Kingdom’s Bloodline

Very well, let's talk about it, and things will be much simpler.

Behind the desk, Thales applauded lightly:

Miss Karabyan, let's discuss a business.

Kaisha and Qina looked at each other, and hummed softly behind the black folding fan:

You want us to stop here?

Give up the confrontation and help you tame the Emerald City?

So that you can depose Master Zhan En?

A decent coup to seize power?

The demon twins waved their folding fans back and forth, with cruel expressions on their faces:

Chop up the iris again.

Knead Kongming Palace flat and round.

The wealth on the south bank belongs to the imperial funds.

The prosperity of the emerald is gone?

One sentence per person, finish what I want to say, Thales opened his arms and smiled softly, That's what I like about you.

The two sisters sneered together, shook their hands, and turned the black fan again!

What is depicted on the fan is a more obscure and obscene dialect:

[Lean back against the wood and lean on the lazy sleep. 】

[Ji Beng Jia plug driving chicken wheat. 】

Two fans are put together, and a short sentence is formed next to each other:

【Yaoshou Girl】

Thales looked at it for a long time but didn't understand.

What does it mean?

Kai'Sa smiled all over her face:

Dialect. It means that your Highness speaks really well.

Qina's eyes sparkled:

It just flatters us.

oh,

Thank you, Thales couldn't help frowning, but he didn't want to delve into it, Then what's your answer?

Impossible. Kai'Sa refused.

It's unrealistic. Qina sneered.

Thales raised his eyebrows.

You know, we spent so much hard work and little money... Kai'Sa narrowed her eyes.

Just to dismantle this pile of building blocks called Emerald City, which is crumbling... Qina focused on picking her nails.

And now we're going to put it all back together?

How many shadows and holes, regrets and disappointments should we leave in our hearts?

Thales sighed and leaned back in the chair.

I haven't had time to report to the Fuxing Palace about you acting in the middle and obstructing the Emerald City, he said in a deep voice. You must know that your brother is in the capital, and he is suspended for self-reflection because of the ban on breaking into the palace.

The two sisters didn't change their faces as Thales expected, but their eyes were slightly cold.

Oh, that's thanks to you!

The most filial prince in the world!

Thales raised his eyes:

Then let me ask again: What is your answer?

The twins looked at each other, firmly:

No!

Thales frowned.

Go ahead and report to His Majesty!

And tell us the result?

It's better to leave a whole body for the stupid brother!

At least the kind you can sew with thread!

Thales couldn't help frowning in front of the two girls who were smiling brighter and brighter.

You, are you really Cohen's sister, biological sister?

The two girls exchanged glances, covered their mouths and smiled:

Of course it is!

It's just in front of the family...

Kaisha closed her smile, and her tone became cold:

Individuals don't matter at all.

Qina snorted coldly:

Even if it's the heir of the family.

Besides, Karabyan is willing to let the heir stay in the capital, under the eyes of the Fuxing Palace. Doesn't that explain the problem?

It's like you are staying in Dragon Clouds City.

Whether it was the content of the last sentence or the cruel meaning in the words, Thales' mood sank.

It seems that I guessed wrong before.

Thales came back to his senses and let out a long sigh:

You didn't come to the Emerald City to wipe your butt for Cohen breaking into the palace.

He looked seriously at the two girls whose smiles were getting colder.

What you, or the Karabyan family really care about is the political game between Fuxing Palace and Kongming Palace, Yongxing City and Emerald City, which is related to the future of the kingdom itself.

Kaisha and Qina didn't speak.

Thales continued:

What the Karabyan family is really worried about is: If you don't come this time, if you don't participate in this coup d'état that sweeps across the south bank and affects the structure of the stars, then no matter what the result is, the twin towers and long swords in the south bank may not be able to take a single step.

Thales said with disdain:

Cohen Karabyan is at best an addition to this goal, right?

The two sisters sneered.

He's Timing...

You are not.

Thales' expression changed:

What's the meaning?

The two Miss Karabyan exchanged glances.

This is the end of the matter, Xiao Taitai, the Emerald City is out of control and out of control, going from bad to worse, one chain after another.

