Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 31 George VI!
The Summer Palace is a summer resort for the royal family of Tesin.
Night had just fallen, and King George VI, who had just finished dinner, stood by the lake in a casual robe, feeding the goldfish in the lake with bread crumbs in his hand - this was his daily after-dinner activity after moving to the Summer Palace.
A handful of bread crumbs was thrown down, and a group of goldfish gathered around.
When King George VI clapped his hands to indicate that there were no more crumbs, the goldfish swam away.
King George VI watched this scene with a smile on his face and raised his hand to signal his entourage to bring some more bread crumbs.
The king of Tesin is just fifty years old, which is already an old man for a civilian family, but for the royal family, he is in the prime of life.
However, the king was not obsessed with power. Ten years ago, he divided his power equally among his three younger brothers, allowing himself to spend his days in leisure.
Except for the regular meetings on the 1st, 10th and 30th of each month, the ministers basically never saw the king.
Instead, you will see His Majesty the King at some cocktail parties and salons.
Naturally, some people will complain about this.
But it did not change the king's practice.
His Majesty the King smiled and promised that he would never do that again, but he continued to do as he pleased.
And Tesin did not fall into chaos, but became stronger in a sense.
"Your Majesty, three princes have arrived."
The follower whispered as he handed over the bread crumbs.
“So soon?”
"It seems that what happened in the North is bigger than we imagined!"
The king sighed but slowly dropped the bread crumbs in his hand.
When the last crumbs were gone, the king clapped his hands and walked towards the small reception room in the Summer Palace.
The door of the reception room was not closed, and the king saw his three younger brothers at a glance.
Prince Gerald, who sat upright with a military air, wore a military dress uniform even in summer - a dress that was carefully tailored for officers to attend daily activities. The sleeves of lieutenants and colonels were different, and Prince Gerald, who was a general, had a gold star on his shoulder.
Prince Mossalek was standing there admiring the tulips in the small reception room. His Highness had a lazy look on his face. He seemed to be admiring the tulips, but in fact he was yawning non-stop and looked like he was not fully asleep.
Prince Ronald, who had his eyes closed, had the calmest expression. He placed his hands on the armrests of the sofa, one leg crossed over the other, and his breathing was steady and long.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
The king spoke before he arrived.
Prince Gerald stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"His Majesty!"
Prince Mosalek complained a little.
"Brother, you should have a sense of time."
Prince Ronald opened his eyes, smiled at George VI, and said nothing.
"Okay, okay, I get it."
The king comforted Prince Mosalik, then walked to the sofa in the middle of the reception room and sat down. He looked at his three brothers and sighed, "Is it the North?"
"Well, yes, your majesty."
"All our ambassadors and attendants in the North died two hours ago."
Prince Gerald nodded and said meticulously.
"The Shadow, the largest assassin organization in the North, has publicly offered a bounty on our heads."
Prince Mosalek said with a look of disdain.
"Our spies have also lost contact."
Prince Ronald was the last one, speaking softly.
"Hahaha."
"It seems that you have pushed that old bear into a corner."
"Tell me, what did you do?"
When George VI heard the words of the three princes, he was not angry at all, but burst into laughter.
"Someone attacked Old Bear's nephew Goethe Wayne."
"and……"
"It also left a smile on this young man's face."
Under the gaze of Prince Gerald and Prince Mosalek, Prince Ronald spoke slowly and even gestured the so-called "smiley face" to his three brothers.
"No wonder that old bear went crazy."
George VI nodded suddenly.
"Brother, now is not the time to sigh. What should we do?"
Prince Mosalek said directly.
"Tell me your solution first."
George VI said this and looked at Prince Gerald.
"I have ordered the Second Army to be on high alert near the northern border, and the Third and Fourth Armies are ready to go."
Prince Gerald said.
"I'll have my men get close to the 'Shadow' to see if they can blend in and find the troublesome guy."
Mossalek continued.
"A secret force under my command has already headed to the northern border. They will let the Ke family in the northern border understand that there are some things that cannot cross the bottom line."
Prince Ronald said finally.
This is not an overstepping of authority.
Because this was the right given to Prince Ronald by George VI.
"Well, let's do it your way."
“But you must exercise restraint.”
"Our enemy is not the North."
George VI did not object, just gave a reminder.
The three princes immediately bowed in response.
Afterwards, the three princes said goodbye one by one.
George VI did not leave the small reception room, he was waiting.
