Chapter 388: His Majesty's Pleading(1/2)
The twilight old man who sat on the throne was in his final years. The breath of life seemed to be slipping away from him every moment. His frail body had to lean on the throne to sit up straight, and his originally bright eyes were clouded.
grey.
Han Shuo followed Candida in and glanced at Uhtred, who was running out of time above. Han Shuo knew that he was indeed going to die. No wonder the power struggle between several princes of the Lancelot Empire was so fierce.
flagrant.
"Your Majesty, Count Brian has come to see you!" Candida said respectfully after coming over to salute.
Uhtred coughed violently for a while, and his gray eyes gradually gained a bit more life. He managed to straighten his body, glanced at Candida and Han Shuo, and finally fixed his gaze on Han Shuo, asking feebly.
: "Brian, Candida has told me what you have done in Brettel City these days. You have done really well!"
"Your Majesty, thank you. This is what I should do." Han Shuo communicated with Candida on the way when he came. He understood that it is best not to speak easily when facing such a person, as long as he answers what he asks.
"I heard that there are rumors that you have some connection with the Church of Natural Disaster. Haha, it's really interesting. You have a clean origin and have made many contributions to the Lancelot Empire. How could you be involved with that evil church?" Ute
Reid talked to himself, as if he had only heard it.
"Your Majesty, it is clear that those are just rumors spread by some enemies." Han Shuo replied. "Then, do you know who is spreading rumors and what their motives are?" Uhtred looked at Han Shuo and asked.
Shaking his head, Han Shuo said: "I don't know."
"Candida, please go down first. I have something I want to talk to Brian alone." Uhtred did not ask further questions on this matter. Instead, he glanced at Candida and ordered softly.
Candida didn't talk nonsense. She kowtowed to Uhtred and turned around to leave the hall. But when she passed by Han Shuo, Candida glanced at Han Shuo, indicating that Han Shuo had something he shouldn't say.
Don't say it.
After Candida left, Uhtred suddenly sighed and said: "Among the sons, the one I owe the most is Lawrence. I heard that you and Lawrence are very close. Is that right?"
Han Shuo was shocked and was a little unsure of what Uhtred meant. The relationship between him and Lawrence was probably known to most nobles in Ossen City. Uhtred knew that his relationship with Lawrence was not unusual at all.
Han Shuo hesitated for a moment and nodded honestly. He replied: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"So, you must support Lawrence?" Uhtred asked again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Shuo replied again.
Uhtred was silent for a long time, his eyes staring deeply at Han Shuo. It was not until Han Shuo felt a little uncomfortable that Uhtred spoke up: "Bryan, there are some things I want to discuss with you.
?” “Your Majesty, if you have any questions, just ask me. As your subject, I will naturally share all your worries.” Han Shuo answered again.
Uhtred sighed. Suddenly he stared at Han Shuo and said, "Brian, I hope you will promise me that no matter how my other three sons treat you, please spare their lives."
Han Shuo was dumbfounded, looked at Uhtred in confusion, and asked, "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"Brian, if you agree to this condition, I will pass the throne to Lawrence and help you run the Lancelot Empire." Uhtred stared at Han Shuo and said cautiously.
Han Shuo's heart stirred up a huge wave. He looked at Uhtred in shock. For a moment, he didn't know what was wrong with Uhtred, so he could say such words inexplicably. It's just that.
He looked at Uhtred blankly and forgot to answer.
"You agree to this condition, and I will help you and Lawrence, what do you think?" Uhtred asked immediately, looking a little anxious, even with a hint of pleading.
As the true ruler of the Lancelot Empire, as long as Uhtred survives for a day, no matter how seriously ill he is, he is still the most powerful person in the Lancelot Empire. But at this moment, Uhtred
The tone of his conversation with Han Shuo was strangely filled with a hint of pleading, which Han Shuo never expected.
