Kingdom’s Bloodline

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [Aibilou] The fastest update! No ads!

Hee Lai, you...

Thales sighed, Do you really know what you're talking about?

Of course I know!

Xilai pressed the wet eye sockets, his expression returned to seriousness, and his tone was unquestionable:

I'm talking about marriage, power, interests, situation, politics, the balance of the kingdom, the future of Emerald City, and even His Majesty's ambition!

Marriage, power, interests, situation, politics...

Thales felt his heart sank:

What about yourself?

Myself?

Xi Lai froze for a moment.

I'm the right age, I'm in good health, I'm in good shape, and most importantly, I can have children—isn't that enough? What people want from a woman as a wife... oh, I get it.

The girl stared at Thales with gloomy eyes, and suddenly came to her senses.

Her expression froze for a few seconds, and was soon replaced by a smile:

What time is it now, Thales, do we still want to talk about the old-fashioned love and liking, knowing each other and being with each other, and making vows with each other before and after the moon? A clichéd love story where friends end up as lovers!

Thales didn't speak.

Xilai waved his hands and laughed, as if he was saying the most ridiculous thing.

Deadly Iris, how old are you, Thales, have you ever taken a political class? Have you memorized the history and overview of the major families of the stars?

She emphasized her tone, like a mature politician teaching some unworldly child:

You are the son of the king, and I am the sister of the duke. We live in reality, and we should be higher than those nouns that only appear in romantic bards and adventures!

But Thales just looked at her quietly and remained silent for a while.

Really,

The prince has a calm face and deep eyes, Does this choice really make us more...'advanced'?

He looked at Xilai sincerely, there were few doubts and corrections in his eyes, but more doubts and inquiries.

Xilai's eyes widened, as if meeting the person in front of him for the first time.

After a few seconds, she let out a long sigh of frustration and buried her face in the glove.

The meeting hall fell silent, and Thales looked at her with complicated emotions.

Is it because of this?

The eldest lady still had her head down, but she gently raised her left hand and pulled off the glove.

No, no, of course not. Thales looked at the extra little finger on her palm, and after a few seconds he turned his head from the unaccustomed visual impact, It has nothing to do with your hands, your hands Fine, no problem, really, I like it a lot, uh, not that kind of like...

Why is that? Xi Lai interrupted him looking up.

because……

Is it because of Jacques? Xilai grabbed the gloves and asked step by step, That perverted monster who plays with people's hearts, did it really scare you out of shit?

Thales paused.

[Compared to the most terrifying, evil and terrifying existence in this world, compared to the great magic it has invented and perfected over thousands of years...and I wish you defeat it, Your Highness, and become—the evil of evil, Evil on top of evil! 】

Thales thought of Slimani's silly and foolish smile, thought of the cold-blooded and cunning defender who might have been a kind and kind ordinary person, and thought of what fate—or the soul bone—had done to him , I feel heavy and inexplicably sad.

I really don't like your 'friend', and I don't really want to see it again, Thales put away his memories and shook his head, But no, it's not this one either.

Then you have someone else in your heart? That northern woman in Dragon Clouds City who is called 'Blood Boiling'? Or that so-called duchess of the Tebaker family who puts on airs and pretends to be a tough guy every day? Oh, or you really don't like women, so you can't get along with her. I'm lying on the same bed? It's okay, there are so many such marriage pairs in the kingdom, as long as you don't say anything to the public, it's still...

No! Thales, who was immersed in bad memories, denied it, No, not at all, just, just because...

Because... He thought of something, sighed, and stopped talking.

Sunset.

Because it's not you. The next second, Xilai spoke softly.

Thales was taken aback, and looked at her in amazement.

I saw Xilai staring at his glove with only five fingertips, with a sad expression.

I get it, no matter what I say, you won't agree to me, right? Because it's not something you would do at all—just like Jen wouldn't take the initiative to retreat selflessly.

Thales was stunned.

You know, my brother said that you are sentimental, duplicity, fickle, indecisive...

Xilai put on the gloves gently, slowly, earnestly, and carefully.

This is the first time Thales observed her hands up close: the girl showed her fingers one by one, thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger... At the end, with the help of the other hand, she took a deep breath and put His little finger and the slightly trembling, seemingly unwilling little finger were pinched together, and they were stuffed into the same finger pocket with difficulty.

