Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 240: The big fish eat the small fish (Part 2)
Latest URL: This time, it was Thales' turn to be silent for a long time.
"Well, you are right, I really have no position to persuade you on this point."
When the prince thought of something, he sighed helplessly, deeply moved:
"Just like me, no matter how well I fulfill Your Majesty's plan, or give in to you... No matter who wins or loses in Emerald City, I am still in the same cage——I still need this Only the cage can survive."
Thales is in awe:
"After all, as a person, it is difficult to distinguish what is chosen by oneself and what is chosen... including what is the right to choose by oneself because it was chosen in advance..."
Looking at such a prince, the two Karabyan sisters looked at each other suspiciously.
"It's a bit confusing." Qina frowned.
"But I can generally understand it." Kai'Sa narrowed her eyes.
Thales came back to his senses and smiled wryly.
"So, yeah, I'm bored," he stretched after sitting for too long, "I really want to change my life."
"But what about you?"
Kasha and Qina were both taken aback.
The next second, they looked at each other and nodded.
"We are Karabyan."
KaSa gritted her teeth.
"Like you are Canxing." Qina nodded desperately.
"Born here."
"Die here!"
The two are still young, but they look like soldiers on their way to the battlefield, ready to die.
After hearing this, Thales was a little dazed.
It seems to hear another sentence.
[Fight for the stars, die for the stars, live for the stars...]
"Therefore..."
Just listen to the twins vocalizing in tandem:
"We will not, and have no time to be bored!"
"Otherwise is there any other way?"
"When you are crowned, will you give us a fortune?"
"Promote us to become the prime minister of the kingdom?"
"Is it still your queen?"
"Why don't you go one step further and be crowned the Queen of the Stars?"
"Have the right to do whatever you want?"
Thales did not answer immediately.
He was silent, thinking for a while, and then looked at the two sisters thoughtfully:
"Korn Karabyan, is he your brother?"
The two ladies of the Twin Towers and Swords frowned.
"It's useless to play the family card."
"Especially our stupid brother."
"And, can you be friends with him?"
"Can't help but make us feel sorry for you."
"Deep sorrow!"
"How sad!"
Thales smiled, he raised his finger to stop the other party's words:
"But do you know what makes Cohen better than you?"
These words have no beginning, no end, and no logic. Kaisha and Qina were taken aback for a moment, and then both laughed:
"Korn? Better than us?"
"The giant baby gorilla?"
The two sisters are both dissatisfied and disdainful:
"Where is the strength? Stronger than us?"
"For five silver coins, I can hire someone twice as strong as him!"
"Better than us?"
"Five gold coins, I can hire someone who can beat him!"
"Stupider than us?"
"Five copper coins, I can hire him—sorry, I really can't hire this one."
"Is it more irresponsible and empty-headed than us?"
"Just because I had a fight with my father, I slapped my **** and ran away from home!"
"I'm so angry that my father is sad and sick, and my mother is sick and sad!"
"We are not as tall as a wheel, and we have to afford the whole family's livelihood!"
"I'm still worried about my silly brother's safety, so I saved up two hundred and fifty living expenses for him!"
"I have to do everything possible to hide it from my father!"
"I still have to rack my brains to hide from the gorilla!"
"Otherwise the gorilla will pretend to refuse to accept it!"
"When I arrived in the capital, I still caused trouble again and again!"
"Even the iron-fisted king dares to offend!"
"Even dare to follow the troublesome prince!"
"It made us come here to wipe his ass!"
"I was bullied miserably by a domineering prince!"
"Let him take advantage of us!"
"Woo, our lives are miserable..."
"When will I be able to have the pity of the man in my dream!"
Boom!
Thales slammed the teacup heavily, interrupting their duet that started again unconsciously.
"Indeed, Cohen, he may have done a lot of stupid, stupid, and unrecognized things, with no prospects and no results," Thales said with a serious expression, "but at least, everything, everything Everything is out of Cohen's own will and choice."
He thought of the Cohen who was discouraged by the countless setbacks in the work of the police, and the Cohen who couldn't help crying because he heard the disbandment of the abandoned house.
As well as that Cohen who was stupid no matter in Dragon Clouds City or Eternal Star City, but never hesitated before making costly choices.
"Unlike us, he can take responsibility on his own," Thales said quietly, with jealousy hidden in his words, "he only takes on his own responsibilities."
To Thales' surprise, the twins' expressions changed suddenly as soon as these words came out.
