"She's fine, she spent some time on the Sleepy Isle of Fiordland, and now she's back in Neverwinter again," Hill said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Quinn is very close to Her Majesty's sister, Her Highness Tilly, and Your Majesty will naturally not treat her badly." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After some trivial conversations, Otto learns from the other party that Andrea likes to play cards, and her marksmanship has improved a lot, and occasionally fights with another card friend, but in general they get along very well.

The news made him almost forget the passage of time.

Until an incongruous quarrel came from outside the house.

"What's going on?" Hill stopped talking, walked briskly to the door, and glanced out through the crack, "Something seems to be wrong on the first floor. ”

"I ask," Otto motioned for him to sit down first, and then shouted out the door, "who's making noise down there, go see what's going on!"

"Yes, my lord," replied the maid, who had been guarding the door.

"Maybe someone has drunk too much," he said, tucking the blanket around him, "It's not a common thing, but as long as it's a tavern, it's inevitable." You said Miss Quinn was involved in the Neverwinter Hunting Tournament, so what about the result?"

Hill didn't answer, just made a silent gesture and rested his head lightly against the door.

After a few breaths, his expression suddenly sank.

"The people below are not only wearing armor, but also holding weapons. ”

"What?" Otto was stunned.

"I hear the sound of iron boots and sword hilts colliding with the floor, tables and chairs, will anyone wear their full gear while drinking?" Hill didn't wait any longer for the maid's return, but went straight to the soft collapse, "The drunkard doesn't have a penchant for playing knight, trouble has come to the door." ”

"This ...... How could it be?" Otto frowned, "Believe me, I definitely didn't-"

"Of course, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be here looking for you," Hill interrupted.

"That'...... Let's meet again next time, you go first, if they do come to you, I'll help you stop it. He felt very sorry in his heart, after this farewell, he didn't know when he would hear from Andrea again next time.

"Aren't you coming with me?" the other party was slightly surprised, "Those people don't have good intentions, it's better for you to return to the territory first." ”

"Don't worry, I'm the eldest son of the Rossi family, and they can't do anything to me," Otto shook his head, not to mention rescuing the witch and secretly contacting Roland's secret agent, he hid it from his father, if the troublemakers really came at the members of the ambassador group, wouldn't it be extra strange to leave by himself? "And although no one knows about this secret passage, it is not difficult to search, and when they see that the house is empty, they will inevitably be suspicious. With me staying here, you can evacuate more safely. ”

"Well, good luck. Ciel's continued efforts as he let go of his hands and slid into the secret passage.

Otto arranged the sheets and bedding for him, and lay down on the soft floor again.

In a few moments, there was the sound of solid footsteps at the top of the staircase, mixed with the sound of metal grinding, and the maid who had gone to inquire about the situation never reappeared.

There was neither knocking nor questioning, and the door was smashed open.

A group of heavily armed knights squeezed into the room.

"What do you mean!" said Otto, furiously, "this is the territory of Count Lossy, do you want to rebel!" He was about to prop himself up and drive the group of impudent people out of the tavern, but the other party swarmed him and pressed him to the limp.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sir, but it's not us who want to rebel, it's you. The knight shrugged. Although they wore gold-painted armor and wore the insignia of the Royal Knights on their chests, Otto discovered that the group were all unfamiliar faces.

Hell, where did they all come from?

"Let go of me!" he twisted, "You're slander!"

"Tell your Majesty Ampein this," the knight was unmoved, "you have betrayed his trust, my lord. ”

Hearing Ampein Moya's name, Otto's chest suddenly went cold.

......

When he saw His Majesty again, it was two days later.

"I heard that you haven't eaten for the past two days, and you've been clamoring to see me?" Ampein was still the slightly tired face, and after a short time, the new king's eyebrows seemed to have matured a lot, and his eyes flashed with a look that he was no longer familiar with, "Now that your requirements have been met, can you eat well?"

"Where is this?" asked Otto, clutching the iron railing, despite his aching and hoarse voice, "why did you do this?

"Don't you like this room?" Ampein looked around, "the furnishings here are entirely according to the standards of the Duke's Palace, although it is a little smaller, it has all the beds, tables, chairs, and bookcases, and it should be very comfortable to live in." He paused, "As for what it is...... Of course, it's under the palace, and I can only relax if I lock you up here. ”

Otto gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I want to have a good talk with you, but I don't-"

"Betraying me?" interrupted the Lord of Dawn, "Do you think I'll still believe these lies and continue to be deceived by you?" It took me two months to find some clues about witches, but I didn't expect you to be involved - entrusting Yoko, the ambassador of the Grey Keep, to go to the "Black Money" to participate in the auction, and helping him leave Glowlight City after the incident, if this is not a betrayal, what is there such a betrayal?" his voice grew louder and louder, obviously not wanting to suppress his anger any longer," Didn't you hear how the King of the Grey Keep broke his covenant and trampled my father's heart to the ground that day?"

"I ......"

"Do you want to talk to me about the traitors, or the witches who deserve to go to hell?" Ampein's voice was filled with hatred, "Enough, Otto Lossy! If you weren't my childhood friend, the eldest son of the three families, you would have been sent to the gallows a long time ago! I still need the strength of the three families, it doesn't mean that I will always need you, this is my last chance for you, don't force me to take that step again!"

These words made Otto fall into an ice cave, he had never seen his playmate show such a hideous face. Thinking of those "royal knights" he had never seen, he suddenly understood something.

I am afraid that after the death of the old king, they have lost the trust of the new king when they have nothing to do.

"By the way, didn't you ask what happened to your father?" said Ampein in a cold voice as he was leaving, "he has nothing to do, and he is still present at the court today—as long as you eat all the food you have brought you honestly, Count Lossy will still be a good nobleman loyal to the royal family." So stop doing this stupid thing like hunger strike, it's good for both of us. If you don't come to your senses, I'll have to resort to some coercive means. ”
