Chapter 51: Giving Back

Tails never imagined that a king would get such an interesting response when he appeared in front of his vassals.

At that moment, all eyes were on the king.

In the solemn atmosphere of the audience, Charman Rumba walked unhurriedly with his hands behind his back expression.

But it seems to invisibly exude the solemn pressure of a sole king.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was deliberately looking at the floor tiles of Valhalla, as if there was some noteworthy texture on them.

Behind the king, Viscount Kambida and Chloehi parted sides with indifferent expressions.

Not everyone recognized King Chaman, so apart from Tails, there were only two expressions left in the hall:

A dignified face, and confused.

There are also people who have both: such as Lisbane and Nazaire, such as the Grand Duchess.

"Exeters. ”

Viscount Cambida stepped forward solemnly, and in a high-pitched voice and in a short, forceful and thick tone peculiar to the Northlanders, he awe-inspiring to the whole hall:

"Salute your king!"

Kambida's voice echoed through the halls.

In the next second, as if a rainstorm had fallen, the nobles who were still in doubt suddenly erupted into irrepressible discussions and noises!

"What's going on?"

"The family killer is actually in Longxiao City?"

"How did he get in?"

"Was it pre-arranged?"

"No, look closely at that prince......"

There are those who doubt, those who are shocked, those who are heavy, those who are panicked, and those who gnash their teeth.

But the Grand Duchess and the six Counts fell into an eerie silence:

Thelma's face was pale, and Lisbane closed her eyes.

Nazaire couldn't hide his strange color and looked at the king with a frown, and then frowned at the indifferent Tails.

Kierkegaard's eyes burned and his breathing quickened, and Hearst seemed to see King Chaman for the first time, his solemn and scrutinizing gaze firmly locked on him.

Earl Linna and Earl Curterson were so shocked that they didn't even have time to exchange glances.

Ian, from the city of Qiyuan, was dumbfounded, blinking desperately, looking at the King Gongju in the center of the hall in disbelief, casting a puzzled look at Tails.

That's what my father said...... The ambitious and terrifying Grand Duke of Black Sand?

Six years ago, the perpetrator of the disaster in Longxiao City?

How so?

Tails?

Doesn't that mean......

Ian's face grew ugly.

And at the center of the storm, King Chaman was still calm and casually behaved.

His left hand rested lightly on the saber at his waist, unconcerned about the atmosphere around him.

The aristocrats were talking louder and louder.

At this moment, the king jerked his head up!

The aristocrats who were talking couldn't help but pause and held their breath.

King Chaman's gaze was filled with coldness and dead silence, and everywhere he went, those who were swept away shuddered.

It's like falling into a bottomless glacier.

After a few seconds, the king grinned, looked at the nobles in Longxiao City, and chuckled sarcastically:

"Hmph. ”

Tails took a deep breath and calmly looked at Waia and Rolf with worried faces - behind Kambida and Chloehi, two of the Prince of the Stars' attendants came to the Prince's side in a low-key manner with their heads hung down and against the wall.

In the end, it came to this.

The prince thought gloomily: the worst step.

He nodded at the two who had returned.

At this moment, Tails suddenly felt a chill in his back!

Malicious eyes shot at him.

It's a meteorite.

Nicolas was staring at Rumba as if he were staring at an unforgettable enemy, and the pain and hatred in his eyes almost turned into flames and erupted.

He looked at Tails again, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Probably the Starfall himself could hardly tell whether he hated King Chaman more or Tails at the moment.

Tails sighed softly, and he turned his head away, as if he didn't see the Meteorite's terrifying expression.

"Long Xiaocheng, are you all deaf?"

In the hall, Viscount Cambida was very dissatisfied with the performance of the nobles, and he waved his arms angrily and shouted, "In the name of the oath of co-governance......"

"His Majesty Charman Rumba, co-lord of the Northlanders of the Western Continent, the forty-sixth co-king of the Kingdom of Exeter and the Quegul Glacier—"

"Salute!"

He glared down the hall.

The scene fell silent again, the vassals frowned, and many people turned their eyes to the female archduke.

