Chapter 132: Joshua's Marriage Contract

The trial of Byron continued, and the court was full of voices calling for Byron's punishment to be severe. The audience shouted in unison like domesticated dogs that Byron was guilty, and the clamor drowned out all the other voices in the court like waves, and no one could hear Byron if he tried to defend himself.

"It's really noisy, there is always a swarm of flies buzzing in the court hall at every imperial meeting......" Schroeder said with a yawn.

"Hmph......" Bai Ao swept his gaze to the shouting crowd in the auditorium, with a look of disdain on his face. Only Roger stared at Byron who was bound to ** with a solemn face, thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty," Parsa said, "the minister thinks that the case has been settled and the evidence is conclusive. Byron, as the head of the Golden Dragon Knights of the Kingdom of Reims, committed such a heinous crime, and only capital punishment could comfort the dead king. In addition, Byron's men were punished by stripping them of their titles and expelling them from the royal city according to the severity of their crimes. ”

"Goddess of Light, my head is going to explode...... Joshua thought to himself, "How do I know if these things are true or not?"

Before Joshua could speak, several guards in iron armor stepped forward to lift Byron and escort him out of the court. "Sinners should pay...... and "Punish traitors to the kingdom severely......" There were all kinds of voices in the palace hall.

"Your Majesty, the guilty have been judged, is it now time to reward the meritorious?" Parsa smiled at Joshua.

"Prime Minister, whatever you say is what you say. Joshua looked confused and shook his head in response.

"Your Majesty the King, this time you can quickly find out the real culprit who murdered the king. One of the three major magicians of the Black Dragon Knights under his command, Lord Ekberdo has made great contributions. Parsa stroked her chest with one hand, "Your Majesty begs Your Majesty to allow her to resign as head of the Black Dragon Knights and be replaced by Lord Ecbertor. And the minister can also concentrate on the post of prime minister and share the worries of His Majesty. ”

"Alright, do what you say!" Joshua shook his hand.

"Your Majesty, you should say—'Quasi-played'!" a nearby attendant muttered softly in Joshua's ear.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. The minister will do everything in his power to lead the Black Dragon Knights to serve His Majesty's allegiance......" Ekberdo stepped forward and fell to his knees.

Parsa hurriedly picked up Ecbeldo and imprinted a kiss on his cheek, "The future of the Black Dragon Knights is in your hands, my dear Ecbeldo. ”

Ecberdo bowed his head and said, "Becoming one of the leaders of the Five Dragon Knights of the Kingdom is the glory of his life. There is no greater honor than to serve His Majesty. He is willing to consult the Knights of the Kingdom with his meager body, and he will not hesitate to do so. ”

Parsa put a hand on Ecbeldo's shoulder and kissed him again as he got up, "Your Majesty has given permission!"

"Next, I would like to ask Your Majesty to give a heavy bounty to the infantry commander of the Dragon Knights, the Giant Bolton!" Parsa continued, "If it weren't for Lord Bolton's deep understanding of righteousness, fearless of power, and the crimes of his ruler Byron made known to the public, the ministers would have found out the real culprit. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to crown Bolton as the new head of the Golden Dragon Knights, in order to fight against all your potential enemies and protect your safety. ”

Bolton was approaching his fifties, very tall, and bearded, but it was obvious that there was a hint of white in the gray. His chest was thicker and his shoulders wider than everyone present, and he was arguably the strongest man in the entire court except for the beast Schroeder. And his height is more pronounced than Schroeder, worthy of the title of giant. "Your Majesty," he said, as he suddenly walked from an inconspicuous corner to the throne, and before Joshua could speak, he was the first to speak, "and the ministers are devoted to serving His Majesty, and although Lord Byron favors me, he has committed such a mortal sin that even a minister cannot protect him." However, as the commander of the infantry of the Golden Dragon Knights, the minister had not been able to stop the captain from plotting to kill the king, so that now that the king is dead, Lord Byron is about to be executed. As the head of the Golden Dragon Knights, the minister really doesn't dare to take it. ”

Suddenly, Parsa pretended to be surprised: "Lord Bolton, when Byron plotted to kill the king and led the rebels to seize the throne, you resolutely drew a line with him, and helped several other knights to quickly exterminate the traitors. Now that the Golden Dragon Knights have suffered heavy losses, and at a time when everything is in ruins, the position of head of the regiment is none other than you!"

