Chapter 81: civil unrest
Evan looked at Duke Wilson and couldn't react for a while.
What the **** does this mean? Evan is a little confused. If he understands correctly, Duke Wilson means that the king will die tonight, and there is only one reason for a person's death to be known in advance, that is, such a death was planned long ago.
Duke Wilson wants the king to die!
Evan's mind came to this idea.
But before Evan had time to say anything, there was a commotion in the ball, and the attention of Evan and Duke Wilson were attracted and looked in the direction of the commotion.
When he saw Lord Oram standing in the middle, he ran towards him.
"Lord... Lord." He looked like he had just jumped out of the carriage, and his breath was still a little uneven.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty the King has passed away!"
In other words, Lord Oram, who had the highest status at this time, was their backbone, and no matter who was present, they all looked in the direction of Lord Oram.
Lord Oram frowned slightly and whispered: "Where did you get the news? Where are the people from Buckingham Palace?"
This person is obviously an official. Logically speaking, something like the death of the king should be communicated by someone from Buckingham Palace, but now a civil official has come to pass the word, which is obviously wrong.
" Buckingham Palace..." He looked slightly trembling: "The people at Buckingham Palace are all under the control of the Duke of Rand, and no one can come out."
"Then how did you know?" Duke Wilson suddenly came out and asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
The person saw that Duke Wilson was there, and his heart suddenly became a lot more at ease. Everyone in the UK knew that the Duke of Willzon and the Duke of Rand were definitely at odds, and the Duke of Wilson's hands The military is also enough to change the political situation.
"I have a good friend who is working as a clerk at Buckingham Palace, and he told me." This civil servant was a nail that Lord Oram put into the government, and he did not disappoint at this time. effect.
These words made everyone present believe a little bit, and everyone suddenly panicked. In such a chaotic and complicated political situation, when the king was there, everyone didn't feel it, only felt If the king was dead, everything would be fine, but when the king actually left, these people couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed.
"Calm me all!" Lord Oram raised a rare face, and the surrounding noise suddenly subsided.
After disposing of this, Lord Oram looked at the terrified nobles around him.
"Ladies go up and rest first." Although Lord Oram's tone was gentle, there was little room for negotiation in what he said.
This matter is really not suitable for these nervous ladies to talk to, and Evan looked at several of the ladies and even fainted.
The slightly fragile one was also sweating profusely and kept wiping the sweat off with a handkerchief.
Because although some of these people are not very noble, but they also know the situation in London at this time, Lord Oram is definitely a supporter of Prince George, according to the civil servant just now , Now it is obvious that the Duke of Rand has the upper hand, and they are now tied to the chariot by Lord Oram, which is simply life-threatening for some people who do not have a firm stand.
"Gentlemen." After all these gentlemen with different minds were in the small banquet hall, Lord Oram finally said: "Now there is an emergency, I think you all know it Belly."
Except for a few people who had a close relationship with Lord Oram who looked calm, the expressions of the rest of the people were a little unpredictable.
Lord Oram had a panoramic view of the expressions of these people, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, but his face was still gentle, and there was a trace of worry in his expression.
sincere.
Such nice words really have no effect on these old foxes, but since the words are spoken, these people have to react. Where.
"Lord, you are too modest, we all listen to you." One of Lord Oram's confidants suddenly said.
This sentence made the faces of the people around them all look different, which completely pierced that layer of window paper, and they had almost no way out.
Because although the Duke of Rand has the upper hand at this time, but they are in the hands of Lord Oram, at this time, if you don't want to be attached, you can't.
No matter what their faces are, under such a sentence, they can only agree.
Lord Oram slightly hooked the corner of his mouth. Although these people are useless, but if they can tie one more, they can always boost their morale, so that everyone can see, Duke Rand is now The stance of the critics.
Since these people have been settled, Lord Oram does not bother to talk nonsense with these people, and asked the butler to bring a few people who are not his confidants, and the remaining confidants continue to discuss plans .
During this process, Duke Wilson stood by Evan all the time without saying a word, but although he did not say a word, his silence now shows his attitude , The reason why the people present agreed so easily, I have to say that Duke Wilson's attitude also accounted for a big factor, because after all, these people all know that Duke Wilson is someone who has soldiers in his hands.
After those people left, the expression on Lord Oram's face changed, he smiled and invited everyone to sit down, and even let Duke Wilson sit on his upper hand, and then said: "King Since His Majesty has passed away, our affairs should also be arranged."
The people below looked at Lord Oram with high spirits. These people are all people who support Prince George, and they have a close relationship with Lord Oram. Naturally, they are all heartbroken about the inside story of this incident. They know it well, so they are more confident than those who are uneasy.
"Prince George will be back in London tomorrow afternoon. During this time, the Duke will be asked to stabilize the political situation in London." Lord Oram looked at Duke Wilson with a smile.
Duke Wilson nodded coldly and didn't say much. Evan stood aside, but he was a little surprised. Isn't Prince George in Wales? Even by train, I'm afraid it won't take such a short time to get back to London from Wales.
There is definitely something wrong here, Evan's expression flashes.
The next few people talked about the ending of this matter. Most of them were talking about how to deal with the palace guards of the Duke of Rand. Lord Mu's castle, Lord Oram is not a nobleman who is drunk and dreaming, this castle, I am afraid that the moment they come in, there are already guards stationed, and there is no problem in holding it for a while.
After the conversation, Evan and Duke Wilson returned to the guest room together. Because there were too many people, the two of them were assigned to a room, which made Evan feel a little embarrassed, Duke Wilson looked It didn't feel very comfortable either.
Evan looked at Lord Oram, who had a slightly subtle expression, and knew that it was definitely intentional at this time. No matter how many guests, he would not let a duke live with others.
After the two returned to the room, there was an awkward silence, but finally Duke Wilson opened the topic first.
"Are you frightened today?" He looked at Evan slightly worried.
Evan smirked in his heart, he was startled, but he was not scared.
"This incident is indeed a bit sudden." Evan smiled reservedly.
Duke Wilson sneered: "If it wasn't for Duke Rand's pressing step by step, I'm afraid it wouldn't have reached this point."
Evan frowned slightly, he is a religious person after all, the Duke talks about these shocking things in front of him, he really doesn't know how to react.
"You..." He looked at Duke Wilson with an embarrassed expression.
Duke Wilson looked at him with a very tender expression: "I know you can't accept it, but Richard is too ridiculous, George is a good boy, if he doesn't die, then he will There are many innocent people who died in vain, although I have done such a terrible thing, but I do not regret it, even if my soul falls into the boundless hell, I am willing."
Evan looked at the expression of Duke Wilson at this time, and his heart was really puzzled. In the original book, the later Duke Wilson was described as a paranoid, but looking at him at this time, he But it felt a little different.
"You..." He was silent for a moment: "You will not fall into hell, I will pray for you."
Evan's words seemed to be a stimulant, and suddenly made Duke Wilson in high spirits, he walked to Evan's side, suddenly took his hand, and said excitedly: Do you really think so?"
Evan wanted to withdraw his hand, but was pulled by Duke Wilson. He couldn't help but look into the Duke's eyes, but found that his eyes were unusually firm, with a hint of loosening. None, this look made Evan frown.
"The Duke." His tone was still very calm: "Please let go of my hand."
He looked straight into Duke Wilson's eyes, and there was no room for negotiation.
This person is so aggressive, but he must not allow him to regard himself as his subordinate, and he will never make any regression on this issue.
