Chapter 517, belated confession
Thundered~
Cormier's Protector Dragon landed on top of the Kingdom Council, and the white light of the Great Dragon's destruction swept across the sky, sweeping the nearby clouds into two parts.
Inside the council, cousin Maximian and cousin Robert rushed into the council with a large group of heavily armed silver dragon knights, followed by the Queen's Blade and Cormier's purple dragon knights.
The great nobles of Cormier were stunned by the scene in front of them.
What are Aaron and Alice Sere trying to do?
"You want to rebel?!" Shavar, the Grand Captain of the Purple Dragon Knights, immediately got up and roared at the Purple Dragon Knights who rushed in: "Get out!" β
The purple dragon knights who rushed in, you look at me, I look at you, they all looked puzzled, and set their eyes on the body of the Grand Inspector Ian, and the Grand Inspector also looked at the Grand Master strangely, and saw that the Grand Master was serious, so he signaled the Purple Dragon Knights to withdraw.
The Purple Dragon Knights slowly retreated.
"Salian!" Shavar then yelled at Aaron, "Let your men out!" What do you want? Do you want to rebel?! β
Aaron raised his eyebrows, and saw that the more than 300 nobles present were looking at him, and motioned to his cousin and cousin lightly: "Let's all quit." β
Maximian's expression was indifferent, Robert's face was puzzled, and the cousin thought to himself, wasn't it for Lady Egil to spray white light, and they led the Silver Dragon Knights to directly control the council? Why are we quitting now?
But he still listened to Aaron's words, and slowly retreated with the silver dragon knights.
"Yuri." Alice Serre also said, "It's okay, you're too nervous. β
And just like that, the Queen's Blade withdrew.
The Kingdom Council seems to have regained its tranquility, but the scene just now has already lingered in the hearts of many great nobles and lords, and it will not be dispersed for a long time.
"I'm sorry, guys, but your radical actions have misled the people outside." Aaron stood in front of Alice Serre, his blue eyes full of indifference: "They thought something was going on inside." β
"Don't get too excited, we at Cormier have always adhered to the idea of republicanism, we can talk about it, there is nothing we can't talk about." Alice Serre also said: "The bill is just a bill, I just put forward a proposal, whether it can be passed in the kingdom council or not depends on your opinions." β
"Now, you have read the bill explained by the attendees, please move your fingers and cast your precious vote." Alice Searle leaned on the dragon throne and signaled that it was time to start voting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, your opinion will determine whether the bill can be passed in the Kingdom Council, and if so, the bill for expropriation and the same will be true for the bill for attendance." Aaron, the new general of the expedition and the Grand Duke of Green Weilong, also said that he had returned to his position.
The council was quieter than the library at this time.
The lord of Huailun City, Sharp-Red Beard, found himself sweating unconsciously, and his hands holding the quills were shaking.
What does that mean? What exactly does Aaron and Alice Serre mean by this?
Is it intended for us to be "willingly" voluntary, or do you want us to be "represented"?
If the royal family intends to be arbitrary, then what are we still asking us to come to the conference? You can bypass the council like King Ahsan IV did and do everything yourself!
There were not a few nobles who had similar doubts like Sharp Honghu, and it was obvious that everyone was terrified by the scene just now, and the hand holding the pen hesitated for a while.
No matter how much it is, since you want us to vote, then we will do what we think, and want to make us submit through threats, there is absolutely no such reason! We are not the precepts on your fingers!
If the kingdom council just doesn't pass, I see how the two of you can get off the stage!
King Cormir, regent, I think you want to rebel!
Sharp-Redbeard, the Dragonthorn Patriarch, Duke Keniss, Duke Gordon, Lady Raul, and other nobles hesitated, but still firmly voted against.
The votes of the Royal Assembly were quickly released, with 65 votes in favor, 34 abstentions, and 197 votes against, and the royal motion of "attendance and accountability" was not passed.
Sure enough, the royal bill of Oberszir did not pass.
Many of the great nobles closed their eyes after voting, knowing that a storm was coming.