Selma took a deep breath, and she turned her head with difficulty, looking at King Chaman.

It so happened that the king also turned around, and his eyes were sharp at Selma.

The girl's face turned pale, and memories of the past came to mind.

The Earl of Lisbane looked at the Grand Duchess with a solemn face, then at King Chaman, and then sighed and nodded.

"He is the king, and this is the obligation of the oath of condominity. The regent whispered to the girl.

Given Lisbane's cue, Selma swallowed hard in her throat, took a few deep breaths before lifting her skirt, leaving her seat and slowly descending the steps.

Walk towards the supreme ruler of Exeter.

"Your Majesty Chaman," she came to King Chaman's side, pressed her heart, bowed slightly, and bowed her head respectfully, "Welcome to Longxiao City." ”

"Your arrival came as a surprise to me. ”

With the movements of the Grand Duchess, countless sighs rang out in the hall.

King Chaman looked at Selma condescendingly, at the insignia of the dragon lance in the clouds on her clothes, and a subtle hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"yes, I didn't expect that either. ”

"But life is always full of surprises," he snorted softly, as if meaningfully.

"The ruler of Longxiao City. ”

The king turned his gaze and looked around.

In the next second, the hall was filled with a stumble - all the Exeters, whether they were noble vassals or soldier servants, whether they were high-ranking earls or Viscount Ian of Qiyuan City, they were all worried or not angry, but they all got up.

Get down on one knee.

Salute King Exeter in the center of the hall.

Tails watched all this in silence, as if going back to the day of King Chaman's coronation six years ago.

Seeing the actions of the courtiers, Kambida and Chlo Aihi glanced at each other, then nodded in satisfaction and knelt down together.

But Kambida then frowned: not everyone fell to their knees.

"Dumb, stand back," Wyay pulled Rolf back and whispered discontentedly, "It's just us standing, it's a little too high-profile......"

Rolf shrugged, pointed to one of the people in the field, frowned and made a gesture: "It's not just us. 】

Without waiting for Waiya's reaction, Viscount Kambida's unpleasant voice sounded again:

"Earl Courtson. ”

"You're still standing, not saluting?"

The eyes of the audience turned in unison: one of the six highest counts of Longxiao City, Count Solon Curtson, Count of Philenburg, stood in place with a look of dismay, quite abrupt compared to the vassals who were kneeling on one knee around him.

"I still remember when we were younger, when we were stupid together in Longxiao City—you were both respectful and afraid of Your Majesty Nunn. ”

Count Curtson said coldly, "Now, you have come back to Longxiao City to be majestic, Charman?"

King Chaman's eyebrows moved slightly, and he hummed a note from his nose.

It seems to think it's funny.

"Listen, Charman, we are the vassals of the Grand Duke of Longxiao City," Curtson said in a rough voice under the king's gaze without showing weakness, "It's just her vassal, only salute her." ”

Thelma looked at Curtson, who had been at odds with her before, in amazement.

It was as if for the first time I had met this mean-speaking earl.

The entire hall was silently watching the confrontation between Curtson and King Chaman.

But the king ignored him and just looked away.

It seems to be indifferent.

"In this hall, only the Prince of the Stars doesn't have to salute the King, Earl Kirtson," Kambida said lightly.

Tails sighed: This Viscount of Cambida is probably still resentful of the embarrassment of the last meeting.

I saw a malicious glint in the eyes of this Viscount of Mounton City:

"What, are you also from the stars?"

As soon as these words came out, Earl Curtson's face suddenly turned pale.

Many frowned.

"Kneel and show your loyalty to the king. Kambida said coldly.

Earl Curtson took a deep breath, and he looked at the king with disdain, and then at Cambida, and was about to open his mouth to retort.

But his shoulders were clasped.

Kirterson looked back in surprise: Count Lynne clasped his shoulders and looked ugly.

"Get on your knees, he's a king after all. ”

"Etiquette is secondary, but if you don't want to gain the reputation of a 'disloyalist' for breaking the oath of co-governance the next day, you don't want to become a ...... between Longxiao City and the king."