With emotion in her voice, her left hand turned back into five fingers:

But let me tell you, you are the most stubborn, closed-minded, stupid protein idiot in the world. You are smelly and hard, you don't know how to change things, and you are even more unreasonable.

Thales was silent.

Yes. Maybe you're both right.

You won't live long like this, do you know? Xi Lai smiled, looking at the floating gate of the meeting hall engraved with the words The Duke of Xhosa Asks the Government and the People, she wondered, You won't live long.

Thales didn't answer right away, and said silently after a while:

Really.

The two were silent for a while.

You said if...

Xilai turned her head with a bleak smile.

If there were no things like this, nothing about my brother, nothing about your father, no Kongming Palace, no Fuxing Palace, no arbitration, no regent, nothing annoying, just me and you, she stared at Looking at Thales, his eyes were burning, Then will you promise me?

Thales couldn't help being taken aback.

A few seconds later, he turned his head with difficulty, avoiding Xilai's sight, and squeezed out a smile:

Answer, promise what?

Xilai didn't reply, just glanced at him deeply.

The girl figured something out, and shook her head lightly, with a sarcastic expression.

Thales took a deep breath, only feeling that the atmosphere in the hall was oppressive.

My father, he told me himself, he said before the other party, and he didn't know whether he really wanted to explain, or just to escape the depression at the moment, relying on marriage contracts for allies and loyalty, this method has already Outdated, with limited benefits, it can no longer satisfy his appetite.

Thales saw the dim lights in Ballard's room before his eyes:

What he wants is absolute rule, do you understand?

absolute.

Thinking of this, the prince was a little lost in thought.

And Thales, you have to break a path in his absolute rule full of ruthless karma.

Before he burned the whole kingdom to ashes.

very good.

Hearing this, Xilai's eyes narrowed:

You finally said something human.

She raised her arms and sighed softly:

Instead of some 'go your way and no one else's way' nonsense...

Your brother will be fine, Thales said with certainty, The reason is the same as I helped Federico.

He looked seriously at the startled Xilai.

If Jann goes down, then my father wins, a complete victory, irreversible.

Thales took a deep breath, his eyes determined.

And trust me, I'm not going to make it happen.

Won't.

Seeing his flat but firm expression, Xilai was a little surprised at first, but she soon understood what was going on.

You can't do it alone, the girl whispered. You need allies—reliable allies.

alliance.

alliance?

[But what if you act too well... People who are deceived by you and support you, they will converge into a rolling wave, using reputation, position, camp, interests, relationship, situation, and everything to hold you forward, and you will not be allowed to argue , not under your control, let alone you are not allowed to go back on your word. 】

Seeing the girl's attitude, Thales frowned.

Xilai, to be frank, your idea just now, getting married or something...

I know, Xi Lai put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little tired, Please, it's not that bad, is it?

Thales looked at her and smiled slightly.

Actually, you're not the first person to propose marriage to me.

Oh, that's really a pity. Xilai was startled for a moment, and then sneered, I came too late, so I can't have your pure and flawless... first time?

Thales also laughed.

It's not a pity at all, the prince recalled the past, shaking his head in a daze, One time is enough for such an experience.

That bad?

It's worse than that.

Miranda Arend isn't that bad, is he?

Thales was taken aback, frowned and turned his head.

Don't be surprised how I know, Xilai said with a mysterious and serious face, but in the end she couldn't help sighing and told the truth, Well, what happened to Zhan En now is what happened to her father in the past, so I can understand her very well. Ask you for help, even with a marriage contract, understand?

Thales was silent, lost in thought.

Mila...

[In this case, Miranda Arend, are you willing to be my knight? 】

[I am willing, Your Highness. 】

I have to admit that the way she wields the sword is very handsome. I would also like such a sword, but as a dowry, the situation and status of Hanbao has long been inferior to the past, and...

It's not her, Thales interrupted her in a daze. The first time I was proposed was an ugly old woman who likes to suck human blood.

Xilai was taken aback.

One who likes to suck... ugly faces... sorry, who?

[Betrayal is the true meaning of alliance,]

Thales sighed and touched the side of his neck.

Until now, she still hates me deeply. In her dreams, she wants to suck me up, tear me up, eat me up, chew me into pieces, and swallow me for digestion.

Xilai was taken aback by this series of words. She rolled her eyes and chose words carefully:

Uh, is it because she can't accept breaking up with you, or is your way of rejecting people too unfeeling?