"Fart! Fart! Fart!" Kai'Sa was furious.
"If he can take the responsibility..." Qina's eyes were stern.
They seem to be irritated.
"Why do we have to go through this muddy water?"
"If he can take responsibility..."
"Then why are we here?"
"Whoring for nothing for the prince!"
Thales sneered.
The two sisters are still going on, more sullen:
"If he can take responsibility..."
"I won't break into the palace with you..."
"Hang up the number with His Majesty..."
"If we don't come to this..."
Hearing this, Thales suddenly interrupted loudly:
"Yes!"
He said coldly:
"I thought that to you, whether your brother died or not didn't matter, at most it was just a bonus."
The Karabyan sisters both choked.
Thales sarcastically said:
"As you said, in front of the family, an individual is of no importance at all—even the heir of the family."
"Sister, he..." Qina gritted her teeth.
"He imitated us again!" Kai'Sa's eyes were burning.
Thales took a deep breath:
"Now, Kaisha, Qina, what is the purpose of you coming here? Are you really here to wipe Cohen's **** and take the responsibility that should belong to him?"
Kasha and Qina both gritted their teeth.
The prince stared at Cohen's two younger sisters:
"Or, is it to bear the responsibility for him--the responsibility that was imposed on him, but was hated and rejected by him?"
He went one step further, looking directly at the opponents, as if to see through their disguise:
"Or, it is imposed on you, but you have no way to refuse the responsibility?"
The demon twins of Wallarling froze.
They looked at Thales suspiciously and hesitantly, as if they had never known him before.
"If you think about this clearly, maybe you will understand why Cohen is better than you—or even me—." Thales said quietly.
The two Karabyans did not answer immediately.
One of them was in a state of mind, and the other was full of anger.
"Hmph! Your Highness has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, especially good at sophistry." Kaisha reacted and refuted through gritted teeth.
"We've heard about it a long time ago!" Qina said angrily.
After saying that, they snorted angrily, and once again unfolded the black folding fans in unison, revealing the obscenities on them, facing the second prince:
[Yao Shou Nanzi. 】
Thales vaguely knew where their unusual anger came from.
But he didn't refute, just smiled lightly:
"Really?"
The next second, before the twins became even more angry, Thales changed the topic first:
"Then do you know how Miranda Arend is better than you?"
Kasha and Qina were taken aback again.
"Miranda?"
"Aaron De?"
The two sisters looked at each other, as if seeing the most ridiculous thing, and laughed several times.
"Iron Armored Woman?"
"Northern Crazy Approval?"
As if to prove something, their voices are getting louder and their words are getting harsher:
"The heir of Cold Castle whose inheritance rights have been emptied?"
"Fortress vanguard disgraced by father's treason?"
"The cold winter sword that no man listens to when you speak in the northern border?"
"The white eagle noble who does odd jobs for the little brat?"
"A muscular man with only brute force left?"
"A violent female swordsman who only knows how to swing a sword?"
"She can't support her alone, she can't even support a ten-man army!"
"It's really pulled up, I'm afraid His Majesty will kill her!"
"She is deeply trapped in the whirlpool, and she will embarrass the host and guest wherever she lives!"
"The only thing that is not difficult is Xinghu Castle, which is poorer than Hanbao, farther than Changqing, and smaller than my living room!"
"She is better than us?"
"Eating dry rice is definitely better than us!"
KaSa suppressed her anger:
"She has nothing!"
Qina's eyes are fierce:
"We have it all!"
Crack! Snapped! Snapped!
Thales slapped his hands hard to show his approval.
"That's right, Miranda, she has nothing now."
He thought of Mira's resoluteness when he was in Star Lake Castle, and resolutely:
"At most, it's a subordinate who runs errands by my side—well, it's still informal, and even the certificate of appointment as an attendant hasn't been approved from the Fuxing Palace."
He looked away.
"And you, you have everything you need," Thales looked at the two Karabyans, and sighed, "For example, you were born to belong to the prominent and famous Karabyan family on the south bank of the kingdom..."
Kasha's face was full of color, and Qina's face was full of pride.
Until Thales' next sentence:
"Marriage chips for..."
The twins suddenly changed color.
"Sister..." Kai'Sa gritted her teeth.
"Sister!" Qina's eyes lit up.
They held each other's hands tightly, and stared at Thales with an indifferent expression.
"In other words, you are destined to be the family of a prominent and famous high-ranking official somewhere in the kingdom..."
Thales paused for a moment:
"A facade decoration for...?"
