Dominate the world in three weeks?

After returning to the imperial capital, Terrence took care of himself in a hurry, then got into the carriage and went to the palace, accompanied by Lancer and Lu Sien.

Lu Sien originally didn't intend to come to the imperial capital with Terrence, he took what Terrence gave him, and protected him out of the forest safely, so he planned to meet up with the deep black mask, but when he went to the Mercenary Association to inquire about the news, he found out Was told that the mercenary team canceled the record.

The archers suddenly became helpless stragglers, and after being persuaded by Terrence, they nodded and agreed to follow him - Lu Sien still liked this employer very much, but he was originally hired by Captain Vic. Unwilling to break their promises.

Of course Terrence was aware of Lu Sien's temperament, so before Lu Sien went to the Mercenary Association, he asked Adam to handle the matter of the dark mask properly. A newly upgraded mercenary team would not let the Mercenary Association offend the Duke of the Empire. , this incident passed in an understatement.

After being attacked by wolves, the deep black mask didn't know how many people died. In short, when we left the forest, we had to pull up the team and start over. None of the previous mission records could be found.Those team members didn't offend Terrence very much, and Terrence would not insist on making things difficult for these civilian mercenaries. While keeping Lu Sien, Terrence would forget about it after a small punishment.

Terrence's meeting with the Queen was still in the afternoon, but the venue was changed to the conference hall.

Shanninpail is rich and powerful, and the palace is naturally magnificent. On both sides of the corridor leading to the hall, the pillars leading to the dome are carved into gorgeous portraits. The portraits are magnified by ten times in height, or they hold the sky above their heads or hold the sky in their hands. Very mighty.

The footsteps of Terrence's three people were sucked up by the red blanket on the ground, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing in Nuo Da's space.Terrence turned his face away with some anxiety, worried that the two people behind him would not be nervous and make a fool of themselves in front of the queen.

Lu Sien still had a slumped face, and it was hard to see any emotion in him, but Terrence noticed the empty eyes of the other party - when he brought Lu Sien out, the tall archer was hiding in the kitchen eating roast As for the chicken, they ran all night and rushed back to the imperial capital, no one had a good rest, and the most hungry was Lu Sien who usually ate the most.Terrence felt that he didn't have to worry about anything else going wrong with the archers. He was still in the kitchen and hadn't recovered from his thoughts. The most important thing to note was that Lu Sien didn't open his mouth when the queen asked. The word "roasted chicken" will do.

As for Lanser... He pursed his lips when he saw Terrence's gaze, patted Terrence's shoulder quietly, and then put it back without a trace—Mr. Knight probably thought that Terrence was like this The look of looking from both sides is really nervous...

Terrence touched his forehead and ignored the two guys.

The ivory-white carved door at the end was getting closer and closer, and the attendants who had bowed their heads and stood on both sides stretched out their hands to open the door when Terrence was about to walk there.

In the spacious hall, the queen sat high on the throne, with princes and ministers on both sides, and the first one on the left was Duke Pacino.When Terrence walked in, all eyes were on him.Terrence paid special attention to this Mr. Duke, but the other party's eyes were calm and unwavering, and he couldn't see anything.

Queen White Pearl waved to Terrence, beckoning him to come closer: "Terrence, my child, you have finally returned safely."

Terrence walked to the bottom of the steps and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty is worried about being tired."

The queen waved her hand: "Get up quickly, you just came back, why be so polite. Come to me, little Terrence, let me take a good look at you."

Terrence was a little surprised, he looked up at the queen, stood up and walked up the steps.

Behind him, the lowered voices of the ministers gradually sounded.The queen has been in power for many years, and her methods have become smooth and friendly. She usually invites the nobles to watch dramas and drink tea. Being by the Queen's side - this is always an attitude, and Her Majesty the Queen will weigh it over and over again.

Today, Terrence has become the first person to climb the steps since Queen White Pearl came to power.

