The Golden Throne Chapter 186: His Highness?

Chapter 186: His Highness?

“What do you an I will see soon? You just spoke casually to a general and he did not say anything. Do you know the implications of that?”, Yang Chen said.

“Let us just go. I need to get to the front of the army as fast as I can.”, Liu Feng shook his head as he ran towards the front. He passed the dwarves and soon reached the elves. The green was a stark contrast from the darker colors worn by Aegon and Darv.

The elves took one glance at him, and let him pass. They did not seem to care that he was just a recruit. Liu Feng nodded, and continued to run forwards. He was slowly pushed to the side, so that the rest of the army would not be disturbed by him. He was on the side of the road, running towards the front.

He was stopped one final ti by an Aegonian soldier.

“You are just a recruit. What are you doing here?”, the soldier asked.

“Sir, we are here on the orders of the king. We need to deliver the royal decree to the General. Please let us pass. This is of utmost urgency.”, Liu Feng said.

“Royal decree?”, the soldier turned serious imdiately. “Show the decree.”

Liu Feng held up the royal decree in his hands, for the soldier to see. The soldier bowed to Liu Feng, or rather, the royal decree imdiately.

“Please pass.”, he said respectfully.

Liu Feng nodded at him, and ran to the front of the army. It was clear that Aegon had the biggest army. While Liu Feng could go past the Elvan and Darv armies in minutes, it took a full twenty minutes to pass the Aegon army. He finally could see the city lord’s mansion, and what was happening.

Liu Feng looked at who was at the helm. General George was talking to a person clad in green about sothing. Liu Feng approached the General, but he was stopped by an officer.

“You. You are just a recruit. What are you doing here? The both of you. You are just recruits. Who let you in?”, the officer asked him.

“Sir, we are here to et with the general. We are here on the orders of the king himself.”, Liu Feng held up the royal decree. The officer’s face changed. He reached out to take the decree, but Liu Feng took it back.

“I was instructed that no one else could handle it.”, Liu Feng said.

“Do you expect to believe that? You are just a recruit. No king will trust soone like you over an officer like . Give it to , so that I will personally hand it over to the general. If you say anymore, then I will make sure the both of you will be hanged for imperial offense.”, the officer said.

Liu Feng chuckled.

“Is this funny to you? That officer obviously wants credit for this decree. If he finds out that this is actually a forgery, then we are screwed. He will definitely hang us.”, Yang Chen whispered in Liu Feng’s ears.

“What are you two whispering about?”, the officer asked sharply.

“We were just wondering, what is the esteed officer’s na?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Why would you have any need to know my na?”, the officer replied.

“It is just that, well, we were curious that is all. Who would not want to know the na of the esteed officer who will give a ga changing royal decree to the hands of the general.”, Liu Feng said mockingly.

The officer did not seem to hear the mocking tone. He replied haughtily, “My na is Yeller. I am a Marquis’ son. I am a true hero, aren’t I?”

“You truly are.”, Liu Feng said as he handed the decree to the officer and stood by the side.

“What are you doing? He will make sure that you die if sothing wrong is written on that? Why did you even want to co here in the first place?”, Yang Chen bantered.

“I need to talk to General George. So, I had to have so excuse. Don’t worry though. The royal decree is not a fake, and this Yeller is up for a real surprise.”, Liu Feng smiled.

Near the General,

“What is happening over here? Where is the boy? Get the boy!”, George yelled frantically.

“Sir. I have co to you with very important news. The king himself has entrusted with a very important royal decree. Please receive it.”, Yeller said as he put the parchnt forward.

George looked surprised. He wasn’t expecting any ssages from Liu Man, and certainly, if they were that important, then the king would have used a magic communication stone.

He took the parchnt and unrolled it. Yeller looked eagerly, like a dog waiting for his master’s appraisal. George’s face changed, but it only grew more confused. He started looking around, and suddenly spotted Liu Feng. Their eyes t.

Liu Feng quickly put his index finger on his lips. He nodded towards the general. The general nodded back.

“Where did you get this decree?”, George asked Yeller.

“I got it from the king himself. I was a very trusted-“, Yeller said when George interrupted him.

“This decree is a fake. You know how serious this is?”

“It is a fake? I wasn’t the one who brought it. Those two recruits were. I was just relieving them of their duty.”, Yeller hastily said.

“You took it from them? What an idiot. You are in deep trouble this ti, and even your father can’t save you now.”, George shook his head.

“Sir, what are you talking about?”, Yeller looked confused.

“It ans that you just offended one of the most important people in the country you are so proud of being a noble of.”, he sighed.

“But Sir, they were the ones who forged the decree. Not !”, Yeller cried out.

“Looks like this fool doesn’t understand what he did wrong still. General, why don’t you let him understand?”, Liu Feng’s voice rang out from behind Yeller. He approached the both of them with his hands at the back.

“You. You are the reason why I might be in trouble. How dare you give a forged decree? You will be killed, and you as well, the one behind this one. You dare to cheat ?”, Yeller raged.

Liu Feng smiled, but Yang Chen was not so calm. He did not know what was happening, and just stood silently.

“You still didn’t understand. The general is right here, and he knows that I am the one who gave you the decree. Yet why is it that his anger is directed towards you? Why don’t you ask the general to read out the decree?”, Liu Feng said.

Yeller looked at the general with pleading eyes. The general scoffed. He threw the decree towards him and said, “Read it yourself.”.

“The crown gifts the land of Dilheim to the crown prince of Aegon as a birthday gift, and declares it a tax-free zone.”, Yeller read with a trembling voice.

“General. It has been a few weeks since I last saw you. I trust that the conquest is going well?”, Liu Feng looked at George.

“Your Highness.”, George bowed. “The conquest is going as planned, but we have just hit a minor problem. More importantly, does His Majesty the king know that you are here? His Majesty has been looking forward for your arrival for quite so ti now.”

“All in due ti, all in due ti. We will finish off the siege first, and then we will inform the kings about my arrival. My priorities are quite different from yours.”, Liu Feng said as he walked forward and passed Yeller.

“Your Highness? Don’t tell ! Sherlock! You are actually the prince in disguise?!”, Yang Chen shouted with shock.

“Who is this man, Your Highness? And who is this Sherlock?”, George looked at Liu Feng.

“This is a person who has helped along the way. He was helping out quite a bit. Make sure that he is not punished for the few rules that he broke with .”, Liu Feng winked at George. Then, he looked at Yeller.

The playful attitude disappeared in an instant, and Liu Feng looked at Yeller coldly.

“You wanted credit for what I did, and you snatched the decree away from . What would I have done if I wasn’t a prince? What would I have done if I actually was a recruit? Looks like the nobles of Aegon need a big lesson to learn. Why don’t you be the start? Disrespecting the royal family, going against the royal decree, and attempting to kill a recruit of the royal army? All capital punishnts. General, what is the punishnt for a normal soldier who had committed these cris?”, Liu Feng looked at George.

“Your Highness, it is death. But this man is no normal soldier. He is an officer, and his father is a close confidant of His Majesty, the king. It is not advisable to-“

Liu Feng interrupted him. “Then the punishnt is death. I am too tired to deal with every idiot who will hamper the war. Let us just get rid of them.”
