Chapter 566 Promise and Mission
Otto Losey returned home and locked himself in the study.
He doesn't understand why things have become like this.
Ever since the king fell ill, An Peiyin seemed to have been hit hard. Recently, he recovered with difficulty, but his behavior and speech were not the same as before.
To be precise, he has become a stranger.
As a friend who grew up playing with him, Otto thought he knew the prince very well. An Peiin was not the kind of person who would do anything for power. Sometimes he even felt that the other party was a little childish and not suitable to be a king who ruled the overall situation. Because of this, he planned to wait for Amperin to be crowned queen, and then he, Belinda and Oro would fully assist their friends in governing the government affairs—the three families had always followed the king closely, and it had been like this since the establishment of Dawn.
So he still answered yes without hesitation.
But Otto found that Ampain didn't care about his answers.
The other party asked that question just out of a habit of anxiety.
And I haven't considered this point myself - the three families are indeed willing to support the Moa royal family, but what if His Highness doesn't need their support?
Realizing this now, he felt that An Pain was getting farther and farther away from him.
Otto let out a sigh of relief, maybe he should take the initiative to do something.
But how?
Neither a pharmacist nor an alchemist could do anything about His Majesty's condition, and he knew nothing about treating diseases, so he couldn't fundamentally solve Amperin's heart disease.
To persuade the prince to cheer up?
He had already done enough of this kind of thing, but it turned out to be useless. Probably, he alone could not bring His Highness back to his side.
The three must join forces, and only by working together can they find out the reason why An Pain did this.
Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Master, it's very late now, where are you going?" When passing by the hall, the housekeeper caught up and asked.
"The Tokat family, you won't be coming back tonight!"
...
He came to the territory of the Tokat family with ease, and because the two were very familiar with each other, no one in the huge Earl's Mansion stopped him. Otto went straight into the martial arts hall, and as expected, he found Oro Tokat who was training with his attendants.
"Hey, why are you here?" Oro took off his sweaty turban and threw the wooden sword to the attendant, "I wanted to have fun but didn't dare to enter the door, so I decided to drag me into the water?"
"I have something to tell you."
He took Oro to the rest room next door, and explained his thoughts and plans, "What do you think?"
"Find out why An Pain became unfamiliar?" The latter pouted, "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"Hey you--"
"He is a prince, the heir to the Kingdom of Dawn, and will not be our friend forever, do you understand?" Oro shook his head and said, "And Amperin is also twenty years old, not a child of seven or eight years old, he Do we have to follow up to coax him? If you don’t want to talk about it, just don’t talk about it, I don’t want to go up and ask about it.”
"Don't you plan to assist Ampein Moya?"
"If His Highness needs us, it's called assistance. If you don't, it's called asking for trouble."
Did he see this too? Otto was shocked, "But our three families have always followed Moya—"
"Three families?" Oro smiled disapprovingly, "Since Andrea died, only you and I are left." He turned around, waved his hands and walked out, "Since you are here, I Let me take you for a stroll, otherwise I will always worry about this and that, I feel tired just looking at it, and it will be fine if I vent my energy."
"Andrea is not dead."
Oro's footsteps stopped instantly.
I'm sorry, Otto whispered in his heart, I promised to keep this secret, but I failed to keep the promise.
"Andrea Quinn is not dead," he repeated, "I saw her in the border town of Graycastle."
Oro turned around in an instant and rushed in front of him, almost pushing him against the wall with such force.
"What are you talking about? This, is this true?"
"I saw with my own eyes that she was with His Royal Highness Roland Wimbledon."
"Together..." Oro's eyes widened, "You mean the kind of togetherness between men and women?"
"I don't know," Otto bit his lip, "but she has become a witch, and only His Royal Highness Roland is willing to take in a witch in Graycastle."
"Wait, witch?" he asked in surprise, "What happened then?"
Otto Losey slowly told about Andrea's experience, and seeing the mixed expression on her face, he felt a faint pleasure of revenge in his heart. Who made you believe in the story of the Quinn family's falling off the cliff immediately at that time, now it is too late to know that she is not dead, she will not be with me, nor will she be with you.
