Chapter 168 Chapter 168 Nobody Will Believe You

I turned to face him. "What are you talking about?" I asked in a low voice.My heart was beating wildly, and I wished he would let me kill him, but I was also horrified by my own desperate desire. He paled without flinching, reminding me of a bravado kid. "You walk around like a king, not only look down on me, but also mock me behind my back, don't think I don't know!" He stood up while leaning on the wall, but he still couldn't stand firmly. "But you're not that great. You've only passed once and you call yourself a master, but your pass is as bad as your dog trick! Don't think you can keep your head high. One day you'll get knocked down, and Soon!"

The wolf in me clamored for immediate revenge, but I refrained from losing my temper. "Zegu, do you dare to eavesdrop on me and Prince Verity's technical transmission? I don't think you have the courage." "You know I dare, little bastard. I'm not afraid of you at all, so I don't have to dodge you. I just dare, little bastard! More dare than you think." The way he stood showed that he was getting bolder. "I guess if it's disloyalty and treason, you wouldn't dare. Oh, you sworn Skill Team member, tell me, isn't Prince Verity's death known to the world? You're spying on me Don't you feel surprised to pass on skills with him?"

Zegu stood there, really shocked, and after a while he spoke boldly: "Say what you want, little bastard. If we deny it, no one will believe you." "At least you know not to speak when you should be silent," Duanning said.She walked the corridors like a ship under sail.I didn't give way, forcing her to pass me, and she grabbed Zegu's hand like picking up a dropped basket. "Silence is another form of lying, Duanning." She turned Zegu around, and then led him away. "You know King Verity is alive!" I yelled after them. "Don't you think he won't come back? Do you think you'll never have to explain your lies?"

They turned the corner and disappeared, leaving me alone in a fit of rage while cursing myself for shouting the secret so loudly.However, this incident really forced me to stimulate the inner drive.I left Verity's study and searched for it in the castle. Everyone in the kitchen was busy, and the cook didn't have time to greet me. She just asked me if I had heard of a big snake lying in front of the big fireplace, and I said that the snake must have crawled into the firewood to escape the cold; Bringing in a piece of firewood, indicating that the heat should bring it back to life.The cook just shook her head and said she had never heard that, and said it was a bad omen.She repeated to me the story of the pockmarked man at the well, but this time the pockmarked man drank from the bucket, and when he put it down, the water ran down his blotchy face like blood.She ordered the kitchen boy to fetch water from the washwell for all the meals, for she did not want to see anyone die at her table.

I leave the kitchen with that delightful comment, hands full of the sweet cake that came along.Not long after I left, I saw a servant boy standing in front of me. "Are you Fitz Junqi, Junqi's son?" He called me cautiously. Judging by his broad cheekbones, he might have come from Bearns, and then I found the yellow flower for Bearns in his patched clothes.This was an unusually thin lad for his height.So, I nodded solemnly. "My lord, the Duke of Prondi of Biens wishes you to meet him as soon as possible." He said every word carefully, and I couldn't help suspecting that he was a novice.

"That is now." "So, can I take you to see him?" "I know how to get there. Here are these things for you, I shouldn't have taken them up." I handed the sweet cake to him, and he took it with a suspicious expression. "Should I keep it for you, my lord?" he asked earnestly.It makes me sad that this boy takes his food so seriously. "Maybe you can help me eat it, and if you think it's delicious, you might as well go to the kitchen and tell our cook Sarah how much you appreciate her craftsmanship." No matter how busy the kitchen gets, a compliment from a skinny kid is sure to earn him at least one bowl of stew.

"Yes, my lord!" My command made his face glow, and then he hurried away with half a piece of cake in his mouth. The second class rooms are on the other side of the hall, opposite the king's rooms.I guess because the windows of these rooms face the mountains instead of the sea, they don't get enough light, so they are called inferior rooms.But the smaller rooms are no different in size and style from any deluxe room. I recall a second-class room I visited earlier, which was decently furnished.Bearns' bodyguard let me into the living room, which contained only three chairs and a rickety table in the middle of the room.You Nian greeted me quite formally, and then notified Duke Prondi that I was coming.The brocade tapestries and hangings that once hung on the walls and made the room glow are long gone. The whole room is like a dungeon, only a warm fire is burning.I stood in the middle of the room until Duke Prondi came out of the bedroom to greet me.He asked me to sit down, and we awkwardly pulled up two chairs by the fire.There should have been bread and pastries on the table, as well as tea sets and herbs for making tea, and bottles of good wine for the guests of Buckkeep, but now the table is empty, which makes me feel embarrassed.I can't help but wonder where Jie Min has gone as she loiters behind us like a falcon.

We exchanged little humorous little remarks with each other, and then Prondi cut straight to the point like a horse jumping into the snow. "I understand that King Shrewd is ill, too ill to receive any dukes, and Regal is of course busy preparing for tomorrow." The taunt was as heavy as a thick layer of cream. "So, I wish to see Queen Kettricken," he announced wistfully. "As you know, she gave me generously to get me through. But her ladies kept me out of the room, saying that she was not healthy enough to receive visitors. I heard that she was pregnant, and because she rode to Raben had a miscarriage and is in mourning. Is it true?"

I took a breath and racked my brains for an answer. "The king is very ill as you said, so I think you will only see him at the ceremony. The queen is not well, but I am sure if someone told her that you came to her door in person, she would certainly receive him. Yours. And she didn't have a miscarriage. She rode out to defend Jieyi Bay from the enemy, just as she sent you precious opals to raise funds, because she was afraid that if she didn't act now, no one would help Besides, her trip to Jieyi Bay did not pose a threat to her fetus, but she fell on the stairs of the Beacon Tower a few days ago. Fortunately, the accident was just a false alarm. Although the queen was seriously injured , the fetus was saved, and there was no miscarriage.”

"I understand." He leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment, the silence between us seemed to take root, and the longer I waited, the longer it seemed.Finally, he finally leaned forward and motioned for me to do the same.When our heads were close together, he asked calmly, "Fitzjourney, do you have any ambitions?"
