In the royal capital, Sindmoor, there was a private reception at the Grand Hotel. Officials, businessmen and nobles brought their wives and children, chatting and communicating with each other, and making friends with dignitaries they wanted to know. Such receptions are very common in political centers like the capital of a country.
Even though this way of making friends is extremely hypocritical, people with some status are happy to do it. What's more, today's private reception was hosted by Du An, who is currently the most trusted minister of the king in the capital.
Among the invited guests, in addition to local officials and businessmen, there were also some foreign ambassadors. Although it was a private reception, the standards were very high. Halfway through the reception, the exchanges became more and more enthusiastic. Duan, who was holding a red wine glass, always had people coming.
Talk to him. I just talked with a family here, and another powerful person came over there.
"Master Duan, you have been really busy recently."
"Haha." Du An said with a smile: "The capital city has just gone through a huge change, so it is right to be busy. As your Majesty's minister, I can serve the country wholeheartedly, which can also make up for the fact that I did not distinguish between right and wrong and became a member of Zalbog's party.
It’s your fault.”
"Hey, Mr. Du An is now a famous figure in the royal capital. You and Hols are now the most trusted people by His Majesty. I still need your help in many things. When His Majesty the King suppressed the rebellion, I fainted for a moment.
"Head, I didn't express my support clearly for His Majesty. In fact, I always stood by His Majesty in my heart. It's just that Zalberg was too powerful at the time, and I was coerced by him, so I didn't dare to express my stance too clearly." said the speaker.
The noble looked at Duan expectantly.
Duan smiled: "Your Majesty will sweep away the rebels. Those you have to deal with are Zalberg's private followers. Others will not be affected. Don't worry, Mr. Bison."
Baison smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "My family is still very influential in the royal capital. If Mr. Duan has any difficulties in the future, I will definitely try my best to help." As he said that, his face straightened again and he leaned forward.
He whispered in front of him: "However, rumors that are unfavorable to the king in the royal capital have been circulating everywhere recently. Although it is said that the Prisoner's Gate is extremely sinful, the point of reference is that His Majesty the King ignored the Prisoner's Gate in order to gain support when he suppressed the rebellion.
What he did is the fact that he protected the criminal. There is a lot of public opinion in the royal capital about this matter now. I think this is probably the secret work of Prince Judgment."
Du An said: "I have also heard that your Majesty is not very aware of this matter. The empire is currently focusing on the frontline battlefields and the elimination of the prince's remnant party. You understand that your majesty needs this battle against the Demon Moon to lay the foundation for
His position, the War between Saints and Demons is the focus of His Majesty's concern. Supporting the King and winning the war is the best way to truly gain His Majesty's trust. You have to understand what is important now. As for the rumors,
, everyone already understands that this is Zalberg’s last desperate struggle, don’t take it too seriously, I will ask Mr. Halls to severely investigate and deal with those who create rumors.”
Baison said: "Yes. I benefited a lot from what Mr. Du An said. I know what to do. Thank you for reminding me."
Du An smiled: "That's good. The aristocratic families in the royal capital have very close contacts. It's not just you who wants to take a stand. It's best for your friends and family branches to give their full support. Otherwise, it won't be possible if you are the only one who supports it."
If others don't take a stand, the king will misunderstand the meaning of the aristocracy and think that you still refuse to agree with him. When the time comes, the king will no longer trust the aristocracy, and your interests will be harmed." He put the wine glass on the passing waiter's plate.
, glanced at the ambassador of the Gripen Empire from a distance, and said to Bison: "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
After Du An left, the ambassador of the Holy Gripen Kingdom also left the reception.
The bathroom is a place where private conversations are often held, but it is unreliable to talk about secret things. Duan had booked a room in the hotel and had already told the ambassador of the Gripen Empire. Not long after he checked into the room, there was a knock on the door.
Then it came.
After looking outside the door, no one came. Du An closed the door and said, "I have tried my best to let Radat make the decision to use the 'Doomsday Judgment'. Now the officials and nobles of the royal capital
The people are in danger and eager to gain the king's trust. There is no obstacle in winning over them. If I propose this matter to the king in a few days, most of them will agree and there will be no problem."
The ambassador said: "That's good. It will be dangerous for you to stay in the capital city after the general said this. I have already started to help you arrange an escape route. I will wait until the 'Doomsday Judgment' is used on the Demon Moon Army."
You can leave."
"Well. Once the taboo magic of 'Doomsday Judgment' is used, it will be almost impossible for the Holy and Demonic countries to easily stop their war. By then, they will fight to the point of darkness, and the world will surely be in turmoil. After the entire world is greatly weakened,
Our goal has been achieved."
The ambassador said: "You must be very careful during this period. Although the direct communication between you and the chief general is in our imperial language, but using the Tongyi Stone to communicate with people in this secret language, once Radat
Once you know it, you will become somewhat suspicious of you."
Du An nodded: "Don't worry, unless it's very important, I will try to have as little contact with the general as possible. If anything happens, I will send someone to inform you."
"You can't leave the party for too long. I will leave by myself later."
"Well, then I'll go back to the cocktail party."
…
The bustling city, the noisy streets, and the lights in the royal capital are still so bright at night. Walking in the city that countless people yearn for, the steps under Linda's feet seemed a little cold. After Bing Zhixie left, she felt
A heart that is bored, has nothing to do, and has no one to accompany it is the loneliest heart.
My heart is not completely lonely. There is only a trace of a bond that cares about the person on the other side. Thousands of miles away, there is a trace of a bond. I wonder if the person who is being cared about far away is still missing me.
"Hey~!" I sighed softly. This sigh contained countless helplessness. What I sighed was that my heart was like a leaf of duckweed. It took many years to finally find someone I could rely on. I was helpless.
, it’s duckweed’s trace of concern, I don’t know how long it can hold the other side.
Some people always know how to cherish happiness, but when they know that happiness will soon pass away, the sadness in their hearts becomes even more helpless.
My footsteps are wandering and aimless. In this big city, home is where he is. Without him, I can't find a place where I can feel at ease.
The bar is just ahead. Many people don't really like drinking, but the taste of wine can temporarily numb the empty heart.
"Is she the same kind of person?"
Figures of people crossed each other and passed each other. When Linda entered the bar, Maxin was leaving her. People who drink alone in the bar will always attract the attention of those who share the same disease. Linda did not stop or look.
She glanced at it and just asked herself boredly in her heart.
