king of the castle

Chapter 388

"Dangerous? How is it possible?!" Anna opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, and asked Roger puzzledly, "Father has no rivals in the entire kingdom, so how could there be any danger?"

"It's because he has no enemies, so he's dangerous." Roger lamented to himself that people in this world are too slow for all kinds of conspiracies, while patiently explaining to Anna: "Now, except for Alonso III, your father He is the most powerful person in this country. In some respects, his influence is even greater than that of the king. Do you think...with the character of Alonso III, would you allow such a thing to happen?"

What Roger said made Anna calm down a little, and she hesitated to speak for her father: "But... His Majesty and Father used to have a very good relationship."

"That was before." Roger pointed out mercilessly: "At that time, Alonso III had to rely on your father to fight against Vettel and the Barton family. Naturally, he stood on the same front as your father. Now his biggest opponent is Your father, do you still expect the relationship between the two to be the same as before?"

Roger's words made Anna feel a sense of fear. She couldn't help but burrowed into his arms and asked in a low voice, "What do you think we should do?"

"Decentralization!" Roger said decisively: "Giving up all the power of the high-level kingdom and returning to the territory for the elderly, the king will naturally not have any suspicion of your father."

The methods Roger mentioned were too sensational. Anna looked at him in astonishment and said, "You want my father to give up all the things he has worked hard for in recent decades? It's simply impossible!"

What Anna said definitely represented Duke Hamilton's thoughts.When nothing is imminent, how many people are willing to give up the power gained through hard work and even risking their lives?In fact, if it weren't for the absolute trust in Roger, Anna would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives in persuading her this way, and that he definitely wanted to replace her father.

Anna's reaction made Roger shake his head and smile wryly.He didn't blame Anna for not believing in himself. How many people on earth can retreat bravely?In the world of Torenzo, with far fewer intrigues, there are even fewer people who can be prepared for danger.People like the Duke of Hamilton, in particular, were obsessed with power, otherwise they wouldn't have insisted on fighting against the Vettel and Patton families until now.At present, all political opponents have finally been defeated. The Duke of Hamilton's status in the kingdom is already under one person and under ten thousand people. At this time, he is required to voluntarily give up the power he has acquired. Most people cannot do this.

Seeing that Roger was silent, Anna felt a little uneasy, and quickly leaned on his chest and explained softly: "My dear, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that my father has no ambition to fight for the throne. He has expressed his desire to His Majesty many times. Thoughts, Your Majesty shouldn't be against father, right?"

Roger really wanted to tell Anna that maybe Duke Hamilton didn't have such big ambitions, but Alonso III would never take the risk of leaving such a big threat by his side.But before Roger could speak, he suddenly felt an indescribable tiredness, and he waved his hand vigorously to Anna and said, "Forget it, let's not discuss this issue. You just need to tell your father what I said. As for what to do?" Do it, it's all up to your father himself."

Anna heard Roger's dissatisfaction, and nodded obediently: "I will definitely tell my father what you said, as for..."

"As for the final result, let's follow the arrangement of the Supreme God." Roger said in a low spirited way: "I have already rejected the king's request for me to be Minister of Military Affairs, and I will go back to Kent in a few days..."

"You rejected the post of Minister of Military Affairs?!" Roger's words surprised Anna, she couldn't help but sat up and stared at him, "Do you know what this means?"

Looking at Anna's beautiful upper body, Roger said with a faint smile: "For me, this means a peaceful life. I don't have to intrigue and calculate others every day, and I don't have to worry about what other people will come up with against me. I can really enjoy myself. life……"

Roger's calm tone made Anna gradually calm down, and after facing him for a long time, she snuggled into Roger's arms again and said quietly: "Maybe you are right, it is not a bad thing to enjoy a peaceful life, but I Must stay and assist my father, who..."

"There is a saying in my hometown, 'everyone has his own aspirations'." Roger smiled slightly at Anna, "I respect your choice, anyway, it's not like we can never see each other, as long as I want, I can come here anytime you want .”

Anna, who has always shown herself as a strong woman, rarely showed a weak demeanor, she put her head on Roger's chest and whispered: "I really want to go to Kent Town with you, the villa you designed yourself, and play with you on the beach ..."

"There will always be a chance, as long as you are willing, you can come to Kent Town at any time." Roger hugged Anna tightly and said, "If you have any troubles in the future, please use the phone number to notify me, and I will definitely arrive as quickly as possible around you."

Anna's eyes glistened with crystal tears: "You...why are you so kind to me?"

"Because you are my woman!" Roger patted Anna's firm buttocks lightly and said, "Anyone who dares to fight against my woman is against me. How could I stand by and watch?"

Anna was very moved by Roger's words, and she gave her sweetheart a fiery kiss to express her feelings at this time.It took a long time before their lips parted reluctantly. Anna lowered her head and whispered, "I'm going back now. I want to tell father what you said earlier."

Seeing that Anna still listened to some of his own words, Roger nodded gratifiedly and said: "Remember, if your father is unwilling to give up the power in his hand, you should also remind him to keep a low profile when doing things, and don't compete with the king unless you agree in principle. The more relaxed the relationship with the king, the stronger his position will be, and naturally the safer it will be."

"I remember." Anna agreed while getting dressed, and finally kissed Roger before leaving in a hurry.Roger's words disturbed the Duke's daughter, and she just wanted to tell her father what her sweetheart said as soon as possible.In fact, if Anna was allowed to choose, she would rather her father give up all his positions and return to the land to live a peaceful life.However, she also knows that with her father's personality, she would never do that. Anna only hopes that Roger's words can attract his father's attention. If something terrible happens, the family's situation will not be bad. to an unmanageable level.

Seeing Anna's slender figure leave the room, Roger let out a long sigh and said, "I hope old Hamilton understands what I mean, alas... I've done my best, and I'm going back to Kent tomorrow!"
