Chapter 114: Controversy
Another day, this one, interrupted his thoughts by the commotion of the streets outside the palace.
McCrandell cautiously peered out of the window, where a large number of civilians had gathered under a square to listen to a priest talking. Judging by his luxurious clothes, his status in the church was not low.
"The darkness in the sky is depravity!" The man screamed, "This is a warning! This is the warning of the gods! He pointed to the dim sunlight in the sky.
From this angle, the sunlight in the distance was right behind him, and it would really set the mood, McLandall thought to himself.
"Our country is becoming filthy and corrupt, the queen mother and the royal guards are fornicating in the king's bed, the illegitimate offspring are doing mischief in the palace, and even become our king, war and strife will soon come, god! This is God's warning to us, how have we ever seen such a dim daylight! Maggots rule the royal palace, and power is everything...... We must all be vigilant about this! All that rots in Dubrovnik is coming to an end, and the palace of cholera will be punished by heaven! We're about to have a real new lease on life! ”
He held out his thin fingers again, and the dim sunlight behind him.
"Behold, that is the foreshadowing of the gods! The gods are crying out for us to complete our self-purification, or else they will completely wipe us out of this world! Either bathe in the light of justice or be burned by the flames of disorder! Burn it all! ”
"Burn it all!" Although a few people chimed in, it was muffled by more ridicule.
McLandall was a little relieved to see these reactions of civilians.
At this time, there was a "knock knock" sound from his door.
After opening the door, McLandall saw the figure of the Queen Mother Inny Randall, and she said sharply, "I summoned you, but you dare not come!" ”
"What's the matter, my good sister." McLandall said, "Actually, I was about to go to you." ”
"Really?"
McCrandell brought Innie Randall in and closed the door, "Why, don't you believe me?" ”
"Of course I don't believe it, and I have good reason."
"Then I'm so sad." McCrandell poured Innie Randall a glass of wine, and he didn't know what could be more dry than talking to Innie Randall, "If I've offended you, I'd like to know why." ”
"Alright, don't pretend to be garlic, you disgusting beast! Ronnie Sheen is my son, the prince of this country, do you really think I'm going to let you trade him as a gift? ”
"How can it be called a gift? In a sense, Ronnie is the second prince, his status is extremely noble, he will have to marry and have children sooner or later, it is better to let this role create value for us now. ”
With a wave of his hand, Eni Randall knocked over the glass in his hand, spilling wine all over the floor.
"Just if you say that, I should have someone to pull your tongue out, whether you're from my Randall family or not! The one who has the power to decide this king is me, not you! And I will never agree to bring Ronnie Sheen to the Cassadine family, just as I was given to Rolls Sheehan! ”
"Isn't this that the Cassadine lord hasn't made a decision yet? Maybe Ronnie Sheen didn't have to take that risk, and he could bluff them with just a marriage contract. ”
"Are you really hopelessly stupid, or are you really mad and have no conscience? You and I both know that the Cassadines don't trust us, and they will definitely want Ronnie Sheen as a bargaining chip in their hands! ”
"Yes, the Cassadine family did not trust us once, even so, I still think that they will agree to Ronnie Sheen's family business, they have no valid reason and do not dare to ask too much for a prince to stay in their family, I have proposed that when the youngest daughter of Lord Cassadine reaches the age of fourteen, the two will be married immediately, and until then, Ronnie Sheen can be a guest of the Cassadine family, of course, only for a short time, and under the protection of our people."
"It's a hostage!" Ini Randall shouted.
"It's a VIP!" McCrandell insisted, "After all, the Cassadine family does not trust us enough, if we send Prince Ronnie to the Cassadine family to show closeness and friendship, I promise that it will only be a few days, I think the Cassadine lord will be better to him than any of us, I intend to arrange for the captain of the Kingsguard Knapp to be his exclusive escort, with the captain of the Kingsguard by his side, I believe that no one dares to have any thoughts about him, the strength of the Knight of Knapp is no worse than that old man of yours." ”
"What if Jocrith and Krysian secretly sent someone to rob Ronnie Sheen from the Cassadine family? Jocris and his two guards wield weapons of dark magic, and Knight Knapp may not be their match. ”
"The Cassadine family is a family that values honor and contract, once they agree to our terms, they will not fall to Jochris's side, especially such an important Prince Ronnie Sheen, as long as we establish a relationship of trust with each other in just a few days, they will definitely trust us to fulfill our promises and increase the protection of our troops, not to mention that our conditions are very generous, and they have no reason to refuse. Prince Ronnie Sheen's marriage contract was just one of them, and I also promised the lord of Cassadine the position of a vassal of the royal palace and a fief in the surrounding area. ”
"That's too much!" Inni Randall paced beside him, looking a little agitated. "Not only did you give too much, but you didn't ask me for my opinion without my consent!"
"We urgently need to win over the Cassadine family, if we give less, I'm afraid he will disdain us and think that we despise their family, and soon fall to Jorcris side, so that our power will be weakened!"
"It's still too much!" Cersei insisted, turning back, a little hesitant.
"If it were you, what would you give? Send yourself over? McLandall was also on fire, and he couldn't get angry.
This time he saw the slap from Inni Randall clearly, and his face was swollen with a snap. "My dear good sister." He said, "I can assure you, this is the last time you'll do it to me!" ”
Innie Randall laughed wildly, "Stinky thing, don't threaten me in Dubrovnik's palace, you think you have everything to do with your father's letter?" But it's just a piece of thin paper, if I want to move you, what can my father who is far away help me? Do you think he's going to turn against me and my palace for the sake of an illegitimate child? ”
McLandall thought to himself at this time, at that time, Jocrishi did not have the support of the Kings Guards, without the support of Lord Randall, there were not enough guards to strength, and I had all three at this time.
At least that's what he hoped in his heart, because it meant he trusted Varian Oyizi, Glenamsi, and the captain of the Castle Guard.
Jocris's probably felt the same way.
But McLandall was completely different from Jocris, he knew Innie Randall's temperament very well, he didn't say anything, and smart people would never add fuel to the fire, so he poured another glass of wine. "Dear good sister, think about it, if the Dubrovnik palace is unfortunately breached, how will Prince Ronnie be safe? By then, I'm afraid that Jocrishi and Kraysion will hang his head with Robert Sheehan and yours! ”
Eni Randall almost burst into tears, but she held back her tears.
McLandall tentatively reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't touch me! I don't care about you! Stinky stuff! She said as she turned away.
