Chapter 566: Covenant and Mission
Otto Losi returned home and shut himself in his study. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't understand why things were the way they were.
Ever since the king fell ill, Ampein seemed to have been devastated, and had recently recovered a little, but he had not acted and spoken the same way as before.
To be precise, he became a stranger.
As a friend who grew up playing, Otto thought he knew the prince very well, and Ampein was not the kind of person who would do anything for power, and sometimes he even felt that the other party was a little childish and unsuitable to be a king who ruled the overall situation. Because of this, he planned to wait for Ampein to be crowned queen, and to do his best with Belinda and Oro to assist his friends in the administration of government - the three families have always followed the king, and this has been the case since the beginning of Dawn's establishment.
So he answered yes without hesitation.
But Otto found that Ampein didn't care about his answer.
The other party just asked out of a habit of uneasiness.
And I didn't think about this myself - the three families were indeed willing to support the Moya royal family, but what if His Highness didn't need their support?
Now that he realized this, he felt that Ampein was getting farther and farther away from him.
Otto sighed, maybe he should do something about it.
But how?
His Majesty's illness is helpless for both pharmacists and alchemists, and he knows nothing about curing diseases, so he can't fundamentally solve Ampein's heart disease.
Persuade the prince to cheer up?
He has done enough of this kind of thing, but it has proved to be useless, probably on his own, there is no way to pull His Highness back to his side.
The three must join forces, and only by working together may they be able to find out why Ampein did this.
Thinking of this, he jerked himself up and walked out.
"Young Master, it's getting late, where are you going?" asked the butler as he passed the hall.
"Tokat family, don't come back tonight!"
......
Familiar with the road to the Tokat family's territory, because the two are extremely familiar, the huge Earl's Court has no one to stop him, Otto went straight into the martial arts training hall, and sure enough, he found Oro Tokat who was training with his attendants.
"Yo, why are you here," Oro took off his sweaty turban and tossed the wooden sword to the attendant, "he wanted to have fun but didn't dare to enter the door, so he decided to drag me into the water?"
"I have something to tell you. β
He dragged Oro to the next room and recounted his thoughts and intentions, "What do you think?"
"Find out why Ampein became stranger?" the latter pouted, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested. β
"Hey, you-"
"He's a prince, he's the heir of the Dawn Kingdom, and won't always be our friend, do you understand?" Oro shook his head, "And Ampein is also twenty years old, not a seven or eight-year-old child, and if he makes a fuss, we have to go up and coax him? β
"Aren't you going to assist Ampain Moya?"
"Your Highness needs our words to be called assistants, and if you don't need them, it's called self-deprecation. β
Did he see this, too? Otto thought to himself, "But the three of us have always followed Moyaβ"
"Three?" Oro smiled disapprovingly, "Since Andrea's death, only you and I have been left. He turned around, waved his hand and walked out, "Since you're here, I'll take you to the Crimson Dream, otherwise I'll always worry about this and that, I'll feel tired when I look at it, and it'll be fine if I vent my energy." β
"Andrea is not dead. β
Oro's footsteps stopped instantly.
I'm sorry, Otto whispered in his heart, saying that he would keep this secret, but I failed to keep the promise.
"Andrea Quinn is not dead," he repeated, "I met her in the frontier town of Grey Keep. β
Oro spun around in an instant and rushed in front of him, almost pressing him against the wall with such force that he could not be pressed against the wall.
"What are you talking about? This, this is true?"
"I saw with my own eyes that she was with Her Highness Roland Wimbledon. β
"Together......" Oro's eyes widened, "you mean the kind of being together between men and women?"
"I don't know," Otto bit his lip, "but she's become a witch, and in the entire Grey Keep, only His Highness Roland is willing to take in a witch." β
"Wait, witch?" he wondered, "what happened?"
Otto Lossy slowly told Andrea's experience, looking at the other party's mixed expressions, he faintly felt a hint of revenge in his heart. Who made you immediately believe in the Quinn family's cliff theory, and now know that it is too late for her to die, she will not be with me, and she will not be with you.