The robe flew up, and Ecberdo suddenly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I also think that Lord Bolton has made great achievements in this counterinsurgency, and in addition to all the conspiracies and plots of the criminal Byron. Today's minister has succeeded him as the head of the Black Dragon Knights, and Lord Bolton is above the ministers, and the rest of the senior commanders of the Golden Dragon Knights are still stubborn, always on the side of the traitor Byron. In this way, Lord Bolton deserves the position of head of the regiment!"

"What do the other captains think?" Parsa shifted his gaze to the other three captains.

"I don't care, you can let whoever you like be!" Bai Ao sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"Ha Luha, let this guy Bolton fight with me, and if he wins, I'll agree. Schroeder's appearance was shocking, and Parsa, Burton and others changed their faces when they heard Schroeder's words.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding. Schroeder smiled, "This guy Bolton will not be my opponent for another ten years of training, and the position of the head of the Golden Dragon Knights cannot be empty forever." Since you've chosen Burton, I don't have a problem with that. ”

"Mistress Roger, what is your opinion?" Parsa turned his gaze to Roger.

"The other heads of the regiment had no opinion just now, but Bolton had already won a majority of votes, so you don't have to ask my opinion again, Prime Minister!" replied Roger.

"No, no, no!" Parsa smiled eerily, "The Five Dragon Knights should work together together, and I don't want to see dissatisfaction among the leaders because of some decisions, so that everyone can't work together to fight against foreign enemies." ”

"Prime Minister, I think you're overthinking. Roger smiled and said, "Our Blue Dragon Knights are loyal to His Majesty, and the gods can learn from them! The Five Dragon Knights will definitely do their best for His Majesty the King as close as brothers." ”

"I'm relieved when you say that, Lord Roger. Parsa smiled, "As the former Prime Minister, on behalf of the royal family, I welcome Lord Bolton to the position of head of the Golden Dragon Knights, which symbolizes the protection of the royal family. ”

"Well, Your Majesty, the trial of the prisoners is done, and now that the rewards are almost finished, shall we retreat?" Joshua said, looking around.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the murder of the king by Byron, there is another important issue that needs to be decided in the court today. Parsa said, "And it has something to do with you, Your Majesty!"

"What else is important?" asked Joshua, pretendingly, "Isn't it possible to discuss it tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, now that you are the king of a country, it is imperative to choose a candidate for the queen. Parsa suddenly laughed, "This is the top priority of the entire Lance Kingdom." ”

"Goddess of Light, how old am I, and the matter of the Queen is still far away for me, right?" Joshua thought to himself.

However, Joshua was about to say something, but was interrupted by Parsa: "Your Majesty, you have just inherited the throne, so the time is a little rushed. But if you decide on the queen's candidate as soon as possible, it can be listed as a matter of the minister's mind earlier. ”

"But at my age, I'm not fit to get married. Joshua shook his head and said, "Besides, I don't know any young noble ladies with whom I have no affection. ”

"Your Majesty, I know your thoughts. You and Miss Hainar, daughter of the Lord of Craigi Island, the Great Sword Hager, are in love. But judging from the results of the Byron investigation, Haig Mallory was also involved in the conspiracy. Byron promised him all the realms of the Port of Banishmar once he became king. It is both unwise and inappropriate to marry the daughter of a traitor who has erected a banner of rebellion. Your Majesty, for the sake of the welfare of the nation, the Imperial Council earnestly asks you to make up your mind to let go of your feelings with Miss Henal Mallory. ”
