The morning sun walks with the wind, the dew evaporates, the fog gradually blows, and a new day is ushered in.

When Adesha woke up, Oran didn't leave her side.

It was the first time Orlan had done so, and she didn't feel alone anymore.

The sunlight warms the room, but also melts her selfishness, calculation, and suspicion.

She watched Oran's long eyelashes sink into concentration, and suddenly reached out and flicked it gently, then pinched Oran's nose.

Orlan woke up immediately.

When he opened his eyes, his face was a little itchy because Adesha was running her hair across her face.

Everything freezes in this moment.

Oran also looked at Adesha in a daze, and both of them burst out laughing.

Happiness is so peaceful.

"It's autumn, the wheat fields look like golden waves, it's the happiest day of the year for farmers, then winter, snow will fall everywhere, then spring will turn and the cycle will repeat, and then in summer, a new life will be born." ”

Adesha put Oran's hand on her belly.

"You!"

"My menstrual period is late, and I feel that a new life will be born in my body, do you think it will be a boy? Actually, I prefer girls. ”

Adesha looked at Oran's eyes, wanting to see how Oran's reaction was.

"Don't take any chances, I'll arrange for someone to send you back, and if anything happens to the Sain Assembly, you and my children will be fine. I'll prepare it right away. ”

Oran forced his feet, but was pushed down by Adesha.

"Lie to you, you stay with me for a while."

Another sweet talk.

An hour later, Oran left the bed, and when Adesha got out of bed, she touched her stomach and slowed down, extremely careful, she had already received Oran's answer.

Today is a seven-day Sunday for Christians.

In the past, when the Vikings liked to invade the most, most of the lords and lords would meet in the nearest church or place of worship to be the most emptily guarded.

There is another day before the Sain Conference.

Today's prayer will also pray for the king's blessing.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, King Ella was looking in the direction of the church from the castle tower and muttering to himself.

"Why are you doing so much? Look at the hundreds of White Eagle soldiers outside, I have already agreed with Orlan that if you do it, if you fail, these soldiers will attack us immediately.

Even if we win, it will affect our plan to recover the three southern counties, and in a few days later, the Mercia flag will be planted on those lands. ”

"You are the king, not the county magistrate, only you have the share of negotiating conditions, and he deserves it, besides, he arrested my brother, and I haven't seen anyone until now, maybe he has been killed, since you don't want to avenge me, then I'll come myself."

"Your way of revenge is by contacting the 'Archbishop Lufas' privately?

I also had secret conversations with John and even other nobles of the kingdom with the intention of behaving in ways that would affect my interests.

And elect your good son-in-law William as the representative of the nobility, and control one more vote.

Haian, don't forget, I'm your husband. ”

"Ala, don't forget, whoever supported you on the throne, without the support of our family in Northumbria and Carlisle, you would be a down-and-out prince who would go to the royal court every time your brother's birthday came, and show off his strength like a clown to please the king.

You go to your slut daughter Pepa and take your anger out on her, she's the one you can do whatever you want. ”

This was one of the countless quarrels between the two, and Haian was not at ease and walked straight out.

King Ella's clenched fist was lowered again, and his expression changed.

After noon, all the magistrates and priests went to the church, and the soldiers and people of the city waited outside.

Towards the end of the afternoon, Adesha had entered the seat of the king and princess and began to talk to them.

Adesha then walked out with the princess.

King Ella looked at Adesha's back with distraughtness, and he wanted to have another lover......

Slowly, the nobles came out one after another.

But the princess and Adesha, who walked out of the arena first, became more and more happy the more they talked, and disappeared into the crowd, and Haian did not even attend Ella's dinner that night.

Towards dusk, Archbishop Lufas "specially" took people to the outlying villages and towns to bless the outlying villagers who could not come.

The First Cause of All Worlds

This unusual move did not stop Sals from doing so, as he found that the archbishop had left with only two of his assistants.

It's better to assassinate this way.

Before the sun sets, flames emanate all around it.

Oran stood in the room, looking at the fluttering leaves of an old oak tree outside, and after a few blinks, the scenery changed instantly, and when the earth entered the night sky, the oak trees were black, but when they looked up at the sky, the stars were shining in the morning, and it was a new beauty.

