[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen
Chapter 88
It was supposed to be a banquet in the palace to celebrate the victory of the war, but His Majesty the King did not attend.
He stayed in his chamber, waiting for someone he was curious about.
Baron North and Friedrich North on the side brought up some interesting topics from time to time to relieve the boredom of waiting.
Even so, the three of them had almost exhausted their conversation, and the banquet in the court was almost over before someone came to announce that Mr. Joe Wickham was coming.
The king propped his head up, endured the drowsiness and said, "Let him in."
"I don't know where he went after disbanding, but I didn't find it until now!"
Baron North gave a sinister smile.
Keeping His Majesty waiting so long, it seems that George Wickham has no good fruit to eat.
However, George Wickham did not come in for a long time after the servant reported.
His Majesty the King frowned and said, "What's going on? Didn't you say you're coming?"
For Joe's sake, Friedrich said, "Maybe I ran into something on the road and it was delayed. I'll go and have a look."
Baron North looked at Friedrich dissatisfied.
As soon as Friedrich stepped out of the meeting room, he saw a person being supported, staggering over, and the attendant who supported him had a bitter expression on his face.
"Mr. Wickham, don't go fishing in the pond. There is no fish there. His Majesty the King is still waiting for you."
Friedrich was shocked: "What's going on? How could he be like this?"
He hurried forward to help hold George.
The attendant showed a "saved" expression.
"When they found Mr. Wickham, according to the herald, he was drinking in a tavern, and so drunk that they managed to wake him up, and bring him to the palace."
Friedrich's mouth twitched.
Joe's biological brother is really out of tune.
He looked worriedly into the palace.
A George like this might anger His Majesty, right?
Perhaps it was because he had been delayed for too long, the king's voice came from the palace, "Didn't we meet at the door? Why didn't you come in?"
The attendant immediately dragged George, who was so drunk and could not keep his eyes open, into the chamber.
Friedrich sighed, for Joe's sake, he could only try to cover up for George today.
They managed to get George into the palace.
The moment he stepped into the gate of the palace, George suddenly had a jolt, and somehow he came to his senses, struggling to get out of the hands of the two of them.
The attendant finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Is this considered sober?"
"Mr. Wickham, you are finally sober!"
The servants were on the verge of tears.
The attendant immediately reported to the king, and then ran away like oil on the soles of his feet, and he didn't know how much he had suffered from George.
Friedrich was a little apprehensive, always feeling that something would happen.
The king stared at the wobbly George, frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Baron North gloated, "Yeah, why are you so drunk?"
Friedrich explained: "These soldiers have just won the battle and have just returned to the capital. After the team is disbanded, it is inevitable to drink some wine to relieve the pressure in their hearts."
The king nodded, "Indeed, I was surprised by what he did just by looking at the description in the report. It was like dancing on the tip of a knife. That night, if he made a slight mistake, his life would be destroyed." To catch up, he must have had a lot of psychological pressure when he made those risky actions, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, which made him drink like this when he came back."
Baron Dinos smiled and said, "You manage the army well."
Baron North blushed for himself.
He never strictly prohibited the soldiers from drinking, even because he took the lead in holding a banquet, he almost made a mistake drinking and was killed by the enemy Bao Yuan.
"No, no!" George waved his hand, his body swaying, "I don't feel burdened, I just like drinking, drinking is good!"
He walked towards the king step by step, obviously intending to walk in a straight line, but his legs kept bending, making him run straight towards Baron North.
Baron North bluffed, "Mr. Wickham, be more sober!"
George slammed into him heavily, and then hugged his shoulder and laughed: "Haha, baron, let's drink again, let's hold another banquet, this time there will be no enemy sneak attack."
Baron North: "..."
I fucking thank you for making His Majesty remember this!
"Let's drink wine and sing songs together, so happy! Haha——"
Baron North looked disgusted and said angrily, "George, let go!"
George just smiled "hehe", as if he didn't hear anything.
Baron North tore hard, but this man's arm was extremely strong. If he were torn off, he might lose his clothes.
Baron North worked hard, not only failed to get George off, but also made himself blush with thick neck and sweat on his forehead.
The king smiled, "This Mr. Wickham is also an interesting man."
He stared at George and said, "You have made great contributions, how do you want me to reward you?"
George didn't seem to understand, just smiled "hehe".
Before the king became impatient, Friedrich said, "Mr. Wickham, the king wants to reward you. Why don't you express your wish?"
George raised his right hand and shouted, "I want to spend money that is not fully spent."
The king nodded, "I reward you with gold, silver and jewels."
George raised his left hand, "I have to do more things for His Majesty, and have a higher status!"
The king smiled, "He is quite ambitious."
"The most important thing is..." He clenched his hands into fists, "I want my sister to marry a nobleman, the king..."
Friedrich pulled George frantically to stop him from committing death, "His Majesty the King already has a queen, and the king and queen are in harmony."
"Oh!"
With a dazed look on his face, George stood crookedly, "Then marry a duke, marquess, earl, viscount or baron, the title is too low."
Baron North's eyes widened. He felt that George was deliberately humiliating him!