"It turns out that her father's purpose in causing the cliff fall accident is this......" Oro sat on the ground with a face full of frustration, "Damn, why didn't I even think to dig up the grave and take a closer look?"
This guy ...... It's too much!" "Ahem, that's why we need to bring His Highness back even more." β
The other rolled his eyes, "Huh, what does the two have to do with each other?"
"Of course! If you think about it, his shelving of the alliance between the two countries and his unwillingness to give reasons will only lead to the failure of His Majesty's plan to join forces and fight together. If the Church attacks, we'll be left alone - if they attack Dawn first, you'll lead the Knights into battle, right?" Otto asked.
"Of course, it's my duty. β
"And then you were defeated and died, won't you see Andrea?"
"Well, it seems to make some senseβno, why do you think I'm going to lose?" Oro exclaimed, unconvinced.
"Even the fierce and tough Wolf Tooth Kingdom has not been able to save the defeat, how powerful can you be," he ignored his friend's protests, and continued, "In turn, the Church will attack the Grey Keep first, and Roland will always face the invaders, right? If he dies, Andrea will also die by his side, and if he is caught by the Church, the end will only be worse." But if the two countries can be horns for each other, so that the church does not dare to move, you don't have to die on the battlefield, and there is a chance to meet again in the future, do you say that the covenant is important?"
β...... Significant. β
"If you don't pull His Highness back, there will be no covenant, do you think the two have anything to do now?"
"There is a relationship. β
"Then why don't you do it?"
Oro said categorically, "It's done!"
The two hands were clasped together.
Joko dragged his tired but comfortable body back to his accommodation, and as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he heard a voice say, "I'm finally waiting for you to come back." β
He was startled, who would sneak into the room to guard him when he first arrived? Could it be Denise's husband? Before he could make up his mind whether to run away or beg for mercy, the other party had already lit the candle. In the firelight, he realized that the speaker was none other than Hill Fox.
"You almost scared me to death, you know?" Joko sighed, "Is there anything we can't wait until tomorrow?"
"No one will notice that I've been here at night," Hill said, spreading his hands, "I'm used to it, and I ask for your understanding." β
"It doesn't matter. Although the other party is a personal guard, after all, it was assigned to him by His Majesty Roland, and he can't be treated as an ordinary attendant, "Since you're here, you can say it." β
"Now that there is a large influx of wolf-hearted refugees into Dawn, it is a good opportunity to recruit. You can think of it as a business, buying mainly craftsmen, literate people, and people with special skills, all of which are paid for by your majesty, and you will be paid five silver wolves for each person you recruit. β
"Please, I'm not going to do business! Small talk with Denise is just to seduce her, you don't really plan to let me go to human trafficking, do you?" Joko said, "And the slave trade mainly takes place on the border between the two countries, and as an ambassador, it is not convenient for me to go there at all!"
"That's what Your Majesty meant," Hill said unhurriedly, "You don't need to leave Glowlight City, the merchants will always resell their slaves, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher, and you don't have to go through the hassle of sifting." As for not being able to do business...... You can ask Denise Payton for help, she is a well-known aristocratic merchant here, and it will not be difficult for her to transport refugees to the Grey Castle. Once a transport line is established, it also has many advantages for us, for example, in case of danger, we can always disguise ourselves as traders and evacuate, which is both hidden and safe. β
Yoko's mouth opened wide, "You've been to the Dawn King's Capital?"
Hill shook his head.
"And how do you know so well?"
"Just as you were out to 'expand your relationship,' I inquired about it from the street. β
"I thought you were a knight who could fight, but I didn't expect you to be a good merchant," Joko admired.
"I am not a samurai, nor am I a merchant, but I am able to keep you safe in times of crisis, and this is also the mission entrusted to me by His Majesty. β
"Then you are ......"
"An ordinary ...... Acrobats only," Hill laughed.
