Chapter 104: Body Search
After confirming Dumas's identity, the captain quickly recruited a team of palace guards and took Dumas, Feng Gino, and Mark who pretended to be Dumas's assistants all the way to the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not the first time Mark has come to Shelley's Palace, the last time he came with Gruson, everyone was respectful to him, the future wizard, and this time he pretended to be Dumas's assistant, and all he saw was a high-spirited face and disdainful eyes, which Mark didn't expect.
After settling Vongino, Shirley, Thorne, and Sophia at a post station outside the palace, Dumas took Mark into the palace with one of the female officials in the palace.
The layout of the palace was similar to that of a decade ago, and Mark looked at a separate palace in the distance, and he remembered that he had followed Grusen there to test the wizarding qualifications of the noble children of the Shelley Kingdom.
The palace was very large, and the female official who led the way probably took into account that Dumas was a little old and did not walk fast, and before she had reached half the way, she saw a middle-aged man with a delicate mustache and a calm face hurriedly walking out of the palace, and when she saw Dumas coming, she hurriedly shouted:
"Dumas, you're finally here!"
As he spoke, he trotted over, stopped at a distance of more than ten meters, and bowed slightly.
When several female officials saw the middle-aged man coming, they quickly stopped and knelt on the side of the road. shouted in unison: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"
Dumas was stunned, and just as he was about to salute, the eldest prince had already stepped forward and grabbed Dumas's arm and said:
"My name is Larry, you don't have to be polite, I have been waiting for more than half a month, you are the first miracle doctor to arrive, please come with me. ”
As he spoke, he took Dumas's hand and walked briskly inside. And Mark was walking behind with Dumas's medicine box on his back at this time, and when he saw his titular brother-in-law, he found a trace of Linda's shadow on his face. He was a little nervous for no reason, and he was about to see his son Iris, his first offspring.
Under the leadership of Larry, the speed of several people was much faster, and soon they came to the gate of a palace, outside which were standing seven or eight people dressed about the same age as Larry.
Mark could see at a glance that these should be his many brothers-in-law. It's just that among so many people, there are only two people who have reached the level of strong warriors, one is the eldest prince Larry, and the other is thin and has extremely sharp eyes, judging by his appearance, his age should not be much younger than Larry.
"Big brother, the miracle doctor is here, you don't need to be so positive, do you? Do you want to give you more impression when your father wakes up?"
"Hmph, Al, your father is very sick, and you can still laugh?!" Larry glared at Al, but without saying much, he led Dumas into the palace.
"Wait—" Al stretched out his right hand to stop in front of Larry, and said with an arrogant expression, "If you enter your father's bedroom, you will have to search your body, who knows if he is a real doctor or an assassin!"
"You-" Larry's face turned red with anger, "This is the divine doctor that the Queen Mother asked the ambassador to invite!
"Rules are rules, do you want to break the rules set by your father?" Al looked at Larry mockingly, and waved his hand proudly, and more than a dozen guards in iron armor immediately stepped forward and surrounded Dumas and Mark.
"Al—don't go too far!" Larry said word for word, staring at Al.
"If you don't want to, you can leave with this so-called famous doctor, I won't stop you. Al still smiled.
Larry stared at Al for a moment, then exhaled slowly, turned back to Dumas apologetically:
"Mr. Dumas, if you don't mind—"
"Ah, no problem, I don't have anything forbidden anyway. Come on!"
Dumas opened his hand and slowly closed his eyes, a look of humiliation flashed in his eyes, as a miracle doctor, where did he come from not to be served respectfully, when had he ever had such an experience?
Although the expression on Dumas's face was vague, it did not escape the second prince Al, who had been paying attention to him. Sensing Dumas's resentment, he touched his chin proudly, and those who knew him well knew that this was his habitual move after his plot succeeded.
Seeing that several ironclad guards in front of him were already searching Dumas, Mark's brows furrowed slightly. The majesty of a wizard is inviolable, even if it is a simple body search.
He thought about it, and a wave of spiritual power that ordinary people could not feel gradually spread in his body, and this fluctuation implied that everyone around him ignored his existence. It's Babaka's innate skill: ignorance.
Sure enough, after searching Dumas, everyone ignored Mark, and under Larry's leadership, Dumas and Mark entered the king's bedchamber. And it didn't take long for the seven or eight princes outside the door to rush in.
"Dumas, don't be angry, that was the second prince El just now, who always went against me, and I'm very sorry for affecting you today. ”
Larry explained as he walked, with an apologetic look on his face. This made Dumas's face look much better, after all, as the first in line to the throne, it was already very sincere to put such a low posture in front of Dumas.
At this moment, Mark, who was following behind Dumas, suddenly said with a little meaning: "Your Royal Highness, did the second prince just now control the army of the royal capital?"
"This—" Larry glanced at Mark in surprise, and this glance made his expression suddenly dazed, and his mouth involuntarily replied:
"Yes, El is good at warfare, and the 30,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the royal capital are under his control, but the 3,000 Imperial Guards who guard the palace are led by his father's most trusted general, Merlin. ”
"Yes. Mark nodded, "If your father has been unconscious, whose orders will this Merlin follow?"
"Naturally, no one listens to orders. Larry said rightly.
"And what if your father dies suddenly?"
"Uh-" Larry was obviously stunned, and under Mark's gaze, he thought for a moment and replied, "It should be the order of the new king, whoever becomes the new king will obey whomever order!"
Speaking of this, Larry's brow furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and a very strange expression suddenly appeared on his originally smiling face.
Seeing his performance, Mark smiled slightly, as the eldest prince and the first heir to the kingdom, if he hadn't discovered something at this point, then no matter how miserable his ending was, Mark wouldn't pity him.
