The Sun King's Evidence

After a sumptuous dinner, several people returned to their rooms, bathed and changed clothes. After a long battle, the knights were more or less stained with dust.

After finally moving into the castle, it was natural to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

Ryan had already prepared a large wooden barrel in his room. The original gene buried his strong male body in the hot water and exhaled comfortably: "Ah, it feels so good."

The hot water inside the barrel was rippling, and Ryan leaned on the edge of the barrel. He relaxed and stretched his body as much as possible.

After sending troops to the Arden Forest in early August, it was now late September without realizing it.

The Holy Grail Knight recalled the past along the way.

"Haha, I also know that what I do will definitely be full of controversy, but it is the right decision." Ryan murmured to himself: "Of course this will bring me trouble, but I firmly believe that compared with the countless people around the Arden Forest, It’s the right thing for me to do to protect the village and next year’s giant beast tide.”

The room assigned to Ryan was a clean room in the Artois Castle, but it was not particularly large. The simple bed, table and chairs, and the spacious interior of the room were all that the room had.

The glorious family in the past has come to nothing. After that, the Castle of Artois has become a specialized military garrison and lost most of its residential functions. Later kings mostly used it as a military fortress rather than a nobleman. residential castle.

Ryan is still thinking about the consequences of his disobedience.

The king used his royal power to call for an army, and it was the duke's obligation to send troops to participate. However, there was certainly no duke who intended to send his own troops to the king's death.

My vassal's vassal is not my vassal, and Ryan is not a vassal of the king. He does not need to answer to the king. He only needs to answer to Francois, Duke of Wynford, and he successfully completed the task and brought the army. Come out, in this matter, whether it is Duke Wenford or Duke Red Dragon, they will definitely support him in this matter, there is no doubt.

Ryan's problem is that he refuses to save his life.

What he does will indeed cause controversy in the entire kingdom. Even if he wins, the Duke and the King will not like his unrelenting way of acting. If he changes places, Ryan will like this unrelenting behavior. Friendly troops? Who would want to hand their back to such a person?

Anyone who is besieged hopes to receive reinforcements.

So Duke François was right when he said that he "caused trouble."

There is nothing wrong with Ryan being the chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, and there is nothing wrong with him being the Knight of the Holy Grail, but this is not an excuse for him to be arrogant and do whatever he wants. Rules are rules. Ryan knows the importance of order better than anyone else. Order is the fight against chaos. The only magic weapon, he himself is the guardian and beneficiary of order.

Let's first listen to what Duke Francois and Duke Berhemond have to say. They are both Knights of the Holy Grail. Their virtue is unquestionable compared to others, and they are also very important figures in the entire kingdom.

After taking a shower and changing into clean aristocratic clothes, Ryan's handsome face gradually faded away from the dust. His blue eyes were surrounded by psychic energy. A crimson velvet jacket and trousers with white fur edges were worn on the Holy Grail Knight. On his body, showing his identity as Baron Jean, the golden Holy Grail Knight badge was hung on his chest, shining with the brilliance that countless knights dreamed of.

The emperor's last son has an aura of calmness and self-reliance. After several years of fighting, a mature and confident temperament began to appear in him. There is also a clean aura unique to the Gray Knight's Primarch, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Sure enough, not long after he changed his clothes, his door rang: "Sir Ryan? Father and the others said he is waiting for you in the conference room on the third floor of the castle."

It's the voice of the female knight! Ryan opened the door.

A look of surprise flashed across the Primarch's face.

The duke's daughter-in-law had already changed into the standard dress of a marquise, a red velvet coat, a hat with three and a half rows of ermine, and a silver ring on the crown with four gold leaves and four silver balls.

The golden waist-length curly hair is still tinged with moisture. The female knight's delicate face is full of heroic spirit. Her fair skin is exuding a moving halo. Her sea-blue eyes shine like gems and her cherry-red mouth Very tempting.

With her blond hair and long legs, Ryan's eyes stayed on the female knight for a while. He had to say that the duke's legitimate daughter in front of him was very attractive to him in every aspect.

Sulia did not urge her. On the contrary, the female knight's bright eyes were also looking at Ryan's face.

