All Things Wrong

“Your Highness, have you forgotten that I told you about this yesterday?” Marina over here warned.

“Yesterday? No wonder I'm a little impressed, but...” Anthony touched his head, "to be honest, I don't really remember. ”

“Who is this Romerig?” Li Huilin asked.

“He is a novel knight from the Lentzad family, a mercenary who has travelled all over the continent and has recently returned to the country.” Marina introduced.

“Oh... oh... I remember, it's this guy.” Anthony's memory came back, "the Lentzads were the famous knights, right? ”

“The Cavalier family?” Li Huilin asked.

“Yeah, the Lenthades have a very good lineage of fighters, and basically every generation has a very good fighter, and more particularly, the family has never been sealed since its inception, and even if the king sealed them up, they would push them away. They say that their home lesson is to be only a loyal knight, so it's called the knight family.” Anthony said.

“Alas? There is such a clean family.” Li Huilin said.

“Throughout the generations, the Renthad family were knights of the court in the palace, but the last generation of the house owner, Miel. Renthad died in an animal war more than a year ago, and a new generation of homeowners has yet to be settled, so much so that it is always under discussion.” Marina said.

“Your Highness, I also know some things about this.” Standing next to the guardian knight Del Nate suddenly said.

“Oh, you know? Yeah, you're the chief knight now, and you should know a little bit about the knight family.” Anthony nods over here, "what's going on? Say it.”

“After the death of Miel, the last head of the Lensade family, there were thirteen candidates who were able to succeed him, four of whom were his brother and brother, nine of whom were their next generation, Miel himself had no children, but adopted two adopted children, and this Romerig... Renthad is one of the adopted children.” Del Nate said.

“Adopted son?” Anthony here was also the first to hear about it, and said with some surprise.

“Yes, Romerig should have been an orphan adopted by Miel from a very young age, not yet known for his specific origins, in the middle of the war, so there were so many orphans that it was very difficult to identify them.” But what is certain is that Romerig's martial arts talent was remarkable, and at the age of 9 he entered the palace to study swordsmanship with the then great prince, and as a guardian knight of the great prince, he traveled abroad at the age of 16, quickly breaking out of heaven and earth, and was called 'Romerig the Storm Knight'. ”

“Stormrider Romerig? Sounds so harsh?” Li Huilin said.

“Yes, unlike the brawling talent of the Lentsard family, Romerig awakens the brawling of the wind attribute, relying on his own talent, and Romerig is very famous for his presence in the mercenary world on the continent.” Miel is said to be very satisfied with this adopted son, "Del Nate said," and has repeatedly said that Romerig is his heir. But more than a year ago, Miel died honorably in the battle against the Beasts, but he didn't have time to leave a formal will and designate a governor... ”

“Understood, because Romerig was adopted, so the family disagreed with his position as governor of the family, right?” Li Weilin over here said.

“Yes.” Dernad nodded, “The elders of the Lentzad family said that in the event of another family bloodline, the governor should have chosen one in his own bloodline, but Miel's reputation in the family was still high, resulting in some family members agreeing that Romerig would succeed the family governor in accordance with Miel's will. The politics on both sides had been going on for almost a year now, and the Lentzad family governor had yet to formally succeed him. ”

“Understandably…” Anthony nodded on this side, "If it were me, I would prefer to choose my family's bloodline to inherit the home governor's position. How about Romerig himself, would you like to take over as governor of the family? ”

“This is unclear, but after Miel's death a year ago, Romerig returned home once, but soon left the empire again, hearing that he continued to be a mercenary until recently.” Delnut replied.

“Oh, why come back at this hour?” Anthony asked.

“'Cause the governor's results are coming soon.” Li Weilin next door suddenly said, “Really? ”

“Yes…” Derna nodded, “According to rumours, the Lensades decided to elect their own governor at this Knights' Competition. ”

“In other words, speaking with strength in the end? Romerig came back this time, which means he wants to compete in this competition?” Anthony said.

