Chapter 513: Departure
The governor of the palace took a great risk to write this letter, and much of the contents were top secret. He said that Evan was furious that the Orthodox Society had done so, not only because they had tried to rebel, but because they had done so. A squad raided the manor where Aaron lived and had already rushed to less than twenty meters from Aaron's room. Blocked by loyal guards, they were defeated.
Disturbed, Aaron died the next day. His body was too weak to support his next breath and heartbeat. Under the care of the priest of the Temple of Dawn, Aaron walked peacefully and without pain. But this matter was maliciously smeared, and it was rumored that Evan was secretly killing him in order to consolidate the throne.
At the same time, three aristocratic women who were related to Aaron were also taken captive, taking their newborn child with them. The intention of this is obvious, which is to use Aaron's bloodline inheritance as a reason to continue to shake the rule of His Majesty Evan.
"His Majesty's evidence is very conclusive, but he still does not believe that Sir Bill will be involved. I now agree with His Majesty the King that this is a frame-up. But the other side is clever in his methods, and there is no guarantee that there will be more sensational evidence in the future. In his letter, the Governor Salk said, "Your Excellency Marquis Siegel, for the sake of the peace of the kingdom, please be sure to take Viscount Bill. As long as he is in your custody and does not appear again, then it will not cause more serious problems. ”
There was not a single sentence in the entire letter that "in order to clear the grievances of Viscount Bill", which indicates that the situation is very urgent. Sir Bill was at best managing a county in the Kingdom of Stars through his wife's connections. Even if he did raise the anti-flag, it would not actually make any difference. In the whole thing. The ultimate goal of framing Sir Bill is nothing more than to influence the relationship between Siegel and Evan. It is only in this respect that he can play a more significant role than the county.
"Sir Bill must be found. Demand immediate action. Siegel said to his wife, "Who is the best tracker and the best protector in our territory?"
Janet shook her head: "There are indeed talents in this area in the territory, and they can be loyal and very trustworthy. But ......" she was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't want to admit it, but only you can solve the problem." ”
Siegel was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course I want to go in person, but I'm not very proficient in tracking and investigating, and my goal is so big. Won't it startle the snake?"
"You're going to the Star King to meet Evan directly and strengthen the relationship between the two of you. Janet said, "Only if you are as close as ever, and only if the trust between you remains unbreakable, will Sir Bill be safe, and will be able to find and protect him." ”
"You mean ......"
Jenny nodded and gave Siegel an analysis: "The death of His Majesty the former King Aaron will be used, and his children - not to mention his own - will also be used. I think Sir Bill heard something about it, so he asked his wife to divorce and go out of the house on his own. He is very dangerous now. Because only if he's dead can you really make your relationship with Evan worse. Even if careerists don't say it. Don't you wonder if it's the king's hand?"
"How could it be Evan?" Siegel shook his head.
"Not Evan, it's His Majesty the King. Janet said to Siegel, "You see, although Evan said that he did not believe that Viscount Bill was involved, he did not issue a pardon or announce that he was sheltering him, so Sir Bill is still a rebel who has absconded. That's why Salk, the steward, is anxious and wants you to take Bill away before someone kills him and frames His Majesty Evan. Salk was loyal, but only to the king. What you have to do is to quickly eliminate the real cause that threatens Sir Bill's life, so you must go to the Star King in person, and you can't even use that projection method. ”
Of all the lords of the royal titles, Siegel was the only one who did not make it to the enthronement ceremony. Some ministers objected, and Evan refuted it with the reason that "he has already witnessed the transfer of royal power on the unsinkable stone boat, and there is no need to look at it again", but this is always a stain that cannot be avoided. In the eyes of the lords of the kingdom, Siegel was far away in the New World, still the king's "brother-in-law", holding a vast territory and huge power, and had faintly escaped the control of the kingdom. The current generation is fine, Evan and Siegel have a close personal relationship, but what about the next generation, and the next generation? The long-term stability of the Star Kingdom requires good rules, and swearing allegiance to the king is one of the most important ones.
There must be danger on this journey, the Eastern Continent is the territory of the Mage Association, and there are the main forces of the Elven Kingdom and the Dwarven Kingdom, and Siegel has few friends over there. As far as Evan is concerned, Siegel can trust him, but what Janet said also makes sense, Evan is Evan and His Majesty the King is another identity, and the two cannot be confused.
Siegel understood the meaning of her words and strengthened his confidence, so his brow furrowed, and the gloom in his eyes was swept away. "Looks like I have to go. He said categorically, and there was no doubt in his tone.