"Sister!" Kaisha held her sister, her chest rising and falling.
"Sister." Qina squeezed her hand back tightly, with difficult words.
But Thales is not over yet.
"Even if you are satisfied and find a noble and wealthy husband who can die early, people will still call you..."
Thales said disdainfully:
"... so-and-so's widow, a widow."
His expression is playful:
"And do you know that a certain king of my ancestors was fond of marrying rich widows? To make money from this?"
At this moment, the anger in Kai'Sa and Qina's eyes couldn't be increased.
But Thales laughed.
He took a deep breath and looked out the window at the blue sky.
"But compared to these, compared to you, Ms. Miranda Arend," Taylor's attitude gradually strengthened with the words, "Mira, she is mine..."
Thales paused, turned around and corrected with a smile:
"No, she chose to be my..."
At that moment, the prince's eyes were burning, full of confidence:
"Knight."
The study fell silent.
Knights.
A word.
The pronunciation is simple, without description, without modification.
But the moment the word was spoken, Kaisha and Qina gritted their teeth.
"What does this mean?"
"What's the difference?"
They still looked stubborn and forced themselves to be disdainful.
But Thales noticed that they were all trembling unconsciously.
"Part-time job is part-time job!"
"To lose power is to lose power!"
"It's the same no matter how nicely you say it!"
"What about the knight?"
"It's useless!"
"When the master is in a state of desperation..."
"Did she fart anything useful?"
But Thales was not in a hurry, he just shook his head lightly:
"I think you guys know the difference better than I do—not to mention, she might be the first duchess in the northern part of the kingdom."
The expressions of the two sisters changed, Kaisha bit her lip dissatisfied, and Qina held her sister's hand tightly.
"His Royal Highness is so generous, he made promises without being crowned..."
The two sisters have bad intentions:
"Have you ever reported to His Majesty?"
"No," Thales said generously, frankly and sincerely, "because I'm different from you - I'm bored!"
The Karabyan sisters looked at each other in disbelief.
"Even, the Kevin Dill you hate the most, the Miss Cecilia who got me to where I am now, who is desperate..."
When the twins heard the name, it was like being stepped on their feet.
"Ah! That pervert, crazy!"
"Dead woman, Miss Monster!"
"The Catastrophe!"
"Pretending to be a ghost!"
"Let us enter the temple together and be punished!"
"I lost my best childhood!"
"Yes, Xilai is...frail and sick. She has not been in the Emerald City for a long time, and has a bad relationship with her brother. It is not as good as you who are in charge of politics in Vola and make decisions."
Thales hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed:
"But at that moment, at the moment when she preyed on me and humiliated me, she took the initiative to choose to be my opponent, my enemy."
Thales looked at the two female guests with angry expressions.
"And you, Kasha, Qina, as you said," Thales shook his head lightly, not without regret, "Karabiyan is destined to be an ally of Kevin Dill, destined to only be with the Iris family Can't get entangled, can't break free."
Following Thales' words, the breathing of the two sisters gradually became disordered.
"Because it's not that you don't know how to do it, and it's not that you don't have time, but that you're not qualified to be bored, let alone struggle and release."
Kasha and Qina's angry eyes gradually froze.
"Because you are from birth to now, maybe later to death..."
Thales' eyes darkened:
"There is no other choice."
After the words fell, Kaisha and Qina shook slightly, their faces pale.
It was quiet in the study for a long time.
Until the ugly Kaisha calmed down and tried to respond:
"I know, Your Highness wants to persuade us to deviate from the position of the family and make our own choice?"
"Impossible!" Qina raised her head angrily, crystals were faintly visible in the corners of her eyes.
"And no matter how much you talk about it," Kaisha tried hard to maintain her sanity, "after all, you can't change a fact."
She took a deep breath:
"Whether it is our will or not, we and Karabyan..."
"Everyone prospers, everyone loses!"
"Just like you and the Canxing family."
"Blessed by it, but also restricted by it!"
"Leaving family power is like a fish leaving water."
"There will only be more lost than gained!"
"Without Karabyan, we can't help you even if we want to."
"It's even more impossible to turn against each other and bring harm to oneself!"
The twins stared at him, trembling as they finished speaking.
Thales looked back at them calmly.
"Is it impossible for you, or Karabyan?"
"Impossible!" Qina snapped.
"You can't, and you can't separate us from Karabyan." Kai'Sa added slowly.
Thales smiled, he shook his head:
"Don't worry, I don't have that luxury."
