Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 044 The Queen's Summons (1)

A few words decided Sherlock's disposition, and the two didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Soon, the two arrived at the Queen's study.

Not long after the queen took her seat, there was a knock at the door.

The butler who had been instructed had arrived at the door with Nock and Allen.

"Your Majesty, Viscount Cowater and Father Lane have been ordered to come to the audience."

Receiving instructions from the Queen, the head maid, Yulia, spoke inside: "Let Viscount Cowater meet first, and Father Lane please wait next door." ”

"Yes." The butler gently unscrewed the door of the study, opened the door a gap, and then held the doorknob with one hand and made an inviting gesture to Alan with the other.

"Viscount Cowater, please come in."

Alan smirked a playful smile at Nock next to him, and then walked into the study at the invitation of the butler.

Bang~

The door was gently closed by the butler, not giving Nock a chance to peek inside.

"Father Lane, please come with me."

Nock was no surprise that Kowash was summoned first.

Aristocrats, naturally, have priority, not to mention that they are also the commissioner of the British Police Department.

It is also deserved to be valued by the Queen.

However, Sherlock Holmes did not come with them, but was left in the hearing hall, kneeling stupidly in front of the empty throne.

The thought of this made Nock's heart flutter.

Her Majesty chose to summon Alan Corwater in his study and arrange for him to wait next door.

This suggests that after meeting Cowater, the Queen will summon Nock.

So, Nock wasn't in a hurry at all.

Instead, Sherlock Holmes, the queen made it clear that she would not go to the hall, so Sherlock must have waited in vain.

After all, he was only the son of a small baron, and he was not a foreign envoy or a fiefdom lord, so how could the queen meet him in the audience hall.

I'm afraid that the queen knows about today's farce and deliberately rectifies this kid.

"Father Lane, please come in. Please sit casually, don't be inhibited, I'll let the maid bring refreshments to the priest. If you are bored, there are a few idle books on the shelves here that the priest can look through. If you have something, you can tell the maids around you, they will meet your needs. ”

The butler briefly politely greeted Nock, and then instructed the maid in the room, "Take care of Father Lane, don't neglect the Queen's guests, understand! ”

The two maids in the room replied in unison, "Yes, Lord Butler." ”

The butler smiled with satisfaction, bowed to Nock, and retreated to the door before getting up and leaving.

Soon, a maid came in through the door, served him refreshments, poured him a cup of tea, got up and saluted, and quickly left the room.

Nock had time to look at the room.

The room was not very big, but it seemed spacious.

Under the two windows on the wall on the right hand side of the entrance door, two small round tables are placed, and next to each round table are two chairs with backrests.

Sitting on a chair, resting people can see the view of the courtyard through the window and smell the fragrance of the earth in the courtyard.

On the opposite wall of the window are two decorative bookshelves, on which are scattered some casual books or poetry books.

There is no furniture between the two walls, only a gypsy-style wool carpet on the floor.

This makes the room look empty.

On the wall facing the door, there hangs a huge bust of Queen Elizabeth when she ascended the throne.

The portrait of the queen is very young, and the heavy oil paint bears witness to her brilliance.

Under the portrait, there is a small standing cabinet, on which are placed two carefully trimmed moon seasons, making the room a little more comfortable.

The two maids stood quietly in the corner, smiling, waiting for the guests' orders.

Nock looked at the black tea in his hand, and had no intention of touching it.

Although he was summoned along with Aelo Cowater, Sherlock Holmes.

But he really couldn't think of why Her Majesty, who had reigned for almost twenty years, suddenly summoned such a translucent person as him.

As a priest of the excluded Holy Church, in addition to being a priest, Nock is just an adult orphan, and the only thing that is still bright is that he has become a professional at a young age.

But there are countless professionals in the kingdom, and even geniuses among the nobles and commoners are emerging in an endless stream.

Younger than Nock, a strong professional in Binok, in England City alone, Nok has encountered a lot.

The queen could not have summoned him just by that reason.

Could it be that the queen is going to beat herself?

Yes, as a church priest who was suppressed by the kingdom, Nock dared to make the British police station deflated today.

Perhaps this is what has angered Her Majesty.

After all, the British Police Service is also a new agency advocated by Her Majesty.

Offending the police station is tantamount to offending the queen indirectly!

Just when Nock was thinking.

