Chapter 131: Parallel Worlds

"You ...... What are you doing here?" Joshua's eyes widened and he felt very puzzled, "Your Majesty, where is the king?"

"Your Majesty the King, don't laugh, it's not the first time that you have pretended to have amnesia in order to escape the early dynasty. The attendant knelt on the ground and said, "Please be considerate of us who are attendants, or the Prime Minister will punish us again......

"I don't understand what you're talking about...... Joshua was incredulous when he heard them call themselves kings.

"Your Majesty, today is an important day, don't miss it......" Suddenly a deep voice appeared in the back garden. Joshua noticed a middle-aged man in a black robe, with a bearded beard, approaching him. Joshua always felt that this face had been seen somewhere, and his smile was so strange that it sent chills down his spine.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, are you here? His Majesty the King is pretending to have amnesia again, and we can't call him. The squire turned to the middle-aged man.

"Your Majesty, we are going to convene a royal council this morning to try Byron, the head of the Golden Dragon Knights who murdered the previous king. The middle-aged man said with a smile, "The major captains of the knight order and all the nobles in the royal city will be present at this early dynasty. ”

"I think you must have mistaken someone, right? I was struck by a red lightning bolt at the Flame Temple, and before I knew it, I was in this place. I am not your king......" Joshua shook his head.

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to joke. The old king's bones are not cold, and today we are going to try the murderer of His Majesty's majesty......" The middle-aged man glared at Joshua with a sharp gaze, and Joshua felt a breathtaking feeling in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, hurry up, the Imperial Council is about to be held, and if you don't leave, it will be too late......" Several attendants helped Joshua out of the city under the hint of the middle-aged man.

"Wait a minute, I'm really not a king...... You let me go......" Joshua cried out, "I don't even know what the trial is all about, and it's useless for you to let me go?"

"Your Majesty, you need not be in a hurry. As Prime Minister, I will definitely help you with your worries. The middle-aged man smiled, "Byron's murder of the king has been confirmed, and you only need to sign your name on the verdict at that time." ”

"Byron, what's that name for me?" Joshua was helped all the way to the palace hall. Joshua glanced at the entire palace hall. The throne room is filled with sparkling jewels and rich furs, as well as bright brocades that echo the resplendent of the royal palace. The ministers and ladies of the floating city gathered at the back of the hall, standing under the high windows outside the court. Joshua felt like he had seen such a scene for the first time in his life, but he had a sense of déjà vu in his mind.

"Everyone, be quiet, Your Majesty the King is in ......," one of the court officials shouted in the throne room.

Surrounded by a group of chamberlains, Joshua slowly walked to the throne. Joshua looked around and saw many knights in ornate armor standing in front of the court. A man with blond hair and a hint of arrogance in his eyes, dressed in heavy silver armor and a long, heavy white cloak draped over his shoulders, stood in front of the throne to the left. In front of the throne to the right, Joshua spotted two familiar figures. "Why are you?" Joshua almost screamed in fright when he saw the tall man in the red mechanical armor.

The image of this man was so impressive to him that Joshua could not forget the powerful power that emanated from this man that once brought him despair. The crowd was taken aback when they heard Joshua's shout. The Prime Minister with a strange smile hurriedly asked Joshua, "Your Majesty, what have you seen, and it scares you." ”

Joshua subconsciously shook his head, silently wishing he wouldn't be recognized by that guy. It turned out that person was none other than the head of the Red Dragon Knights, the Beast Schroeder. But when his gaze wandered to the tall man in red armor, he became even more surprised. "Isn't this Uncle Roger?When did he change into this knight's costume?And how could he get mixed up with that beast?" Seeing this, Joshua quickly covered his mouth to hide his uneasiness, and pretended to be calm and walked to the throne.

"Now that His Majesty has arrived, Sir Keyman, we can begin today's Imperial Council. The Prime Minister smiled and said to a tall, bearded, but good-looking man.

"Yes, Lord Parsa!" Ser Keyman replied with one hand on his chest, then turned and shouted aloud, "Princes and ministers and members of the nobility of Floating City. Today we are holding one of the most important royal councils of our lives in the throne room, and that is to try Byron, the head of the Golden Dragon Knights, who murdered the late old king, the Holy King Roy! ”

"Parsa, that's a familiar name...... Joshua frowned, "No, isn't this guy the one Uncle Gerainte mentioned to me, the current king of the Reims Empire?

Not long after, a man with long blond hair, a tall figure, and a serious expression was escorted to the main hall by several soldiers. He was shackled to his hands and feet, and was forced to his knees before Joshua by the soldiers. Somehow, when Joshua and his blue-black eyes looked at each other, Joshua seemed to feel very familiar.

"Is he Byron?" thought Joshua, "and his first impression to me should be that he was a serious, upright man, and why should he be a sinner who murdered the king?"

"Your Majesty, our trial can begin!" said Keyman, stroking Joshua with one hand.

At this time, the Prime Minister pretended to be sincere and asked Joshua to preside over the public trial on his behalf, and solemnly announced to everyone present: "As the head of the Black Dragon Demon Guide Knights and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Reims, I am willing to share the worries of His Majesty the King and preside over this public trial." It is hoped that Byron, a traitor, will be sentenced to justice as soon as possible, so as to comfort the dead old king. Then the attendants took a parchment scroll and brought it to the Prime Minister and slowly opened it, and the Prime Minister read the contents of the parchment scroll by hand. The nobles in the high window, and their wives and children, began to gossip.

Joshua's eyes did not turn to the prime minister's side at this time, but kept staring at the two people on his right: "This big beast doesn't seem to recognize me? But Uncle Roger pretended not to see anything? Could it be that I really look exactly like the king of this country?"

"Hmph, what kind of public trial, isn't the result already decided? Parsa is about to start that clumsy show again. The arrogant knight on the left had a look of contempt on his face. It turned out that this prime minister was none other than Parsa, the head of the Black Dragon Knights.

"I didn't expect Lord Byron to do such a thing?" said Schroeder, touching his head.

"I don't think it's that simple......," Roger on the side looked serious, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, "Lord Byron is determined to prove his innocence, so he will become a prisoner of the ranks." If he had escaped earlier, he would have been fine......"

Parsa rolled up in parchment, walked slowly to Byron in a gorgeous red blanket, read his charges to the crowd, and announced that Byron was sentenced to death. At this time, the knights and ladies present cheered enthusiastically like spectators at the cockfighting ring: "Kill him! Kill him! Avenge His Majesty the King!"

"Is there anything else you would like to say, Lord Byron?" Parsa bent down and put her head closer to Byron, smiling, "Even your subordinate, the giant Bolton, has come forward to testify against you, and I would like to hear what else you can defend yourself." ”

"So it's Bolton?" Byron glared at Parsa, "He's been in cahoots with you, Parsa, you're like the black maggot, gnawing at the heart of the kingdom!" I won't give in to you even if I die......"
