Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 697 Precarious

This morning, the body of Police Officer Kaguire was found in an alley next to the Canal District Police Hall. His head and body fell on...

In the Kongming Palace, the herald Toledo led the Xinghu guards on full alert and hurried forward, while reporting to Thales with a gloomy face:

Well, in short, the scene is not very good.

Thales was preparing for the election when he received the bad news.

According to the itinerary, the security officer Kaguilei will guide the prince to the venue, but Thales did not wait for Kaguilei, but waited for the Star Lake guards:

Led by Ghost Hugo Fubi and Toledo Herald, Conmuto, Niexi, D.D, Glover, Miranda, Wyatt, Paul, Rolf... dozens of people ( Many of them were even wounded) fully armed and murderous, they rushed into his lounge in a crowd, occupying every corner without any explanation, guarding every passage and locking every window, and put the bewildered second prince It is airtight around the front, back, left, and right sides.

This scene surprised Morgan, Kusta and others who were following the prince in shifts. They almost thought that His Royal Highness, who had been sulking all morning, couldn't hold back the anger of Canxing, and decided to fight back violently, vowing to break through the Kongming Palace. Splashing in the Duke's Mansion, for the iris flower to restore the original, brighten the world of the Emerald City.

These days, Kaguire is always around us regardless of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. He communicates with the guards. Everyone hates dealing with him every day, and he can't get rid of him even if he wants to. Thales looked ugly, but he kept walking, even getting more and more The sooner, As a result, he disappeared for a whole night plus a whole morning, so many of us were happy to be at leisure, and no one found anything wrong?

The whole team of guarding the prince hurried forward, and everyone dared not even breathe out. All they could hear was the rubbing of armor and the rumble of footsteps.

Like clockwork puppets crafted by the dwarves.

In an instant, Thales even had an illusion: he was not in the Kongming Palace.

It was the Fuxing Palace thousands of miles away.

Toledo took a deep breath, caught up with two steps, and pressed his lips tightly:

Your Highness, this is indeed our negligence, and I am duty-bound for this, willing to be punished...

Damn, why is he like this?

I obviously didn't threaten, intimidate, order, or even make a bad voice...

Thales was very upset:

okay,

I'm not blaming you...

I just asked a question and wanted an answer.

That's all.

But why is he so afraid of this, wishing to admit all his mistakes and commit suicide?

Thales exhaled, feeling depressed.

If only Mallos was here.

No, no—he shook his head in denial—if Mallos were here, he would probably respond to him with the most polite but also the most acrimonious rhetoric, choking him speechless, more depressed than now.

But he is not there.

Thinking of this, Thales' heart tightened.

That self-righteous terror blade was carelessly caught in the action of besieging Lausanne II. As a result, his subordinates returned safely, but he himself was seriously injured and lay in bed.

He's not in now.

His most damned captain of the personal guard said that revenge of honor should not be interfered with, and asked the prince to leave first, but in the end...

Mallos isn't awake yet?

The fever has subsided, Your Highness, Itariano's logistics officer replied respectfully and meticulously, but it may be the sequelae of that killer ability. His spirit is very poor, he wakes up and faints, and he recovers a little slower than others Some……

He'll be fine, Hugo the flag bearer interrupted him, undoubtedly, it's just a matter of time.

time.

Thales frowned.

But the election will be imminent, and they are most short of time now.

So, what's the current situation in Emerald City? He forced himself to calm down.

Toledo took a deep breath: The security officer was killed on his own land. It is conceivable that the whole city was fried. The security halls in several large areas were fully mobilized to search for clues. Even the Emerald Legion entered the city in large numbers. , causing panic and rumors all over the sky.”

When the wine merchant and the wool merchant died, I didn't see them so enthusiastic. Glover on the other side snorted coldly.

It's our own people who died, of course it's different. Kong Mutuo replied with experience.

Hmph, human life has its value. Paul sarcastically said.

Six, Huai Ya, who was closely beside Thales, had a serious expression, I have my sixth life.

Damn.

Wyatt's words made Thales very irritated.

And this time - Thales couldn't help but glanced up at the top of his head - maybe even someone couldn't suppress the news.

So what will he do?

There was a group of servants in the corridor who were cleaning and cleaning. Seeing the prince and his party passing by, some of them whispered something. The servants suddenly showed fear, dropped their work and scattered away.

Thales couldn't help frowning at the scene before him.