Count Linna's tone carried a hint of warning: "Get down on your knees and don't get into trouble. ”

Kirtson looked up at the king in dismay, he thought of something, and his face struggled.

King Chaman still looked back at him with a sinking face.

After a few seconds, Curtson gritted his teeth, finally closed his eyes and got down on one knee.

His hand holding his knee trembled slightly, as if it were a great humiliation.

A sneer belonging to the king rang out in the hall.

"If you don't want to kneel," said King Chaman, his expression came alive as if he had suddenly come to life from the portrait:

"Then don't kneel. ”

"A true Northlander doesn't look like he's different," he glanced at Curtson contemptuously, "What do you say, Curtson, my old acquaintance?"

Count Curtson, who had already knelt down, suddenly looked extremely ugly.

"Get up and take your seats, everyone, especially you, little girl," King Chaman glanced at Selma indifferently, causing the latter to grit his teeth and look around again:

"Don't let me ruin the atmosphere. ”

The vassals in the hall slowly got up, followed by the sound of many people's fists.

Under the Grand Duke's seat, Count Nazaire whispered in a heavy tone, "When did he arrive in Longxiao City?

Across from him, Lisbane sighed.

"Is it important at this time?"

Nazaire glanced at the unoccupied king and snorted, "I thought you would stop him, both outside the city and outside the palace—instead of letting him go as if he were no one, my Lord Regent." ”

"I'd like to," the Regent of Lisbane replied unceremoniously, "maybe add some after-entertainment of 'Killing the Palace Assassin in Longxiao City'." ”

But Lisban's eyes tightened:

"If it weren't for the news of King Gongju's arrival at Valhalla at the same time as his arrival, it would have spread throughout Longxiao City. ”

Nazaire's gaze froze: "Spread all over Longxiao City?"

"Everyone knows he's with us," Lisban nodded cautiously and solemnly, "In another morning, I guess the whole of Exeter will know." ”

Nazaire frowned, and withdrew his gaze from the king's head.

"So, it's impossible for us to take advantage of the opportunity to do something to him?"

Lisbane nodded.

"They came prepared, so they had no fear," said the former prime minister, with a stiff expression.

"We can only fight head-on. ”

Nazaire snorted lightly and set his eyes on the special boy: "It seems that we, the entire Longxiao City, have been ...... by that little prince"

"It's a hard trick. ”

Lisbane did not speak.

But he, like his old colleagues, locked his eyes on Tails.

Tails, on the other hand, just stood silently, motionless.

It seems that he does not care about King Chaman, who is not far away.

On his side, Ian from Qiyuan City looked at Tails with a hesitant expression, and then at King Chaman who came suddenly, and shook his head subconsciously.

In the hall, Thelma, who had returned to her seat, took a deep breath and glanced worriedly at Tails, who was as expressionless as the king.

She said worriedly, "May I ask you what you're here for, Your Majesty?"

"After all, this is Longxiao City's political day...... If you don't mind, we can ...... later"

But the king interrupted her.

"Of course," said King Chaman, without any procrastination, strode forward, and began to look at the six counts with different expressions, and at the same time went straight to the point:

"I'm here to help. ”

The king's majestic voice echoed through the hall.

The vassals frowned.

"Help?" Thelma repeated confusedly.

"Yes," said King Chaman, turning to Kambida's whisper, and sighed, "but before that......"

Following the king's gaze, the suspicious eyes of the vassals rolled together.

In the end, it accurately fell on the heir of Qiyuan City on the side.

"Ah, the people of Qiyuan City?" King Chaman spoke, word by word, looking at Ian like a beast that had been hidden for a long time:

"What a surprise. ”

Ian was taken aback, stiffened, and an inexplicable fear rose in his heart.

He never imagined that in his trip to Longxiao City, he would have to face the most cardable opponent he expected so early, so quickly, and so embarrassedly.

Facing the king's oppressive gaze, Ian subconsciously said:

"Your Majesty, the first time we met, contemptible ......"

"I've heard of you, Ronnie's son," the king waved his hand, not letting him continue, "Come and propose to the Grand Duke of Longxiao City?"

Ian was speechless: he thought about the other party's possible opening, greetings, attacks, condemnation, temptation......