The White Pearl Queen certainly did not act on the spur of the moment. People were speculating whether Her Majesty was implying the identity of Duke Aldret. Even Duke Pacino, who was very peaceful, frowned.

And that's exactly what the Queen wants.

During the period when Terrence was missing, Duke Pacino was even more rampant. The old Duke Aldrete was still able to contain him for a while. Although Terrence was young, he was supported by the old Duke's old friends. Nuo didn't dare to show too much.But Terrence's disappearance suddenly broke this balance. Although Pacino didn't say anything, someone told her that the empire was in turmoil due to the disappearance of the Duke, and it was best to settle the case of Terrence's disappearance for the time being.

This was originally the queen's secret plan, but it always made her a little doubtful if it was said from someone else's mouth, whether there was any shadow of Pacino in it, so it was delayed instead.

Pacino is getting older, and he is becoming more and more greedy for the throne. Terrence may not be regarded as an obstacle in his eyes. Under the eyes of Pacino, he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

If Terrence beat Pacino, the result would be the best.Terrence is still young now, and when he grows up, it will be time for the queen to choose another heir.If Terrence was plotted against in the political struggle... it could only mean that this child is not suitable for running the empire. Shannin Pyle is so big, there are always royal families living in various places, and the Queen only needs to support one more person.

The Queen's plan, Terrence already understood a little when he stepped on the steps.

But can he turn around and go on?This is obviously impossible.What's more, Terrence didn't want to refuse such an opportunity.

The queen wanted to use him to restrain Duke Pacino, so why didn't Terrence use the battle between the queen and Pacino to seek space for himself to survive.Exploitation always goes both ways, and opportunities and dangers are always inseparable.

Although both the Queen and Terrence had calculations in their hearts, they seemed very close to each other.

The queen took Terrence's hands, observed him for a while, and said with a gratified smile: "It seems that you have suffered a lot and your face has lost weight, but you are in good spirits, and you are much more cute than before. How heroic."

"Then don't call me cute anymore."

"I still remember this incident." The Queen smiled, "Come on, tell me, what happened to you these days, and who is so brave enough to kidnap the Duke of the Empire!"

At the end, the queen's voice suddenly became ruthless, and even had a little bit of the demeanor of the thorn rose in the past.

Terrence noticed that when the Queen said this, he glanced at Duke Pacino intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eye. I am afraid that the Queen thought that Terrence had been murdered by him.

Terrence really wanted to push the matter to Duke Pacino, but it was obviously impossible.Once the investigation is done, the loopholes are too big, and the handling of such a scandal may not be smooth.

Therefore, Terrence still made up a true and false story as he originally thought. He only said that he was suddenly knocked out in Winslet's palace and brought into the Bone Tower Forest. What kind of force is it, but was attacked by a group of robbers on the way, he took the opportunity to escape and was rescued by Lancer and Lu Sien.

The Tower of White Bone Forest is surrounded by countries of all sizes, and there are too many articles that can be done here. Terrence is not afraid of in-depth investigation.

As for Lancer and Lu Sien, Terrence has already explained his current situation to them. Lu Sien doesn't care about this kind of thing, so naturally he doesn't care; Lancer is the most guarded by Terrence, but he knows the least , don't worry too much.

As for the matter of Cusack City, Terrence did not mention Viscount Cusack, but only told about the fact that he was attacked at night. The body had been brought back for investigation. Terrence now knows Not much, simply leave this matter to Her Majesty the Queen, which will inevitably involve the city of Cusack, and it will be time for Terrence to take the opportunity to deal with Viscount Cusack.

After listening to Terrence's words, the queen was silent for a while, and looked at Lancer and Lu Sien who were still kneeling under the steps: "In this way, it is thanks to the two of them that you can be sent back to me safely. It is only five thousand I am afraid that one crystal coin cannot repay the kindness of the two brave men, I don't know what requests you have, but I am willing to do my best to satisfy you."

The second half of the Queen's sentence was naturally addressed to Lancer and Lu Sien. When Lu Sien shook his head and raised his head, Terrence felt something was wrong. When he uttered the first word, the little duke couldn't wait for it. Cover your ears.

