“Bad News”
Chapter 54:“Bad News”
Pero didn’t expect to re-visit so quickly.
He did not want to leave his warm house in such a cold winter, especially in the time of the evil beast, but Prince Lane named himself to the four princes.
He certainly knew the contents of the writing—indeed, the whole of the upper aristocrats of the Greysburgs were discussing the startling news: the King of the Greys had fallen for a murder, and it was Golon Wimbledon, the eldest son of the King who murdered him.Then the next son rushed to the royal capital, announced that the country can not be without a king for a day, he will ascend to the throne as the second heir.
However, this act was not accepted by everyone, and it was claimed that Golon's trial was very treachery, and that he only appeared several times during the interrogation, and that his hands were tied.I hope that I can wait until the matter is completely investigated before the throne is decided.
Some people are rumored that this is not a second time, Tifeko Wimbledon self-directed a play, the real murderer is pretending to be a sad look, but can't wait to wait for the second prince to ascend the throne.
Regardless of who was right and who was wrong in this debate, the two princes, with the strong support of the former prime minister, temporarily seized the rights of the supreme ruler of the gray castle as the king's acting.At the same time, he issued a recall order to all his competitors, and the princes and princesses should return to the royal capital before the end of winter after receiving the will.The new king will officially be accredited territory and titles based on his six-month rule.
Pero could certainly see the urgency of the command.
Whether Tiffaco Wimbledon can sit firmly on the throne depends on the reaction of the other princes and princesses.If all of them give up the king and return to the royal city, then he will naturally become the undisputed Wimbledon IV.
The paperwork sent to the border town would first be transferred to the Long Song Fortress, and the recall would be scoffed at by the Duke of Lane himself.When the king was alive, he had a higher control over the lords everywhere, and as for the two princes, it was extremely hard to do this forced enthroned.In addition, the example of Golon being sent to the guillotine, I was afraid that no one would want to return to the royal capital alone.
However, in the eyes of the six fortresses, this is an opportune order.
More than two months ago, the Duke was very unhappy with the unscruptive actions planned by the Count of Elk, and in particular failed.The reaction on the prince's side was also very fierce, and Hills Meade was directly sentenced to death by hanging, and if it came next, both sides could be regarded as openly torn face.
Originally, the duke intended to wait until the end of the demonic month before freeing himself up to solve the trouble, and now with this document, he could do more justly.Roland Wimbledon returned to the royal capital, the border town naturally owned by the Duke of Lane, and if he did not return to the royal capital, he could force each other by force - carrying the new king's flag.
As for whose hand the final crown fell, the duke did not care much.
As an ambassador, Perot, is obviously not very comfortable.The last time I swore that I would bring a new trade contract, the result was the black hand of the elk family.Now he had come, and it was the same bad news—whether it was the news of Wimbledon III’s death or the new king’s recall order, Pero believed that the four princes did not want to see either.
The voyage was smooth, and the Grey Fort was a country on the south side of the continent, and even in winter the river did not freeze.
From time to time, Perot visited the riverbank through the window, and on the way, he saw neither the hunger nor the fleeing people, which showed that the border town had not yet been lost.
This surprised him a little, after all, the last time he visited the city wall, he saw how the other side built the wall, and Pero really did not have much confidence in these stone walls that were tummy.
Then something even more surprising happened to him, and a sailing boat with the flag of the town of Willow slowly sailed through the right side of the river - this scene seemed familiar, but now it is the month of the devil!Do they still have free time to do business when they fight evil beasts?How can you resist the brutal monsters without bringing all the miners to the defensive line!
Three days later, the ship arrived at the border town pier.
It is still the dilapidated wooden dock, but there are many simple wooden sheds on the dock.After the ship came ashore, two guards came out of the wooden shed and stared at the boatmen's every move.
Perot immediately understood Roland's intention for the guardship here.
The four princes apparently did not want anyone to sneak out of town by water.
He jumped out of the boat and, after identifying himself to the guards, a man brought the horse and accompanied him to the castle.
Like the last procedure, Prince Roland Wimbledon met him in the drawing-room.Not only that, although it was not at the time of the meal, the prince still ordered the valet to put on a rich set of meals.
Carbon-roasted pork legs, dried fish slices, a pot of cold vegetables that can't be named, and butter bread and vegetable soup that can be seen at any banquet.
It seems that the prince likes to eat first and then talk about things.
Perot thought so, but his hands did not stop for a moment, after all, there was not much chance of a full meal.Even in the honeysuckle family, when there is no banquet for guests, eating is basically a kind of potato bread with bacon.
After the meal, waiting for the dessert to come up, Peerobi respectfully handed the instrument.
Roland took over, the dining knife cut open the wax, pulled out the paper roll and glanced at it for a few quick glances, and then froze.
The king is dead?
For this nominal father, Roland has no feelings, he has crossed over to the border town, not even seen, not to mention the four princes only in the memory of his father's complaints and dissatisfaction.Because of this, he felt that he was in an inexplicable embarrassment - should he show sadness?
And the content below made him smell a little bit of conspiracy.Wimbledon III died in the murder of his eldest son.The two princes, in their new capacity as the new king, announced the end of the dispute and ordered themselves to return to the castle of the gray castle from now on.
Roland coughed twice, looked up, and saw Perot’s apologetic look.
It turned out, he thought, that the Duke of the fortress was afraid to see it, and that he was in a dilemma for himself, whether he obeyed or not obeyed the new king's orders.
There is no contract, but it brings bad news like a life-threatening, and he is afraid that he will not be satisfied.Roland smiled at himself and rewrote the paperwork. "I know."
“Your Highness, you are going to...”
“Even if I want to go, I have to wait until the end of the demonic month.”Now it's ice and snow, and if I'm gone, what about the people of the border town?"
If it is someone else, Perme is sure to say, “Don’t worry, the fortress will help you deal with it properly,” or other diplomatic affairs.But in the presence of the four princes, whom he had only seen twice, he could not speak easily.For the first time, Perot was disgusted by his ambassador’s identity, and eventually he just nodded, “I understand, do I need to send a reply to you?”
Roland asked the waiter to send pen and paper, and soon wrote a reply, with his own seal on the sealing wax, to Pero.The latter scanned the envelope, and the cover clearly marked to the Grey Fort II Prince Tifeko Wimbledon, not King Wimbledon IV.
He had already made his attitude clear, Pero thought.
