Chapter 761
Giles' concerns soon became a reality.
在阅兵结束后不久,国王罗德尼十八将他安排在晶耀的常驻使者召到王宫,劈头盖脸地骂了一段,历数贾尔斯一直以来对王室的不敬之事。
没有得到贪狼大公的指示,使者只能默默地忍受国王的责骂,而罗德尼十八更是在骂完后突然提出,让贾尔斯亲自到晶耀来认罪。
The king's clerk faithfully recorded the scene.
At the beginning, Giles' messenger Patterson slowly walked into the audition hall, raised his head and raised his chest, and looked arrogant.
Since the conclusion of the "peace" between the royal family and Giles, Patterson has been stationed by Giles to Jingyao, responsible for contacting the royal family and other matters. Relying on Giles' power, Patterson has always been in the royal capital. They all show this face.
Because everyone knows that the royal family cannot do anything to Giles. Although Giles cannot do anything to the royal family, the royal family, which should have been in the upper throne, is in such an embarrassing situation, which is in the eyes of many people, is losing.
In the audition hall, many senior officials, including ministers of various departments of the cabinet, the king's advisers and other senior officials were placed on both sides. Patterson quickly felt an unusual atmosphere. He was keen and quickly realized that everyone was using a kind of He looked at him with a stern look.
"This is not a way to entertain guests." Patterson complained in his heart that he had always positioned himself as Jing Yao's guests, not the people under the rule of the kingdom, and he only served allegiance to the Grand Duke Giles.
As he approached, the shadows on the throne shrouded, and the harsh, uncomfortable atmosphere became stronger.
Bang! A huge collision sounded in the auditorium hall, which was the sound of the etiquette officer slamming the scepter into the ground.
"Kneel down!" The loud voice of the etiquette officer echoed in the hall.
Although there is a kneeling ceremony in Aldo's noble etiquette, it is not common. It usually occurs in important occasions such as the lord's lord's vassals, and it is also when the vassal confesses his guilt to the lord.
What's wrong today? Patterson's heart was filled with storm.
In his past summons, he had never received such "politeness".
The king usually greets him, and during this period he will also ask Giles and his own physical health intimately, and talk to him about interesting things that happened recently in Jingyaoli.
However, today, it is like falling into an ice cave.
It is not difficult to see that Rodney Eighteen is looking for him, or rather, Giles behind him.
"Kneel down!" Seeing that Patterson was stunned, the etiquette officer repeated loudly.
Patterson suppressed the turbulence in his heart and tried to make his expression calmer, "Dear Rodney Eighteenth Majesty, can you tell me what happened so that Lord Giles' messenger would be treated so coldly? It's a despicable person The slander or the slander of jealous people has caused a crack in the friendship between the royal family and the southern border? "
A figure flashed out from the ranks of the kingdom's important officials, and Earl Morin said coldly to Patterson: "It is your master Giles, who has committed the unforgivable crime of rebellion, and you are in Jingyao's Messenger, you must be judged on behalf of your master.”
The sound of footsteps sounded, and the fierce palace guards walked towards Patterson, one of them pressed down on his shoulder with huge force.
Patterson realized that if he continued to fight it, something bad might happen.
He said angrily, "I will report what happened today to His Highness Giles truthfully." Then he knelt down with a plop.
The throne reflected a cold light in the flames, and King Rodney Eighteen stroked the handrail and turned his cold eyes to Patterson below.
He snapped: "Three hundred years ago, Giles' ancestors made a loyal vow to the royal family. At that time, he might not have thought that the divine vow would be broken by his descendants."
"Your Majesty, this is a slander! His Highness Giles has always been loyal to the kingdom." Patterson tried his best to defend his lord.
"Loyal to the Kingdom?" Rodney Eighteen said angrily: "Raise an army to attack the royal territory, drive away other lords in the southern border, and fight with force when the royal army goes south. Is he so loyal to the Kingdom?"
"Oh! He may be loyal to the Kingdom of Aldo, but he is loyal to Giles' Aldo--if his ambitions come true, not to Rodney's Aldo, am I right?"
Facing the king's stern accusation, Patterson lowered his head and said nothing.
"Are you hoarse your tongue by the cold wind in the north?" The king's voice even alarmed the birds outside the auditorium hall, "or did Giles never imagine this situation today, and what did you say without teaching you?"
The mail of the palace guards jingled in the silence. Rodney Eighteen raised his hand to signal the minister to the seal. He unfolded a book and read it loudly. The content was exactly the record of the crime committed by Giles. The piles, one by one, besides the things Rodney Eighteen just said, there are other things that have accumulated a thick book.
The royal family is about to turn against Giles! Patterson, who was forced to listen to the record of the Lord's crime, decided in his heart, but he did not expect such a bad situation and directly called himself in front of him and started scolding him.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
When the minister finished his seal, the king said coldly: "Although Giles committed a sin that cannot be forgiven easily, as a kind ruler, I am not willing to always use force. Listen, Pat ”
Patterson looked at the king after hearing the voice. He tried to find the guilty conscience in the young king's eyes. Perhaps the king just wanted to intimidate him, but unfortunately he failed.
Rodney XVIII's eyes were full of determination and indifference, without any trace of guilty conscience.
He continued, "As long as Giles can come here in person to admit his mistakes to me, I will still give him a decent ending."
What a joke! Patterson snorted in his heart. Giles might really come here, but he would definitely come with an army.
"My lord will not accept such a ridiculous slander!" Patterson said, "He will respect the sacred traditions since ancient times and use reasonable means - including force, of course - to defend his rights and interests, even if the other party is you, the respected king."
"So, he is determined to confront the royal family to the end?" Rodney XVIII said coldly. Patterson's answer did not surprise him, or he wanted this situation.
"In that case, he should explain to the Kingdom Army! I will send troops to the south to lock up the so-called Grand Duke Tan Lang and put him in a prisoner car and send him all the way to Jingyao."
The King's attitude showed no sign of softening. Finally, he ordered Patterson to be expelled from the palace.
The situation of this audience was recorded in detail and widely disseminated through newspapers and other publications.
Soon after, everyone knew that the King was going to take action against Giles in the south.
