"Bang!" Bolton slapped the table, and the solid wood tabletop was split into three parts.

This is a conference room located in the palace, surrounded by external guards. There are no windows around the room. Safety and confidentiality are greatly guaranteed. The two princes Burton and Andre are meeting here.

Burton angrily asked Andre: "Second brother, I really don't understand what you are thinking! Not only did you not help me keep this matter of Kino a secret, you actually asked the newspaper to write it in the "Daily Chronicle"

, making it known throughout the kingdom! Things are already messy enough, aren’t you deliberately causing trouble?!”

"Seventh brother, you really misunderstood me. How could I deliberately cause trouble?" Andre sighed heavily and shook his head and said, "Of course this matter about Kino should be hidden, but the premise is that it can be hidden. Now

The situation cannot be concealed at all!”

"I have already learned about it from Governor Edward. At that time, the voice of the extraterrestrial visitor spread throughout the Twilight City. Everyone in the city knew it, and there was no time to block the news. In addition, people spread it by word of mouth, inn letters, and air travel.

Books... news spreads faster than a fire starting a prairie fire, how can you hide it?"

Burton said anxiously: "Then you can't let anyone send it to the Daily Record!"

Andre patted Bolton on the shoulder and said sincerely: "I once read a sentence in an ancient book in the Far East - it is better to defend the mouth of the people than to defend the river - this sentence means to prevent

The harm caused by the people's words exceeds the harm caused by blocking the river! Now, the matter has developed to the point where it cannot be blocked, so it cannot be blocked, nor can it be allowed to develop. It should be guided like digging canals to control water."

"What I asked the newspaperman to write in the "Daily Chronicle" was very moderate in intention and rhetoric. No matter how the administrator of Chino is dealt with in the future, the royal family will have a chance. If we don't preemptively influence the people's opinions in advance,

, if the situation develops in the opposite direction, where will you let my father's face go?"

Bolton has not been good at government affairs since he was a child, and he doesn't like to think about whether these things exist or not. He waved his hand impatiently and turned away: "You are awesome, you are right, whatever you say is what it is, okay.

Already?!"

"Hey, seventh brother! You see, you are also a general of the kingdom. You have been tempered in the frontier for so many years. Logically speaking, you should be a very mature person. Why do you act like a child every time in front of me?" Andre showed the unique characteristics of the eldest brother.

With a mature demeanor, he went over to hold Bolton in his arms, let him sit on a chair, and patiently persuaded him, "Kino's matter is not just his personal problem, it is a major matter related to the direction of the kingdom. You and I brothers should work together."

It’s about working together.”

Bolton said angrily: "Brother, I've had this temper since I was a child. It's not like you don't know."

"Boom." At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open, Lorna walked in, and slammed the door with her backhand. Judging from the force of the kick, she was probably sulking.

"Lorna, how is Solan?!" Bolton and Andre said in unison, their tone was quite concerned.

Lorna rolled her eyes at Bolton and said in a loud voice deliberately: "What can I do? I was so angry with you that I had a high fever and fell ill in bed!"

Bolton was horrified and stared: "I'm warning you! Don't slander anyone! Why does this fall on me?"

"Bang!" Lorna kicked the innocent chair and said, "If you don't blame you, who should blame you? If you hadn't caught Kino involuntarily, would Solan have been so anxious that he fell ill?"

Bolton was completely wronged and was about to cry: "Do you think I wanted to? The situation at that time was beyond my control. So many soldiers were present, including Consul Lysakhar and Governor Edward. Visitors from outside the world were also present.

In front of so many people, publicly announcing Kino’s identity, is it possible that I have to protect him in public? Do you think this is playing house? "

"Bang!" Lorna kicked the innocent table again: "Are you stupid?! Do you believe what the aliens say? They are blasphemers! They are our mortal enemies! Do you dare to believe what our mortal enemies say?

???If aliens say that you are one of their kind, then should we also arrest you on the street? Do you have any brains?!"

Bolton has been trained in the military for many years. Although he is often willful in front of his brother, he is no longer the reckless man who would fight with Lorna over stupid questions such as "Who loves Solan more?", and his temperament has matured a lot.

, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger, waved his hands and said: "I won't argue with you, you can say whatever you like, I just have no brains, are you satisfied?"

Andre came out to smooth things over: "Lorna, we all know that there must be something fishy about this matter, and we didn't say what to do with Chino. Now he is just in jail pending trial, waiting for investigation. If he is slandered,

Yes, we must clear his name."

"Boom!" Lorna kicked the innocent wall again: "It's easy to say! Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Once your reputation is smeared, is it so easy to regain your innocence?"

As Lorna was talking, she suddenly began to transform into a hermaphrodite: "The salary of an administrator for a year is only a little, and the headline of the "Daily Chronicle" costs a lot of money. Kino can't afford it alone. Alas,

Unlike some princes and princes, who are wealthy, well-dressed and well-fed, and can help their father manage money with ministers. They are so rich, so rich. Is this a nobility? It’s really funny~"

Andre pressed his hands together and smiled helplessly: "I'll pay for it, okay? If Kino is innocent, I'll buy the front page of the "Daily Chronicle" for a month, and overprint it and send it to the Kingdom.

Make sure everyone knows about it everywhere, is that okay?"

Lorna snorted and said nothing, which was regarded as her acquiescence.

"But -" Andre's eyes suddenly turned dark, and his voice deepened, "The premise is that Kino is indeed innocent."

Bolton's expression also became gloomy: "Second brother, do you really think that Kino might be a visitor from outer space?"

Andre shook his head: "I won't guess, and it's not my turn to make a decision. In a few days, there will be a "Kingdom Plenary Meeting". My father will preside over the hearing. At that time, officials from all sides will express their opinions. Then

It’s time for the results to come out.”

Lorna still wanted to kick something, but found that she had kicked everything in the room. There was nothing left to kick. She could only stamp her foot and said dissatisfied: "If you ask me, this plenary meeting is simply ridiculous! Let a group of people who are high in the royal city

, isn’t it funny that someone who has never seen the situation with his own eyes decides on the fate of the person involved?”

Bolton reminded: "Your father is also a member of the hearing panel."

Lorna became even more angry after hearing this: "What's the matter? It's him I'm scolding!"

Andre didn't want to get entangled in Lorna's family relationship, so he interrupted: "Stop talking about this. Whether Chino can survive this disaster depends on whether he can get the support of parliamentarians from all parties and whether he can persuade the hearing

group, prompting my father to make a positive judgment."

"Before the plenary meeting begins, there is one more important thing, and that is the confession of the people in the executive residence. If the confession is fine, of course it would be best."
