extremely dangerous.

"General, you also know that His Majesty the Iron Mask has set up a lot of enemies since he came to power, and if the current situation is known to those who are eyeing him, then they are likely to take the opportunity to do something......

"This ......"

Zajira isn't very shrewd, but that doesn't mean he's stupid, and Phoenix is a little bit broken about this kind of thing, and he understands the problem.

He immediately got up and looked around.

As expected, the officials in high positions next to them were already looking at their side, and when they went to see them, they all hurriedly bowed their heads and put on a very anxious look.

Reliaga is also rich and powerful, but who can know that in a huge country, there are only a small number of people who are really sincere, and the others are all wishing for Ovilia to die.

The king has only one wife, and this wife has not yet given birth to any heirs, and once something happens to the king, it is really not certain who will fall into the hands of the throne, and these guys whose status is not as high as Phoenix and Zajira also have the opportunity to start over and gain the trust of the new king.

Therefore, after learning that the king had an accident, these guys, who were very worried on the surface, actually had a long time of joy in their hearts.

Disappear for a few more days......

Disappear for a few more days......

The country cannot be without a king, as long as you have been absent long enough, you will have a reason to set up a new king, and even if you come back, it will only be ......

"Newspaper--Your Majesty the Iron Mask has arrived-"

Then, the fantasies of those guys were shattered under such a notice.
