On the second day of the king’s return, at nine o’clock in the morning, the bedroom.

　　 Huggins, who was walking a little lame, straightened his clothes, buttoned the door of the room, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

　　 No one responded after the door.

　　 Intensified the knock on the door, and Hudgens raised the volume by another three points.

　　 Still no one answered.

　　 apologized, Huggins opened the door and looked at the huge king's bedroom.

　　 There is no one.

　　 Hudgens walked to the bed to see that the bed was as clean as new, with no traces of being used.

　　 then turned his gaze to the corner of the room, and a simple quilt was placed at the root of the wall.

　　 Exiting from the room, Hudgens found the maid on duty and asked, "Have you seen your Majesty?"

　　 The latter pointed to the garden outside the window.

　　Walking to the entrance of the royal garden, to Huggins's surprise, Cumberland sat in the pavilion early and looked at the front intently.

　　Walking into the pavilion, Hudgens followed Cumberland's gaze. Todd, with a sharp upper body, raised the long sword high and swung it down. Repeatedly, the sword style was fierce.

　　 "The posture and method of using the sword is a bit like from the northern barbarian country." Huggins looked at it for a while and said.

　　 Cumberland snorted: "If you don't learn serious swordsmanship, you have to practice this wild skill!"

　　 Hudgens closed his mouth and smiled bitterly. For the king's leaving half a year ago, the most violent reaction was the old knight Cumberland.

　　 After Todd left, although he immediately contacted all the officials, Cumberland was determined to retrieve the king as soon as possible.

　　 During that time, the old man seemed to be stunned, riding a war horse, rain or shine, leaving the city early in the morning, returning at sunset, not letting go of any possible information, and his footprints almost covered the entire Yuexi Plain.

　　 Even today, although the king has returned, for some reason, Cumberland's face is still worried.

　　 After finishing the daily training exercises, Todd carried the sword and walked towards the two watching with a smile.

　　 Throwing the weapon in his hand to Huggins, Todd sat down at the stone table in the pavilion and stretched out his hand to signal the others to also sit down.

　　 "Tomorrow night, the envoy of the Holy Acropolis will come to the palace as a guest." Todd reached out and took the wet cloth handed by the maid, wiped his face and neck, and said to Huggins, "How is the dinner arrangement?"

　　 Hudgens nodded and said, "We have found 22 top chefs in West Side, and each of them has a famous dish in the country. We guarantee that tomorrow night’s dishes will be delicious but unique."

"In addition, I have notified the first-class theater company "Golden Skylark" and told them to reject all announcements and make sure to present the performance in the best condition tomorrow night. Of course, the hot star in Twilight City-Barbara Miss, will also show up on time."

　　 Hearing this, Todd nodded with satisfaction: "The reception of the Holy Acropolis envoy is regarded as the kingdom's first diplomatic activity. It should be better prepared."

　　 Hudgens replied while taking out a list from his arms and handing it to the king: "Your Majesty, I have drafted a list of the guests who will be attending tomorrow night. You can take a look."

While Todd was reading the list, Huggins glanced at Cumberland, who closed his eyes and said nothing, and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is someone, I'm not sure if I should invite her to the banquet. I hope you Can make a decision."

　　 Todd looked away from the paper and asked strangely: "Who?"

　　 "Mary Mary."

　　 "Why can't she come to the banquet tomorrow evening..." At this point, Todd finally realized the problem.

　　 Mary married from Holy Acropolis to Silver Ring when she was a young girl. Although the root cause was that the King of Silver Ring listened to the slander, so she had to defect from the Kingdom of Silver Ring, but after all she was the princess of Holy Acropolis. The Kingdom of Muxi received the Holy Guard mission this time. If Mary were to be present, it would indeed be a rather embarrassing situation.

　　 Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Cumberland next to him, and Todd found that the old knight was secretly observing his actions. Presumably, the other party also wanted to see his attitude regarding Mary's affairs.

　　 "Write her name on first, and I will confirm with her personally." Todd tapped his finger on the table and said to Huggins in a deep voice.

　　 Confirmed a series of relevant details of the banquet. Seeing that the king had no other explanation, Huggins stood up and said goodbye, and gave the time of being alone to the old and the young, one ruler and one minister.

　　 Seeing that there is no one else around, Todd, who can clearly feel Cumberland's resentment, just intends to speak softly, but he didn't expect the other party to speak first.

　　 "I heard your Majesty you are going out this time only with the woman named Rachel?"

　　 Todd was taken aback, nodded and said yes.

　　 "Rachel’s identity, your Majesty, should you be very clear?"

Although he might have expected Cumberland’s words, Todd still intends to defend Rachel: “I know she was once a member of the Presbyterian Dispute Legion, but she has already resigned from that organization. Now, She is loyal to the kingdom, loyal to me..."

　　 Cumberland seems to have little sympathy with this statement: "Your Majesty, are you sure you can be sure? Can you say that there is no hidden secret behind this woman?!"

　　 Todd rubbed his temples and said distressedly: "She saved my life! More than once!"

"How's that?!" Cumberland stared, blowing his beard: "In a chess game (chess), in order to protect a valuable piece, the flag bearer often sacrifices some minor pieces, but this is not It means that this valuable piece will definitely be the king!"

Todd felt the sudden expansion of the blood vessels on the top of his head, and his words began to bring three points of anger: "You can't imagine what I have experienced in the past six months! I survived under the death sickle, struggling in endless hell! If there was no Rachel, I would have no bones left!"

　　 "Listen to what you mean, Your Majesty, do you want to make her a queen?"

　　 Todd was surprised by Cumberland's sudden question ~lightnovelpub.net~.

　　 Later, he furrowed his brows and shouted loudly: "These are totally different things! Can't be confused!"

　　 "The trait of'excellent intelligence' is a blessing for a country if it is placed on the king; but if it is placed on the queen, it is the king's misfortune!"

　　 These words made Todd's face flushed. He firmly grasped the hem of the stone table with both hands, and the scales of his arm slowly appeared.

After a long period of time, using the "Anger Management Method" of the previous life, Todd finally felt a little calmer. He said to Cumberland in an unusually cold tone: "I originally invited you to ask some holy guards. The customs and details of the city, but now it seems that we all need time to think about some more important issues."

Unexpectedly to Todd's expectation, the old knight Cumberland suddenly knelt on one knee and paid a standard knight allegiance to the king, and said with all his heart: "Your Majesty, as the lord of a country and between his ministers There should be no selfishness. After all, we are your courtier first and your family second."

　　 Todd closed his eyes, held his forehead with the palm of his hand, waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to be alone.

　　 After waiting for Cumberland to go away, Todd, who was confused in his mind, called the attendant in the palace.

　　 "Prepare a carriage, I'm going to the clothing store "Lily El" now."
