As soon as these words were spoken, Alonso III stared at Roger closely, eager to know how he would answer him.【】
To be honest, Roger has always been known in the kingdom for not meddling in other people's business, and his strength should not be underestimated. Alonso III did not want to completely fall out with Roger before he was completely ready. Alonso
The third generation's plan was to first try to persuade or threaten Roger to hand over the Hamiltons. If he surrendered to him, he would not take action against Roger for the time being.
After all, Roger is also an earl of the kingdom and has made great contributions to the kingdom many times. If Alonso III suddenly attacks him, it will inevitably make other nobles disappointed in the king and even cause greater turmoil. Therefore, Alonso III also
I decided that if possible, I would try not to fall out with Roger right away. It would be best to wait until I was fully prepared before attacking him.
Facing Alonso III, who was looking at him nervously, Roger couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This was also the king at the time, who fought against all odds to give himself a noble title, and also supported him in his fight against Duke Hamilton, Walter and others.
.But now there is no one else in the kingdom that can threaten Alonso III's royal power, so he can't wait to attack his former allies. Not only did he kill Duke Hamilton, but he didn't even intend to let go of his daughter Anna.
Maybe when Alonso III came to be the king, all this was normal. He just eliminated some things that might threaten his existence in order to maintain the royal power. Maybe it was not Hamilton who was harmed by Alonso III this time, but Hamilton.
For other nobles that Roger hated, he would also spread his hands and say: "This is a cruel political struggle. There is nothing you can do about it. Sooner or later, you will have to pay back if you come out to hang out."
But unfortunately, the first person Alonso III used to operate was the Hamilton family, and he didn't even intend to let Anna go. This was what Roger could not accept. After all, Anna is Roger's woman, so counting
Hamilton is also his father-in-law. If Roger can even tolerate this kind of thing, then he really is not a man.
What's more, Alonso III is now aiming his gun at Roger. This time, calling him to Mandos City for an audience is the most powerful evidence. In this case, Roger has made up his mind to fight with Alonso III.
Fight to the end, who can have the last laugh?
Under Alonso III's nervous gaze, Roger suddenly smiled, and then said word for word: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The Duke is seriously injured and can't travel, and he also likes the climate and scenery of Kent Town. I'm not as good as
Let him stay with me for three to five years, and then come to see you after his injury recovers."
Roger's words made Alonso III furious
He was seriously injured and couldn't travel, and he liked the weather and scenery of Kent Town. All these were obviously excuses made by Roger. When the king came, it only meant one thing, that is, Hamilton knew about his intentions, so he hid in Kent far away.
The town will never come back.
Alonso III used himself to save others. He was convinced that Hamilton had suffered such a big loss and almost lost his life. Naturally, he would not let it go. The Duke stayed in Kent Town firstly to take refuge, and secondly to gather strength loyal to him.
Waiting for an opportunity to counterattack and take revenge.
Under such circumstances, Roger actually refused to hand over the person, which in the eyes of the king was nothing more than a conspiracy against him. Naturally, Alonso III was very angry. He stared at Roger and said slowly: "Earl Lee, you
You should know the consequences of doing this.”
Anyway, he was already planning to fall out with the other party. Roger was not polite and said to the king without any sign of weakness: "Did you really not think about the consequences when you used that shameful trick to deal with Duke Hamilton?".
"Presumptuous" was angered by Roger's attitude. Alonso III slapped the chair and said: "Count, don't forget who you are talking to. I declare that you will be stripped of your title for defying the king and the territory will be returned to the kingdom."
"Don't forget, the appointment and dismissal of nobles is not the king's final decision. The distribution of territory is a matter of the Privy Council. The president of the Privy Council is the Duke of Hamilton." Facing the aggressive Alonso III, Roger did not show any weakness and gave tit-for-tat.
: "I also want to remind you,
If the Duke shows up and announces your conspiracy to the world, how many nobles do you think will side with you? Using undead creatures to frame the nobles of your country, if this kind of thing gets out, not even the church will let you go.
You're just waiting to be hunted down by the Inquisition."
Roger really planned to fall out with the king. He didn't leave any room when he spoke, and every sentence pointed directly at Alonso III's vital points. When had the king been so robbed? At this time, his lips were trembling with anger, his face was pale, and his fingers were trembling.
Pointing at Roger, he couldn't even say a word.
"What? I have nothing to say?" Roger was willing to take the risk anyway, so he simply took this opportunity to curse: "Who fully supported you in the past to fight against the Wattle and Barton families? Now that your power has been consolidated, your throne is secure.
If you turn your back on others and don't recognize a king like you who has no tolerance for people, he will be kicked off the throne sooner or later."
"You are too presumptuous, Earl Lee." Anthony, who had been hiding in advance, heard Roger talking more and more and went too far. He felt that the time had come for him to show off in front of the king, so he immediately rushed out of his hiding place and scolded him loudly.
The fat Marquis glanced at Sophia greedily, and then said loudly: "Don't forget who you are talking to, Earl's Palace Guards, hurry up and arrest these two people and throw them into prison."
Alonso III and Anthony had discussed it in advance to let the palace guards deal with Roger instead of activating the mechanism. When they arrived, Roger was too weak, so there was no need to waste precious magic crystals to activate the mechanism. Only the palace guards would be enough.
.
Following Anthony's order, all the palace guards who had been ambushing the small room rushed out. A total of forty or fifty people appeared in this small room, almost filling the space.
These palace guards were all the king's most trusted people. They didn't care why Roger was convicted. They just slowly approached Roger with weapons in hand, just wanting to subdue him and Sophia.
Seeing that Roger was surrounded by palace guards, Anthony's fat face showed a proud smile. Roger only had bronze strength, and he didn't bring any weapons or magic props, which made it difficult for so many palace guards who also had bronze strength to
It's more than enough to deal with him. Anthony believes that it won't be long before Roger is captured, and his status in front of the king will also rise. All of this is simply perfect.
At this time, Anthony was so proud that he couldn't help but remind the soldiers loudly: "Don't hurt that woman, your Majesty has given her to me."
As soon as Anthony finished speaking, the situation suddenly developed in a direction that he had not expected at all.
