I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

Chapter 412: The Controversy Between King and Prime Minister

While excavating the ruins of Ingaso in the Tabur region of the southern continent, the world is amazed.

In the most magnificent Hill Palace in the central city of Göttinghagen, the capital, a major event that caused a sensation in the world happened not long after.

The area of ​​this incomparably luxurious palace has been expanded by a full third compared to two years ago.

Countless treasures, antiques, armors, and ancient weapons from all over the place come in and out of the palace every day without asking for money, and one store after another for treasures has been piled up like a mountain.

The wealth that belonged exclusively to King Xiaoku rose steadily with the growth of Baia's national power.

It was originally a place of extravagance and wealth, but at this moment, there are bright gas lamps hanging all over the palace.

The lights are turned on day and night, even though electric lights have begun to flow into the North Continent and into the territory of the Baia Kingdom, many areas in the Twelve States have even used electricity for ordinary people.

Only Göttinghagen Customs was given a strict death order, and not a single light bulb was allowed to flow into the capital.

Your Majesty does not like this kind of next-generation technology,

I don't even like someone using it in front of him.

This moment.

In His Majesty's exclusive dressing room, several young and beautiful maids respectfully stretched out a set of gorgeous black robes embroidered with lions for him.

The cost of the clothes alone is already a monthly tax in some small towns in the state.

In William II's clothing locker, there are hundreds of equally expensive clothing, each of which is different.

"not bad."

Wilhelm II looked at himself in the mirror, he was puffy and he used a deep color scheme just right.

Looking at himself in the mirror with a majestic appearance and an extraordinary appearance, William II stroked the exquisite beard on his upper lip. The effect of this costume was not satisfactory.

"It's better to look at the next set."

"Father, Prime Minister Sorens has arrived at the palace, and the head of the palace is arranging for him to meet with you."

Outside the palace, a handsome prince in a tight-fitting restraint suit half-kneeled outside the door to report to him.

"Oh, Kadler, my son, you are here, come and see the costume I will wear to the Capitol later, it is simply beautiful." William II had a warm smile on his face.

"Really, it's very beautiful."

When the second prince Kadler saw his father showing off his new clothes to him again, he thought of a disrespectful remark circulating among the people.

His Majesty the King of Baia, either in the locker room or on the way to the locker room.

Although this is a bit exaggerated, since William II came out of the "perpetual motion machine" incident two years ago, he has focused on his own grooming, indulged in this hobby, and never tired of it.

Baia's kingdom loves new clothes, and that's a well-known fact in high-level government meetings.

It seemed that as long as he changed into a new set of clothes, he could naturally become a wise king surpassing his father.

Prince Kadler kept his head down ever since he entered the main hall, and he didn't even have the courage to face his father squarely.

Even every time he speaks, he always keeps his head down, terrified of the gloomy His Majesty the King, who will end up with the prince exiled on the border if he doesn't pay attention.

"Kadler, although your ability to do things has always been mediocre, fortunately your aesthetics are not bad."

After hearing this sentence, Prince Kadler went straight up to flatter him:

"What you said is very true. These beautiful clothes are more attractive than treasures. If you want, I will let Mr. Manager continue to purchase materials for you to make more beautiful clothes."

"No need."

William II, whose ears were itchy after hearing the flattery, "You will only bring me more infamy by doing this. That old guy Tilo has talked to me several times. If he wants to save internal affairs expenses, there is still more money left." Many poor people do not even have access to food.

What a joke, I am the king of this country, and the national treasury is accumulated through the efforts of all the Baia people, but I use the resources in my hands to do some small things.

He doesn't allow this, and he doesn't allow that. I don't know if I, a king, can still be tolerated in his eyes. "

William II's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of dissatisfaction between the lines, and the atmosphere in the dressing room almost froze.

The second prince Kadler, who was born in the royal family, sneered: "Actually, Mr. Prime Minister also has good intentions. Now that the situation on the front line is unclear, the money should be used wisely."

"You mean that I am extravagant and wasteful. If a powerful country doesn't even pay attention to the king's clothes and birthday ceremonies, it will only make other countries laugh."

"No such intention, father, you have misunderstood me. What I mean is that no matter how the treasury's money is used, it should be done according to your wishes."

Kadler gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. What he said just now had already sent him half a foot into the netherworld.

There was only a prince who was demoted from the capital a few years ago, and he never wanted to follow in the footsteps of that one.

William II snorted softly: "So that guy Tilo asked you to convey something."

"The contract date for the alliance between the Kingdom and the Sa Loren Empire is approaching, and what was signed at the beginning was only a one-year renewal treaty every two years.

