Lord Duke

Chapter 41 Obscure

The flag at the gate of Wangcheng was replaced, and the pattern remained unchanged, but the gold border representing the royal family was replaced with a plain pattern.

The roses at the gate of the city are still delicate and beautiful, but the guards have changed.They still looked solemn, guarding the city gate seriously and responsibly.The bloodstains at the city gate could not be completely cleaned up, and the mottled bloodstains silently revealed the big accident before.

Going into the city, the streets are a little noisy, like a young man who has undergone major changes, and after a period of time, he slowly begins to regain his former vitality.There is occasional dust on the ground, and the cleaning staff sweep it slowly.

The sun rose as usual today, and the water on the banks of the Volga still flows quietly.When the first rays of sunlight illuminate the church and the bell tower behind it, the far-reaching bells have penetrated the entire King of Eaton.

One after another.A full ten times means that something important has happened.Yes, the royal family of King Eaton has completely ceased to exist.The wind fluttered, blowing the flag hanging on the high flagpole of the palace.

It is no longer a gold-rimmed red pattern, and the pattern on the flag is an eagle with wings spread on the plain pattern.

At this time, more than half a month has passed since the war.The smell of blood in the wind has long faded away. At that time, the gold and iron horses, thousands of arrows, the long and sad sound of the horn, the setting sun like blood, the noise soaring to the sky, the soldiers and guards with broken halberds, everything was wasted in time. inside.

Time is the greatest and cruelest writer, it writes the final ending for people.

Chabu was not wearing a crown at this time, he was wearing a golden red robe, sitting in a position to the left, stroking the kingdom's laws spread out in front of him with his fingers.Little by little light came from his eyes, and he stood up, standing up.

In the empty main hall of the palace, all the decorations have been changed, rose-shaped lanterns, woolen carpets.Chabu smiled thoughtfully, and suddenly there were footsteps coming from far and near in the hall.

Chubu smiled and shouted: "Ade, Suoy." These are the two people who have assisted him from the very beginning until now, and are also subordinates to Yiyou.The older one is Soi, and the young guy is Ade.

The two people in front of them were no longer what they were before, and all the things they had experienced along the way also brought determination to their eyes.The two of them looked at Chabu, then at each other, smiled casually, stepped back and saluted respectfully, "My lord, the enthronement ceremony is about to begin."

Chubu's gaze went far away, and his eyes seemed to reflect the great rivers and mountains of the Principality of Eaton, and the map of the Principality of Eaton was neatly laid out on the table not far away.He smiled, with indescribable pride and ease, and the slightest emotion before was wiped away.He said: "Okay, come!" After a while, Ade and Suoy only saw the hem of Chabu's clothes, and they also quickened their pace to follow Chabu.

Chubu, who was walking in front, suddenly had a scene in his mind: the setting sun was like blood, a man who was pierced by a spear was half kneeling and unwilling to fall, surrounded by fallen soldiers, his body was stained with blood, but He is already dead, but he does not want to fall.Among the people who fell to the ground, he was extremely conspicuous.

He had a slightly gloomy face, and his hair was so stained with blood that he couldn't see his original appearance. He chose to die in battle.

Chubu knew that person, he had a ruthless spirit in killing enemies, but it was a pity that they were his enemies.Chubu, who was standing not far away and manipulating the battlefield, paid attention for a while, but didn't care about that person any more.

It is only a matter of time before the king city is breached.He later learned that the man was Prince Arizona.At that time, I was appreciative and moved, but in the end, I just thought that after he became a king, he must be a good king.

After passing through the palace gate and opening the last gate, countless flowers fell down.The enthronement ceremony has begun.

********

Today's weather is exceptionally good.

White birds fly across the blue sky.The jade-white stone steps are shining in the sun, and the sun seems to have a warm taste.

A gust of wind blew that black hair.

Payne stood in front of the window with his arms folded, his gaze was looking towards the direction of King Eton's palace, neither sad nor happy.

Slant also tried to show Payne what he found, when he felt that Payne was in a very good state of mind.Payne himself was very aware that something was wrong with him, but it wasn't until he saw the information that Slant showed him that he realized it.

He knew he was sick.The first thing I thought of was to see a doctor and take medicine, but I vetoed it myself.It is estimated that there is no effective medicine that can act on the spirit at all, and it is estimated that Slant also thought of this.

The memory of more than ten years ago suddenly became clear again, and a certain point that was once doubtful became clear for a moment.His mother, that gentle and kind woman, probably sensed something was wrong with her husband and began to have a tendency to get sick, and her own accident stimulated her, causing her to kill her husband.

