Kingdom’s Bloodline

The latest website: In the 127th year of the Ending Calendar, Eight Fingers Horace stood out from the competition with several brothers, and was successfully crowned as the sixth supreme king of the stars, Horace I.

As a political enemy who has been at odds with Eight Fingers for many years, the respected prime minister of the kingdom, Duke Kirk Cavendir, was furious when he learned that his daughter was going to be married to the north by the new king. He hated the king and left angrily, returned to the Emerald City, and refused to accept the king's order behind closed doors. The courtiers advised him to put state affairs first, but the Duke of Cork said in front of the courtiers, If you lose two fingers, you won't delay your meal. .

Not long after the coronation, he was opposed and ridiculed by the prime minister. The eight-fingered king was disgraced and lost all face, and he couldn't help being angry.

In response, Horace I personally led the army out of the city, announcing that he would go south to hunt: he approached all intersections, ferries and even sea routes leading to the Emerald City, and surrounded the Cavendir family. The ministers and princes advised him not to do anything. The king went to war, but the king claimed that he was not fighting, but was waiting for an old wild boar to be shortlisted.

When the news was sent back to Emerald City, Prime Minister Cork first thumped the table angrily, and then laughed three times, Only people who can't hold the hilt of a sword are afraid of war. He then sent his eldest son to various places on the South Bank with the family flag to recruit soldiers and prepare for the battle. Slogan unity:

Kevin Dill did not die with the enemy.

The royal barracks got the information, and the Eight-Fingered King, who was eating, looked as usual. He calmly finished his meal, read the book, discussed political affairs, and checked the princes' homework before returning to the camp. In one breath, a warrant was handed out from King Horace's tent: The commander-in-chief of the stars is here to summon thousands of princes to fight against the king.

Both Horace I and Prime Minister Cork were outstanding men at the time, but they were equally arrogant. Not only did neither of them want to bow their heads first, but the misunderstanding and grievances became deeper and deeper:

King Horace summoned the princes, the Duke of Cork raised his troops and horses; the nine-pointed star's sentry moved in a foot, and the iris's scout ten inches away; When the ladder is built, the Emerald City launches the same amount of defensive crossbows; the royal family marches out and hunts for a hundred miles, and Kevin Dill holds a knightly contest and publicly selects generals...

In the 128 years since the end of the calendar, the confrontation between the two sides has become more and more tense, and the room for maneuver has become narrower. The princes who were forced to stand in line were in danger and miserable.

After the separation of Samsung, because of the two heroes at the top of the power, the Star Kingdom once again came to the brink of splitting and civil war.

Two evil pens.

Thales closed the sixth chapter of The Emerald Mystery City Record with a snap:

It's just fucking poisonous.

Thales’s itinerary for the past few days is to visit the Emerald City under the leadership of the police officer Kaguilei—from the Artisan District to the Golden District, from the Canal District to the Glory District, from observing the workshops of various products to meeting Representatives of various guilds.

Just like his agreement with Zhan En, they still have a bad relationship on the surface, and even are hostile to each other:

The day before yesterday, at a religious dinner in the Sunset Temple, an old priest of the Sunset Temple hinted that Thales only a civilized and pious marriage will be blessed by the Goddess of the Sunset, and then began to talk about it Exeter's beliefs and customs are barbaric and backward, while Jann shakes his wine glass on the throne, with a half-smile; in response, Thales asked suspiciously, is it uncivilized or impious that Duke Jann hasn't married yet? ? The Duke of Falkenhaus in the Western Wilderness married a wife from the Northland. Is it uncivilized or impious?

Not long after they came here, the guards of the Kongming Palace once said that for safety reasons, unless the Duke of Xinghu is traveling, his entourages are not allowed to enter and leave the main palace at will, and they must limit the time of going out and register the itinerary, and it is best to have a special escort; Thales said This expressed understanding, and then started the itinerary to accompany his subordinates in and out of Kongming Palace twenty times in one day. The reasons ranged from going out for a walk with Miss Miranda and the Glover family has a quirk of walking before and after meals. , This meal needs to be eaten on foot, Lord Mallos is going to buy some special products to Send his subordinates down to see if there is a little puppet bear for sale, the police officer Kaguire who is in charge of the security of the Duke and Che Second Lieutenant Erki, including the Security Office and the Jade Legion, was on the way to the front station and arranging the route every second, and it was miserable. Two days later, the butler Ashford came to Thales with a smile and told the prince his The guards are free to leave the palace.

