Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]
Chapter 50 The Princess' Choice (7)
When the king drank, the rest of the people would naturally follow suit.
The maid had already walked to the place where the royal family members gathered, and lifted the delicate jug to fill up the small wine glasses in their hands one by one.
The female relatives were very restrained, pinching the small wine glass with their fingertips and taking a sip was regarded as having drunk.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and generals below were much more heroic, and they took up a large wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The king on the high platform was very satisfied with the obedience and respect given to him by this army, and he was more satisfied than any cabinet ministers or visiting missions before him.
This satisfaction made his emotions even more aroused, and even his breathing became a little short: "For glory and dignity!"
The army below also shouted:
"For glory and dignity!"
"For glory and dignity!"
"..."
The overwhelming shouts sounded, and the king on the high platform blushed and continued to shout loudly: "For the glory and, and..."
He got stuck halfway through his words.
Everyone in the audience saw that the king's face was extremely red, as if he was about to ooze blood from his skin.
His eyes widened suddenly, the veins on his forehead and neck were bulging, his face was twisted and hideous, he held his throat with one hand, took a few breaths in vain, and fell to the ground like a heavy mountain up.
The time before and after all these changes was only a few seconds. Everyone near the high platform watched the king fall down with a flushed face, and then lay motionless on the ground.
Princess Catherine was the first to react.
Her cheeks were pale, her delicate brows were slightly frowned, and her once beautiful face was now full of shock and sadness.She lifted her skirt and stood up abruptly from her seat, then ran towards the stage: "Father! Father!"
While running, she turned around and said to the guards in the audience: "Go and call the doctor!"
Only then did the others react.
Faced with such a sudden situation, especially when the emotions of the audience were mobilized and the changes occurred during the gradual climb, most people's first reaction was to be at a loss for a while.
At this time, the first person who reacted calmly and quickly gave a solution, the others will subconsciously obey the other party's orders.
Therefore, as soon as the guards under the high platform heard the voice of the order, they immediately replied: "Yes!"
After finishing speaking, the other party walked towards the direction of the doctor's house, even though he hadn't even fully figured out what happened, he had already begun to follow this instruction instinctively.
Princess Catherine said to the head of the border garrison who was standing at the front of the stage: "General, please appease the soldiers first, so as not to cause disturbance. The banquet will be held as scheduled, and food will be distributed for you and the soldiers later, royal family The warriors of the kingdom will not be left to freeze and starve.”
The head of the border garrison is a mature and stable man in his 30s. He took a deep look at the young princess, bowed and said, "I will follow your arrangement."
After Princess Catherine said this, she lifted her skirt and went up to the high stage.
At this time, some of the king's guards and cabinet officials had reacted and surrounded the king.
When they saw the beautiful princess approaching with pale cheeks, they tacitly made way for each other.
Although it is well known that Princess Catherine is not favored by the king, when the king had an accident, only the other party in the royal family hurried over to visit, with a sad face, which shows Princess Catherine's crystal-like heart.
The young princess held her skirt and knelt on the ground. She lowered her head, her slender neck was drooping like a swan, her eyes were full looking at the king who was almost breathless on the ground, and she gently pushed him with both hands. He shouted in a low voice: "Father! Father! Wake up!"
Although she shouted with sincerity, the bloated king on the ground still closed his eyes and did not respond to her.
On the contrary, the other people present saw that Princess Catherine's face became paler and paler, sweat even began to ooze from her forehead, and her breathing became more and more rapid.
This state doesn't look right.
Just as Snow was about to ask the other party, there was an indecent sound of vomiting from the position of the royal family.
The sound of vomiting was extremely loud, as if the stomach was about to be vomited out.
Everyone subconsciously traced the source of the sound, and saw Princess Mary and the Queen's cheeks were flushed, their eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide open, and their tongues were sticking out. , the body is almost bowed into a shrimp, and the description is extremely embarrassing.
In contrast, Princess Catherine's pale and forbearing face and slightly trembling shoulders in front of me make me feel pitiful.
Finally, the young princess seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, she sat down on the ground completely, her round lips were slightly parted, revealing a reddish tip of her tongue, and her rapid panting indicated that she was not breathing well.
Members of the royal family have all experienced abnormalities in their bodies. I am afraid that the problem may be in the food.
The current situation of Princess Catherine is probably food poisoning.
Snow stretched out his hand and was about to step forward to help him, but was cut off halfway.
Knight Lance's armor was shining with silver, and he was the first to support the princess sitting on the high platform.
The imperial knight was concerned in a low voice: "Is the princess not feeling well? Don't hold on if you are not feeling well. I will help you go back to your room to rest. Your body is the most important right now."
Princess Catherine leaned her head on the other's arm, and did not answer, but nodded weakly.
She spoke intermittently to Snow, who was walking over: "Master Snow... please, please look at the soldiers on the field, don't, it will cause the army to lose morale..."
The princess's voice was a little low, but the king's guards on the high platform, the cabinet ministers, and the head of the border garrison waiting by the high platform all heard it.
This cannot be tolerated by the other party.
Snow looked at Princess Catherine, who was leaning on someone else's arms, and subconsciously clenched the hand hanging by his side.
He still had such a cold and indifferent look on his face: "Snow will naturally follow the princess' orders."
Maid Annie had already followed her, but her status was low and she couldn't go directly to the high stage, so she could only wander around in a hurry.
Catherine still had the strength to order her: "Annie... go and supervise the kitchen... bring the food..."
Annie said repeatedly: "Yes, Your Highness! Is Your Highness okay? Are you going to rest now?"
Princess Catherine didn't answer any more, just nodded, and walked towards the palace with the support of the Knight of Lance.
The king who fell on the high platform and the palace women who vomited were all sent back to the palace. The originally crowded stands and high platform suddenly became empty.