Kasha took a deep breath and nodded:
"You know, that's the best."
Qina forced tears back into the corners of her eyes:
"You better know!"
Persuasion failed.
But Thales has no sense of frustration.
Facing the two sisters whose breathing was disturbed and emotionally ups and downs, he felt that he had caught something.
Something that touches the soul.
"Even if you are not tired of the status quo," Thales said softly, "but aren't the Karabyans tired of it?"
"Bored with what?"
"What are you arguing about?"
The two sisters are ready to fight.
Thales leaned back and looked at the ceiling.
"Let me ask this: You guys stood in line with Zhan En and successfully resisted this wave of royal invasion, the evil palm of the Fuxing Palace," he sighed softly, "but what about the next wave? Next wave? Next wave? Where's the wave?"
"You mean you want to make a comeback?" Kai'Sa said coldly.
"It's too far ahead!" Qina objected.
"Take care of what happens after you return to Eternal Star City."
"Someone is going to be spanked by dad!"
Thales smiled.
"No, I mean, whether it is to protect the vital interests, endorse the relevant classes, or to maintain the system, defend the foundation of the rule, or even more illusory to defend the way of life and values..."
He sat upright and looked directly at the two girls:
"It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, right or wrong, legitimate or not, but for so many years, the South Shore Territory and the Emerald City always seem to be... passively defending?"
Perhaps the answer was unexpected, Kaisha and Qina were both startled.
"And Karabiyan is even harder and more difficult, because he has to do everything possible to help Emerald City, defend the royal family's external attack on the South Bank, and also plan every step of the way to weaken Kevin Dill's internal suppression of you. More internal discourse power, always seems to be facing the enemy on both sides..."
Thales sighed to the two ladies:
"Just like you, in order to be free, you both want to find a husband, and you also want to find a husband who died early. It seems that you are always... looking for a husband?"
The study room fell silent for a moment.
The two Miss Karabyan frowned tightly, wondering.
"I don't understand." Kai'Sa said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Qina asked suspiciously.
They restrained their anger, their expressions were cold, and there were two dark grooves on each of their faces due to makeup. When they all raised their heads and looked at Thales coldly, they looked There is actually a bit of a ghostly sense of terror.
"I mean, the times are changing, the kingdom is moving forward, well, maybe the South Bank leader is still a small step ahead, so they have accumulated so much wealth that the Fuxing Palace is greedy..."
Thales rubbed his nose, feeling that he had found the key.
"But no matter whether it's Calabyan or Kevin Dill, their eyes still only stay on the corner of the south bank," he said with his tongue, "like a cat protecting food, always thinking 'my cat food is better, You have to protect it well, don’t let other cats **** it.”
Thales looked at the two girls:
"Isn't it a pity?"
Ka'Sa fell into deep thought and said nothing.
"Food protection? What a pity?" Qina chewed these words slowly.
Thales nodded with a smile.
"Because what is really better in your hands is not cat food, not just cat food, at least not these things that will be taken away," Thales said slowly, "but those things that cannot be taken away ——For example, the experience and skills of searching for cat food?"
Kasha's eyes lit up:
"You mean..."
Thales spread his hands:
"Since the Nan'an collar is already one step ahead in the country, why can't it continue to lead?"
He said slowly in the most bewitching tone he could think of:
"If you are one step ahead, why refuse to face it because you are afraid of falling behind?
"If you are one step ahead, why do you want to be defensive and complacent?
"Why don't you open your arms to protect food and take the offensive to face a wider world?
"Why not use the loss at this moment to exchange for future progress?"
The Karabyan sisters were stunned.
"Koen told me that if you don't rush to attack in battle, always defend passively, and you will be counterattacked by your opponent."
Thales' eyes are burning:
"If you waste an opportunity, you will be punished."
Kasha frowned tightly, lost in thought, but suddenly said:
"Since you don't want to find a husband, why can't you not find a husband?"
Qina came back to her senses in shock:
"Sister!"
Thales smiled.
"I can see that Earl Turami Karabyan is a good father. He loves you and trusts you, which is why he entrusts you with so many affairs and industries to manage and make decisions."
KaSa's eyes dimmed:
"To leave us a dowry."
Qina raised her mouth:
"Let's be tougher at my husband's house in the future."
Thales shook his head:
"But as you say, the best dad is not the best dad—unless he dies."
Kasha's eyes moved:
"Be careful, Your Highness, in your capacity..."
