She Chooses To Destroy the World
Chapter 65: Meet the king.
His Majesty the King wants to see her? How does he know her? What on earth does she have that deserves His Majesty's attention?
Alice was stunned. Then I suddenly remembered that this seemed not the first time His Majesty made such a decision.
When she had just become a special mercenary and revealed her female identity, His Majesty the King seemed to be about to summon her. But because she was a mercenary with no faith, His Majesty finally dispelled this idea. This time the old things are brought up again, perhaps because His Majesty the King has not forgotten the interest he had previously generated. Now that her identity has changed, the people around His Majesty the King will probably no longer stop His Majesty from seeing her.
Although this incident surprised Alice, it didn't make her nervous. She thought that His Majesty the King was probably curious for a while, wondering what a woman would be like as a mercenary and knight. As for what clothes should be worn to see the king... there is nothing special to consider. After all, her identity is the guard of the knight and the duchess, so she only needs to wear guard clothes.
However, before leaving the next day, Alice thought for a long time, and she still put on the pendant she bought from "The Crow".
According to the general saying, His Majesty the King is the endorsement of the God of Light in the world. If you want to face His Majesty, you should be more cautious.
Everything was ready, Alice followed the Duchess and Miss Miranda into the palace.
Before that, Alice had passed in front of the palace many times, but never thought that she would walk into it one day. The palace always leaves people with a magnificent impression, especially at night, all the windows in the palace will show lights, enough to illuminate the small half of the capital. For most ordinary people who are not of aristocratic background, being able to see the king is a lifetime thing to brag about. But perhaps it is because Alice has been far away from the mainstream society all year round. This kind of public interest does not make her so excited to sleep. Generally speaking, this time she followed the duchess to the court, although she was a little bit Curious, but not particularly excited.
Although Miss Miranda is about the same age as her, her attitude towards this matter is completely different. As far as Alice knows, last night, the duchess' maids gathered around her, choosing clothes for her for half the night. Alice somewhat sympathizes with Miss Miranda. A few days ago, the Duchess rejected her request to learn swords from Alice. In this way, the most interesting thing in her life would be to meet with the king. .
Fortunately, for Miss Miranda, who came from a remote area, it was exciting to see the king.
The Duchess allowed Miss Miranda to use the jewelry she used when she was young on this day. Her maids had excellent aesthetics and skillful hands, and they dressed Miss Miranda exceptionally. Miss Miranda received a good education at this time. Walking in the palace, she looked dignified and steady, no worse than any lady who was born as a king, but the excitement that could not be concealed in her eyes revealed the fact that she entered the palace for the first time.
However, no matter who sees such a young and lovely lady excited in the court, he probably won't laugh at her.
For His Majesty the King, the Duchess is a very important guest. Therefore, their audience is ranked first, and there is no need to wait. The attendants in the palace led the duchess and his party to the king's living room. They walked in front of a large group of people waiting to see them, and got a lot of jealous eyes.
Alice followed the duchess and them into the King's Audience Hall and saw His Majesty the King for the first time.
His Majesty the King is about forty years old, with fair skin and dazzling blond hair. Compared with other noble men of the same age, His Majesty the King's figure is very well maintained. It can be seen that he cares about his handsome appearance and absolutely refuses to let it have a little imperfection.
The Duchess and His Majesty are old acquaintances, and they have known each other when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince. At that time, the duchess was only the daughter of an earl, and her identity as a crown prince was very different. But now she is already a duke with a vast territory. Although she is still a vassal of the king in name, she can actually sit on an equal footing with His Majesty the King.
Perhaps because they have known each other for a long time, His Majesty the King is very relaxed in front of her, slouching lazily on the throne. It is hard to imagine a king sitting in this posture, but, after all, he is a king and he can be him. Anything you want to do.
The crowd saluted him, and His Majesty the King waved his hand.
"Please sit down, please sit down." He said, "There are no outsiders here, so we shouldn't obey those red tapes. Is this your niece?"
"It's the niece of the late Duke Felix," said the duchess. "This child was born in the country, and this is the first time he has come to the capital."
The duchess did not tell the king the reason for bringing Miss Miranda to the royal capital, but it was obvious. The king nodded and stopped briefly looking at Miss Miranda for a while, but still spoke to the duchess. :
"The Felix family looks pretty good. This niece must fascinate all the princes and brothers of the royal capital. It's a pity that the Duke himself has no heirs, otherwise West Felix's situation would be better than it is now. ."
The Duchess shrugged slightly:
"His Majesty also said that there are no outsiders here, so the scenes should be adequate. As far as I can see, you don't like seeing Cefelix in a unified state. A completely legal heir will only give you a headache."
