"I still remember that when we were young and we made fools together in Longxiao City, you were both respectful and afraid of His Majesty Nuen."

Earl Curtson said coldly: "Now, you come back to Longxiao City to show off your power, Charmaine?"

King Charmaine's eyebrows moved slightly, and he hummed a sound from his nose.

Seems like this is interesting.

"Listen up, Charmaine, we are vassals of the Grand Duke of Longxiao City," Cotson said in a rough voice while facing the king's gaze without showing any signs of weakness: "We are only her vassals, and we only serve her.

salute."

Thelma looked at Curtson in surprise with whom she had a hard time dealing with before.

It was as if I was meeting this mean-spirited earl for the first time.

Everyone in the entire hall was silently watching the confrontation between Curterson and King Charmaine.

But the king ignored him and just looked away.

Seems indifferent.

"In this hall, the only one who doesn't have to salute the king is the Prince of the Stars, Count Curtson," Cambida said calmly.

Thales sighed: Viscount Cambida is probably still resenting the embarrassment of the last meeting.

I saw a malicious light in the eyes of this Viscount of Menton City:

"Why, are you a star person too?"

As soon as these words came out, Earl Curterson's face suddenly turned pale.

Many people frowned.

"Kneel down and show your loyalty to the king." Cambida said coldly.

Earl Curterson took a deep breath, looked at the king with disdain, then looked at Cambida, and was about to retort.

But his shoulders were grabbed.

Curterson turned around in surprise: Count Linna clasped his shoulders, his expression ugly.

"Kneel down, he is the king after all."

"Etiquette is secondary, but if you don't want to get a reputation as a 'disloyalty' for violating the co-governance oath the next day, and don't want to become a quarrel between Longxiao City and the king..."

Count Linner's tone contained a hint of warning: "Kneel down and don't cause trouble."

Cotson raised his head angrily and looked at the king. He thought of something and his face struggled.

King Charman still looked back at him with a stern face.

After a few seconds, Curtson gritted his teeth and finally closed his eyes and knelt down on one knee.

The hand holding his knee trembled slightly, as if it was a great humiliation.

A sneer belonging to the king rang out in the hall.

"If you don't want to kneel down," King Charman said, as if someone suddenly came to life in the portrait, his expression became vivid:

"Then don't kneel."

"A true Northlander will not be different from what he is," he glanced at Curtson with disdain: "What do you think, Curtson, my old acquaintance?"

Earl Curtson, who had already knelt down, suddenly looked extremely ugly.

"Get up and go back to your seats, everyone, especially you, little girl." King Charmaine gave Thelma an indifferent look, which made the latter grit her teeth and look around again:

"Don't let me ruin the mood."

The vassals in the hall slowly stood up, followed by the sound of many people clenching their fists.

Under the Grand Duke's seat, Count Nazer whispered in a heavy tone: "When did he arrive at Longxiao City? Didn't you know beforehand?"

Opposite him, Lisban sighed.

"This is the time, does it matter?"

Nazer glanced at the king who was no one around and snorted: "I thought you would stop him, whether outside the city or the palace, instead of leaving him alone, my regent."

"I do think so," Regent Lisban responded unceremoniously: "Maybe we can also add some sideshows like 'Dragon Sky City kills the assassin who broke into the palace'."

But Lisban's eyes tightened:

"If it hadn't been for the news that King Gongju was visiting the Palace of Heroes at the same time as his arrival, it would have spread throughout Longxiao City."

Nazer's eyes narrowed: "Spread throughout Longxiao City?"

"Everyone knows that he is here with us," Lisban nodded cautiously and solemnly: "In another morning, it is estimated that the whole of Exeter will know."

Nazer frowned and looked away from the king's head.

"So, it's impossible for us to take the opportunity to attack him?"

Risban nodded.

"They came well prepared, so they are confident," the former Prime Minister said with a stiff expression.

"We can only fight head-on."

Nazer snorted softly and turned his attention to that special boy: "It seems that we, the entire Longxiao City, have been captured by that little prince..."

"You played hard."

Lisban said nothing.

But like his old colleagues, he also locked his eyes on Thales.

But Thales just stood there silently, motionless.

He seemed not to care about King Charman who was not far away.

Beside him, Ian from Qiyuan City looked at Thales hesitantly, then at King Charman who came unexpectedly, and shook his head subconsciously.

In the hall, Thelma, who returned to her seat, took a deep breath and glanced worriedly at Thales, who was as expressionless as the king.

She then said anxiously: "Can I ask you the purpose of coming here, Your Majesty?"

"After all, this is Longxiao City's political hearing day... If you don't mind, we can do it later..."

But the king interrupted her.

"Of course," King Charmaine said without any delay. He strode forward and began to look at the six earls with different expressions, and at the same time got straight to the point:

"I'm here to help."

The king's powerful voice echoed in the hall.

The vassals frowned.

"Help?" Thelma repeated doubtfully.

"Yes," under Cambida's whisper, King Charman turned around and sighed: "But before that..."

Following the king's gaze, the vassals' suspicious eyes began to turn.

In the end, it accurately landed on the heir of Qi Yuancheng who was standing aside.

"Ah, people from Qiyuan City?" King Charman spoke word by word, looking at Ian like a beast that had been hiding for a long time:

“What a surprise.”

Ian was startled, his whole body stiffened, and he felt inexplicable anxiety in his heart.

He never thought that during his trip to Longxiao City, he would have to face the worst opponent he expected so early, so quickly, and so embarrassingly.

Facing the king's oppressive gaze, Ian subconsciously said:

"Your Majesty, this is our first meeting, I..."

"I've heard about you, Ronny's son," the king waved his hand, not letting him continue: "Come to propose to the Grand Duchess of Longxiao City?"

Ian was suddenly speechless: he thought about the other party's possible opening, greetings, criticism, condemnation, testing...

but……

Is this actually it?

"This is a bad idea," King Charman snorted:

"Your status is not worthy of you. It's better to ask your father to propose marriage by himself. Isn't it his favorite thing to do?"

Ian's face suddenly turned pale.

Behind the king, Croache chuckled as if aware of the situation.

Viscount Cambida beside her smiled.

"Your Majesty is venting his anger for you," Cambida smirked and whispered to the female warrior: "To be honest, when Ronnie proposed to you in the Palace of Heroes six years ago..."

Before he could finish speaking, Croache responded to him with two words unceremoniously:

"Shut up."

Cambida shrugged in annoyance and stopped talking.