But you are determined to go your own way. You want to go against all opinions and convict Zhan En in order to replace the Duke.

Things can only get worse and worse.

Even more irreparable.

The people who are dissatisfied with you are definitely not only the ugly Xi Lai, and it is definitely not only Karabyan who is secretly working hard.

There will be people from all walks of life who will resist you, at least you will be disgusted by the yin and the yang.

The situation is getting worse, and those who support you will inevitably start to question it.

More people just fled.

At least it's incoherent.

And there's nothing you can do.

I can only sit and watch the prosperity and silence.

People's lives are dying.

Let alone take down the South Bank, fill the treasury, and win back His Majesty's trust.

Expand the royal power, increase the prestige, and lay a solid foundation for your own throne?

Thales was silent, frowning more and more as he listened.

Kaisha and Qina both smiled, and changed their tone:

But now, instead of thinking of a perfect solution, you are grabbing at the details and trying to shirk responsibility?

Blame all the faults of my ineffective governance on the lower-level vassals?

Even to sue the imperial court, take our stupid brother, and threaten others' weakness?

If you lose a fight, you go to your parents? If you can't fight, you go to your parents?

Sister Karabyan sneered:

It doesn't matter whether our brother dies or not...

It's no big deal that Karabyan suffers...

However, it will destroy His Majesty Kessel's little trust in you.

Let the entire kingdom know that their heirs to the throne are weak and incompetent, so they don't deserve it.

He is a little dandy who shirks responsibility, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is useless without the Fuxing Palace and nepotism.

He's still a self-willed little trash who can turn a wealthy town into ruins by scraping the ground three feet away.

The sweet and gentle voices of the two ladies just fell.

Damn.

After listening to this reassuring analysis, Thales had to close his eyes and gently rubbed his forehead.

It's no use threatening them.

The voice in Thales' heart calmly analyzed:

They know that you are not safe from yourself.

The prerequisite for you to make them unlucky is that you are unlucky first.

So... what should he do?

That's right, very sharp and realistic, Thales sighed, I'm sorry, but I really want to ask one more question: Are you two really Cohen's sister?

Kai'Sa and Qina smiled at each other, and looked at Thales tenderly.

Then little Taitai, are you really the powerful Duke of Xinghu?

The unshakable heir to the throne?

The heroic blood descendant of the Star?

The son of the iron-fisted king?

Kasha smiled and said:

Really blood gold?

Qina licked her lips curiously:

Glittering in the sun?

Thales couldn't help laughing.

The two ladies also covered their mouths and smiled.

As if this was nothing more than an ordinary gossip.

How can there be any swords and swords, and people's hearts are sinister?

Then why is it Jen?

The two girls smiled like flowers: Excuse me?

I mean, I'm curious, Thales raised his chin with a solemn expression, During this political storm, why do you all want to be loyal to Zhan En, stand on the side of Iris, and even go out of the way yourself, taking risks and troubles?

Kai'Sa and Qina Qiqi were taken aback.

But they responded very quickly and did not leak:

Why do you ask?

Isn't that obvious?

The eyes of the two people brightened, and they danced:

Master Zhan En is the Duke of South Bank, the lord of Emerald City.

Kongming Palace is in power, the owner of Iris Flower, the important minister of the kingdom!

Our family friend.

Loyal political blood alliance!

It's better because of friendship.

Don't die with the enemy!

Naturally we have to stand together.

Resist foreign aggression!

If we want to betray him... Kaisha dragged her voice and looked at Qina.

Need to add money? Thales said suddenly.

The twins, who were originally singing together, froze immediately after this interruption.

Add what?

what money?

Sorry, Thales waved his hand to hold back a smile, There's a certain joke in Xihuang, don't worry about it.

The two Karabyans looked at each other and frowned.

Not good, sister.

Qina turned her head, hid her face behind the folding fan, and spoke in a low voice.

He's learning to disrupt our rhythm.

Kaisha raised her fan to cover her chin and nodded.

What can I do?

I have to use all the skills in the vocal music class...

You know, Thales chuckled and raised the volume, I can hear you...

Kasachina raised her head abruptly, exasperated:

we know!!!

Thales didn't look annoyed, and said softly: But he can't.

