238 What Are You Thinking About? (1/2)
After the livestream, the postman was delighted at the tens of thousands of yuan that he just received in tips.
He then turned off the livestream channel.
The players who had watched the livestream and those who watched the recording at three times the speed continued their discussion on the forum.
The players were all from modern societies that were based on law, but they all had learned history and held a slight reverence for the crown.
Apart from everything else, the royal family was a rather powerful force, which was a fact that everybody acknowledged.
So, the players had intense discussions on the forum about that.
”Would what F6 did further foment the nobles' dissatisfaction with the players? The non-spellcasters are being despised as it is, but after this incident, wouldn't the melee classes be even more biased against us?”
”Does the degree of prejudice really matter?”
”I, for one, think that it's an opportunity for us to make the nobles treat the players fairly.”
”We believe in reform. Let's reform this corrupt and underdeveloped alternate world with this opportunity. I believe that our friends from F6 thought the same, or they wouldn't have attacked a prince.”
”You're missing the key here. How could you have neglected the queen? She can transform other people into Great Swordsmen! Does anyone want to win her favor together with me?”
”In your dreams! She can only see Roland in her eyes. She eloped with him abandoning her title as the queen.”
”You can get any woman if you're skilled enough… Hehe, Roland is not as handsome as Schuck. I think I have a chance.”
”Let's hope that you've still alive after you try.”
The discussion went off-topic again from here as the players turned to sexual subjects.
Most players believed that what F6 did would change the storyline of the game, but they did not know how great the impact would be.
How great could the impact possibly be?
Hollevin was only a small kingdom. Even if all the nobles in Hollevin rejected the players, so what?
The hardship would be over soon. Besides, the players did not believe that all the nobles were on the same boat.
Wherever there were humans, there was betrayal, and this world was not an exception.
Also, the more powerful a man was, the more likely he would be involved in conflicts of interest.
In the royal palace, the white-haired king was sitting on his bed.
In front of him was a man in a black robe who was on his knee.
He was a loyal assassin that the royal family had raised. He was also responsible for intelligence collection.
”What exactly happened last night?” The king's eyes were clouded, and he did not look very healthy, but he was nonetheless intimidating as a king. ”I seemed to have heard dragon roars.”
It was still dawn, and the king had been rather drowsy after just waking up, but his eyes bulged when he heard that. ”What happened?”
The man in the black robe told the king everything he knew.
The king was curious at first, but he calmed down as he listened on.
”The second prince tried to get his stepmother?” The king sneered. ”Then he might as well die, though it's a shame that three hundred royal guards were killed with him.”
As Andonara said, the king had six legitimate sons, and counting the bastards, there were at least thirteen heirs to the royal bloodline.
It was not really a big deal that the second prince had died.
The man in black lowered his head. He would rather not take part in or listen to the clandestine issues of the royal family, as it was too dangerous.
The king stood up and patted his fat belly, before he asked, ”What about that dragon?”
”If our intelligence is correct, it should have been ridden by Schuck, a famous dragon knight in the Church of Light.”
The king was surprised. ”A dragon knight? There hasn't been one for hundreds of years, no?”
”That's right.” The man nodded. ”So, the Church of Light has been telling everybody the news, which spread to Hollevin a couple of days ago.”