The wine merchant who was arrested by the Emerald Legion on the first day, although Dagoli Moss escaped, he is still locked in the prison and has not been released. Thales had to send someone to intervene, but the people in the prison said it anyway. He didn't let go and didn't allow visits. When he asked, This is the order of Mr. Zhan En. Thales once hinted to Zhan En that if he wants to show the secret department a good show, it is best to let Dagoli live, in case they see the flaws, but Zhan En told him that based on what Dagoli has done, Compared with the outside, the prison is safer for him now.

Time passed day by day like this, the guests from Seven Seas gathered in the South Bank, and the Emerald City became more and more lively, everywhere was crowded with people, and it was no longer convenient for Thales to go out, so he could only listen to the news from his subordinates every day, and then in the Mallos sits and waits to die in his venomous tongue and taunts every day.

As for the long-haired ghost he saw that day, it never appeared again. Thales, who was full of doubts, didn't want to go to Zhan En to make fun of himself (Oh? Maybe it's the ancestors of the Cavendir Ancestor Rock, I want to find Your Highness, will you go down to accompany me? It just so happens that I know there is a shortcut—have you seen that tall watchtower?——Thales, who shook his head, imitating the beating of Jaen shaking his glass), and wanted to ask insincerely Butler Ashford, but the latter always smiled and answered irrelevant questions (Yes, so there are no ghosts in the Fuxing Palace... how enviable, Your Highness...).

Until the Emerald Celebration looms.

At this moment, the Duke of Xinghu was sitting in a lounge of the Kongming Palace. He put down the book in his hand, sorted out the novel style, well-tailored, light and comfortable banquet dress, and patted the nine-pointed star emblem on the cuff. .

The tailor guild of the Emerald City sent their best tailor team to Thales, and recommended seven banquet dresses with different styles and styles. Master Damon, who is worth the eight-month salary of Bachelor Julio, their success is not in luxury and craftsmanship, but in simplicity without losing style, low-key but without losing character, which makes Thales quite satisfied.

Good goods and good jobs, why are they all in the Emerald City?

Big dog.

Tonight's occasion is very important. Mallos wore a dark dress, which was almost exactly the same as his usual guard uniform. The Brawl Banquet is...

It is a traditional feast on the night before the Queen's Day. It was held by the Kevin Dill family in Kongming Palace to announce the start of the Emerald Celebration and start the city-wide carnival in the Emerald City within a week. There were many heavyweight guests at the banquet. Including the dignitaries of various countries and agents of various forces, you must not be ignored—thank you for repeating this fifteenth time in my ear, Thor!

Yes, Mallos was a little upset, he looked at Thales's appearance, You are sure that these dresses...

It's free!

Kong Mutuo, who was also dressed like a dog, hurriedly followed: I don't know how grateful the big owners of the tailor's guild are for this opportunity, especially after knowing that Master Wyatt's father is...

Hey, make it clear!

Standing in front of the mirror, Huai Ya, who tried his best to hide the single-edged sword under his coat, turned his head angrily:

Which Wyah?

Don't worry, sir, the logistics officer Shi Tuo sat behind the table, writing down the account book, happily, Since we came to Emerald City, not only have our living costs dropped significantly, we even have income. Now the money in the account, even if we go back There is no one to entertain us on the way, and it is enough for us to make it to Star Lake Castle—Your Highness, do you really not consider marrying Miss Kevin Dill?

That also requires me to see her—and, no, don't think about it. Thales said angrily.

Fighting Feast, Fighting Feast, D.D frowned and straightened his boots, The names of these people on the South Bank are stranger than the other—hey, zombie, why are you still in uniform?

Because I didn't go to the banquet. Glover who was standing at the door said coldly.

Queen's Day is meaningful and commemorates Regina, the first queen of the Kevin Deer family, said Oscar Kelsson, a second-class pioneer officer who grew up on the South Bank. The seven-day celebration, traditionally It is to reproduce the different parts of the grand wedding hundreds of years ago, and the Feast for the Front is the first part: the first time the prince met Regina's father, it was the banquet where the sword was on the verge...

I don't understand, Nexi's voice came from the other side of the room, Why doesn't the first part start with the prince and Regina instead of the two men?

Because it commemorates a wedding, a marriage, Paul said coming from outside the door, well-dressed and dignified, not love—the people in Kongming Palace are urging, Your Highness.

Aren't they the same?

Of course it's different, D.D lazily said, You can have girls in love, but you can only have men in marriage.

Big fellows, the old rules, abstinence from alcohol and diet, Mallos' order was unsurprisingly greeted with a sigh of disappointment, Be careful, this is not the royal capital, and there is no royal guard who can quickly support us.

Yeah, as if they took care of us last time... Doyle muttered uncomfortably.

