Evan looked at Duke Wilson and couldn't react for a while.
What does this... mean? Evan is a little confused. If he understands correctly, Duke Wilson means that the king will die tonight, and there is only one reason for a person's death to be known in advance, that is, such a death was planned long ago.
Duke Wilson wants the king to die!
Such thoughts popped into Evan's mind.
But before Evan could say anything else, there was a commotion in the ball, and both Evan and Duke Wilson were attracted and looked in the direction of the commotion.
A frightened official stumbled in. He was wearing a high-end suit, but unfortunately it was already a little wrinkled at this time, and even his glasses were a little crooked. Lord Lamb ran towards him.
"Xun... Your lord." He looked as if he had just jumped out of the carriage, and his breath was still a little uneven.
"Lord, His Majesty the King has passed away!" He looked at Lord Oram with a terrified face, as if he was looking at his own life-saving straw.
Evan's heart skipped a beat, but the surroundings had long since fallen into chaos. Those aristocratic masters and ladies who were originally staggered were all terrified and in an uproar at this time, but no matter who it was, the one with the highest status at this time was in an uproar. Lord Oram is their backbone, no matter who is present, their eyes are looking in the direction of Lord Oram.
Lord Oram frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Where did you get the news? What about the people from Buckingham Palace?"
This person is obviously an official. It stands to reason that things like the death of the king should be communicated by someone from Buckingham Palace, but now a civil official has come to pass the message, which is obviously wrong.
"Bingham Palace..." He looked slightly trembling: "The people at Buckingham Palace are all under the control of Duke Rand, and no one can come out."
"Then how did you know?" Duke Wilson suddenly came out and asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
When that person saw that Duke Wilson was there, his heart suddenly felt a lot more at ease. Everyone in the UK knew that the Duke of Willzon and the Duke of Rand were definitely at odds with each other, and the strength of Duke Wilson's army was enough to change the political situation.
"I have a good friend who works as a clerk at Buckingham Palace, and he told me that." This civil servant was a nail that Lord Orlam put into the government, and he played a role at this time.
This kind of words made the people present believe a little bit, and everyone suddenly panicked. In such a chaotic and complicated political situation, when the king was there, everyone didn't feel it, as long as they thought that if the king died, everything would be fine. But when the king really left, these people couldn't help but feel a little lack of confidence.
"Calm me all!" Lord Oram raised a rare stern face, and the surrounding noise suddenly subsided.
"Take him up and clean it up." Lord Oram waved to the servant beside him, and someone immediately came up and took the man away.
After disposing of this, Lord Oram turned to look at the terrified nobles around him.
"Ladies, let's go up and rest first." Although Lord Oram's tone was very gentle, there was little room for negotiation in what he said.
This matter is really not suitable for these nervous ladies to talk to, and Evan watched as several of the ladies were even about to pass out.
When Lord Oram said a word, the maids immediately supported the ladies and left. The remaining gentlemen, although they looked a little better than the ladies, were very limited, and the few were a little more fragile, with their heads full of hair. I was sweating profusely, and kept wiping it off with a handkerchief.
Because although some of these people are not very noble, they also know the situation in London at this time. Lord Orlam is definitely a supporter of Prince George. According to the civil servant just now, it is obvious that the Duke of Rand is now occupying the position. The upper hand, and they are now tied to the chariot by Lord Oram, this is simply life as death for some people who do not have a firm stand.
"Gentlemen." After all the gentlemen with different minds were in the small banquet hall, Lord Oram finally said: "Now there is an emergency, and I think everyone is well aware of it."
Except for a few people who were originally close to Lord Oram who looked calm, the expressions of the rest of the people were a little unpredictable.
Lord Oram had a panoramic view of the expressions of these people, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but his face was still gentle, and there was a trace of worry in his expression.
"His Majesty passed away suddenly, and the Duke of Rand kept his mourning secret, while Prince George was far away in Wales, and in London now, I am afraid that I will have to rely on the princes." Lord Orlam said very sincerely.
Such kind words really have no effect on these old foxes, but since the words are spoken, these people have to react. After all, Oram's status is still there.
"Lord, you are too modest. We will listen to you about this matter." One of Lord Oram's confidants suddenly said.
