Chapter 16(2/3)
The waiter's words surprised Rebe. He looked around and saw Marquis Keane sitting in the dark corner in the box facing them.
From a distance, Marquis Keane was nodding slightly at him.
"Please tell the Marquis, I will definitely visit you." Ruibo said softly.
...
The curtain gradually pulled up, and as Thor's exotic music sounded, six beautiful and charming dancers walked onto the stage sing and dancing.
Looking at their dancing, Rebow had to admit that the Thor dance performed by Mr. Dumarier was not much wrong, but because of the different dancers, there was a huge difference between the two.
The dancers swayed their slender waists, and their light stomps made their plump body tremble slightly, not only making Rebau feel strangely graceful, but also could feel a strange stimulation. The appearance of Mr. Dumarie shaking his slightly raised belly is really uncommon.
"Sir, I think Marquis Keane is ready to welcome your visit." The waiter behind him whispered.
Ruibo nodded and stood up from his seat.
The waiter opened a small door on one side, and behind it was an alley that could only be passed by one person. Such a secret passage could always be found in every upper theater. It is precisely because of the existence of this passage that some people call the theater's private room a wild bed for raising illegitimate children.
The faint candlelight only allowed Ruibo to see the road ahead and the waiter who led the way forward.
Marquis Keane's box was at the other end of the theater. The waiter stopped in front of a small door. He knocked on the door gently, and the door opened.
What Ruibo did not expect was that in the box, he saw not only Marquis Keane. Another lady was sitting in the dead corner behind the curtains of the box with a thick black scarf. If Ruibo was not familiar with Marquis Keane, a kind of inviting thought would definitely appear in his heart.
The waiter who led the way and the waiter who was originally serving in the private room retreated from the private room.
"Marte Keen, is there anything you have to do with me?" Ribo asked in confusion. All of this made him feel too weird. According to the information he had, Marte Keen was not a sneaky person who liked conspiracy and tricks.
"Mr. Earl, it is not the wish of the Marquis, but my request." The lady who hid in the corner suddenly whispered.
Her voice really shocked Rebe, because Rebe had already recognized the mysterious lady as His Majesty, who was deliberately alienated from him.
After looking at Marquis Keane, who had never turned his head from beginning to end, a strange feeling of tension suddenly rose from Ribo's heart. Since people like Marquis Keane were involved in this strange thing, it means that something important is indeed about to happen.
Perhaps compared with this incident, the previous series of turmoil and twists and turns were nothing at all, and Ruibo felt increasingly nervous.
Sitting in the seat, after a while, Marquis Keane slowly stood up. He seemed to have not seen Rebow at all. The waiter who was originally serving in the room walked in and gently pulled the curtains up and then retreated. From beginning to end, he also looked like he had never seen anyone.
"Please sit down, now there are only two of us." His Majesty the Queen took off her veil and said softly.
"You arranged all this?" Ruibo asked.
"It was Duke Auburn's own intention to invite you to watch the show, but it happened to let me know the list of invitees. Marquis Keane had something to negotiate with Duke Auburn, and it would be great to use this to cover up. Their talks were held in another box, and I think this would attract the attention of most monitors." His Majesty said slowly.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing so hard?" Ruibo asked in a low voice.
"If I say I hope to reach an understanding with you and then establish an alliance, would you believe it?" His Majesty the Queen said leisurely.
His Majesty's words were not beyond Rebbo's expectations. In fact, he and Eckert had already had a solution to deal with them.
In this situation, they had obviously much more room for advancement and retreat than the king and his queen, so there was no need to form such an alliance.
Rebo had already been confident about how to swear, but he had never thought of His Majesty's next actions.
"Why don't you sit down?" His Majesty asked with a smile: "Sit beside me."
"This is not very respectful." Rebe replied respectfully.
"Abandon your concerns and restraints, I have many things to discuss with you. Some of them are related to you. Please let us meet honestly, which is beneficial to both of us." His Majesty the Queen said calmly, and suddenly she returned to her former dignity.
Rebow was indeed a little surprised. For some reason, he began to shake a little. Obviously, everything that His Majesty the Queen has shown now has long exceeded what he and Eckert had expected.
Sitting down beside His Majesty, Rebow waited for His Majesty to pull out her closed curtain. He wanted to know what kind of play this Majesty wanted to perform.
"Earl Medin, there were deep misunderstandings between us because of certain things. I hope you can forget all unpleasant things. You have a keen eye and a wise and mature age that is not in line with your age. You should see that His Majesty the King's current position is at stake."