The big shots disappeared, the band prepared for the expedition ceremony had no music to play, and the soldiers present looked at each other in blank dismay, like headless chickens at this moment, not knowing what to do.
Gradually, whispers arose in the army.
There were tens of thousands of people in the square, lined up in a long phalanx, and most of the soldiers in the rear didn't know what happened. They just heard faintly from the people in front that the king seemed to have fallen suddenly.
They were still speaking impassionedly and passionately just now, but now their blood was retreating. The soldiers were like boats abandoned in the waves of the sea.
The king suddenly fell ill, what would the mobilization do?Do you want to continue?If the mobilization meeting is not held, will they still go to war?What should they do now, should they go home, or return to the training ground and post?
Just when the commotion among the soldiers was getting louder and it seemed that they could not be suppressed, food was delivered from the kitchen of the palace.
Barrels of wine rolled on the ground, carts of hot baked potatoes piled up like mountains, plates of roasted lamb shank, mixed with vegetable salad, and steaming fish soup were all delivered to you. soldier's hands.
Although the roast leg of lamb was slightly less and there was not much fish in the fish soup, the soldiers who got up early in the square were very happy to get such a good hot meal without the mobilization meeting.
The people who distributed the food included the kitchen maids and the men of the head of the frontier garrison.Inadvertently or intentionally, in the process of distributing food, they all said a lot of good things for Princess Catherine.
The kitchen maid had heard about the sudden situation in the square, and thought that the prepared food would not be needed. Unexpectedly, Maid Anne came here at the order of the princess.
They had seen the princess before, and now they heard that the beautiful Princess Catherine was unwell, but she still insisted on distributing food to the soldiers, and they naturally praised the curious eyes of the soldiers:
"Princess Catherine asked us to come here to distribute food! I met the maid next to her, and told me the princess's will, saying that the country's soldiers should not be starved and frozen in the square."
"I don't know which mouse ran into the kitchen this morning and knocked down the table where the food was placed. If Princess Catherine hadn't come to help, you probably wouldn't be able to eat!"
"I heard that the princess seems to have been poisoned, but I didn't expect that she still remembered to ask us to come and deliver food."
"..."
The officers who were distributing food were ordered by the head of the border garrison, and they were responsible for speaking well of Princess Catherine.Of course, they also thought from the bottom of their hearts that Princess Catherine was indeed a good princess:
"Eat quickly, Princess Catherine sent someone to bring it over."
"In the eyes of the princess, you are all warriors of the kingdom, and this is a reward for you."
"I don't know which bastard took the medicine. Now Princess Catherine is recuperating in the palace after being poisoned. Otherwise, she will definitely come to see how your food is!"
"..."
After the indiscriminate bombardment on both sides, most of the soldiers in the square have pieced together what happened intermittently from the information obtained from the people who distributed the food.
Someone should have poisoned the royal family's drinking water. The king was seriously ill due to excessive drinking, and Princess Catherine was slightly poisoned because she drank less alcohol. She is in good condition but needs to recuperate in her room.
Their food was obtained under the care of Princess Catherine. The other party is so sympathetic to them. It would be great if Princess Catherine became queen.
Many soldiers who ate food thought silently.
……
The patio door was closed and the curtains were drawn.
In the dim room, the beautiful princess is sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Knight Lance looked at the motionless, seemingly sleeping person in front of him with interest.
I don't know if his goodwill from beginning to end has finally paid off. Ever since Princess Catherine got into trouble, the other party has been staying in his arms, allowing him to support her back into the room.
She was still sleeping so defenselessly in front of him.
At the beginning, Lance Knight wondered if the opponent might be pretending.
But the doctor who arrived quickly gave a report that the residual liquid in the wine glasses of all members of the royal family contained a relatively high dose of lycorine.
He had been closely watching the princess's every move on the field before, and saw with his own eyes that the other party drank the wine without hesitation.
Diarrhea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and even shock from paralysis of the respiratory center are all signs of lycorine poisoning.
Princess Catherine's shortness of breath and dyspnea fit this perfectly.
If all of this is pretending, then this mid-level awakener who has just been promoted is really too powerful, and he may have reached the realm of a high-level awakener ahead of schedule.
Because the other party not only deceived his eyes, but also spit out the wine in secret at any time under his strict surveillance, and even pretended to be poisoned like this.
Compared with this almost impossible situation, Lance Knight believed in his own eyes more.
The other party did drink down the wine, and did react.
Then why is this intermediate awakened person so defenseless in front of him?
Could it be that the other party really believed in his performance, and already regarded himself as a teammate or an NPC who admired the other party?
Or is this Princess Catherine so confident that she wants to defeat him, who is currently in a strong position, with a weak force?
The more Lance Knight thought about it, the more he felt that the latter was unreasonable, but the former was more believable.
If this is the case, then Princess Catherine has really run into her own trap.
Lance Knight narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is this the only level of people who have broken their own intermediate awakening records?
Thinking of this, Knight Lance suddenly ignited a flame on his right hand. The flame was like gentle water, gradually enveloping the entire right hand.
Then let him try and see what the other party thinks.
Knight Lance was standing by the bed, but at this moment, he raised his right hand and waved it towards the person on the bed with lightning speed.
However, the person on the bed moved faster than him.
But in the blink of an eye, the princess who was sleeping peacefully with a pale face suddenly sat up.
As soon as the opponent pressed his left hand, he firmly clamped his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, a dagger slashed at his unshielded neck with the sound of the wind.
The maid had already walked to the place where the royal family members gathered, and lifted the delicate jug to fill up the small wine glasses in their hands one by one.
The female relatives were very restrained, pinching the small wine glass with their fingertips and taking a sip was regarded as having drunk.