Thales shook his head, but did not answer her question.

Because of her, I made a bad choice, a wrong choice, a self-righteous choice, many people sacrificed for it, and died in the birch forest in the north, Thales recalled the past, depressed, because of my choose.

And if he hadn't rectified the chaos in time and hadn't been able to arrive at Broken Dragon Fortress in time, more people would have died at the border and in the subsequent war between the two countries.

Xilai felt the prince's emotion, she smiled slightly:

So from now on... choose your partner more wisely?

Xilai practiced what he said, set an example, and wisely did not ask more stories about the ugly old woman.

However, Thales was taken aback when he heard this.

wiser...

Yes, so I have to choose more wisely, Thales stared at Xilai's face, gradually fascinated, Be more careful, careful, prudent, and responsible, especially when facing...people like my father .”

Xilai blushed slightly from his stare, a little embarrassed.

Yes, then we will work together to deceive him, Xi Lai tried hard to change the subject, returning to the context just now, You and I, we cooperate, contact, communicate, conspire, and then keep a low profile, be obedient, maybe a little bit more Friction to dispel suspicion, we hide, hide, confuse him, mislead him, let your father think that he has completely controlled you, and then one day, we will...

Xilai paused.

Thales came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows.

At once?

Miss Kevin Dill took a deep breath and shrugged:

We will act.

action?

Thales was speechless for a long time after listening to her casual answer.

What's wrong?

Thales lowered his head and closed his eyes, preventing the other party from seeing his expression.

[You'd better understand that this is not a chess game or a game, this is a real war. 】

The king's voice rang in his ears.

[And anyone, no matter what his name is, how high he is, how important he is, whether he is wise or brave, whether he is aggressive or gentle, if he is self-righteous, he dares to stand in the middle of the battlefield...]

Xilai, you just said that you and I cooperated to deceive him? Thales opened his eyes and spoke quietly.

【All will be smashed to pieces. 】

Yes, to deceive him, it's like we're working together to conjure magic. Xilai's tone was taken for granted, as if the hope of saving his brother was rekindled, Listen, I know this sounds naive, and I know that Your Majesty is not so easy to deceive It's over, seeing you and Zhan En falling in love like this -

Just like you lied to me before?

Xilai was startled when she heard the words:

What?

Thales stared at her with sad eyes.

When Xilai met his eyes, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, subconsciously avoiding it.

But the prince didn't say anything after all, just shook his head sadly.

Oh, you mean before, Xilai looked down at her hands and forced a smile, Well, I apologize, I shouldn't have treated you that way, but didn't I say it, I won't pretend to be a ghost again Come to lie to you and scare you...

I already know, Xilai, about who you claim to be.

I only heard Thales speak softly:

I know you're lying to me.

Xilai trembled when she heard the sound.

What are you talking about? What are you lying about... She raised her head with a puzzled look on her face.

Until Thales gently raised his hand to stop what she was about to say.

I know that you have been lying to me from the very beginning, from the first day we met, he looked at Xilai sadly, You pretended to be the king's spy, someone from the kingdom's secret department to approach me, Defrauding trust, so that you can cooperate with your brother internally and externally to deal with me...

At that moment, Xilai opened his eyes wide.

She suddenly became anxious and tried to explain:

No, I didn't, I really...

When we met at the banquet, you tried every means to prove to me that you are the king's man, Thales shook his head, But the next day, you didn't know anything about the actions of the Kingdom's Secret Division, and I began to doubt, You immediately emphasized that you are only in one-line contact, and told me not to contact the secret department, and not to ask for a certificate...

But, but I proved my identity! I really know... Xi Lai tried hard to explain.

Yes, 'decision on the fly, discretion', you know the code that the king told me, Thales looked at her calmly, but with deep disappointment, but since Federico can know, I guess it's not a big secret, and you probably found out about it from a channel that is not strictly kept secret, and took advantage of the trend to pretend to be a secret agent?

Xilai opened his eyes wide, but hesitated to speak.

As for just now, you said that you can see the cowardice between me and Zhan En, the king is not so easy to deceive...

Xilai's expression changed.

Thales chuckled and stopped looking at the girl:

You can say such a thing, you need to guess the king from the reaction of me and Jen... You've never seen the king, have you? At least you haven't talked to him face to face.

Xilai looked in disbelief.