"Originally, His Majesty could rely on the Magic Society and the Paladins to consolidate his throne and dignity. The agreement signed with Delizhi made His Majesty have powerful offensive weapons. However, with the death of the magician who was burned to ashes at the hearing, His Majesty completely lost the loyalty of the magicians. The recent assassination of the Paladin Monstock made His Majesty lose his only support."
"At this point, it can be said that in the battle for the throne, your Majesty has completely failed, but your Majesty and I are already in a difficult position. You should be very clear about the fate of the loser who fell from a high position. There are countless such records in history books. Because of this, Your Majesty and I have to struggle for their own survival. I believe that even if Your Majesty voluntarily abdicates and handes the crown and throne to the prince, he will not let us live." His Majesty sighed and said, her tone was filled with bitterness and helplessness.
"Your Majesty, there are loyal and wise ministers like Marquis Keen, and his clever subordinates as smart as Mr. Rabel. Although Lord Monstock was unfortunately stabbed, the Paladin is still loyal to you and His Majesty the King. You don't need to be so sad." Rebow said disapprovingly, saying the scene that had already been discussed with Eckert.
"I know you still cannot forgive your Majesty's persecution against you, but please believe that it is the result of some ulterior motives who bewitch the ignorant king. These ulterior motives are still trying to murder you. The most shameless and arrogant one is the court magician Vach."
"Your infinite potential makes him feel jealous and panicked, and he will try to get rid of you and get out of the way. Another hypocritical hypocrite who wants to harm you is Nile Erre, the chairman of the Magic Society. For you, he is a more terrible enemy. He is trying to seize the source of your power, the powerful force that the great magician, Kemildit, has survived to this day. For this purpose, he has installed his confidants next to your teacher, Masque, and has also bribed a lot of spies." His Majesty the Queen said while checking Ribo's expression.
The Queen's tone was so plain, as if her fate, the struggles in the palace, the existence of those who despise the royal power, and the rapids and dark waves were just a drama performed on the stage for her.
There was no panic in her expression, nor a hint of rush to seek assistance. In the dim shadow, she seemed so peaceful and peaceful, but her eyebrows revealed a noble elegance that only the highest one possessed.
As she expected, the little heir of Sethborough was immediately shocked after hearing all this. After all, he was just a teenager, a genius boy.
Rebe rolled like a storm, and he was absolutely sure that His Majesty the Queen did not exaggerate it.
He and his teacher found the magic notebook of the great magician Kaimildit in the Bart Forest. This matter is definitely a secret.
One of the many creations left by the great magician Kaimildit made His Majesty Francis IX almost conquered Delizhi.
Because of this, any discovery of Kaimildit will cause an uproar once it is leaked.
Teacher Maske has warned himself more than once to keep this secret, and he must have known more about the interests.
Although the chairman of the Magic Society that His Majesty mentioned by His Majesty, Rebow did not know his background.
However, he, who knew very well about the dark side of human nature, could naturally guess what kind of trap would a hypocritical hypocrite who was actually greedy to deal with his teacher, Mr. Masque.
Rebow was indeed shocked by the unexpected news, but the extreme shock did not prevent his brain from running quickly, all thanks to Ektner's excellent teaching and Kyle's rigorous training.
In a moment, Ruibo sorted out all the things related to this in detail. He dared not miss it at all, because the enemy this time was completely different from the past. This time his opponent not only had a noble status, but also had extraordinary power, and he was completely at a disadvantage compared to them.
"Your Majesty, the way you asked me to meet is too risky. The eyes of the monitor may be blinded by these tricks, but the eyes of magic are everywhere." Ruibo said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, when the theater was built, the designers had already considered some special functions. You should know that many important agreements were signed behind the dim curtains. We are not the first group of people who negotiate important matters in such places, and we will definitely not be the last group." His Majesty the Queen said with a smile.
After hearing what His Majesty said, Rebow closed his eyes and searched around with all his perceptions. There was indeed a mysterious force that repelled the spiritual fluctuations he emitted.
Ruibo's mood finally calmed down a little, and he thought for a while and then made up his mind.
If this queen wants to have some kind of alliance, then give her an alliance.
Rebow believed that he could convince Eckert and Mr. Hyde, after all, the king and queen had completely failed, and it was not the ending they were willing to see.
It is not a blessing for Serthborough to make this much more skilled prince the king of the Kingdom of Francis.
"It is an honor for you and the King to be loyal to you and the King. I and all the subjects in the south will definitely stand by you and the King." Rebow said respectfully.