Then why did His Highness get involved? He also said that His Highness is, the murderer? D.D couldn't help but speak out as he looked at the retreating servants.

Kongmuto, who was behind him, took a good look and coughed: According to what I heard from my friends, Kaguire informed his family yesterday evening that he would not go home at night, but would stay in the police station and work overtime to deal with urgent matters...

A matter of urgency?

Huai Ya couldn't help asking:

What overtime? What's urgent? Is there someone to check it out...

He figured out something halfway through his words, and his voice immediately dropped.

We, Hugo, the flag bearer who was walking in front, took the words with a sullen face, his urgent task is us, to be precise, yesterday afternoon, the chaos after the nobles disappeared in the theater, including the delay and The cover-up, and the subsequent search, and perhaps the follow-up.

The people around fell silent immediately.

You mean, I, the prince said blankly, yesterday, Miss Kevin Dill and I ran away?

No one answered, including the flag officer.

Obviously no need to answer.

Thales exhaled unhappily.

Anyway, the Police Department didn't wait for him, thinking that Kaguire went home for the night by himself, Toledo said cautiously, until the next day...

So, he was killed while working overtime to deal with the prince's affairs, so we are involved. Miranda thought deeply.

That's true. The news first came from the security officer who knew the inside story, and the more it spread, the more absurd it became. Kong Mutuo hesitated, Some people said that His Highness made his own way to visit in disguise yesterday, and acted arbitrarily and recklessly all the way. Kakui Lei finally couldn't take it anymore and wanted to report it to the Duke, so the prince became furious and wanted to kill him...

What? Wyatt couldn't believe it.

Thales also frowned.

It is right to visit Weifu, but...

He just pushed and argued with the gangsters, and at most set off a few big fireworks on the North Gate Bridge. Is this considered domineering and reckless?

Of course, these are all rumors among the people, but there are better versions, Kong Mutuo hurriedly smoothed things over, For example, someone who wanted to assassinate the prince actually missed it and bumped into the card that was in charge of protecting him. Querrey, who was unyielding and died heroically.

Thales frowned, and looked at the Xinghu guards around him. They were lined up and heavily guarded, and it seemed that an assassin would come out of a certain vase at any moment.

Is this version any better?

There is also news that the prince was dissatisfied with Duke Zhan En, so he took care of the bodyguards and tour guides given to him by the Duke, and killed chickens and monkeys to show his majesty.

Thales' expression became even worse, and Kongmuto's smile froze when he stared.

Where did the rumors come from? Are you still serious and well-founded? D.D was stunned when he heard it.

The case has only been reported not long ago, and there are rumors of this level. It's hard to say that no one is behind the scenes to help it, Miranda doubted, But as far as I know, the best in this city is the Blood Bottle Gang, right? But they've...

She glanced at Glover and Rolf.

Some people don't like us and don't want us to stay in Emerald City. Glover snorted coldly.

But why? Huai Ya wondered, Who did it? Why did you frame His Highness?

Thales' nerves tightened.

He probably knows who did it.

but……

It doesn't matter anymore, Thales made a final decision, ending the discussion. At least this time, they didn't say that I killed a certain king or duke—hope not.

Everyone was stunned.

Surrounded by the guards, the second prince walked down the next floor. Their ranks were formidable and imposing, which deterred the spectators and retreated those who saw them.

The Duke of Xinghu didn't speak any more, and the entire guard was silent again, only the disturbing sound of rushing.

There it was again, that feeling.

Feeling the oppression of the people around him, Thales glanced back at the towers and pillars of Kongming Palace.

That kind of feeling of suffocation in the Fuxing Palace, as if locked firmly by endless chains, bewildered and unable to breathe.

And he could only release the suffocation by clenching the bone ring Guertaksa with his nerve pocket.

At this moment, he vaguely heard something behind him, but he couldn't hear it clearly, until Thales frowned and entered the sense of hell.

I'll just say...

In the rear of the team, D.D's breath sounded like a mosquito: There is something wrong with the little brat.

Thales' eyelids twitched.

What brat? Which brat?

Keep your voice down, Wyatt responded in a low voice, cautiously, He died again, His Highness must be in a bad mood.

He doesn't know. Whenever he keeps a cold face and keeps silent, the atmosphere is terrible. You see, everyone is so scared that they don't even dare to breathe...

Hearing this, Thales frowned.

What?

It's not just about Kaguire, Glover's voice cut in. That defender went crazy in front of His Highness, and he feels uncomfortable.