As for lying to him... Believe me, those who have really faced my father, Thales looked at the door, lost in thought, it is impossible to have such confidence.

Xilai fully understood, she looked at Thales, speechless and pale.

I……

I don't blame you, after all, you are Kevin Dill's daughter, Thales sighed softly, feeling exhausted, The position is limited, that's all.

Xilai stared at him blankly.

Thales, on the other hand, looked quietly at the door of the meeting hall, expressionless, and let her look at him.

sorry.

A few seconds later, Xilai's voice sounded hollow and lost.

I'm sorry, Thales, I deceived you, Xilai took a deep breath, trying to suppress her trembling voice, I'm really not the king's man, I did that just to win your trust and attention.

Thales nodded numbly.

Very well, thank you for your frankness, although it is a bit late.

but I……

You may be the girl with the most value and benefits of marriage in the entire Star Kingdom, but please forgive me for not being able to cooperate and form an alliance with a liar who is full of lies, deceptive, intends to manipulate me, mislead me, and will betray me sooner or later Thales interrupted her without changing his expression, his tone was calm, but also indifferent, let alone hold hands and get married, we will stay together for a lifetime.

Xilai trembled when she heard the sound.

I……

Good day, Cecilia, Thales turned his head, without looking at her, just pointed to the door casually, You can go, take it to the soul bone Jacques for me.

Xilai didn't speak.

The entire hall fell into a dead silence, only the rapid breathing of Miss Cavendir remained.

But Thales didn't look back.

Not even a penny.

Finally, after a long time, Thales heard Xilai get up suddenly.

He still didn't look back.

Believe it or not, little brat, Cecilia's voice trembled and her breathing was unsteady, but she carried her usual tenacity and stubbornness, But I, I didn't cooperate with Zhan En, he didn't know all this, It has nothing to do with him, I just make my own claim...

enough.

Thales interrupted her mercilessly, indicating that he was not interested in this.

It doesn't matter anymore.

He shook his head:

As for your brother, don't worry, I have my own arrangements for him—unless you can persuade him to surrender and let the Emerald City go.

His final tone is tough, unquestionable, and his intention of chasing guests could not be more obvious.

Xilai's breathing began to speed up, accompanied by faint sobs.

But he still didn't look back.

very good.

The eldest lady's voice rang in her ears, with a hint of grievance and stubbornness.

so be it.

In the next second, Xilai's footsteps sounded hurriedly, heading towards the gate.

Thales didn't look back after all.

Until the door opens, closes.

The footsteps go far away, gradually getting smaller, getting weaker, and disappearing silently.

Thales exhaled deeply, and then he turned his head in the empty hall and looked at the closed door:

very good.

He said quietly.

At least……

At least she's gone.

Thales leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

At least she's not as stubborn as Selma.

At least she's not as stubborn as Miranda.

or like me...

madness.

Thales resisted the urge to touch the covenant and feel the sting.

A few minutes later, the door was opened again, and Huai Ya stepped into the hall respectfully.

Your Highness, I'm here to apply to you. I want to use a military letter crow to contact the capital...

Use it directly, don't ask for my opinion, Thales closed his eyes, and pressed his forehead, Go out now, let me rest for a while.

Wyatt's words stopped abruptly.

Oh, oh, yes, Your Highness, of course.

But the attendant looked back and turned halfway, then turned back again.

I'm very sorry, Your Highness, but the raven is just an excuse. Wyatt seemed to be trying to muster up the courage, This way, this way, I can talk to you a few words and check on your situation.

What?

Thales frowned and opened his eyes.

I saw Huai Ya standing under him, embarrassed:

And when you are away from home, if the herald Trifanov is not here and Neshi is not punished, then I will be in charge of the cage. Yes, I am with Jake, so I can use it whenever I want. Use as much as you want...Of course, that's not the point, sorry.

Wyah? Thales asked in confusion.

Huai Ya took a deep breath, closed and opened his eyes again:

Actually, I just met Ms. Kevin Dill on the road, and she looks a little...

Thales frowned slightly:

Excited?

Crying, Your Highness, she, Wyatt hesitated again and again, Ma'am, she is crying.

Thales' mood sank.

Yes, we had a quarrel just now. He forced himself to smile indifferently, as if talking about a trivial matter, You know, Xi Lai is savage and willful, and she never leaves her brother in three words, like Like what can I do...