"It turns out that her father's purpose of causing the cliff fall accident was this..." Oro sat down on the ground after hearing this, his face was full of frustration, "Damn, why didn't I think of digging open the grave to take a closer look? "
This guy... is too much! "Ahem, that's why we need to bring His Highness Amperin back."
The other party rolled his eyes, "Ah? What's the relationship between the two?"
"Of course! If you think about it carefully, he put aside the covenant between the two countries, and he is unwilling to give reasons. In the end, it will only make His Majesty the king's joint confrontation plan fail. Once the church launches an attack, we can only resist it alone—if They attack Chenxi first, you will lead the Knights to fight, right?" Otto asked.
"Of course, that's my job."
"Then you were defeated and sacrificed, so you won't be able to see Andrea?"
"Uh, it seems reasonable—no, why do you think I will definitely lose?" Oro yelled in disbelief.
"Even the fierce and tenacious Spike Kingdom failed to save the defeat, so how powerful are you," he continued, ignoring his friend's protest, "In turn, the Church will attack Graycastle first, and Roland will always meet the invaders. ? If he dies, Andrea will die by his side in all likelihood. If caught by the church, the end will be even worse. But if the two countries can become horns of each other, so that the church will not move, you You don’t have to die on the battlefield, and there will be a chance to meet again in the future, do you think the covenant is important?”
"……important."
"If you don't bring your Highness back, there will be no covenant. Do you think the two are related now?"
"There are relationships."
"Then do you want to do it?"
Oro said categorically, "It's done!"
The two hands were tightly clasped together.

Yorko dragged his exhausted but refreshed body back to the place where he was staying. Just as he pushed open the bedroom door, he heard a voice saying, "Finally you're back."
He was shocked, he was new here, who would sneak into the room and guard him? Could it be Denise's married husband? Before he could make up his mind whether to escape or beg for mercy, the other party had already lit the candle. Under the firelight, he realized that the speaker was Hill Fox.
"You almost scared me to death, you know?" Yorko heaved a sigh of relief, "Is there anything we can't wait until tomorrow?"
"No one will notice that I've been here at night," Hill spread his hands, "I'm used to being cautious, please understand."
"It doesn't matter." Although the other party is a personal guard, after all, His Majesty Roland assigned him, and he cannot be treated as an ordinary attendant. "Since you are here, you can speak."
"Nowadays a large number of wolf-hearted refugees are pouring into Chenxi, which is a good opportunity to recruit. You can treat it as a business, mainly buying craftsmen, literate people, and guys with special skills. All the money needed will be paid by His Majesty, and every time you recruit For one person, you can get five silver wolves as a reward."
"Please, I don't know how to do business! Chatting with Denise is just to seduce her. You don't really intend to let me do human trafficking, do you?" Yorko raised his forehead, "And the slave trade mainly takes place in the two countries. The border, as an ambassador, it is not convenient for me to go there!"
"This is what His Majesty meant," Hill said unhurriedly, "You don't need to leave Glory City, merchants will always resell slaves, it doesn't matter if the price is higher, and it saves the trouble of screening. Know how to do business... You can ask Denise Peyton for help. She is considered a well-known aristocratic businessman here. It is not difficult for her to transport refugees to Graycastle. Once the transportation line is established, it will be the same for us. There are many benefits, for example, when we encounter danger, we can pretend to be traders and evacuate at any time, which is both concealed and safe."
Yorko opened his mouth wide, "Have you been to Dawn King's Capital?"
Hill shook his head.
"Then how do you know so clearly?"
"I got it from the street just as you were going out."
"I thought you were a knight who could fight, but I didn't expect you to be a capable businessman," Yorko admired.
"I'm not a warrior or a businessman, but to protect your safety at critical times is also the mission His Majesty entrusted to me."
"Then you are..."
"An ordinary ... acrobat," Hill laughed.
