Chapter 24: Pulling the Snake out of the Hole (2)

"Crack out the nobles?"

Alfred pinched his chin and pondered for a while, then looked at the son of the Duke of Normandy:

"Who are the candidates of the Federation? Do they have their own interests?"

"There were many people who knew about these interests and hobbies in the federal politicians before. Now... I'm a little confused." The son of the Duke of Normandy said with some embarrassment. "Because of the wars over the past few years, the candidates have basically been replaced. Those who have been in power for a longer period of time are the old lord of Mainz and the current Duke of Aquitaine."

"That is," Alfred confirmed, "most of the candidates are young?"

"Yes. But neither the King of Bohemia and the Duke of Bavaria have grown up yet. The Duke of Bavaria is younger."

Alfred nodded: "I understand, let me try it."

As he said that, he thought of something again and looked up and asked, "Are there any death row prisoners in your military camp?"

"I destroyed a thief's den on my way here," said the son of the Duke of Normandy. "The robbers are still locked in my army."

"Ticket me to bring it back for you," said Alfred, "but first, they must be executed."

"Execution? Why?"

"It must be executed." Alfred's tone was filled with a bit of anger: "Because only dead people can't speak."

Ella sighed from the side. Meli was missing, and Alfred would indeed not feel very comfortable.

"I will step up searching for Meli's whereabouts," she said. "As soon as there is news about her, I will contact you."

"No, if you find Meli, let her go and rest for a while like the King of Heroes. Scipio, what you said just now is right - if Cour is not dead, we can kill it. I only think of such a simple truth."

Alfred shook his cloak and turned around and left a sentence:

"If I can find Meli, tell her: I will definitely avenge her for the revenge I have hurt her twice."

Alfred and the ten knights returned to Paris with their spears to the bodies of the robbers. The moment they rode out of the city gate, they caused a great sensation in the downtown area of ​​Paris.

According to Alfred, this is the gang of thieves who recently attacked the caravan outside the city. They went out to hunt and wiped out the thieves by the way.

Such heroic deeds attracted a burst of cheers from the onlookers. On the way, Alfred bent down and kissed the back of a noble lady's hand.

"King of Britain" soon became a topic of discussion among the noble ladies after dinner. After all, this Knight King was not only brave, noble, but also young and handsome. His popularity rose all the way, even overshadowed the Duke of Brittany who was considered the "best man in the world" not long ago.

For some well-known reasons, Alfred's reputation among some male nobles in Almany is not so good. Every time Alfred goes out, he will be looked at by many people behind his back.

After that, a truly legendary news spread throughout Paris:

When the British Knight King left the city this time, he witnessed a rare white deer outside the suburbs. Not only was it as white as snow, but its head was also surrounded by colorful arcs like rainbows.

Then, another piece of news spread rapidly:

The Knight King had sent out an invitation letter, inviting the nobles of Almani to go out of the city together to hunt the white deer.

——"Have you sent all the invitation letters?"

In the dark room, Alfred sat on a chair and asked the entourage in the room in a deep voice.

"I sent it, and basically the well-known nobles stranded in the city have received invitations." The entourage replied, "but..."

"Just what?"

"Not many people are interested in this." The entourage replied honestly, "After all, it is a special period, and Almani's political situation is not yet stable. Moreover, there are Black Death, thieves, chaos and other things outside the city. Not only the nobles, but even the merchants are trying to avoid going out."

"Don't be squinting, this is a good thing."

Having said that, Alfred's own face was still gloomy.

"If there are too many people, the Count of Ile-de-France may not have enough troops. That would be meaningless."

"But no one is going to go now." The entourage reminded, "There are some irrelevant nobles who want to go..."

"At this time, I will invite a few VIPs myself."

Alfred put a pair of straight white gloves on his hand and stood up.

"King King, are you going to invite them again?"

"No, they don't want to come." Alfred squeezed a smile on his face, "I will invite some beautiful noble ladies to accompany me out for hunting."

The legendary sacred white deer, plus Alfred's invitation, few girls could refuse - even though they already knew that Alfred had invited a bunch of people.

As a result, on the day of hunting, in addition to the group of noble ladies who were deliberately invited by Alfred, the male nobles who had refused to go hunting also followed.

Every male nobleman stared at Alfred with resentment.

"Wow, are the two candidates actually here?"

Alfred pretended to be unaware, his face filled with smiles, greeting them one by one. Especially the two young candidates who voted for the Duke of Aquitaine in the meeting, he was enthusiastically pinched with his hands for a long time.

"Alfred," one of the candidates stared at him, his tone of bad spirits, "I can only be the one who hunted the white deer today."

"Okay, we're going to compete with archery."

"Alfred," a childish voice rang from behind him, "There are more than two candidates here. Are you looking down on me?"

Alfred turned around in shock and saw a child sitting upright on a horse.

"This is the King of Bohemia." The entourage behind the child whispered.

"Ah... I've heard of it. Lucky." Alfred turned around and politely stretched out his hand.

The child did not hold Alfred's hand, but asked, "Alfred. You invited the nobles of the whole city, but you did not invite me. Are you looking down on me?"

"No...I..." Alfred smiled awkwardly, "Generally speaking, hunting is an adult sport, you..."

"I am the Lord of Bohemia, the only one among the princes of Almani, who is the title of 'king'." The child said loudly, "Do you think I am not qualified to participate in the hunt?"

"This... I'm sorry, it was my mistake." Alfred had to apologize, "I will never forget the next time."

The child then reached out and shook Alfred.

An old voice laughed aside.

"King King, did you not expect it? Our Almani Federation has successors. From my perspective, the King of Bohemia should be more consul than the Duke of Aquitaine."

Alfred looked in the direction where the sound came, and was shocked again:

"Mainz is the candidate? Are you so old, come to hunt too?"

The old lord rode a skinny horse and walked out of the crowd staggeringly.
