Chapter 822 The Betrayer

"She's fine. She stayed on Sleeping Island in the fjords for a while, and now she's back in Neverwinter again," Hill said with a smile. "I heard that Miss Quinn is very close to His Majesty's younger sister, His Highness Tilly, so His Majesty naturally agrees." I will not treat her badly.````"

Afterwards, there were some trivial conversations. Otto learned from the other party that Andrea liked playing cards, and her marksmanship has improved a lot. Occasionally, she would quarrel with another card player, but generally speaking, she 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 him to sit down first, and then yelled out the door, "Who is making noise down here, go and see what happened!"

"Yes, my lord," replied the maid who had been guarding the door.

"Maybe someone drank too much." He gathered the blanket on his body, "This kind of thing is not common, but as long as it is a tavern, it will inevitably happen. You said that Miss Quinn participated in the Hunting of Neverwinter Competition, what's the result?"

Hill didn't answer, but made a silent gesture, leaning 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 taken aback.

"I heard the sound of iron boots and sword hilts colliding with the floor, tables and chairs. Will anyone wear a full set of armor while drinking?" Hill didn't wait for the maid's return, but directly opened the bag, " Drunkards don't like playing knights, so trouble comes to you."

"This...how is it possible?" Otto frowned, "Please believe me, I never—"

"Of course, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be here looking for you," Hill interrupted.

"Then... let's make an appointment to meet again next time. You go first. If they really come looking for you, I will help you stop them." He felt very regretful in his heart. Know when to hear from Andrea again.

"You won't come with me?" The other party was a little surprised, "That group of people came with bad intentions, it's better for you to return to the territory first."

"Don't worry, I'm the eldest son of the Losey family, they can still do something to me," Otto shook his head, not to mention the rescue of the witch and the secret contact with Roland's secret agent. He kept it from his father. The members of the regiment came, wouldn't it be extraordinarily strange when he left? At that time, even if there is no problem, it will become a problem. "Although no one knows about this secret passage, it is not difficult to search for it. Seeing that the house is empty, they will inevitably feel suspicious. With me staying here, you can evacuate more safely."

"Okay then, good luck to you." Hill didn't hold on anymore, he let go of his hands and slid into the secret passage.

Otto tidied up the sheets and bedding for him, and lay down on the soft bed again.

After a while, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the stairs, mixed with the sound of metal rubbing, and the maid who went to inquire about the situation never appeared again.

There was neither knocking on the door 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 yelled angrily, "This place is the territory of Earl Losey, do you want to rebel!" He was about to stand up and drive the group of rude people out of the tavern, but unexpectedly When the other party rushed forward, he was firmly pressed on the soft bed.

"I'm sorry, Sir, it's not us who want to plot rebellion, but you." The leading knight shrugged. Although they wore gold-plated armor and had emblems on their chests that symbolized the identity of the Royal Knights, Otto found that this group of people were all unfamiliar faces.

Where the hell did they all come from?

"Let go of me!" He twisted his body, "You are slandering!"

"You should tell His Majesty Amperin about this," the knight remained unmoved, "You have failed his trust, my lord."

Hearing Ampein Moya's name, Otto's chest suddenly felt cold.

...

When he saw His Majesty again, it was already two days later.

"I heard that you haven't eaten for the past two days, and you've been arguing to see me?" An Peiyin still had that slightly tired face. After not seeing him for 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 requirements are satisfied, can you eat well?"

"Where is this place?" Otto asked in spite of his sore and hoarse voice, grabbing the iron railing, "Why did you do this? My father!"

"Are you dissatisfied with this room?" An Pain looked around, "The furnishings here are completely based on the standards of the Duke's Mansion. Although it is a bit small, there are all kinds of beds, tables, chairs and bookcases. 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, and I can only relax if I lock you here."

Otto gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, I want to have a good talk with you, but I didn'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 To actually participate in it—to entrust the ambassador of Graycastle, Yorko, to go to the "black money" to participate in the auction, and to help him leave the City of Glory after the incident. If this is not considered betrayal, what else is betrayal? His voice was getting higher and higher, obviously not wanting to suppress his anger, "That day in the palace, didn't you hear how the King of Graycastle broke the covenant and trampled my father's heart on the ground?" ! "

"I……"

"Do you want to talk to me about the betrayers, or the group of witches who deserve to go to hell?" Ampain's voice was full of deep hatred, "Enough, Otolosi! If you are not my childhood Partner, the eldest son of the three major families, has long been sent to the gallows! I still need the power of the three major families, but it doesn’t mean I will need you forever. This is the last chance I will give you, don’t force me out of that step!"

These words made Otto feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He had never seen such a ferocious face on his playmate. 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.

"By the way, didn't you ask how your father is doing?" Before leaving, An Peiyin suddenly said in a cold voice, "He has nothing to do, and he still attended the court meeting today—as long as you take all the food you brought Eat honestly, Earl Losey is naturally still a good nobleman who is loyal to the royal family. So stop doing stupid things like hunger strikes, it is good for both of us. If you are stubborn, I can only take some coercive measures .”