About five minutes later, Prince Mossalek returned.
"Brother!"
Prince Mosalek did not salute casually as before, but seriously.
"Okay, okay."
“Don’t do that.”
"You are my brother."
George VI said with a smile, holding Prince Mossalek's hand.
"My Lord Brother, I have sent someone to contact the Fabol people. They promised to take action within a week and attack the Bear Castle in sheep costumes."
"With our help, the daughter of Lord Svetla has quietly gathered some soldiers who were loyal to the former master of Tesvera. They are just in use right now."
"With internal and external troubles, the old bear's attention will definitely be attracted."
"When the time comes, we will cooperate with Gerald's Second Army to go first, and the Third and Fourth Armies will follow. We will definitely be able to quickly sweep across the North and head straight for the northern capital of Halest."
Prince Mosalek spoke of his real plan.
After hearing Prince Mosalek's plan, George VI breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mosa, luckily you are here, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"With your ability, you are more suitable to be the king."
"And me?"
"It's more suitable for rest and recuperation."
His Majesty the King looked at Prince Mosalik with gratitude.
"Brother, you are the most suitable one since you have saved me more than once."
Prince Mosalek said firmly.
His Royal Highness then bowed again to George VI in farewell.
"Onii-sama, I'm going to go make sure this plan succeeds."
"Go ahead, and be safe."
George VI gave instructions and sent Prince Mosalek to the door of the Summer Palace, then reluctantly returned to the small reception room.
Prince Ronald has been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the High Priest of the Church of Flesh and Blood, Delonsta, is willing to pledge allegiance to the royal family."
"And also memorized all the secret arts of the 'Flesh and Blood Church'."
"only……"
"The manner in which the 'Lord of Flesh and Blood' descends cannot be written."
Prince Ronald reported.
"As far as the gods are concerned, this is good enough. The 'Mist Killer' has been trained well. If possible, continue to select some people from the 'Supernormal'."
"We need ' Secret Keepers', but we also need more power that belongs entirely to us."
"A knife shouldn't have thoughts."
George VI said slowly.
"clear."
"There is another secret army of mine in the northern territory. Do you want to activate it?"
Ronald asked.
"Not yet. This secret force will be used to deliver a fatal blow to the old bear when he is completely exhausted."
George VI emphasized.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Prince Ronald nodded in agreement.
Then, just as suddenly as he had returned before, His Royal Highness the Prince disappeared without a trace.
George VI stood up and walked towards the lake.
"His Majesty!"
Prince Gerald placed his hands on his heart and bowed.
George VI waved his hand and looked at his brother with a smile.
"Gerald, do you know why I am willing to give you my army?"
the king asked.
"Because I am the person you trust the most!"
Prince Gerald replied decisively.
"certainly!"
"That is beyond doubt!"
"But the most important thing is——"
"just!"
As the king spoke, he looked directly at Prince Gerald and said word by word, "You are the most just person I have ever met. Only a truly just person can make soldiers brave and fearless, and can treat everyone equally, and will not embezzle the credit of his subordinates. The belief of Tesin when his ancestor George I founded the country is embodied in you."
"And me?"
“Can’t do that.”
"I will change my position because of family and friendship."
George VI said this with a wry smile.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do it for you."
Prince Gerald assured.
"I trust you."
"So, in this battle with the North, you must understand what to do."
George VI looked hopefully at Prince Gerald.
The latter responded with a chivalric salute.
“I won’t let you down.”
With that, Prince Gerald left.
George VI once again asked his attendants to bring some bread crumbs.
As the bread crumbs were thrown in, the goldfish swam over again.
Just like the people around him.
The goldfish are there for food.
Where are those people?
Be it fame or fortune, it can be anything.
Therefore, he can only prescribe the right medicine for the disease.
When facing someone like Mosalik who seems frivolous but is actually loyal and righteous, treat him with emotion.
When faced with a power-conscious person like Ronald, give him more power, let power become his shackles, and make him work hard for you.
And facing someone who values reputation as much as Gerald?
Then use the greater good to restrain the other party.
Make the opponent his best spear and shield.
Of course, you still have to rely on yourself at the most critical moment.
"Go and remind Credor that you can act, but don't get too caught up in the role."
George VI said softly.
In the shadow beside him, he swayed slightly.
The next moment calm was restored.
"The North... The North..."
"Ancestor, why did you leave your legacy in the North?"
"And what did you leave there?"
His Majesty the King murmured softly.