Several people were silent for a while.

But it wasn't his fault, D.D whispered in the queue, I mean, it's not like the kid sent someone to scare him crazy...

Find someone to scare him crazy...

Thales caught his breath.

There's also the Terror Blade.

From the other side Miranda joins their coterie of secret conversations:

Mallos was carried back last night with a persistent high fever. His Highness was also silent the whole time, with a blank expression on his face, but everyone was too scared to speak...

I'll just say...

You guys really keep your voices down, the mute said that His Highness has very good ears... Huai Ya persuaded with a bitter face.

Don't worry, such a long distance...

Thales let out a long sigh.

Emerald City, Zhan En, Fuxing Palace, the King, the masked killer in black, the Blood Bottle Gang, the Six Murders... He was caught in a complicated and confusing situation. From frustrating setbacks to frustrating setbacks, he has enough on his plate.

And D.D, how could he be so happy, and still arrange gossip about his master?

Is it because he knows that he is usually too good to tear up his little puppet bear?

Your Highness saw the appearance of Mallos yesterday, and his expression was very scary, Miranda said in a low voice. In other words, he is willing to go to rest.

No wonder he was in a bad mood. He went to his fiancée early in the morning to quarrel with his future brother-in-law. Of course, his mood would be even worse after the fight. D.D was stunned.

More than that, Wyatt stared at Thales's back, absent-mindedly said, Your Highness slept on...the ground again yesterday.

Thales' eyes changed.

Who is he sleeping on?

Oh, Huai Ya reacted and quickly changed his words, I mean, Your Highness didn't sleep well yesterday.

Tch, I was scared to death. I thought the little brat was finally enlightened and sensible. By the way, has the relationship between him and Miss Shiley changed? When they came back yesterday...

Hearing this, Thales finally couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and scolded angrily:

Are you finished?

The voice of the Duke of Xinghu echoed in the empty palace corridor, stirring up echoes.

Everyone was taken aback, and the Xinghu Guard couldn't help but stop together.

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

very good.

D.D stopped talking too much, he looked straight ahead with a serious face, and Wyatt no longer lost his mind, but waited for the order seriously.

From the old subordinates Wyatt and Rolf, to D.D and Glover in the Star Lake Guard, to the newly promoted Miranda and Paul... no more whispering, no more gossip, no more self-righteousness little tricks.

But everywhere he looked, the guards all bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

In the next second, Toledo trembled and stepped forward cautiously.

Your Highness, what are your orders? Tell me, what are you talking about?

Wait, he's... scared?

[When the majestic Grand Duke stands in front of you, do you know how you feel... Ha, when he blinks your eyelids, your heart will collapse in fright, and when he grins, your legs will tremble... ...Hey, who's to say, who's to say it's not fucking sincere? 】

Thales looked at the other person's appearance, and then looked at the expressions of other people, and suddenly felt dull.

Of course, the Herald of Toledo was afraid—the inner voice said to him.

Don't forget, your words and deeds will have an unpredictable impact.

Those above are confronted with a cold face, while those below are walking on eggshells.

This is the high wall of power.

Thales was silent and did not speak.

This made the Star Lake Guard even more nervous.

Seeing that Thales didn't say a word, Toledo understood something, he took a deep breath:

I'm very sorry, Your Highness, Chief Mallos is not here, it's because I'm not strict...

Who was whispering just now?

The Hugo flag officer interrupted him directly, and turned to the team with a playful expression:

Although it doesn't sound very clear, but, can you stand up yourself? Don't suffer less crimes?

At that second, everyone in the Xinghu guard changed color.

The eyes of D.D in the front row flickered, showing a little panic, while Wyatt looked surprised.

Miranda frowned, Glover still had a stiff expression.

But Thales didn't speak.

He just watched them silently, paying attention to each one's demeanor.

But maybe, maybe being afraid is a good thing?

This will force them to wind up.

Maybe I was too weak before, maybe Mallos was too presumptuous, maybe this is the normal way of getting along between them.

Because you know, one day, they will face a more cruel test - added a small voice in my heart.

is that so?

Tyre watched them silently, and suddenly had an illusion:

This is not the Kongming Palace, but the Ballard Room. Everyone is trembling, paying attention to the man sitting on the main seat in the dark shadows.

Thales looked into the distance, only feeling that the feeling of suffocation became more and more real.

Second only to the bone ring in his pocket.

After a few seconds, he let out a long sigh.

Wyah.

