honor me as god

Chapter 900 Exchange Conditions
According to the past traditions of Dogrand, on the 30th day of returning to the snow every year, there is one event that is indispensable, and that is the New Year's banquet in the royal palace and Solandelle's own birthday.

During the reign of Perseus, the New Year banquet was always full of excitement. The ministers from the six major provinces came to the meeting collectively. The banquet hall was filled with delicious food, wine and delicacies. The princess celebrated her birthday and drank until dawn.

However, after Solandelle came to power, this tradition has been canceled by her, because the New Year's banquet took up a lot of manpower and material resources, and it was of no benefit in essence. To put it bluntly, everyone made an appointment to get together Take public funds to eat, drink and have fun.

Instead of forcing people to come here to spend extravagantly, it is better to let everyone go back to spend more time with their families on New Year's Eve. If they really want to have a party, they can gather in private.

As for her birthday, she hadn't held a special banquet for so many years, and even forgot that Huixue's 30th was her birthday for several years, and only remembered it when Chino gave her a cake.

On the 525th day of Huixue in the year 30 of the Huo calendar, after the turmoil during the daytime when the statue of the Sun King was toppled, Wangcheng has returned to its usual New Year atmosphere at night.

As for the palace, although the New Year's banquet will no longer be held, the ministers will still gather in private, and tonight's banquet hall has gathered a group of high-ranking people in the true sense.

There is a long solid wooden table in the center of the banquet hall, and seven sets of crystal tableware are arranged in an orderly manner. The air is lingering with mysterious incense from the Flying Kite Province, and the dark and just right candlelight adds a sense of mystery to the atmosphere.

The waiters came in and out, constantly bringing exquisite food and wine, and a bandstand was specially set up in the corner. The luthier trained by the Prince Regent himself sat in front of the piano, playing the song "To the Little Princess" attentively, the melodious and elegant melody echoes in the hall.

Kino sat at the head of the table, looking indifferently at the six governors sitting on both sides, the atmosphere seemed a little delicate for some reason.

Chino: "You know? Usually at this time of year, I have already bought cakes and flowers and put them in front of Solandelle to wish her a happy birthday, instead of sitting here eating and drinking with six elderly people."

"So, if you invite me here, it's better not to waste my time."

Jashan smiled all over his face, held up his glass and said respectfully: "Thanks to the protection of the Lord Regent as always, the people can enjoy a happy life this year, we wish you."

"Tuk-tuk-tuk." Before Jashan finished speaking, Kino tapped the table three times with his knuckles.

Meaning: don't talk nonsense.

Jashan hurriedly apologized, put down his wine glass, and glanced at the luthier in the corner intentionally or unintentionally.

Kino looked sideways at the past, the luthier understood, finished playing, bowed and left.

There were only seven of them left in the restaurant, and finally an anxious look appeared on Jashan's face, and he said submissively: "My lord, we never want to take up your private time, but this time we really have something to ask for."

"We all have children, and you know that. Children. Sometimes we go out to drink together, and when we drink too much, we tend to be impulsive and do stupid things."

Jashan glanced at the two governors beside him, his face flushed a little, but he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said straight to the point: "The children of the three of us were arrested by the dead bird yesterday for some things. I beg the regent Sir Wang can be merciful and let the three of them go."

"Yesterday." Chino recalled in his mind, and quickly squinted his eyes, "You mean, those three teenagers who stabbed people to death in the tavern?"

Jashan and the others wiped the sweat off their faces and said in shame, "Yes."

The cause of this incident is not complicated——

Yesterday, the three governor's sons followed their father to Wangcheng to celebrate the new year. Because the New Year's banquet was cancelled, and the young people had their own circle, they didn't stay with their father, but went to the tavern to drink together.

Later, the three drank too much, had a quarrel with the civilians at the next table, quarreled and fought, and took out knives to surround and hack each other, hacking the person to death on the spot, and finally they were captured by the suicidal bird, Now in jail awaiting trial.

If it were the reign of Perseus or the earlier kings, it would not be a big deal for the governor's son who was born in the royal family to kill civilians. There are ten thousand ways to settle it. Whether the security guards dare to arrest people is a problem. .

But the Suicide Bird is different, these androids only have the instructions implanted by Kino in their minds.

Not to mention arresting the governor's son, if those three teenagers drank a little more yesterday and resisted arrest due to drunkenness, the defense mechanism of the dead bird would be triggered at that time, and the three of them would be shot and killed on the spot.

They were lucky yesterday, they were so frightened to wake up from drunkenness when they saw the dead bird, they didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, so they obediently captured them, otherwise they would have been corpses in pools of blood.

When his son was arrested, Jashan and other fathers would definitely not be able to sit still, and tried their best to preserve their own flesh and blood.

After all, hacking people to death in the street is punishable by death according to the law.

If Solandelle is in charge, the three teenagers will surely die.

Under the New Deal, the only person who can shake the code of law is the Lord Regent, so Jashan and the others rushed to find Kino to intercede.

After listening to the appeal, Kino shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know what can be changed here. It's a simple truth, isn't it?"

Jashan was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice: "My lord, they haven't passed their coming-of-age ceremony yet, they are all children! Children drink too much and are ignorant, they already know their mistakes! Please deal with them lightly."

Chino: "Generally speaking, juveniles can be punished lightly. Unfortunately, according to the law, vicious incidents such as intentional homicide will not be punished lightly because of their age."

The complexions of Jashan and the others suddenly became whiter than paper, their eyes were dull and speechless.

If Kino doesn't keep it, no one in this world can keep their son
Just when Jashan and the others were hopeless, Kino stood up. Everyone thought that he was going to leave without hesitation, only to find that the Regent Prince picked up the wine glass and walked behind them.

Kino shook the glass lightly, watched the fine wine rippling in the glass, and said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, let's talk about it."

"Go to any judge in the kingdom, and they will tell you that the code of law is supreme and cannot be violated. But if you ask me, what they say is all fake nonsense."

"Because Dogrand is not the code that decides everything. There is only one existence that can control the fate of others, and that is me—not the code, not the queen, not anyone, but me."

"I am very relieved that you can come to me today to intercede, because you have subconsciously recognized this matter. But the question is-why should I help you?"

"Or another way of asking, what can you give me after I help you?"
