After Becoming The Tyrant

"It's so majestic."

The person who greeted the king stood outside Tru Castle and said in a low voice.

There were nearly 300 people in the negotiation team, and the king's luxurious carriage was in the middle of the team.The carriage that needs twelve tall horses to pull it is as wide as a small house. The oak frame of the carriage is plated with metal, shining brightly in the sun. The crimson southern flannelette is shrouded in the carriage, shaking gently as it moves.

"Don't act like a villager who has never seen the world."

The person in front laughed.

He is a very handsome knight, with light golden hair combed back meticulously, deep eye sockets, if placed in the high society of the palace, there must be countless ladies who are obsessed with him.And he is wearing a burqa with gold harp embroidery.

"Our Majesty the King is not an ordinary person. I heard that when a large number of people died of hunger and cold in the northern land, our honorable Majesty the King was asking people to use gold to build a carriage for himself."

"Why doesn't he bring his golden carriage? Open the eyes of those Bracy men, so that the lion's mouth can be opened wider."

The first to speak was bitterly sarcastic.

The king's servants had seen them.

Banners in the king's ranks waved to them.

"Okay, now let's go to meet His Majesty."

The light-blond knight ended the conversation, and he rode forward with the rest following him.

In addition to the scholar-judge in charge of the negotiations, there were a dozen iron-clad guards in scarlet cloaks who clustered around the gorgeous carriage and separated the king from the others.Those are the king's sworn knights.However, in front of the dozen or so armored guards, there were three people dressed differently.

"Sheehan."

The three recognized the blond knight coming up, and they greeted him with smiles.

The greeters led by the blond knight got off their horses, and the king's procession also stopped.After a long journey, people get a long-lost respite.The dozens of armored guards lined up on both sides, and the head of internal affairs stepped forward and respectfully lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a hand with a rose ring stretched out from behind the scarlet velvet.

The center of the dark gold iron rose is inlaid with a dark red gemstone, which is the emblem of the Legrand royal family.

But this noble and gorgeous ring has become a foil at this time, and the hand wearing it is a more noble existence, it is like a dew dotted on a rose.That hand is as white as the cold jade sent across the sea, not as small as ladies, nor as thick as men, well-proportioned and slender, and exquisite in every way.

The blond knight knelt down on one knee, held the hand protruding from the carriage, and kissed the iron rose ring on it.

"Honor your health. Your Majesty."

The king got down from the carriage.

It was the first time many in the greeter saw their Majesty the King.

It can be said that if you don't think about his "great achievements", many people will be willing to serve such a king, because he seems to be the dazzling master of the court poured out of dignity and luxury. The most eye-catching one in the palace.

The king's shoulders were covered with a crimson cloak, inside was a dark red silk satin robe, decorated with gold buttons shaped like roses, and three layers of pure white lace were revealed at the neckline, with bright diamonds inlaid on the lace , Dazzling.His silver hair was crowned with a jewel-studded crown, and his face was as delicate as the diamonds on his body.

Perhaps looking at the entire Legrand, there is no second handsome boy like him.

—a luxurious rose that brings corrupt death.

The blond knight thought, Show the king the way.

The ceremony for the official meeting was over, and the negotiating mission led by the king himself entered the city of Tru through the lowered drawbridge.It can be seen that they have done a little work to meet the king.The shops in the castle were decorated with red cloth strips, and those who accompanied the greeting wore a bright red rose flower on their chests.

The owner of Tru Castle, that is, the blond knight, Baron Sean.

Baron Sheen told the king that a dinner and an opera have been prepared for you.

It is well known in Legrand's empire that their king loves finery and feasting, and loves all pomp and pomp and opera.

——I just don’t know why those operas praising Mingjun failed to cultivate him to be kinder.

All in all, there's nothing wrong with planning extra feasts and operas if you want to cheer up the irritable king.

Unexpectedly, the king turned down the banquet and opera this time indifferently.

In the hall of Tru Castle, the king wiped his hands with a white handkerchief. He casually looked up at the owner of the castle, the Marquis Sean: "Do you think the opera here has a first-class artistic level?"

He said it in a soft, casual tone, taking it for granted.

The well-prepared welcome gift was despised and ignored. How did the principals of Tru Castle react?How can they react?

——They could only maintain a smile and apologize to the king, feeling terrified.

"Take me up to the tower, I want to admire the style of this castle."

the king ordered.

…………

The tower is very high, and from here you can overlook the whole castle, including the mountains and grasslands outside.

Zhu Chi stood on the tower with his hands on the stone window. Thanks to the warm crimson cloak on his body, he was not frozen by the cold on the top of the tower.The cold wind seemed to make his pupils, which had been difficult to bring warmth, turn bluer.

