Having made up his mind, Roger put on a loyal expression and said to Alonso III: "Your Majesty, I just want to do something for the kingdom. It doesn't matter whether I give you a reward or not, but there is something I don't understand.
Yes, why are there so many ministers targeting me? I have been living in the countryside of the Lunde Peninsula, and I have never even seen these people in person before, let alone offended them.【】"
Hearing Roger ask such a question, both Anna and Alonso III had strange expressions. The king glanced at Anna intentionally, as if to remind Roger that the reason why the Vattel faction dealt with him in this way was because he and Alonso III
The Hamiltons were too close.
However, Roger didn't seem to understand what Alonso III meant, and just kept to himself: "I knew that these people objected to His Majesty's reward for me, and after thinking about it again and again, I felt that except for undead creatures, there are no
I have offended other people. Except for those dirty guys, no one should hate me so much!"
Hearing this, Alonso III also understood what Roger meant, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why, when you say this, are you reminding me that those who oppose giving you rewards are undead creatures, right?"
"Although it is not an undead creature, it is almost the same as them." Roger smiled at the king, and then handed him the map he got from the Black Knight.
Alonso III took the map and took a few glances, and his expression immediately changed. I don’t know what Alonso III did, but a figure suddenly emerged from the shadow next to the bookshelf and saluted him respectfully: "Your Majesty.
!”
Roger was startled by the sudden appearance of this guy, but seeing that both Alonso III and Anna looked normal, he quickly calmed down. As a king, it is impossible for Alonso III to be without bodyguards. This man can
He had hidden himself so well before and was at least a high-level silver or even a low-level gold assassin. It was perfect for such a master to serve as a bodyguard. At this time, Roger also understood why Alonso would confront him seemingly unprepared.
When we met, it turned out that he still had such support.
"Go get the map of Lunde Peninsula!" At this time, Alonso III's face no longer had the kind smile on his face, and he waved to the assassin: "Quick!"
The map was quickly delivered to the desk. Alonso III carefully compared the two maps and his expression became more solemn. He asked Roger sullenly: "Where did you get this map?"
Roger glanced at the desk and found that the two maps were almost exactly the same. Even the number of soldiers marked on the edges of the towns was about the same. He felt a little more confident and immediately replied calmly: "This
I found the map on a black knight."
"Black Knight!" Roger's words made Anna and Alonso III exclaim at the same time, and their faces became very bad. Especially Alonso III's face turned livid, indicating that he was really angry.
Not easy.
Both of them could figure out that the map Roger got from the undead creatures was almost exactly the same as the map in the palace, especially the military types and numbers marked on the sides of each town were exactly the same. There was only one explanation for this situation, and that was
A traitor appeared within the kingdom and leaked this confidential military map to the undead creatures.
Alonso stared closely at the two maps on the table, the anger in his heart almost reaching the level of restraint. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his hands were still trembling slightly.
Just as Roger had guessed, for Alonso III, the struggle between the Hamilton and Vattel factions was beneficial to him. Both parties are important ministers who hold great power in the kingdom. If they are really good with the same person,
In this way, Alonso would really find it troublesome. Now Alonso III seems to be on Hamilton's side, entirely because the Duke's side is weak and he did it for the sake of balance. If Hamilton takes over at any time,
If he has the upper hand, he will definitely lean towards Vettel.
Originally, for the king, the two sides would fight back and forth, and it wouldn't be nice for whoever occasionally had the upper hand. But if someone colluded with the undead creatures, he would never tolerate it. After all, the fighting between ministers would not affect the king's status, but if
Undead creatures have taken over the entire country. Should Alonso III be asked to rule a group of skeletons and zombies?
After seeing Alonso's reaction, Roger knew that his efforts had worked. However, he did not give up there, and then told him that he had encountered Markas several times, and that this guy was an undead creature disguised as a human.
came out.
Upon hearing that undead creatures had not only sneaked into the kingdom, but even arrived so close to the capital, Alonso III's anger reached the extreme. He immediately summoned the palace secretary and issued an order that from now on, anyone entering or leaving any big city must
The command to touch holy water.
Holy water is water that has been prayed by the priest of the Supreme God, and has a natural restraint effect on undead creatures. This makes it much more difficult for undead creatures disguised as humans to sneak into big cities, and it is currently the most effective remedy.
Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Roger said to Alonso III: "Your Majesty, after much thought, it is the undead creatures that hate me the most. You said that these ministers are trying their best to prevent you from rewarding me. Is there something wrong? Maybe?
We can take this opportunity to figure out who is most suspected of colluding with undead creatures!"
If Roger had said this at the beginning, Alonso III would definitely have regarded it as nonsense, but now the king had to seriously consider this issue. Alonso tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after being silent for a while, he asked
Roger: "What's your plan?"
"I think your Majesty should announce a big reward for me." Roger had already thought about what to say, and replied with a serious face: "There will definitely be many people who will jump out to oppose, and whoever opposes more fiercely will have more opposition."
Maybe there is collusion with undead creatures!”
"You make some sense." Alonso III had to be cautious when it came to the survival of the kingdom. After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, I'll do it according to your idea!"
Alonso's words made Roger feel happy, and he immediately bowed to him and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Roger's reaction made the king stunned for a while, but he quickly reacted and pointed at Roger and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would be fooled by you. Now even many ministers and nobles will be jealous of you, but I
The reward given to you cannot be escaped."
In fact, Roger didn't expect this little trick to be hidden from Alonso III, so even if he was exposed in person, he would not change his expression. He puffed up his chest and said righteously: "To me, the reward is not important, the important thing is to be able to do it."
Taking this opportunity to find out the traitors within the king, as long as I can share the worries of His Majesty the king, it doesn’t matter if I suffer a little personal grievance!”
"Haha, well said! The kingdom needs loyal people like you!"
"Hee hee, you are so shameless. You can be so righteous even if you are pretending to be a public servant and doing it for your own gain!"
Roger's words brought about completely different reactions from Anna and Alonso III, but for him, as long as the reward was settled, it didn't matter whether he was loyal or self-serving.