But......

Is this actually it?

"That's a bad idea," King Chaman snorted coldly:

"You're not worthy, and it's almost as good as letting your father propose on his own—doesn't he like to do that kind of thing the most? ”

Ian's face turned pale.

Behind the King, Chloehi chuckled as if he had noticed something.

Viscount Cambida smiled beside her.

"Your Majesty is angry for you," Cambida whispered to the warriorwoman with a wicked smile, "Truth be told, when Ronnie proposed to you in Valhalla six years ago......"

Before he could finish speaking, Chloehi unceremoniously replied to him with two words:

"Shut up. ”

Kambida shrugged to himself and stopped talking.

It took two seconds for Ian, who had lost his temper, to adjust himself.

He pretended to be calm and responded in his usual relaxed tone, "It's not appropriate to say that, after all, I am also the Ronnie family, and I am the heir of Qiyuan City." ”

Ian deliberately bit the word and said, "Before you inherited the throne of the Grand Duke, weren't you also on the same level as me?"

The vassals of Longxiao City frowned.

"Is that heir, the heir, on my footing?"

Listening to the prickly words in Ian's words, King Chaman snorted lightly and said casually:

"Then why didn't you kill your sister?"

At that moment, the audience was silent.

This time, Ian choked on the knot.

Tails looked at Ian and sighed.

yes, he knows how it feels.

Everyone who fights Charman Rumba will experience the pressure: the suffocation of the cold gaze and the cold rhetoric.

And......

Rumba's offense has never been immovable......

The king's voice sounded again.

"If your sister hadn't died......" saw the king begin to pace slowly, and said lightly:

"Then you're a heir. ”

For a second, Tails could hear a hammer smash into Ian's heart as King Chaman's words followed.

On the other hand, there seemed to be a cold ice cracking in Ian's heart.

His Excellency the Viscount of Windy City did not speak for a long time.

There was silence in the hall, all silently listening to the King's words—Ian's previous methods had made him so many enemies in Longxiao City that no one wanted to help.

No.

There are still.

"Your Majesty," Thelma said indignantly, "perhaps you should get back to business. ”

King Chaman raised his eyebrows: "Oh, of course ......"

"For example, Qiyuan City, which rules the western part of Exeter, has sent a viscount who doesn't even have the right of first refusal to ask for a marriage from Longxiao City?"

These words made many people grimacing.

"Ian," Monty whispered to a distracted Ian, "do something." ”

Ian shuddered at the remind.

He suddenly realized that King Chaman was coming to Qiyuan City.

He couldn't back down.

The young heir of Qiyuan City reluctantly smiled and said, "You misunderstood, in Qiyuan City, according to the tradition of the Northlanders, my sister has no inheritance rights......"

Hearing this, Tails sighed and closed his eyes.

He saw it clearly.

Charman Rumba and Ian Ronnie.

It's like the battle between the Prince of the Stars and the Meteorite.

Whether it's a contest of swordsmanship or a clash of words......

Both sides are fundamentally ......

It's not a level.

The King snorted coldly as he threw a warning look at Thelma, who had just interrupted him.

"No inheritance?"

"How. ”

"Are you hinting," King Chaman spoke in a slow and ordinary tone, but the words he said made the faces of every vassal of Longxiao City change greatly: "The Grand Dukes of Longxiao City, who is also a woman, recognized by the Grand Dukes including your father and me, Thelma Walton......"

"And no inheritance?"

Selma, who sat on the throne of the Grand Duke, breathed faster and looked at King Chaman in a daze.

Ian froze again.

In the face of the king's gaze and words, he opened his mouth and his jaw kept shaking, but he could not say a word for half a day.

Ian, who usually shows people in an informal manner, was speechless at this moment.

There was no time to rest, and the king quickly spoke again, breaking the uncomfortable silence in the field.

"Hmph, don't take it seriously, just kidding. ”

"Even if your father comes to propose......" King Chaman squinted coldly at him Ian, "Thankfully, you're not stupid enough to be that - if you two do become in-laws, then I'm not here to help." ”

"It's for the future of Exeter......"