Who can't?

What doesn't work?

Jane Kevin Dill, if the condition he asks for your cooperation is to marry Karabyan...

Thales took a deep breath and said seriously:

Trust me, he can't.

The aggressive twins were taken aback when they heard the words:

What can't he do?

What can't he do?

Kai'Sa and Qina's complexions changed slightly, but they reacted very quickly. One of them held their hands together in surprise, and the other covered their faces in embarrassment:

Hey! Oh, what are you talking about...

How can I say this in front of the girl's house...

Don't tell people's sincere wishes!

What if it doesn't work...

Girls should be reserved, shy and beautiful...

Especially in front of marriage...

Thales sighed:

Believe me, he won't be a good husband.

It was quiet again in the study.

Kai'Sa and Qina looked at each other with contempt and disdain.

what did he say?

He said Master Zhan En is not a good husband?

The two sisters burst into ironic laughter:

How can it be!

Your Excellency the Duke will obviously pay less and more money next year!

The prime of life!

High position and weight!

The world is rich!

He also has a good father...

Especially with a good father...

The best dad...

His father is dead, Thales said blankly, Jane lost power because of this.

That's why he is a good father!

Sometimes the dead dad is the best dad!

Thales frowned fiercely.

But I'm sure that Jen will never die early after marriage, so that you will become rich, entitled and titled duke widows, wealthy widows without being controlled by your husband.

Kaisha and Qina's coquettish laughter suddenly stopped.

That's right, I've heard your gossip these days, Thales shrugged, especially the part about your husband's early death and you wanting to be widows...

Thales paused, his eyes flickering.

But as I said, I heard it and listened to it, but Jen can't. He won't hear it, and he won't understand it.

At that moment, the two sisters looked at Thales differently.

I saw them looking at each other and smiling.

Oh, my husband died early...that was just an angry remark!

Courtesy words!

Don't take it seriously...

Don't take it too seriously!

Thales interrupted them coldly:

But based on what I know about Zhan En, if he marries you, he won't die early and let you take advantage...

The two Miss Karabyan smiled slightly.

Thales became serious:

Probably will also drain all the value from your dowry reputation, natal family's influence, camp position, and even the birth of offspring. If you have any desire to covet it, I will give you two one-way tickets for traveling on the high seas. When it's over, he can turn into a perfect widower with snot and tears, and then subtly manipulate the reputation, making people feel that all the faults are on the dead wife, and he is just a good man with affection and a good responsible parent. A good husband forever.

The smiles of the sisters faded away.

Thales added softly:

Deception, utilization, defense, restraint, destruction... just like what he did to his subordinates, to his servants, to his opponents who wanted to get rid of them quickly, and even to some allies—such as Karabyan?

Thales took a deep breath and looked at the expressionless sisters:

Of course, it must be that... you all knew this beforehand?

The study was quiet for a few seconds.

I saw Kasha Karabyan snorted coldly, she sat back, pulled up her skirt, and crossed her legs in an indecent posture.

Zena Karabyan leaned on the armrest in the same slouchy way.

Regardless of Kaisha or Qina, the smiles on their faces have long since disappeared.

It seems that you really understand him. Kai'Sa said coldly.

Maybe you are more suitable to marry him? Qina sarcastically said.

Compared with before, their voices became deep and cold, no longer sweet and cute.

The gags and funny humor all disappeared at this moment.

In that case, Thales smiled slightly, do you still want him to be your husband?

At that moment, the three people in the study looked at each other and remained silent.

Actually, Kai'Sa sneered and shook her head, we don't need a husband at all.

Compared with before, their voices became deep and cold, no longer sweet and lovely.

It's just that this world needs us to have a husband. Qina said with a blank expression.

The gags and funny humor all disappeared at this moment.

At least act like you need a husband.

That's why we need a husband who dies early.

To make the world think we have a husband.

At least 'had' a husband.

The twins hummed together:

Are you satisfied?

That's right. Facing their stern expressions, Thales relaxed a lot and was no longer cramped, But in history, Kevin Dill and Calabyan, who were both on the south bank, were in the same family and married many times. very tight...