Huai Ya's expression changed, but he finally stood up in the sympathetic eyes of others:

My fault, Your Highness, I just talked too much—

Do you still carry my sword? Thales interrupted him directly.

Huai Ya was stunned for a second before he could react. He hurriedly took off the sword belt on his back, and respectfully presented a sword to Thales.

Thales took the Warner without saying a word, and drew out a blade.

The cold light of the precious ancient imperial sword is still there, making the black gem on the hilt more mysterious and solemn.

It's just that the F under the hilt is still glaring and out of place.

Everyone, I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to cover up my concerns, Thales pushed the blade back into the scabbard, but did not return it to Wyatt, From now on, the situation in Emerald City is in dire straits.

Is it in danger? Huai Ya's eyes widened.

Thales nodded. He tested the weight of the sword, and estimated what style of armed strap should be matched with it if he usually wears it.

At this critical moment, I need you to be prepared, especially when Captain Mallos is not around, he said in a deep voice, Be prepared for everything.

The guards made a small commotion, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Toledo couldn't help but said: But Your Highness, didn't we just solve... that killer yesterday?

Because of this, Thales' expression remained unchanged, we exacerbated the situation and worsened the situation.

It even pushed everyone into a corner, to the end.

What will we face? In whispers, Hugo the flag officer said coldly.

Thales took a look at this ghost flag officer who didn't get along very often.

But there's a reason Mallos chose him and Toledo as his secondaries, right?

Facing what? Kidnapping? Imprisonment? Assassination? To be honest, I don't know.

Every time Thales said a word, Toledo's face turned ugly: Including possible riots, mutinies, civil unrest, and even a palace coup?

His last words surprised everyone.

That, is it worse than when you broke into the palace? Nexi, whose right hand was still wrapped in a bandage, asked cautiously.

Thales glanced at the young vanguard officer, who immediately lowered his head.

And if so?

At that moment, everyone in the guards looked ugly.

Thales looked around everyone: Wyah was worried, Rolf showed disdain, D.D blinked desperately, Glover's expression remained unchanged, Miranda's eyes were cold, and Paul bowed his head in silence...

As for Mallos who is still on the sickbed...

If that step is really reached, how many people here will follow him through thick and thin?

Are they really, ready?

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

A few seconds later, Thales burst out laughing.

just kidding!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Thales' next words made their smiles freeze:

Anyway, breaking into Kongming Palace won't be more difficult than breaking into Fuxing Palace, right?

At this moment, Morgan, who was looking ahead, suddenly gave a loud warning:

Guards on alert! We've got company!

In the next second, the faces of all the guards changed, and everyone instinctively stood up to protect Thales firmly.

only……

What's wrong? What happened? Are we still in Kongming Palace? Thales, who was stopped by Kusta, asked anxiously.

Could it be that he has made a prophecy, that there is really something worse than breaking into the palace?

The scouts and scouts on the Vanguard Wing have strict regulations, Your Highness, Hugo said coldly, staring at the corner leading to the Ancestor Rock ahead, They will not sound a warning just because a cockroach popped out on the road.

The voice fell, and there was a small tremor on the ground.

Everyone tensed up: this is...

In the next second, behind the famous Ancestor Rock in Kongming Palace, one row, two rows, three rows... a whole team of murderous soldiers appeared in sight, and they came to Thales and his party in unison, with rumbling footsteps and helmets on armor.

Unless it's a swarm of cockroaches. Miranda said with a bad expression.

It's not the palace guards, damn it, it's those green hats! The Emerald Legion!

D.D looked at the other party's weapons and armor, dumbfounded: This battle...wasn't the police officer here to pick us up before?

Emerald Legion?

Thales clenched the Vigilant in his hand with a deep expression.

The soldiers of the Emerald Legion were getting closer and closer, and the Star Lake Guard unconsciously gathered their formation, and everyone put their hands on their weapons.

Finally, the Emerald Legion stopped a foot away from them, and a familiar figure emerged from them.

Where is Your Highness Thales?

Thales exhaled, he patted the nervous people around him, and took a few steps forward:

Captain Seychelles, long time no see, I don't know what to do?

The leader of the Emerald Legion, the Seychelles Knight, turned a blind eye to the formation of the Star Lake Guards. He took a step forward, and his eyes seemed to have substance, so that everyone in the guards subconsciously grasped their weapons.

Toledo and Hugo were at the forefront, but under the pressure of the knights in front of them, one of them was sweating profusely, and the other looked dignified.