Natural beauty can calm people's minds, feel small, and depress pride.

The murderous intent and desire to dominate that grew day and night made Orlan a little breathless.

He prefers more and more to be alone and sit still, thinking about the next step.

People are born lonely, and when they die, they are also lonely, and when they die, there are not many things that can be left.

Orlan fell into deep thought until the Titan's voice sounded outside the room.

"Your Excellency, I have already told Your Majesty in advance, and now it is time for dinner, and Hu has always invited you over."

"Let's go."

Oran led ten men into the King's Hall, and the soldiers retreated outside.

On this day, the hall was empty, and there was no county magistrate except for the servants who served the food and the soldiers who protected the security.

After Oran's salutation, he was arranged by the servants to be made directly opposite King Ella's long table.

Orlan didn't speak, Ella didn't ask, and the two of them finished the meal in great silence.

Ella's Knight of Servant today is Alex, the Knight of the Holy Bone that he canonized.

The man stood as straight as a tree.

The whole time he didn't dare to look away, he looked at Ella's side.

After a full meal.

"Alex."

"Your Excellency?"

"I heard that you also participated in the very heroic Battle of Canterbury and were lucky to survive, tell me how you escaped the Vikings, and tell me the story of the Earl of the Holy Bone, I admire the heroes who died against the Vikings."

In order to transform from a thief to a true knight, Alex inevitably added the stories he heard.

The more he told the story, the more fluent it became, making it feel like he was in the middle of it.

The ferocity of the Vikings, the bravery of the Count of the Holy Bones, the thrill of Alex taking the bones.

Between the tables, which were a few meters long, the servants on the side were excited.

"And how many scars do you have on you?" Oran asked meaningfully.

"Seven-of-a-kind."

"Didn't you say Hachijo last time?" Ella lowered her glass.

Alex knew that he was quick to speak for a while, and immediately explained, "Your Majesty, there is a scar that was actually added from an old injury, so I won't count it." ”

Alex then took the initiative to introduce each scar.

Orlan already doesn't want to listen to this nonsense.

Hachijo?

This is the Bone Knight?

Kunsang, who was protecting him, was scarred from head to toe, but he never bragged about it once.

Ella is a fool, put up with him for a few more days.

"Your Majesty, I want to say a few words to you, let them all go down."

After Orlan finished speaking, Ella's eyes fell into alarm, but she thought that there were also her own people outside the house, so she waved her hand to clear the room.

There were only two left, and Orlan took the contents out of his cuffs and threw them to Ella.

It was a piece of straw paper with tomorrow's process written on it, which was a little different from what the two had discussed earlier.

Orlan began to explain, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be an accident tomorrow. ”

"What accident?"

"When I close my eyes these days, I feel that there are villains who want to harm me, and this premonition is too strong, and when I open my eyes, I hear rumors that are not good for me.

They say that I killed my uncle, that I took the territory of Lord El, that I drove the Vikings to rob the believers, and that I deceived the king.

These rumors have all come out of the princess's camp without exception, and you say, what should I do?"

"The gossip stops with the wise, Oran."

"But fools love to create rumors, and that woman is a fool!"

"Do you know that you are insulting my wife, the mistress of the kingdom, and your female prince!" Ella slapped the long table angrily.

"Your Majesty, the princess must be attached to you, she is the princess, otherwise she is nothing. But she didn't understand her position, she didn't know what challenges the kingdom was facing, and she only had selfish desires in her eyes.

She forcibly asked the other county governors to support the archbishop to attend the vote, and the book field of the dead priest would not be returned to the church?

William as a representative of the nobility, who did he represent?

He is not the magistrate, but only attached to you, to a baron under Northumbry, and this more vote is tantamount to diluting your rights in disguise.

When the Archbishop and Governor John of Carlisle came to Dan, the first thing they did was to see the princess.

At the dinner, John looked at the princess's gaze, full of obscenity and filth, which is not what an honest vassal should have.

The princess even sent someone to assassinate me, do you know!"