Don't worry, Your Highness, Kai'Sa said softly, but there was no doubt about it, This time, in our cooperation with Emerald City, there is no such thing as marriage.

Don't be jealous, little Taitai, you still have a chance to win love. Qina said coldly.

The twins stared at Thales, as if they wanted to eat him.

Thales nodded after hearing this, and pondered for a moment.

Oh, that's good, but don't you really think about it? If you want to cooperate with Zhan En, marriage may be a guarantee for both parties...

That's enough, Your Highness, don't bother to spy any more.

Kai'Sa said coldly, interrupting the topic: About why the Karabyan family cooperates with the Duke...

Since Your Highness has found us, Qina snorted, shouldn't you be aware of it?

Oh? Please explain it to me?

Thales put his hands together in a friendly manner, signaling him to listen carefully.

Kasha sneered and said:

We and Kevin Dill are not just geographically close.

Qina clicked her tongue:

It's not just the family tree that is tightly connected.

The twins seem to have a tacit understanding. Even when they are serious about business, they can talk to each other one after the other, almost like one person:

For so many years, the Emerald City has been prosperous and prosperous, and the South Bank Territory is rich and prosperous.

And Walla led the east wind and soared upward.

It all depends on the Kongming Palace's consolidation from generation to generation and the reform and new policies that are widely spread on the south bank.

The governance system is becoming more and more perfect, and the foundation of the commercial market is becoming more and more stable.

Yes, I've heard about it, Thales nodded, Since Federico the Parrot laid the foundation, the South Bank collar has been consistent. It has developed steadily for a hundred years, with few repetitions, until now.

A role model for the stars.

Sister Karabyan snorted coldly and continued:

Then you should know that the food and clothing business we rely on, the livelihood of the industry...

Support and rely on our old disciples, partners and allies...

It has already taken root in the soil reclaimed by the Emerald City.

The body is supported by the rhizomes extended by the iris.

Agriculture, artisan work, business group trade, all rely on it.

Law and politics, territorial management, are all interlinked.

Even the common people in our own fief...

Even this handmade uniform on your body...

Thales' expression froze, and he looked down at the clothes on his body.

Kai'Sa waved her sleeves:

The current situation, of course we can fall to your side.

Qina snapped her fingers:

Help you replace Kevin Dill and take Emerald City.

Even to replace it, to enter the Kongming Palace, the twin towers and long swords must be tried.

From now on, we will attract the power from outside the royal family, the power from the capital, and change the government of Kongming Palace...

Nan'an's leadership has changed drastically overnight, shaking the foundation of governance, and that will be death...

They changed the subject, vigilant and apprehensive:

Lifting stones and smashing feet!

Thales frowned.

The royal power, the power of the capital, he thought of all kinds of people in the royal banquet, and he couldn't help muttering, Are they so scary?

Scary? Kai'Sa smiled sarcastically, Your Highness, what do you think about the Emerald City that makes the capital jealous? Is it just that people are stupid and have a lot of money?

In other words, what exactly is Emerald City doing better than the king? To be smart? To make people jealous?

Thales raised his eyebrows.

Only to hear Qina sneer and say:

You have never had serious dealings with your family, or even the public and private figures, officials, merchants and subordinates around the royal capital, have you?

Or, it's all about you raising your eyebrows, and they just nodded and bowed down to serve tea and water?

Taylor's eyes moved: How to say?

Kasha sneered and said:

Let's put it this way, for a long time, if the merchants under our hands want to go through the central leadership, the business must rely on Eternal Star City...

Qina snorted coldly:

That means twice the cost expenditure, most of which are spent on management along the way, contributing from top to bottom.

Open up the door, advance layer by layer, and clear the relationship-the premise is that you still have relationships.

Especially in lucrative businesses, a few regulations, a few market officials, and a few government-business collusions can make us lose everything.

One back and one back, one out and one in, going east and west to Muhe and selling it to Eternal Star City is more laborious than crossing the ocean to the Far East Shenglin City!

He's in charge of the world, he's messing around, and he's making a lot of money!

It's not bad, but the premise is that all you meet are officials who collect money for work, and merchants who sign for money...

