第1648章我拒绝！
虽然奥兰多·紫云和达尼亚·盖德从克鲁泽口中听说过古兰顿窥伺王室血脉，但就在他们的面前毫无顾忌地说了出来，还是令二人愤怒不已。
在弗里，王室高于一切，这是从古至今的规矩，也是整个统治制度的核心，如果王室没有至高无上的地位和权力，弗里早在很久之前就已经灭亡了。
而现在，古兰顿公开挑衅王权，甚至放出大逆不道之词，奥兰多·紫云和达尼亚·盖德恨不得当场将古兰顿撕碎。
夏娜米亚的表情也非常难看，她知道自己是弗里的女王，而且是王室最后的血脉，自己的感情婚姻不能凭着自己的私欲和情感来决定，但古兰顿……夏娜米亚哪怕再有涵养也想骂人了，你也不照照镜子看看自己什么样子！你多少岁？我多少岁？就你？
“失礼了，陛下，但事关弗里的生死存亡，容不得我再讲究什么礼节，弗里的危机近在咫尺，而我所提出的，不仅能够拯救弗里，还能让弗里再一次成为宇宙的霸主，孰轻孰重，我相信陛下应该分得清。”
“……你退下吧，古兰顿。”
“陛下……”
“看在你为了弗里着想，我可以原谅你这次的无礼，古兰顿，但此事休要再提了，若真走到你说的那一步，我还有禁士长，我也不会惧怕危险，愿意与禁士长一起登上战场。”夏娜米亚的言辞已经很清楚了，就是告诉古兰顿，这件事想都不要想。
“……既然如此，我就退下了，不过……还请陛下好好考虑一下。”古兰顿脸上没有任何失落，反正他一开始就没想过夏娜米亚会答应他，他这次来，只是来试探一下夏娜米亚的态度而已，同时看看达尼亚·盖德和奥兰多·紫云的状态。
事实证明，他的决定是对的，奥兰多·紫云和达尼亚·盖德依旧腐朽，尤其是达尼亚·盖德，他已经老了，连同脑子一起老了，还是以前那样迂腐，而且毫无危机感。
“总代，真是好巧啊。”正巧，在古兰顿走出王宫的时候遇见了匆匆赶来的卡罗兰。
“卡罗兰？你怎么在这里？”古兰顿有些诧异，虽然卡罗兰是他这边的人，但卡罗兰和他只是合作伙伴的关系，并不是上下级，所以古兰顿对卡罗兰并没有强制权，上一次见到卡罗兰的时候还是卡罗兰从弗里外突然赶回了弗里一趟，然后以“去找普罗米斯军团协商合作”为理由又急匆匆地离开了弗里，这才几天，又回来了？
“我已经与普罗米斯军团取得了联系。”
“哦？成功了？这么快？”古兰顿眉毛一挑，觉得这事儿哪哪都不对劲，这才几天就成功联系上了，而且看卡罗兰的脸上充满了笑容，结果肯定是不错的，但……真的可能吗？真的这么容易吗？

“还没有。”卡罗兰回答道，不过脸上的笑容没有改变，“只是初次达成了联系，与对方谈得不错，对方对我们的计划也表现出了合作的意向，只是……”
“等等。”古兰顿抬手打断卡罗兰，“这里不是说话的地方，你要去王宫？”
“是的，既然回来了，也要向陛下请安，不然会引起怀疑的。”
“嗯，我在府邸等你。”
“没问题。”
随后，古兰顿和卡罗兰便分开了，回到自己的家里，古兰顿还是觉得非常不对劲，卡罗兰的态度、表情、言辞都没有问题，但还是觉得不对劲，就像奥凡·兰克斯一样，充斥着一股诡异的气息。
“嗯……还是留个心眼的好，反正……”
