Chapter 240: Subtlety (2)
After the victory of the counterinsurgency war, Lord Odo thought that there were more opportunities, but the number of people who received the reward far exceeded his imagination, and he was only one of them.
......
In the throne room, King Ronnie Sheen sat on the throne, accompanied by Queen Mother Ini Randall.
Captain Knapp stood guard at the bottom of the throne, flanked by the king's important ministers, former Prime Minister McCrandell, treasurer Glenamsi, intelligence director Varian Oyizi, the king's scholar Stanika Sadin, and many nobles and knights.
The governor's voice rang out: "On behalf of King Dubrovnik, Guardian of Dubrovnik's domain, His Majesty Ronnie Sheehan of the Sheehan and Randall families, His Majesty's Mother, Queen Innie Randall of the Randall family......"
"Greetings to Lord Odo, Lord Cassadine, Knight Enod, and all the brave knights who have returned victoriously!"
The Kingsguard all gathered in the hall, and Lord Odo, Lord Cassadine, Knight Enod, and representatives of the elite knights also entered the throne hall one after another.
They are now about to be divided and rewarded by King Ronision, and it is a glorious moment.
King Ronnihon was a little nervous, but still smiling, and seemed to be submissive and kind, and he spoke: "It is the king's duty to fight the rebellion, to return home with great victory, to reward the loyal and to praise the warriors, and I command you to read my grace to the king's scholar Stanika Sadin!" ”
Stanika Sadine, the King's Scholar, stood up, his face old but refreshed, pulled a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve, unfolded it, and began to read King Ronnih's grace.
He read: "In order to eliminate the traitor Jochris, and to eradicate the army of the Chriss, in accordance with the plan of the former Prime Minister McCrandell, with Lord Odo, Lord Cassadine, Lord Oyzi's family army, and the royal fleet as the main forces, launched a large-scale counterinsurgency war against the rebels of Jochris, and achieved outstanding and brilliant achievements, in accordance with the wishes of His Majesty the King, rewarded meritorious people, fiefs and rewards!" ”
Before the King's scholar Stanika Sadin could finish his words, he heard someone outside the door interrupting Stanika Sadine's words, "The royal family...... George and Clay, the captain of the royal fleet...... Prince Cresion has come to see you! ”
"Prince Kreshien? What's going on? Many nobles for unknown reasons showed suspicious looks, could it be that George, the captain of the royal fleet, actually captured the traitor Kreseen alive and escorted him here? But why is he called Prince Creshien again?
In fact, the captain of the royal fleet had already informed the important ministers and the king that Prince Kresian was bewitched by the black magic of the Jochris's camp, and at this time, he was taking advantage of the opportunity to give Kresian a chance to reappear.
There was silence in the throne hall for a long time, and the voice of the steward sounded again, "The king agrees, and the captain of the royal fleet, George and Cressin, meet you!" ”
I saw that George and Prince Creshien, the captains of the royal fleet, had already changed into gorgeous clothes and were all bright, and they walked into the throne hall to attract everyone's attention.
King Ronnie Hion said slowly, "King Scholar Stanika Sadine, I command you to read the verdict against Prince Kreshion first!" ”
The King's Scholar Stanika Sadine nodded, and then declared, "The King's grace, the gods can be learned, for Prince Cresion's rebellion to assist Jochris's rebels, it has been found that it is really a black magic bewitchment, Jocrith has used black magic to bewitch Prince Cressien and incite Prince Cressien's rebellion when he was in the palace of Dubrovnik, fortunately, in the counterinsurgency war, George the captain of the royal fleet rescued Prince Cressin, and helped him escape from the dark magic of Jocris's camp and return to Dubrovnik. ”
"After the deliberation of the important ministers, the king agreed, that the rebellion of Prince Krésion had taken place, and it was irreparable, causing a very bad effect, and damaging the majesty of the royal family, and accordingly depriving Prince Krésian of all his fiefdoms, but remembering his past merits, and being framed by the black magic of Jochris, he retained his status as a nobleman, the title of prince, the position of an important minister, and the right of free access to the palace of Dubrovnik, and expected him to be loyal to the king, to the country, and to Dubrovnik forever!"
"Thank you, King Ronnihon !