The king glanced around at the people in the hall, and there was a deep chill in his tone:

"It's time to declare war. ”

The atmosphere in the hall was congrozen.

The vassals raised their warnings one after another.

And Ian, who is usually sharp-toothed, is speechless at the moment as if his tongue has been cut off.

Ian reluctantly turned to Tails.

Damn it.

Damn it!

Tails.

You and your father ...... them

Six years ago, you were in a desperate situation in Longxiao City.

How exactly do you play against an opponent like Charman Rumba......

Still not left behind?

Lisban and Nazaire looked at each other tacitly, seeing the uneasiness and nervousness in each other's eyes.

Qiyuan City can no longer be counted on.

It's not good.

"That's right. ”

King Chaman raised his head again, looked at the decoration of the hall, but did not relax at all to Ian's questioning: "I heard that Grand Duke Ronnie has been getting close to some of my restless vassals recently?"

The vassals in the hall changed their faces.

"It's not that you're very close," Ian took a deep breath, severing away the discomfort and gaffes caused by the king's pressure, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "It's that under the oath of co-governance, we pay attention to every nobleman of the kingdom, especially to ensure that their natural orthodox rights are not violated. ”

"I beg your pardon. ”

Tails closed his eyes gently.

No.

It's really not "very close".

It's that Qiyuan City is the "black hand" behind the scenes.

The reason why Qiyuan City wanted to win over Longxiao City and fight together quickly and defeat the Freedom Alliance without delay......

It is precisely because of the need to avoid getting bogged down.

to ensure their influence over the vassals of the Black Sands......

Thus supporting them in maintaining their autonomy and rebelling against King Chaman's actions.

The king's gaze was focused on the soul lance behind the archduchess, as if he was distracting himself from the past, and snorted softly in response, intentionally or unintentionally.

But Tails knew that King Chaman was by no means distracted.

"Yes. ”

Charman I seemed to have just come to his senses, and said lightly: "Yes, I almost forgot, your father, Kulikun is such a generous and upright person." ”

Ian frowned.

He sensed something was wrong.

King Chaman sighed: "So, when I heard that Qiyuan City was in trouble, I left my own troubles behind and came all the way to help. ”

The vassals of Longxiao City raised their hearts: the war in Qiyuan City is related to the aid of Longxiao City.

It's more about the power of the Grand Dukes and the king.

"Pray that everything is okay in Far City," Ian said cautiously, raising the vigilance of his whole body.

"You don't have to...... You don't have to worry. ”

Ian stared at King Chaman.

Previously, Ian's imagination of the Grand Duke of Rumba and even King Chaman......

His predictions and established impressions of him have long been shattered in the side and few words that we have seen today.

This king is a terrible opponent.

But Ian still underestimated the six-year-old king.

"Really, don't worry?"

King Chaman's tone lifted slightly, and he turned to the man he had never paid attention to since his arrival.

"What do you say—"

It was also the one who was temporarily ignored because of the arrival of the king.

"Prince Tails?"

Everyone in the hall was shocked!

What the?

That is to say......

Lisbane and Nazaire's gaze was fixed on the prince's body, and it was especially sharp.

In front of the gaze of many, Tails took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

It's his turn.

Now that we've come this far......

His eyes swept over the retainers of Longxiao City, and finally stopped at Selma at the top.

Thelma stared at him in disbelief, as if her eyes were questioning him, "What's going on?"

Tails smiled.

Mark my words, Thelma.

Come what may......

You have to choose the path that is most suitable for the female archduke.

In the next second, Tails turned around smoothly and decisively, facing the strange eyes in the hall, facing King Chaman, who seemed to be light and breezy, and said softly:

The Kingdom of Stars thinks. ”

"Exter represented by Qiyuan City. ”

"There should be no rough interference...... The internal affairs of the Liberal League. ”

"So, we sent an army to take a closer look at the relationship between the Freedom Alliance and Qiyuan City," Tails shared information with the newcomer King Chaman in the shortest and most appropriate language, "and whether it is Qiyuan City or Longxiao City, everyone present seems to be ...... about this situation."

