Lord of Lowland

Chapter 397 Meet the King
Cecil also ignored the salutes of the soldiers guarding the teleportation formation, and walked straight into the city. Although the city of Issara was much deserted than before, some places where gold was sold were still brightly lit. The eldest son of the line of succession stayed as a hostage, which seemed to Cecil a good move for Prince Rex.The eldest son who has the right to inherit stays away from the territory, while the second son who has managed the territory for a long time has no inheritance right, and then Rex will profit from it and use the king's advantage to fight against one faction. This is probably what the king could do under the current situation Out of the best choices, Cecil not only admired the wisdom of King Rex.And these eldest sons who stayed in Issara City played and sang every night, carnival and drinking until the whole night.Those without ambition who lost their father's control would naturally be even more unrestrained, and the eldest son with a heart was willing to mix in this circle to expand his contacts to increase his bargaining chips. For a while, only this circle in the capital could be called the upstart class.

Cecil thought in his heart that fortunately he was young and his parents died, so he was alone, and there was no hostage for Prince Rex to hold, otherwise, he would have his family members come here as hostages.Cecil came to Issara City and immediately went to the noble management agency to report. Cecil's current status is not what it used to be. As a nobleman, every move will be noticed, especially in places like the capital, not Nobles can come in and out at will, and the portal can't be teleported at will, otherwise, wouldn't it be bad if an army is teleported to the king of the capital?Therefore, the kingdom has strict restrictions and regulations on the teleportation array, especially the nobles have to report to the kingdom's specialized agencies through the teleportation array, so Cecil will report for duty as soon as he arrives.

The management officials had already received the report of Cecil's arrival. Cecil said that he needed to see the king, and at the same time, he had a private matter to visit Priest Alonso. The officials also granted Cecil's request for an audience as usual.

In fact, meeting the king was also Cecil's helpless move, because if he came here and said to go to the priest Alonso, it might not be good news for King Rex, Cecil and King Rex I have been in contact with him for a long time, and I know that he is a man with great ambitions, but also sensitive and suspicious. He is a knight of destiny, and at the same time, he is also a newly rising celebrity in the kingdom, and Priest Alonso is now the highest official of the Temple of Dawn. If the two people met in private and the king didn't know about it, the king would probably feel suspicious, so of course Cecil had to see the king first to explain the whole story to him. Anyway, for King Rex, this is not necessary concealed from him.

Cecil successfully entered the palace. Now that his status is different, he can naturally have the qualification to meet the king alone.In order to show the importance he attached to Cecil, King Rex specially summoned him in a solemn place like the Throne Hall.This is the place where the king held the coronation ceremony, and it is undoubtedly a special courtesy for the courtiers to summon the courtiers in this kind of place.

King Rex seemed very happy to see Cecil. When Cecil was about to kneel down to salute him, he hurriedly helped him up: "Count Augustin, you did a great job, better than I imagined." It's even better. Not only did you completely take over the Blood Eagle Knights, you also forced out the forces that had penetrated into the Ailuk Empire again. You even won a decisive victory in the Swamp War and gained the favor of the Swamp Tribe. This is very beneficial to our entire kingdom, and I really saw you right, hahahahahahaha!"

Seeing King Rex laughing up to the sky, Cecil couldn't help laughing too. Cecil knew that politicians were always duplicity, and he didn't know how much of what King Rex said to him was true and how much was false. , Hastily knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The minister maliciously provoked the Cyclops tribe without the king's permission, causing a big war, so that the Blood Eagle Knights lost more than a thousand people, and I ask the king to punish."

Rex smiled and said: "Hahahaha, the Blood Eagle Knights were originally loyal to my father and Lucas' bastard's army, and it's too late for them to lose me. Although you went into battle without asking me, but You have achieved a brilliant victory, haven't you heard that sentence? Cecil? The victor does not need to be punished, so instead of punishing you, I will reward you." After finishing speaking, King Rex Throwing a bronze medal in the shape of a lion's head at Cecil's feet, the lion's head is extremely powerful, as if exuding infinite dignity and prestige.

Cecil hurriedly picked up the bronze medal engraved with the lion's head, and looked at King Rex suspiciously: "My lord, this is it?"

Rex laughed loudly and said, I like lions the most. The lion on this bronze medal is gorgeous and I love it. Now I give it to you. Didn't you form a new knight order?Take this lion head as the emblem of the Knights. "

Cecil was taken aback. The information about the establishment of the Oracle Knights had already been reported in the kingdom, and the kingdom approved it. Unexpectedly, King Rex would still remember it, and personally bestowed the emblem on him. This is absolutely true for a knight order. It is a great honor.Expressing King Rex’s recognition and approval of the knights, even Cecil was a little moved at that moment, and hurriedly knelt down on his knees: “Thank you for the reward from His Majesty the King, Cecil will swear allegiance to the King to the death, I don't hesitate to be ashamed."

Prince Rex laughed loudly and said: "These are small things, nothing to worry about. You have made great contributions to my ascension to the throne. You went to Samara province to quell the chaos before I even had time to attend the enthronement ceremony. You have made so many achievements." I don’t take credit for your achievements but I’m not proud, I should do some small things for you.”

Cecil had to admit that King Rex was a very commanding person, no matter whether he said these words from the bottom of his heart or not.At least what he said was very heart-warming, this is the most basic ability of a superior, following him always has a very exciting energy.Even Cecil, who has always claimed to be calm, felt a little like a gentleman treating me after hearing these few words.Of course, Cecil also knows better than anyone that the King Rex in front of him is an out-and-out wolf. When you interfere with his interests, he will kill you without hesitation. It is absolutely impossible for the person who seized the throne to expect him to show kindness to you.