At the current moment, it is time to renew the contract with Sa Luolun, and it should be renewed for a few more years, so as to deter Landis from making any further moves. "

"Wait, wait, I don't know if it will take a few more years to get a conclusion.

Heh, I love the Duke of Saurons so much, I sacrificed so much for him, released that ungrateful boy, and publicly wrote a confession to the outside world.

Because of him, I have been treated coldly in the royal court for many years, and I have endured all this in silence, just because I and all the citizens regard him as a living symbol of our Baia Kingdom.

But how did he repay me, and set up some kind of 'mainland policy', forming an alliance with this one today, showing favor with that one tomorrow, and even dared to transfer the interests of the southern continent to other countries.

My face was almost lost by him.

These guys who sit in high positions have no spine at all, and they are a disaster for a country. Since I don't have the ability, I should get out of that position wisely, and get someone more useful to come up..."

Wilhelm Hohenzollern got angry when he talked about it, and stopped talking at this point.

It seems to realize that such a thing should not be said here.

"Bang, bang, bang... bang..."

William II held tightly in his hand a crutch with a beautiful diamond inlaid on its head and other materials made of gold, and subconsciously knocked heavily on the ground.

It's just that he accidentally walked too fast, and his legs slipped a step forward, and he only felt a dull pain in the inner thigh.

When he was born in the mother's womb, he suffered from terrible paralysis, which made the muscles of one of his legs atrophy. This is also a lingering shadow surrounding his childhood.

So he always tried to use a more beautiful robe to cover that inferiority leg.

S...

William II had a painful expression on his face when he pulled his leg, which made him gasp in pain.

Most of the time in the outside world, in order to maintain the image of a perfect king, His Majesty the King of Baia was not allowed to use crutches, so whenever he fell ill, he had to endure the piercing pain.

Compared with the pain on his body, the anger in William II's heart was even more burning.

It hasn't stopped for two years.

Hearing a bang, William II threw away the golden cane, his eyes full of majesty:

"Listen to me, I will never agree to this matter, and I don't want to see that person again until this matter is resolved.

You tell him so. The Salored Empire has been active on the border to the south these years, sending countless spies to invade our country. The ambitious guy is not a reliable partner.

The war with Landis does need allies, but they are definitely not half-hearted allies. "

...

Outside the court.

Several figures had been waiting here for a long time, and when Prince Kadler arrived with an apologetic face, they finally got the result.

"Sorry, my father is really weak, and I can't come out to see you for the time being. He wants me to convey something to you."

Prince Kadler took his father's words with shame,

It was conveyed intact to Prime Minister Thilo Sollens and Mr. Klan next to him.

The patron saint who had guarded Baia for decades silently listened to that crazy order. He was over sixty years old and half of his hair was dyed pale. After listening to the king's words, his back was slightly bent,

After the assassination, Thilo's aging rate seems to be accelerating dramatically.

"Trouble you, since His Majesty has no time to see me, he simply disappeared, but please reconsider the renewal of the covenant with Sa Loren.

Sa Luolun is a big country in the east, and Ryan Kingdom in the north can just contain the various fronts of Lantis. Although they have plans, they will never be arrogant enough to take action against the big southern country.

As for the surrounding small and medium-sized countries, even the lumbar vertebrae have been shattered by Landis and Baia over the years, they form an alliance with you today, and break the contract with him tomorrow.

It is never a good choice to cooperate with them. "The seasoned Thilo Thorens explained the essence of the alliance in one word.

"Okay, I will convey it to you, but you must also know your father's temper." Prince Kadler just smiled wryly, and didn't think it was useful.

"Give it a try! After all, I have worked hard."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Mr. Thilo's mouth, and he turned around without saying much and was about to leave.

Seeing no one around, he changed the subject casually.

"Klan, has your sister gone to the Southern Continent?"

Crane responded sullenly: "It must have arrived."

"This matter is very important. Let him stabilize Tu Fu for the time being. I will find a way to get you back. It only takes a little patience." Thilo Sollens said slowly.

Kelan beside him had long been unable to suppress the anger in his heart. He turned his head and looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then said angrily:

"Father, is your majesty going too far this time? You don't even bother to perfunctory what you have been perfunctory, and you want to give up the ally relationship with Sa Loren. It's crazy."

"Do you think His Majesty really doesn't understand diplomatic matters?"

"What's the meaning."

When Prime Minister Sorens left from Hill Palace, he looked at the magnificent palace with a bit of reluctance on his face.

In the end, there is only one meaningful sentence left,

Even Klan broke his head and didn't understand the meaning of these words.

"Your Majesty knows everything, but doesn't care about anything."