Your Highness, Huai Ya raised his voice unusually, I know that since we came to the Emerald City, things have not been smooth and complicated, but I always feel that you, you...

Don't worry, it's just a quarrel, I'm fine, Thales waved his hand indifferently, Besides, I have nothing to do with her, it's all rumored by outsiders, don't fool around with the d.d gang...

What I want to say has nothing to do with her! Huai Ya spoke hurriedly, interrupting the prince rarely.

Thales was silent, he raised his head.

Wia, what exactly are you trying to say?

Wyah gritted his teeth, and finally told the truth:

I want to say, what I want to say is: You have become a stranger, Your Highness.

Strange, what strange?

Thales laughed, as if hearing the most ridiculous thing:

It's my swordsmanship that I've started to learn? I haven't lost so much in martial arts class? I'm used to riding a horse? Oh, if you mean a few days ago, Xilai and I ran away from home following clues, which made you worry...

It's not these, Your Highness! It's not swordsmanship, it's not schoolwork, it's not what happened these days, but, Your Highness, it's, it's...

Huai Ya said in a hurry, he waved his hands unnaturally, trying to say something, but every time he couldn't express his meaning:

d.d, Glover, even Chief Majors, these guards up and down, they all, I mean they haven't been with you for as long as I have, and the dumb man, well, you know, he That's, that's...

He racked his brains to no avail, but he couldn't find any other words:

Dumb.

But listening to the attendant's words, Thales seemed to understand something.

Not externally, but...

The prince's smile disappeared.

Why, Wyah.

Why?

Why should you care about this.

Wyatt looked at Thales worriedly: So, forgive me for presumptuousness, Your Highness, but I think there are some things that can only be said by me, and can only be said by me...

What? Thales said calmly.

Huai Ya took a deep breath, and wanted to take a step forward, but finally retreated.

Your Highness, how are you? he asked worriedly.

Are you ok?

Thales was expressionless.

certainly.

certainly.

Thales stared closely at Wyah.

Apart from……

He took an extra bone ring.

Huai Ya looked back at him with a disappointed expression.

oh.

But the attendant quickly raised his head, speaking anxiously:

But this year, you have frowned more times than at any time in the past seven years, even when you are alone in a daze, you often start talking to yourself on the road, saying words and stories that we don't understand, and at night, You started sleeping in the...

What are you sleeping on? Thales raised his head sensitively, his tone aggressive.

Wyatt paused.

nothing.

But he said anxiously:

But if you have any inconvenient things to say, Your Highness, if you have any unspeakable feelings, you can trust me—

You? Thales interrupted him, unconsciously raising his voice.

I believe you?

Huai Ya was stunned, he quickly bowed his head and confessed:

Sorry, I know that I am mediocre and extremely dull. Your Highness, let alone my father, I am far inferior to other people... But Your Highness, I still want to share your worries.

Share your worries?

How to share your worries?

Thales looked at him faintly, and suddenly remembered the moment when he and Wyah first met.

[This life, this body, is for your encouragement. 】

What if I let you sacrifice and die?

Huai Ya was startled, then smiled.

If you go through fire and water, you will do whatever you want, he bowed solemnly, but I know, Your Highness, you won't do that.

How do you know I can't? Thales said loudly, suppressing the anger in his heart that he didn't know why.

Because I have been following you for many years, and I have known you from a long time ago—

What if you had to die?

Thales said loudly, he stood up, and unknowingly used a questioning tone, which made Huai Ya take a step back in surprise:

If you, Wyah Castle, if you just stand by my side, keep up with my footsteps, or even approach me, are you doomed to die?

[...all of them will be smashed to pieces. 】

Thales was short of breath, staring fixedly at the attendant in front of him.

Choose wisely.

Choose wisely.

Huai Ya seemed to be petrified, he had never seen His Highness like this before.

But the prince's attendant still swallowed his throat, raised his hands, and tried his best to be gentle:

It's okay Your Highness, I know, I don't like my father either, I mean he treats me very well, but I just can't stand in front of him...

Thales frowned.

Did Gilbert tell you something before coming here?

No, no, I, after I moved out of the house alone, I didn't talk to him much, Huai Ya was sweating profusely, Although he did hint that he wanted me to care more about His Highness's mental health...

Gilbert.

[And anyone, no matter what his name is, how high he is, how much weight he has...]

