Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Don't Leave Me

He invited, no, he begged the princess to accompany King Shrewd inland, where she would feel safer and more comfortable, because the Merchant Beach was built as a home, not a fortress, and at the same time And reassure his subjects that the soon-to-be heir and his mother will be well cared for far from the dangerous coast.He promised to do everything in his power to make her feel at ease, and assured her that a happy court would be reorganized there, and that Buckkeep's many furniture and treasures would be brought there with the king, to ease the burden of migration. coming discomfort.Regal smiled and reduced his father to an old fool, and Kettricken to a breeding mare, and dared to pause to hear her accept her fate.

"I cannot go," she said with infinite dignity. "Buckkeep is where Verity left me, and he entrusted me to take care of it before he left, so I will stay here, and my child will be born here." Emperor Zun turned his head away, hiding the smile on his face from her on the surface, but actually let everyone see it more clearly. "Buckkeep will be well defended, my queen. My cousin Sir Mingliang, heir to the title of Farlow, has expressed his interest in organizing an armed defense of Buckkeep, and all the militia will be stationed here, Because we don't need them in Commerce Beach, and I doubt they need help from another pregnant woman who's bound by her skirt and has a big belly."

I was shocked by this burst of laughter.It was a cruel remark, more like a drunken quip in a tavern than a prince would blurt out in his own castle.This reminds me of the worst appearance of the Queen of Desire when she was extremely agitated by taking alcohol and drugs, but the guests at the main table still laughed, and many people sitting below laughed too.Regal's presence and entertainment made him so popular that no matter how much he humiliated and teased the king and queen that night, the sycophants would sit back and accept it, while devouring the food and wine on their tables.Kettricken seemed unable to speak. In fact, she got up to leave, but the king held her back with a trembling hand. "Please stay, my dear." His stammering tone was clearly heard by everyone. "Don't leave me. I want you to stay with me."

"You see, this is the king's wish." Emperor Zun hurriedly reminded her.The king made such a request of her at this time, and I don't think even Regal himself thought it would be good luck for him.Kettricken reluctantly sat back in her seat, her lower lip trembling and her face flushed.I was suddenly terrified that she would cry because of it.A pregnant woman's uncontrollable gaffe would be an ultimate victory for Regal.Taking a deep breath, she turned and spoke to the king in a low but clear voice, and took his hand. "You are the king to whom I swear allegiance. My king, as you wish, I will not leave your side." She bowed her head to salute the king, and Regal also nodded graciously, and then everyone started clamoring to celebrate her promise .Regal had another chatter before the uproar ended, but he had already achieved his goal.He mostly boasted how wise his decisions were, and that Buckkeep would be better able to defend itself without the concerns of the royal family there, and even had the audacity to say that once he, the King and Queen left Buckkeep, it would degrade the Buckkeep. Chances of Deerkeep being targeted by robbers, since they wouldn't do much good if they took it, and this nonsense is just for show.Soon someone took the king away and let him return to his room, because he had completed the task of showing the public.Kettricken accompanied the King in his retirement at the same time, and the whole feast was reduced to a noisy sideshow, with cask after keg of beer and many casks of lesser wine being served.While various outback bards filled the hall with hollow speeches, Regal and his companions chose to entertain themselves with a puppet show, an obscene play called The Temptation of the Innkeeper's Son.I pushed back my plate and looked at Burrich.Our eyes met, and we stood up at the same time.

The Forged appear to be devoid of any emotion.They are not evil, nor do they enjoy the joy of their vices and sins.When they lose their feeling for humans or other creatures in the world, they also lose their ability to be part of society.Even cold, harsh, or insensitive people, who know they cannot always show indifference to others, are still accepted by family and village kinship, but forged people are not even capable of showing indifference to others. nothing.Their emotions are not just paused, but completely forgotten about these feelings, making them unable to predict the behavior of others based on emotional reactions.

Skill users are at the other extreme.These people can extend their minds and know the thoughts and feelings of other people far away, and those with high spiritual abilities can even impose their thoughts and feelings on others.This increased sensitivity to the emotional thoughts of others gives the Skill user abilities that too many of the Forged are entirely lacking. Crown Prince Verity reveals that the Forged seem to be completely immune to his technical abilities, which means he cannot feel their feelings, or perceive their thoughts.However, this does not mean that they cannot feel the Skill.Could it be that Verity's skills brought them to Buckkeep?His opening to the outside world awakened their inner hunger, and perhaps reminded them of what they had lost?Their motive must have been strong as they marched always towards Buckkeep through ice and flood.And when Verity left Buckkeep to carry out his mission, the Forged seemed to slow down to come to Buckkeep.

--Chade Autumnstar We came to King Shrewd's chamber and knocked, and it was the Fool who opened it.I had noticed before coming here that Wallace was also among the drinking and merry crowd downstairs, and remained where he was when the king left. "Let me in," I said quietly, and the Fool stared at me. "No." He said coldly, and tried to close the door. I put my shoulder against the door, and Burrich helped.This was the first and last time I would throw a blow at the Fool, and there was no joy in proving myself stronger than him.The look he gave when I pushed him aside to force his way in was not at all what a man should see on his friend's face.

The King sat before the fire, muttering lifelessly, and the Princess sat lonely beside him, with Rosemary dozing at her feet.Kettricken stood up from her seat and looked at us in surprise. "Fitz Horse Rider?" She asked in a low voice. I quickly walked over to her. "I have a lot to explain, but there is so little time, and what I have to do has to be done tonight." I paused, trying to figure out how best to explain it to her. "Do you remember when you promised yourself to Verity?"
