Chapter 224 King Power
"This is a blasphemy against the royal family!" Pollan sneered, and immediately, the general, who didn't seem to want to go back after leaving the front line, knelt down on one knee to the king, "I am willing to deal with these two mobs who spread rumors on behalf of your majesty." .”
Of course, his handling method will be quite rough.
"Sinners should be handed over to the church for trial." The Archbishop of Canterbury also answered with a smile, his golden eyes were completely cold, "If you don't punish severely this time, maybe there will be people who deliberately spread rumors in the future."
What he said made sense, and all the ministers agreed with him. His Majesty the King has always given them a sense of panic. In the past two years, they have become more and more free-spirited. End of the World", there is really no place to cry!
As the head of the nobles, Cedric didn't come forward to say anything this time, and he didn't need to hurry up to show courteousness at this time. He believed that the king had already made up his mind.It was early for him to investigate this matter, so during the investigation process, he came into contact with an intelligence dealer who was well-known in the capital. According to his inference, the other party should be working for the king.
The intelligence dealer had already explained the cause and effect of the matter, and it is estimated that the king had a better understanding of the whole matter earlier than them, so he obviously already had a solution.
"The loss of reputation is irreparable, and I will not be merciful this time." Arthur sat up a little bit, looked down at the strange mother and child, and after a while, suddenly smiled.
"Pollen, I leave it to you."
Pollan was obviously very happy. His Majesty, who cared about him, valued him, which was the highest praise for him. What's more, the archbishop's face at this time was really... Tsk tsk, that pretty face made him want to take a second look.
The mother and son were dragged down, Arthur didn't bother to look at this kind of person who did anything for money and power, he didn't really care about his reputation, if he really cared, he wouldn't let Pollan deal with these two things People, because Pollan's methods have always been very brutal.
"The matter has been settled, let's go." Arthur tidied up his sleeves lazily, and stood up.Not long after Pollan was happy, he heard the king call the name of the head of Will's family——
"Cedric, come here."
Cedric was a little flattered. His recent sense of presence is really weak. He is not entrusted with important tasks like Courtney, and he does not frequent the court like the archbishop. Even the illegitimate child incident was handed over to the general, which made him There is a sense of crisis.
Fortunately, His Majesty still remembered him.
"Sit whatever you want." As soon as Arthur arrived in the garden, he sat on the deck chair as usual, with the black dragon entrenched beside him, never leaving him.Cedric looked at the black dragon for a while, then collected himself and saluted the king.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Arthur was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "The members of the kingdom, have you been in touch?"
This question can be said to be quite dangerous. If Cedric said no, the king would definitely be very disappointed. If he said yes, he would be suspected of forming a party for personal gain... However, after hesitating for a moment, Cedric sighed and admitted it .
"Yes, I have contacts with most MPs."
Arthur's eyes suddenly softened. Compared with the other three who were not worried, Cedric had always been very well-behaved and almost never directly resisted him.He still remembers the Cerberus banner flying in the hot wind of the battlefield, and the eyes full of vengeance under the banner.
"It's much more convenient." Arthur seemed in a good mood, and didn't care about Cedric's suspected clique for personal gain. The Will family was always loyal, so why should he be a thankless and suspicious monarch?
Cedric was at a loss. He tried desperately to figure out the deep meaning of the king's words, but failed, because Arthur didn't have any deep meaning.
The king approached his trusted minister—"Do you think... I am suitable to be a member of parliament?"
The little king is a moth again!
Cedric looked melancholy at the little king sitting opposite him, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
He felt that he was so wronged that he was about to cry. He was obviously not a sycophant who deceived the king, but the little king only acted as a demon after talking to him.
Although his heart was not very peaceful, Cedric could still keep his face expressionless. He looked at Arthur expressionlessly, but Arthur could clearly feel the resentment from the other party.He was a little guilty, but only a little bit, he came here specially to "experience life", and the main target was the mysterious person who appeared in the second reincarnation.
The villain in the bottle didn't wake up at that time, so he felt a faint magical atmosphere, so Arthur ran in the opposite direction. At that time, he didn't dare to bet and couldn't bet.
Although he died in the end_(:3ゝ∠)_
Thinking about it now, the mysterious man probably wanted to tell him something. The whole kidnapping incident was full of weirdness. He shouldn't have doubted Cedric's loyalty. Maybe he had some difficulties...
