第1648章我拒絕！
雖然奧蘭多·紫云和達尼亞·蓋德從克魯澤口中聽說過古蘭頓窺伺王室血脈，但就在他們的面前毫無顧忌地說了出來，還是令二人憤怒不已。
在弗里，王室高于一切，這是從古至今的規矩，也是整個統治制度的核心，如果王室沒有至高無上的地位和權力，弗里早在很久之前就已經滅亡了。
而現在，古蘭頓公開挑釁王權，甚至放出大逆不道之詞，奧蘭多·紫云和達尼亞·蓋德恨不得當場將古蘭頓撕碎。
夏娜米亞的表情也非常難看，她知道自己是弗里的女王，而且是王室最后的血脈，自己的感情婚姻不能憑著自己的私欲和情感來決定，但古蘭頓……夏娜米亞哪怕再有涵養也想罵人了，你也不照照鏡子看看自己什么樣子！你多少歲？我多少歲？就你？
“失禮了，陛下，但事關弗里的生死存亡，容不得我再講究什么禮節，弗里的危機近在咫尺，而我所提出的，不僅能夠拯救弗里，還能讓弗里再一次成為宇宙的霸主，孰輕孰重，我相信陛下應該分得清。”
“……你退下吧，古蘭頓。”
“陛下……”
“看在你為了弗里著想，我可以原諒你這次的無禮，古蘭頓，但此事休要再提了，若真走到你說的那一步，我還有禁士長，我也不會懼怕危險，愿意與禁士長一起登上戰場。”夏娜米亞的言辭已經很清楚了，就是告訴古蘭頓，這件事想都不要想。
“……既然如此，我就退下了，不過……還請陛下好好考慮一下。”古蘭頓臉上沒有任何失落，反正他一開始就沒想過夏娜米亞會答應他，他這次來，只是來試探一下夏娜米亞的態度而已，同時看看達尼亞·蓋德和奧蘭多·紫云的狀態。
事實證明，他的決定是對的，奧蘭多·紫云和達尼亞·蓋德依舊腐朽，尤其是達尼亞·蓋德，他已經老了，連同腦子一起老了，還是以前那樣迂腐，而且毫無危機感。
“總代，真是好巧啊。”正巧，在古蘭頓走出王宮的時候遇見了匆匆趕來的卡羅蘭。
“卡羅蘭？你怎么在這里？”古蘭頓有些詫異，雖然卡羅蘭是他這邊的人，但卡羅蘭和他只是合作伙伴的關系，并不是上下級，所以古蘭頓對卡羅蘭并沒有強制權，上一次見到卡羅蘭的時候還是卡羅蘭從弗里外突然趕回了弗里一趟，然后以“去找普羅米斯軍團協商合作”為理由又急匆匆地離開了弗里，這才幾天，又回來了？
“我已經與普羅米斯軍團取得了聯系。”
“哦？成功了？這么快？”古蘭頓眉毛一挑，覺得這事兒哪哪都不對勁，這才幾天就成功聯系上了，而且看卡羅蘭的臉上充滿了笑容，結果肯定是不錯的，但……真的可能嗎？真的這么容易嗎？

“還沒有。”卡羅蘭回答道，不過臉上的笑容沒有改變，“只是初次達成了聯系，與對方談得不錯，對方對我們的計劃也表現出了合作的意向，只是……”
“等等。”古蘭頓抬手打斷卡羅蘭，“這里不是說話的地方，你要去王宮？”
“是的，既然回來了，也要向陛下請安，不然會引起懷疑的。”
“嗯，我在府邸等你。”
“沒問題。”
隨后，古蘭頓和卡羅蘭便分開了，回到自己的家里，古蘭頓還是覺得非常不對勁，卡羅蘭的態度、表情、言辭都沒有問題，但還是覺得不對勁，就像奧凡·蘭克斯一樣，充斥著一股詭異的氣息。
“嗯……還是留個心眼的好，反正……”
