As dusk came, Joshua began his dinner. Steaming bread slathered with freshly stirred butter, a bowl of thick beef broth, delicately crafted chicken and grilled sausages accompanied by a few carved carrots, plus some precious seafood and peaches soaked in honey. It was the most sumptuous dinner he remembered. After the palace rebellion many years ago, Joshua lost all his memories, and only the bits and pieces from Settling on Craigie Island were the beginning of his memories. Although he was still enjoying a sumptuous meal every night until he was six years old, he could not recall any of his memories at all. But for some reason, his stomach seems to be full of bitter bile now, and he doesn't have much appetite even if the food is in front of him.

Tyrion listlessly stabbed a gray, fat sausage and looked at it for a long time. He didn't know why he had come to a parallel world, and his mind was still full of scenes of being struck by lightning after breaking through the chess game.

Although it seems very majestic to be a king, this is not the life of his dreams, but unfortunately this is life. Now he misses his Uncle Geraint dearly, and since Parsa talks about his engagement, the girls like Hanar, Tim, and Barbara come to mind. Thinking of this, he knotted his stomach. He wished he could wake up from his dream soon.

"Your Majesty?" Suddenly, an attendant came to report, "Tomorrow there will be a jousting trial, and the Prime Minister has asked you to rest early and come to the scene to watch this battle between knights." ”

"Uh, what's your name?"

"Pie...... Rui ......" The attendant hesitated. He tried to answer, but only squeezed out a weak whisper.

"Alright, needless to say, you're my good squire. Either way, I thank you for your loyal service. Joshua sighed.

Sir Adam and six golden-robed guards waited outside the door. It seems that he has nothing to say today. Another person who thinks I'm a relicide.

Joshua finished his dinner and returned to his dormitory under the guidance of his attendants. As he passed through the courtyard, he felt many pairs of eyes watching him: the court guards, the grooms at the stables, and the servants, washerwomen, and maids-in-waiting. When he saw the king, the knights and nobles who stayed in the palace made way for him, and then whispered to the noblewomen beside him.

"Martial arts trials are a fairly new term to me. Joshua thought to himself, "The gods of heaven will surely protect the righteous side." Then I will know whether the man named Byron is the real murderer who poisoned the king. But when I saw him in the throne room, I didn't think he was a bad guy. His speech and temperament are very similar to Uncle Geraint's. Alas, Uncle Geraint, where are you now? I want to kill you......"

"How does he know so much?" On the other side, in a large mansion in Floating City, Parsa angrily asked Ekbeldo, "Roger, this guy seems to have been prepared, and even let her wife go to Foglin City and rush back to Floating City overnight. Fortunately, now he grabbed the most shady straw after the martial arts trial. Have you figured out who will be the acting knight on our side?"

"If you're going to be sure, it's best to ask those strong men at the level of the regimental commander to come out, my lord," said Ekbeldo, "and if Byron can't fight for himself, then Roger will definitely find the acting knight." My lord, the worst possibility is that Captain Roger himself will be Byron's acting knight. So we had to convince one of the other heads to act as our agent. Ekber thought for a moment and said. "Among the current captains of the Five Dragons Knights, Bolton of the Golden Dragon will obviously not be Roger's opponent. As a mage unit, I'm not well suited to this kind of knightly duel. There are only two candidates left, Lord Bai Ao of the White Dragon Knights and Lord Schroeder of the Red Dragon Knights. Both of them are militants, and I'm sure they'll be interested in a militant trial. It's just that until the Byron's acting knights are confirmed, I'm worried that they won't make a promise easily. After all, with the arrogant character of Lord Bai Ao, if the opponent is not too strong, he will not bother to participate in the war at all. And Lord Schroeder is an extremely fanatical battle beast, and he will be more than happy to go to war whenever he can go to war. So I think it's better to make a breakthrough from Lord Schroeder and ask him to be my acting knight. ”

Parsa frowned, "Are you sure you can convince him?"

"It's hard to say," Ekberdo said cautiously. "I'll have to try it first, and of course it's best to get news of Byron's acting knight as soon as possible, so that I can provoke Lord Schroeder. ”

Parsa smiled coldly: "Now the entire imperial city is full of our people, and there are only a few people who are willing to be acting knights for Byron." Several core members of the Golden Dragon Knights have been on the run now, otherwise I think Byron's most trusted disciple, the chief of the Golden Dragon Knights, is actually Geraint. ”

"This guy has been growing by leaps and bounds for a few years under Byron's tutelage. When he was in the Knight Academy, several regiment commanders were very optimistic about him, thinking that he was a genius and that he had a powerful force in his body. "His failure to bring him to justice is a potential threat to us." Although his current strength is not as good as those group leaders, he definitely has the strength to go through a few rounds under them. ”

It wasn't long before word reached Parsa's ears about the selection of the acting knight on Byron's side. Not surprisingly, Roger became Byron's agent. Ecberdo smiled slightly, and after settling in, he headed to Schroeder's official residence in Floating City.

"Is this true," Schroeder laughed loudly at the visiting Ecbert, "I didn't expect Roger, as the head of the Blue Dragon Knights, to openly side with the suspect who poisoned the king." "The laughter doubled. Schroeder's mouth twisted in joy, his stomach trembled, and he almost laughed so hard that snot splashed out of his nostrils.

Schroeder suddenly stopped laughing. "Your Excellency!" he stood up, "you're here to convince me to deal with that Roger guy, aren't you?" he held up a hand. Slowly, he clenched his huge fist, looking very excited.

"Exactly, dear Lord Schroeder. "Originally, Lord Parsa wanted to ask Lord Bai to be our acting knight, but I strongly recommend you to him as the first choice. ”

Ekbeldo nodded and gestured. He seemed confident, meeting Schroeder with his gaze. "We are a little unpredictable about the way Lord Bai Ao behaves, and he doesn't seem to have taken Lord Parsa or even His Majesty the King seriously. On the other hand, Lord Schroeder, although you do not usually bother to observe the so-called knightly etiquette, at least I can see your loyalty to His Majesty the King. ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on Schroeder's face. "Don't give me such nice words," he said, "don't you just want me to help you deal with Roger?"

Ekberdo nodded. "If it weren't for Lord Hakan's mysterious disappearance, Lord Bai Ao wouldn't have been the leader of the White Dragon Knights. If this tournament trial is a contest between regimental commanders, then you are still the best candidate. ”

"Well, no more talk," Schroeder said, "I'm interested if the opponent is really Roger." He took a step closer to Ekbeldo. "Go back and tell the Prime Minister that I will be your acting knight for tomorrow's martial arts trial!"

"Great, Lord Schroeder," said Ecbertau, delighted. "Tomorrow's judgment will be yours. ”

"But Roger is not an easy opponent to beat. ”

"I believe you, Lord Schroeder. As far as I can tell, Lord Roger's swordsmanship is known for its dexterity, and his strength may not be able to pierce your armor. All you have to do is give him a fatal blow with your mighty strength. ”

"I don't need you to teach me how to fight, do you?" Schroeder turned his face to the side, a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry Lord Schroeder, I just lost my words. In fact, the trial of the contest is to let the gods in the sky judge a person's innocence, Lord Schroeder, you as our acting knight represent the side of justice, and there is no problem in winning. ”

"Don't be disgusting, Ecbeldo, why don't you hurry back?" Schroeder shouted.
