It didn't take long for the news of the tragic death of Archimedes, a villain, to spread throughout Two Moon City. The direction of the wind in the city has suddenly become different from before.

Augustine no longer had to sneak into the palace because the king had given him a free identity and title.

As for Archimedes' property and power, it was also thoroughly investigated after his death, and some previously unknown secrets gradually began to surface.

The intelligence network that originally belonged to Archimedes was also calculated by Lan Ke and Roy, and completely became an institution working for the king. As for their leader, Rand appointed Roy, who was already familiar with this part of the workflow, regardless of his previous suspicions.

In this regard, Roy seemed somewhat flattered, because in his heart, he was still feeling self-reproach for Roland's death.

So when Roy appeared in front of Rand, he felt very guilty and uneasy.

However, unexpectedly, Rand's performance at this time was very calm. He said slowly: "Those things at the beginning, even if you don't do them, someone else will do them, and the ending is actually doomed from the beginning." So you don't have to feel too guilty about yourself. If you really feel indebted, you can assist me in the future and help me create a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

Listening to Rant's words, Roy felt mixed feelings, and some were speechless, but nodded vigorously.

And in this incident, the biggest contributor to Archimedes is naturally none other than Lan Ke.

In addition, Lan Ke was originally an upstart in the eyes of others, and he was deeply valued and loved by the king, so the nobles of the family in Shuangyue City were also concerned about how the king would reward Lan Ke this time. After all, after Archimedes' death, the position of prime minister became vacant. Although Lan Ke is young, judging from the characteristics of the king Rand who has always preferred to promote young nobles, with Lan Ke's family background, talent and achievements, it seems that it is not impossible for him to become the youngest prime minister in the history of the Moon Country.

So this matter has been circulating in the market for the past few days.

But unexpectedly, the person who was finally chosen by Rand as prime minister was not Lan Ke, but Noah, who has always been known for his good temper in Twin Moon City. This also caused a lot of discussion and speculation in Shuangyue City.

In all fairness, Noah and Lan Ke were both born into famous families and were both classmates of the king, so from this point of view, the conditions of the two are actually equal.

But if you look at their differences, there is actually a big difference between the two.

Due to his family background, Lan Ke has always given people the impression of being cunning and intelligent. Although he is usually very polite, others will still think that he likes to calculate people, and he is very calculating at a young age. In addition, the recent events of Archimedes have also put him in the limelight, so almost everyone knows that Lan Ke is a sharp and ruthless character.

Noah, on the other hand, feels the opposite. He is a famous noble son in Shuangyue City, with a gentle and elegant personality, and he is not angry or arguing, so he gives people a very good impression. Therefore, everyone's impression of Lan Ke and Noah is often at two extremes.

As for why Rand chose Noah to be prime minister in the end, there is actually a reason. Just looking at the individual's character and ability, in fact, both of them are quite good.

Lan Ke is the kind of sharp intelligence, and Noah will give people a sense of wisdom and foolishness. However, Noah's personality is much kinder than Lan Kelai's, and his interpersonal relationships in Two Moon City are quite good, which is not comparable to the people of the Morris family, who have always been weird and calculating.

At the same time, Noah has always been a partner and complementary relationship with Xia Zuo, another important minister in the court. So in various senses, Noah is indeed more suitable for the position of prime minister than Lan Ke.

Although Lan Ke also knew in his heart that the king's appointment plan was the most reasonable arrangement for the Moon Country at present. But for some reason, in the face of such a result, Lan Ke still felt a little lost in his heart, and he felt that his efforts were not recognized by the king in the end.

In all fairness, although Lan Ke failed to become the prime minister in the end, he was able to become an important minister around the kingdom at his age, and even became the king's henchman, Lan Ke felt that this was enough, and he was not particularly confined to the position of prime minister.

What really made Lan Ke mind was that the king didn't really trust him, and even treated him a little differently. Especially at the court meeting, when Lan Ke looked at the young ministers who were already familiar with the king and talked with the king in a casual and easy conversation, Lan Ke's feeling would come to a particularly strong point.

Although Lan Ke has not shown his emotions in front of anyone, in his heart, he actually still cares about these things. Ranko knew that because he was from the Morris family, everyone would look at him with a stereotype. People think that the people from the Morris family are all scheming, and everything they do has their own purpose and calculation.

Of course, Lan Ke did not deny that such a tradition did exist in the family, but he was actually longing in his heart, something that some ordinary people could simply own, but it was a luxury for him. Therefore, sometimes, when Lan Ke looked at Noah and Xia Zuo and they were talking nonsense with the king in the palace, he felt a little uncomfortable.

So in this imperial meeting, Lan Ke has always been in a somewhat absent-minded state.

When the others saw Lan Ke like this, they thought that Lan Ke was dissatisfied with the king and Noah because he missed the position of prime minister, and was waiting to see a good show!

The king, however, seemed to have no notice of the unusual atmosphere in the court, and left the conference room when the meeting was over. After all, Archimedes' estate is more than Lante expected at the beginning, and the Holy Court has been waiting for the results of the search, so the king still has a lot of important things to deal with, and naturally he will not care about these small details.

Lan Ke has always been a loner, so as usual, after the meeting ended, he left the conference room alone.

Unexpectedly, before Lan Ke had gone far, a voice came from behind him: "Please wait a minute, Lord Morris!" ”

Lan Ke stopped and turned to look. Then he found out that the person who came was Noah, who had just become the prime minister, so he put a standard smile on his face and said, "Prime Minister, what's the matter?" ”

Noah said casually, "It's not a big deal." It's just that although we are all officials in the court now, I still don't know much about you, Lord Maurice. So I'm here to say hello to you, and I hope we can get acquainted with each other as soon as possible, and we can better serve the country in the future, and we can work together happily. ”

"You're kind to that." Lan Ke smiled and said, "No matter what, we are all working hard for the future of the Moon Country, and we are comrades-in-arms with a common goal, so you don't need to come out of your way to say hello, just feel free." It doesn't have to be that way. ”

Noah also smiled: "You're right, we were originally classmates, just be casual." Then Lan Ke, don't call me any prime minister when you see me in the future, just call me by my name. Saying that, Noah also patted Lan Ke on the shoulder and said, "It's not too early, I still have some things to discuss with Xia Zuo and them, so I'll leave first!" ”

Then Noah disappeared into the hallway, leaving Lan Ke alone standing in place, a little dazed.

Lanke......

Lan Ke silently recited his name in his heart, feeling that this feeling was very incredible.

Noah was the first person other than his parents to directly call Lan Ke by his name. In the past, whether it was the ministers of the court or the king, they would only call Lord Morris Ranko. So this feeling of being called by his peers is really a little strange for Lan Ke.

Lan Ke showed a thoughtful expression, and then couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the end of the corridor where Noah had disappeared.

Lan Ke felt that he seemed to understand some of the reasons why the king chose Noadam as prime minister. I am afraid that there is indeed no one in the court now, who will be more suitable for this position than Noah.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lan Ke's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, not the stylized kind, but from the heart. Maybe even Lan Ke himself didn't realize that his state of mind was slowly changing.
