Wayne was pulled by Mrs. Cherry and climbed to the second floor of this attic building with exquisite architectural craftsmanship. Turning around the corner of the stairs, there is a gorgeously decorated winding corridor. The light sources on both sides are very bright, and the gold-plated utensils can be seen everywhere.
"Since you two have important matters, please forgive me for not entertaining you well." Mrs. Cherry said this and gently knocked on a door at the end of the corridor.
"Come in." An honest voice came from inside. Mrs. Cherry pushed open the door sideways and made an inviting gesture to Echos and Bulwer.
The moment he opened the door, Wayne scanned the entire room. The space was larger than he had imagined before. From the furnishings inside, it could be seen that it was specially used for entertaining guests.
A middle-aged man with calm eyes sat behind the desk, his eyes stayed on Ecos for a second, and then stood up.
"Is this Miss Echos?" He said hello with a tone of voice that was hard to hear. He walked to the guest sofa closer to the door and motioned for the two guests to sit down.
The moment he saw this middle-aged man, Wayne frowned deeply. This person is none other than George II, the most supreme monarch of the Kingdom of St. Lornes.
However, that is not actually his real name. But after he ascended the throne, he inherited the title in memory of his father, George I.
In the past few years, although Wayne had not dealt with him directly, he had met the king several times at some large celebrations or banquets.
As a king, even if his power does not reach the level of doing whatever he wants, any disturbance that happens around him is still likely to trigger a political storm.
Wayne couldn't help but ponder. In this manor,
What is the meaning behind "Ecos"'s private meeting with His Majesty the King?
"This is the master to whom I am truly loyal—His Majesty the Great King of the Kingdom of St. Lornes." The middleman Bulwer introduced.
He didn't seem to have any psychological pressure at all when he said these disgusting compliments. At this time, George II sat at the top without hesitation; Bulwer deliberately walked around and sat on the opposite side.
Seeing this, Wayne casually sat down on the nearest sofa at hand. Mrs. Cherry poured them three cups of tea herself, then quietly withdrew, leaving room for them to discuss matters.
"Bulwer has recommended Miss Echos to me many times, saying that you are a rare talent. It's a pity that until recently, I didn't have some free time to avoid those annoying ministers." The king was just doing his usual business. , and started chatting with Ecos.
Wayne had no choice but to emphasize again: "Just call me Echos." Gan! Should I leak the news that Echos is a man?
The friendly smile on Wang Guo's face paused for a moment, but with his experience, he quickly covered up this little embarrassment.
"Okay." He asked as if he mentioned it casually: "By the way, how old are you, Ecos? It seems that you are only a little older than my twin sons." Wayne: Be alert. .jpg Could this guy have some shady ideas?
He pretended to be just like those powerful magicians who lived alone and had weird personalities. He put on a haughty look and openly ignored the king's most kind words.
"No comment." His tone was cold. The atmosphere in the reception room was very tense. Seeing that these two people couldn't talk anymore, Bulwer hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
"Your Excellency Ecos is not very good at dealing with human affairs, please don't blame your Majesty." Although the king's magic power is not very strong, he is nominally the co-master of all noble magicians in the entire kingdom, and can theoretically issue king's orders. , mobilizing all the nobles in the country to fight for him.
In terms of status alone, his dignity is equal to the dignity of the kingdom and cannot be offended. Even - from the moment of his coronation, His Majesty the King has assumed divinity.
Of course, this is the theory preached by the church. After accepting the coronation ceremony of the Archbishop, it meant that the king was chosen by God and became His favored person, thus gaining the protection of the King of Kings.
With the steps provided by Bulwer, George II walked down the slope and covered up the awkward conversation with a hearty laugh.
After that, Wayne also maintained an unsociable posture and didn't say anything. Most of the time, he just listened silently to the conversation between the king and Bulwer.
Bulwer reported his work plan for this period of time to the ears of George II in great detail.
Under his clear and logical explanation, George II's interest was aroused again, and his slight hesitation disappeared.
If you can take a magician with the strength of Echos under your command, it won't be a big deal if you lose a little face.
"Very well, you did a good job." The king praised. Therefore, with Bulwer's efforts to turn the tide, this meeting generally achieved good results.
The guests and hosts enjoy themselves. After thinking about what kind of career he could create with the help of many talented people, the king finally seemed to notice the passage of time.
"It's getting dark now," he said. Bulwer understood, stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"It's getting late, and I've unknowingly disturbed your rest time, so I'll take my leave first, Mr. Ecos." After a few false words of apology, the king allowed them to leave.
"Cherry, give this to my two beloveds." He asked. After the group left the room for a while, he held the cold tea and leaned against the window to observe the downstairs through the gap.
Although Echos didn't cooperate with his polite corporal attitude, these were actually small details.
She just needs to be willing to contribute. These days, it's not easy to find a great magician in the royal capital who doesn't have a preset alignment.
Since the inheritance of magical knowledge is almost exclusively carried out among the nobles, and those favors and grudges are accumulated with power from generation to generation, naturally the various aristocratic families have formed intricate and complex relationships, and even he, the king, has a headache from this.
It's just a matter of overt and covert fighting among the nobles. Even between monarchs and ministers, when they clearly test each other's bottom line, they lose their sense of awe.
This is also the reason why he prefers to appoint officials with lower backgrounds. In order to advance further in their official career, these people will be more informed and knowledgeable than the great nobles who are born to be superior.
Mobile version: s:// But not... If he is slightly unsatisfied, he will often unite with other nobles and force him to bow his head with various old rules of the kingdom.
Seeing Mrs. Cherry chatting with Ecos downstairs for a long time before sending the two people into the carriage, George II raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly.