This is of course true. With the king’s inability to control the southern region, the unification of West Felix can only become a problem for the king. If it weren't for the fact that the duchess had no heirs and was born in the royal capital, His Majesty the King might have sent someone to assassinate her.
"Haha, haha." His Majesty smirked twice, "Sylvie is always like this, and he doesn't talk about affection at all."
Sylvie was the name of the Duchess before her marriage, and His Majesty the King called out her real name at this time, apparently trying to get closer.
"You don't need to tell me this." The duke smiled and said, "I once promised to your majesty that I will never betray your majesty in my lifetime, but if I die, what happens next is not what I can say. That's it."
"Of course, of course." His Majesty is also smiling, not at all embarrassed by the conversation just now, "The duchess was born in the royal capital and is also the daughter of Earl Quint. How can I not believe you."
The duke nodded, and said nothing. After such a confrontation just now, the atmosphere in the meeting room is somewhat subtle. His Majesty the King seemed determined to change the subject and turned his attention to Alice:
"This one is your famous knight Alice, right? To my surprise, you actually gave her your maiden name. I think you really love this child too much."
"It's nothing to make a fuss about," the Duchess said softly. "This era is not as good as before. How can you keep people without being sincere?"
His Majesty laughed:
"Look at what you said, you pried her away from the Mercenary Guild, Count Rachel is not very happy."
Earl Rachel was not happy about this, which obviously made His Majesty the King very happy, and when he talked about this topic, he seemed excited again.
The Duchess curled her lips, her tone was mean:
"Rachel can't keep people, it's his own problem."
The duke's expression and tone greatly pleased the king, and he laughed.
"Only when I am with you can I say bad things about Rachel." After saying this, he stopped, his smile stopped, his expression looked a little sad, "The people around me will only remind me to pay attention. Words and deeds, don’t say anything that would upset Earl Rachel. I really don’t know how much Earl Rachel usually gives them. Do you think if I pay double the price, I can make them change their minds?"
"First of all, as far as I know, about half of the money in His Majesty’s treasury is given by Earl Rachel." The Duchess pointed out, "Secondly, the people around His Majesty are loyal to His Majesty. Saying that is nothing but In order to make your Majesty’s life better."
"Forget it, forget it." His Majesty waved his hand in annoyance, "Now there is no one else here, so don't talk about loyalty. You and I know that I'm just an empty air, but the high priest. The tool man who played with Lord Rachel. Where is the orthodoxy of the so-called God of Light? No one takes me as a king seriously."
The topic turned to the part that made His Majesty unhappy. The Duchess understood the king's temper. She just looked at the king and smiled, waiting for him to get better.
While the duchess was talking to the king, Alice kept looking at the king.
Alice didn't understand the conversation between them, so she was gone now. She looked at His Majesty the King, feeling very familiar, and quietly wondered in her heart whether His Majesty's appearance resembled any person she knew.
She pondered for a while before she realized that the color of His Majesty's hair and skin was exactly the same as that of Master Etienne. If he was twenty years younger, he would look exactly like Master Etienne. It's just that Etienne-sama's expression is always so serious, almost never the same, very different from the king's expression, she didn't think of it at the first time.
It's incredible that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
Alice was still thinking about the similarities between the faces of His Majesty the King and Lord Etienne, but did not notice that the topic of His Majesty the King had shifted again:
"Stop talking about Rachel, it makes me sad to mention that person's name. It's clear that I am his king, but he has to say that he has other loyal masters... This is not good for unity. We still say you The young knight snatched from him...before I saw her in person, I had never expected her to be so funny...In my opinion, she is a bit like a Flammel family member. Lilielle ,dont you agree?"
As the king said, he tilted his head to the left to ask people's opinions.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A woman's voice came from behind His Majesty's throne, and Alice realized that besides the three of them and His Majesty, there was a woman here. This woman sat in the shadow of His Majesty the King’s throne, and never said a word. Alice hadn’t even noticed her presence before.
This made Alice feel a little panic. She was a guard. As a guard, when she entered a strange room, she didn't even notice a few people in the room. It was a failure.
"Judging from the color of this girl's hair, she is completely from the Flamel family, Your Majesty." said the woman called Lilière. She poked her head out of the shadows, revealing a particularly pale face and red hair on the sideburns, and Alice was surprised to find that she actually had the same hair color as her own.
"And you have become a knight." The king laughed. "But you still wear the Necklace of the Night God on your neck, which is really wonderful. I really like this sense of dislocation, this kind of thing. Make this world a lot more interesting."
"What? I don't understand." Alice looked at the king blankly, and at the woman behind the king, she whispered, "What does the Flamel family do?"