I've seen the guest list for the Battle of the Front, ranging from domestic princes to foreign princes, and even forces beyond the coastline. I think they have their own purposes, not just for tourism in the Emerald City. Mallos explained in a deep voice. road.

I know, they came here for the fame, Huai Ya snorted coldly, to see His Highness.

That's not the only thing, Paul added, For many forces, Emerald City is an ideal, efficient, and safe neutral negotiating place.

Especially when all parties gather here for the Emerald Celebration, Your Highness, a young lady in a formal dress entered the room, explaining to everyone, We can talk about everything face to face, and we don't have to wait for the ravens to fly over before we talk about it. Fly back.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and exchanged glances with each other: Why did a stranger break in?

The girl in front of her was wearing beautiful light makeup and a chic bun, making her neck look slender and graceful. Two bundles of curly hair that had been carefully groomed fell from both sides, adding a bit of beauty to her. The dark silk on her body reflected the gleam, Coupled with the tall figure and dignified manner, it is amazing at first sight.

Ma'am, D.D was the first to react, he stepped forward and bowed politely, This is the lounge of His Highness Thales, did you go wrong...

Boom!

D.D was stunned: a long sword was being held in a hand wearing a black glove, the hilt pressed against his chest.

Stop playing!

The glamorous beauty in front of her pushed him back with the hilt of her sword, and said displeasedly:

We're here to work.

Everyone was startled again.

Only Thales looked at the familiar sword, reacted instantly, and exclaimed:

Mira?

Fuck!

Everyone in the room shook in unison!

Your Highness, the pretty beauty's eyes turned cold, showing a faint murderous look that did not match the luxurious dress on her body, Do you have any orders?

I saw the beautiful girl in front of me—the banquet version of Miranda retracting the Eagle Flying, turning the long sword back and forth on the black glove, but finally failed to find the usual sword belt and hook, the girl from the Arund family could only wrinkle Brow, hold the sword in your hand for the time being.

Wow.

Thales blinked: I didn't expect this girl to be so beautifully dressed.

I know, it's ugly.

Miranda uncomfortably tugged at the gemstone earrings:

Yes, for the convenience of movement, I shortened the back swing of mopping the floor. Damn, I still can't run. Ah, these earrings are so cumbersome. Those two little devils must be playing tricks on me. Oh, forget it, I'll go now replace-

Everyone reacted instantly and quickly waved their hands and shook their heads.

No no no!

No need to change!

This is good!

Excellent!

It fits the demeanor of the Arend family!

Don't lose His Majesty's people!

Well enough.

...

Amidst the yelling of a group of people, Rolf snorted disdainfully, lowered his head and pressed his mask.

Under Miranda's suspicious eyes, everyone in the room subconsciously began to arrange their clothes, or sat upright, or described it as solemn.

It seemed as if they had grown up in an instant.

Tut tsk tsk, Shi Tuo's logistics officer sat on the table and said while writing the account book, Oh, man.

Glover turned and left without saying a word.

Where are you going, zombie? D.D asked suspiciously.

Glover didn't turn his head back, and squeezed out a few words in a muffled voice:

Change the dress.

But Thales frowned looking at Miranda's appearance.

But, Mira, how do you carry a sword in your body?

Miranda sighed:

I know, I wanted to wear a suit that could carry a weapon, even a knife, but they told me there was no such thing...

It's okay, ma'am, D.D suddenly appeared in front of her with a sincere look on his face, I can hold the sword for you all night.

Miranda took a step back subconsciously, hugged Yingxiang to his chest, and looked at him with a strange expression.

And me! Nexi's eyes lit up and he squeezed in.

Uh, isn't it a bit... Huai Ya frowned.

Let me come, Glover's voice came from the locker room, hesitantly, I mean, I'll stand in the corner tonight.

You don't have to take on the role of guard, ma'am, because a group of nobles will be around you, and you won't be able to spare your hands. But if you insist, Paul Bozdov straightened his collar expressionlessly and stretched out his right hand, my Identity, can stand closer to you.

Ma'am, I can stay with you tonight...

Madam is right, it is our duty to protect His Highness...

Strange, Shi Tuo added sullenly, No one usually wants to help with the sword, even with luggage.

this……

Thales, who couldn't bear to watch the peacocks spread all over the room, let out a long sigh and shook his head: Man.

Silence, Mallos tried hard to call everyone back, but obviously had little effect, If it is really necessary, it doesn't matter whoever takes the sword...

In the chaos and noise, Miranda's expression became more and more ugly.

After a few seconds, she suddenly stepped forward, quieting everyone.

Countless eyes looked at her expectantly.