Qina was incomparably tacit, and took over the conversation:
"I don't want to say that."
Then you go to sue the king?
Thales condensed these words in his eyes, and glanced at them indifferently.
The Karabyan sisters frowned and looked at each other.
"But compared to this, the real pity is: no matter how well you do in Walla, no matter how much money you make, how much business you negotiate, how many connections you make, and how many political struggles you win, No matter how many royal invasions are blocked and how many emerald city lords are saved, even if you play well in this position, the influence and effect will be limited after all, and it can only be limited to the South Bank Territory. Resist the center of the royal family - plunder, or invasion?"
Thales continued:
"And in Nan'an, if you can be a rich widow for the rest of your life, it's the limit to take care of your dozens of boxes of dowry and your husband's hundreds of acres of land. At most, um, a Karabyan woman Earl? The premise is that Cohen dies early or abandons the throne, and then you have to marry a husband, have a baby, and leave offspring."
The Demon Twins made no sound.
"But just imagine, if one day, you can use this determination and wisdom of orphans and widows to defend their homeland and fight back, the energy and reputation that the Karabyan family can use, and the anger and strength that you are unwilling to compromise. ..."
Thales lowered his volume and slowed down his speech:
"Will it be used in the imperial meeting?"
At that moment, the Karabyan sisters were both startled and looked up together:
"What are you talking about?"
"Male shrimp?"
Thales blinked.
"I know that the Karabyan family is worried about the invasion of the royal power and the shaking of the foundation of the South Bank..."
He spread his palm:
"But guess, in the Star Kingdom, who can most influence—not resist—the invasion of the royal power? Who can really shake the South Bank, and even the entire Star Kingdom's ruling foundation?"
Kasha and Qina looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.
"It's the person sitting in the Kongming Palace, sitting in this study room," Thales gestured, "or sitting in the Fuxing Palace, sitting in the Ballard Room—sorry, the people in the Imperial Conference Room ?”
The sisters looked at him in disbelief.
"I think, at that time, what you can protect, strive for, obtain, and change... But it is far more than just the 'Government of the Kongming Palace', not just the 'Government Foundation of the Nan'an Territory' .”
Thales said in a deep voice:
"Once someone in the court has the idea of the South Bank leader or even Karabiyan, you can take the first step and suppress the spark from the source, from the Fuxing Palace.
"Once a crisis similar to Emerald City strikes again, you can form a chessboard across the country as long as you make your own moves, so that the leaders of the South Bank will no longer be alone and helpless...
"Even further... If the entire kingdom inherits and carries forward the rules and systems of the South Shore Territory..."
But before he finished speaking, Kaisha interrupted him:
"What are you doing, Your Highness?"
Qina stared at him:
"What do you mean?"
Thales looked at his sister, then at his sister, and smiled slightly:
"It's very simple, I want to add money."
The two sisters were at a loss.
"Your Highness's words," Kaisa was dubious and cautious, "are you promising us a place in the Imperial Council?"
"Golden words?" Qina narrowed her eyes.
In the quiet study room, Thales and the two Karabyans looked at each other quietly.
A few seconds later.
"Ha, how is it possible!"
Thales laughed and waved his hands, and retracted into the chair as if scalded by boiling water: "Be careful, in my capacity..."
He blinked:
"I don't want to say that."
The two sisters did not laugh, but narrowed their eyes and observed carefully.
"It should be noted that every seat in the imperial meeting is extremely important and has a bearing on the country's major affairs."
"And I'm not a king," Thales looked at the two ladies with deep meaning, "Where do you get the qualifications to appoint and dismiss important ministers?"
The voice falls.
The two sisters took a small breath.
"My God, sister." Qina's breathing accelerated.
"I know." Kai'Sa said with difficulty.
"Is he tempting us?"
"I know!"
"Tempt us to betray and cheat?"
"I know!!"
"So he made a pose?"
"I know!!!"
"Do your best!"
"I know it!"
Thales had a strange look on his face.
"Okay," he waved his hand, "Anyway, that's what it means, let's use your analogy."
The next second, the expressions of the two sisters changed.
No more anger and anxiety like before.
And no longer have the arrogance and composure of before.
Instead it becomes...
"Hey, you really don't keep your masculinity." Kaisha sneered.
"But it's impressive." Qina smiled evilly.
"Ah, it took me a long time to find out," Thales scratched his head helplessly and said, "So you two like this."
The two sisters got behind the foul-mouthed folding fan, chatted for a while, and then reappeared.