For a moment, Han Shuo even thought that Uhtred was too sick, so he talked nonsense in a daze. However, when Han Shuo observed Uhtred carefully, he realized that although Uhtred was
The body is extremely weak, but the soul is not disordered at all, which shows that Uhtred's thoughts are indeed normal.
When Han Shuo was extremely surprised, Uhtred asked again. Han Shuo's mind turned around rapidly, and then he tentatively asked Uhtred: "As long as the three princes are spared their lives?
Is it okay?”
Nodding heavily, Uhtred looked happy and said hurriedly: "Yes, as long as you leave them a life, you can strip them of all their rights, and even imprison them in a small place. As long as you let them
Just stay alive."
"Then, I promise you, Your Majesty!" Han Shuo no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.
His Majesty Uhtred, the real leader of the Lancelot Empire, was visibly relieved. A smile appeared on his weak face, and he waved his hand and said: "Brian, I will grant you the title of Marquis now. In addition, I will
Let Mr. Sabokas, the Space Saint Magister, help Brettel City build a magic teleportation array, and help you get rid of the negative news that is not good for you, and also..."
A series of promises were suddenly narrated from Uhtred's mouth. Han Shuo was confused for a moment. He was stunned and didn't know what Uhtred was doing today. After Uhtred finished speaking, this
Then he said: "Brian, please go down. I hope you won't tell anyone about today's events, not even Candida or even Lawrence."
"Your Majesty, I promise you, but can you tell me the reason? I really don't understand why you made such a decision." Han Shuo looked at Uhtred with dumbfounded eyes and said.
Shaking his head, Uhtred said with a wry smile: "It's better that you don't know, I'm thinking about it for you. You go down!"
Han Shuo felt like he was in the clouds, looking at Uhtred inexplicably. He was stunned for a moment before frowning, bowing to Uhtred and retreating. His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't know who he should talk to.
After Han Shuo left, Uhtred seemed to have aged a lot, and sighed: "As a father, I have done everything I can for you three. I hope you can survive after my death."
In front of Uhtred, the space system holy mage Sabokas and the old astrologer Mrs. Grace suddenly appeared. The old astrologer Mrs. Grace looked pale, as if she might be ahead of Uhtred.
It was like death, with almost no breath of life left in his body.
When Uhtred saw the two people appearing, he sighed again. Looking at the old astrologer Mrs. Grace, he said: "Teacher, I have never doubted your judgment in all these years. You said that this Brian can really help Lance."
Is the Lotor Empire prosperous?"
Grace wriggled her lips, as if she wanted to drive away the wrinkles on her thick mouth, and replied in a weak voice: "Your Majesty, you asked me to spend my life on a divination. I only know that whoever this person helps will be able to become a new person."
The king of Lancelot, as long as he is in the Lancelot Empire, the Lancelot Empire will not be destroyed, that’s all!”
"This is enough. I never thought that the person who would influence the future of our Lancelot Empire would be such a young guy." Uhtred muttered to himself, and then looked at the astrologer and Sabokas.
Suddenly he said: "My days are numbered. I hope you will promise me something after my death."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to warn me. I think I might leave this world before you. Over the years, I have become tired and my life has finally come to an end." The old astrologer Grace sighed slightly,
Said helplessly to Uhtred.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. You have wasted your life force because of the Lancelot Empire." Uhtred understood that Mrs. Grace, the old astrologer, would waste her life force every time she divined the future. The more huge things were involved, the more earth wasted.
The more vitality there is.
This divination of the fate of the entire Lancelot Empire has completely exhausted all her vitality. Her death can be said to have been caused by Uhtred. However, for the future of the Lancelot Empire, Uttred
De had no choice but to ask the old astrologer to give a clear indication.
Even without the prediction of the old astrologer Mrs. Grace, things might go according to the track. However, the struggle for power among several princes will inevitably cause irreparable losses to the national strength of the Lancelot Empire. In that case, even if Han Shuo supports
If Lawrence succeeds in seizing power, the Lancelot Empire will not be as powerful as before.