This sentence made the expressions of the people around them vary, which completely pierced that layer of window paper, and they had almost no way out.
Because although the Duke of Rand has the upper hand at this time, they are in the hands of Lord Orlam.
No matter what the faces of everyone, under such a sentence, they can only agree.
Lord Oram slightly twitched the corners of his mouth. Although these people are of no use, they can always tie up one more, which can always boost their morale, so that everyone can see the position of Duke Rand.
Now that these people have been settled, Lord Oram is too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, and asked the housekeeper to bring a few people who are not his confidants, while the remaining confidants continue to discuss plans.
During this process, Duke Wilson has always stood by Evan without saying a word, but although he has not said a word, his silence now shows his attitude. The reason why everyone present is like this It's easy to agree, and I have to say that Duke Wilson's attitude also plays a big factor, because after all, these people know that Duke Wilson is someone who has soldiers in his hands.
After those people left, the expression on Lord Oram's face changed. He invited everyone to sit down with a smile, and even let Duke Wilson sit on his upper hand, and then said: "Since His Majesty the King has passed away, then our Things should be arranged."
The people below looked at Lord Oram with high spirits. These people were all people who supported Prince George, and they had a close relationship with Lord Oram. Naturally, they knew the inside story of this incident, so compared to those who People who are anxious, they are more confident.
"Prince George will return to London tomorrow afternoon. During this period of time, the Duke will be asked to stabilize the political situation in London." Lord Oram looked at Duke Wilson with a smile.
Duke Wilson nodded coldly and didn't say much. Evan stood aside, but he was a little surprised. Isn't Prince George in Wales? Even by train, I'm afraid it won't take such a short time to get back to London from Wales.
There is definitely a problem here, Evan's expression flashes slightly.
The next few people talked about the end of the matter. Most of them were talking about how to deal with the court guards of the Duke of Rand. In fact, there is nothing to say. They are now in Lord Oram's castle, Oram The lord is not a nobleman who is drunk and dreaming. This castle, I am afraid that there are guards stationed at the moment they come in, there is no problem in holding it for a while.
After the talk, Evan and Duke Wilson returned to the guest room together. Because there were too many people, the two of them were assigned to a room, which made Evan a little embarrassed, and Duke Wilson didn't seem very comfortable.
Evan looked at Lord Oram, who had a slightly subtle expression, and knew that it was definitely intentional at this time. No matter how many guests there were, he would not let a duke live with others.
After the two returned to the room, there was an awkward silence, but in the end it was Duke Wilson who opened the conversation first.
"Are you scared today?" He looked at Evan with a little worry.
Evan chuckled in his heart. He was startled, but if he was scared, he wasn't.
"This incident is indeed a bit sudden." Evan smiled reservedly.
Duke Wilson sneered: "If it wasn't for Duke Rand pressing step by step, I'm afraid it wouldn't have gotten to this point."
Evan frowned slightly. He is a religious person after all. The Duke talks about these heart-pounding things in front of him. He really doesn't know how to react.
"You..." He looked at Duke Wilson with a troubled expression.
Duke Wilson looked at him with a very gentle expression: "I know you can't accept it, but Richard is too absurd. George is a good boy. If he doesn't die, many people will die innocently. Although I I have done such a terrible thing, but I do not regret it, even if my soul falls into the boundless hell, I am willing."
Evan looked at Duke Wilson's expression at this time, and his heart was really puzzled. In the original book, the later Duke Wilson was described as a paranoid, but looking at him at this time, he felt a little different.
"You..." He was silent for a moment: "You will not fall into hell, I will pray for you."
Evan's words, like a stimulant, made Duke Wilson in high spirits, he walked to Evan's side, suddenly took his hand, and said excitedly: "Really? You really are like this Do you think?"
Evan wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held back by Duke Wilson. He couldn't help looking into the Duke's eyes, but found that his eyes were unusually firm, with no sign of loosening. This kind of gaze made Evan. Wen couldn't help frowning.
"Lord Duke." His tone was still very calm: "Please let go of my hand."
He looked straight into Duke Wilson's eyes, and there was no room for negotiation.
This person is so aggressive, but he absolutely cannot allow him to regard himself as his subordinate, and he will never make any regressions on this issue.