The king: "Well...it's difficult. After all, your sister is an ascetic monk, and she also made an oath. Now she is the special bishop I accept my fate. She cannot get married."
He shook his head.
George's eyes widened, and he said in amazement, "You are the king, why can't you even do such a small thing? What a waste."
king:"……"
Friedrich and Baron North were taken aback, and quickly begged His Majesty the King to appease his anger.
The smile on His Majesty's face disappeared, and he reprimanded with a sullen face: "Bold!"
George patted his chest, "Well, I'm quite courageous, otherwise I wouldn't be able to kill their entire army by myself!"
His Majesty the King thought about it: Although George is wild and unruly, he is indeed right. The biggest reason for turning the tide of the battle and winning this battle is attributed to George Wickham.
He is a person who cherishes talents. Although George disrespects him, it can be seen that he is a person who is easy to control, and he may be useful in the future.
The king said indifferently: "Although you have made great achievements, but you were disrespectful in the palace, if you can only satisfy one of the three things, what would you choose?"
"Hmm..." George crossed his arms, frowned, and thought hard, as if he had encountered some world-class problem.
Friedrich and Baron North were also curious about his options.
"Um……"
"Well……"
"...Ah, there it is!"
George made a fist with one hand and slammed the palm of the other, as if making up his mind.
The king smiled and asked, "So, what is your choice?"
George raised his arms and shouted, "I want my sister to marry a nobleman, especially one who is young, beautiful and good-tempered, who can inherit titles and a lot of land and property!"
Baron North couldn't help but said: "Dream your dream!"
If there is such a good candidate, can you leave it to Miss Commoner?
Friedrich pressed his eyebrows painfully, "Mr. Wickham, I thought you understood that your sister cannot marry."
His Majesty the King was rather curious: "Why don't you choose money and power, but choose your sister to marry?"
With a shy face, George said with a smile, "I'll find my brother-in-law to go with these."
King, Baron, Friedrich: "..."
Your ambitions are really ambitious.
George still disliked that he didn't lose enough face, and immediately said: "I am born to enjoy happiness, I just want to lie down and enjoy it, and I don't have to do anything by myself. In this case, I have to rely on my sister and future brother-in-law."
At this point, he smiled a bit, engraving his shamelessness into his bones.
All three gentlemen present felt sorry for poor innocent Miss Wickham.
How can you live with such a younger brother!
King: "You have quite high requirements for your future brother-in-law, but since you have asked so much, why not add one more, for example, that the other party love your sister deeply."
"After all, it is very common for nobles to find lovers."
George "puchi" laughed.
While laughing, he slapped Baron North on the shoulder vigorously, and squinted at the king with a look of disgust.
His Majesty the King said indifferently: "Do you think the love between husband and wife is not important?"
George waved his hand, "My Majesty the King, if you can ask this sentence, it can be seen that you have never seen my sister."
His Majesty: "I have seen it."
George froze for a moment, "Oh, that must be someone you love deeply."
The king was silent, but he looked a little embarrassed.
George blinked his eyes, with a look of "you and my brother, what are you hiding?".
Friedrich covered his face with his hands.
I'm sorry, Miss Wickham, but I have betrayed your trust. Your brother has been hopping on the verge of death, and I don't think I can save him.
As George was, Friedrich would not have been surprised if the king chopped off his head the moment he turned his head.
The king coughed, "Why do you say that?"
George smiled and shook his legs, "Of course it's because anyone who sees my sister will love her!"
Friedrich looked up in shock.
King: "Your sister is indeed beautiful, but she is not..."
George stretched out a finger and shook it at the king, "My sister is very charming, and no one can refuse her charm, except for those who have a very deep love in their hearts."
He sighed, "But such people are very rare."
His words can be regarded as inadvertently flattering the king.
This king is a rare king who has only one queen and has never had a lover.
His Majesty the King nodded happily and said, "Indeed, this is rare."
"So, most of the remaining people are my sister's servants. I'm not afraid that my sister won't get her husband's love. I'm just afraid that her husband's status is not high enough, wealth is not enough, and land is not big enough!"
George whistled, touched his hair, and said without a limit: "My sister is my only wealth. Of course I need money to make money and make good investments."
"..."
What kind of rubbish speech is this!
Even unrelated people like them wanted to beat him to death. How good-tempered and kind-hearted his sister must be to tolerate such a younger brother.
King: "You are very talented, why don't you work hard on your own? With your hard work..."
George waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no, I am determined to be a playboy who clings to nepotism and eats and dies. Please don't let me make progress."
The king couldn't help but said, "You're actually quite proud?"
George said with a sad face: "Oh, you don't know how tired I am. It's also very tiring to struggle to lie down."
George glanced at his golden chair, "However, you will never experience the beauty of lying flat in your life."
King: "... Get lost!"
He stayed in his chamber, waiting for someone he was curious about.
Baron North and Friedrich North on the side brought up some interesting topics from time to time to relieve the boredom of waiting.
Even so, the three of them had almost exhausted their conversation, and the banquet in the court was almost over before someone came to announce that Mr. Joe Wickham was coming.
