But now, Cook can only hope that the Queen can fulfill that promise as a joke.
If the queen really just joked and didn't take it seriously, it would be over.
Cook still felt the need to give it a try.
Luck.......is also a part of strength.Seeing whether Lady Luck is on your side is also an important factor in judging whether the plan will succeed.
It is precisely because of this opportunity to meet the queen that this task can only be done by Cook.
After raising the phosphorous smoke, Cook stayed in the house for almost an hour bored.
The room was so silent that only the sound of breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
Finally, in Cook's infinite expectation, the silence of the room was broken by the sound of the door opening.
Cook immediately cheered up, his heart was beating violently due to two completely different moods of excitement and nervousness.
Cook knelt down on one knee to greet the opponent.
A familiar voice entered Cook's ears.
"You guy, you actually asked me to come out. Your courage is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know when this is? I'm so busy that I don't have time to play games with you...... If it's something boring, even if it's my promise, I won't let you off lightly."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he released a strong sense of oppression.It seems that it is because of the invasion of Dalabang, and I am in a bad mood.
Negotiating with such a monster feels like confronting an angry dragon, more terrifying than ever.My whole body trembled uncontrollably.The urge to turn around and run swelled to the limit.
However, hearing this fiery voice made my heart relax.
In Cook's impression, the more noble a person is, the more he values commitment.Even if it's just a promise as a joke.
This time, it seems that Cook is on the right track.
He raised his head and saw the other party taking off his hood, revealing his fiery red hair. Cook's body was trembling, but the corners of his mouth quietly curved.
"Thank you for coming to see me. Queen Akasha...... Everyone's time is precious, so I will make a long story short. Please give me the status of an envoy to Dalabang. And in front of all the ministers, Solemnly confer."
.......
After listening to Cook's explanation, no surprise, Queen Akasha frowned and let out a loud exclamation
"what?"
As expected of a smart queen, the surprise only lasted for a moment.
She immediately understood that Cook was not joking, and her expression changed from surprise to anger.
To be honest, Akasha's angry way was terrible.Cook felt like he was going to be eaten.
But this time must be patient.
Before Cook could explain, Akasha took the lead in blaming Cook.
"Cook, you are a smart boy. I know you can understand the current situation. I don't need to explain how ridiculous this is. It's impossible. Get out of here, get out of here before I don't have the thought of killing anyone. I'm already annoying enough. I don’t have time to listen to novelists talk about their fantasies.”
Cook certainly knew how absurd and unacceptable his request was.Akasha's reaction was all expected.
An envoy is the face of the country, the representative of the royal family, and the person who conveys the voice of the highest power.
The task of envoys is directly related to the destiny of the country.
Therefore, choosing envoys has always been a top priority.
Envoys must be noble and respectable people.
People without status acting as envoys will make the other party feel underestimated and reduce the success rate of negotiations.
Envoys must also be smart, have considerable experience and qualifications, be able to adapt to changes in negotiations, and use advanced conversational terms to impress and persuade the other party.
Envoys must also have the courage to go deep into the enemy's line and stay calm in the face of danger.
The envoy must be absolutely loyal and a confidant of the royal family.
Such an important job cannot be given to someone who cannot be trusted.
To sum up, one is not an important member of the court, two does not have rich experience, and three is not a royal confidant, Cook does not meet the conditions to become an envoy at all.
Even if the Queen is crazy, it is impossible to send a child to the Lion King.
This could definitely be misconstrued as a slight to The Lion King and exacerbate an already tense situation.
Furthermore, although Cook used honorifics, his words were completely commanding.
The three sons of a lower nobleman are ordering the queen.
The queen did not turn her back on the spot and kill Cook, which has already given Cook enough face.
Even so, Cook did not back down.
"My lord queen. I'm not joking. I need you to cooperate with me...to save Princess Lilith."
The queen was visibly shaken when she heard Lilith's name.
It was obviously blocked news, and many important figures around him didn't know about it, but it was uttered by the three men of the lower-level nobles.
229: Reciprocity
As if to say, 'You know a secret you shouldn't know,' the queen glared at Cook with murderous eyes.
Cook also stared at Akasha without showing any weakness.
Cook knew that what he just shot was a sharp arrow.It is the most effective arrow against Queen Akasha.
As a mother, no matter how important the overall situation is, it is impossible to feel no guilt about sending her daughter to the enemy.
No one's heart is made of iron.
Use strong willpower to seal this guilt deep in your heart.
This seal, under the impact of various negative emotions such as anxiety, restlessness, anger, fear, etc., has already become dilapidated.
It didn't take much for Cook to unleash the torrent of emotion sealed in the Queen's heart.
The mother's sense of guilt towards her daughter, restrained by the sense of responsibility of the royal family, was easily aroused by Cook.
The queen raised her eyebrows, her expression became horribly twisted, and she yelled at Cook like an angry Shura.
"You don't need to do unnecessary things. For a commoner like you, just stay at home and wait for the matter to pass. Things between countries are things that we, those in power, have to consider. Send Lilith to Dalabang It’s after careful consideration, because it can save Alcoron. Don’t think that you are smart by saying a few words, as if you know everything. The casual involvement of laymen will only make the situation we have worked so hard to stabilize become worse. Chaos will make our efforts in vain...... Moreover, Lilith is a princess, and she has long been prepared to sacrifice for the country. This is also her own choice, you and me too Well, I have no right to say anything. Get out. Get out of my sight."
Cook did not guide the topic as implicitly as usual, allowing the queen to gradually understand what he wanted to express, but directly threw out the core content, just to shake the queen.
