I just want to live an ordinary life with the power of the protagonist

Chapter 443 443. War
The butler nodded, and quickly ordered someone to find a carriage. Four horses covered in snow without a trace of variegated color were pulling this luxurious-looking carriage, which caught people's attention.

A demon disguised as a coachman drove for Wang Bo himself.

Wang Bo put on the cumbersome uniform of the duke, with a decorative rapier on his waist and black leather boots on his feet, and got into the carriage with a galloping pace.

Under the leadership of the envoy sent by the king, he left his castle and went to the palace.

The carriage traveled all the way and soon came to the palace.

Although Wang Bo's country is just a small country on this big road, the palace is still quite grand.

After all, the royal palace is the face of a country. If it is too shabby, it is easy to be despised. Therefore, whether it is to show national power or to save face, the royal palace must be gorgeous.

Wang Bo entered the palace and parked the carriage in front of the palace. After getting off the carriage, he walked up the stairs and walked about hundreds of steps before arriving at the gate of the palace.

When several palace guards saw Wang Bo, they hurriedly opened the gate of the palace.

Wang Bo walked through the hall of the palace and, led by the envoy, came to the king's study.

As soon as Wang Bo entered, he saw an old man sitting behind a mahogany desk.

The old man was wearing gorgeous clothes and a crown on his head. Half of his golden hair had turned white, making him look very old.

But in the Duke's memory, the king was only in his 50s, but years of work, coupled with the huge energy invested in governing the country, made the king in his 50s look like an old man in his 70s.

Wang Bo could clearly feel that the energy in the king's body was constantly passing away.

He's on the verge of dying.

At most, no more than three years, or about a year, they will die.

"Here you are, Slanter."

When the king saw Wang Bo, he got up and went around the desk, smiled and opened his hands, hugging Wang Bo.

By the way, the duke replaced by Wang Bo is called Slant, and the king is called Derek.

According to the etiquette that the Duke remembered, Wang Bo bowed and saluted, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you are looking for me for something important?"

The king nodded and said with a heavy face, "Slant, we are in trouble."

"Trouble, I don't know what kind of trouble it is?" Wang Bo asked suspiciously.

"War!" The king said with a gloomy face, "The two countries around us have started a war again, and we are likely to be implicated."

They are just a small country surrounded by great powers, and whenever a country develops, they like to fight on their soil, which makes them suffer from wars.

The king was also helpless.

In order to allow his people to live a happy life, he worked hard and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. However, whenever a war occurs, his country will always suffer.

The work he has done for this country, and even many orders issued, will be destroyed because of the war.

So the king hated war more than anyone else.

Wang Bo suddenly realized: "I understand, Your Majesty, since there is a war, what we have to do is to transfer the civilians as soon as possible."

This country has not experienced war once or twice, so they have sufficient experience, that is, to move the people to a safe place before the war.

As for what the two countries will fight next, they don't care.

After all, they are just a small country and have no ability to prevent wars.After the two countries have finished fighting, the king will send the transferred people back and continue to live.

"Yes, I want to entrust you with this task, Slante, I believe you will not let me down." The king looked at Wang Bo with trust in his eyes.

At least in his memory, his duke has never let him down.

Wang Bo nodded and said calmly, "Of course, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Wang Bo agreed so readily, the king couldn't help but nodded in relief, "You are good, Slante, I have always trusted you, but you'd better leave immediately, because according to the situation I got, War is coming."

Wang Bo nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I'm leaving tonight."

After bidding farewell to the king, Wang Bo turned and left the study, walked through the palace, and went down the stairs. When he was about to leave the palace in a carriage, a voice suddenly stopped him.

"The Duke."

Wang Bo stopped and turned his head to see a young and handsome man with a sword on his waist slowly walking over.

There is also a big guy next to him.

"Prince Kit."

Wang Bo recognized at a glance that this heroic man was the king's son, the prince of this country, the first heir to the throne, and of course the only heir.

After all, the king has only one son, and the big man next to him is the chief guard of the palace.

All the guards in the palace obeyed his command.

In the memory of the Duke, the head of the guard had a good hand and exquisite western swordsmanship.Especially in fencing, he is very good at Shamisami, and he is also Prince Kit's fencing teacher.

"Good afternoon, Duke." Prince Kit walked over quickly, with wet hair and shortness of breath, obviously just after some intense exercise.

It should be because he had just had a fierce duel with his chief guard, so he was sweating profusely.

"Good afternoon, Prince Kit." Wang Bo said calmly; "Is there anything you want from me?"

"Is the Duke entering the palace today because of his father's summoning?" Prince Kit asked.

"of course."

"Is it because of the war?"

"Yes."

"So the Duke is going to transfer the civilians now?"

"That's right, Prince." Wang Bo nodded. He was not surprised why the prince knew about this. After all, the old king was dying, and the young prince had grown up.

The prince has had contact with many government affairs in this country, which is a must-have experience for an heir to the throne.

"Then can I act with the Duke? As a prince, I really hope to help my people." Prince Kit finally explained his intention to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo said without hesitation: "You should ask Your Majesty about this matter, Your Highness. If Your Majesty agrees, I will definitely not object, Your Highness."

When Prince Kit heard Wang Bo's affirmation, he couldn't help showing a hearty smile, "That's really great, I'm going to ask my father now, I don't know when the Duke plans to act."

"Tonight." Wang Bo responded.

"So fast?" Prince Kit was startled, and quickly said, "I'm going to face my father now."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry with the chief guard.