It is precisely because Uhtred is afraid of this situation that he would rather let the old astrologer spend his life to predict the future, in order to minimize the loss of national power, so that the Lancelot Empire will remain the same after Lawrence succeeds to the throne.
Prosperity remains as before.
"You don't need to apologize. My teacher died of overwork all his life for the national destiny of the Lancelot Empire. This is probably the fate of our astrologers, hey..." Mrs. Grace, the old astrologer, sighed helplessly, and then looked at Sabokas
, said: "In my short time, I hope you can send me to see some places I have never been to."
"Don't worry, no matter where you want to go, I can take you there." Sabokas replied with a kind smile, then looked away at His Majesty Uhtred of the Lancelot Empire and asked: "
Your Majesty, what did you just want to tell me?"
"If Brian doesn't keep his promise, I hope you can help me kill him." Uhtred hesitated and said to Sabokas.
"Your Majesty, I promise you that you can only do your best. In time, this young man may not be something I can deal with. I hope you can forgive me." Space Holy Magister Sabokas thought carefully before answering Uhtred.
When he reaches the state of Sabokas, he is already beyond transcendence and rights. Even the king of the Lancelot Empire has no right to instruct him to do something he doesn't want to do. Sabokas learned from the predictions of the astrologer Grace
, vaguely knew something, and then answered Uhtred like this.
Uhtred nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Master."
"Okay, Your Majesty should be busy with a lot of things, so we won't disturb you." Sabokas replied in a neither arrogant nor humble manner. He glanced at the old astrologer Grace, and a white light enveloped the two of them.
The person disappeared without a trace in an instant. His Majesty Uhtred of the Lancelot Empire had already begun to help Lawrence pave the way.
After Han Shuo returned to the mansion from the palace, he found that Lawrence and Phoebe were waiting early in the evening without waiting until evening. It seemed that they were both very eager to see Han Shuo.
Phoebe's bright eyes were shining brightly, and her gaze never left Han Shuo. After Han Shuo dismissed the servants and led the two of them into the inner living room, Phoebe said angrily: "You guy, what's wrong with you in Ossen City?"
You haven’t come to see me all this time, maybe you’re too happy in Brettel City and you’ve forgotten the old person I am.”
Han Shuo was a little confused along the way. He kept thinking about what His Majesty Uhtred said to him. He couldn't figure out what happened to Uhtred to make such a weird suggestion.
Now when he heard Phoebe's coquettish words, Han Shuo came to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Miss, no one can forget you. Do you know what good things I have? The first thing I think of is you. Otherwise, then
How could the starry sky be in your hands so quickly?"
When Han Shuo said this, Phoebe's beautiful cheeks became more joyful and her voice softened a lot. She hummed: "Then what shameful things have you done since you have been in Ossen City for so long?
I have been here several times, but the housekeeper always said that you are not in the mansion."
"That's because I have some serious business to do. I spent most of my time attending meetings at the Dark Curtain Headquarters. I just went to the Imperial Palace. Anyway, I'm not idle." Han Shuo explained to Phoebe.
"Okay, okay. If you two have anything to say, I'll leave later. You can talk slowly." Lawrence teased, then looked at Han Shuo and said, "Bryan, you just came out of the palace. My father is looking for you."
What did you talk about?"
When Lawrence said this, Phoebe blushed, as if thinking of some wonderful things that would happen to her and Han Shuo after Lawrence left, she suddenly blushed and became silent.
Han Shuo knew what Lawrence was thinking about. After he said this, he remembered the agreement between His Majesty the King and him just now. He couldn't help but feel doubtful again. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said to Lawrence: "Lawrence. I agreed.
Your Majesty, the conversation between me and him will not be disclosed to third parties. Your Majesty specially told me before I left that I should not tell you about my conversation with him."