Hearing Rebeau’s words, His Majesty did not show a happy expression as Rebeau had expected.
She said calmly: "Sir Earl, you should have heard this saying: Some people will use their lives to defend what they said, while others will use their words to protect their lives. You are not like the kind of person who will challenge irresistible strong enemies for the sake of the promises they have said."
"Your Majesty, how do you want me to win you?" Ribo asked back, guessing what kind of questions His Majesty would raise.
"Sir, are you satisfied with Miley?" His Majesty the Queen did not answer Ribo's question, but instead focused on the ridiculous life of Ribo in the legendary castle outside the suburbs.
Ruibo did not understand His Majesty’s intention. Did His Majesty plan to put the marquises beside him and monitor his words and deeds? For a moment, Ruibo didn’t know how to answer, so he could only noddle slightly.
"The maids tell me that you seem to be planning to get Mili pregnant because you have pulled off the cotton balls that Mili used to avoid pregnancy several times, isn't that true?" His Majesty the Queen asked with a smile at Ribo.
This time, Ruibo was speechless. He really didn't expect that the cotton ball was useful. His Majesty's gaze made him feel extremely embarrassed and he couldn't raise his head.
"I want to congratulate you. Your efforts are obviously quite successful. Mili realizes she is pregnant." The queen said with a smile.
Rebow felt at a loss when he heard His Majesty's words.
Although it is common to have one or two illegitimate children in the aristocratic circle, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
What's more, he himself is not yet an adult and is not ready to welcome a child to come to the world.
Seeing Ribo's panic, His Majesty the Queen smiled and said, "Unfortunately, Miley does not intend to bring her child to life. You must feel very sorry."
Hearing this sentence, Ruibo finally breathed a long sigh.
However, he was increasingly puzzled about His Majesty's mention of this matter.
Rebau's reaction was originally expected by His Majesty the Queen, and she sighed and said softly: "Mile is still too young after all, and she does not know the joy and importance of having children."
Speaking of this, His Majesty the Queen paused for a moment. Seeing that Ribo was still confused, she had to explain further: "Just like now, in order to save my life, I have to compete with the Prince in the name of His Majesty the King, but once His Majesty dies, I will lose everything I can rely on. I am unable to give birth to a small heir for His Majesty. When His Majesty married me, he was already old and in some ways he could no longer do it."
Rebe finally understood what His Majesty the Queen meant, but he was stunned by the suggestion.
In fact, he never thought that in order to give peace to Serthborg, in order to fulfill the mission entrusted to him by Mr. Hyde, he needed to weave a green top hat for His Majesty the King.
"This is the most powerful promise I hope, and the greatest secret that both of us have. I will never let Marquis Keane know about this matter, and you do not need to follow the advice of Mr. Hyde or Mr. Eckert. This matter is extremely beneficial to both of you and me, and is also crucial." His Majesty the Queen whispered softly to the ear of the little heir of Sethborg, and the fragrance from her charming little mouth blew against Rebbo's sensitive ears.
Ribo didn't know whether this was seduction or just caution. If it were the former, the queen had obviously obtained the effect she needed, and he had already felt an abnormal change in a certain part of his body.
"Can you give me some time to think about it?" Ruibo said with a sad face.
"Yes, but how do you convey to me the final result of your consideration? After all, I have to show a distant look from you, at least in front of Vach and Nile Ere." His Majesty said calmly, she had returned to her former nobleness and majesty, as if the passionate mature woman had never existed.
"I will make a request to ask you to let me study the laboratory left by the great magician Kaimildit. I am fully confident that Mr. Vach and Mr. Nileere will never doubt the purpose of my trip." Rebow replied immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, just a moment ago, he had already figured out how to deal with the two dangerous people who had ulterior motives and wanted to deal with him.
Every step, every possible accident is listed in detail, all of which are attributed to Eckert's achievements, and Rebau feels increasingly familiar with these conspiracies.
Ruibo did not notice that he became more and more like his teacher, even the smile at the corner of his mouth full of mystery and mystery.
Looking at the mysterious smile of the little heir of Sethburg and his eyes full of confidence flashing cold in the darkness, His Majesty the Queen seemed to be able to feel that kind of confidence.
After a little thought, Her Majesty the Queen had guessed the method that Rebet was planning to adopt, and she couldn't help but feel very grateful for having such a resourceful and responsive alliance.
His Majesty the Queen is absolutely certain that the young heir of Sethborough heard for the first time that Vach and Nile Ere were plotting against him behind his back.
