His Majesty the King's face looked a little ugly, but Baron Treve's words were nothing wrong, and on the surface he was indeed thinking about him. He had no right reason to be angry, and he had to smile at him.

Seeing Gray looking at him with a calm face, he also knew that today's affairs could not be solved by just a count.

He had thought that he had granted the Marquis to Gray, but the country had only a few territory and so many nobles. If there were many foreign enfeoffments, the king's authority would inevitably be threatened, which was something he and even every king could not tolerate.

Besides, it would be good to be awarded an earl for the purpose of rescuing the princess. If you want to be awarded a marquis, the merit is far from enough.

The reason why Gray thinks he deserves more is because the king promised that anyone who rescues the princess would marry the princess. This promise is no different from clearly telling him that I want to give you the throne. Therefore, being a king is a side reward for marrying the king's only princess, rather than saving the princess's contribution.

Compared with the two, Gray naturally did not want to be sent to the position of a mere earl.

The king had to consider many factors, and he was unwilling to give more, so the contradiction naturally arises.

"Felia was captured by the dragon for ten years and was imprisoned in the castle. Every day, she could only see the vicious dragon. She was tortured physically and mentally. She got sick just after she came back last night. The doctor said she needed to rest. The wedding date with Earl Grey may have to be pushed back for some days." The king explained, his eyes extremely firm, as if that was really the case.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am not only the most powerful knight in the kingdom, but also the best doctor in the kingdom. No matter what disease Princess Philea suffers, I am sure to cure her!" Gray said confidently.

"You said you are the best doctor in the kingdom?" The king was shocked. When did you learn medicine? Did you last night?

"Yes, if you don't believe it, your highness can ask Dr. Anderson to confront me. I defeated him in medical skills not long ago. But I am low-key, so I didn't promote it!" Gray smiled, "He also gave me a flag and said that I am a saint of medicine!"

“·······”

Everyone knows that Gray is really talking nonsense, but what can they do? Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Anyway, His Majesty the King is talking nonsense, it depends on which of them is better!

The king shook his head. He could not have really called Doctor Anderson. He believed that as long as he did this, Gray would definitely climb up the pole and make any trouble asking him to bring Philea out for their treatment.

"In addition to physical discomfort, Philia also has mental depression. She has been listless and cannot appear in the best condition. It will damage the etiquette and majesty of the royal family!" The king said with an excuse.

"Your Majesty is wrong. I think the reason why Princess Philia gets sick is because she is depressed by evil dragons for many years and cannot contact living people.

Only by letting Princess Philea have more contact with everyone and integrating into human life can Princess Philea's illness be cured faster. Moreover, this kind of heart disease is best to make her happy for her, so she may get better faster. His Majesty the King and His Highness the Queen care so much about Princess Philea, and they don't want her to be unhappy every day!"

The king was silent. In fact, even if his daughter swears in the name of the family, he is doubtful about whether Gray is an evil dragon, so he thinks to delay time and observe secretly.

If Gray was really an evil dragon, he would mobilize all the kingdom's army, catch him unexpectedly, and imprison him according to his daughter's wishes.

If not, you can slowly persuade your daughter to recognize the facts in the future. After all, this country also needs heirs. He is already old. If his daughter does not want to get married, there will definitely be turmoil in the country in the future, and then the daughter's situation will be even more dangerous.

But he didn't expect that Gray, who had always obeyed his orders, would be so strong. He had clearly named him the earl and did not directly regret the marriage. He just postponed it for a while, and he was unwilling to do so.

Thinking of this, a trace of anger appeared in the king's eyes and he felt a lot of dissatisfaction with the young viscount in front of him.

Just as he was thinking about how to find another excuse to turn this off, a figure suddenly rushed out of the side, threw himself into the king's arms, and started crying loudly.

The figure was very fast. If the royal guards hadn't had a good look, they might have shouted that there was an assassin and then slashed her with a sword.

That's right, the princess who came was the princess who didn't want to marry Gray. She jumped into the king's arms and cried, "Father, I don't want to marry him. He is really an evil dragon. I don't want to marry an evil dragon. Please, father, arrest him!"

Although Princess Philea was crying, her pronunciation was not vague, and all the nobles present could hear it clearly.

Gray finally understood why she didn't like him anymore. It turned out that her identity as an evil dragon was discovered by her.

But he was not panicked, and an angry expression slowly appeared on his face, and then he tried his best to suppress it, "Princess Philea, I will save you from the evil dragon if you don't say thank you, you can't slander me like this!

Everyone knows that I joined the Border Guard at the age of twelve. In the past five years, I have killed countless monsters, monsters, and bandits. There are traces of survival trajectory from childhood to adulthood. How could I be an evil dragon? Who said I am an evil dragon? Do you believe it? Or do you believe it?”

Gray roared out the last few words, and the 19-point mental power was blessed in the voice. Moreover, the murderous aura accumulated by the bandits was released without any scruples, which shocked everyone. Only a few people with good strength could remain calm.

"No...no...no...no!" The few people stared at Gray uttered a few words, then woke up and their faces flushed and ashamed. They were shocked by a few words from a boy, which really lost all the face of the nobles.

Even the king, queen and princess were all shocked, and Princess Philia forgot to continue crying to gain sympathy.

"So, this is completely slander, naked slander, a slander for my personal reputation and all the nobles. Today, His Royal Highness can say that I am an evil dragon. Will the barons, viscounts, counts, and even marquis tomorrow be an evil dragon? Just because the royal family needs us to be an evil dragon?" Grey said indignantly.

Where there is order, there are rules. There are some rules that even the king cannot violate, unless you are really strong enough to suppress a country by one person.

For the king, he can control his ministers, suppress and balance them, but if he wants to cause trouble, he needs a tenable reason. Otherwise, everyone in the kingdom will be in danger and no longer believe in the king's authority, and then the country will be over.

And now, Gray just grasped this point. He was slandered as an evil dragon even though there was no evidence. This was the handle given by the royal family itself.

What is an evil dragon? It is a existence that burns, kills, robs, and abuses. It is a existence that everyone in the kingdom is afraid and hates. Saying such words is a great insult to a person and a trampling on his reputation.

It's like the slander of a woman as a witch in the Middle Ages in Western Europe, and she can instantly trench him to the enemy of everyone and destroy her life.
