Demon Royal Family

He got on the chamberlain's carriage and entered the palace all the way.

On the way, Ivo guessed that the king had called him for his purpose. He had already been awarded at the award ceremony, so was there any benefit?

But it might not be a good thing. Ivo thought of Daimari who was injured by him. Under normal circumstances, a commoner like him would definitely be sent to the gallows if he hurt a noble. Because there is a league of fair competition as a background, he His behavior does not violate the law, but the Delen family has threatened to deal with him, which cannot be ignored.

The palace is heavily guarded, and there are many powerful auras hidden in the darkness.

After a brief interrogation, Ivo came to the king's study and met Severn III.

Ivo asked: "What do you want from me?"

At this time, the king's temperament was completely different from that in front of the people. Now he was full of majesty and went directly to the topic, saying: "I hope you can withdraw your challenge to the Royal Academy."

Ivo's eyes widened and he thought rapidly in his mind, guessing the intention of Severn III's move.

But before he could think of it, the king directly gave the answer: "The Royal Academy is a semi-national aristocratic academy. It has always been the cradle of talents in the kingdom, and it will still be the same in the future. As the winner of this league, you have a great influence. , I don’t want the public to be misled by you, and I want to ensure that the reputation of the Royal Academy is not affected, so I hope you can withdraw your challenge statement.”

The King’s intention is for Ivo to give up challenging the Royal Academy. Judging from the performance of this league, the King believes that the possibility of Ivo’s challenge is not low enough to be ignored. He is worried that the reputation of the semi-national Royal Academy will be hit hard as a result. , which was the first reason for his move.

The second is to take into account Mai Xibo's ideas. The interests of the nobles are closely related. Mai Xibo secretly hopes that he will come forward. Mai Xibo has always been a die-hard supporter of the king's faction, so this favor must be given.

Third, he felt that it was very simple to make Ivo give up the challenge. In his eyes, Ivo could be easily dismissed with some benefits.

"As compensation, I can grant you some requests and let you choose a treasure from my royal inventory." The king gave generous terms. The royal inventory is the accumulated heritage of a kingdom, and there will definitely be no shortage of good things in it. .

But Ivo shook his head and refused.

"Why?" The king's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I promised to challenge the Royal Academy and I will not break my promise." Ivo said.

"A promise with no practical meaning, a childish promise to fight. If you give up these, you can get a treasure. Children, be smart and make a clear choice like an adult." The king said calmly.

Ivo still shook his head, "I am a man of my word."

"My child, many things can be solved easily, so why bother yourself?" the king said solemnly, with a hint of threat in his tone.

Ivo looked firm and said resolutely: "It's not me who is embarrassing me, but you. You want to get rid of me with some benefits. Such a behind-the-scenes deal is despicable!"

Intimidation and inducement may make many people abandon their promises, but Ivo is not willing to be such a person. He just doesn't want to give in.

Challenging the Royal Academy may be an act of anger, but once he has said it, it is a spilled water, and he will never take it back.

He will seek justice himself, and he is a man of his word.

Ivo understands that disobeying the king will lead to many undesirable consequences. He is facing the most powerful person in the kingdom, but he becomes more stubborn because of it. Although he usually does not look upright, when things happen, he The reaction was the strongest. He was an unyielding die-hard at heart.

You can take revenge on me, but I will never ask for mercy.

Severn III showed no emotion or anger. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he did not show any expression on his face.

He believed that Ivo would surrender to him. In this kingdom, he was the king with supreme authority.

Not enough words to speculate.

After leaving the palace, Ivo felt heavy. Although the king did not appear angry, he knew that the king must have follow-up methods. Such powerful people generally would not give up until they achieved their goals.

…

The next few days were uneventful.

But this calm was soon broken.

On this day Ivo came to the principal's office. Polanco was smoking a pipe with a sad face, filled with smoke.

"What's wrong with you?" Ivo glanced at him in surprise. In his mind, Polanco had been smiling every day since the league victory. Why did he look like his parents had died today... But Polanco is already in his fifties and sixties, dad. It's normal for mom to die.

Polanco pushed the paper on the table in front of Ivo. Ivo picked it up and took a look. It was a plan for the expansion of the college. The area was three times larger, there were many more facilities, and the expenses were huge. Hundreds of new students would be added. The tuition fees are not enough.

"Are you stupid for making such a big plan when you have no money?" Ivo was speechless.

Upon hearing this, Polanco pushed another piece of paper over. Ivo took a look at it and let out a cry of surprise. On it was the approval document and amount statistics of the royal support. The amount was huge, enough to support the expansion plan.

Polanco said depressedly: "The number of students is increasing rapidly, and the college's facilities are not enough. The expansion project has begun, but the city hall has been holding back the support funds. We lack funds and the project cannot be delayed. I go to the city hall every day. I asked, but the city manager kept ignoring me."

Ivo was stunned: "You dare to deduct the royal support fund. Do you want the money without being an official? This is the money issued by the royal family. You can react to it later."

Polanco said helplessly: "The superiors above me didn't see me at all."

Ivo let out a long oh, and he understood a little bit in his heart. I am afraid this is what the king meant, and it is not the hurricane academy but him.

Use power to suppress others!

He frowned. This kind of power and oppression was difficult to defeat. Even if he wanted to stir up public opinion, it would not be enough to influence the king.

The king is different from those great nobles. The Lassese royal family is extremely popular among the people.

His opponent is the king of a country, and unless he also has a corresponding status, there is no way to reason.

Ivo looked ugly. The king did not deal with him directly, but made things difficult for the college with administrative procedures. Even if the funding problem was solved, the city hall could still take back the land approval, making it impossible for the college to expand. It would be too easy for the king to mess with them, just one sentence It’s a matter of words.

In fact, he could ignore the fact that the academy was making things difficult for him, but his character meant that he could not remain indifferent.

"What a disgusting method." Ivo cursed secretly, and his brain was thinking of solutions quickly.

There are two strategies for Ivo to deal with trouble, attack by force and outsmarting him. When dealing with a king surrounded by experts, there is no need to consider attacking by force, he can only outsmart him.

The best way to deal with the powerful class is to get help from other powerful classes.

He thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "It seems that we can only find Talper."