But Seychelles just glanced at them, didn't care, and looked back at Thales:

For well-known reasons, Your Highness, from now until the end of the Emerald Celebration, your security and travel matters will be fully responsible for you and the Emerald Legion, and will accompany you all the way...

Seychelles deliberately paused, his eyes circled back and forth on the line of the star lake guards full of wounded soldiers, and his words were contemptuous:

Follow me closely.

The guards of Xinghu Lake all changed their faces when they heard the words, and many of them looked unhappy.

Oops, Doyle in the queue faced an emerald sergeant in front of him, and he didn't forget to turn around and say, Did you say that this guy is an extreme...

Shut up, D.D! Wyatt gritted his teeth, but couldn't stop the trembling of his arms.

The Emerald Legion will take care of my security?

Thales spoke before everyone's emotions erupted. He looked at this former mercenary army, thoughtfully:

Is this what Jann meant?

Seychelles snorted.

The duke has something to say, the selection of generals is one of the essences of the ceremony. The purpose is to be brave and brave. Of course, there must be a different style.

The legion knight narrowed his eyes:

And I believe that he will warmly welcome you at the venue.

Thales frowned and couldn't stop thinking.

Oops.

What does jen mean?

I appreciate Jann's kindness, but I'd better...

But it was clear that Seychelles had learned the lesson from last time. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to act, not intending to give Thales any chance:

Everyone, protect the prince, don't let His Highness lose his style!

The Emerald Legion may not be as strong as the royal army under Wrath of the Kingdom, but they are still ordering and prohibiting, and they must immediately press down on them, and they are about to invade the formation of the Star Lake Guard!

As soon as Thales subconsciously clenched the warning, he heard Toledo roar: Star Lake Guard! Star formation!

The guards of Xinghu yelled and responded angrily, forming a formation in twos and ones, their weapons half unsheathed, forcing the Jade Sergeants in the first row to hesitate.

Don't bother, green hat, you just take care of the perimeter and open the way, Hugo, the flag bearer, faced Seychelles, and spoke against the pressure, with sharp eyes, The rest of the matter will be handled by the royal guard.

This is the only way from the main palace to the outer court and ancestor rock. Many servants who passed by saw the confrontation between the two armies and the swords were drawn.

Rejected, Seychelles showed a malicious smile.

Who are you? Where was your boss last time, Mallos?

The knight showed the hilt intentionally or unintentionally:

My weapon misses him.

He's on vacation today. Miranda said coldly on the other side, caressing Yingxiang in her hand.

Seychelles didn't care: So I guess, sick leave?

In the next second, he strode forward!

The unscrupulous aura of the extreme knight shocked the Xinghu guards, and they looked at Thales:

what to do?

Do you want to fight?

What should I do if I can't beat it?

At this moment, another voice broke the situation:

Thales, why did you come here?

Everyone turned their heads in unison:

At the other end of the corridor, the well-dressed Cecilia Cavendir came slowly, accompanied by a team of servants, with burning eyes.

Thales was stunned.

The Xinghu guards beside him looked at each other, and D.D showed a weird smile.

The Seychelles Cavaliers paused in disbelief:

Ms. Hilley?

I actually ran into you, Seychelles, Xi Lai walked up to Thales with an unimaginably graceful gesture, and all the soldiers and guards around him retreated subconsciously, What a boring day!

Xi Lai's eyes were dark, but they brightened up the moment he looked at Thales.

But Thales looked at the lady-like Xi Lai, but couldn't help but think of the weird and terrifying shadow behind her, and Slimani who was tormented by it to the point of madness and dementia.

No.

He's not ready yet.

Ms. Kevin Dill... Thales subconsciously avoided the other party's sight.

Hillary's eyes sharpened.

But before she could speak, the Seychelles knight snorted coldly:

You shouldn't be here, ma'am, His Excellency has ordered—

But Hillary ignored him, instead she smiled perfectly, and stretched out her hand to Thales with ease, the carefully embroidered iris pattern on the glove was vivid.

Let's go, Your Highness. Her tone was too gentle, which made Thales extremely uncomfortable. The performance of the general election is very exciting, and I don't want you to miss it.

Seychelles was choked and looked unhappy.

Thales was stunned. He looked at the murderous knight and the beautiful and gentle lady, and couldn't tell who was more terrifying for a moment.

Until Xilei opened her lips and smiled:

You're still brooding over what happened yesterday, aren't you?

