king of the castle

Chapter 134 Fernando Alonso III

"The situation is worse than I imagined. 【】" Having intimate contact with Roger last night, Anna became more casual when facing Roger, and said to him as soon as she opened her mouth: "Vettel gathered a lot of people at today's meeting The imperial meeting opposed any commendation for you, and several people even said that you fought against the army of undead at the Lindun pass was a lie you fabricated, asking His Majesty the king to punish you for falsely claiming military exploits, it is really irritating!"

Unlike Anna who was filled with righteous indignation, Roger looked very calm, and said to the angry Duke's daughter: "Anna, you are really beautiful, even when you are angry!"

"Ah, thank you for your compliment." Roger's compliment made Anna both happy and shy, but she quickly realized that she was dissatisfied and said to Roger, "We are discussing your future, what are you thinking about?"

Roger was moved by Anna's concern, and smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about it, as long as I can meet the king in private, I'm sure enough to persuade him to give me the reward I deserve."

"I can arrange this." Anna readily agreed to Roger's request, but she quickly asked Roger vigilantly, "Are you trying to hold His Majesty the King hostage and force him to give you the reward?"

Unexpectedly, Anna would say that, Roger was silent for a while before asking depressedly: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Seeing Roger's sullen look, Anna couldn't help but chuckled softly. At that moment, Roger felt that the whole room became brighter because of her smile.

Anna also noticed that there was something wrong with Roger's own eyes. Thinking of the close contact between the two last night, she felt a little flustered for no reason, and quickly stood up and said: "I will arrange for you to meet with His Majesty the King in private tomorrow, now... I have to go Already!"

Anna's ability to handle affairs was indeed very strong, so she arranged for Roger a private meeting with the king the next afternoon, and the place was in the king's small study.The small study is the place where the king usually rests and meets his entourages. He can meet Roger here, which is enough to explain some problems.

The Royal Palace is also located in the wealthy area in the south of Mandos City, and its scale is much larger than the Duke's Mansion where Anna lives.The Royal Palace itself is a strong castle in Roger's Landing, and the city walls are even higher than that of Mandos City. If there is a war, it is definitely more difficult to conquer the Royal Palace than to capture Mandos City.

Anna usually goes in and out of the palace. Under her leadership, Roger successfully passed the guard post of the palace guard and entered the hub of the Thorn Kingdom.

The palace was not as magnificent as Roger imagined, and the decoration inside was even a bit simple by the standards of a big country.However, the tall dome and straight long corridors still make the palace look solemn and solemn. Even Roger, a man who has no respect for the king, is not as formal as usual when he comes here.

Roger led by Anna to the small study, quietly waiting for the king's arrival.The wait didn't last too long, and soon another door in the study opened, and a slender, handsome young man walked in.

This man has blond hair and fair skin, the characteristics of an old aristocratic standard. His handsome face always seems to have a smile, and his gray eyes flash with wisdom from time to time.It is not necessary for Anna to introduce Roger. He must be the current King Fernando Alonso III of the Thorne Kingdom.

Now that he is in the world of Torenzo, Roger can only do as the Romans do, saluting to Alonso according to the rules taught by Anna before.

The king seemed to be very talkative when he went up. After Roger finished his salute, Alonso immediately walked up and patted him on the shoulder: "You are Roger Lee, right? I have heard about you a lot recently. You did a great job outside the Linton pass, if only there were more heroes like you in the kingdom!"

If other people were treated so affectionately by the king, they would be overwhelmed with gratitude, and they might even lose their composure on the spot and be speechless.But Roger didn't have much respect for the king at first, so he behaved very naturally at this time, and just smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, you are flattering me. At that time, I was just struggling to survive. Anyone would did that."

Roger's indifferent performance immediately made Alonso and Anna look up to him. It is not something ordinary people can do to behave so calmly when meeting the king for the first time.

This discovery made the smile on Alonso's face even happier. He sat down on the chair behind the desk and said, "Roger, you are too modest. It is not something anyone can do to make tens of thousands of undead army disappear. It is because of your efforts that the Linton pass was prevented from being captured by the army of undead, which is really a great contribution."

Anna and Alonso are very familiar. Hearing this, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "What's the use of making great achievements? It's not because those people can't even get rewards..."

After listening to Anna's words, Alonso's blissful face darkened, and he was also very dissatisfied with this matter.He obviously regarded Roger as one of his own, and whispered to Anna: "These guys are too much. Sooner or later, their titles will be cut and they will be demoted to common people."

"The sooner the better!" Anna naturally hated those people, and immediately continued: "As long as you give the order, the Privy Council will definitely support it."

Having said this, Alonso seemed to hesitate again, shaking his head and said dejectedly: "This matter needs to be well planned, and acting recklessly will definitely cause the Vater faction to counterattack, and instead, it will be a big problem for the Vatel faction. We are at a disadvantage!"

Roger was listening to the conversation between the two, and his mind was spinning various thoughts quickly, and he roughly guessed the current situation very quickly.In fact, this matter is not complicated at all, it is nothing more than the factional struggles within the kingdom and the old practice of Quan Gaozhen, the powerful minister.

Now Anna and her father, the Duke of Hamilton, obviously support the king, and the Minister of Military Affairs, Vettel, is their opponent.As the minister in charge of all affairs, Vettel does have this strength. If he gathers some other powerful ministers in the kingdom, it is not impossible to fight against the king.

At the same time, Roger also came out, and Alonso also deliberately showed weakness.The king deliberately let the people on the side of the Minister of Military Affairs suppress Roger, in order to further intensify the contradiction between Hamilton and Vettel, and he himself can consolidate his position in the struggle between the two factions. Simply put, this is the king's It's just a balancing act.

There is not much difference between Roger's test and the facts, and this is indeed the case in Thorn Kingdom.Perhaps for the civilians living in the world of Turonzo, the mystery of wearing it is simply more difficult than feeling the magic element.But for Roger who came from the earth, similar things have appeared several times in history books and on TV, and it is simply a piece of cake to make such a test.

"Well, you king wants to balance, right?" Roger thought to himself while Alonso was making a frustrated expression, "Wait until I tell you the news, how can you balance!"