"You know, handsome Your Highness, this is your most attractive moment these days."
"Although it's the first time, I can't help being jerky and nervous..."
Kasha narrowed her eyes:
"But it is far more mature than a brainless kid pretending to be a masculine man."
Qina nodded calmly:
"It's far more refreshing than the hypocritical old fritters pretending to be Mr. Shijia."
"As it turns out, all you have to think about is..."
"You can also play tricks and seduce people to commit crimes!"
Thales sighed with his hands on his forehead, automatically ignoring their hints.
"Okay, so what do you say?"
The demon twins smiled and looked at each other.
The next second, they all shook their heads and said in unison:
"No!"
Thales let out a sigh of relief, and fell down on the desk with a disappointed face.
Has he said so much before?
"Once we agree to Your Highness and make concessions, it will mean the fall of Emerald City and the invasion of royal power..."
"Once Kalabyan's interests are damaged, the scenery will no longer be, or even decline..."
The twins chuckled:
"We lost our family support."
"What else do you need to get out of the South Bank Territory, to win... a place in the so-called "bigger world" of you?"
Thales lifted his head from the table and let out a long sigh.
"First of all, believe me, based on my understanding of the efficiencies of the imperial meeting, the progress of Emerald City being 'conquered' will not be so fast. The accountant under Manager Joke Mann needs at least one hour just to count the accounts. A year and a half..."
He looked at the confident two sisters in disbelief, and spoke in a hurry, almost grabbing their shoulders and shaking:
"Secondly, are you so unconfident in yourself?"
Sister Karabyan blinked.
"Do you think that you can have what you are today and be able to sit in front of me and talk freely, all relying on Karabyan's established power and status? Relying on the trust and prestige of Earl Turami?"
The twins smiled and looked at each other, meaning unknown.
"Please, you two can beat me to pieces, make Emerald City fall apart, and make my father so angry that he can't do anything about it," Thales said anxiously, "You can bring Karabyan to the point where the situation in Emerald City and the kingdom's major policies are easily affected. Your energy is not small, and your contribution is indispensable. Don't underestimate yourself."
"Your Highness, what you say is just to incite and incite."
"Others can do it in our position."
Thales frowned:
"Others can do it too... um, Cohn?"
The two sisters were taken aback for a moment, but were at a loss for words.
"Speaking of this, do you know..."
Thales remembered something and said nostalgicly:
"The two hundred and fifty gold coins you sent to Cohen, he didn't touch a single penny, and all of them were stored in a border tavern."
The two sisters were taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, one gritted his teeth and the other was filled with righteous indignation:
"I knew it!"
"Tsundere Gorilla!"
"He deserves to be hungry!"
"Unfortunately, I was so frugal at the time, I was not even willing to buy the latest Wangdu vanity box!"
"I also sold a lot of jewelry and shoes, and there are only twelve sets of dresses left!"
"Don't expect my mother to help him in the future!"
Thales reached out his hand in time and changed the subject:
"Don't worry, this money has a place to go, all of it has been used to repay and support those veterans who had accidents in the desert..."
"Bah! Fake kindness!"
"Spending my sister's money..."
"Of course I don't feel bad!"
"I want him to pay back the money! There is also interest!"
"But because of this," Thales interrupted them, not without emotion, "in today's Saber Dune camp, when you mention the name 'Korn, Big Stupid Karabyan', it is far away. Much more useful than mentioning the names of noble lords, and being a 'friend of Cohn' is much more popular than a 'friend of Karabyan'."
The two sisters were silent.
"Those two hundred and fifty gold coins belong to you, or more precisely, they belong to the Karabyan family, and they belong to Vola's collar," Thales sighed, "but they cross thousands of mountains and rivers, What I have done, this choice, this meaning, I believe..."
He looked at Kaisha and Qina, and said seriously:
"Forever and ever, it can only be Cohen's."
Ka'Sa and her sisters are thoughtful.
"Because this is something that can't be done with Karabyan's surname alone."
After the voice fell, the three of them were silent for a long time.
"Your Highness has been telling us for so long, but has he ever asked what our father meant?" Kai'Sa said in a deep voice.
"What if he disagrees?" Qina frowned.
"Really," Thales shrugged, "do I still need to ask him?"
The three raised their heads in unison, looked at each other in the air, and smiled in unison.
"These words just now, these words of 'concession at this moment', 'rather than passive defense, it is better to take the initiative', 'take the offensive, open up the world'..." Kai'Sa pondered.