At this time, the queen did not have the patience to hear herself finish.So think of something.
For example, uncovering the scars in the Queen's heart, allowing the Queen to convert her guilt into anger towards herself, can attract the Queen's attention and let her finish her thoughts.
Deliberately pissing off the dragon to get her attention...was an all-or-nothing insanity.
If one is not done well, he will become a meal of the giant dragon, and his head will be in a different place.Even if it's okay, after the matter is over, he will not end well.
Cook felt that this was the most idiotic suicide method in history.
There is no need to say a lot, 1-2 sentences are enough to make the stormy sea become rough.
He directly confronted the queen's gaze with a sharp gaze that did not budge.
Cook didn't wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead, and continued to speak without emotion.
"Queen Akasha...Is this really Lilith's hope? And...can this really save the country? Or...is this just yours?" Wishful thinking. Is it just you...passing the buck, trying to alleviate your guilt?"
Cook seemed to hear Akasha screaming in pain as she was stabbed in the heart by a sword for the second time.
Obviously... giving the princess to the Lion King, a method of drinking poison to quench thirst, cannot save Alcolon from the crisis at all.
If that's all the Lion King's appetite is, it's nothing to be afraid of.
It is impossible for the queen not to know this.
Attacking the dragon's scar twice in a row made the dragon extremely angry.
"You, what do you know. Lilith was sent out because there was nothing I could do. I, I couldn't help it either. I couldn't do it."
"No way? What if I say I have a way to save both Lilith and Alcoron?"
"You're kidding. We can't do anything, what can you do!"
Akasha stared at Cook, her beautiful face distorted by anger.
"Stop talking. I'm leaving. Cook, don't ever appear in front of me. Otherwise, I'll cut off your head next time."
Akasha turned around, ready to leave.
In the end, rationality defeated the strong killing intent, which was enough to give Cook face.
It stands to reason that at this time, one should retreat from the difficulties and stop stepping into that dangerous field.
This is the choice of the wise.
But Cook opened his mouth again, as if he had no repentance.
"A citizen who is concerned about the country and the people offers loyal words to the country, but he is not even given a chance to explain it. For such a king, I think it is better to take the title of virtuous king. A country ruled by an ignorant royal family will sooner or later be destroyed. Why not ...... Destroy it with my own hands!!"
Cook fiddled with the dragon's reverse scale again.
Akasha turned her head, completely losing the queen's reserve.
That way, it gives people the illusion that crazy flames are about to erupt from the crater.
"What did you say!"
"Queen Akasha doesn't believe that I can do it? I'm a novelist and the owner of a bookstore. I'm best at writing realistic stories that draw people's emotions, and I can quickly distribute the stories... Speech is very difficult. Terrible. Especially in this time when people's hearts are unstable and people are panicking. Rumors can easily become true. People...all prefer to believe in their own....corrupt royal family It is a cancer of the country, an obstacle to progress, as a patriot. I think it is better to pull it out as soon as possible.”
"You, you bastard, thanks to me, I still trust you so much and let my daughter go to you. You, how dare you betray me. Do you think I will easily forgive you after doing these things? "
"I dare to come to see Queen Akasha, so I am naturally ready to die for my country. Whether I die or not is a trivial matter, but the safety of the royal family and the future of the country is a major issue. Oh, by the way, I have sent my family to I have taken refuge. So it is useless to threaten me with my family. I have no openings now."
Cook didn't send his family to asylum, this is just nonsense.
But Cook knew Queen Akasha would believe it.People... would rather believe it.Queen Akasha is no exception.
Akasha glared at Cook angrily.If eyes could kill, Cook would have died thousands of times.
Akasha just stared at Cook, and did not continue to defend herself.The normally irrational devil turned out to be short of words, which gave Cook the pleasure of defeating the queen in terms of words for the first time.
Although Cook had the upper hand in words, the Queen showed no signs of being prepared to surrender or listen to Cook's explanation.
Sure enough, it was too difficult to make the queen listen to him.
After doing so much, begging and threatening, still can't achieve the goal.This task is not done by humans at all.
Queen Akasha was too lazy to talk nonsense with Cook, but turned around and shouted Sophia's name directly.
The next second, as if waiting in front of the door, the door of the secret room was pushed open.
Not the usual village girl, but a female swordsman in full body armor walked in.
As soon as she saw Sofia, Queen Akasha immediately pointed at Cook and gave orders to Sofia.
"Give me...kill him."
ps: I drank wine as a drink yesterday.As a result, a word was not written.I got up at 9 o'clock today, and it's all nonsense to go to work.All kinds of confusion in the head, useless.Sure enough, you can't drink.But... I got excited and bought a box.There are 11 and a half bottles left.One bottle a week is fine.
Chapter 2 Thirty: Don't Worry, It's Your Own
In an instant, the passage of time seemed to stop suddenly, and the room immediately became extremely quiet.
The three people who released a huge sense of presence at the same time faced each other silently, making the atmosphere so depressing that it could stop the heart from beating.
Cook felt his hair go numb, and his consciousness was almost taken out.
Queen Akasha's order was simple and clear.
As a silver wolf, Sophia absolutely obeys the orders of the royal family.
Even if Akasha ordered Sophia to commit suicide, Sophia would not hesitate.
This is Akasha, no, it is something that everyone takes for granted.
But this time, after Akasha gave the order, Sophia did not act.
Akasha thought Sofia didn't hear it, so she yelled and repeated it again.
"What are you doing. I want you to kill him."
This time, Akasha's voice was louder, and the mixed emotions were more intense. Unless Sophia was deaf, it was impossible for her to hear it wrong.