But if you don't do anything after receiving money, if you want to do something, you have to pay again. All the way empty-handed, you will be bankrupt until you can't stand it...

That's more than that. If you encounter tough backers, ruthless hearts, and black subordinates, you won't be satisfied with just receiving filial piety...

Never force you to accept their 'technical shares', appoint their people to 'residence guidance', give them 'channel dividends', or even bullshit 'cooperative management'...

Or worse, after turning into a business group business with prefixes of 'Wang Family' and 'State-owned' or even 'Star', well, the door is established, and no competitors dare to look up at you...

But the business itself is rotten! The filial piety is more than the net profit, the small bosses are more than the clerks, the people who take advantage of pits and collect more money than the part-time workers, and the ones who point fingers are more than those who work hard...

Barely operating, insolvency, within a few years, this business will fail, all peers will be squeezed out, profits will be unable to start, and the business group will be miserable. In the end, it will be broken up, and maybe it will owe dividends to all parties!

Investors, operators, upstream and downstream, buyers and sellers, and even the industry environment, public funds and national treasury, none of them can make good money...

Thales felt heavy when he heard that.

The two sisters gritted their teeth.

The relatives and children who have only fattened up countless nobles in the capital, eat a lot of food, have a lot of fat in their stomachs, and all of them think that they are the pillars of the country, looking for ways for the national economy and the people's livelihood, building a foundation, working hard, contributing a lot, and their political achievements are shining...

The industry is scarce, and they will fly away like locusts, and fly to other places to eat others...

Wait until someone works hard to start from scratch, and then get the business back...

They—or their relatives and children who changed a wave of people, flew back again, and repeated...

Thales was silent for a while.

You must be suspected of exaggeration. In fact, I have heard similar complaints, but that is, Tellston said for a moment, they are Commus people, including people of insight within Exeter They complain about the Kingdom of Exeter, but they don't have such a complaint about the Kingdom of Stars...

Naturally! Kai'Sa interrupted him.

That's how the Kangmasi people themselves started their businesses. They know the way too well, and they have a good relationship with the nobles of the royal capital!

Foreign capital, domestic dignitaries, and absolute power, the three are a perfect match!

It's hard for Xingchen not to make the country rich and the people strong! Qina sarcastically said.

Thales sighed:

This situation, the king, and the princes in the imperial meeting don't know?

The king? The emperor?

Whose pocket do you think the money went into?

Whose family's relatives and children, whose family's descendants?

Up to the royal charter, down to the petty servants!

Everyone collects money, and there are relatives everywhere. Who dares to think and who is willing to take the lead and expose such a thing?

Donkeys and horses share the same trough, and go up and down on the same road. Who can handle this matter without getting dirty or worrying?

Someone wants to, but can he?

Some people can, but does he want to?

Thales sighed.

In Emerald City, the rules have been passed down for generations. If you can find Judge Brennan for such a thing, even the Duke himself must obey the law and spit out everything he eats!

Who can I turn to in the king? Look for the judge? Who doesn't know that their close relatives are deeply involved in the promotion, and everything depends on the faces of 'relatives'? Look for Prime Minister Cullen? He is not only swaying and muddy in politics. What else can Andre do other than make money? Looking for His Majesty the King? He has to worry about the country's major affairs and the stars' rejuvenation, and even his son asked him to act like a baby and ask for money, and he was almost cut off with a knife!

Maybe... maybe because the Dukes of Iris know.

Thales was silent, only the voice in his heart whispered:

They knew that if they act recklessly, if they do what they want, if they don't obediently abide by the law, then one day, they who destroyed the Great Wall will be eaten by big fish from the capital with bigger appetites.

But those big fish—the supreme kings of the stars of all ages, if they do what they want...

In the Kingdom of Stars, where is there a bigger fish that can eat the Fuxing Palace and make the kings afraid?

bigger fish.

But Thales immediately remembered the Bloody Year, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

I see.

Thales sighed:

More than a century ago, the new policy of the virtuous monarch promoted the officials regardless of their background, eliminated the disadvantages and reformed...

There are only disadvantages, Kai'Sa sarcastically said, But there are more mouths to eat and more hands to stretch out...