Outside the castle, the autumn rain continued, beating on the walls and windows. Inside the castle, the Duke's daughter-in-law and Baron Jean looked at each other.

Their eyes quickly drifted apart. Ryan felt that it was not polite to look at an unmarried female Marquis like this, so he took the initiative to speak.

"I'm fine, let's go now."

"Ah? Oh, okay." A blush rose on the female knight's face, and she seemed a little dazed.

So Ryan and Sulia walked towards the heights of the castle together. Along the way, there seemed to be some silence between them because of what happened just now.

"Father will support you in this matter...I will also support you in this matter. If it weren't for you, we might have been wiped out long ago." Finally, Lidya Su took the initiative to open the topic.

"Thank you." Ryan shook his head gently: "But Miss Sulia doesn't need to be involved in this. I did it, and the person I have to face is me."

"But I..." The female knight was about to say anything more, but Ryan just waved her hand. The Primarch tried to change the topic: "As for how to solve this matter, I believe there will be an answer soon. I just hope it will be solved as soon as possible. Because this year’s autumn harvest should already be in progress, and my castle is still being repaired. If I don’t go back to supervise some progress, God knows where I will spend the winter.”

"You can come to Helenhilde to spend the winter. There are so many empty rooms in the castle, it doesn't matter if we arrange a few for you." Sulia said subconsciously: "I think your father and brother will welcome your arrival."

"Yes, especially Yuri, he must be very happy." Ryan complained calmly: "He will pull me up early in the morning to compete, and then we will compete again after dinner at noon, um... maybe after dinner There’s still one more thing to do to help you digest your food…”

"Pfft~" The female knight couldn't help laughing and pursed her lips with a smile. She thought about it carefully and it was really possible. She knew her brother very well. In the past, when Ryan was not around, his brother had talked about him every day. Now, Ryan is here and there. Is it worth it?

"Your Excellency Ryan is really humorous. In this way, I will dissuade my brother and tell him not to do this." The female knight smiled brightly and then set out her own conditions.

"really?"

"of course it's true."

"Okay, I would like to agree to you now, but the current situation does not allow it." Ryan raised his head.

The third-floor conference hall arrived. Outside the terrace, the fine autumn rain moistened the farmland in the wilderness, and a thick invisible darkness surrounded the mountains and forests in the distance.

Within the window, in the conference hall, a small round table was placed in the middle of the conference hall. There were some pastries and drinks on the table, and a large row of candles were burning on the silver candlesticks.

There are only three armchairs placed around the round table. The remaining chairs are temporarily moved and are arranged in two rows some distance from the round table. Duke Francois of Winford and Duke Berhemond of Bastogne are already sitting there. There was only one spot left on the two armchairs.

Julius, Marquis Connelly, Marquis Gabriel and other kingdom knights consciously stepped aside and sat next to them. Seeing this, Sulia also chose a seat closer to the round table.

This is a seat specially reserved for Ryan. Except for him, no one in this castle is qualified to sit on it.

Just because he is the Holy Grail Knight.

This is exactly what the round table is about.

When the first Knight King Arthur and other twelve Holy Grail Knights discussed state affairs, in order to fully consider the opinions of all the knights and to show that there is no distinction between high and low under the glory of the lady, Arthur used a round table. Only on the round table There is no difference in status or distinction between monarch and minister, and everyone is allowed to speak freely.

But the Round Table Conference is harsh. Only the noble Holy Grail Knights are allowed to sit at the Round Table Conference to discuss issues. Other knights can only listen in and are prohibited from interrupting unless allowed. In the course of hundreds of years of development of the Kingdom of Knights, a brand new article was added: if a serf eavesdrops or interrupts, the knights can immediately behead or hang him.

Ryan calmly walked to the round table and sat down, nodding to indicate that he was ready.

"Then let's get started."

Duke Red Dragon and Duke Winford both nodded. This was a meeting between the Knights of the Holy Grail, but everyone knew that Francois must have taken the lead in starting this round table meeting. Berhemond had never been one to take the initiative to express opinions. people.

"First of all, we have to determine the nature of your matter, Ryan." As everyone expected, Francois spoke first: "Bohemond and I both believe that your decision to go straight to the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks There is nothing wrong, your decision is correct both from the battle situation and from a long-term perspective."

