Chapter 33 Meeting

After a series of hard work, Gawain finally stepped into the Silver Fort in the most high-profile way.

The poor have no time to pay attention to this place, the commoners have no intention to pay attention to this place, the small businessmen and the common people will only pay attention to this place after a meal, but those nobles—almost every nobleman who has heard the news, have been paying attention to the progress of this matter from the very beginning.

However, the towering castle wall with silver foil stands, blocking most of the sight, the middle and low-level nobles are not allowed to enter the silver castle, and their news channels from the upper level have been available since the early morning. Blocked by the king's order, they could only watch the grand team enter the castle, and then discussed the news that had already been made public and was not considered a secret.

The Grand Duchess of the North, Victoria Wilder, arrived at Silver Castle three days ago.

The Grand Duke of the West, Berdwin Franklin, and the Grand Duke of the East, Silas Lauren, arrived at Silver Fort together an hour ago.

Several advisors and the king's former prime minister also entered the castle.

The door was closed, and no one knew what was going on inside.

Is it a banquet? A secret conversation? A dispute? Or even a murder?

Countless pairs of eyes staring at the castle are rolling, the nose under the eyes is twitching nervously, searching for the taste of conspiracy or opportunity, while the mouth under the nose is opening and closing, creating all kinds of new opinions and rumors - and the listeners It is also wise to never take the news that I heard as true, because until the gates of the castle are reopened, no one knows what a reviver from seven hundred years ago will talk to the current king.

Francis II did not hold any annoying banquets, nor did he meet Gawain in the way of "summoning" in the court hall. He chose to hold this meeting in the "Oak Hall" next to the council hall, which was also Gawain's Require.

The Oak Hall is an ancient place. Its existence can be traced back to when the foundation of the Silver Castle was just laid 700 years ago. At that time, the castle was not the same as it is now covered with silver foil. The so-called silver word is only because Charles I really couldn't think of a better name.

As the most senior room of the castle, which has undergone numerous renovations and reconstructions, the Oak Hall was enchanted by a powerful court druid some four hundred years ago to keep its main timbers alive forever (Actually this magic has to be recharged every 100 years).

Although the oak hall is only one-third the size of the main council hall, it is small and old, but it is the most extraordinary place in the castle. Only nobles above the earl are likely to appear in this hall, and only those Matters that can affect the fate of the kingdom are discussed in secret here.

A round oak table was placed in the center of the hall. The king sat in the position representing the "crown" in the horoscope. To his right sat his former Prime Minister Aiden, a middle-aged man with thinning hair and deep eyes. On the left is the contemporary Duke of the North, Victoria Wilder, and extending to the left and right are the Duke of the West, Baldwin Franklin, the Duke of the East, Silas Lauren, and several others. The representatives of the nobles, who were too lazy to remember their names, sat at the table, while the royal advisors sat in the other row of chairs behind the king.

Gawain was alone with Rebecca.

Amber and Knight Byron are definitely not qualified to participate here, so Gawain simply left them in the mansion at No. 4 Crown Street - he never thought of bringing Amber to Silver Castle, as the thief Miss's professionalism, she had to scrape off all the silver foil pasted on the outside of the castle.

Except for the former Prime Minister and the general advisory group, everyone on the scene is the descendant of the pioneers (including Gawain himself) of the pioneers when Ansu founded the country. of extraordinary significance.

As a founding father, Gawain did not need to salute anyone on the scene,

So he sat down in his seat directly and carelessly, while Rebecca next to him was obviously a little nervous. The little girl squeezed her fists hard and took a few deep breaths before she sat down safely - in the end, she forgot that she had to be right. The king salutes.

But in this case, no one will hold her accountable - that's the arrogance of bringing the parents to the meeting.

From the moment Gawain, who was dressed in a duke's costume and had the pioneer sword on his waist, walked into the room, everyone turned their gazes over until the living fossil sat down on the chair, and those gazes did not converge much. It is not in line with the etiquette of aristocrats, but it is difficult to control: a figure from 700 years ago just jumped out of the coffin and walked in front of him, who wouldn't give him a second look?

While looking twice, many people are still thinking about the authenticity of Gawain himself—or, in other words, the attitude of Francis II.

At this time, the old king across the table stood up. He had gray hair and looked very old, but he still had a good momentum and spirit against the background of his gorgeous clothes. He led the three dukes to stand up, and also led the way. other attendees.