These civil servants who have been admitted all the way, and then climbed up all the way, are much smarter than the stupid relatives of noble families! Qina said angrily.

No matter how new or good the furniture is, it will eventually accumulate dust and become old, Thales said in a deep voice, It seems that the successors of Mendis III have not followed his expectations and let the system he left behind Continuing and running healthy...

However, the development of the kingdom is uneven, and there are many contradictions from top to bottom...

On the contrary, it is a corner of the kingdom, which is ridiculed as parrot parrot. Its status and size are not as good as the Emerald City of Yongxing City. family……

Do you understand now?

Just listen to the twins say coldly:

Thanks to you, we may be able to win the favor of the prince for a while, Your Majesty favors us.

However, do you want the South'an leader to become like this, destroying the foundation of several generations of rule and wealth accumulation?

Your crown is secure.

Our stool legs have collapsed!

Then you will send us a certificate of commendation?

Send a letter 'Prince Thales sincerely thanks'?

It's better to give me a love letter, let us be your maid, lover, confidante...

Embrace left and right, sing and sing every night?

The two sisters were sarcastic, making Thales frown.

Therefore……

Although the royal family holds great power, it is invincible.

Overbearing and tyrannical, no opposition is allowed.

But for the fields in front of the house and the livelihood of the family, it is orphans and widows...

Qina's ending sound was impassioned, and Kaisha flicked the folding fan cooperatively:

I will do my best...

Fight back!

The voices of the two sisters fell, and Thales was silent for a long time.

So, the prince said quietly, cooperating with Zhan En to protect the Emerald City is the choice of the Karabyan family out of interests and positions.

Kai'Sa and Qina looked at each other, nodded slowly:

This is a fact.

It's also a reality.

The situation is like this.

The general trend.

Of course.

It's just and right.

Well, it sounds like it is an unsolvable problem, and the nobles on the South Bank will not compromise anyway.

Facing the two sisters who were in a good mood, as if they were winning, Thales nodded thoughtfully:

But why so late?

What?

What's late?

Thales let out a breath.

I'm asking, since the interests are the same, the positions are the same, and you are determined to resist the royal family, why didn't you help earlier?

The faces of the two sisters changed slightly.

Why don't you cooperate with Kevin Dill before the general election, frame the blame, throw dirty water or something, and drive me back to the capital early, so as to prevent problems before they happen?

Thales shrugged and spread his hands:

I have to wait until Federico shows up, the city is in an uproar, the Duke is imprisoned, Kongming Palace changes hands, no matter how late you come, make troubles, mess up the Emerald City, force me to compromise, force to retreat Fuxing Palace, to return the Duke?

The Karabyan twins fell silent together, restraining their smiles.

The study was quiet for a few seconds.

Thales looked at Kai'Sa and then at Qina, with a deep expression.

It's our fault. We underestimated the development of the situation. Kai'Sa said suddenly, regretful.

Who would have expected that His Majesty would be so thunderous... Qina nodded and added with a sad expression.

By the time we react, it's too late.

I can only make up for it after the dead, and talk about it as compensation...

Or it was intentional, Thales said coldly, deliberately delaying until the situation is irreversible, so that it can be sold for a price?

Kai'Sa and Qina's eyes moved.

(He really learned how to interject! - two sisters secretly gnashing their teeth)

In this way, I, Zhan En, and even His Majesty and others can see...

Thales stretched out two fingers and pointed at the two guests unceremoniously.

In this storm, you, Karabyan, are the ones who hold the key and calm the situation?

As for the damage to the Emerald City...

Thales felt disdainful.

First, as long as it is not completely destroyed, there is still salvation.

Secondly, if there is no Emerald City in the South Bank Territory...

Isn't there a Walla collar?

If my guess is true, it at least proves that your fear and hatred of Zhan En is no less than your fear and rejection of the Fuxing Palace. The prince took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: That is to say, Compared to what you guys said earlier, 'No rules, no two sides'... we have something to talk about, right?

The twins' smiles faded away.

Your Highness is trying to sow dissension... Kai'Sa said with a cold face.

It's really painstaking. Qina said disdainfully.

Thales smiled.

