Blood Dragon

Chapter 190

Ever since Ashurfat met Skadra, it seems that there has never been such a move.This is because for most of the time they spent together, Skadra was the chief executive of the court—although this official title does not attend the imperial meeting, who can say that this position is not important or critical? ——And Ashurfat is just a mere guard under Skadra.Two people who are very different in position, age, seniority, and qualifications are naturally impossible to meet each other politely for dinner and chat like two friends.

According to a common judgment standard in this era, a village with a population of less than [-] people and original dirt roads is called a "village".The population is more than a thousand, and the roads are made of gravel, but there are no walls (there are only fences) called "towns".A city with walls is called a "city".Now, the last house is behind the two of them, and both sides of the road have turned into farmland and grassland, which means that the two of them have gone out of the scope of the small town.

In this kind of place, there is absolutely no hidden third-party ear.

"Master Skadra, if we go further, we will be by the river. The land there is relatively wet, so it's not suitable for walking."

"No, the walk is incidental, if I can say it, I'd rather say it's a heart-to-heart talk," Scaldera replied. "Remember the last time I asked you a question?"

Ashurfat didn't answer, but the silence said it all.

"I went back this time... and had a good talk with your aunt... the Countess Marianne, who you should call 'Aunt Mary'." Maybe it was to ease the atmosphere at this time, Si Cadra sighed softly. "To be honest, at that time, that is, when you first met me with the letter of introduction... I really didn't expect to have today."

"The situation is changing, and it is beyond human's guess." Ash Rufat replied. "Actually, I didn't think of that either."

If time goes back and everything returns to the starting point, will he do this?

"You... are not actually a qualified guard." Skadra said suddenly. "Her Majesty the Queen told me... what happened during that time. You actually took her out of the palace secretly. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

I am the victim in this matter!Ashurfat actually wanted to tell Skadra that, but he didn't say it in the end.

"At that time, I thought, a person like you... To be honest, I personally don't feel like the kind of man who is very good at pleasing girls," Scadella said. "You were able to marry the two daughters of the Griffin family... and you were recognized by Countess Marianne... I was a little unbelievable. But later, I understood a little bit. You have at least one rare advantage. Then It is a dangerous moment, you are very reliable."

"It's really absurd." Ashuruffat didn't know what to say, so he could only answer like this in the end.

"May I ask... how did the queen's incident start?"

"To be honest, I don't know either." Ashuruffat replied sincerely. "When I realized this, I couldn't help but ask myself: Don't you need a reason to like someone?"

"Do you need a reason to like someone?"

"Maybe you're right." Ashuruffat shrugged. "However, Lord Skadra, some things are not dependent on your will. For example, I... To be honest, my original goal was just to get the title of knight in Falcon City. However, Good Fortune Fool."

He originally thought that Skadra would argue, but in fact Skadra nodded seriously.

"Yes, that's right. I thought so too. When I started to worry about the queen's marriage, it would be... two years later at the earliest. The arrangement of the gods is beyond the human's ability to guess." Skadra suddenly A rare laugh came out. "Ashrufat, for example, you. If it wasn't for the favor of the gods to Gruni, then how could you come here? At the most critical moment in a crisis, there is someone like you who is with His Majesty Around me... and all of this is completely accidental. So far, what else can I believe in besides the arrangement of fate and the favor of the gods?"

"Ah..." It was the first time for Ash Rufat to hear such praise from Skadra.

"However, Ashurfat, I'm going to ask you a question...a simple question. You," this time, the old man stopped, and the two of them were no longer walking side by side, but facing each other with their eyes facing each other. "Do you have ambitions to become a king?"

Although Ashurfat was actually mentally prepared, this question was still too straightforward, which made him stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.

"Don't rush to talk, hurry to explain." Skadra said. "First of all, to be frank and honest, I don't think there is anything wrong with this. From the very beginning, from the time Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, the whole country, from the nobles to the common people, including me, agreed with this idea: by' "Women" inherit blood, and "men" bring strength. The former king and the crown prince unfortunately lost their lives in the battlefield one after another. A loyal, brave and fierce man, clean up the state affairs internally, reject powerful enemies externally, and marry the queen with a perfect marriage... Whether the queen abdicates as queen or not depends on the situation... This kind of result, regardless of legal theory, The interests of the country and even the interests of the royal family are perfect, and it is also the best ending that we are pursuing."

