As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

Bazel replied:

"But it's very difficult to actually operate... Swain is one of the people with the highest status in Farnes. As long as he deliberately hides from us, I have no chance to contact him."

"Unless you want to forcibly break into the airship and capture him for public display."

She smiled and said:

"Let's not talk about the risk of doing so. If he really has become the puppet of the Black Witch, we may not be able to subdue him with just the two of us."

"Then what if it's the prime minister's order?"

The silver-haired girl's eyes brightened:

"He is the envoy sent by Farnes... Now that the old king is dead, and there is no conflict between the princes fighting for the throne, Prime Minister Christopher must have taken full power."

"If we can meet Sven with the prime minister of the kingdom, will we have a chance to reveal his secret?"

"Well, that's a good idea."

Bazel considered for a while, then nodded in agreement with her proposal:

"Well, anyway, we have to take the elves to the palace. That old guy Christopher is probably there too, so let's do the two things together."

As a result, after entering the palace, the two were shocked when they saw the old king Bruno sitting on the throne!

"Damn it, that shameless black witch actually resurrected the king?"

Ai Wen never expected that the other party would play this move, her heart sank immediately.

"Elf messenger..."

The old king raised one hand sickly, and waved it expressionlessly:

"I already know the purpose of your visit, and I will give you an answer soon."

"—Egwene Garcia."

Then he suddenly called out the name of the silver-haired girl:

"Come to my study with Lord Christopher later."

Then, without waiting for the silver-haired girl to reply, she stood up from the throne and left the hall with the help of the guards.

Seeing the king leave, Egwene's face suddenly became very ugly.

If the king's order is "come to my chamber", she has many ways to evade it, and no one else will say anything.

But it is very common to meet courtiers in the study, not to mention that there is a prime minister by his side, so I have no reason to refuse.

Chapter 220 The Witch's Letterhead

"To go, or not to go?"

The silver-haired girl stood there with a cloudy expression, and her heart was churning:

Open disobedience is undoubtedly the worst choice.

But if you go to the study according to the king's will, God knows what is waiting for you.

"Bazel, pay attention to my signal later."

In the end, she broke her heart and decided to see what the other party was planning to do:

"In case there is a battle later, I need your support."

"Be careful."

Bazel replied in a low voice:

"The king's strength is very weak, but there may be a strong man lurking in the study, and I can't detect the other party's breath for the time being."

"It's not so easy to want my life."

The silver-haired girl smiled, and walked in the direction the king left.

Hearing the order just now, the other ministers were also very surprised:

——Every time there is a major issue that is difficult to solve, the king will go to the study with Prime Minister Christopher to discuss it. This is already a common practice.

But why call a new viscount this time?

They would have been relieved if the king had summoned the silver-haired girl alone: another innocent girl was about to be murdered.

Those who don't like Ai Wen will even laugh and celebrate.

However, the prime minister also went there together, this move is a bit puzzling, it is not possible to have a threesome, right?

You must know that Bruno is a very jealous king, and he has never shared the hobby of beautiful women with others.

While many people were either maliciously or benignly guessing the reason why the silver-haired girl was called in, Aiwen had already entered the study room led by the court knights.

In the study, the ashen-faced king sat behind the desk, looking drowsy.

There were five guards with swords on each side, and several maids.

One of the maids was pouring wine for the king. The fragrant smell of wine permeated the study, and the overall atmosphere did not look serious.

"Go down."

The old king raised his bony hand and picked up the wine glass.

Then he waved twice to the maids and guards next to him:

"Stay far away, and no one is allowed to come near without my order."

What is this old bastard up to?

Originally, Ai Wen thought that the other party was planning to harm her, and she was already prepared to go all out when she came in.

But instead of making excuses to confiscate her sword, the king drove everyone away, making her feel a little uncertain again:

Could it be that the king was not resurrected from the dead, but was pretended by the Black Witch faction?

Want to take your own life with your own strength without the presence of outsiders?

Just as she was guessing the king's intention to call her over, Prime Minister Christopher also entered the study.

Compared with her, the old prime minister's expression was very calm, without any disturbance.

He even nodded slightly to her after he came in, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Egwene Garcia..."

With trembling lips, the king called out the silver-haired girl's name in an inarticulate voice:

"How do you think the high elves were attacked in the kingdom's territory this time?"

——What kind of rice?

Egwen wondered if there was something wrong with her ears:

Why would you ask for your own opinion on such an important decision?

Could it be a trap?

She subconsciously looked at the Prime Minister standing beside her.

Christopher shook his head and reminded her:

"Your Majesty is asking you something...just say it boldly."

"I think there is a lot of doubt in this matter."

Egwene had no choice but to answer;

"Although Farnes has always had a tense relationship with the elves, he has no blood feud, so he won't directly carry out a massacre as soon as he comes up."

"And now that they are busy dealing with powerful enemies, there is absolutely no need to create extra problems at this time."

She said these were probing.

I want to see what the other party's reaction will be when they hear the word "strong enemy".

"Ah."

The king hummed.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Then he asked her the second question with a blank face, and he didn't seem to be stimulated by her words.

"...Of course we should first investigate the truth of the matter."

The silver-haired girl was even more puzzled.

But she answered the king's query anyway:

"I just came back from outside, so I don't know much about what happened in the capital;"

"If Farnes' airship is still there, we might as well go to the people inside to confirm it before deciding on the next move."
