Chapter 696: The King’S Thanks
After attending the funeral in Old Salisbury.
As the biggest contributor to the "Blood Feast Rebellion", Rennes was summoned by King August.
Rennes received a summons from King Augustus.
He took his son Ares to the royal manor outside the royal capital of Paris.
Due to the "Blood Feast Rebellion", there was a great battle between Rennes and the Bone Lord.
The entire palace was severely damaged, so King Augustus.
He could only temporarily move to this manor with a group of royal family members.
Rennes was received by King August in the study of the castle in the center of the manor.
Seeing Rennes come in, King August, who was sitting on the throne, stood up holding the handle of the chair.
"Master Rennes, welcome to your presence, please allow me to introduce you.
This is the Prime Minister, Orlando Julius, my right-hand man. "
King Augustus smiled and introduced Rennes to Orlando, who stood up to greet him.
Looking at the Prime Minister known as the "Hand of the King", Rennes nodded and smiled.
"Hello, Prime Minister of Orlando, I have heard the name Hand of the King for a long time.
After hearing Rennes' words, Orlando did not look very arrogant.
Instead, he smiled at Rennes with a smile on his face, showing that he was very honored.
"Lord Rennes, you are too kind.
Compared with you, who is the most powerful person in the principality, these are just empty names. "
Orlando's neither humble nor overbearing attitude made Rennes feel a little fond of the Prime Minister when he met him for the first time.
Seeing Rennes and Orlando getting to know each other, King August said with a smile.
"Lord Rennes, let's sit down first and then talk?"
Hearing King August's words, Rennes did not refuse and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, Your Majesty the King, let's sit down first and then talk."
Rennes said, and glanced at his son Ares, who came with him.
Ares, who received the signal from Rennes, very wisely performed a knightly courtesy to King August and Orlando.
Then he turned around and exited the study, closing the door.
Suddenly, only King August, Rennes and Orlando were left in the study.
After the three of them sat down, August, the king, spoke first.
"Lord Rennes, the reason why you attended old Nat's funeral just after you woke up.
I called you here in a hurry. Please forgive me for being rude. "
When King August opened his mouth, he first apologized for being in such a hurry to find Rennes.
Facing King August's apology, Rennes smiled lightly and waved his hand indifferently.
"Your Majesty the King has no need to apologize, I'm just curious.
The Blood Feast Rebellion had just ended, and President Tu had just passed away.
At this critical moment, why are you so anxious to call me here?"
Seeing that Rennes did not blame himself and others for their actions.
Orlando on the side glanced at King August.
After getting the look from King August, Orlando then opened his mouth and took over the conversation.
"That's right, Lord Rennes.
Although the Blood Feast Rebellion has just ended, the situation within the company is very unclear.
But after all, you are the Duke of the Principality and the strongest person in the Principality.
Your contribution in the Blood Feast Rebellion is obvious to all of us.
Therefore, His Majesty the King and I both believe that you must be given the reward you deserve in time!"
Although Orlando's words were very high-sounding.
But Rennes had already heard the deeper meaning of Orlando's words.
And why King August was so eager to find him.
To put it nicely, it was to reward him for his contribution in the Blood Feast Rebellion.
But in fact, this was obviously in the name of rewarding him.
Deter those who have ulterior motives secretly, and let them remember that there is a magician like Rennes in the Principality of Tyran!
And Rennes, the powerful magister, still sides with King August!
But no matter what, for Rennes who ended the Blood Feast Rebellion.
King August will not be stingy with rewards, and will definitely be generous in his actions.
So Rennes was not stupid enough to take the initiative to expose King August's true intentions.
"His Majesty the King is too polite, since I am the Duke of the Principality of Tailan.
As the honorary president of the Royal Magician Association, he is naturally obliged to maintain the security of the Principality of Tailan.
Rennes was very clever and used the identity given to him by Old Salisbury to speak.
This also gave King August and Orlando a dose of reassurance.
Because everyone knows that the recently deceased old Salisbury and King August were old friends for many years.
As the honorary president of the Royal Association of Magicians, Rennes will naturally only side with King August.
As Rennes finished speaking, King August suddenly said with a smile.
"Master Rennes, what are you saying? Although you have obligations and responsibilities.
But as a king, I must also show something, and I can’t let the heroes feel cold, right?”
Having said this, King August smiled and noticed the change in Rennes' expression.
After seeing that Rennes didn't have any disgust on his face, King August continued.
"So Lord Rennes, please accept my reward as the king.
As the benefactor of the Tailan family and the entire Tailan Principality, you are qualified to accept this reward. "
Seeing that King Augustus had spoken about this, Rennes could no longer remain indifferent.
"In that case, I would like to thank His Majesty the King for his grace.
But I am a little curious, how will His Majesty the King reward me?
If it's territory again, then I have to refuse.
After all, my current territory is enough to give me a headache. "
Rennes had a rare joke with King August.
The originally dull atmosphere between the three people was instantly enlivened.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, Lord Rennes, I'm not that stingy.
Orlando, read out the reward for Lord Rennes!"
King August laughed loudly and ordered Orlando on the side.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King."
"Then, I will read out your reward to Lord Rennes on behalf of His Majesty the King.
Orlando stood up with a smile and his expression became serious.
He took out the decree that King August had drafted long ago from his arms and read it loudly.
"In order to express his gratitude to Duke Rennes for defeating the undead creatures during the Blood Feast Rebellion and crushing the rebellion of the traitor Gabrielleth.
I, August Tailan, in the name of the King of Tailan Principality, offer a small mithril mine.
And decided to marry my daughter, Princess Angela Tyran, to Duke Rennes as a token of my gratitude!"