The gods are above, and Prince Cresion has regained his footing at this time, and the king in front of him is indeed not qualified to be a king, but he can only thank him now, and thank him from the bottom of his heart.
Is it God's will for those who can become kings, or is it just a joke by God?
Prince Cresion involuntarily glanced at the former Prime Minister McClendell, who had actually lost to him......
Twice!
The steward continued, "After the deliberation of the important ministers and the consent of the king, the elite knights led by the Oyiqi family were brave and fearless, killed the rebel leader Jochris, the female swordsman Britney, and many elite knights died bravely, posthumously awarded the title of honorary lord of Britney Knight Dubrovnik, and rewarded the Oyiqi family with a large number of fiefs, and awarded the royal family the honorary sword!" ”
"After the deliberation of the important ministers, the king agreed, the Otto family, the family army led by the Cassadine family, brave and fearless, confronted the main force of the Jocris camp head-on, rewarded the Otto family, and the Cassadine family had a large number of fiefs, and awarded the royal family the sword of honor!"
"After the discussion of the important ministers and the consent of the king, the captain of the royal fleet, George, led the royal fleet to defeat the rebels near the coast of Jochris's territory and in the Adriatic Sea, rescued Prince Creshien, rewarded the captain of the royal fleet George with a large number of fiefs, and awarded the royal family the sword of honor!"
"After the deliberation of the important ministers and the consent of the king, the Einod Knight led the special task force to kill the dark magic knights of the Jocrith camp and the rebel knights who were bewitched by the dark magic, completely ending the threat of the Jocrith camp, rewarding the Enod knights with a large number of fiefs and awarding the royal family the sword of honor! Awarded the title of Honorary Knight! ”
"In addition, all those who participated in the counterinsurgency war and made meritorious contributions will be rewarded one after another after the counterinsurgency war is officially over!"
Lord Odo, Lord Cassadine, Lord Oyzi, Knight Enod, Captain George of the Royal Fleet, and others thanked each other and accepted the reward, and then retreated to the sides of the throne room.
The warm and encouraging atmosphere continued, it was a moment of great glory and a moment that every knight, nobleman, and lord longed for all his life.
......
The grand gala dinner at the Royal Palace in Dubrovnik is about to begin......
At the dinner, the palace attendants were pouring wine non-stop, and the glass of the dinner never dried up.
The Kingsguard escorted Ronnie Sheen and Queen Enie Randall to the podium, a row of long flags hung in front of them, and when the King and Queen Mother were seated, the Euriana Pope of the Church led the pre-dinner prayers.
The Knight of Enod sat on MacRandell's right, next to Lord Cassadine and his wife, two or three seats between him and Queen Mother Enni Randall.
"Fill your glass!" After the prayer was recited, King Ronnie Heeon followed Inni Randall's suggestion and proclaimed, and his sommelier hurriedly stepped forward to pour a whole pot of fruit wine into the golden cup, and the king held it in both hands, "To the whole of Dubrovnik!!" We've won a big battle! ”
"Long live Dubrovnik!" The whole hall chanted in response, "Long live King Ronnihion!" Banzai! Hundreds of glasses rang at the same time, announcing the opening of the celebratory dinner, and McClandell and Knight Enold toasted the first glass, and when they sat down, they were refilled.
The soup of mushrooms and bison stewed in gilded bowls, the musician's fingers brushing the strings of the harp, the room of the throne filled with sweet melodies, and then the dishes were served faster and more varied, and McCrandell asked for ale and cider, and freshly baked fish cakes, which were hot to the mouth, and a singer appeared next, singing the praises of the great deeds of kings, important ministers, and lords.
As Inod tasted the wines and looked at the luxurious scenes around him, a trace of uneasiness appeared in his heart.
That's right, it's this unstable mood that makes it seem like something big is going to happen every time there is a dinner at the Dubrovnik Palace......
It's like a convention, in the last dinner King Robert Sheehan was poisoned by a mysterious person, McCrandell was accused and framed by Enni Randall, the Knight of Enod never believed that McCrandell would kill Robert Sheehan's king like this, and the person behind such an event was neither Innie Randall, nor the lords and knights, and perhaps not the other team.