However, the change of things once again exceeded everyone's expectations, Aaron and Alice Searle did not seem to be surprised by this result, Alice Searle glanced at the voting results lightly, got up and said loudly: "Then, today's Kingdom Council is here, the "Levy Bill" was successfully passed, the "Attendance Bill" was not passed, and from today onwards, the "Levy Bill" will be officially implemented, please support me all the people of the Purple Dragon Kingdom and do not disgrace the reputation of the ancestors." β
With that, Alice Sell was the first to leave the dragon seat, followed by Aaron.
That's it?
The great nobles of Cormier looked puzzled, as if the storm came and went quickly, and it was as ridiculous as the thunder exploded in the sky, the clouds were thick, and the wind howled and did not fall a drop of rain, but the sun came out.
That's the end of it?
The great nobles had a sense of unrealism.
In any case, Aaron and Alice Sell had already left the meeting, and the Kingdom Council had ended, and there was no reason for them to remain in the meeting, and when they left the council hall, they were informed that in order to celebrate Aaron's inauguration as the general of the conquest, Susar would have a banquet that would last until tomorrow evening, so please be sure to attend.
At this time, the great nobles finally reacted.
Damn, we've got it!
After the people were almost gone, in the council, two uninvited guests hiding in the corner spoke up.
Amanata, the sun god with long white curly hair, couldn't help but praise again and again: "What a powerful method, Aaron must have a master behind him!" Now, Aaron can do things freely. β
The pink-haired eldest lady Charlotte didn't understand at all: "Father, what do you mean, didn't the bill not pass?" β
"Huh." Amanata sneered: "Daughter, sometimes, it is more important not to pass than to pass, think about it, is it possible for this bill to be passed?" β
"Of course it's impossible! To live in the capital for three to five months a year, to lead half of the army in the territory and at your own expense, a fool agrees! Charlotte said as a matter of course.
"Very well, that's right, this bill can't be passed as long as it is voted normally, and it is true...... So, if Ryuza and Aaron respected the results of the vote of the Kingdom Council, should the Kingdom Council respect the results of its own vote? Amanata pinched her chin, her expression full of admiration and aftertaste: "Interesting, so interesting, my son-in-law." β
"I still don't get it, father." Charlotte also pinched her chin in a good way, and the eldest lady said that although she didn't understand why, her brother and Alice won a big victory today!
"Tsk~" Amanata was helpless, and the god of the ancient sun law had to say a little more clearly: "Dragon Seat and Aaron deliberately did not let the second bill pass!" Ryuza and Aaron respected the result that could not be passed, which shows that they respect the parliamentary system of the existing kingdom, so should the great nobles also respect the "Requisition Bill" that was passed first? If they don't respect the "Requisition Bill" in the future, then can Ryuza also disrespect the results of the "Attendance Bill" and announce the forced implementation of the second bill? β
"The dragon, the soldiers who broke in from the outside, told all the members of the council that the dragon seat has the ability to do this, but she chooses to respect this result, then all the members must also respect the appointment of the general of Zhengyi, otherwise when the time comes, the council can lift it, and of course the dragon seat can too!" Amanata couldn't have been happier with Aaron and Alice Serre's double reed: "They bind these two things together and have a perfect balance, cause and effect for each other, and for each other. β
This is his ideal state of complete balance at both ends of the scale!
"I see! My brother is amazing! "Charlotte finally understood, the eldest lady only felt too strong my Alice, my Aaron!
"I was worried that this fiancΓ© of yours was a little too weak." Amanatamo rubbed his chin: "He either gives money or conditions to these big nobles, which will only make the big nobles feel that he is weak and bullied, and make everyone think that he is afraid of Cormier's system." β
"Now it seems that my worries are unfounded." The ancient sun god closed his eyes with ease: "Grasp both hands, both hands must be hard, and the balance of the scales will be the right way." β
"This is politics, figure out who is your friend and who is your enemy, make more friends, make fewer enemies, pull one faction to fight one faction and isolate one faction, and finally the majority is in favor and the minority is against, so that your plan can be implemented."
