640. Extortion
Bliss Rhodes Frankley.
The Forty-fourth of the Kingdom of Rhodes Frankley.
Same as this unlucky number, Bliss' life was accompanied by bad luck.
At the moment of his birth, her mother was also killed by an assassin that day.
At the moment of his coming-of-age ceremony, his father also died of illness, which sounds incredible. Magic can cure it, and it is rare for the king to die of illness, but the 43rd king contracted an unknown disease on this day and died.
The coming-of-age ceremony is his day of adulthood.
It was also a day stained with blood.
The princes fought for the throne and started a war.
And this bad luck of Brees also fell on them.
The princes died one by one in the war.
In this way, Bliss ascended the throne.
Soon, his bad luck was discovered.
Not only the forty-three kings who died of illness, but even the deaths of his brothers were bizarre, but all of this seemed to be planned by someone.
Only the nobles in the royal capital guessed the truth of the matter, but they dared not tell it.
Because this king with "doom" is a suspicious and bloodthirsty king.
If this matter was discovered before the throne of the king was decided, there would definitely be many nobles who would proactively promote it, but victory had been divided. In the world of nobles, there is no distinction between right and wrong, only victory and defeat, and the distinction between interests and non-interests. Bliss is the winner, and he will win everything.
After Bliss took office, he used thunder to clear away the remaining forces of other princes.
After that, he founded the annual royal event, which was called the "Flower Banquet".
Some people say that aristocratic women are as delicate as flowers. This "flower feast" requires that all the nobles above the earls of the entire capital must be present and carry young men. At that time, the royal princess will choose the candidate for their partner among the group. But it is very difficult to say that they are princesses. Bliss has no real offspring, and these women are selected from the women of the royal family's children. In this complicated bloodline system, if you are in terms of identity treatment, even ordinary noble women may not be as good as those of ordinary noble women.
But no one dares to express his opinion.
All the nobles knew clearly that the real purpose of this event was surveillance.
The girls in the royal family monitored these nobles.
If you refuse, there is only the way to death.
Once, a royal woman who married a marquis died of illness. Just the next month, the marquis family was killed.
The news from Bliss was that an assassin committed a killing act and the whole country searched.
But everyone knows that this sentence is just a saying.
After this incident, these royal women and nobles treated them like delicate flowers, fearing that they would make any mistakes.
As in previous years, King Blis was the first to entertain other nobles.
Song and dance, wine, and delicacies.
Everything seems to be thriving.
Bliss' eyes swept through the nobles, and he did not believe in the face that was floating on the surface.
Humans are the most unreliable creatures in this world.
If you use anything to describe a person's talent, it will definitely be a disguise.
Children will use crying to disguise their sadness to fight for what they want. Adults will always maintain disguise on their faces.
Bliss is tired of these things.
"His Majesty.."
Outside the palace, there was movement.
Brees frowned slightly.
According to his instructions, if nothing important happened during the banquet, don't disturb me.
The arrival of the guards means what happened.
The moment the guards walked into the palace, the feast of singing and dancing to peace stopped, and everything came to an abrupt end.
No one knows what happened.
But they looked at Bliss nervously.
Killing is just a simple thing for Bliss.
"What happened?" Bliss asked.
The other nobles breathed a sigh of relief as soon as the question was spoken, at least it meant that the fire did not burn them.
"Your Majesty..." the guards shivered.
The gesture he showed seemed very afraid of saying the subsequent words.
"Say!" Bliss sharpened his voice.
The entire palace has an extra sense of solemnity.
Under oppression, the guards hurriedly said: "A message came from the guards of Count Oluo."
Earl Oluo? For the capital, a strange name.
"Earl of Oluo, Marquis of Nickbin and Marquis of Rosent were all captured by a dragon."
Everyone around was shocked by the news.
If Earl Oluo is strange.
Then Nickbin and Rosant will not be unfamiliar.
Nickbin himself is a nobleman active in the royal capital.
And Rashente controls the iron cavalry of the kingdom and controls military power, he is undoubtedly a real power figure in the entire kingdom.
"They were captured, so was it a message to ask for help?" Bliss continued.
But the guards hesitated at this moment.
His mouth trembled.
Everyone was surprised by his reaction.
"It was the dragon that brought the guard's news..." the guard said tremblingly, "He... wants to blackmail His Majesty."
quiet!
Everyone gasped.
Shocked by this message.
"Ransex?" Bliss's eyes became more stern, but he quickly restrained himself, and said with some fun: "A interesting news, isn't it? Then, what does that dragon want."
"Treasure, he wants treasure that matches the status of aristocratic."
The guard took out the paper he had put in his arms.
A huge piece of paper, Bliss made people spread out directly on the ground.
It simply wrote on the huge paper.
“My name is Yor Stara Igukuno.
Please submit treasures that meet the status of aristocratic people.”
In the lower right corner of this paper, there is a dragon claw print similar to a graffiti.
That's a stamp? It looks like a joke.
But no one smiled.
This is a provocation, and the provocation is the person with the highest status in the kingdom.
"So what about the place and time of the handover?"
The guard showed a embarrassed look, and there was no written on it, how would he answer?
"I haven't written it, it's such a careless dragon, or is it... as long as I go to that place, I will complete the handover at any time or place?" Blis muttered, then his eyes sank and responded, "Calculate the treasures of the King's Treasure House of the West, and transport them as ransoms to the territory of Earl Oluo."
"And... please prepare and gather the cavalry of Marquis Rosent and go together."
Bliss's words are puzzling.
Is this necessary to surrender or solve it in combat?
