Chapter 422 The King Wants His Subject to Die
That night.

The lanterns are on.

Staff Officer Orlando received an invitation.

This invitation letter came from no one other than the rightful commander of the Stone City - Lieutenant General Aiden Gary.

As a retainer loyal to the Gary family.

Although Orlando looked down on Aiden, a second-generation rich man, it was difficult for him to refuse. After all, the master invited his subjects to the banquet, and as a subject, there was no reason to refuse. As for the reason why the weasel came to pay New Year's greetings to the chicken, even if there was no need to guess, it must be that Aiden, a second-generation rich man, was short of money or had caused some trouble, waiting for him to solve it.

This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.

He had been ordered, overtly or covertly, to clean up the mess for his master's only relative so many times that he couldn't even count them.

"Some people are born to be kings."

"Some people become bandits."

“This is all destined.”

Walking out of the barracks under the protection of the guards, Orlando felt a sense of emptiness inside.

Don't be fooled by his powerful and glamorous appearance, even though he dares to boss Aiden around, but only he knows that in the eyes of his master Ferre Gary, that rich second-generation man is the one who can be truly trusted, and everyone else is just a pawn.

Ferre Gary could allow him to control Aiden within range.

But beyond this range, not to mention Aiden, the rich second generation, even Ferreira would not let him go.

He knew it was unfair.

It was all thanks to Felix that Aiden was able to climb to this position, and a considerable part of the military merit was contributed by him. Although he commanded the Battle of Stone City this time, Orlando knew that these military merits must have nothing to do with him.

He was powerless to resist.

Because Aiden Gary has the direct blood of the Gary family flowing in his body, while he only has the blood of the Gary family's servants. This blood relationship that has lasted for centuries means that even if he is very talented, he is destined to be unable to replace the family.

Orlando took off his glasses.

He rubbed his sore eyes, looked at the bright magic lamp with blurry vision, then completely buried the emptiness in his heart and walked quickly towards Aiden's mansion.

Hand over the invitation.

Led by his guards, Orlando successfully met Aiden Gary.

"Colonel Orlando, you are here at last."

Aiden waited and waited, and finally Orlando arrived. He changed his usual behavior, showed a friendly and even flattering smile, and went forward to greet him, saying: "I am sorry for inviting you when you are busy with official duties, but the matter is urgent, and I hope you will forgive me for having to do this."

"The general is serious."

Orlando said humbly, "If there is anything I need you to do, please tell me. I will not refuse as long as I can do it. However, if it is against Admiral Ferrier's order, I am sorry that I cannot do it."

"in addition."

Orlando said earnestly, "General, please don't go to those places in the near future. There are rumors in the army that the commander is licentious and immoral. With the enemy at hand, once the morale of the army is low, it will be easy for the enemy to seize the opportunity to launch an attack."

"No, I won't go there again."

Aiden patted his chest and assured quickly.

Orlando looked at Aiden in surprise, and then said, "Your Excellency is wise. In addition to hoping that you will not do anything that will affect your reputation, I also hope that you can stay in the barracks and try to learn how to handle some military affairs. As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You have always aspired to become a legendary general, and this is a step that cannot be skipped." "Don't worry, Colonel. I will definitely study hard in the future."

Aiden seemed a little impatient, so he pulled Orlando to sit down and said, "Come on, come on, to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule, Colonel, I'll offer a toast first."

While talking.

Aiden personally handed a glass of wine that had been poured long ago to the staff officer Orlando. At this time, Orlando did not have too many doubts, but was a little surprised at Aiden's show of goodwill today, because he had never been treated like this by Aiden before.

boom.

The glasses clinked gently and Orlando raised the glass to his lips.

But at this moment, Orlando discovered that Aiden, who had always been addicted to alcohol, did not put the wine into his mouth immediately, but stared at the wine glass in his hand. This look was very much like a hunter waiting for ignorant prey to fall into a trap, which made Orlando feel a chill on his back.

He put down his glass and shook his head.

Orlando dispelled the chilly feeling, thinking that he was just being overly suspicious, and raised his glass again, ready to drink it all.

However, Aiden felt guilty. Seeing Orlando picking up the glass and then putting it down, he immediately asked anxiously, "Why don't you drink? Do you think my wine is poisonous or do you think it's poisonous?"

Aiden clearly has no talent as an actor.

His anxious expression and words had the opposite effect, shocking Orlando, who had no suspicion of him at all.

Especially the sentence "I still thought the wine was poisonous", thinking about Aiden's abnormal behavior at night, and his always cautious fighting style, Orlando was almost scared to drop the wine on the ground on the spot.

"General, why don't you drink?"

Orlando pretended to ask casually, while paying close attention to Aiden's every move, not missing a single detail.

Aiden's spherical body trembled, and he immediately drank the wine. Then he said loudly: "Drink, of course! Look, I've finished drinking it. Are you still afraid that I will poison you?"

Aiden, feeling guilty, was already panicking and speaking without thinking.

Orlando, who is known for his prudence and conservatism, obviously would not miss these details. He couldn't help but pull up a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth and emphasized twice in a row that there was no poison in the wine. What is the difference between this and trying to cover up one's own guilt?

Vega, who was hiding behind the scenes and paying attention to every move in the living room, sighed.

Although he knew that Aiden was uneducated and probably just an incompetent second-generation rich kid, he didn't expect that Aiden Gary was so stupid that he couldn't even handle such a small matter.

Abnormality is a demon.

Even Vega, who had only recently come into contact with Aiden, could clearly see that something was wrong, let alone Orlando, who was Aiden's advisor.

"It looks like I have to dirty my hands again this time."

Veigar drew out the Doran's Blade in his hand, ready to step out from behind the scenes and kill Orlando on the spot.

But at this moment, a sad voice echoed in the living room -

"If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die. Death... may just be a relief for me."

Colonel Orlando drank the wine in the glass, then laughed loudly and said, "If there is reincarnation in this world, I only hope to be born into a noble family in the next life, and I will be rich and prosperous in this life."

boom!
The wine glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Along with the wine glass, Orlando's pair of glasses that had been polished to a shine were also shattered.