With that, Oran showed the king the arm he had cut the last time he had sworn an oath to Gliese.

Ella half-believed, "You just make a wound, and say that the princess secretly hurt you?"

"Your kindness, your kindness makes you not believe that the person at the pillow is so vicious, and I understand very well, but if a child makes a mistake, the parents should correct it, and the wife should be domineering, and the husband should guide her to humility and submission.

Look, what does it mean that at tonight's dinner, only me and you, and all the county magistrates have received the invitation of the princess to disappear and leave the city?"

Ella was told to be worried, but did not respond, and began to pour wine, then drank it into her throat.

He waited for Orlan to say, if he was interested, he would return, and if he was not interested, he would hear it.

"Conspiracy, a great conspiracy is brewing!" After Oran finished speaking, he stopped speaking, poured his own wine, and tasted it slowly.

Ella couldn't sit still, and asked, "I am his husband, even if there is a conspiracy, it will not be me, no matter what, tomorrow I will rule the kingdom, and no one can stop it." ”

"Your Majesty, after eradicating me, all the county magistrates supported you?

I don't think so, in the past few years of the split, the governors of the kingdom have disrespected the authority of the king, waged war with each other, used the border line as an ornament, sometimes relied on the large number of people, and did not pay taxes when passing through the direct command of the royal family.

Do you know how many people there are in the three southern counties now?

The princess has been behind you for too long, her shadow completely covers your light, and she has the idea that if you die and your son succeeds to the throne, she will immediately rule the country and become queen.

How much land did she occupy with Gullet? Did you know?

Also, I recently asked people to calculate, plus the tomb robber outside, Sals, the future Earl of Yorkshire, you have rewarded half of the kingdom in total.

How do you deliver on your promises?

Continuing to wage war?

Night and night fear of being overthrown and assassinated by these disgruntled people?"

Oran's question, the trick to hit Ella accurately.

Before he became a king, he gave the three southern counties the title of 7788, and even his son-in-law William got the status of Baron Manchester.

Earlier, this kind of reward, with just a few pieces of paper and a ceremony, could be exchanged for the desperate allegiance of those people, but now the antidote has become poison.

Ella leaned back in her chair and was speechless for a long time.

A king who has not received a monarch's education, and after usurping the throne, he is addicted to alcohol and insults his daughter, and he lives in fear and fear all the time.

"Change the princess, Your Majesty."

These words made Ella's eyes light up and she saw new possibilities.

He straightened up and asked, "For whom?!"

"Anyone, princess of the Franks, princess of Wessex, whatever you like, cut off the rebels led by the princess, and your promises will be fulfilled to the fullest.

While you are alive, no one will be able to threaten your reign again.

Even me.

I will propose tomorrow to strengthen the authority of the king, and in the future vassals will not be allowed to go to war with each other, and the annual taxes and services to be paid will also be increased.

The nobility should respect the royal rules and write them into the law.

We will re-establish a new nation, and you will surpass the kings of your ancestors. ”

Sometimes one step back is two steps forward, and if the king joins forces with himself against other magistrates, he will be invincible.

As for the provisions of the royal power law, Oran also left a hand, and the position of the palace minister (the king's hand) would be above the other county governors, equal to the royal family.

"Is your idea possible? Aland. ”

"Your Majesty! Things can only be known when they are done, not counting the other county magistrates, just because you and my forces converge, sixty percent of the entire Dan City is our people.

I'm just afraid that if I really do it, too many traitors will die.

At the meeting, I will arrange everything and before the sun goes down, everything will be back on track. ”

"Haian can't die."

"Of course, she is a noble princess, and only you can judge her, but careerists such as William and John should be reprimanded so that they dare not harbor any more dissenting intentions."

After saying that, Oran shouted out for Kunsang to come in, and then gave a few words, Kunsang walked out of the hall, but after a while, Koons came in with a few more people and pulled a large box.

When the box opened, it was Gulie!

It's just that his mouth is gagged, he is unconscious, and his body is bent.

His hands and feet had been broken before he could fit into the box.

"Your Majesty, he was injured by Shi Meng, this is what he looked like when I rescued him, and now I need your assurance."

