After the incident in the "Holy Magic Code" subsided, the peace of the past returned to the royal city. What King Roy received every day was the news that Roger and the Blue Dragon Knights led by him encircled and suppressed pirates in the southern waters of the Kingdom of Fire and won all the way.
News. Geraint continued to teach Joshua basic sword skills and competed with his mentor Byron from time to time.
Until one day...
"Lord Byron is not well!" Byron, who was patrolling outside the palace, suddenly heard one of the king's chamberlains greeting him.
"Looking at you in a panic, what happened?" Byron asked.
"Something is serious, Lord Byron." The chamberlain said breathlessly, "His Majesty the King suddenly fainted when he was watching His Royal Highness the Prince practicing swordsmanship in the back garden this afternoon. We just helped him to the palace, and the priest was giving him
He is seeing a doctor."
"His Majesty the King has always been in good health, why did he suddenly faint?" Byron suddenly became nervous, "Take me into the palace to have a look."
Byron hurriedly came to the king's palace with his chamberlain. At this time, Roy was lying weakly on the bed, and the priest was doing a physical examination on him. The queen and several princesses were sitting aside at a loss, while Geraint and
The little prince Joshua also stood beside the king's bed, with an anxious look on his face.
"Your Majesty the King, what's wrong with you?" Byron stepped forward.
"Byron...is...you?" Hearing the voice, Roy turned his head. Everyone could see that even such a simple action as turning his head was very difficult for the king to do.
"Lord Byron! As usual, I took the Prince to the back garden to practice swordsmanship in the afternoon. His Majesty the King wanted to see His Majesty the Prince's learning progress and came to the back garden. The King was very energetic at the time, and we did not see that he had any
Any abnormality. But when we were halfway through the practice, His Majesty the King suddenly fainted. From the time when the servants and I sent His Majesty the King back to the palace until now, His Majesty has always looked like this. The priests checked for a long time.
I didn't see any results." Geraint described what happened just now.
"What? Even the priest doesn't know why His Majesty the King is like this?" Byron turned his head and looked at the priest.
"Lord Byron, His Majesty's illness is very strange. I have never encountered it in my many years of medical practice." The priest said, "On the surface, it seems that the whole body is weak and the breath is weak, but the root cause of the disease cannot be found."
"His Majesty the King has always been in good health. It's really strange that he fell ill today. All in all, you priests must do everything you can to find the root cause of the disease." Byron said, "The news that the King is seriously ill is of great importance.
,Except for the floating city, the fewer people outside who know the news, the better."
"Byron, His Majesty the King fell ill so suddenly this time, and now he can hardly speak clearly. Who will be in charge of the military and political affairs of our kingdom these days?" the queen asked Byron anxiously.
"Your Highness the Prince is still young, and in the entire Reims Kingdom, only you can make the decision. Lord Byron!" At this time, several members of the royal family also came to the king's palace.
"How is this possible?" Byron quickly declined.
"Lord Byron, as the king's younger brother, you are also the leader of the Golden Dragon Knights. Whether it is courage, wisdom, or benevolence, you are highly praised in everyone's minds. While His Majesty the King is seriously ill,
, you will be in charge of all major affairs of the Kingdom of Reims, so that we can all rest assured." All the royal family members asked Byron to temporarily handle various important affairs of the country on behalf of the king.
"Byron, you are His Majesty's biological brother. At this juncture, you are the support of all of us!" At this time, the Queen also stood up, "Joshua is still too young. As the heir to the throne, he cannot bear this responsibility."
The burden of the country."
"The matter has come to this, we can't get into trouble." Byron asked everyone present to calm down quickly, "The king's illness looks very serious, even the priests are helpless, but we can't just give up hope. The reason why our Kingdom of Reims is
In addition to His Majesty the King's wise leadership, the Five Dragons Knights also play a huge role in its long-lasting prosperity. I suggest that we immediately summon the leaders of the Five Dragons Knights to unify our opinions."
"Lord Byron, what are you talking about? Of course the knights should be loyal to the royal family. If we temporarily elect you to issue decrees on behalf of the king, the other captains must obey your orders." A Duke of the royal family said.
"Yes, Lord Byron. By the way, Lord Roger, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights, is still killing pirates in the Burning Fire Province. Now the five captains cannot get together." Other members of the royal family also followed suit.
Expressed his opinion, "Except Lord Parsa, the other heads of the Knights have no blood relationship with His Majesty the King. This is His Majesty's family matter and they do not need to express their opinions."
"Byron, for the sake of us, please don't delay any longer." The queen begged Byron, "As the wall of the kingdom, now is the time for you to become the strong backing of the entire Kingdom of Reims."
"Byron..." At this time, Roy, who was lying on the hospital bed, let out a weak cry again.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Byron quickly walked to the bed and asked.
"I...today...suddenly...suddenly felt...as if...shrouded by the shadow of death." Roy spat out each word weakly.
"Your Majesty, you will live a long life, don't say that." Byron quickly held Roy's hand.
"I don't know why I suddenly did this...but I want to explain something to you while I still have some strength." Roy said to Byron, "Joshua is still too young now, and the country needs you.
support……"
"Your Majesty the King, please stop talking. What you need now is to have a good rest. Whether it is the Kingdom of Lance or His Highness, I will do my best to support you." Byron said excitedly, "And your illness.
I think we can find a cure."
"Okay...I..." Roy wanted to say something to Byron, but he felt that his whole body had no strength left.
"How could this happen? In just one day, His Majesty the King has become so exhausted." The priest observed Roy's face and said nervously.
"Your Majesty the King, what's wrong with you?" At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared in the palace. It turned out to be the leader of the Black Dragon Knights - Master Parsa. Judging from his identity, Parsa was
The king's cousin is naturally a member of the royal family, but he is ostracized by other members of the royal family because of his birth.
"Lord Parsa, you are well-informed. Take a look at the king's illness. Our priests are helpless." A chamberlain asked hurriedly when he saw Parsa coming.
"His Majesty the King was fine this morning, why did he fall ill all of a sudden?" Parsa came to the king and observed carefully, "Why do I feel that His Majesty the King seems to have been cursed by some kind of curse."
"Lord Parsa, do you mean that His Majesty the King's illness may be related to the dark magic last time?" Byron asked, "Didn't we already seal the "Sacred Magic Code"?"
"I'm just saying that it feels like, maybe as a mage, I like to associate many things with magic." Parsa sighed, "At this point, we try to find ways to maintain the life of His Majesty the King first, and then find the cause of the disease.
Prescribe the right medicine."
"Lord Parsa, during the period when the king was seriously ill, we members of the royal family unanimously agreed that Lord Byron would temporarily preside over state affairs. Do you have any objections?" A representative of the royal family asked Parsa.
"Oh? Are you asking for my opinion?" Parsa smiled slightly, "Since everyone has no objection, what else do I have to object? As the wall of the kingdom, Lord Byron is the best person in this extraordinary period.
Candidate."
"By the way, Lord Byron. If you need anything from me while His Majesty the King is seriously ill, just ask, and I, Parsa, will definitely be at your service." Parsa looked at Byron.
"Well, at this critical juncture, our Five Dragon Knights must unite and overcome the difficulties." Byron clenched his fists.
"Don't worry about this. I believe Master Bai Ao and Master Schroeder will feel the same way." Parsa smiled at Byron. Although his smile was always a bit weird, Byron felt relieved.
