"Alice, you go and sit down first, grandfather has to salute His Majesty!"

The Lord of the North patted Alice on the shoulder and motioned for Alice to return to her seat first.

When Alice returned to her seat, the Lord of the North looked around the hall, then took two steps forward, bowed slightly to the King, and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you, my Majesty the King!" ”

"Gust, don't be polite, I'm going to take the Duchy of Alban in one fell swoop on this southern expedition, so I have to let you come all the way."

Lawrence did not put on the majesty of His Majesty, but had a smile on his face, and showed that he was very close.

The biggest reason why King Lawrence has such an attitude is that Gust is one of the three golden peak knights of the Duchy of Jean.

For the king, such a character can no longer be treated simply as a vassal.

"It is the duty of our vassals to serve you, and His Majesty needs no thanks."

Gust's words were full of spirit and meticulousness, not at all like the momentum shown by an old man, but more like a mighty general commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield.

"However, Your Majesty, there is one thing that I want to take this opportunity to mention, and I hope you will make the decision for me!"

"Gust, you just say it, if I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you!"

King Lawrence paused for a moment, but he was not slow to let the lord of the north bring it up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Lord of the North bowed again before continuing.

"Alder suddenly disappeared, during this time, I heard a lot of news, all of them are the principality's major families conspiring to annex the Jones family, as Alice's maternal grandfather, I hope His Majesty the King can make the decision for me!"

As he spoke, the Lord of the North looked at the five counts sitting around him.

When these counts were swept by the Lord of the North, they all avoided the gaze of the Lord of the North in embarrassment, but the anger in Nemeo's heart was still burning at the moment, so he didn't care about the glance of the Lord of the North.

"Gust, I also heard about this some time ago, and I have already issued an order that no family is allowed to encroach on the territory and buffer zone of the Jones family again, otherwise I will not spare it."

When King Lawrence heard the words of the Lord of the North, he swore that he had taken steps to protect the Jones family.

At the same time, the king was not embarrassed at all, as if he had never planned to seek the wealth of the Jones family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting the Jones family!"

The Lord of the North didn't say anything more, and respectfully thanked the king, and then looked back at Nemeo.

"Your Majesty, Alice now inherits the title of earl of the Jones family, and the boy named Gervais is his husband, I would like to know, Count Nemio has just tried to kill the husband of an earl without any evidence, is this in accordance with the laws of the principality?"

"Gust, don't think that you can be unscrupulous if your realm is higher than me, you won't live for a few years, I see how long you can keep the Jones family!"

Before the king could reply, Nemio spoke coldly!

Although Nemio was afraid of the personal strength of the Lord of the North, he was not completely afraid of the Lord of the North.

If the Lord of the North had been a few decades younger, he would definitely have been this shrunken turtle.

But now that the Lord of the North is old and has few years to live, Nemio still has some confidence.

After all, the Winston family has not yet appeared a golden knight, and after the death of the lord of the north, if the Winston family loses the protection of the golden knight, the situation may be even more embarrassing by the Jones family.

"Nemio, are you threatening me? Believe it or not, I could kill you before I die! Let the Charles family go to the protection of the Golden Knight first! ”

Before Nemeo's words fell, a strong murderous aura immediately erupted from the Lord of the North, and this killing intent spread throughout the hall, and the power was many times stronger than what Nemio had exuded just now.

Feeling this killing intent, Avery's faces and the counts all froze, feeling a huge threat.

And Nemeo, the first count, was even more pale, trembling all over, and for a moment he could no longer speak.

"Gust! Put away your old problems! ”

At this moment, the king finally spoke again, his face became serious, and his tone was more and more half-commanding.

"Yes! Your Majesty! It's me who was rude! ”

The lord of the north will accept it when he sees it, and here he can only deter the counts of Nemio, but if he wants to kill any of them, the king will definitely not agree.

"Nemio, I'll send someone to investigate today's matter! Will definitely give you a result! If I find out who is the murderer, I will definitely not be partial, and I will definitely call the shots for Ulek! ”

King Lawrence saw that the Lord of the North was making such a fuss, and the counts in the hall were immediately relieved, so he took the opportunity to say to Nemeo.

Without waiting for Nemio to have any chance to speak, King Lawrence continued.

"The morning after tomorrow is the start of this year's southern expedition, so I don't want anything to happen during this time! As long as you help me take the Duchy of Alban, I will never be stingy with rewards! ”

"However, if anyone dares to do anything to sabotage this southern expedition, then I will definitely not spare it, do you understand?"

When he said this last sentence, King Lawrence's tone suddenly turned cold, and it was obvious that this sentence was not intended to scare people.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone replied in unison, and even if it was Nemio, he could only obediently bow down and receive the order, and did not dare to say anything more.

"Very well, then you all go back to camp first! Come back to the palace tomorrow and we'll discuss this year's attack! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The counts took the order, bowed, and walked towards the door of the hall.

The fastest one was the iron-faced Nemeo, who glanced at Gervais for a moment with a cold gaze before leaving, and then quickly walked out of the hall door without saying a word.

"Count Alice, here are 100 gold coins, which is Count Avery's compensation for Wright's attack on Jones Territory, you can take it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Alice took the money bag from the squire, answered the king, and then left the hall with Gervais behind the Lord of the North.

As the seven counts left the hall, there were only a few attendants and the Grand Prince in the hall at this time.

When the eldest prince was sure that all the earls were far away, he asked Lawrence carefully.

"Father, did you just let that Gervais go? Will it cause dissatisfaction among the Charles family? ”

Bang!

Without warning, King Lawrence slammed his palm on the table, startling the eldest prince.

"You idiot, you got me in so much trouble for a unicorn!"

"Father, that little viscount of Gervais doesn't deserve a one-horned ......"

"Get down! You are not allowed to go out for these two days! ”

King Lawrence directly interrupted the Grand Prince's defense and imposed a ban on him.

"Yes! Father! ”

The eldest prince did not dare to disobey in the slightest, and immediately closed his mouth and walked out of the hall with his head down.

……

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is not to blame the eldest prince, that Gervais has a unicorn that will indeed affect your majesty."

When the eldest prince was also dismissed, an old man beside the king, who was nearly sixty years old, spoke to Lawrence.

This man was King Lawrence's head of the house.

When Lawrence was not yet king, the old man was his butler, and if Lawrence trusted the most who was, it had to be the gray-haired housekeeper.

"This idiot, you have to get me in trouble at this time, since the last incident at Fort Rose, I have ordered an intensification of intelligence gathering on the Duchy of Alban and the Duchy of Xis."

King Lawrence, who was now in a calm mood, opened some of the letters in front of the table, and said as he looked at them.

"Judging from the intelligence collected during this time, the church has made frequent moves, it must be planning something, if we don't take the Duchy of Alban as soon as possible and get enough food for development, it is likely that we will not be able to fight against the church in a few years!"

"Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to your body, the church has existed for so many years, you don't need to be too anxious!"

"You go to the beast cage later, pick a middle-level demonic beast and send it to Nemio, let him be patient for the time being, after the southern expedition is completed, I will compensate him!"

King Lawrence did not continue to talk about the church, but turned to the gray-haired head of the house.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The head of the housekeeping, who knew King Lawrence best, saw that he was not going to continue, and when he saw him change the subject, he answered, and then withdrew.