Gawain looked at him and listened to him speak solemnly: "The gods protect Ansu, today, seven hundred years later, we are actually honored to be able to meet the heroes of the pioneering year with our own eyes, thank you and your generation for serving humanity. Continuing the sacrifice and dedication made, this land and everyone on it will never forget the great pioneers. Here, as a descendant of the Moen family, and with the descendants of the pioneers, Tribute to our ancient heroes."

The king bent down, and every descendant of the pioneers (including the three dukes) did the same.

Now, the king has made a statement - the resurrection of Gawain Cecil can be true.

As for whether there is a problem with a king bowing to a duke, in fact, there is no problem at all. After all, Gawain, who has been dead for seven hundred years, is no longer just a duke, but a symbol. Everyone present bows several times to the portraits of Gawain Cecil and a large group of pioneer ancestors when they sweep the tomb every year. Now there is a one-to-one restored real person standing here.

But Gawain always felt that something was wrong. After a second, he reacted with a strange expression on his face: "The last time so many people bowed to me, I was lying in the coffin..."

Everyone: "..."

The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward.

But fortunately, everyone here has also experienced strong winds and waves (although this is the first time I have seen this type of wind and waves), they quickly reacted and straightened up calmly, while the king smiled: "Ordinary junior It is also necessary to pay respects to the elders.”

Gawain followed suit and laughed, although he was several rounds younger than that Francis II in appearance, his tone was like an elder: "Although the age difference is a bit much, but the expression on your face when making excuses is really good. Just like Charlie back then."

Gawain Cecil also expressed his position - the Morn blood on Francis II can also be true.

After finishing speaking, Gawain and the old king looked at each other and smiled, and it could be seen that the latter was particularly relieved, even a little flirtatious.

Everyone on the scene is very smart (maybe a certain unworthy descendant can be excluded?), and they are extremely good at analyzing the personality curves of the other's ancestors' eighteen generations from one's fart, so Gawain and Francis II are simple and simple. A single conversation is enough for them to understand the tone of the conversation, and they can also deduce by the way that the king and the ancient archduke should have reached a certain degree of consensus.

The lady sitting on the left of the king seemed to frown slightly, but she didn't seem to have any change in her expression when she looked at it again, but as the only female grand duke among the three dukes, her existence itself made Gawain look more. a few glances.

It was a woman in her thirties. She was as mature and beautiful as Hetty, but she was much more cold and indifferent than Hetty. She was wearing a long white dress and a silver dress on her shoulders. The fox shawl, coupled with the same white silk gloves and silver curly hair, made her feel as if she was wrapped in ice and snow. This snow queen-like beauty was so eye-catching in the oak hall, which fully explained One thing - white is really reflective.

The entire left half of Francis II's body is brighter than the right half...

That is the contemporary Grand Duke of the North, Victoria Wilder, and Gawain matched the temporary supplementary information with the real person in front of him in his mind, while recalling the establishment of the Second Dynasty: it was the North who raised an illegitimate son to power. The Wilder family.

But now it seems that the descendants of the illegitimate child are no longer under the control of the Wilder family.

Noticing the sight from the opposite side, the "Ms. Bingxue" nodded with a sullen face, probably saying hello, Gawain waved his hand when he saw this: "You have the same facial paralysis as your ancestor, I told Wilder back then, Let him marry a more lively southern girl, and neutralize his face a little bit, but he won't listen, and now it will be a disaster for the children and grandchildren..."

The face of the female archduke of the north trembled slightly, and then Gawain looked at the archduke of the west and the east again, and chatted a few things about their ancestors according to the corresponding information in his memory, and finally put his eyes on the former prime minister. The empty seat with the Grand Duchess of the North—there were no chairs there.

It was originally the seat of the Cecil family, but since a hundred years ago, the chair was removed. Since then, there have been three Dukes of the Four Realms, and there are no more grand dukes in the southern part of Ansu. The high-ranking nobles became the ruling group in the south, while the Cecil family was squeezed into the most remote corners.

Noticing where Gawain's line of sight fell, everyone including Francis II couldn't help holding their breath, the atmosphere seemed to be tense for a moment, and from the friendly and friendly stage to the main part of the meeting— - That is, the stage of scolding the street and slapping the table.

But Gawain just glanced there, and then showed a relaxed and natural, even a little disdainful smile on his face, he looked at the king across the table: "Let's get to the point - next, my descendant, Rebecca Sethi Come and explain to you the disaster that happened in the southern part of the kingdom. Gentlemen, that is the real trouble."