"Have you told Master Zhan En?" Qina asked.
"Have you persuaded him with this?"
"Have you tried your best to seduce him to cheat?"
Thales smiled disdainfully.
"Ha! Don't talk about 'concession at this moment'..."
Recalling the wound on his face, he said bitterly:
"There is no such thing as 'concession' in the dictionary of the Kevin Dill family - no one in their family is willing to give in."
"That's because you're talking empty words!" Kai'Sa was also disdainful.
"Including the temptation to us!" Qina seemed displeased.
"I know, but there is something to gain, sometimes for a certain purpose," Thales sighed, "We have to take some risks and make concessions on certain interests."
"Such as the ownership of Emerald City?"
"Such as the annoying unspoken rules of the capital?"
Thales raised his eyebrows and looked at the two sisters intriguingly.
"Why?"
"Why do you look at us like this!"
"Hey! We are serious girls!"
"If you use force, we will not obey!"
"Unless..."
"No unless!"
Thales coughed and interrupted them:
"I used to think that the Karabyan family was always defensive because they didn't want to take risks."
His gaze moved:
"But now I understand that the cause and effect are just the opposite: you are used to passive defense, so you don't want to take risks."
The two sisters were taken aback.
Kasha sneered and asked:
"That sounds nice, then why don't you take the initiative to give in? Let go of the Emerald City?"
Qina nodded bitterly:
"Do you have to force us vulnerable people to make concessions? Give you the Emerald City?"
Thales sighed long.
"Believe me, I have fallen from an idle duke lying in the castle, walking cats, walking dogs, eating and waiting to die, to what I am now: a king with heavy responsibilities on his head, a huge debt of millions, ineffective arrest of murderers, and ineffective governance , not being strict with the imperial government, managed the Emerald City into a mess, and was played by a little girl to shame, shame, and ridiculed by the whole city..."
He fell on the back of the chair, his eyes were blank:
"I have given in and backed off enough."
Qina chuckled and said, "With all due respect, you are now at the end of the rope, you have fallen to the bottom, and there is no room for you to make concessions..."
But at this moment, she was held down!
"Sister!" Qina turned her head in surprise.
I saw Kai'Sa staring at Thales, who was wandering in the sky:
"Your Highness, you said that you are disgraced and ridiculed?"
"Hmm."
"And you've backed off enough already?"
"Hmm."
Ka'Sa was silent for a while, thinking for a long time.
"I have to say, Your Highness, although your proposal just now is interesting, it is just empty talk."
Qina nodded:
"Not enough to believe, let alone trade."
Thals let out a long breath and cheered up:
"Okay, I know I'm just a kid now, I don't have any leverage to tempt you in exchange..."
Qina narrowed her eyes and looked Thales up and down:
"That's not necessarily..."
Kasha dragged her sister back, frowned and shook her head, and said softly:
"No, he's underage..."
But Thales didn't pay attention to their whispers.
"But I believe in at least a little bit."
Thales sat upright and said seriously:
"Whether it's a shark or a giant crocodile, if the result is unchangeable, you are more willing to be on the side of the winner, right?"
Kasha's eyes moved:
"What do you mean?"
Thales calculated the chips in his hand, gritted his teeth and said:
"If I win this game...at least 80%, no, 70%, maybe 60%...you can stand in line, right?"
Qina snorted softly:
"Are you sure you can win without our help? Keep the Emerald City?"
Thales smiled.
"I'm not sure, but you guys are more stubborn than Cohen, and you won't let go," he said angrily, "Do I have any other options?"
Ka'Sa studied him thoughtfully for a moment.
"Your Highness," she said suddenly, "You really don't think about getting engaged in the near future?"
Thales was surprised.
Qina was also slightly taken aback, but she reacted very quickly and cooperated with her sister: "If you think about it, our sisters are very..."
"Thank you for your attention," Thales sneered and waved his hands, "but I don't want to die young yet."
Kasha smiled slightly:
"Actually, if your husband is you, you can die early!"
"Really?" Thales looked suspicious.
Qina nodded with sparkling eyes:
"Yes, yes, it's okay to be paralyzed and demented, we will hire the best servants to take care of your toilet..."
"No need."
Thales waved his small hand and resolutely refused.
Kasha narrowed her eyes:
"Oh, sorry."
"Yeah yeah."
But in the next second, Kasha Karabyan changed the subject:
"But for the sake of what you said today, Your Highness, we can give you some hints."