Mr. Mallos, Miranda unexpectedly came to the watchman, and Yingxiang spun her glove and brought it to the watchman. Can you keep it for me?

In an unbelievable gaze, Mallos looked back at her in surprise.

I, I can designate a one-man gang in the team...

But I heard that you have a lot of experience in how to use swords, including sharp blades, right? Miranda stood in front of Mallos, her eyes burning brighter and brighter.

ah? How to use - sharp blade?

Mallos was startled again.

Fortunately. Under the complex eyes of the whole room, Mallos, who was somewhat inexplicable, coughed and took Yingxiang, I understand a little, I understand a little.

Miranda watched him take over the long sword, her eyes moved slightly.

The Flying Eagle is entrusted to you, Tormund Mallos. Miranda looked at him as if he was looking at a prey. I hope that one day, I can ask you for advice.

Under the envious eyes of the whole room, Mallos just felt that something was weird.

When he realized something, he looked at his subordinates.

Thales, who was at the end, naturally raised the book, firmly covering his face.

Miranda looked at the disappointed faces of the others, and suddenly smiled, as if returning to the earth: I know what you are thinking.

And that's why I hate wearing it.

I saw her expression turned cold:

Why, have you never seen a woman?

Everyone was shocked, but Miranda had already turned around and left the room decisively: Don't forget the time!

That... D.D wanted to explain one or two things, but he froze immediately.

He's not the only one, there are others too.

The moment Miranda turned around, an ugly and hideous scar was clearly visible on her smooth back shoulder.

It penetrated from under the light silk, scratched the skin, crossed the shoulders, reached the back of the neck, and then climbed up like a centipede, straight into the hair, and even took away a small piece of hair, exposing the scalp.

Miranda disappeared before her eyes.

But the appearance of that scar, like a heavy hammer hitting the accent, broke Haruhi's intoxicating dream, and also destroyed all the imagined beauty, which was incompatible with the beautiful and elegant dress.

The weapons of the Northlanders, Mallos' voice woke everyone up, will leave such scars.

He lowered his head and touched Yingxiang on the handle, his eyes were no longer the same.

I guess that's not the only one.

Everyone in the room regained their vitality and began to perform their duties, and no one continued to chat.

Wow, Wyah sighed, how did she survive?

You know, that thing, Doyle shrugged, I have it too.

Behind everyone, Thales lowered his eyes and reopened The Record of the Emerald Mystery City.

————

When King Horace and Chief Cork refused to give in to each other, the royal family and Iris were at war, and the kingdom was in critical juncture, a young man went alone and entered the precarious Emerald City.

He resorted to tricks, first joined the Cavendir family's knight competition, and then passed all the way, until the final was lost to the Duke's eldest son, and he also won the respect of his opponents. Do not die with the enemy ranks.

But when the Duke of Cork asked him what reward he wanted at the banquet, the young man threw away his disguise and showed his family crest, which shocked everyone present—the third prince Hyman Canxing came to the Emerald City in person and begged Ke Ke The Duke of Ke and His Majesty the King turned enemies into friends, and the peace remained as before.

Prince Hayman has a handsome appearance, a good conversation, and is also agile and courageous. He also has the guarantee of the Duke's eldest son, which is quite appreciated by the Duke of Cork. But how could the arrogant and stubborn Prime Minister be willing to subdue in front of a brat, he just refused to give an inch in his words, until Hyman, who was polite before fighting, put away his smile, put on a royal demeanor, and showed the same threat as his father:

At the juncture of the banquet, his people had already kidnapped Miss Regina, the jewel in the Duke's hand. If the Duke refused, Kevin Dill's beloved daughter would be decapitated.

The Duke of Cork and his son were furious, and the knights on the south bank were also very angry. The Duke's eldest son personally captured this despicable villain who had humiliated his status as a prince, and forced him to find out where Miss Regina was hiding.

But when the duke and knights who were eager to save the daughter came to the place, they saw Miss Regina standing in front of the house in good condition. She opened the door with a smile, and a puffy, eight-fingered man walked out from inside. An awkward old man wearing a crown.

In the midst of shock and amazement, the eight-fingered king of the stars, Horace I, reluctantly told the Duke of Cork:

He felt that it was indeed inconvenient to lose two fingers.

Looking at His Majesty the King who was standing in front of him, Prince Hayman who was beaten bruised and face, and his daughter who was full of complaints, the Duke of Cork who understood was deeply moved. He threw away his long sword to admit his guilt and helped the king Get on your own mount, then order the city gates to be opened, and use the highest standard of etiquette to welcome the Supreme King into the Emerald City.

In this way, the kingdom reined in from a precipice, and a crisis that could have disastrous consequences was resolved here.