Arthur thought of Pollan, and his eyes sank slightly.After experiencing the reincarnation of Pollan raising the anti-flag, Arthur felt more and more that in the second reincarnation, he was so stupid that he would believe that a ferocious beast with fangs was harmless, just because of that subtle favor.
"Cedric." Arthur leaned his head on the table, and asked casually as if bringing up a boring topic: "If Pollan betrayed me, and I didn't notice it, what would you do?"
"This..." Cedric didn't expect Arthur to ask such a question. The little king really likes this kind of dilemma. Every time he answers, he trembles, parentheses in his heart.
On the surface, the head of Will's family was only stunned for a short while. He had many eloquent words that he could say without getting angry, but when he saw the king's beautiful purple eyes, he suddenly didn't want to use those words.
Because using it at this time, he felt it was an insult to the little king.
"...I will take you away." The nobleman said softly, his eyes shone with an inexplicable light, as fine as stars, "You must not do anything."
Arthur has straightened up, looking at the nobleman quietly.The devil said that Cedric was a loyal little wolf dog. He thought that such a comparison seemed a bit exaggerated, but at this moment, the gentle and pious eyes of the other party really reminded him of this.
"Maybe you will misunderstand me because of this." Cedric smiled softly, "It doesn't matter, you won't know how important you are to me. When my father first brought me into the court, I think When I got to you, I knew you would be the king I will always serve."
"When you gave me the sword, I was thinking, ah, such a person..." He paused, and lightly stroked his right shoulder. There seemed to be an invisible brand left on the spot where the knight's sword touched , allowing him to continue to experience that scorching heat for many years to come.
"Such a person will be linked with my life."
Arthur looked at him quietly, but Cedric was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head in embarrassment, and his cheeks were still slightly flushed.
Arthur laughed suddenly. His appearance was already very good. When he laughed without any suspicion, his unpredictable purple eyes narrowed slightly, which gave him a little more clarity.While laughing, Arthur observed Cedric's expression, and sure enough, the other party was even more embarrassed.
"Should I say thanks for your love?" Arthur raised his voice, still with a smile in his tone.Cedric was keenly aware that the sense of distance from the king completely dissipated at this moment, and he really opened his heart and accepted himself.
"It's not without purpose to toss and leave the palace again this time." After letting go of his guard, Arthur was happy to confess some of his plans, "These councilors are so cohesive, I suspect there is someone behind them."
This is just an explanation to Cedric. In fact, Arthur deduced this conclusion based on the information of several reincarnations.He asked whether the relationship between Cedric and the MP was close, in fact to confirm this conclusion.
In the second round, Pollan conspired against the law, and Arthur never suspected Pollan. In desperation, Cedric would transfer Arthur first as he said, to ensure his safety.But at that time, most of the princes and ministers were probably instigated by demons who were good at demagogy. Cedric had limited power and could only ask the parliament for help.
Arthur’s country is still a political system with a highly developed monarchy, but the parliament still exists. They are composed of all social classes. They put forward some beneficial proposals through the meeting, and then the king decides whether to implement them. It can be regarded as reflecting the voice of the people to a certain extent. .
And such a loose group composed of no stakeholders is very centripetal without a leader, so Arthur has to suspect that there is a hidden existence behind the parliament.He left the palace this time because he planned to infiltrate among the councilors to see if he could get close to the person behind the scenes.
As for what to do after finding that person, Arthur said that he was a little concerned about the magical breath on the other person.
Cedric finally understood the king's purpose, and it was really the style of the little king, who likes to do important things by himself.Following the king's train of thought, he also felt that something was wrong with the councilors, as if they were a mysterious association, and they couldn't be ignored.
"So, what would you like me to do?"
"It's simple, put a senator's sack on me and lock him up." Arthur said very easily, "Ms. Linna gave me some potions, and I can become the other party."
In fact, the potion was obviously made by Arthur himself. After discussing with Mrs. Linna before, Arthur hid his ability to make potions. As the last card, Mrs. Lina also agreed to help him take the blame.So much so that when they heard the potion, everyone reflexively thought of Mrs. Linna, the white mage.
Cedric nodded silently, and began to consider the object of the sack.