“The Knights Competition?” Li Huilin was stunned, as Reg had just said.

“Don't the Duke know? Just every year...”

“I know, I know, I don't have to explain.” Seeing Delnut want to introduce himself, Li Wylin on this side quickly stopped, “in fact, my knight had just suggested that I go to this convention to find some more capable fighters as knights, right? ”

“Oh, yeah.” Derner nods his head, "the Duke hurries, because His Highness also wants to see if there are any available talents to expand our Knights of the Court. ”

“Are you going too?” Li Huilin suddenly frowned.

“Yeah.” Anthony nodded, “I want to see what's going on. ”

“Generally speaking, will the king go to this race?” Li Huilin asked.

“Alas? That's not a rule, but, you know, former King Reine is a martial arts nut, and basically he attends every Knights Games. Of course I don't want to attend every time, but this is my first Knights Games since I got here, so I thought I'd go check it out.” Anthony said.

“Was that the other guy's idea?” Li Huilin lifted the letter and said.

“It turns out...” Marina next to him immediately said, "The purpose of the other party's letter to Romerig is to calculate that Your Highness will go to the Knights Competition, and when you are there, the person who will award the final championship prize will surely be Your Highness. At that time, Romerig, the powerful person who may win the championship, will have the opportunity to approach you...”

“Assassination?” Del Nate here received it immediately.

“It's possible.” Li Huilin nodded, "Anthony has no heir to the throne now, which means that the empire's roots are not yet very stable. If anything happens to Anthony himself, the former royal clan won't raise any objections from the people, or should be a very smooth thing. ”

“I do have no brothers, my only blood is my sister, she is unlikely to inherit the throne...” Anthony nodded, “I have not noticed this since the founding of the country, which is very fatal indeed. ”

“Your Highness, don't go to the competition tomorrow.” Del Nate on this side said immediately.

“No?” Anthony thought about it, "This is the first Knights Competition since the founding of the new Empire. If I don't attend, the Knights might have a very bad impression on me...”

“Well… in that case, in case the Knights think that the new emperor does not pay much attention to them, it is also very detrimental to the development of the Empire to provoke their opposition.” said Marina next door.

“But His Majesty's safety is paramount, and I think it is only necessary to make a statement expressing support for the Knights' Competition and not to be present in person.” As an escort knight, Del Nate naturally puts Anthony's safety first, and he ignores any other political considerations.

“This is... too hasty.” Marina said.

“Hmm.” Anthony nodded, “It's just a statement or something, and it's possible to deal with them. It's okay, I think even if this Romerig wants to assassinate me, he needs to see if he's qualified, and I'm not afraid of him at all. ”

“Your Highness, this is too dangerous, I object.” Del Nate said immediately.

“I disagree too.” Queen Marina said immediately, "Your life is not just yours now, but for the sake of this new empire, you must also stay away from danger. This is not the time to fight hard. You are now the king of the empire, so please don't say something that doesn't fit your identity easily. ”

Anthony was a little shocked, then thought about it, nodded his head: “Queen, you are right, I am wrong, indeed this is not what an emperor is supposed to say, it is my fault. ”

“Your Highness, just understand.” Marina laughed and said, "Your Highness also has a point. Making a statement can be disgusting to the ranks of the knights, believing that His Highness despises them, but concubines have a way. ”

“Oh, what can the queen do?” Anthony asked.

“Didn't the Duke of Aquitan say he was going to the Knights Competition to see what was going on? With the Duke of Aquitan in his current position, even if he is present on behalf of His Majesty the King, there should be no problem. Can we solve this problem by simply stating that His Majesty the King is physically ill and that the Duke of Aquitan is present instead of His Majesty?” Marina looked at Li Wylin and said.

“Alas?” Anthony stunned. "Isn't that dangerous? ”

“How could it be? The target is Your Highness. What is the danger of the Duke of Aquitan?” Marina said immediately.