I heard that Isha committed suicide and went with the king.He had faintly felt that under her young and beautiful skin, there was an almost morbid paranoia.

Payne tried hard to adjust himself, and Slant tried hard to untie him.In the end, Slant still let Payne handle things and distract attention. They were not two people who had nothing to do with this world, but two dukes with real power.They also shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Payne knew that the royal family of the Duke of Eton no longer existed, and Chub had succeeded to the throne.Feeling sorry for Prince Arizona, there was a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Slant also looked towards the distant Kingdom of Eaton, his eyes were fixed, and he murmured softly: "Maybe we can talk to Chubu about a cooperation between hello and me, but this is the case now," his voice was soft The ground seemed to be dripping water, "Is the day when we hold a wedding coming soon?" He was referring to the kingdom law that restricted same-sex together.

Payne turned his head to the side, touched Slanter's forehead lightly, and said firmly: "Soon." All this will subside soon.There are those old foxes in the west who will not break through. As for the confrontation between the army of the preacher of Ovi and the army of Bishop North, they sent the Arab knights to help the preacher of Ovi.If Chabu was a good king, he would naturally seek cooperation with them. In this case, Bishop North's army would not be a concern.It doesn't matter if Chubb is not.At most, it will take a little more effort and thought, but their luck has always been good.

Payne looked at Slanter and hooked the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, with you, I feel that this world is real and not so illusory.In the past, no one really needed me. They were interested in my power, the benefits I could bring to them, or my appearance. No one really needed me.I seemed to be outside the world. At that time, I told myself that I was a duke, and I should be responsible to the common people and my people.

I unilaterally created a weak link, as if I was needed.

But now, I am really needed.

Slant let go, rubbed the space between his brows, and suggested, "Take a rest for the morning, let's go for a walk, how about?"

Payne smoothed the line between his brows very naturally and with some distress, nodded in agreement and said, "After working so hard for a few days, it's time to relax." He thought for a while, "By the way, I'll take you to see my mother."

Slant raised his head and took a closer look at Payne's expression. Payne looked at him nervously, but smiled, "Don't worry. I don't think I'm doing very well now, but I'm at seven or eight. I don't feel bored or tired. The world feels so boring, and I don’t have the urge to get angry and destroy things.”

The two rejected the butler's proposal to bring an entourage, and only asked him to prepare some simple things, and the two set off.

It's a fine day.Slant couldn't help stretching, and now, the lazy factor in his bones began to emerge restlessly.His standing posture is still sloppy, his walking is still lazy, his eyes are still emerald, and the brilliance flows.Everything seemed to be the same, Payne thought.

He is still as tall and straight as Bai Yang, with handsome eyebrows as before, and at first glance he looks arrogant and indifferent, as if time has not left its mark.Great, Slanter thought, everything seemed to be the same.It was as if in the not-too-distant past, they used to wander around the royal city like this.

***

Priest Ovi asked, "Knight Rabbi, what do you think we should do?"

Rab, the chestnut-haired silver knight, finally raised his face when he heard this. Duke Payne sent here to assist Priest Orville.

He thought about it and said, "Now, I don't know what to do." The knight guards around also frowned in thought, very embarrassed.

Let's say that the preacher Ovi was asked several times by Payne, and he suddenly understood something.He felt that Bishop North's teachings were not pure, and he was suspected of instigating the people.He no longer wants to follow those incorrect teachings.

He has some abilities, and with his sincere belief in the teachings, he can divide some people to fight against the army of Priest Krill.But although he has some abilities, he is ultimately not capable enough.

After a battle, the army suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers were originally congregants. Some of them were persuaded by the priests and priests from Priest Creel's side, and the morale of the army suddenly became a little lax.When he was in a state of desperation and anxiety, a chestnut-haired knight asked to see him with a letter.

That was Rab, the silver knight.At that time a long time ago, when Payne knew that Slant had successfully crossed the central front with the help of Ovie, he began to plan for the next thing.

After several considerations, Payne carefully chose Rab to go to the preacher of Ovi, and took Laurie and Shide to the eastern battlefield.Facts have proved that his choice is not wrong.

Some of Fleiro's superficial methods were deftly resolved by Rab, so the battle between the two parties seemed to be full of thunder and rain, and Fleilo was not good at fighting, so he kept the two sides in a balance.

Now, this balance has been broken.

If there is no action, the Principality of Eaton will soon settle down.

Fleilo wasn't about to procrastinate.His intuition in some aspects is extremely keen. The army of Kelin has not yet invaded the Principality of Eaton. Something must have happened, and he is too lazy to spend any more time here.

The author has something to say:
