Chapter 918: Deposing the Great Power
Today, six days have passed since the end of the first round of the plenary meeting, and there is no news on when the second round of the plenary meeting will be held.
In the evening, Adam saw off the guests who had visited the mansion, and at the time of parting, he said meaningfully: "Please also tell your lords that although this game has not seen blood, it is no less than war." β
"Those miscreants of Regnom are hesitant, and our royal families must walk together through thick and thin, and must not be provoked to divide. Otherwise, it will be in everyone's interest at the expense. β
The guests greeted Adam with their chins: "Lord Adam, rest assured, the lord has stated many times that the royal family will definitely advance and retreat together." β
Adam nodded: "That's good, hard work, I'll send you here." β
"Farewell, sir." The guests departed.
Adam walked back to the mansion, took off his warm coat after entering the house, moved his stiff shoulders that had been lying on the desk for a long time, and said lightly: "Come on, put hot water, and bring a bottle of wine." β
Strangely, the servants were all standing there like logs, and no one said a word.
Adam frowned: "Deaf? β
The servants still stood motionless, and Adam looked over suspiciously, only to find that they had their heads bowed, and their faces were covered with cold sweat, even though it was already winter.
Before Adam could react, a familiar voice came from the darkness deep in the study: "Lord Adam, I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay?" β
With the fluttering sound of the wick lit, the light of the fire illuminated Chino's face, and he sat unceremoniously at the head of his desk, smiling at Adam.
Adam's face changed for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and asked, "Lord Regent, why don't you say anything when you come to the door."
Sound? Forgive me for not being able to greet him in time. β
"Hmm~ I'm afraid that you will be too excited to welcome me, so I won't say anything." Chino held a bag of candy in his hand, and after eating more than half of it, he shook the remaining candy in the bag, "I'm sorry, I'm addicted to sugar, I saw a bag of unopened candy on the table, so I opened it and ate it without permission, Lord Adam won't blame me, right?" β
Adam scolded in his heart: You eat all the food and ask a ghost.
He coughed lightly and said, "Lord Regent said that you laughed, I'm afraid that you won't look down on what I eat, do you have any official business to come to me?" β
"Please, don't be so serious, I don't like to hear the word "official" when eating candy, it will dilute the deliciousness of candy." Chino lifted the sugar bag in his hand, "You like candy too?" β
Faced with this kind of riddler, Adam was also helpless, so he could only answer: "Yes." β
Chino: "Why?" β
Adam: "It's a pleasure to eat sugar. β
"Very right, very right," said Chino, nodding his head, looking at the servants, with interest, "if I were you, I would hurry up and bring all the sweets in the storehouse now." β
"Because. Lord Adam is going to be sad tonight, and he needs a lot of pleasure to dilute his emotions. β
Chino was originally Adam's father-killer, and he spoke politely to him before only because of his political status, but who knew that he suddenly came uninvited late at night, and at this time he hid a knife in his words, and Adam no longer wanted to pretend to be harmonious.
Adam ordered all the servants to retreat, and his face quickly turned cold: "What the hell do you want to do?" β
β¦
Chino ate candy as he pulled out a document from his bosom and put it on the table.
"Click."
The slender fingers clicked on it, making a crisp sound
Chino: "Sign it." β
Adam looked puzzled and opened the file and browsed.
The nature of the document is not unexpected, more precisely, it is a contract whose content is nothing more than the agreement of the Trojan family to cooperate with the New Deal and agree to sell fiefs to the royal family, the price, the obligations of both parties, the terms of the breach of contract, etc.
Adam looked very impatient after reading it, and walked directly to the fireplace with the papers: "You are wasting my time. β
He was just about to throw the documents in and burn them, when Chino's voice came: "Don't. β
Adam's hand stopped, and he frowned at Chino.
Chino said seriously: "If you like to read literary works, you should know that when the plot reaches a critical juncture, when the protagonist tells the villain not to do anything, if the villain does it, he will definitely be unlucky." β
"So, seriously, don't burn that contract."
Adam was really frightened for a moment, but he was very stiff, his hand shook, and he threw the contract into the fire.
"Whew-" The contract was quickly burned to ashes with a fluttering sound.
Chino spread his hands helplessly: "Why is reality always so vulgar, can't it be reversed?" β
Adam said coldly, "I don't like to talk nonsense with people. You came to me today to persuade me to support the Queen's New Deal? Unfortunately, this is not possible. β
Chino: "You look confident. β
Adam grabbed the saber hanging from the wall and threw it in front of Chino, opened his arms and said, "Twilight Death, I know I can't beat you, and I know your methods. β
"Aren't you just going to kill? I don't resist, you kill it. If you think you can threaten everyone with death, you are very wrong
Not everyone is afraid of death, don't believe it? You try it. β
Chino's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he slowly applauded, and the smile on his face became more and more playful: "I retract what I just said, the reality is not vulgar at all, and the current progress makes me feel interesting." β
Adam directly took off his clothes and went naked, revealing countless scars on his skin: "I have followed my father for so many years and made countless contributions to Doguland, and these scars are my merits. β
"If you want to kill a hero just because of a difference in political opinion, guess what the people of the whole territory will think of you? Thousands of years from now, your infamy will be left in the history books! β
Chino's fingers stroked the knife, vaguely revealing a sad expression: "Reasonable"
Seeing that Chino's tone was loose, Adam got dressed again, sat down beside Chino, and his tone began to soften: "Lord Regent, I have said many times that I have no intention of going against you. I'm not satisfied. It's just the so-called queen. β
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the new policy promulgated by Solandale will deal an immeasurable blow to the nobles, Lord Regent, you are also a nobleman, or a royal noble, the new policy will damage not only our interests, but also yours."
"Once the new policy is implemented, your fiefdom will be forcibly bought back, and there will be no more territory from now on. Your wealth will quickly depreciate, you will be overtaken by those mortals, and your status will plummet! As the leader of the king, can you accept this kind of thing? β
Chino sighed and said embarrassedly: "Of course I know these truths, but this is the queen's order, and I can only carry it out." β
Suddenly, Adam stood up and saluted Chino
What is even more astonishing is that he did not perform the usual salute of his colleagues, but the courtier salute to the king!
Adam: "The royal lineage has long been weakened, and royal power, to put it bluntly, is a crown, a throne. What Dogurland needs is not a little girl full of naΓ―ve fantasies, but a true king who can rule the world. β
"Lord Regent is now above ten thousand, but still under one, and you are only one step away from being supreme in the true sense."
"According to the Code of Doguland, established by the ancient king, if the minor monarch is not satisfactory during the reign of the regent, the regent has the power to depose him! As long as Lord Chino is willing to impeach the Queen, we and the Royal Family will fully support you and replace her. Coronation as king! β