What happened yesterday?

what's up?

As soon as this remark came out, Glover, Rolf, Miranda... all had strange expressions without exception.

Only Huai Ya and D.D looked at each other, the former didn't know why, and the latter smiled mysteriously.

Thales' expression changed slightly, and he immediately penetrated the confusion of weapons, clothing and other foreign objects, and identified who was the top predator in the Kongming Palace.

Knight of Seychelles, please have your people escort me, His Royal Highness smiled at Xi Lai, and walked towards Seychelles instead, signaling, It's time for me to go to the venue.

The attitude is submissive and polite.

Um, of course, Your Highness, please... Seychelles and his subordinates were not used to this.

But before he had time to lament that today's task was completed more easily than expected, he saw Xilai next to him raised his eyebrows:

Oh, Your Highness, your cruelty really hurts me. Is this revenge on me? You think it's my fault that we didn't get things done yesterday?

Nothing?

thing?

This time, including the Emerald Legion, the Star Lake Guard, and the servants behind Hilley, everyone looked at Thales in unison.

The second prince's complexion changed again.

Yesterday was... an accident. He glanced nervously at the people around him, trying to clear up the misunderstanding, even if the latter were confused (or surprised), and there were so many people present yesterday, no one I should be blamed. Well, I have to go to the appointment...

See Xilai sneered:

Really, Your Highness? We are together hand in hand, and what we have experienced will be unforgettable for a lifetime, but you are really so heartless?

Unforgettable...

Oops.

Everyone's suspicious eyes gave Thales a headache.

Uh, does your Highness need our help... Huai Ya hesitated.

Don't be stupid, D.D grabbed him, with a mysterious tone like someone who had experienced it, housework.

But fortunately, at this embarrassing moment, the Seychelles knight next to him spoke:

Ma'am, I have an order from the Duke to protect the prince to go to the election site. If you keep delaying and hindering me, it will be very difficult for me to do so.

His tone was resolute, and his posture was unconcerned.

This made Thales feel that the knight was much more pleasing to the eye.

Really, Xi Lai's smile continued, It's hard to do? Why don't you resign?

Seychelles' expression faltered.

In the next second, an angry expression appeared on his face:

Ma'am, if you are more willful, then I will have no choice.

For example?

Seychelles' eyes sharpened, and he strode towards Xi Lai!

Thales was startled, and subconsciously stood in front of Xi Lai: Hey, let's talk...

Seeing the master's action, both the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion moved subconsciously and squeezed towards the middle, trying to stop each other, and the situation became chaotic again for a while!

But right now.

Stop. It was an unfamiliar voice, which spread out among the crowd, but made everyone subconsciously pause.

In the next second, a vicissitudes of life and thin figure came out from the rank of servants of Xi Lai, clearly unhurried, but miraculously squeezed through everyone, and instantly stood in front of Seychelles, blocking his way.

Everyone was stunned: the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared was a middle-aged man with a sword, his hair was disheveled, his face was full of stubble, his armor was old, and even the sword at his waist was full of rust.

Who are you……

Seychelles frowned and looked at the sloppy dressed man who was out of place with the surroundings.

A few seconds later, surprise appeared in his eyes:

Cassien?

The scruffy man named Cassian had a sickly look on his face. He smiled slightly, but performed a standard knight salute:

Seychelles.

ah? who?

The Xinghu guards were puzzled.

Who is this? It looks... a bit dirty. D.D narrowed his eyes

Indeed, Miranda looked solemnly at the new man, but pay attention: Seychelles' eyes are different, he's serious.

Strange, Glover gritted his teeth, I can't feel the murderous intent on him, but...

I know who he is, Hugo the flag bearer said with a blank expression on his face, Be careful, this is an extreme master, a man from Iris, he has competed with Chief Staley when he was still in the capital, and he is only slightly inferior.

Everyone was stunned.

In contrast, the sergeants of the Emerald Legion broke out in commotion when they heard Cassien's name. Many people looked at each other and whispered.

Seychelles pressed the hilt of the sword, fearful:

I thought you resigned, old friend, and no longer served the Emerald City.

That's right, Knight of Seychelles, Cassian said with a tired look on his face. He looked at Hille and sighed, but just like you, the iris flower's hospitality is hard to resist.

Seychelles and Cassian faced each other silently, one side was well-equipped and majestic, while the other was sloppy, rough and tired.

But for some reason, Thales vaguely felt that they were evenly matched.