"You think I'm this... your ideal man?"

"It's not that ideal, but at least you're in that position. In fact, I'll admit, you just have to take one step forward if you want to... Nobody can stop you. Of course, there's nothing to stop you." Necessary. From the perspective of the Griffin family, this may be a bit unfair to the two sisters. But for the benefit of the country, let alone sacrificing a few marriages, even sacrificing a few hundred thousand lives is a small matter." Khadra's tone became harsher. "You should know this better than I do."

"Am I really that good?"

"After several months of being the Chancellor of the Exchequer, you can make a surplus of several million kioli in the treasury that was plundered by Byron... This ability cannot be praised too much. Also, About the war, Her Majesty the Queen did not hide from me, you taught her..." When mentioning the little queen, Skadra once again showed a rare smile.At this moment, the serious and almost rigid court chief disappeared, and turned into an old man with a gratified smile. "Actually, I can't believe that such a queen can still appear in the Mark Remiz family."

Ashuruffat couldn't help but smile too.That's true about money.A Jin had sent a messenger before to tell him what happened in Falcon City.Besides, he has other channels, so he knows something about the situation in Falcon City, especially Aileen's actions.Sometimes I think about it, Eileen and a large group of other officials have been worried for a long time, and then they find that everything is just worrying, and they don't know what kind of expression they will have.

There are many benefits to keeping this secret, one of which is to let Byron stay in his lair obediently, and let Ashrufat let go to prepare for war.However, when the war officially begins, there is no need to keep this secret... After all, even when Byron died, he didn't know what happened.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Ashuruffat, let me ask you, do you have this ambition?"

"Would you believe me if I said no?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Scadella asked back. "However, since you are a soldier, you should understand the importance of taking the lead."

"I see." Ash Rufat replied nonchalantly.

At this time, the two unknowingly returned to the previous state of walking side by side, but this time they walked back, and the speed became very slow.

"Ashuruffat, may I ask, why are you standing in this position today?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, why would you choose to side with Her Majesty?" Scadella said. "To be honest, I spent some time inquiring during this period, but I didn't seem to find out about a certain mercenary named Aishuruffat. I don't believe that people like you will be among the mercenaries. in obscurity."

"This..." Ashuruffat also inquired about it himself, but the result was indeed the same as Skadra said.However, considering the problems of black magic and various superhuman physiques, Ashurfat finally believes that before the amnesia, he tried hard to hide his abilities, disguised himself as an ordinary person, or did not use "Ashur" at all. Rufat", these are natural choices.It was obviously futile to inquire about the name "Ashrufat".

Of course, these words cannot be said to Scadella.

"I don't believe... people like you don't have greater ambitions. If you don't want to be king, then... why did you make this choice in the first place?"

"Two reasons, the first is because... I found out that I am not an ordinary person." Ashuruffat said. "I... just like those story books, I should have encountered a miracle. I was endowed... even I don't understand it, it's unimaginable powerful. I don't know the source of these powers , so I can only ask myself like a mortal, 'Why are you so different?'. And the answer, based on the results of my current thinking, seems to be only those in the story books. Human beings are empowered by the gods , not for nothing, but to accomplish a great mission and do a great feat. As I said, because I only have such an answer at present, I can only move forward along the route of this answer. That's it Simple."

"Is that so..." Skadra sighed. "Whether you intend it or not, things seem to be out of control. As long as it is related to you, Her Majesty seems to have lost her composure. If this fetter continues to deepen...you may not be able to get out even if you want to."

"She is a gentle girl." Ashuruffat felt a little insincere when he said this.Because he knew that little girl was actually quite willful—well, at least she was quite willful.However, I don't know when she became quite obedient.Hmm, it's better for girls to be more obedient.

"Jealousy can make any woman grow fangs and claws," said Scadella. "Remember this. Love is blind, selfish, and capable of shielding even the wisest mind. And, you just said one reason, what's the other reason?"

"Is there another reason... Probably because our Majesty the Queen is very cute, and she is much more pleasing to the eye than Byron."
