king of the castle

Chapter 471 The Duke's Declaration

In the beginning, everyone was indeed overwhelmed by the king's vicious methods. 【】Only a dozen people can be hanged a day for spreading rumors. Anyone's first reaction is naturally fear, and the rumors are quickly extinguished.Just when Alonso III's confidant nobles were complacent, they didn't know that the anger was brewing in the hearts of the people and might erupt at any time, blowing up all the people who were on their heads.

At this time, a statement issued by Roger in the name of the Duke of Hamilton suddenly came from the town of Kent.The seal of the Duke was affixed to this statement, and the seal of Earl Roger Lee, the lord of Kent, fully showed that Roger had clearly stated that he was on the side of the Duke.I don't know how it happened, but hundreds of similar statements were posted all over the streets and alleys of Mandos City in one night, so that everyone in the city knew its content.

This statement first clearly explained the ins and outs of the duke being suspected by the king and conspiring to send him to the Lund Peninsula to die.Then he criticized King Alonso III, pointing out that at the time when the Thorne Kingdom was in turmoil, the Duke of Hamilton was desperately trying to serve the country, but the king used such despicable means to frame him, and he was not worthy of leading the entire country.At the end of the affirmation, the duke called on everyone not to be loyal to Alonso III, the jealous, despicable king, but to unite against his rule and elect another member of the royal family who is capable of taking on the role to inherit the throne.

This statement immediately ignited the fire in everyone's heart.The people felt that they should turn over the fatuous king Alonso III, who had ordered the execution of many commoners who spread rumors not long ago; some nobles worried that they would end up like the duke, and some They want to gain some benefits for themselves in the process of supporting the new king; even many members of the royal family are on Hamilton's side Chance.

Everyone has their own ideas, and their attitudes are very ambiguous.

Although the commoners were frightened by the king's high-handed policy and did not dare to talk about the grievances between Alonso III and the Duke of Hamilton in public, they no longer supported the king as much as before.If there was a war, they would not serve the king with the same determination as before.

And the nobles are not idle, some want to rely on the Duke of Hamilton to keep their current positions, and the more ambitious are secretly colluding, planning to support which royal family member to inherit the throne in case the situation in the kingdom becomes unstable. in order to get the greatest benefit.

And those royal family members who hope to inherit the throne are naturally more excited, and they keep sending servants to contact the nobles who are usually close to them, so as to win more support from the nobles, hoping to get more bargaining chips for themselves to fight for the throne in the future .

In short, after the announcement of the Duke of Hamilton's statement, the seemingly peaceful city of Mandos has actually been undercurrents, and various forces have begun to compete in order to strive for greater benefits for each.

This statement made such a big commotion, and Alonso III naturally knew its content very quickly.This made the king furious again, and immediately ordered the Royal Guards to send people to search the city, tear up and burn all the statements posted on the wall.

At the same time, Alonso III issued another order, stating that the statement was completely slanderous, and even this statement was forged by people with ulterior motives.The king asked everyone not to believe anything in the statement, and announced that hiding or talking about the statement was a felony, and anyone who committed this felony would be sentenced to death

Alonso III's order did not stabilize the situation, but made everyone more convinced of the content of the declaration.Everyone has the same idea about this. If the content of the declaration is false, the king only needs to refute it casually. Why is it necessary to declare that talking about and hiding the declaration are capital offenses?This is clearly a guilty conscience of the king.

As a result, all parties have accelerated their actions, hoping to make preparations before the chaos of the kingdom comes, and to reap more benefits for themselves.Right now, the two sides have not yet started a direct confrontation, and Alonso III's status has begun to be shaken under Roger's careful planning.

At the same time that Mandos City was caught in various conspiracies, Roger was sitting lazily on the balcony of the villa basking in the sun.While admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea in front of him, he thought to himself: Summer is coming, and it’s time to ask Linda to make some bikinis for the girls to wear on the beach.

Thinking of the wonderful scene of beauties with different looks and styles playing in the beach in bikinis, Roger couldn't help but feel happy, and felt that the sun seemed to be brighter than before.But Roger's good mood soon disappeared, because he remembered that he might soon go to war with Alonso III.I don't know how long this battle will last, it may last for a few months, and by then the summer will be over, and it will be impossible for the girls to swim in bikinis.

"It's all that bastard king, he likes to play tricks and threes when he has nothing to do, messing up my plan." Thinking of this, Roger, annoyed, couldn't help but muttered to himself: "We must change the king, such a boss buddy! no more waiting"

"Roger, the number of residents in Kent Town has been counted." Just as Roger was gnashing his teeth and wanted to change the king, Anna's voice sounded behind him: "Some people decided to leave Kent Town temporarily, but some Many people are willing to stay, and the total number of these people is... 620. There are 16 adult men, 12 adult women, and the rest are old people and children."

After the initial grief passed, Anna devoted all her energies to taking care of the estate for Roger.The busy work can make Anna temporarily forget the sadness of losing her father, and it also contributes to helping her father avenge her, so she always enjoys it.

Anna is a shrewd and capable woman, and her ability to govern the territory is better than Bonnie's.Her joining not only improved the work efficiency a lot, but also made Bonnie a lot more relaxed, and she could spare more energy to take care of other things, which was very popular with everyone.

"There are still so many people who refuse to leave. It's pretty good to be the lord of me." Roger said to Anna with a smile: "Okay, tell these residents who don't want to leave, I will guarantee them safe, and these men will all be high-ranking residents of Kent Town after the war"

What Roger said also surprised Anna, she couldn't help but opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked him, "Are you kidding?"
