Gore is an ordinary palace guard.
To be fair, this job actually pays pretty well. He was able to serve as a palace guard, thanks to his uncle who was the former deputy commander of the palace guard.
However, considering that his uncle has been out of office for many years, the only thing he can help him with is this position that is more than enough for him but not enough for him.
However, relying solely on this job is completely unable to support yourself in living the life you want.
He also wanted to be like his colleagues, who could go to the pub to hug each other and spend a lot of money during their vacation.
But when on duty, everyone is obviously wearing the same uniform, doing the same job, and even receiving the same salary... However, once it's time to take a vacation, you have to reveal your true colors.
He was even afraid of someone asking him to socialize.
Because he is completely unlike those aristocratic children who have no worries about food and drink at home and come to the palace as guards just to gain seniority.
Having lost his father when he was young, the only person he could rely on in the family was his uncle.
But after all, he was just an uncle, not a father.
Even though his previous position was not considered low, the uncle had already left the center of power for many years. Even if he still had some energy left, he would only devote himself to cultivating his own children - or so Gore thought.
Realizing this made him depressed for a long time.
Perhaps the gods could not bear to let such a good young man sink into such a sinking state. Finally, one day when it was his turn to be on duty, he accidentally caught a maid eavesdropping on His Majesty the King's conversation.
Gore, who was so blessed at that moment, did not expose her behavior on the spot. Instead, he tried to find a way to talk to the maid, hoping that she could open up a new path for him.
After all... those who have the courage to spy on His Majesty the King will never be ordinary people.
At that time, the maid was shocked and frightened when she found out that she had been discovered.
But in the end, she agreed to introduce herself to the big shot behind her.
Who is the one? Gore was both expectant and excited.
He guessed all the princes and ministers, and even the two princes were included in his consideration.
Speaking of this meeting, the person he was most looking forward to meeting was of course His Royal Highness Prince Richard.
——If you can take this opportunity to hug Prince Richard's lap, you might be able to gain immense power right in front of you!
Following the maid who had changed her clothes, and looking at the nearby street lights, his heart became even warmer.
…
Facts have proven that the more you expect something to happen, the less likely it will be.
Looking at the veiled girl sitting in the middle of the box, Gore's brain shut down for several seconds.
who I am? where are you now? What are you going to do?
"wait wait wait."
He looked at the maid who brought him here and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it because you don't want to see me? I have obviously obtained extremely critical information as you requested!"
The maid glanced at Ge Li, whose expression remained unchanged, and then walked to stand next to her.
"This person is the big man behind me," she said.
Gore sneered: "That's ridiculous! Do you think you can coax me like this?!"
The person I expected and dared to plan such a thing should not be such a young girl at all!
He felt that he had been cheated, and his tone became less respectful.
"Presumptuous!" Ge Li slammed the cup in his hand on the table, making a muffled "thud" sound.
In an instant, the air in the box seemed to be still.
It was as if some indescribable existence was looking at him, making him unable to move or breathe.
Gore felt that even his heart seemed to be squeezed by something and might burst at any time.
His face turned red, his eyes became bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking as if he had lost control.
Keenly aware of this person's abnormal changes, Ge Li was slightly confused at first, and then fell completely silent.
She knew that even though she didn't realize it, Wayne had already taken action.
After realizing it, it seemed that even the atmosphere in the box had changed in an instant, and heavy pressure seemed to envelope everyone on the field.
It seemed like it was only a short moment, but it seemed like an eternity had passed, and that strange sense of oppression disappeared.
Gore exhaled suddenly, as if all the bones in his body had been removed, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Cold sweat had soaked him all over.
He had no doubt that at that moment, he was 100% walking back and forth at the gate of hell.
Trying his best to mobilize what little strength he had left, Gore pressed his head against the floor. "Your Excellency... Your Excellency, I just offended you. I will give you the information you want."
…
After successfully obtaining the content of the latest conversation between the king and Prince Richard, Song Li waved her hand gently, and asked the maid who looked much more frightened to take away Gore, who had barely regained some strength.
Only then did Wayne come out of the cubicle.
"That maid knows your true identity, right?" he asked.
"Yeah." Song Li said.
"To be precise, she is an insider arranged by my father a long time ago, but what happened this time was just to fulfill my order."
After knowing the inside story that most people would never know, Song Li looked thoughtful.
"Could it be that the reason why you associate with Tasia is because of her magical potential and her relationship with the church?" Song Li seemed to understand a little.
Wayne denied with a black face, "No."
"Just because she's my friend."
Ge Li turned her head and glanced at him disbelievingly.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wayne squeezed in and sat down next to her, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing asking about the conversation between the king and Richard?"
It seemed that this was not at the request of Minister Franz, but simply because she wanted to know.
"You won't suffer any loss if you know it anyway, right?" She said noncommittally.
Wayne was speechless.
“Did you know there’s a saying: Curiosity killed the cat?”
"Sometimes knowing too many secrets is not a good thing."
This is definitely what he said from the bottom of his heart.
But Ge Li frowned and said, "Are you scolding me for His Majesty the King?"
"No, I am admonishing you based on my experience." Wayne said.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then Geli reluctantly explained: "Sometimes, when I see my father trying so hard to please the king, I want to find out what kind of person he is loyal to."
Wayne didn't know how to evaluate such an act of seeking death.
If something went wrong and was exposed, wouldn't it be a complete act of cheating? Fortunately, I am here.
"——So, have you got the answer now?"
