"She's very good. She stayed on Sleeping Island in the Fjord for a while, and now she's back in Neverwinter again," Hill laughed, "I heard that Miss Quinn is very close to His Majesty's sister, His Highness Tilly, and His Majesty naturally also I won't treat her badly."
After some trivial conversations, Otto learned from the other party that Andrea liked playing cards, and his marksmanship became much better. He occasionally bickered with another famous card friend, but in general, they got along very well.
The news made him almost forget the passage of time.
Until there was an uncoordinated quarrel outside the house.
"What's going on?" Hill stopped talking, walked quickly to the door, and glanced out through the crack of the door, "There seems to be something wrong on the first floor."
"Let me ask," Otto motioned for him to sit down first, then yelled out the door, "who's making a fuss down there, go and see what's going on!"
"Yes, my lord," replied the maid who had been standing outside the door.
"Maybe someone's drinking too much," he pulled the blanket over him. "It's not common, but as long as it's a tavern, it's bound to happen. You said earlier that Miss Quinn was involved in the Neverwinter hunt. Competition, what about the result?"
Hill didn't answer, just made a silent gesture and leaned his head lightly on the door panel.
After a few breaths, his expression suddenly sank.
"The people below are not only wearing armor, but also holding weapons."
"What?" Otto was startled.
"I heard the sound of iron boots and sword hilt hitting the floor, tables and chairs. Would anyone wear a full set of weapons while drinking?" Hill didn't wait for the maid's return, but just opened the slump. " Drunkards don't like to play knights, so trouble is coming."
"How... how is this possible?" Otto frowned. "Believe me, I definitely don't"
"Of course, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be here looking for you," Hill interrupted.
"Then... Let's meet at an appointment next time. You can go first. If they really come to you, I will help you stop it." He felt very regretful. When will we hear from Andrea again.
"Aren't you coming with me?" The other party was slightly surprised, "That group of people came with bad intentions, it's more appropriate for you to return to the territory first."
"Don't worry, I'm the eldest son of the Losey family, and they can't do anything to me," Otto shook his head, not mentioning the rescue of the witch and the secret contact with Roland's secret agent, he hid it from his father, if the troublemaker was really targeting the ambassador When the members of the group came, wouldn't it be very strange when they left? At that time, even if there is no problem, it becomes a problem. "Although no one knows about this secret passage, it is not difficult to search. Seeing that there is no one in the house, they will inevitably feel suspicious. With me here, you can evacuate more safely."
"Well, good luck." Hill didn't hold on any longer, he let go of his hands and slid into the secret passage.
Otto arranged the sheets and bedding for him, and lay down on the soft slump again.
After a while, there was the sound of heavy footsteps at the entrance of the stairs, mixed with the sound of metal friction, and the maid who went to inquire about the situation never appeared again.
There was neither knocking nor questioning, the door panel was directly knocked open.
A group of heavily armed knights squeezed into the single room.
"What do you mean!" Otto said angrily, "This place is the territory of Count Losey, do you want to rebel!" He was about to stand up and drive these rude people out of the tavern. When the other party swarmed up, he pressed him firmly on the soft collapse.
"Sorry, Sir, it's not us who want to rebel, but you." The leading knight shrugged. Although they were wearing armor plated with gold lacquer and the emblem symbolizing the identity of the royal knights hanging on their chests, Otto found that this group of people were all unfamiliar faces.
Heck, where did they all come from
"Let go of me!" He twisted his body, "You are slandering!"
"Go down and tell your Majesty Amperin," the knight said unmoved. "You have betrayed his trust, my lord."
Hearing the name of Ampere Moya, Otto's chest suddenly became cold.
…
When he saw His Majesty again, it was two days later.
"I heard that you haven't eaten for the past two days, and you've been clamoring to see me?" An Pein still had that slightly tired face. After a short time, the new king's brows seemed to have matured a lot. There was a look in his eyes that he was no longer familiar with, "Now that your request has been fulfilled, can you eat well?"
"Where is this place?" Otto asked, clutching at the iron railing, despite his sore and hoarse voice, "Why did you do this? Where's my father!"
"Are you dissatisfied with this room?" Amperin looked around, "The furnishings here are completely based on the standards of the Duke's Mansion. Although it is a little smaller, the beds, tables, chairs and bookcases are all available. It should be very comfortable to live in. That's right." He paused, "As for where this is... Of course it's underground in the palace. Only by locking you here can I feel relieved."
Otto gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I want to have a good talk with you, but I don't."
"Betray me?" The Lord of Dawn interrupted him, "Do you think I will still believe these lies and continue to be deceived by you? It took me two months to find some clues about witches, but I didn't expect you He actually participated in it and entrusted Greycastle Ambassador Yorko to go to the "dark money" to participate in the auction, and even helped him leave Glorious City after the incident. If this is not a betrayal, what is betrayal? His voice was getting higher and higher, obviously he didn't want to suppress his anger, "Did you not hear how the King of Greycastle broke his covenant and trampled my father's will to the ground in the hall that day?" ! "
"I… "
"Do you want to talk to me about traitors, or those witches who deserve to go to hell?" Amperin's voice was full of deep hatred, "Enough, Otolosi! If you weren't from my childhood My partner, the eldest son of the three major families, has already been sent to the gallows! I still need the strength of the three major families now, it does not mean that I will always need you, this is the last chance I will give you, don't force me out of there step!"
These words made Otto fall into an ice cave. He had never seen his playmate show such a hideous face. Thinking of those "royal knights" he had never seen before, he suddenly understood something.
I am afraid that after the death of the old king, they have lost the trust of the new king because they have nothing to do.
"By the way, didn't you ask how your father is?" Before leaving, An Pein suddenly said in a cold voice, "He has nothing to do, and he still attended the court meeting today as long as you keep all the food you bring in honestly. After eating, Earl Losey is naturally a good nobleman who is loyal to the royal family. So stop doing such stupid things as hunger strikes, it is good for both of us. If you are obsessed, I can only take some coercive measures. "
