Chapter two hundred and forty-eight clouds
A new road to destiny has appeared, but the door has not been opened yet, and the content of the task of opening the door has not appeared yet.
William's consciousness withdrew from the Square of Destiny. At this time, he was in the hall of the government affairs of the palace. In addition to him, many ministers were also waiting for the arrival of the envoys of the Kingdom of Fales.
After a while, the envoy came down to the main hall under the guards.
William looked at the messenger and saw a handsome middle-aged man with a slender figure, straight face, serious clothes, meticulous care of his beard, and a very standard aristocratic look. When saluting William and others, he also looked neither humble nor arrogant.
However, William quickly retracted his attention. He didn't care about the other party's appearance. After a while, he had seen the strength of the messenger clearly. This was what really attracted his attention. However, the messenger seemed to be average and his hands were not callous at all. He was obviously not a person who had practiced swordsmanship or other physical skills.
The Fales envoy named Romanos was not conscious of being ignored. After performing his salute, he deliberately looked up at the throne on the platform opposite and asked loudly: "Why don't you see His Majesty Norton I, the king of your country?"
After Manny, who had just become the Foreign Minister, glanced at the messenger Romanos and said slowly: "Your Majesty has ignored the government for many years. If your country has any proposals or requests, it will be the same as our consul."
"What's the same!" Romanos waved his right hand with anger and emphasized his tone, "As the envoy of the Kingdom of Fales, I represent King Robert. This time the document was written by King Robert himself to His Majesty Norton I of your country. As a subject, how can I receive such a document on behalf of the king? Are you going to usurp the throne?"
The temple was basically full of William's people, and when Romanos said something, he looked at him coldly.
"Do you think you can represent King Robert, but I can't represent His Majesty Norton I?" William spoke, and he asked slowly.
"That's different," Romanos looked very tough. "King Robert could not come to this country. I had to represent him, and His Majesty Norton I was in the palace."
"Okay, then go and call His Majesty Norton I over." William said calmly. He sat on the chair without moving his fingers, and only used his eyes to signal a guard to inform the king.
William's attitude was like summoning a servant, which made Romanos, who had been aristocrats for generations and received monarchy education since childhood, was very dissatisfied. It seemed that the rumors that the Navia Kingdom had been controlled by a group of traitors outside were not groundless. Everything he saw in front of him proved that William's attitude and power had long deviated from the duty of a minister.
Originally, there were no seats in the Grand Hall except the throne. Later, after William entered the palace, he added seats for him and other ministers.
While waiting, all the ministers of the Navia Kingdom sat safely, only the envoy of Fales, Romanos, stood there, and was looked up and down with unscrupulous eyes by Manni and others.
After a while, King Norton I was taken to the hall. Compared to the way William looked when he first met him a few years ago, he became a little whiter and fatter, with dark circles becoming more obvious, and his hairline was even further backward.
Romanos respectfully bowed to Norton I, but the ministers of the other Navian kingdom did not even move. A few of them were not William's old team, but the ministers of the old noble forces moved restlessly on the chair, but they did not dare to stand up when they saw that William and the others did not get up.
After William got up and gave a simple salute to Norton I, the others left the seat as he moved and saluted them one after another.
After Norton I sat down, he didn't say let the others sit down, but when the others saw William sitting back on his chair and pressing his hands, they sat down one after another.
Romanos complained again, but he still handed over the documents of his king to Norton I according to the established steps. As a result, before the documents were opened in Norton I, they were taken away by the servants next to him and handed them to William.
William translated the documents, and as he expected, it was about the territorial issues of Cocoaxi Village and Housha Town.
"I don't think there is any need to discuss the incorporation of the village of Kokoaxi and Housha Town into our territory," William handed the document to Danpiel, who was also the Minister of Science and Technology, and then said to Romanos. "The residents of the two places have been enslaved by pirates for many years, and no one has ever paid attention to them before. It was us who rescued them from the pirates, and it was the wish of the local people to incorporate them into our country."
"When it comes to territorial issues, those low-ranking peasants are not qualified to make decisions," Romanos said in a deep voice. "They can join the Kingdom of Navia, but they have no right to give the land that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Fales to the Kingdom of Navia."
"Send? The people and the land there are liberated by the power of the Navian Kingdom. Rescuing the people there is no right to make decisions, and those living there are no right to make decisions. Are you qualified?" William smiled disdainfully.
"You are making a fuss. Your current behavior is to encroach on the land of the Kingdom of Fales," Romanos gritted his teeth, with a hint of threat in his tone. "This may be mistaken for the act of war by our country."
As soon as Romanos finished speaking, the hall seemed a little quiet. Norton looked at Romanos with fear, and the others in the hall also looked at him with a strange expression.
"The Dragon Pirates have been entrenched for so many years, and your country dares not send anyone to condemn it," William raised his eyebrows. "Now I have just been liberated by my troops, so I dare to come to my palace to threaten the war. Why are your courage so late?"
"The Kingdom of Navia and the Kingdom of Fales are both franchises of the world government. When the two sides go to war, the world government will definitely pay attention," Romanos said maliciously. "The world government and the navy will not discuss normal conflicts between the franchises, but if they find that one of them is a cunning criminal who colludes with the local navy, causing the East China Sea Navy to become corrupt, thus allowing themselves to escape the reward, they will definitely not ignore it!"
After Romanos finished speaking, he stared at William, but saw that William had no change in his expression when he heard his words.
"Is this your support?" William mocked, "Boys rely on their power, this is where you dare not provoke the Dragon Pirates, but dare to provoke me?"
William waved to the guards, then pointed at Romanos, who was red from his words: "Cut off his ears."
Romanos was shocked, and two wolf-like guards had already pressed him down.
