Chapter 1880 Accountability

Looking at the housekeepers running over, I felt a tremble in my heart: They actually came to greet me. It seemed that the Orc King and the others were really impatient.

As I expected, the expressions of the two chamberlains were extremely nervous. They told me that His Majesty was very angry and asked me to be more careful.

Along the way, I felt anxious in my heart.

It's not that I panic because of the Orc King's anger, but because I don't know the reason for the Orc King's anger.

God knows if he has discovered that there is no coffin of the tomb owner in the mausoleum. If he uses this as an excuse to make things difficult for me, what should I do?

If the truth is told and Master Dewey is confessed, maybe my father-in-law will do nothing to me for Master Dewey's sake, but he will definitely inform Cagalli of this matter through unknown means. Then Things got big.

I am not afraid of punishment from the Orc King, but I am afraid that Cagalli will cause trouble. This girl is not as face-conscious as her father. She is good at making mischief, and she has always adhered to the life philosophy of "trying to do things but not nagging".

Therefore, the name of Master Dewey must no longer be used.

In this case, I have to come up with a similar lie, which can fool the Orc King while still not letting people like the old Duke and Prime Minister Lestat see the clues.

However, what kind of lies can prevent them from detecting the clues?

My eyes twitched and I sighed in my heart: It’s so hard to lie.

At this moment, the Beastman King was sitting on the stone bench in the back garden with a solemn expression.

Beside him, the orc queen held a quiet cat in her arms. The cat's big eyes were wide open and it stared at me who had just stepped through the door.

When I was far away, I noticed that the eyes of this cat had different colors, and the deep parts of the pupils were shining with extraordinary colors.

This is no ordinary cat.

Looking at the expression of the Beastman Queen, she was still as kind and graceful as usual, but there was a hint of meaning in the depths of her eyes.

Except for the Beastman King and his wife, there was no one else in the entire back garden.

I was beating a drum in my heart, so I hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "I have met your majesty and queen, An Xiaoyi."

The Beastman King snorted coldly and said nothing. The Beastman Queen on the side smiled and said: "We are all members of our own family, why should we be polite? Come on, Xiaoyi, sit here."

"yes."

I responded, glanced at the Orc King's expression, and saw that he had no objection. Then I quickly came between the two of them, and carefully sat on the stone bench.

The orc queen stroked the cat gently and asked in a deep voice: "How have you been resting these two days?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty and the Queen, I am resting well."

"That's good," the orc queen said, "Xiaoyi, to tell you the truth, my husband and I haven't had a good rest these past two days."

When I heard this, I felt a twitch in my heart: I'd better wait and see what happens when it comes.

So, he pretended to know nothing and asked: "If you dare, please express it to Her Majesty the Queen."

The Orc King snorted again and slapped the table with his palm, which made the teacups on the table jump. It frightened the cat in the Orc Queen's arms and made the fur stand up, but even so, the cat still remained. Without saying a word, he huddled in the arms of the orc queen.

To be honest, I was also startled by the coercion just released by the Orc King. Fortunately, I was mentally prepared, so I didn't lose my composure.

The orc queen glanced at the orc king angrily: "Don't be so impatient, you scared Xiao Yi."

The orc king pursed his lips, glanced at his wife, then glared at me, and said, "It's better to scare him, so that he knows the etiquette!"

"Xiao Yi is a wandering adventurer. It's normal for him to not understand some etiquette. He is a sensible child. As long as he is taught well, I believe he will learn it soon." The orc queen looked at me lovingly, then turned to the orc king and said angrily. : "Besides, there is something wrong with your education method. What's the use of being strict? Do you still want to educate Xiaoyi into a rebellious character like Cagalli?"

"This kid is much more rebellious than our Cagalli!" The Orc King pointed at me and said angrily.

"Then tell me, where did Xiao Yi become rebellious?" The orc queen looked at her husband calmly and said calmly.

"he"

The Beastman King, with an angry expression on his face, stretched out his thick index finger and pointed at me fiercely, but he couldn't utter another word for a long time.

"You only vented your anger on Xiao Yi because you lost face," the orc queen said slowly, "I've told you so many times that if you want to hold a celebration banquet, you have to notify the parties in advance, but you never listen. Now the responsibility has been thrown on Xiao Yi."

Celebration party?

When I heard these three words, my nervousness instantly relaxed, and I roughly guessed the whole story.

The Beastman King is a decent monarch. As his son-in-law, after discovering the tomb, I not only did not monopolize the treasures in it, but instead donated the treasures to his old man. This selfless dedication naturally made the Beastman King Longyan very happy.

The Beastman King was in a good mood and immediately held a celebration banquet, thinking that I would rush to the palace as soon as possible to join him at the banquet.

But who would have expected that my rush to the palace would be delayed due to a strange combination of circumstances due to the meteorite incident.

The banquet went on as usual, but the rightful owner did not show up, which made the orc king very embarrassed.

As for why no one came to notify me, I guess it was because the Beastman King made a bet before the banquet, saying that even if he didn't send someone to notify me, I would come.

All in all, the final result was that I was not present and the Orc King lost face.

The Orc King, who was being lectured constantly by the Orc Queen, kept glaring at me with his bull's eyes, which made my hair stand on end, but I didn't dare to get up and leave, so I had to endure it silently.

Finally, the orc queen's sermon ended, and the orc king and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

But then, the Beastman King glared over: "I admit that part of the responsibility for this matter lies with me, but Xiaoyi, please remember firmly that after you do any good deeds in the future, you must report it to me as soon as possible. I see, this is not only the rule as a minister, but also the duty of a junior!"

I lowered my eyebrows and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Seeing that I had admitted my mistake, the Beastman King's tone of voice softened somewhat, although his face was still ugly.

Soon, he mentioned the conversation I had with Fergus Illidan in the tomb.

"I heard that Illidan boy discussed the value of artillery with you in the tomb passage. Is this true?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, this is indeed the case."

The Orc King nodded: "I also heard that you suggested that Illidan report to me and propose the mass production of artillery to guard the country's gates?"

"Yes, I have made suggestions in this regard."

"Well, Xiaoyi, tell me, in your eyes, are the walls of my city of Dashai that fragile?"