Who is this person? And what was his purpose in killing Robert Sheehan?
Enod re-brushed his thoughts as he ate, and if he wanted to know a person's motivations, he had to know what that person would gain by doing something.
After the death of King Robert Sheehan, it was logical that Ronnie Sheehan would succeed him, so it seems that King Rohnie Sheehan was the biggest beneficiary of this incident......
No, Ronnie Sheehan is too young, how could he be well-behaved and kind to plan such a thing? Moreover, now Ronnie Sheen only has the name of the king, and has no real power of the king, and the power to issue the king's edicts is in the hands of the former prime minister McClandall, the Queen Mother Inor Randall and various important ministers.
Dubrovnik's absolute rights can only be granted to Ronnie Sheen after he marries a wife and has children, or when the official crown gradually establishes prestige.
But now he is more like a pawn at the mercy of others, compared to Robert Sheehan, Ronnie Sheehan is obviously more likeable, no one doesn't like an obedient and troublesome king, he will survive......
At least until he takes full control of Dubrovnik, King Ronision will be protected by the majority of the people.
After removing King Ronnie Sheehan, the biggest beneficiary is the Cassadine family, the Cassadine family and Ronnie Sheen have a marriage contract first, and Robert Sheehan's death, Ronnie Sheehan's succession, make the Cassadine family the hottest family, as long as the Cassadine family and King Ronny Sheen marriage is not accidental, the Cassadine family will soon replace the status of the Otto family, even comparable to the Randall family.
After that, Ronnie Sheehan will be king, and the Cassadine family will be queen, and they will jointly rule the new Dubrovnik.
But despite this, Knight Enod does not think that the Cassadine family is the root of all this behind the scenes, the marriage contract is McCrandell's plan to win over the Cassadine family, the Cassadine family just weighed the pros and cons and made the right choice, they have no extra time to plan to poison King Robert Sheehan, let alone do it at the dinner party, expose themselves, and arouse the suspicion of others.
Although the Cassadines had motives, they had no reason and would not have acted in this way......
Next is Innie Randall, although this woman is full of power lust, scheming and trickery, but when she encounters such a thing as the death of her own son, it is reasonable to lose her mind, she hates McLandall in her heart, and his son Robert Sheehan inherited her will, so Robert Sheehan once humiliated McCrandell at the dinner party, and she also judged that McCrandell's assassination of King Robert Sheehan was a revenge based on her instincts!
But Knight Enod knew very well that McLandall was framed, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and Enni Randall and Robert Sheehan became the tools of the frame-up.
The only thing that is certain is that that person exists in the Dubrovnik Palace, even around him, or the Knight Enod has seen him countless times, except for the people of the other teams, all the unusual movements and events in the Dubrovnik Palace are basically caused by him, how many things are he still planning behind the scenes?
From the bottom of his heart, Knight Enod doesn't think that the people of other teams have such ability, they have only been in this world for a while, they can be familiar with the civilization here, stand firm in the complex situation, and live to the game is not easy now, but that person gives him the feeling that he has been planning and preparing for a long time.
What could be the reason for hiding for so long?
His goal may be to become the only king of Dubrovnik!
This time the dinner was indeed very well prepared, and the elite guards around the party had already carefully checked the belongings carried by the participants in the banquet, and even the kitchen or inconspicuous corners were checked several times by them, in order to avoid the recurrence of the previous tragedy.
But the feeling of uneasiness did not diminish with these perfect preparations, and Knight Enod knew very well in his heart that if the people they were hiding in the shadows wanted to make a move, these inspections alone would not stop them, and he was sure that an unprecedented drama would happen next, but he still couldn't guess what kind of appearance these would take......
King Ronnie Heen praised the intelligence and loyalty of his ministers, the bravery and courage of his knights and lords, and the nobles and ladies around him echoed and agreed.
The minstrours continued to sit around the dinner party, letting the beautiful music play and flow through the palace.
At the same time, more sumptuous and delicious dishes were successively served on the delicate and luxurious table, such as vegetable venison soup, beets with fruit fragments, fruits in shape, honey onions boiled in lean meat of animals, fish caught in the Adriatic Sea and roasted to the aroma of the fish, sprinkled with unknown powder, and even more tender and tempting.