"I'm not very satisfied. ”

Tails finished speaking, pursing his lips tightly.

However, this sentence is like a powerful blow, knocking out the echo of surprise in the heart of every insider.

Thelma stared blankly at Tails, the confusion in her eyes deepening.

What's going on?

Tails, why should he stand against us and claim that his kingdom is in ...... Against us?

His situation is clearly ......

Faced with Thelma's doubts, Tails' face sank and he didn't respond.

Ian from Qiyuan City opened his mouth in surprise, but he could only say halfway: "Tails, you, what are you kidding!"

Didn't you say...... Say you don't know?

But now you ......

In the face of Ian's questioning, Tails looked calm, as if he hadn't heard it.

On the other side, Nikolai, the Meteorite, looked at Tails with a darker and darker look.

Even with hatred.

Little Prince, you and him...... Is it a gang?

Facing the angry eyes of the meteorite, Tails' eyes froze, and he didn't move.

The Regent of Lisbane looked at Tails in dismay, and he frowned fiercely, remembering the prince's previous deeds.

Could it be that this prince is ...... with King Chaman?

Tails' words also rekindled the anger of the vassals of Longxiao City, and a tidal wave of condemnation followed, drowning him down.

"Hey," Count Curtson of Longxiao City gritted his teeth fiercely, "You little bastard—"

But he was interrupted—the Count of Nazaire held him down with a solemn expression and shook his head.

"Your Highness, this is your plan?"

Seeing this kind of battle, Huaiya, who had come to observe the political meeting for the first time, immediately said nervously in the prince's ear: "It seems that ...... It's not good. ”

Rolf glanced contemptuously at the attendant.

Isn't that good?

Didn't you see when the people of the Northlands were talking about how to divide the prince's body......

In the face of these people's eyes and discussions, Tails just ignored them, as if none of them had anything to do with him.

He just waited quietly for King Chaman's response.

King Chaman frowned slightly, and paused for several seconds.

It seems to be digesting the news.

After a few seconds, he furrowed his brow again, and a deep voice rang out in the hall, blocking the rebuke of the vassals.

"Look!"

The king turned around and faced the entire Hall of Heroes: "This is what I am talking about, the trouble of Qiyuan City. ”

Under the pressure of the king, the hall suddenly fell silent.

King Chaman sighed, as if in pity.

"If Xingchen really intervenes, it won't be so easy for Qiyuan City to solve the Freedom Alliance. ”

He muttered, "That's a problem. ”

Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, King Chaman curled the corners of his mouth and showed a rare smile.

"Prince Tyres," he said in a majestic voice.

"You might as well ...... Come and visit Black Sand. ”

The vassals and envoys were stunned!

Tails frowned fiercely.

Not to him.

Thelma was the first to react, only to hear her lose her voice: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Lisbane and Nazaire and others have changed color.

Facing the countless stunned or confused gazes, King Chaman smiled coldly.

"I said, for the sake of praying for the interests of Yuancheng in the Freedom Alliance," he glanced at Ian, who had not yet reacted, and crooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully, "I will reluctantly come forward to entertain Prince Tyres, and by the way, negotiate with King Kessel." ”

"After all, I'm closest to the stars. ”

Ian froze.

"Prince, to the Black Sand Collar?" he muttered.

But soon, Ian, who had figured out the joint, was shocked!

"No," he stood up in a panic, his face pale:

"No! Prince Tails can't go to Black Sands......"

"You're welcome, Lord Ian," Viscount Kambida smirked behind the King, "after all, as Your Majesty said, we're here to help." ”

King Chaman had a strange expression, like a cat that had caught a mouse.

"yes. ”

"Since Curikun Ronnie is so enthusiastic, far away from the border, he doesn't forget to care for our vassals of the Black Sand Territory," Charman Rumba stared at the gaffe Ian, his eyes revealing a terrifying cold light, and from between his teeth, word by word:

"Then of course we have to reciprocate. ”

This point update, and there is no one left.

This chapter is a bit of a lot......

And: There is an extra silver alliance in this book?

(waving a handkerchief) thanks to the local tyrant for the "gray night sky"!

(End of chapter)