The prince cast a puzzled look at Xi Lai, but Miss Kevin Dill just snorted softly, ignored the confrontation between the two, and took the prince's arm smoothly:

Let's go.

Thales was taken aback, and under the eyes of countless people who were surprised at first, and then saw nothing at all, he struggled hard:

etc!

Thales took a deep breath, and tried not to think about the soul bone Jacques behind Xi Lai who could change into various forms:

Look, maybe we shouldn't...

But Xi Lai didn't move with a smile, but pulled Thales towards him without any resistance, and then pressed close to the latter's ear:

If you dare to show my face again, boy, I swear, no matter how many people around are watching, I will f*ck beat you out of the shit!

Such a threat made Thales tremble all over.

The prince swallowed his throat, his eyelids twitched, and had no choice but to turn around and whisper:

Hey Lai, well, to be honest, the current situation is quite complicated, and our best response is to act independently, lest both of us...

Hilley's eyes sharpened!

Thals Canxing!

In the next second, Miss Kevin Dill suddenly pushed Thales away!

She raised her volume, first she spoke harshly, and then she broke her heart:

Unfeeling like you, have you really forgotten what I did for you yesterday!

Maybe it's because the atmosphere is too awkward, maybe it's because the acting skills are really superb, or maybe it's because the topic is too explosive. For a while, no matter the Star Lake Guard or the Jade Legion, whether Cassian or Seychelles, under the ancestral rock of Kongming Palace, everyone Everyone's attention was attracted, and they all looked at the most noble two in the field.

Thales was surprised: I—

Do you remember? You want to renege on your debt?

Xi Lai's pear blossoms were tearful and distressing: For you, I even drank that medicine for you!

Huh?

Including the servants and messengers who stretched their necks to watch from a distance, everyone looked at Xi Lai in amazement and curiosity:

What medicine?

Xi Lai lived up to expectations, and her crying reached a climax:

Yes, birth control pills!

At that second, Thales instantly petrified.

The entire Kongming Palace was quiet.

ah!

A few seconds later, everyone looked at Thales in horror and disgust:

That medicine!

I……

Thales endured the horrifying eyes of the people around him, including his own, and couldn't explain it:

No! That's not a birth control pill! It's just for recovery...and we all drank it...

That's right! Hillary interrupted him.

The teary-eyed girl lowered her head and wiped her face, and forcefully wiped two water marks on her well-made face, which shocked the maid behind her:

But I don't mind!

Thales couldn't believe it, he looked at the vicious woman in front of him angrily and pitifully:

No, stop talking, okay? Let's come down and communicate...

But Shirley didn't care: I don't mind! I don't even mind that you have to drink that drug to make things happen!

Huh?

Everyone looked at Thales suspiciously and thoughtfully:

What medicine?

I saw Xi Lai sniffed and said in a trembling voice:

Yes, do you still remember, the bottle that restores physical strength—the aphrodisiac?

The surroundings became quiet again.

ah!

A few seconds later, everyone suddenly realized and looked at Thales gloatingly:

That medicine!

Thales was numb on the spot, and he stood beside Xi Lai in a daze, his feet stuck in his shoes unconsciously, barely supporting his empty figure.

You...no...I...she...no...don't...

Only the lips twitched.

The autumn wind blows, and the Kongming Palace is completely empty at this time.

So, from this point of view, Xi Lai stopped crying, her eyes full of hope, can't you accommodate me a bit?

Several seconds passed, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Among the two people who were facing each other in a thrilling manner, Seychelles also recovered from the inexplicable horror, and subconsciously said:

Ma'am, Your Highness, but...

Miss Kevin Dill raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and put one hand on her hip:

Why, are you also curious and want to know what happened to me and him yesterday?

Seychelles was surprised:

When, of course not, it's just...

The Seychelles knight, who is highly skilled in martial arts, was very embarrassed. He had already retreated steadily, and he had no power to parry, let alone fight back.

But Xi Lai continued to attack, she pulled Thales with a numb face, and continued to chase and kill everyone until the whole battlefield was bloody:

Okay, let me describe the details to you: yesterday we two sneaked out, and when we were sweating profusely in a small room... Ah! He suddenly failed! Then I, I had to give He took the medicine, and he got up again, but, ah, then, and then I couldn't! Then we had to...

Miss Hilley!

Cassian suddenly yelled and interrupted Hille.

It also saved the precarious battlefield.