"Aaron, don't need my teachings, behind his back...... There must be someone to guide you. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the evening of the end of the royal parliament, a grand ceremony was held in the whole of Sossar for the inauguration of the general.
The lights were bright outside, and the candles were shining inside.
Costumed Alice Serre and Aaron sat opposite each other, and the regent sat in a royal gown with appropriate makeup and a delicate face with a layer of flush, which was beautiful in the light of the candlelight.
The regent took the initiative to pour a full glass of wine for Aaron: "In this case, you will officially become the general of the expedition, and if any nobles dare to oppose and obstruct it in the future, we can take out the staff to deal with them." β
"The attendance system is a good system, but it is only suitable for implementation on a completely isolated island like Yongju Island." Aaron took the wine from Alice's hand: "I just want to scare them, the sage of Karatu said that this house is too dark and a window must be opened, and everyone must oppose it, but if you advocate removing the roof, they will be willing to open a window." β
Alice Sel's scarlet eyes rippled with brilliance, and the regent thought to herself that it was really good to explain this system, how did he come up with it?
"In retrospect, it's been a long road." Alice Serre returned to her seat, this time it was Aaron's turn to pour her wine, while her boyfriend poured herself wine, the princess regent recalled the past, she held her face and admired Aaron's handsome charismatic face: "I started to enter the barracks at the age of 13, inheritance has never had anything to do with me, when my father and sister died one after another, I endured a lot on the dragon throne, I was iron-blooded, I was dictatorial, I had to kill my brother-in-law, whenever I think back to these things, I can only hide my sadness in the depths." I still don't know how to explain it to my father's heroic spirit. β
"............" Aaron poured wine for Alicesell, and he felt that the princess had not finished speaking, but only gave a soft "um".
"If I could, I would also like to be like a princess, sipping Darjeeling black tea, eating scones and macarons in the afternoon sun, and I would also like to spend my life in peace." Alice Searle slowly got up from her seat, her big red rose heels stepping on the carpet: "But I am the daughter of Obiszir, since I am the daughter of the king, I have the responsibility to make the people happy and the country safe, and I want to protect the smiles on everyone's faces during my father's reign." β
"Rights and duties are always reciprocal, Alice." Aaron followed behind the princess, and he whispered, "We are all like satellites, around you like the sun." β
"It's an extremely difficult thing to sit in a dragon seat." Alice's long brilliant blonde hair hung down from the back of her head like a waterfall, and she put her hands behind her back and sighed: "Since I sat on the dragon throne, I have coerced, coerced, intimidated, manipulated power tricks, sometimes derogated others, sometimes used others, I no longer gallop on the bloodstained battlefield, but rhetoric reversed black and white out of nothing, because I know that if I am not ruthless, I will not be able to sit on the throne of the dragon." β
"But!" Alice Searle turned around, the dragon's might was fully displayed in her scarlet eyes, she grabbed Aaron's sleeve and pulled him in front of her: "There are nobles everywhere peeping at the dragon throne, and the confrontation between the gods and the gods often turns the mortal world into a sea of fire, sitting on the dragon seat is not a pleasure, but a punishment, like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss!" β
"Aaron, you like to use the power of the gods, but you must remember that in order to prevent fire, careful use of fire is the key, and those who stand on the human side must have an evil dragon in their hearts, the dragon guards, the dragon destroys, the dragon is greedy, and the dragon is overflowing."
"A dragon slayer is a dragon." Aaron shook Alice's hand: "Pioneers will eventually become corrupt and degenerate. β
"Hmm." Alice Searle caressed Aaron's face, the princess looked at Aaron, and then smiled: "If you think about it carefully, you are also quite pitiful, inexplicably became the last Salian, your childhood was spent in Manuel's beating and scolding, and you were sent on a mission without killing anyone, when you were attacked by a sorcerer and injured and unconscious, did you ever resent fate and resentment your father?" If he had not been born as a son of Manuel, he would not have had to suffer this kind of suffering. β
Alice Serre seemed to be talking about Aaron, and as if she was talking about herself, tears gradually filled the eyes of the regent.