According to what you said, if the dignitaries of the royal capital stretched their hands into the Emerald City, it would be like a savage prehistoric giant crocodile rushing into the small fish pond--that's why you have to support Zhan En to protect everyone in the south bank because of it. benefit rules.

The prince changed his voice:

But don't forget, the reason why Zhan En protects and abides by this set of rules is because this rule is in his best interest, it is his rule.

Thales narrowed his eyes:

For example, after I took over the Kongming Palace, I discovered that more than 90% of the most profitable industries in South Bank are located around the Emerald City, or are closely related to the Emerald City.

At this moment, the twins exchanged glances.

And in Emerald City, there are 90% of the business industry, and all the positions are relatives and partners of the Kevin Dier family, disciples or glove spokespersons. The right to speak in charge and the right to distribute profits are all controlled by Zhan Deere. En is firmly in control, saying the same thing, and the rest of the forces, regardless of the noble business group—even the Karabyan family, who is the lord of Vola—will rely on it, and at most they will eat a little more leftovers than others.”

Thales changed his voice:

Why, except for the different positions, the degree is different. Is it similar to the 'royal capital dignitaries' you just complained about?

The twins frowned.

So I guess, under this set of rules, the Calvin Dill family is a terrifying big shark. Of course, it must not be as big and fierce as the prehistoric giant crocodile in the Fuxing Palace.

Thales stared sharply:

But big fish eat small fish, there is no essential difference between being eaten by sharks or being eaten by giant crocodiles-just like your fear of Zhan En and your fear of my father, but the degree is different, and the inside is the same .”

Thales narrowed his eyes:

Especially, compared to the king who is far away in the capital, you are too close to Zhan En and have dealt with him for too many years.

The twins looked at each other with serious expressions, without saying a word.

You know him too well: apart from sitting in a condescending position and manipulating and dominating his subordinates since birth, Zhan En is shrewd, cunning, ruthless, thoughtful, young and powerful, good at dividing and controlling power, especially Good at warming up with tenderness, but absolutely ruthless at critical moments...

Thales continued:

He treats everyone under his hands as pawns and bargaining chips, calculating value and squeezing energy to the maximum extent, but his image is perfect and beyond reproach. No matter what complaints his subordinates have, he can't export it, which always makes people feel sympathetic. I feel that 'with such a good boss, the subordinates should be willing to endure overtime and wage arrears'...

After the words fell, the two ladies fell into silence.

The reason why you want to drag him down to lose power, let him be bitten by a giant crocodile before getting out of trouble, is not because he is not a 'good husband', Thales put down his teacup, obviously talking about others, but he felt something in his heart , Empathized, It's because he is not an easy boss to deal with.

Thales narrowed his eyes:

Especially for those restless colleagues and subordinates.

At this moment, Kai'Sa and Qina were expressionless, but their eyes were cold.

But you know it.

Observing the expressions and reactions of the two, Thales finally confirmed:

Long before you teamed up with him to try and get the Emerald City back for him.

This time, the two sisters were silent for a long time.

But Thales was also patient and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it has passed.

Of course, we know. Kai'Sa said softly.

It's like a wife understands her husband. Qina said coldly.

It's like a subordinate knows her boss.

The twins said intentionally or unintentionally:

It's like a son knows his father.

It's like a courtier understands a king.

Even if the latter is so selfish that he doesn't realize it.

Thales was silent for a while, thinking of the envoy Hasat's evaluation and fear of Zhan En, as well as his experience in the Fuxing Palace.

But so what? Kai'Sa came back to her senses and took a deep breath.

This will not change the facts. Qina said coldly.

We still won't help you.

On the contrary, you, after being humiliated by the Kevin Dill brothers and sisters, lost your reputation and have no way to retreat.

Thales was silent for a long time.

Forget it, Your Majesty, he sighed, Zhan En, does he know that you are so double-faced, taking advantage of the fire, and trying to find ways to let him go?

Unexpectedly, the twins showed no fear, and Qi Qi sneered.

I thought you knew the Duke very well.

It seems to be nothing more than that.

Thales frowned.

Do you think Master Zhan En didn't think of this when he asked us for help?

You think he has to be bitten by a giant crocodile to get help, isn't he willing?