The owner of Tru Castle, Baron Sean, accompanied him and introduced the history of the castle to him.

Zhu Chi was not interested in those long family histories, he looked at the overall situation of Tru Castle.

"Tru" means "beautiful castle" in the language of the Kingdom of Legrand. It is a strong fortress defending the city of Tru, and it is also the frontier of the military battlefield to deal with the Blacy Expeditionary Force.In front of Tru Castle is the deep and swift Doma River.The king observed two megalithic fortresses built on wetlands formed by a tributary of the Doma River.

A wooden bridge spans the river, controlled by castle turrets, which will be hoisted if an enemy approaches from the front.

Taking the castle as the starting point, looking forward, there is a gently rolling grassland, and on the far west side of the grassland, there is a dark green forest-there are already the undulating Knoxon Mountains.

After observing the general terrain, the king withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly to look down.

His silver hair was blown by the wind on the high platform.

"...When the spring solstice arrives, the grassland in front will be decorated with beautiful Sana flowers..."

Baron Sean can be called a handsome nobleman, well educated in literature, he is good at using simple words to outline a beautiful picture.

However, the king listened quietly for a long time, but didn't get anything he wanted to know.

But the king didn't interrupt him, and occasionally asked him a question or two.

The king leaned on the window sill and overlooked the interior of the castle from this height.The king's eyes fell on one place, and he suddenly interrupted Baron Sean's eloquent narration: "How about your military expenditure?"

He asked casually.

Baron Sean's expression looked gloomy for a moment, but the blond baron quickly covered up his gaffe, still smiling brightly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's gift, the soldiers have just finished enjoying this year's turkey feast. Thank Your Majesty for them."

"Really?" The king straightened up, as if he didn't take the casual question to heart, "That's really great."

The boy king's moods are always capricious.

He was the one who said he wanted to enjoy the view of Tru Castle, and he was the one who quickly got tired of going back to his room.Lord Sean obeyed, and led the King downstairs to the prepared chamber, where the warm wood was burning.

after awhile.

Baron Sean returned to the tower in a hurry. He stood where the king was standing just now, and looked down with some doubts, trying to find out what the king had just seen.

Below is a low stone house, which looks the same as usual.

"...It's my overthinking."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

at the same time.

"It's wonderful."

The king stood in front of the window in his room, withdrawing the contempt and casualness of the day.He looked at the frost on the window with a blank expression, as if seeing things in the distance through the ice.

"My loyal lord."

Just now, when he was standing on the tower looking down, he saw a soldier dragging a slaughtered war horse through the stone room quickly.

Under what circumstances would a cavalry slaughter a war horse that was extremely important to him?

——When there is no food and the god of death is approaching.

The cold mask returned to the king's face.

...............

Negotiations began the day after the king's arrival at Trou Castle.

The king's team went to the grassland in the north via the wooden bridge in front of Tru Castle.

The specific location of the negotiation is a low-lying land between the Moon River Fortress and Tru Castle.The tributaries of the Doma River meander through the water grass, forming a no-man's land.

Peace agreements are generally held in such places.

The blond knight Baron Sean stood on the tower, waving goodbye to the negotiating mission.

"Farewell, my lord."

The baron had a decent smile, impeccable.

evening.

On the grass between Moon River Fortress and Tru Castle, tents were set up.The tent at one end is red, that is the Legrand Empire ruled by the Qiangwei family.At one end is blue, that is the Kingdom of Bracy ruled by the Tulip family.

The boundaries are clear.

The ranks of the two sides met face to face, and the tall and heroic general of the Blacy expedition symbolically shook hands with the king in the tufted scarlet cloak.Zhu Chi noticed that there was a pale and thin young man standing behind the general.

He retracted his gaze and said concisely: "Let's begin."

Negotiations have begun.

The purpose of the negotiation is that the two sides try their best to strive for conditions favorable to themselves and end this war.Experienced members of the law are fighting each other, but as one of the most important members, King Legrand rarely appears on the negotiating table.

The king, accompanied by his knights, spread out not far from the place of negotiation.

——This made the negotiating minister secretly shake his head.

On the afternoon of the second day of negotiations, the king met another man on the grass he used to frequent.

The man in black robe stood up from the grass and bowed humbly to the king on the horse.

The king recognized him.

It was the young man who stood behind General Blacy's Expedition that day.

"You came to see me on purpose."

The king dismounted and made the knights fall back a little.

"Your Majesty is not worried that I will assassinate you?" the young man reminded him, "The Blacy Kingdom and Legrand are mortal enemies."
