Everyone went out, leaving Johnson inside. The huge room is even more empty at the moment.

"Billy, looking at you, I think of my Floyd, but unfortunately he is not as lucky as you. King William was the first to open the conversation.

"Your Majesty......" Johnson just spoke.

"Don't call me Your Majesty......"

"Yes, Uncle William......" Johnson glanced at William and saw that he didn't refute anymore.

"Freud's prestige among the people was indeed very high. And he's a good guy indeed. ”

"It's really a trick, I killed my own brother back then, but now it's also on my own body. So Billy, this location is still the most suitable for you to come. King William said.

"Uncle William, I really don't want to be this king. Johnson said stubbornly.

"I know you really don't want to do it, but it's because of that you can do better. I was the same back then, and I didn't want to sit in this position. But you have to understand that everything is for the people...... I...... You don't have a choice, and you don't have a choice. It is your responsibility, as a descendant of Charlemagne. King William told Johnson frankly that it was his responsibility.

Johnson was silent, he knew that this might be his duty......

"I don't have a son anymore! If you don't accept the throne, I don't know who will end up in the hands of this position. This kind of unknown thing is not a good thing for the people. What Charlemagne needs is peaceful development. King William continued.

"I know, Uncle William, but I have a lot of things on my plate, and I want to come back when I'm done with them. Johnson said.

"The young lady of the wood magician you brought with you in the morning, she detoxified the poison in my body and gave me some medicine. She said I should have more than three years to live. In the past three years, you can deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible. King William looked at Johnson and compromised and gave Johnson three more years.

Johnson nodded silently, he understood that if he didn't agree at this time, he couldn't say it.

"And Miss Chloe of the Trist family, do you think she's good-looking?...... Not bad! I hope you can marry her. This should be the only good thing left of your father. King William somehow thought of Chloe again.

"If you want to rule this kingdom smoothly, you have to marry her. Because the Trist family can provide a large economic base for your rule. That's why I asked Floyd to marry Chloe. Even though Freud already had a sweetheart, I forced him to do it. In fact, he was unwilling in his heart. ”

"So, what the Light Bishop said is true?"

"Yes, Freud had a sweetheart in the suburbs. In fact, there are not many people in the Kingdom who know this. As for the love killing, I think Edward concocted it. Freud and she really loved each other, but I kept blocking her, so she didn't enter the royal family, and if I hadn't done this, maybe Freud wouldn't have died on the road. ”

"Uncle, it's not your responsibility, Edward he wants to kill someone, no matter what, there is a chance. Johnson reassured.

"Maybe you're right. But for Freud, I was filled with guilt. ”

The two continued to talk about some other things in the room, until it was about to get dark, when Johnson opened the door and came out.

Wren and the others had been waiting outside this door, and when they saw Johnson coming out, they hurriedly gathered around to confirm something.

"Captain Johnson, they all want to know if you are going to stay and be king. Wren asked on behalf of everyone.

Johnson looked at everyone, and saw that everyone's eyes showed true feelings.

"Don't worry, I won't be back as king in three years. Johnson said.

The crowd cheered. In their eyes, where is the freedom to be a mercenary as a king......

......

Meanwhile, the Cathedral of Light in Arthur's City. Bishop Richard was writing letters quickly. Before the ink was completely dry, I impatiently put the letter in the envelope. And carefully sealed all possible leaks with wax seals. Then there was a knock on the table, and a priest walked in.

"Send as quickly as possible to the High Priest of Light in Tia City. Archbishop Richard said.

"Yes. The priest hurriedly responded.

It wasn't until the priest walked out that the archbishop said to himself.

"Edward, an idiot, I'm glad I didn't place all my bets on him. ”

At this moment, a man came out of the shadows.

"Bishop Richard, you say true, but if Edward succeeds, it will save us a lot of trouble. From my business point of view, it is natural to fight for the lowest input in exchange for the highest output. The mysterious man said.

If Chloe had been here, she would have recognized it at a sight, it was her father, Edmund Trist, the current de facto controller of the Trist consortium.

"Trist, I think you've always been prepared with both hands, can you put all your chips into me now?" Richard looked at Trist silently.

"That's natural. Trist hesitated for a moment, but held out his hand.

Richard hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook his hands together, which is a tradition in the mainland. As long as the two shake hands like this, it means that the contract has been reached.

"And what about your daughter?" Richard continued.

"Just let her stay with those people. Maybe it's still useful when it's critical. Trist said.

"You don't want to play both sides of the game behind your back. You know the power of our Church of Light. Richard said, looking at Trist.

"Whatever the Bishop says, we Trist have always been friendly with the Holy See of Light in Tia City, but we Trist have never interfered in anything the Church wants to do. Trist hurriedly argued.

"My daughter has already been dizzy by that Floyd. Now it's good to let her follow those people to calm down. Trist continued.

"Just don't be mistaken by Billy. You see, you still need to write a letter to your daughter to give advice. Richard said.

"Your Excellency is right, then borrow a pen and paper from your Excellency, and write a letter to her. Trist said as he walked over to Richard's desk and picked up his pen.