The candlelight reflected the faces of the three Holy Grail knights. Whether it was the resolute and vicissitudes of Berhemond, the elegant and calm Francois, or the handsome and handsome Ryan, they all represented the highest achievements of the country's knights—— Complete the Holy Grail Trial, win the recognition of the Lady of the Lake, and become the supreme Holy Grail Knight.

The sacred atmosphere between them fascinated the knights around them.

"Thank you." Ryan didn't say much. It was obvious that he was very calm, which is a rare quality for young people.

"But we cannot ignore the feelings of the king and the dukes. In this chivalry war, they lost their enlisted troops. They lost the excess troops in their territory, more than thirty thousand people, say more, say A lot less." Francois continued: "The decision to not give back aid is destined to make you full of controversy. Sometimes the dukes will not only care about the future of the entire country and mankind, they must consider their own rule and wealth. .”

Ryan remained silent, and Bohemond also spoke. Duke Red Dragon spoke unceremoniously: "First of all, our King Richard must be unhappy with your behavior, because the commander he appointed died in battle. , the chivalry army was annihilated, and as the decision-maker leading this war, the king is undoubtedly responsible."

"At the same time, Duke Darheide of Lyonnais must have criticized your decision a lot. Adelaide is a descendant of his family. His stupidity led to the annihilation of the left army. If the responsibility is not put on you, He and his family are clearly responsible for this war as well."

"The Duke of Lyonnais and His Majesty the King have a marriage relationship. Although their internal opinions may be different, they should still stand on the same front, that is, they advocate that you be punished...or at least a formal punishment."

Ryan understood, and the young Holy Grail Knight nodded, and he continued: "But I brought victory, and I am a Holy Grail Knight. Without the signatures of at least six Holy Grail Knights, the king himself has no right to detain me. , and if you want to punish me, you need at least three Grand Knights of the Holy Grail or Her Highness Morgiana, or even Her Royal Highness and Lady Green Knight to decide in person."

"Exactly." Francois nodded: "But whether it is Richard or Darheide, they all know in their hearts that you are the one who will fight to the death and bring back victory. Not the Knights of the Holy Grail or Her Highness Morgiana. They will care about their family interests or other things, and they will also think that you are doing the right thing. So based on the above analysis, it will not do any good for them to alarm Her Highness Morgiana or even Ms. Morgiana for you, not to mention that you are The Lady’s Chosen Champion.”

Both Bohemond and Ryan nodded. Due to Ryan's special status as Holy Grail Knight and God's Chosen Champion, the path to private punishment has been blocked. There is no benefit in disturbing the Lake Fairy to come out and make a decision. Anyone with a clear mind knows that How would the Knights of the Holy Grail or the Lady of the Lake decide this matter?

"Since you cannot and will not be responsible for the destruction of the chivalry army this time, then based on my understanding of Richard, he cannot be responsible for this matter as the king, then who will be responsible for this matter? The dead one Angie or Adelaide? Or Adelaide's superior, Duke Dalheide?" Francois's elegant face was full of wisdom. He chuckled and shook his head: "No, neither, no one is willing to do it. Responsible for more than 30,000 people and more than 2,000 dead knights.”

"Then, the attitudes of the ten dukes who participated in the war are crucial. How to characterize this war? Is it won or lost? What are your rewards and punishments for Ryan? This will become a benchmark for future punishments, and its core The question is, is it more important to complete the goal of the war? Or is it more important to extend a helping hand to friendly forces in trouble?"

When this question was raised, the three Holy Grail Knights fell silent. This was a dilemma, and it also touched the core of Ryan's incident.

"So, in this matter, we have to find a way to gain more support from the Duke."

"First of all, the easiest target is the 'upright' Louis, Duke of Connet. He is both a Knight of the Holy Grail and a descendant of His Majesty Arthur like us. He has the longest vision. I believe he also recognizes your decision. ." Francois first named the easiest candidate to win over.

"Also, there is some good news recently."

"His legitimate son, Raoun Leo Cornish, has completed the Holy Grail Trial, and soon this great knight who was famous in the kingdom will return."
