MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 692 : Don't bully the young and poor
"This is the empire's answer!" Looking at the returned credential and the glaring "no" on it, Simon's face was extremely ugly.
"Well...Although the Silvermoon Kingdom repelled the attack of the Red Scorpion Khanate, after all, the Fortress of Unfalling is still in the hands of the Red Scorpion Khanate, and the fact that it is passive in strategy still hasn't changed. You still can't take it back. Let's talk about restoring the kingdom's personality!"
The archbishop looked at Simon with a half-smile: "Alternatively, you can stay in the embassy to see if you can be summoned by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent."
Simon sat on the sofa of the embassy, looked at the letter of credentials over and over again, and said with a sneer, "Interesting, I thought it would be a great honor to be summoned by your regent as the king of the Silvermoon Kingdom." It's a shame, I didn't expect... I'm not even qualified to be summoned!"
There was a hint of sarcasm on the archbishop's face: "Silver Moon Kingdom was downgraded to a Principality five years ago, and you signed it yourself, so it's better to call it the Silver Moon Principality outside. In addition, you are not the Silver Moon King. It’s just Grand Duke Yinyue.”
Simon felt a wave of anger rushing straight into his mind, but he remained unmoved on the surface. He just squeezed the credentials in his hands and stared straight at the archbishop: "I remember you said five years ago, as long as Silver Moon Once the kingdom shows its own strength, it can restore the kingdom's personality, so I signed the downgrading letter."
Hearing this, the archbishop showed a trace of displeasure: "I am only the archbishop of the Temple of the Gods, and I have never interfered in the political affairs of the empire. How could I say such a thing? Grand Duke Yinyue must have remembered it wrong! "
"Oh!" Simon sneered with disdain, shook his head as if mocking himself, then twisted the credential in his hand into a ball of paper, and threw it into the trash can.
Although five years ago, when he signed the downgrading letter, he knew that what the archbishop said was probably farting, but when this time came, it was really **** frustrating!
"Okay, that's it. Since the regent doesn't want to see me, I'd better go back." Simon patted his clothes, got up and walked directly outside the embassy.
The evil intentions of the empire are already obvious, and staying any longer will only be a waste of time.
The archbishop was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Silver Moon King to be so decisive, so he hurriedly chased him out, and said with a smirk: "In that case, let me see you off!"
Simon got into the carriage and saw that the archbishop was going to see him off, so he opened the window, and the smile on his face made people shudder: "I have heard such a story before, saying that a river once divided a city into two halves. , the side east of the river is poor, and the side of the west side of the river is rich.
One day, a poor boy from Hedong fell in love with a girl from Hexi, but because Hedong was relatively poor, the girl's family disagreed, and the two did not get together.
Later, the king decided to focus on the development of this city. Hexi was rich, so he was content with the status quo, and Hedong was poor, so he seized the opportunity and worked hard.
As a result, after 30 years, the wealth of Hedong is far higher than that of Hexi. The poor boy who used to be a wealthy businessman, so the girl's family regretted it.
I don't know, Archbishop, what do you think of this story? "
The archbishop naturally understood what Simon wanted to express, and a trace of frost flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up, and said with a fake smile: "The reason why Hedong is rich, and why the poor boy is so rich, It's just because the king wants to focus on developing this city, which is the general trend, and the empire... is the general trend!"
Simon sneered: "Well, then let's wait and see, take care of each other, Your Excellency the Archbishop!"
After finishing speaking, Simon closed the car window. It was still the knights clearing the way and the banners unfurling, but it was different from the guard of honor surrounded by the king when he came, looking a little disheartened.
In the houses on both sides of the streets of the imperial capital, many nobles looked at the guard of honor with sarcasm on their faces, as if they were mocking the poor boy's overthinking.
Many civilians even dared to walk past the guard of honor with their heads held high.
The knights guarding the guard of honor were full of frost, but they did not dare to kill people in the streets of the capital of the empire, which made the guard of honor even more useless.
In this way, Simon and his party left the empire in despair, and traveled for several months before returning to the capital of the Silvermoon Kingdom.
The guard of honor stopped in front of the palace, and Mike had already been waiting in front of the palace with a group of close officials. When he saw Simon getting off the carriage exhaustedly, Mike immediately went up to greet him: "Your Majesty, you are back."
"Yeah." Nodding to this old friend, Simon didn't know what to say or how to do for a while, so he simply asked, "Where is the queen?"
Mike is a little puzzled, you have been visiting the empire for nearly half a year, and you ask this when you come back? The government affairs accumulated in the past six months are still not dealt with?
But this is the world of power after all, what the king Simon wants to do, it is not his turn as a little clerk to intervene.
Mike thought for a while and replied, "Her Royal Highness should be in the back garden."
Simon nodded: "Okay, you arrange someone, I'll go see the queen."
The guard of honor of the king's envoys to other countries is not filled with people who can come and go as soon as they are called. They are all court nobles and close officials.
Mike had been prepared for this and waved his hand, and the attendants led the guard of honor to the banquet venue.
Simon walked in the palace, his mind was full of the current situation of the Silvermoon Kingdom, the empire's targets, and the erosion of the Moonlight Church by the human temples.
He has thought about these questions all the way, but he still hasn't been able to get a satisfactory answer.
This is also the reason why, after he left the territory of the empire, he could clearly use the space shuttle, but he still had to go with the guard of honor.
The strength of the empire was definitely not something that the Silver Moon Kingdom could resist, but the actions of the empire made him really unable to swallow this breath.
Moreover, the maliciousness of the empire is already obvious, and he must come up with countermeasures!
For this, he needs time to think.
Before he knew it, Simon walked into the back garden, which was full of flowers, and several court ladies waited beside him.
His queen, Irina, was playing in the garden with his eldest son Arthur and eldest daughter Elizabeth.
Before the war with the Red Scorpion Khanate, Irina was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter named Elizabeth before the war ended.
Seeing the son, the daughter, and Irina, who was full of maternal love, Simon was in a daze for a moment. He seemed to have seen this picture somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
At the gate of the back garden, Simon didn't make any movement, but just quietly watched this warm scene.
Although the maids saw the king, they couldn't understand the king's mind, and no one dared to remind the ecstatic queen who was playing with the prince and princess.
Simon wanted to step into the back garden, but he was afraid of disturbing this warm scene. For a moment, he really wanted to stay in this dream forever.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!" The attendant rushed over, waking Simon up instantly.
Simon looked at the guard expressionlessly. The guard was a little terrified, but he still bit the bullet and reported: "Just now the Archbishop of the Moonlight Church came to report that the Temple of the Gods is forcibly expropriating people's property."
Ka, the cold reality finally shattered the dream, and Simon hurried away with a sullen face.
Ai Ruina in the back garden seemed to have noticed something, she turned her head to look at the door of the back garden, but there was no one there, so she looked at the maid again: "Who came here just now?"
The maids looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what the king meant, so they could only lie and say, "No one has been here."
"Really?" Irina was a little puzzled, but then, Arthur began to bully Elizabeth again, and Elizabeth burst into tears, and as a mother, she hurriedly comforted her.
Her husband doesn't stay at home all day, and he also raises two foxes outside. She can only pin all her thoughts on these sons and daughters.
Whoever wants to touch these two little guys is playing with her with his life!
