King’s Kingdom - Chapter 240
“The King’s Kingdom (
Listening to Theodosius’ perfunctory words, Critidos only felt full of grievances, and she burst into tears.
“Ah? You…you!” Theodosius was shocked when he saw this.
From his marriage to the present, it was the first time that he saw his wife, who was a powerful force, shed tears.
For a while, he didn’t know what to do, so he hurriedly poured a glass of water, walked over to the bed and sat down.
“You…you drink water…” Theodosius handed over the glass and said dryly.
Up to now, his head is still dazed, and Critidos tears made him not know what to do.
In his heart, his wife is a person as strong as a man, and even in many cases he treats Critidos with an equal attitude, not the condescending attitude that the king treats the queen and the husband treats his wife.
This was the first time for him to see such a feminine side of Critidos. At most, it meant a bit of a woman before, but it was different from an ordinary woman. This time, it was really without any man. breath.
Critidos didn’t take the water glass that Theodosius handed over, she tightly pursed her lips, suppressed her voice, and tried her best not to cry or sob.
However, as she breathed, her muscle spasms could not be stopped, and she choked a few times after all.
“Oh, don’t cry…” Theodosius leaned closer again, trying his best to comfort her.
But his appeasement obviously didn’t work, and there were tears in Kritidos’ big eyes, like broken pearls.
She lowered her head, as if she didn’t want Theodosius to see her weak appearance. The bangs on her forehead drooped down, setting her off like a weeping willow in the wind.
Theodosius took a deep breath and let it out softly. He leaned over and gently embraced his wife’s shoulders.
Just as she was about to put her in her arms, Kritidos covered her face with her hands, as if holding her breath.
After about half a minute, Kritidos spoke with a heavy nasal voice, only to see that she still lowered her head and said hoarsely: “Sorry…I shouldn’t be like this…I just…”
Theodosius leaned forward, trying to see his wife’s face.
It’s a pity that Kritidos, who lowered his head, protected himself very well, and from his angle, he could only see the bitten lower lip.
“Don’t apologize…” Theodosius was also a little depressed, looking at her very sad.
Speaking of which, he was only cruel and ruthless to outsiders, and he always cared very much about his own people, especially those he cared about.
As his wife, Kritidos is undoubtedly the closest person.
For a time, his heart was really full of guilt, and at the same time he felt some remorse for his actions.
Just as he was about to hug his wife, he saw Critidos lying down again, but with his back to Theodosius, he said in a heavy nasal voice, “Go to sleep, I’m fine!”
“I was hypocritical just now, alas…”
From the tone of her voice, she could tell that she was sincere, without any sense of yin and yang.
After all, Theodosius was a king who could legally have five wives, and it was normal that she was not the only one.
“Don’t do this…” Theodosius hugged her from behind.
“Trust me, no matter what, you will always be the most important one, and I will always open my heart to you!”
Critidos didn’t respond, just when Theodosius was trying to find other ways to ease her emotions, a message was received in his mind.
“Body and soul belong.”
“The only companion of soul and body.”
“Queen Critidos, be your soulmate.”
After receiving this message, Theodosius finally felt relieved, closed his eyes and said, “I will not forget what I said today!”
The next morning was, of course, early for the ruling class.
In fact, it was half past ten when Theodosius woke up from his sleep.
He had already dressed and looked at his wife, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, with a subconscious smile.
He leaned in front of Critidos, and he could still see that her eyes were slightly swollen.
Putting his mouth to Kritidos’ ear, he shouted suddenly, “Get up!”
“I found out that you really don’t know what’s wrong…” Critidos rubbed her wrists and put on a set of heroic uniforms.
As for Theodosius, he kept rubbing his head and said angrily, “You’re trying too hard!”
“I also said that you shouted too loudly, and my ears are still ringing!” Kritidos gave her husband a vicious look.
“Let’s go, I’m ready!” Critidos, looking valiantly, walked to the door and said to Theodosius.
Today is a better day to negotiate with Mutariyaan. He came to help the elves fight, and it is only natural to ask for some revenge.
At the beginning, they reached an alliance with the Lanyin Kingdom that was completely unequal in strength through diplomatic means. When the Lanyin Kingdom needed help, it was difficult for them to help. Basically, only the Lanyin Kingdom helped. their portion.
Does such a covenant mean anything to Theodosius besides being able to block a monster? So claiming benefits is a must.
Going out of the room, the military chiefs of the Rhine Kingdom were all waiting at the door of Theodosius’s palace. There were ten generals of the military region. They were waiting to go with their king to discuss the remuneration with the elves. When they saw the king come out, they hurried. Greetings and greetings.
After walking with these military generals and guards for a while, they finally arrived at the agreed negotiating place.
Mutaliaan and Queen Musi were already sitting in this small meeting room with some elf ministers.
They all sat on one side of the long table, and the other side of the table was full of vacancies, which were prepared for the side of the Lanyin Kingdom.
Theodosius and Critidos took the lead in taking the seat, and the rest of the generals of the military district also found their seats and sat down.
“I won’t say more gossip!” Theodosius said straight to the point: “I don’t know what price the elves are willing to pay for this war? If it is appropriate, there is no need to talk about it any more. Go right back!”
Mutariyaan smiled and said, “King Lan Yin really has a straight heart!”
As he said that, he winked at an elf minister, who immediately stood up from the chair, bowed down and handed over a piece of paper with both hands.
Theodosius found the papyrus and began to browse the contents.
At first, his expression didn’t change, but as time passed, his face became gloomy.
“Your Majesty the Elf King, is this a reward for helping you fight, or is it a humiliation to me and our Lanyin Kingdom?” He suddenly arranged the papyrus on the table, staring sharply at Mutariyaan.
