Chapter 288 Lonely God
The next day, Grab woke up sleepily, and there were two maids beside him. One was helping him to dress, and the other was carrying a plate, pouring breakfast such as rye croutons, nuts, bacon, and boiled eggs into his mouth. delivery.

Grabow stretched out his hand when he came to eat, he opened his mouth when he came to eat, and the maid took care of everything.

This is not an isolated phenomenon. In fact, many nobles have such habits. They are not really lazy, but just enjoy the feeling of being served and superior when they are lazy.

After changing his clothes and eating breakfast, Grab touched the maid's white silk thigh, took his saber, and rode away from the government mansion, ready to discuss today's arrest plan with Bolton.

As soon as he arrived at the station of the Guard Corps, Grabo suddenly found that the atmosphere today was not quite right. Not only were there several times more sentries, but there were many flags, which could be called three steps, one sentry and five steps, one post, and senior officers kept passing by. They exchanged something solemnly, and the atmosphere was no different from the state of wartime.

At this time, two commanders of the Guards Legion passed by Grab, and the voice of conversation came faintly:
"God damn cub, finally caught him."

"He really threw himself into a trap. He dared to go to the bedroom of His Royal Highness in the middle of the night and talk nonsense to sow discord. He is absolutely finished this time."

"What do you think His Royal Highness will do with him?"

"Beheading the capital is too light. I think it will be Ling Chi, and all his descendants will be killed. Those people in the dungeon should not even try to escape!"

"Hehe, when the time comes, we must execute the punishment in public, so that other young people will know the fate of assassinating the prince!"

Hearing this, Grab couldn't help being startled, and hurried up to ask: "Both, who are you talking about? Are you talking about Administrator Chino? Have you caught him?!"

Just as one commander was about to answer, the other interrupted him by raising his hand, and said to Grab in a low voice, "We have nothing to say. If you want to know the specific situation, you can go to His Royal Highness yourself."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask him myself." Grab said goodbye to the two in a hurry, and trotted all the way to the general's tent.

In the account, although Bolton was injured, he has been an extremely self-disciplined soldier since he was a child. Even if he was injured, he would never stay in bed. He was up and working at dawn, and he was annotating military documents at this time.

Grab leaned forward to enter the account, and asked respectfully, "Your Highness, I heard that you captured Administrator Chino? Why didn't you announce this exciting news to the public?"

Bolton continued to annotate the document without raising his head, and asked calmly, "Where did you hear it?"

Grab nodded and smiled apologetically, "I see that there are several times more guard posts outside than before, and the guards seem to have mentioned it in their words, so I guessed it myself."

Bolton put down his pen, snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly, "Don't guess randomly about such things in the future, it won't do you any good, you know?"

"I know I know." Grab hurriedly responded.

Bolton continued: "You guessed it right. Chino was just arrested yesterday. He ran into my room in the middle of the night, talking nonsense, soliciting truth, and trying to confuse my judgment in order to clear his name. Heh, I Although he is not a scheming person, how can he be instigated by him? At the end of the chat, I pretended to cater to him, let him relax his vigilance, and finally secretly recruited guards to arrest him. "

"Your Highness is really alert!" Grab's voice was a little hurried, with a faint look of impatience. "Does that mean I need to set up a torture platform in the near future?"

Bolton shook his head: "Don't worry, I found some doubts in the confession of Administrator Chino. I suspect that someone may be behind his assassination. It's not as simple as it seems, and we still need to examine it carefully."

There was an erratic look in Grab's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Then, where is Administrator Chino now?"

"He is now" Bolton paused in the middle of speaking, frowning, "you don't need to worry about the rest of the matter, I will arrange it, you just need to handle the daily government affairs of Thunder Cloud City. I heard Lorna say Now, you are very mean, and you whip civilians at every turn!"

"Although I'm just a general of the Guard Corps, I don't have a civilian title, and I can't control you, but the "Governor" Edward Troy of the Beacon Province was my former military leader. If you continue to show off your power and bully civilians all day long, I will But I have to talk to him a few words. "

Grab was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no! Never again! I will definitely be an administrator who loves the people like a son!"

"You'd better." Bolton picked up his pen and continued to review the documents, and said nonchalantly, "Although I was shot on your territory, I should question you, but you have been doing your best to cooperate the past few days. The work of arresting is more merit than demerit. At 6:[-] o'clock this evening, I will hold a celebration banquet, and you bring your colleagues along, and I will reserve a place of honor for you."

Not only was he freed from punishment, but he was also invited as a guest of honor. Graber was overjoyed: "I am flattered by your generosity! I will definitely arrive on time!"

"Well, let's go." Bolton waved his hand.

"Farewell, Your Highness." Grab bowed and left with a nod.

The tent returned to silence, only the sound of the pen nib rubbing against the paper.

"What do you think?" Suddenly, Bolton said.

"Crack." There was the sound of candy being crushed in the curtain behind Bolton, and Kino's voice came slowly: "This person is so stupid that it opened my eyes. He dug a hole and jumped in, saying that he Being mentally handicapped is flattering him, but the people behind him can take advantage of this kind of idiot to arrange the assassination plan so meticulously. This black hand behind the scenes should not be underestimated."

Bolton: "Do you want to re-plan your future plans?"

Chino: "Not for the time being, go ahead, just don't make any mistakes on your side."

The tent returned to silence again, and the wind occasionally blows in from outside the tent, playing with the messy papers.

"I have a question. Actually, I wanted to ask you yesterday." Bolton turned his face sideways and looked sideways at the curtain, as if he was watching the person eating candy behind him, his eyes were deep and deep, "If, I If your analysis of the crown prince dispute yesterday is not unreasonable, then among the three of us, who would you stand on?"

Chino: "I don't like faction fighting, I don't take sides."

Bolton: "Everyone who is asked this question will give the same answer as you-no side. But in fact, they have already made their bets in their hearts."

Silence, no one speaks.

Bolton: "Actually, what I want to ask the most is, is there another purpose for you to have such a good relationship with Solan now?"

"Crack." Another candy was crushed. I don't know if it was an illusion. Kino's voice seemed to be inexplicably sad: "There is no purpose. It's just that I was born with something missing, and Solandelle handed it to me." , I also want to try to hold it in my hand and see what it feels like to have it."

Bolton: "What?"

Chino: "Friend."

Bolton was silent for a long time, then turned back silently, his eyes were deeper than before, and said quietly: "Yes, even though you are just a mortal, Twilight Reaper, everyone respects you, just like the real Reaper. Once you are revered by others, you will stand tall , there is no way to talk about family affection, love, friendship, or any other feelings—"

"Gods are lonely."
