Perhaps a few months later, King Nacini would regret his harsh attitude towards Davide, but more likely, he would regret that he had been too lenient and did not immediately draw his sword and kill him.

In the Battle of the Wolves, King Nacini chooses Davide to sign a contract with the dragon, which should be the pinnacle of the relationship between the two. Since then, Davide's true nature has gradually been exposed, and the once down-and-out prince has become a celebrity in the royal court, and because of the existence of the dragon, his position is extremely stable, so it is not difficult to imagine how high-flying he is.

In the process, King Nacini remained patient, for he believed that Davide's loyalty could compensate for other shortcomings. Even though Davide sent someone to assassinate Allegri, the Lion King was only a formality, and soon after his removal from office, he was reinstated, and his power was even greater.

This may have given Davide a lot of confidence, and he acted more and more fearlessly, and the army led by him was also the least disciplined in the Southern Expeditionary Army.

At the same time, King Nacini began to secretly plan to eliminate the influence of the aristocratic forces. On weekdays, he comes into contact with young men like Modesic and Sunia, who are from the middle and lower classes and have outstanding abilities. As a result, King Nacini's eyes gradually became critical, and his attitude towards Davide quietly changed.

It is a mistake to look at Davide, a child of the royal family, by the standard of treating the members of the "Iron Lions". King Nacini didn't realize this, and Davide, who had a high degree of self-confidence, was even more unscrupulous, challenging the king's bottom line again and again.

Finally, with this dragon murder, he successfully reached the bottom.

Of course, for Davide, this is not such a strict thing. Those lowly civilians are just dispensable ants in his eyes. Being buried in the belly of the dragon may be the greatest value in their lives, not to mention, they are not the natives of the Snowton Empire. Kill and kill, eat and eat, and he flies away with the dragon. Go straight into the sky and leave it behind in the blink of an eye.

Generally speaking, no one will delve into this matter, and this black cauldron is likely to be pushed on the desert cavalry. Dozens of fresh lives will be lost with the wind, leaving no trace.

But a surviving boy meets an upright old man and a nosy staff officer. He stabbed the matter in front of King Nacini.

The king was furious, and the civil and military made peace, and with the joint efforts of Carter Romans and Schiller, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. In particular, the strategist Schiller skillfully diverted everyone's attention. Sunia, who is not willing to be lonely, is fueling the troubles.

Yes, if you are a casual person, you can bring down the general of the army by crying. What will the officers and men on the front line think? The morale of the army and the will of the people is really a dilemma.

"Your Majesty. I would like to vouch for Narota, with my honour and title. "At this time, it was Viscount Sirea again, who stepped forward. Inside the Lion King's tent, under the angry gaze of the dragon knight Davide, he holds a sword in his hand. A sacred vow was made.

Carter Roman let out a soft "huh" and looked sideways at him. This gray-haired old viscount embodies fearless courage. On the premise that he can't get any benefits, he resolutely stands up for the weak, I really don't know. Is this noble, or stupid?

Perhaps a few years later, a passage on the tombstone of Viscount Sirea will answer: "Here rests a venerable elder who has embodied the spirit of chivalry in his life's words and deeds, so that a child whose heart is full of hatred will not be led to the path of evil." ”

The inscription is, Narota Sirea.

At that time, the old viscount had already passed away for many years, the grass grew in front of the tomb, and the mountains behind the tomb were majestic.

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

But soon, Schiller's voice sounded again, "Your Excellency the Viscount is really high-spirited, but I don't think that a small grain guard can be compared to the dragon knight General Davide, and this guarantee is invalid." He deliberately added an accent to the "grain officer", in the Snowton military system, the food guard officer is generally a second-class lieutenant, which is indeed far from the "general".

"Your Majesty, let's transfer it to the Judge Advocate General's Office for trial," Cattroman also said in a remark, "Until then, Davide can stay in the army for probation for the time being, and he can also make meritorious contributions." ”

"General, don't forget, it was during the period of meritorious service that he committed this incident. King Nacini retorted. If it is really handed over to the Judge Advocate General's Office for trial, then I don't know what year and month it will have to wait. Although he was committed to reforming the military and political system, the results were not realized, and most military and political institutions were still inefficient, and the redundant process was full of tricks.

"I, I can vouch for that too. At this moment, Narota also spoke timidly, even though he didn't understand why he wanted to vouch. This is actually the obligation of both parties in the ancient "royal judgment" to prevent false accusations and frame-ups.

"What guarantee do you have?" Schiller smiled coldly and sneered, "Take that torn robe from you?" The shirt on the boy's body, which was given by the old viscount, had to be folded several layers because it was too wide, but it still didn't seem to fit.

"I ...... And this life. The boy replied softly to his taunt.

The smile on Schiller's face froze.

"Your Majesty," said Nerota, bowing awkwardly, and looking up in pleading, "I vouch with my life that every word I have just spoken is true, and I beg you to do justice for me...... I know that I am far less noble than the Dragon Knight, and the only thing in common is that we both have only one life, so let's use my life as a guarantee...... If what I say is false, please kill me, if what I say is true, please kill me too, it is the price I pay for offending the nobles, but I beg you, don't let my parents and relatives die in vain......"

He said in fits and starts, sometimes needing to stop and think about what to say next. When he finished speaking, there was silence in the tent, and King Nacini was shocked, subconsciously looked at Viscount Sirea, and asked softly, "You taught it?"

The old viscount shook his head slowly, and from the shock on his face, King Nacini knew that he was not lying.

So has this child long ago made up his mind to die? This is the so-called "will to die."

Cartroman took a step back and remained silent. Schiller stammered and had nothing to say. On the contrary, Sunia looked at Nerota with some admiration, and there was a trace of pride hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"Pass me an edict and ask Master Bilano to set out overnight to investigate the scene," King Nacini took a deep breath and ordered aloud, "Deprive Davide of his military position, put him in prison, and convene the civil and military ministers tomorrow morning to carry out a public trial." ”
