Chapter 1099: A Tempting Offer
Like most slum taverns, it is filled with a pungent sour smell and cheap perfume for women in the special services.
The drunkards, who had little money, were frantically drinking bad liquor with some mess added to their mouths, and some were drunk, and from time to time they were lying in the corner and vomiting, while turning around and talking and laughing unscrupulously with other drunkards.
In the dark corridor, there are even two or three couples of men and women who have negotiated a good price, hugging each other and doing some exercises that are good for their physical and mental health.
It can be said that anyone with a little bit of identity will never allow himself to walk into such a garbage place.
But interestingly, in the place where the dance performance was watched on the second floor of the tavern, there were several guys who were out of tune with their surroundings.
Especially the man with the beard at the head exudes a kind of superior air from top to bottom, so that even the hooligans who like to cause trouble dare not approach easily.
As for the reason, it is very simple, next to him, there is a hand that has been cut off and fallen to the ground, and the blinding red blood lies on the ground.
Based on the amount of bleeding and the medical and health conditions available to the people at the bottom of the world, the chances of survival will never exceed 10 percent.
After carefully observing the men, Kirwin stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "Good evening, dear friend." If I'm not mistaken, you're waiting for someone, aren't you?"
"That's right! We're waiting, and you're waiting. The bearded man lifted his hood slightly, revealing a slightly older but majestic face.
He was none other than King Harrison, known as the Lion of Oros.
I am afraid that the whole continent would not have imagined that a powerful monarch with great prestige and military exploits, who had led his country to expand its territory, would have a private meeting with a notorious tyrant in a slum tavern.
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty, it is a great honour to be recognized by you. In comparison, there are probably not many monarchs in this continent who can be put in your eyes. Kirwyn sat down, picked up his glass, and drank all his wine.
I don't know why, he has obviously received strict etiquette training, but at this moment, he put on a rude appearance, which made a female guard next to him frown.
However, Harrison didn't care about this, and nodded with a smile: "You're right. I am a proud man, but also a stern and demanding king. In my eyes, the mediocre monarchs who inherited the efforts of their fathers to build the country did not deserve to stand with me at all. But you are different, and your surging ambition has surprised and frightened me. In addition to you, the young queen is also a very powerful person, and she can save the country from the brink of destruction. ”
"Are you complimenting me?" said Kirwin, wiping his mouth with his sleeve down, smiling tentatively.
"Compliment? No! I'm just stating a fact. You and she have threatened me, and the threat is not small. Of course, she's a little more threatening than you. After all, the power of that weapon has been proven on the battlefield, and I really can't think of any way to resist such a terrifying thing. I know that you have always been eager to change your humble origins, so I am willing to marry my beloved daughter to you as a wife, and even support your coronation as king. ”
The scheming Harrison set his sights on the young and beautiful women around him, and unhurriedly made the conditions, and the undisguised temptation was revealed between the lines.
In contrast, the young girl with long blond hair and silver armor that was more decorative than practical was pale, and her eyes burst with anger that could consume a person.
She didn't need to ask to know that she didn't get the news in advance, and she didn't know that the purpose of her trip was actually for marriage.
Of course, the most important thing is not the marriage, but the marriage object does not meet the longing for her husband in her heart.
Although Kerrwyn is not ugly, he is not as handsome and good-looking, at most he can only be regarded as a middle and lower level, coupled with his greed, lust, and unscrupulous actions for power, he does not look like a person worthy of entrusting his life.
But it's a pity that as a princess of the royal family, she can't have the right to choose marriage freely, and her only value is to marry someone who has the value of wooing her father when she needs it, and sacrifice her youth and beauty in exchange for an alliance with the other party.
"Are you going to marry the princess to me?!" Kirwin raised his eyebrows in surprise and glanced at the princess, who was a little out of control.
Harrison nodded earnestly and replied unhurriedly, "Yes, as long as you agree to marry my daughter and make the first baby boy an heir, I will fulfill everything I promised." From now on, your country will be closely linked to mine, whether it is blood, politics and military. I'm sure you understand what it means to have my support, right?"
Kirwyn smiled and exclaimed, "How could I not have known! You are the Lion of Oros, who single-handedly defeated the three kingdoms and even defeated them, taking a large amount of land from them, and finally turning them into your vassals." Your political and military achievements are a textbook for kings. I've always worked hard for you, and being able to get your favor is definitely the happiest thing in my life. ”
"Hahahaha! You're very good at talking, so what is your reply?" Harrison's eyes revealed a strong expectation.
It is estimated that in his opinion, the probability of the other party choosing the same is almost 100%, and there is no reason to refuse at all.
"Sorry, my answer is no. Because the terms I promised you seem to be a big advantage on the surface, but in fact you have put your hand inside me. I am a very rights-sensitive person and will never allow anyone to share it. Her Royal Highness may be young and beautiful, exuding a temptation that a man cannot refuse, but the temptation of power is even greater for me. If you die one day, I will be glad to marry your daughter, but as long as you live, I will not marry you, which is the equivalent of holding a dagger to my heart. ”
When he said this, there was not the slightest hesitation or hesitation on Kirwin's face, and at the same time exuded the cruelty and tyranny of a tyrant alone......
