The King's Follower [Rebirth]

"I didn't ask you to kill him." Andre said lightly, "Don't be so excited, relax, I haven't finished my words yet."

He knew that Stephen would definitely agree. After spending a few months with the king's younger brother, he thoroughly understood the other party's nature and clearly knew how selfish the other party was. His refusal now was just because he didn't look at him. to greater benefit.But when he heard his rebellious request, the other party didn't attack him immediately, fled here, and found William to confess and ask for help. This has already explained everything. Stephen will definitely agree, since he stayed and planned to negotiate with him At that time, he had already agreed.

In fact, the handle he used to threaten Stephen was neither small nor big, except that Stephen was full of resentment and dissatisfaction and cursed Edward during this period, it was something that Stephen himself accidentally revealed It happened a year ago. At that time, William's army was still competing with the king's army for the capital of Lyman. The battle was stalemate and tense. Edward was by William's side, often going to and from various legions to appease the soldiers. Boost morale.Edward is very dedicated and does not slack off because of his relationship with William. Like other priests, he insists on praying for and treating soldiers on the battlefield, often putting himself in danger, and never hiding during the battle. to a safe location.Although the priests who are sub-orcs have no self-protection ability and need other soldiers to protect themselves, which adds a certain burden to them, but this has a very obvious effect on improving morale. When the soldiers see the weak sub-orcs When the orc priests accompanied them without fear, all of them were full of fighting spirit and severely damaged the king's army.

At that time, Stephen was dissatisfied that William only cared about Edward's situation every day, but he was indifferent to himself who was underage but still had to suffer with the army on the front line. Edward, who was praying, didn't know why he did such a thing. He raised the energy cannon that William rationed him to protect himself, and hit the leg of a soldier beside Edward, causing a small hole in his protective circle. A small gap, and this gap almost made the enemy soldiers rush over and hurt Edward.

He did it covertly, and besides, energy cannons and magic were flying across the battlefield, and sometimes it was very common to accidentally injure one's own people. This soldier only injured his thigh, so no one thought about pursuing this matter.But Stephen kept it in his heart, this feeling of excitement, fear and guilt had been tormenting him, and as Edward's status in William's mind improved, as he felt that he was less and less valued, the feeling of guilt The feeling gradually disappeared, and now there was only regret, regret for Edward's survival, and the joy that he was able to eliminate the enemy by a little bit.

Andre knew that this was a secret that William must not know.For those whining and complaining, Stephen can still use jealousy and jealousy as an excuse, but it is a naked murder, William will not forgive him, maybe he will not kill him, but once this matter is leaked, Stephen will forever Lost William's trust, it is very likely that he will not be able to be reused for a lifetime.

And this is absolutely intolerable to Stephen.He is a man who puts his own interests above everything else.Listen to his justification, the reason why he refused to do it was because he didn't know what good it would be for him to hurt the king, and once this benefit was given to him, even if he still had a bit of conscience in his heart, he would be punished by this possibility. The benefits gradually wear off.

This kind of person is the easiest to control.

"You don't have to kill him, Stephen." Andre put away his usual harmlessness and gentleness, with a kind of contempt in his eyes and the kind of aggression that is unique to the superior, "Besides , you can’t do this, I won’t let you do things beyond your control.”

Stephen was stung by the contempt in his eyes. He hated others looking at him with this kind of eyes. Since he followed William back to the capital, he has been living under this kind of eyes. Even now, William became the king, When everyone came to curry favor with him, he still wondered if there was contempt and disdain behind the seemingly friendly eyes of the other party.

Andre took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Stephen.Stephen stared at him for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally took it: "What is this?" He asked, opened the lid, and inside was a brooch full of flowers, which was used to hold back when attending a wedding. On the chest, some people will use flowers but it doesn't mean that no one will use gems.

