Chapter 10 The Old King's Request

After giving instructions one by one, Gray looked at the still sunny sky and turned around and walked into the palace.

The palace is a huge castle with nearly a hundred rooms of all sizes. In one of them, one man, two women, three people with six eyes facing each other, silent.

"Father, mother, I'm sorry, I'm implicating you!" Phyllia had woken up, and her eyes were roaring in tears at this time, and she regretted the bitter fruit she caused.

If she had known that this would have caused her parents to worry about her life. Even if she really wanted her to marry the evil dragon, she would be willing, but it would be too late.

"Felia, my daughter, don't say that. It was because I didn't take good care of you and let you be captured by the evil dragon. I have suffered so many years!" The old king hugged his daughter gently, and a little pity and helplessness appeared on his old face.

Originally, Gray rescued his daughter, and he was very excited. His daughter was in trouble for many years and finally could go home. He almost burst into tears when he heard the news.

Moreover, he is very optimistic about the young man Grey. As a descendant of a knight, he is extremely brave and powerful. He is the most powerful warrior in the kingdom. He has climbed up from the bottom and is very kind to the people. The viscount leader is prosperous and has a good reputation in the kingdom.

Such a person, the old king believed that marrying his daughter was definitely the best choice, and in the future he would be a powerful and kind king, leading the country to a stronger one.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as his daughter came back, she swears that the other party was an evil dragon and did not want to marry him, so she would catch him and imprison him.

Even though he knew that this request was a bit too much and rude, the old king met his beloved daughter again after a long separation and was eager to love her daughter. In order to compensate for her fatherly love that had been missing for many years, he still couldn't bear to say something he refused. He decided to let his daughter be willful once and give other compensation to Gray. He would talk about their marriage later.

At this time, something even more surprising came. The loyal viscount suddenly rebelled in the palace hall, accusing him of breaking his promise, losing the honor and pride that the king deserved, subdued many nobles, seized the throne, and became the new king of this country.

He could see that Gray was disdainful of the Count he promised and his future engagement with the princess, and he did not even have any admiration for the princess. Instead, he did not care about the princess at all when he took action, and knocked her out with a slap.

"Omo, what should we do next?" the queen said worriedly. Gray was in a bad position and would probably attack them in order to prevent future troubles.

This kind of thing has happened a lot among close relatives, not to mention that for an outsider, you should not naively think about the other party’s benefits.

"Don't worry, it will be fine. Gray will not admit that he forced his power to seize. He will definitely declare to the outside world that I passed the throne to him, or find other reasons. No matter what reason he looks for, we will be left behind in the end. Otherwise, something happened to us as soon as he became the new king, and his reputation will definitely be damaged, which will not be good for him to rule the country." The old king comforted.

"As long as we cooperate with him, Gray will not take any greater risks for us who are completely unthreatening. It would be unpaid for him. He is a very pragmatic person."

But he didn't say that when the inheritance storm passed, few people remembered them again, no one knew what their fate would be like.

"But Father, he stole your kingdom, we really want it..."

"It's okay, as long as he doesn't hurt you, I can do anything!" The old king who had surrendered once did not care much about this. The guardians of them outside were Gray's confidants, and at least three people were together at the same time, supervising each other, even when going to the toilet, and not giving any chance to send messages.

Not to mention whether there are people here who are loyal to him, even if there are, there is no chance to send messages to the surrounding troops for reinforcements, and he dare not.

If you want reinforcements, it is only when the two sides confront each other. This is completely in the hands of others. There is nothing more to reinforcements. Once the reinforcements come, they will use a backhand sword and everything will be done.

The three of them were all worried, but the old king was more mature and did not show it.

"Mr. Samo, Mr. King, please go to the study to see him!" The three soldiers pushed open the door, and one of the leaders said, making a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be back soon!" The old king stood up, explained to his wife and daughter, and immediately left with the three of them.

If he had any worries before, his heart would be much more stable now. From the soldiers' attitude, it can be seen that Gray did not intend to do anything to them, otherwise the other party would not be so polite.

The old king met the other party in the study. Grey had changed into loose robe and was no longer dressed as a knight, but he didn't see Grey wearing his crown on his head. He glanced at him in a vague way. The old king found it on a table on the left.

"Your Majesty the King!" The old king Satsuma saluted seriously.

Grey nodded slightly. Seeing the old king's attitude, he knew that the next thing would go smoothly.

"You and I know what's going on now, and I don't say that hypocritical nonsense. I just want to do one thing. You help me control this country as soon as possible. I guarantee the safety of the queen and the princess, and I promise that as long as you don't do stupid things, you will never break the bridge in the future."

Gray made his request directly. He is very busy now and has a lot of things to deal with, so he is too lazy to talk about some irrelevant nonsense.

The reason why I thought of this old king was nothing more than the person who had given up before. If he was very tough and ignored his wife and daughter's life and death, even if the other party said he wanted to help him, he would not dare to use it.

Knowing the other party’s weaknesses, Gray naturally has to choose a more labor-saving way.

"Thank you for your kindness, this is my honor!" The old king was very tactful and did not continue to ask, but agreed directly.

As for asking the other party how to guarantee that the promise will be fulfilled, it is a question that only fools will ask. In this case, no matter what guarantee is, it will be useless to ask, but it will make people impatient. That is to push yourself into the fire pit.

At this time, you can only hold on to the other party's hope that the other party will keep its promise, try your best to play your role, and win opportunities for yourself with sincerity.

Of course, Gray's previous credibility was also very important. Otherwise, if someone who never keeps his promise and goes back on his word, even if the other party says something scattered, the old king would not believe it, but would find an opportunity to die with him.

With the help of the old king, Gray took him to patrol the territory as soon as possible, and everything was temporarily left to his father to manage.

I spent two hours patrolling the capital and accepting cheers from the people along the way.

In this way, the old king gave way became much more reliable. After all, the old king was still with Gray with a smile and inspecting the capital together.

Grey took the old king back to the palace and asked him to teach him how to deal with some government affairs. The kingdom was not big, and many places were territories of nobles and were governed by them. Therefore, Grey did not have much work, but he only handled the affairs of the village and the major affairs of a country. Grey was still a little unfamiliar with it.

The old king did not dare to hide his own personal experience and gave Gray little by little his experience.

Seeing that the old king was so tactful, Grey reciprocates and asked the soldiers to change their rooms and allow them to move in the back garden.

However, the number of soldiers guarding did not decrease, but increased a lot.

Gray was not afraid of any trouble for them. His strength could completely crush others, and he also controlled the royal capital army. He was not afraid of anyone, but just felt that something would be troublesome.

And before they make trouble, they have to think about whether the lives of the three people are still worth.
