Rise In Calradia

"What's the matter, soldier, has Kesto attacked our border?"

King Griffith frowned. The soldier was his own messenger and one of his confidants. He was sent out to inquire about Kesto's movements before, so his presence would naturally not bring any good news.

"The border is the same as before, Your Majesty, but the content of this letter is probably as serious as the border issue. You must read it quickly." The messenger handed the secret letter to King Griffith.

"Huh?" The king raised one eyebrow, obviously a little puzzled. He opened the letter, took out a few notes and a crumpled note, swept his eyes a few times, and his fingers were gripping more and more. tight.

"Can you confirm it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the evidence points to this." The messenger nodded and replied with great certainty.

"What is the important military situation? Your Majesty." Earl Tubiton came over curiously.

"It is indeed an important matter. It seems that there is a traitor around us, and it is the one we least want." King Griffith's rare face was ashen. Obviously, this news is enough to make a monarch feel angry and disturbed.

"Alfrant, the protector of Jerkara, the city defense officer I personally promoted, has been in contact with Von Byron for the past few months, and is suspected of conspiring to betray us!"

"Alfrant? I know that guy from a lowly background!" Earl Tubbedon scolded him immediately when he heard the name. He never really believed in the lowly guy who came from a thief's son. In his opinion, the lucky guy was just a fluke after being discovered by the king to get his favor and a status that did not belong to him. After all, he and his father who was in prison were still the same thing.

"He's never been trusted, Your Majesty, it's not that I'm questioning your thoughts, it's just that he's not the same as us at all, he's not a member of the nobility, he's even lower than that Von Byron , it is unrealistic to expect him to be loyal to you for the sake of honor, he will be loyal to you for the sake of gold, and naturally he will sacrifice his life for those who bid higher!"

Earl Tubiton's words were harsh, but the king remained silent and did not say much. In fact, not only Earl Tubiton, since this appointment was issued, there have been few nobles in the kingdom who did not object. Whether it is an old family with a long history or a rookie rising after independence, they are strongly opposed to letting such a person join the ranks of the nobility, and always doubt his loyalty. The evidence in front of them now seems to be the best proof of their worries.

"I still can't believe that he is so loyal to my usual performance, but now..." The king frowned and looked at the letter in his hand. There was no doubt that the seal was his own, who had only obtained it in recent years. The emblem of the noble vassal, the handwriting is obviously his writing, and there are not only one, but three such letters, and the content of one is relatively brief, mainly to negotiate with Byron on the price of smuggled materials, One is to reply to a plan to agree, and the last one is to explain the chaos in the country and that the plan can be started. There are many words of betrayal to the kingdom, and even asks if he can get the whole city later. management, this is definitely an open traitorous act!

"Swadia's appointment of Byron as a noble lord may be beneficial, but it's more troublesome in the long run. We appointed Alfrant, but now he betrays us. It seems that the commoners should not be in the ranks after all. On the side of a noble man, Your Majesty, we must remove him now to avoid unbearable consequences for us at this critical moment."

Generally speaking, a crime involving a noble’s possible treason requires careful investigation before a conclusion can be drawn. But the current situation is tense, and there is not much time to think about it. Within two days, the army must be assembled and set off. The king must make a decision immediately, and in any case, the city defense officer must be replaced, so as not to fight on the front line after the war. At that time, the rear was attacked by Feng Byron.

In addition, King Griffith is also very clear that although there is only one Earl of Tubiton in front of him, he represents the mainstream aristocratic class of Rhodok. If even he who is so close to himself has this attitude, then there is no need to go there. Protect the city defense officer. Although he is very capable and loyal, he is not his confidant after all. The reason why he was appointed as the city defense officer of Jalkara was mainly because the original Jalkara was in the hinterland of the kingdom, far away from the threat of the enemy, and there was no such city defense pressure as it is today.

"Go to Alfrit immediately, arrest him for treason, remove him from all positions and strip him of his councillor title, put him under house arrest. Also, don't let his family leave the city, the rest will wait until I get back Decide."

The king went to the tower and gave orders to the guards, and the messenger and another sergeant immediately set off, and twenty heavily armed Rhodok senior spearmen followed him on the mission to ensure that the opponent resisted. can still bring him. In addition, they were authorized to mobilize the militia team in the city if necessary, and let hundreds of militiamen in the nearby streets directly press up to arrest each other.

But looking at the departing guards, the king sighed. Now, they must choose a new city guard.

"How is Borgia?" suggested the count.

"That old fool who loves money like his life?" The king raised his eyebrows and looked at Earl Tubiton in disbelief.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that old fool who loves money like his life." Earl Tubiton nodded affirmatively, and then quickly added.

"He is outrageously greedy, but his family is indeed rich, and he relies on you to obtain wealth, which is something that Byron can't give him, although he is not smart, but because of this And obviously he won't betray you, after all, it's like betraying himself."

"Indeed, if this counts as loyalty, then he is qualified." The king smiled slightly mockingly, and then asked a second question: "But his ability is not very good, I remember he has a competent deputy? "

"You remember right, Your Majesty, Clare is his deputy, that young man is also from a famous family, very smart, well-liked, and has a lot of experience in handling trivial matters, and he will not do anything stupid in that old fool. Yes." Earl Tubiton's expression softened a lot when he spoke of Klar, and it could be seen that he admired this young man very much.

"In that case, let Borgia be the city defense officer, and he will support us even more. We need his family's gold and soldiers now. But just in case, we should also strengthen the city defense and stay Enough soldiers to protect Jerkara."