In the study next door, Alan Cowater was already trembling and sweating.

At this time, Allen was kneeling on one knee, with his head down, and was being reprimanded by the queen.

"Look at what good things you've done in the past six months!"

The queen threw the report from the spies on the table in front of Allen, and counted him loudly.

"The people's entrustment cannot be solved, and this is okay, after all, they are accustomed to finding various professional unions to fulfill their entrustment."

"But in the management of public security, you have also failed so much!"

"You said you wanted to equip the patrol with a gun, but I didn't! To give them swords, I have sent you the standard longsword of the Knights! ”

"In terms of funding, I haven't been short of you. But just a serial murder case, you didn't solve the case for two whole months, not to mention, and it made everyone know about it, and people were panicked! ”

"Even the only survivor was hastily married out of fear!"

"That's what you did for me? The answer you handed me in? How are you going to get me to get this report to the council and show it to those old diehards! ”

"What's even more odious is that if you can't catch the criminal, you still want to frame others as murderers with great fanfare!"

"What, you can't catch the murderer, and you plan to make up one yourself to fool me and the council?"

"Or do you think that the power in your hands can already cover the sky with one hand, and whatever you say is what, that's why you dare to mess around in front of the public and frame a clergyman in person!"

The more the queen spoke, the more angry she became, and she slapped the table with a "bang", and the person also stood up.

The old lady stepped out from behind the table, shook off the hand of the head maid, who wanted to help her, and strode up to Alan Cowater.

"Kowater, you look up and look at me. Tell me what the hell you think! I trust you so much, and I entrust you with full authority for the new organization, and that's how you treat my trust! ”

The queen's words made Eren embarrassed.

He wanted to defend himself, but in the face of the queen's heart-wrenching gaze, he lost the courage to refute.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, for disappointing your expectations."

The queen waved her hand and sat down in disappointment.

She tapped the index finger of her right hand on the table, staring at Kowater, whose face was full of guilt, and finally couldn't bear to give up on him.

"Viscount Cowater, your father, was once my supporter. I am always grateful for his support. For this reason, I did not hesitate to promote you to be the captain of the Knights. ”

"Originally, I could have continued to appoint you as one of the retained Legion Commanders. But I would like you to be at the helm of my new organization, a support I can trust. ”

"But I am disappointed by your performance, I don't see the knights who have contributed to the kingdom, I see only a coward who cowers."

"Since you can't solve serial murders, do what you're good at. This is also my last chance for you. ”

"You've probably heard the news of the destruction of the village of Cred. I command you, take your men, and find out this matter for me! Why a village outside England was destroyed was not heard of by my army, police station, or even officials. ”

"We had to hear it from a down-and-out priest!"

"I need you to give me a thorough investigation, what is the problem, why the marketing department that needs to buy goods from Cred every day, has never reported Cred's abnormality!"

"In a week's time, I want to know who has teamed up to hide the truth! In a week, you're going to put the list of these people on my desk! Can it be done? ”

How else could Alan answer, he could only stubbornly reply: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

Alan hesitated for a moment before asking, "......What about the situation in the village of Cred?"

The queen waved her hand and said, "I'll find someone to investigate again." Of course, if you are interested, you can also do your own private research. It should help you find the rats in England City. I want these bullies to pay a terrible price! ”

The momentum exuded by the queen made Allen, who was bloody, feel suffocated.

This is the spirit of the superior, and it is the innate ability of the royal bloodline!

Alan looked at the queen feverishly at this time, excited that he could gain the queen's trust, and proud that he had the opportunity to continue to follow such a monarch.

"Alright, you can step aside." The queen ignored the frenzy in Alan's eyes, the kind of look she had seen a lot over the years.

"By the way, when you leave, remember to take the Holmes boy with you. Remember to warn him to study hard, just study hard, and don't make trouble for adults. Baron Holmes is the man who can be my sword, and you, I want you to be my shield. Don't let me down, Kowater! ”

"Your Majesty, panic!" Alan Cowater didn't expect the queen to value herself so much, and she was happy and scared.

He was led out of the Queen's study, led by the head maid.

The butler, who had been guarding the door for a long time, kindly summoned a maid and asked her to escort Alan out of the palace.

As for Sherlock, someone had already taken him from the audience hall to the gate of the palace, waiting to join Alan and leave together.
