The King’s last sentence was like roaring thunder to Rody Before his words sank in, the King had already fixed his gaze at Rody
”Hahaha…” Rody suddenly laughed He did not show a shocked expression With a calm demeanor, he slowly spoke, ”Your Majesty must have mistaken my identity I am a Commander of the Empire’s Imperial Guards, an Earl of the Ehed and softly said, ”Duke, why are you still hiding the truth? I have already seen through your identity”
Rody smiled, ”Your Majesty must have mistaken His Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family is well known in the Imperial Capital of the Radiant Empire Many people have seen his appearance How could youit ihts He then slowly said, ”Although I am not in a harmonious relationshi+p with the Temple, I still receive soan to reject her engage when she returned frodom There was news fro to do with the Duke of the Tulip Family Hundreds of thousands of people also witnessed Paladin Fielding challenge the Duke of the Tulip Fah of a proof?

This is too…”
The King laughed loudly His laughter interrupted Rody’s words ”Hahaha…Although based on that I would have soht However, I received two pieces of news last night These two pieces of information madeHe was shocked, but he continued to pretend to look cal to continue
”Earl Rody, I have heard of your battle last night at the Crown Prince’s palace! Others th, but I certainly do! As Leho was originally a Royal Knight, I have a clear understanding of his strength! You can easily defeat Leho and your last move of condensed aura has clearly reached the level of a Sacred Swordsh I am from the distant Roland Continent, due to the previous relationshi+p between our countries, I auished country! A Sacred Swordsman is extremely rare in the Radiant Empire! However, I have never heard of your nah you are a master”
Rody still shook his head and replied, ”This is merely hearsay The Radiant E as her’s expression reed as he coldly added, ”Coincidentally, I received a secret letter froht It is said that the Duke of the Tulip Fa his injuries and has not appeared in public for a very long time! Earl Rody, is this also a coincidence?”
Rody could not help but frown secretly He was not actually worried about it However, the King had obtained this secret info from the Empire extremely quick Because Nicole was still in the Eh, the King s was, the report said that Miss Nicole was still in the country At the moment, she is at the fief of the Tulip Fahter of the Tulip Family is still in the Eht here? The ht here and the eldest daughter of the Tulip Fahed When he saw that Rody still did not say anything, he deliberately laughed and continued, ”Since there are two ‘Miss Nicole’ at the sauise as Earl Rody and secretly bring your sister to the Roland Continent to investigateWouldn’t thatseeht your sister out to attract the attention of others while you disguise as an Earl Duke of the Tulip Family, your trick is truly brilliant! Unfortunately, you did not expect radually becauished country is powerful and has always been the thorn in the eyes of the Sauron Kingdom! How can I not pay close attention to the movements of your country? News from the Empire can be sent across the Straits of Thunder to les!”
After that, the King finally stopped speaking He looked at Rody quietly and expectantly
Rody took a deep breath and then slowly spat out Rody suddenly burst into laughter when he looked at the expression in the King’s eyes His long laughter filled every corner of the hall as he shook his head helplessly
”Wonderful! Truly wonderful!” Rody’s laughter slowly stopped ”Your Majesty, I have no choice but to admit that I ad to what you said, even I cannot help but think I am the Duke of the Tulip Family Unfortunately…” Rody pointed at his own nose and shook his head ”I a coldly looked at Rody and asked, ”Duke, you still refuse to adh and said, ”The Duke of the Tulip Family is world-famous and has the attention of many! To tell you the truth, I, too, hope that I aave a ridiculous smile and added, ”Your Majesty, I advise you to severely punish your spies in our country!”
”Oh, why?”
Rody pretended a sigh and said, ”Although what he reported to you about His Highness the Duke of the Tulip recuperating behind closed door is true, he see!”
Rody slowly added when he saw the King’s puzzled face ”Of course, your spies cannot be bla your orders They only focused on inificant people like me However, if you were to order them to make inquiries, you will receive the news that would clear away your doubts!”
Rody pointed to himself and then said, ”I, the Commander of the Imperial Guards and an Earl, ah not ation, the inforhed happily ”If I was the Duke of the Tulip Fa finally looked serious and he frowned ”The fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Tulip Family? This…I really did not receive this infor suddenly looked at Rody coldly ”Then how do you explain there being two Miss Nicole?”
Rody lightly said, ”Your Majesty, thisto do with you, but I have no choice but to tell you to dispel the doubts in your heart Miss Nicole co here with me is a secret! In fact, it is not appropriate for her to come to the Roland Continent with her identity After all, both sides have just experienced a war against each other The noble Miss Nicole could not have come over here His Majesty the Emperor has also rejected her request, but she insisted on co with me The Duke of the Tulip Fae In other words, even the Duke cannot object to her words That is e had to find a substitute to deceive the public and avoid being punished by the Eht about Rody’s words
In the King’s heart, Rody’s explanation see rong
Rody then bowed and said, ”Your Majesty, the situation now is pressing Your Majesty took pains to tracethe iht for a moment He then squinted to look at Rody and whispered, ”I still believe that I a!” He then shook his head and smiled, ”It doesn’t et to the botto still insisted on his speculation According to his observation, the ‘Earl Rody’ has extraordinary bearing and was like a senior general This kind of talented person could not be an unknown person in the E’s heart
On top of that, even if Rody was the Duke of the Tulip Fauise he had painstakingly tried to hide
There are things that would be better kept in the heart and not ht of this and loudly said, ”The Earl’s words are rational” He paused for a htly said, ”Since the Earl seems to have some difficulties, let us continue our talk from earlier This dwarf race’s cake…”
Rody forced a smile when he heard the word ‘difficulties’ He understood that King Sauron was still suspicious of him As a result, a feords would be i being willing to skip this topic, Rody could not have asked for ht Let us put aside the earlier conversation I only need to ask you one question!” The King was really a veteran in politics His expression changed quickly and his cal to helpasked and then pointed his scepter onto the ground, pressing it on top of the dwarf kingdoive an answer He carefully looked at the King for aup the situation, then asked, ”Your Majesty, do you think I should help you?” He stared fixedly at the King’s face The Sauron Kingdo this piece of cake But it would be ently smiled His s, the Eotiations is also not a noble one The Empire simply does not want the Te than a Roland E ht each other”
Rody looked at the King’s sharp gaze and unyieldingly said, ”So what?” He then sneered and added, ”I recently learned so There are no permanent friends or perht now, our peace negotiation is just so both sides require We just need to accotone ”If we follow Your Majesty’s argument, it is also not noble to have secretly funded the Great Moon Kingdo suddenly laughed and shouted, ”Well said! There are no per to help athered his thoughts and said, ”The peace negotiation has already concluded The confrontation with the Tedom does not only have control over most of the ironwood After hundreds of years, they have accureat help in our next confrontation with the Tefully ”A person who has fought many battles like you would understand that war consu continued as he loudly said, ”I do not kno that old fellow, Proons have never involved themselves in the affairs of the Roland Continent before this but now, they are willing to help the Teer the enereater the threat ill face When the Sauron Kingdodoms would not have any choice but to obey ainst the Temple’s annexation!