"burn--"

"Your Majesty the Queen!" Terrence raised his voice—covering his own ears is definitely useless, what he needs to cover are the ears of the Queen and the ministers. "I've already kept them by my side, so I have to personally repay this life-saving kindness, so that I can appear sincere, isn't it?"

The queen thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You are right, little Terrence. But I can't give up expressing my gratitude to them for saving my dear nephew. Well, I will grant these two heroes the title of knight, Courage and honor will be with you throughout your life, honorable gentlemen."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, Lancer raised his head - Terrence once again had a bad premonition.

"Please forgive me for being rude, Your Majesty. I have already sworn loyalty to His Excellency the Duke of Aldret. Only my master can grant me glory, and I will only stand under the glory bestowed by my master alone."

—this watery-headed, rust-stained idiot!

Lancer's public refusal of the queen's title made the hall of the parliament fall into silence. It seems that this group of nobles never thought that someone would contradict the queen in public, and it was for the good fortune of being named.

Terrence took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, Lancer's family still retains the ancient knight etiquette, and he has been influenced by this to act recklessly. Please don't blame him too much."

Before the annihilation of the gods, elves, dwarves, and dragons still existed on this continent. At that time, human beings were far less powerful than they are now, and the country was as small as a tiny piece of land.The so-called knights are warriors who gather under the control of the lord and fight for various crises. The knights are proud to swear allegiance to the lord and dedicate their lives to the lord. The brilliance was handed over to others, the most outstanding of which were the dragon knights riding on the back of the dragon.

Those knights were nothing like those knighted by the queen today.

The Great Annihilation is more than 3000 years old, and some ancient records have survived.What Terrence said, the queen quickly reacted.

Duke Pacino has already snorted: "There are still people who follow the old rules of 3000 years ago, Duke Aldret, your excuse is too false."

The queen took the words for Terrence with a smile: "Isn't it more respectable to be able to keep the ancient honor of knights in mind than those who chase fame and fortune all day long? If this brave man is really a loyal and reliable person , then you should be happy that your nephew has received such a touching sincerity."

Regardless of whether the queen is unhappy because of Lancer's behavior, when she is determined to build momentum for Terrence, it will not satisfy Duke Pacino.

The queen turned her head and looked at Terrence: "How could I blame your benefactor for such a thing? In fact, I respect his qualities very much. Terrence, you have obtained an excellent knight."

She looked at Lancer again, "You are right, warrior, your loyalty and honor should be born of one person, remember what you said today. I would like to preside over the ceremony for you personally, and let this ancient His glorious spirit washes away those hearts filled with greed and arrogance."

"..."

Duke Pacino's face darkened again.However, this time he has an extra troubled brother.

Terrence pursed his lips and stared at Lanser without a trace——God, this feeling is like bringing a girl who has been stalking you back home, and your parents immediately said to get married. Unable to parry.

Because of the unexpected christening ceremony, night had already fallen by the time the three of Terrence came out of the palace—an extra dinner was provided by the Queen.

Sitting tiredly in the carriage, Terrence noticed that Lu Sien was looking at him with twinkling eyes at some point.

"……What's wrong?"

"Roast chicken." Terrence said so many twists and turns to the queen, Lu Sien actually didn't understand all of them, but he probably knew one thing, that is, the food he originally wanted to ask the queen was finally handed over to Terrence. up.

"I thought you had just finished dinner."

"Listen to you, I'm not full."

Bowman eats a lot and eats boldly. Terrence worried that he would disregard his image, so he privately told him to pay attention, but Lu Sien didn't know how to pay attention, so he had to feel bad about his stomach.

Terrence stroked his forehead: "I'll give you one hundred when I get back, please be sure to finish eating."

—and then you'll never want to see that thing again for the rest of your life.

Terrence, who was tortured by two people in turn to the point of neurasthenia, was thinking silently——Lu Sien obviously hit the gun.