Janet really wished that Siegel would stay around, and this time the enemy used political intrigue to shake the situation, and Siegel was not good at this. He hadn't been to the Star King's Capital, but she knew it well, and knew that the Star Kingdom's power capital was nothing more than a place where honey and poison were carried with every breath. "I'll go with you," said Janet, "and I can help you there." ”
Siegel took her in his arms, stroked her back with his hand, and comforted her, saying, "No, you stay, I need you to sit in command in the rear." Heim can't mess with it, this is my foundation. It's clear that this time it's against me, and who knows if there will be a follow-up in the New World. The situation here is even more complicated, and once you leave, you can't even hold a small council. ”
To separate again, Janet really didn't want that. She wanted to see Siegel every day, and even if she couldn't, she knew that he was in the city of Myr, working in the lab, and could be found at any time. Although he can't help himself in magic, knowing that Siegel is safe and sound is more important than anything else.
But on the other hand, she also knew that it was quite dangerous to go to the Star King, and she didn't know how many conspiracies had not surfaced. "You...... You have to be careful, don't trust anyone, not even Evan. ”
"Could it be so serious?" Siegel scratched his head, a little unconvinced: "Anyway, I'm also an archmage, and I'm a royal marquis, what else can they do? Even Liel can't say that they will definitely defeat me." ”
"They're not mages, they're politicians, and they'll never try to defeat you, no one thinks. Janet said, "They will only harass you and make you feel uncomfortable, disgusted, disgusted and angry. From this, they will be able to reap their own benefits. You must not have the idea of being invincible, because you are facing His Majesty of the Kingdom of Stars, and he must be able to defeat you, on all levels. Those who tout you will be worse than those who are hostile to you, you remember that. ”
"Okay, I'll do it when I can. The main purpose was to take pictures of Evan's horses for the whole world to see, and that's something I can remember. Siegel said to Janet, "On the other hand, the search for Master Bill can't be stopped, and it's more important than anything else to keep him safe as soon as possible." ”
"No, it's not as important as you being by the king's side. Janet said, "No matter what means the enemy uses, as long as you don't act rashly, they can't win." Because in a frontal battle, you always have the upper hand. ”
"Understood, this time I will go over as a knight and act as a great nobleman. But if anyone wants to provoke, I'll use the Archmage's means to swing it, so that I can establish a frontal battlefield on all fronts. I'm going to be there with the Starrope, so you'll need to contact the Federation and ask them to take care of the Heim Collar while I'm away. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll take care of it. ”
A letter was sent out as quickly as possible, and was sent directly to His Majesty Evan. In the letter, Siegel expressed his longing for His Majesty the King and his "sister", Queen Aemun, and hoped that he would have the opportunity to visit the Star King's capital. Naturally, Siegel would not wait for a reply, he had already armed the Xingsuo and was ready to embark on a journey to visit his relatives in a menacing manner.
The knights of the Heim Realm wanted to join, and it was a great honor to be able to go to the king as a marquis's bodyguard. However, the more people there are, the more complex the relationship becomes, and the more likely it is that problems are likely to occur. Siegel thought about it, and according to Janet's opinion, only brought the half-orc Humke.
"If you have a situation that is not easy to handle, you flip the table. Janet instructed Humm: "Whether it's the Duke or the Earl on the other side, you have an absolute advantage in this matter. ”
"Uh...... It's been a long time since I started studying. Hum Ke saw that Janet's eyebrows gradually raised, so he quickly changed his words: "But please rest assured, I will definitely be the lord's guard, and no one will try to make him angry!
As the first test subject to be instilled with knowledge by Siegel, Huck was also one of the first academies to join the School of Magic. He wasn't very good at elemental sensing, but he was surprisingly gifted with prophecy spells. However, his ability is very unique, saying that the good will never be fulfilled, but the prediction of the bad will be successful nine times out of ten.
The other knights and lords were envious of Huke, after all, he was going to meet the king. There are many knights who have been promoted to the title because they behave well in front of the king, which is already the most labor-saving and safest way.
Of course, only people who don't know the inside story think so. News of the Orthodox Society has not yet spread, and no one knows Sir Bill's role in it. The only person who can connect everything apart from the people who are extremely close to Siegel is the guy who carried out this conspiracy.
Leel Siegel had this great prophet in mind, and then let the star rope set sail and fly to the Eastern Continent. (To be continued.) )