Qina turned her head in surprise:
"Sister?"
But she was held down by her sister and whispered a few words in her ear, and she immediately looked surprised.
Thales' eyes moved:
"Oh?"
"Whether it's the market, law and order, public opinion, or prices," Kasha pressed Qina, and said in a deep voice, "We have managed these methods to drag Emerald City into the water and force you to let it go. In fact, it's just a trivial matter .”
Qina was skeptical, and said:
"It may be unsightly, but it is difficult to shake the overall situation."
"If you want to save Emerald City from the dead..."
"We have to go straight to the root of the situation."
Thales' eyes moved:
"At all?"
Ka'Sa nodded with a deep expression.
"You are right, even if we cooperate with Kevin Dill, he only let us be responsible for the most leftover work."
Qina said bitterly:
"It's also called 'each has its own strengths'."
"The most core, most important, and most capable bargaining chips in the Emerald City that can force you to submit are all in the hands of Duke Jann himself."
"No one else can get their hands on them."
Thales frowned:
"You mean..."
"Debt." Kai'Sa said coldly.
"Huge debt!" Qina nodded fiercely.
"Nearly 1.3 million Tormund gold coins in a short period of time."
"Long-term debt of about 12.9 million."
"Debt enough to drag down the finances."
"Let Emerald City go bankrupt and South Bank lead to collapse in debt."
Thales felt dizzy for a while.
"Long term...1290...13 million?"
What are you doing?
So many?
Hold on, hold on, Thales, cheer up...
He took a few deep breaths.
"You guys, how do you know so clearly?"
Sister Karabyan smiled mysteriously:
"We guessed."
Fuck!
Thales tried to calm down his breathing, regained his sanity, and said in shock:
"More than ten million...how did he borrow so much money? Who did he borrow it from?"
The two shook their heads together:
"We don't know."
Kasha immediately said coldly:
"But money matters are not settled."
"You can never imagine without Zhan En's cooperation..."
"Save the Emerald City."
"Without money, let alone the Canxing royal family, even the goddess of the setting sun cannot save you."
Thales came back to his senses and hurriedly asked:
"Can't you help me with this matter? The Karabyan family also has a little money, right? Let's put it on..."
Kasha raised a finger and put it on her lips with a smile:
"Get it done, Your Highness."
Qina followed suit and blinked:
"Otherwise it's useless for us to help you."
"We have revealed enough today."
"It's up to you, whether it's a shark or a giant crocodile."
After the words fell, the twins got up together and saluted farewell.
"Wait!"
Thales was taken aback and got up quickly.
"If I settle this, um, debt, then you guys just..."
The next second, Kaisha and Qina both smiled.
They turned around together, and took out two brand new bright silver folding fans from nowhere, with the nine-pointed star logo shining on them.
Crack!
The folding fan opens in the air:
[His Royal Highness, fly with confidence, Kasachina will always be with you]
[On the coronation day of a young man, when the sisters promise each other with their bodies]
Amount...
OK.
Thales showed a helpless and relieved look.
I saw that two folding fans intersected, and another sentence was formed at the junction:
【Myojin Genesis, in exchange for you! 】
The two sisters stopped in an exaggerated flying dance and winked at Thales.
"Thank you..."
Thales smiled awkwardly and waved his hand:
"Thank you..."
"By the way, if there is such a day," Kai'Sa said aggressively, "I want to be the prime minister of the kingdom."
Thales' eyelids twitched.
"And me! It's us, we, the prime ministers!" Qina added forcefully.
Thales was silent for a while.
"As soon as I come up, I want the biggest seat, you really have it," he smiled helplessly, "but as I said, before I am crowned, I can't guarantee or promise..."
KaSa's eyes turned cold:
"Yes, you can't promise?"
Qina clicked her tongue and said:
"Then you can only fight for yourself, sister."
"Yeah, I want to try to see that day..."
"Let you beg us to be your prime minister."
Thales' eyelids twitched:
"What if I don't ask?"
Kasha and Qina looked at each other ~IndoMTL.com~ both smiled.
"Then you can only fight for yourself, sister."
"Strive to see another day..."
Thales couldn't help frowning:
"What day?"
The girls looked at Thales, smiling like flowers:
"Of course you begged us..."
"The day I let you regain the throne!"
Thales shivered slightly, holding back the chills from his back.
"Why...retake the throne?"
What responded to him was the brighter but disturbingly strange smiles of the devil twins. (End of this chapter)