"I don't need you to kill William." Andre didn't directly answer his question, "You just need to let him lose his mobility for a period of time, such as coma, such as injury, in short, there is no way to command the war, and then shake him. The morale of the army is low. You know, I am the real King, King George's man. What King George wants to do is to recover his country. Although I really want you to kill William, I know that this It’s a bit difficult to implement. If you can’t do it, poisoning, poisoning will be discovered, assassination, you don’t have the strength, I won’t force you. So, I narrowed down the requirements a little, you can make him unconscious woke up."

As he spoke, he picked up the brooch in the box. The main body of the brooch was a medical lily. Andre gently twisted the stem of the lily, and then removed the lily from the brooch. In the stem, was Some white powder exuded a sweet smell of flowers, if he didn't say it, he would think it was some kind of sugar made from nectar.

"This is a medicinal powder made from the nectar of a flower called Durand lily. It has a strong coma effect and can last for four to five days. Of course, don't worry, it's just a coma." Andre explained Said, "If it is poison, it must have a pungent smell and a bitter taste, and it will definitely be discovered. Can you give me a poison with a sweet taste? Therefore, this is not poison. William married On that night, before he and his partner fulfill their partner's duties in front of the royal family, he must accept the wine offered by each relative and friend. You put this medicine in the wine glass you offer. The medicine will not be effective at that time. It takes about 10 minutes for the attack, so your problem will not be exposed, and this medicine is only available to King George. Your people have never seen this medicine, no matter how you check it, you will not find it. Any problem, it is impossible to find out about you."

Seeing Stephen's expression hesitated, Andre knew that he had persuaded him: "Don't worry, he will wake up in four or five days, he will be healthy, and there will be no sequelae. At that time, King George has already regained his Most of the territory. You don’t have nothing, but you will lose some things that don’t belong to you.”

"Why would I do this kind of thing." Stephen said softly, "Because you caught my handle? Let me tell you, this handle is nothing, and William will forgive me. After all, I was not yet an adult at the time, a minor Adult orcs always do stupid things."

Andre smiled knowingly, and said: "When William was in a coma, as the younger brother of the new king, you had the opportunity to participate in state affairs, showing both your loyalty and your ability, so Jin Jin The title of knighthood is just around the corner. Besides, we won’t let you work for nothing.” He took out a scroll from his pocket, which was a storage scroll, and Stephen opened it for a look, and there was a large amount of money stored in it The money, and a lot of high-level magic crystals.

"As an aristocrat, socializing is a very expensive activity." Andre said, "William planned his wedding extravagantly, but he is so demanding on your living expenses."

"He didn't." Stephen explained feebly. Intellectually, he knew that William gave him a lot of money, and William's wedding was also his own money, and he didn't use the treasury or abuse the citizens' taxes. But emotionally, he still felt deeply unfair. He couldn't stand such a difference. He knew that he shouldn't go along with Andre's sowing discord, but he really felt that what the other party said was right.

"After it's done, there will be another half," Andre said. "This money is enough to make you socially popular before you get promoted and become an earl, or even a duke."

"I can't do this." Stephen said softly, but he held the box containing the brooch in one hand and the scroll in the other, and stood there, motionless.

"No, you can." Andre patted him on the shoulder, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't be stupid."

King William's wedding took place on a sunny and sunny day, and the entire king's capital was as bright and joyful as the sun on this day.Although the wedding ceremony and coronation ceremony will not start until two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone wears flowers on their chests and festive costumes, and they are already gathered on the road from the palace to the cathedral, waiting to see King William and his future queen.

The road from the palace to the cathedral has been sprinkled with red roses, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of plants full of vitality.On both sides of the road, quite a few people carried flower baskets in their hands, intending to wait for the king's team to pass by and throw flowers to him.Every house in Wangdu is decorated with a true blue Wangqi, fluttering in the air.

Everyone waited until one o'clock, and suddenly, the church bell began to ring, and two soldiers riding white winged horses, wearing armor and wearing flowers on their chests galloped out from the gate of the palace. , to remind everyone that the king and the new queen will appear soon, and go to the church to inform the Pope and the guests to prepare for the ceremony.

Everyone immediately cheered.