Thales' complexion changed slightly.

He looked at the two sisters with calm expressions and no shame, and suddenly understood.

I see.

Jen knows.

They also know.

In a chess game, everyone knows what price they will bear and what consequences they will face.

But they still have no hesitation.

Step forward towards the established line.

Because within the kingdom, the billowing furnace has been opened.

Burning hot, burning everything.

Don't let them hesitate for a moment.

He realized again that the two sisters in front of him were not people like Tanganga who would submit to fear and threats.

but……

Aren't you bored? Thales said quietly.

Bored? the twins wondered.

Thales sighed lightly:

Yes, bored, this is what Mira...Miss Miranda said to me.

The Karabyan sisters looked at each other with disdain:

Mira?

Miranda?

Northern Crazy Approval?

Steel ruthless woman?

Thales nodded.

For you, this trip to the Emerald City, this storm of power grabs, and this unusual political game, no matter how well you did it, even if you kicked me and Fuxing Palace out...

The prince's eyes were misty, and he recalled Mira's devotion to him in Star Lake Castle:

The leader of the South Bank is still the Kevin Dill family. It's Zhan En. It's this duplicity boss who is in power.

Thales looked at the two girls:

The Emerald City is still functioning in the same way as before, unchanged.

Sister Karabyan paused, seeming both upset and puzzled:

Is not it good?

Isn't that the purpose?

Thales shook his head.

As for the two of you, Kaisha and Qina, the de facto managers of the Karabyan family...

He looked at the two of them quietly, with a regretful tone:

Even if you are at the top, the limit, and the best in this position—I think you have already done it—you still have to bear the expectations of the world to 'marry a husband'.

Kai'Sa and Qina stared at each other.

I still have to do my best to manage and gain space to maintain my own value and freedom, and at the same time, I am forced to pretend to be crazy and stupid to find the ideal 'husband who died early'...

Thales remembered something, and the more he said, the more emotional he became:

Still can only spend far more than the cost of gaining, to 'manage up and down, dredge the relationship' on another level, do things that you don't like, and pretend to be something you are not used to, just for...

Thales sighed:

You really, don't feel bored?

This time, the two sisters were puzzled at first, then lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time.

Until they suddenly raised their heads and spoke again, with a few traces of imperceptible anger in their words:

When His Highness questioned us, he was condescending and confident.

But I forgot my position and situation!

Thales frowned.

I saw Kaisha and Qina saying something to each other, sneering, and piercing the prince's past weakness:

You were born an illegitimate bastard, but you did it voluntarily?

You went to Exeter as a hostage, but voluntarily?

You were in danger at the Saber Camp, but did you do it voluntarily?

You fought a duel at the royal banquet, but it was voluntary?

You left the dilapidated Star Lake Castle, but did you do it voluntarily?

Your mission to Emerald City is voluntary?

The two sisters groaned angrily:

And you really...

Don't you feel bored?

Thales opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless, so he could only continue to remain silent.

So the Devil Twins took advantage of the victory and pursued:

In the Kingdom of Stars, you seem to have a high status.

It's superfluous and embarrassing!

The relationship between you and His Majesty is complicated, and you are suspicious of each other. It is rare to trust, let alone reuse.

It's just that you are unwilling to be wronged, and you don't want to live with it. You often go on the rampage and cause trouble.

His Royal Highness is regent in Emerald City, and everyone seems to respect him.

In fact, no one cares at all!

Sitting in Kongming Palace, you seem to be in a high position and powerful, bossing around.

But it's just a marionette!

Because smart people understand that at both ends of the thread, only King Kessel and Duke Jann are pulling back and forth.

What everyone is waiting for is the victory of the Royal Family Center and the Iris Family!

Who cares which way your butt is facing, what kind of smell it comes out, and what shape is the stuff you squeeze out?

In this game between Fuxing Palace and Kongming Palace, you are at best an extra.

Kasha sneered:

That's why you need to fight desperately at this moment to strive for a sense of existence.

Qina clicked her tongue in retaliation:

Avoid drowning in the waves of powerful and powerful fights.

The two sisters looked at each other:

And you really...

Don't you feel bored? (End of this chapter)
