"To see me?" Derila faintly stared and asked directly, "Is it to be arraigned?"
"Of course not." William said hastily, "He knows your identity and does not doubt your
words, he just wants to understand the situation face to face."
"Then let him come in person." Derila said without thinking, "Come over and see
the water source for yourself, see the people in the castle, he can also bring his own
medical team to examine it, I guess."
"Uh." William's eyes widened in shock, "That…"
"You're afraid to say? I'll do it." Derila took William's phone directly and said to the
old king on the other end of the phone, "Your Majesty, you heard what I just said?"
On the phone, the old king was silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly,
"Indeed, you are the doctor!"
"I was just telling the truth." Derila said indifferently, "There is no point for me to go
to the palace, if you believe me, there is no need for me to go there at all, if not, what
can I do if I go? Why not you personally bring your medical team over to test the
authenticity."
"Derila, "
"Do you know who you are talking to?"
The old king looked calm, but his tone carried a sense of authority; it was clear that he
felt a tinge of offence at Derila's personality and was beginning to exert pressure on
her.
"That's how I talk to anyone." Derila's attitude remained unassuming, "All men are
created equal, and besides, I am not your citizen and respect you only because you are
my friend William's grandfather."
Those words made the atmosphere even more tense.
There was no sound on the other end of the line, and William hastily reminded,
"Derila!"
Derila: "I didn't say it wrong."
"Good, very good." The old king suddenly smiled, "You're such a character, you can't be
bent, and you probably won't lie, so I'll go there myself."
"Okay, waiting for you." Derila returned and then tossed the phone to William.
William almost didn't catch it and turned pale with fear, he managed to hold the phone
steady and hurriedly apologised to the old king on the other end of the line,
"Grandfather, I'm sorry, Derila, she has always been unruly and offended you, I'll
wait for her to apologise to you."
"Very similar to Mr.Lierger's character." The old king replied indifferently, "No wonder
they can be a pair!"
Hearing this, William froze for a moment and then responded, "Yes."
"It's good to make friends like Mr.Lierger." The old king said meaningfully, "I have
something to do for the next two days, so I'll make time to come over the day after
tomorrow."
"Yes, you're always welcome to drop by." When he hung up the phone, William looked
up at Derila, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Derila!"
"Thank me for what?" Derila was looking at her phone, Daemon hadn't called yet
and there was no message, the guy seemed to be really angry and sanctioned her with
cold violence this time.
"If you hadn't proposed to His Majesty the King to let him come over, I wouldn't have
dared to open this mouth." William said mockingly, "His old man has always been high
and mighty, and he can't be offended, I didn't expect that he would agree this time. "
"Isn't this quite good." Derila said, "You have to be tough when you should be
tough, or else you will always be bullied."
"You're right." William nodded his head.
"By the way, has Clark told the king your side of the story at all? Does the king believe
it?" Derila asked.
"All told." William looked grave, "But His Majesty the King did not make a positive
statement, but only said he wanted to see you, I think, he may still be considering it."
"Considering what?" Derila asked, puzzled, "The truth of the matter?"
"No." William shook his head with a bitter smile, "He should believe it to be true, what he
is considering is whether the cost of dealing with this matter is worth it or not."