With their eyes closed, the Seychelles knight, who wished to be deaf on the spot, and all the other people present breathed a sigh of relief and retreated hastily from the battlefield.

Please, please, Your Royal Highness, let's go now.

The Seychelles captain glanced at his old friend in pain, and waved his hand weakly: Emerald Legion, let's take care of the periphery, let it go, let it go...

As for Thales, well, the wise and powerful Polaris has already died heroically, and his name is engraved on the spectrum of martyrs.

Only a numb corpse was left behind, and it was won the epic victory and captured countless Shi Lai as spoils of war, dragged majestically and vigorously, away from this bloody and messy battlefield full of corpses.

The Xinghu guards who had also been stunned for a long time finally woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed the prince's walking corpse.

In this way, the original tense situation disappeared, and everyone dragged their feet and scattered, or left the scene dull, or left the scene with unfinished ideas.

Among the figures, only Seychelles and Cassian remained motionless.

Cassian looked at the direction where Xi Lai was leaving, and sneered, as if mocking himself: It seems that it is more difficult to deal with than before.

But Seychelles' expression sank.

Why, Seychelles said to his old friend in a deep voice, since the long sword has been put down, why bother to return to the battlefield?

Cassian was silent.

Why bother, the sloppy middle-aged swordsman responded with a smile. He looked at the opponent's saber.

The two were silent again for a while.

A few seconds later, Cassian nodded to Seychelles and left without hesitation: Old friend.

Seychelles looked at Cassian's back, nodded and hummed softly:

Sir.

After leaving the Kongming Palace, Thales came back from his trance and swallowed hard when everyone was stupefied and shocked.

He looked at Xi Lai, who was smiling gently beside him, and felt that there was nothing in front of him.

The prince turned his head dumbly, forced a smile with difficulty, and faced the subordinates of the guard:

Well, big guy, what she said just now is actually...

No one answered.

Thales' eyelids twitched, and his smile was complicated: In short, you all know me...

I didn't hear anything!

In the silence, D.D suddenly shouted loudly, which startled everyone!

Thales was taken aback.

ah?

I saw D.D scanning his colleagues with a majestic face, his eyes were sharp and terrifying.

Starting from Toledo, the Star Lake guards only hesitated for a moment, and immediately responded one after another:

Um, yes!

That's right!

Didn't hear it!

Didn't hear anything?

Didn't hear anything?

What didn't you hear?

I'm deaf!

I'm deaf and blind!

What did you say?

What just happened?

I just went to the bathroom!

I have diarrhea! It's been a quarter of an hour!

At that moment, Guard Officer Doyle discovered that he had gained a majesty in the Star Lake Guard that even the watchman Mallos had never had, and he might never have it again in the future.

Look everywhere, don't dare not follow.

Finally, D.D nodded in satisfaction after looking around, then he turned to Thales and blinked obsequiously.

how?

Thales' expression, on the other hand, had already changed from panic and panic at the beginning to insensitivity.

Only Xi Lai, who was beside him, was smiling like a flower, and never lost it.

Really, what a bold girl...

With lingering fears in his heart, Huai Ya looked at His Royal Highness who was expressionless and limping away with a look of horror on his face:

Who can stand up to this offensive.

Miranda recovered from the shock just now, and smiled softly:

Sometimes, I quite envy her, she is so free and unfettered.

Don't mind, D.D turned his head and said, You're not bad, Sword of Neverwinter? I've heard from Cohen that you have a lot of love history, and you have a pretty face in the capital... um!

Miranda retracted her elbow lightly, as if she had practiced the movement a long time ago and was extremely proficient.

However, the public's attitude is so public that it attracts people's daydreams and discussions, and everyone's words can make money, Paul Bozdoff followed from behind, and he stared ahead with complicated eyes. For the sake of reputation, she may only marry His Royal Highness Thales.

Of course, this may be the trick of Iris, using public opinion to force the royal family to marry Kevin Dill's blood, and then use the power of in-laws to operate behind the scenes to obtain...

Paji!

Paul frowned. He looked down: it was a pie bag that had just been emptied.

If you really think so, little silly lion...

Paul looked at the owner of the bag with uneasy eyes:

small what?

I saw D.D chewing the almond pie in his mouth, looking at the backs of Thales and Xilai with a smile, showing somewhat unusual complex emotions:

Then you will underestimate her.

Doyle left without saying a word, leaving behind a surprised and puzzled Paul and a thoughtful Miranda.