We're all the same.
Aaron also recalls his childhood, Manuel has always been a villain because he can't play a loving father, so he would rather make Aaron hate him and want to stimulate Aaron's potential, otherwise Salian really ends there.
He didn't wait, and even said that if it weren't for his death, Aaron's awakening didn't know when.
"Never!" Aaron whispered, he squeezed Alice's hand hard: "It is a great honor to be born as the last Salian and to be the champion knight of His Highness, Aaron!" β
Alice Serre nodded slightly, and the eyes of the princess regent's eyes moistened: "Me too, it's my luck to have you, father, all this in Cormier today is like a dream." β
Aaron and Alice Searle looked at each other and smiled, tears in their eyes.
"Your Highness, do you know? In fact, my liking for you has always been limited to the physical level. β
"Aaron?"
"I must admit that for a long time my affection for you was confined to the flesh." Aaron, who was sad, took the initiative to speak, not caring what Alice Searle thought on the other side: "I hate the sanctions imposed on me by the royal family of Obiszir, I hate that you always think very highly of yourself, sitting on the dragon throne and looking down on me, as you said, I never think that I have original sin, what does it matter to me about grandfather and uncle?" Why should I pay for it? β
"When you recruited me into the palace, I knew that you just took a fancy to my Chaos Warlock talent, I knelt down in front of the dragon throne, talked to you, peeked at the stockings under your skirt, I was very uncomfortable, because I knew that I was a grasshopper that you could arrange with a word." Aaron pulled Alice Searle to sit down, and he ignored Alice Searle's increasingly dangerous face: "So, I want to marry you, I used to swear like this." β
The regent's face grew red, mixed with anger and confusion.
"I don't want to get rich, I don't want to give birth to an heir with the blood of Obeszir, so I need you again, and I guard against you." Aaron said softly, "However, the situation has changed now. β
"The strength I have has surpassed Cormier's strength, sixty percent of Cormier's foreign trade is controlled by me, under my control, even the Purple Dragon Knights and the Duke of Ireland can't refuse my conditions, and you trust me even more, trust a careerist who took away his virgin body, the personal choice of the evil four gods, I am really grateful to you, grateful for your trust in me, in fact, you who have been branded with the Chaos Stigma by me, as long as you want to attack me, I can counteract at any time."
"What a bastard! Aaron! Alice Serre gritted her teeth and covered her lower abdomen, and the regent gave Aaron a direct slap: "I know if you want to marry Eleanor or Charlotte, but you have no plans to marry me!" β
Syllable!
Aaron, who had a slap mark on his face, hugged Alice Searle on his body, hugged the waist of the female dragon and looked at the fireworks outside the window, listening to the sound of Egil and the others fighting, and his eyes gradually moistened: "Don't worry, I don't care about these things anymore." β
"This time, I generously donated a large amount of the harvest of Wojin to the kingdom, it is precisely to thank you for your trust in me, the so-called steel regent is just a woman who has been deceived and died of her body." Aaron shook his head: "Alice, although it is too late, please forgive me for treating you like this all the time." β
"You were deceived by me, you are completely innocent!"
"It was I, Aaron Salion, who made the mistake of being in a distorted and dark state of mind at that time, blessed by the power of youth and vigor."
"I must give you a great heir, I will definitely have a great wedding for us, I will share everything I have with you to repay my trust in you, I know, you have been refusing to ascend the throne of the queen because of me, you are waiting for me, right?"
"I like you, Alice!" After speaking, Aaron bent down and bowed to apologize to the princess, and he choked up a little: "Can you accept my confession?" I really like you! β
"Aaron, you this! You scum, bastard, scum! Alice Serre couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and the regent grabbed Aaron's neckline stiffly: "You actually know! You really get the idea! Doesn't that show your meanness even more? I've been waiting, I've been waiting! I'm in my thirties, I'm in my thirties! β
The Iron King's tears finally fell.
It was a belated confession.
It's finally here.