"What guarantees?"

"Kill him and break with the princess completely."

"Impossible."

"I have mobilized all the military forces that can be used in the territory, and the back road has been arranged, if you don't kill him, it depends on who is fast!

As soon as the time comes, Kunsang doesn't go out with the box, there will be a sea of fire below, and the future of the kingdom depends on your wisdom. ”

With that, Orlan closes the box and asks King Ella to reopen it and kill it.

A good way to get someone to agree with you is to leave him with no other choice.

Kunsang then began to count the seconds, and Ella nervously shouted at the guards outside, but Kunsang took the first step, rushed to the window, and yelled outward, followed by a commotion outside.

In the hall, more than a dozen soldiers were divided into two factions, and their swords were tense.

Oran also walked to the window, looked at the sky, and said slowly, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight." ”

......

On the dim country road, the torches were lit up instantly.

The two assistants around the archbishop became twenty men, and the number surrounded him.

Seeing that the assassination was unsuccessful, Sals wanted to escape, but more soldiers appeared in the surrounding forest.

The princess with a gloomy face, the other county magistrates who are watching the show, and Adesha!

"Your Majesty, tell me exactly what you said, assassinate the archbishop, and send someone to snipe the Lord Mayor of Manchester on the road, Orlan has gone mad."

Earlier, Adesha told the princess that Oran wanted to buy her with a broken ring, and asked the princess to bring all the county magistrates to watch it in person, and sit on Oran's sins.

Seeing this, the other county magistrates really committed assassinations and scolded Orlan one after another.

The Governor of Yorkshire and the Governor of Edinburgh, who had negotiated terms with Oran, were silent, but at this time, they said that they would submit to the Princess's proposal, and at tomorrow's meeting, they would create a royal family that did not need the king and Oran.

The Governor of Cartana, Manchester, walked up to the princess and first expressed his friendliness to Adesha, "Thank you, madam, for your kindness. ”

"No thanks, I just want him to know, the consequences of humiliating me, and to help the country return to His Majesty Hai'an."

Sari also saluted Adesha and folded her hands towards the moon and praised, "All-knowing and Almighty, thank you for hearing my request. ”

"Kill back now, and judge this bastard overnight?" William asked.

"No, Orlan has a lot of follow-ups, such as if Sals doesn't go back, his soldiers will attack.

He brought a thousand men, and the group of Vikings to the north, all under his command, because he had promised the Vikings great benefits, and it was too late for us to temporarily recruit troops, and he was already very suspicious of the postponement of the Council of Thain for so many days.

The best way to do this is for Sals to come to us and report the false letter.

We dragged Orlando for two or three days while we recruited soldiers from nearby towns, and when the soldiers arrived, we would expose his vileness before the king and get rid of the demons. ”

The proposal was accepted, and the crowd looked at Sals, and then the princess spoke, "Repentance is your only life, otherwise, death." ”

Sals didn't expect it to turn out like this, everything came too suddenly.

Orlan is going to lose?

Choosing the wrong king?

In any case, he couldn't die yet, and the desire for revenge made him lower his face, and then when he raised it again, he pretended to be pitiful, and tried his best to let his eyes tear up, "I am willing to repent, I am willing, I was wrong, Your Majesty." ”

Sals then crawled up to Hai'an, trying to kneel at her heels and salute with his head.

The ugliness of wriggling like a worm made Haian decide that Sals would die a few days later.

The night was full of undercurrents, but nothing happened.

The commotion below the Dan City Hall quickly subsided.

Sals went back to report the good news to Oran.

At dawn, the hearts of all the county magistrates attending the meeting were like pressing a big stone.

Politics relies on the team, and once the wrong choice is made, the sequelae are huge.

In an open plaza below the hall, Ella held the Assembly of Thein, which had been interrupted for many years.

When all the magistrates arrived, Orlan was too late, but no one spoke out about him.

His seat was on the left hand side of King Ella, and before he sat down, he also politely greeted Princess Hai'an on the right hand.

When Oran sat down, the meeting began, but it was not the archbishop who came out to speak, but a middle-aged priest whose name Oran could not name.