[...all of them will be smashed to pieces. 】

With a heavy heart, Thales took a deep breath.

You are my attendant, Wyah, he forced himself to calm down, I trust and rely on my right arm.

Huai Ya's eyes brightened:

Yes, Your Highness, so you—

Then figure out your identity and concentrate on your duties, Thales interrupted him coldly, rather than being arrogant and overstepping the rules.

This statement is very serious, cold and heartless, which surprised Huai Ya.

He took a step back subconsciously, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and apologized.

I'm very sorry, Your Highness, I have overstepped.

The hall fell silent.

Thales stood in the hall, looking at Wyatt Kaso, who was kneeling on the ground with a terrified face, and suddenly came back to his senses: he lost his composure.

The prince slumped back to his chair, covering his face with his hands.

I, I'm sorry, Wyah...

He sighed:

Recently... there are a lot of troubles.

No, Your Highness, I am the one who should apologize, Huai Ya frightened, he glanced at the prince secretly, and immediately lowered his head, I am the one who is oversensitive and behaved presumptuously, I shouldn't have asked some inexplicable questions to annoy you... ...

Hell, he should have taken the advice of the old smoker—no, Putil Nyman.

[Each Canxing is like a separate secret department, with a lot of secrets. It is enough to only care about what you should know. 】

Get up, Wyah, Thales said wearily, Thank you.

Huai Ya let out a breath and got up cautiously.

Really, thank you.

Thales rubbed the side of his forehead, his face painful: But... not now.

Huai Ya stared at him for a long time before bowing his head in frustration.

I understand, the attendant said softly, Then I'll go out first.

Thales closed his eyes and nodded.

The sound of Wyatt's footsteps gradually faded away.

Yes, Your Highness.

When he was about to leave, the attendant suddenly turned around.

Thales raised his head.

If you just stand by your side and get close to you, you will, you will be smashed to pieces and you will definitely die...

The next second, Wyah looked back at Thales, showing a pale smile.

Then I have to choose a good position.

Thales' fingers trembled.

At that moment, the prince didn't answer, but just silently looked at his attendant and his smile, with mixed feelings in his heart.

[First meeting, Your Highness Thales. 】

【My sword and wisdom are for your use. 】

[For the rest of my life, I will serve you wholeheartedly. 】

[This life, this body, is for your encouragement. 】

but……

There was no sound in the hall, and Huai Ya seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help laughing and said:

I mean, I can't be more backward than the mute, can I?

Thales was still staring at him with complicated eyes and surging emotions.

Wyah was a little embarrassed by being stared at, he pleaded guilty, turned and left.

However, just as Wyah walked out of the gate and disappeared into the darkness outside the conference hall, Thales suddenly felt emotional. He stood up and subconsciously said:

Wyah!

Wyatt's hand immediately appeared on the crack of the door that was about to close.

He looked back at the gate, full of hope:

Your Highness?

I……

Thales looked at Wyah, hesitant to speak.

yes.

What should he say?

Thank you once again?

Or No, don't think so?

【Those who were deceived by you and supported you...】

【They will love you more than hate me. 】

[At that time, you can't help yourself, even if you want to get off the car halfway, it will be too late. 】

Your Highness? Wyatt looked at Thales in a daze, and couldn't help but remind him.

He, his name is Rolf, not dumb. In the end, Thales felt clumsy and could only say this sentence, Midilla Rolf.

Huai Ya's eyes darkened slightly.

But a few seconds later, his expression quickly lit up again.

I know, Your Highness, Wyatt smiled slightly, and I believe...

The attendant gave Thales a meaningful look:

He knows it too.

Thales couldn't help trembling.

Always know.

After saying that, Huai Ya bowed lightly and disappeared in front of Thales.

Thales was left alone in the hall, confused and mixed feelings

The chamber fell silent again.

But Thales' cleanliness didn't last long. Soon, Mallos, Hugo, and logistics officer Shi Tuo, with gloomy faces, pulled several Emerald City officials to report to Thales.

What did you say?

Thales couldn't believe it, but the financial officials in front of him were holding the ledger, sweating profusely, trembling.

What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean by 'distressed' and what do you mean by 'poor money'?

The prince hurriedly asked.

It means that the family property in Emerald City is far less wealthy and glamorous than we expected.

The logistics officer Shi Tuo sighed, he put down the few books he had just reported, with an ugly expression:

In fact, they were going bankrupt.
