Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 40: Prelude
When Thales walked out of the stone room with a complex and unspeakable mood, he already had a certain guess about the long-lasting bell and what would happen next.
"Is it today?" He calmly looked in front of Gilbert and Gini, who had been waiting for a long time.
really suddenly.
Gilbert's eyes were full of sighs and sadness, and Ji Ni seemed to hesitate a little more in her indifferent expression.
Shouldn't they cheer, why is this expression, Thales thought feebly-his brain has been filled with the stone room just now and what will happen next.
I don’t know why, at this moment, he is clearly in a heavy mood, but he can still show off his appearance.
This is the so-called, isn't happiness and anger in color?
I saw Gilbert said bitterly: "Please forgive me, this is not my intention... The emergency envoy of Exter will be in Yongxing tonight. Whether you declare war or compromise, you are at this time... Your Majesty He..."
Gilbert frowned, he stopped talking, but he sighed deeply and said nothing.
"Don't waste any more time. The National Government meeting will be held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Your Majesty will send him into the waiting room before one o'clock." Ji Ni interrupted Gilbert with an obscure expression.
The former Minister of Foreign Affairs and the first-class court lady, both of them have changed into dark and solemn formal attire. Behind them, eight flat-looking maids, holding eight full plates, are neatly and quietly arranged on both sides of the corridor .
"咚!"
The bell rings a second time.
Jini stepped forward with a complicated expression, and led the worried Thales into another room.
Eight maids filed in afterwards.
——————————————
Fuxing Palace, the outer palace wall, the first gate.
The place Thales had just passed by last night, under the insufferable scolding and merciless blow of the guards, maintaining the only order. Large and small nobles, people of prestige from all walks of life, all look different However, the crowd lined up, vying for a place in the Fuxing Palace.
Before the Fuxing Palace, at the first thick mottled gate, under the strict inspection of nervous guards, qualified participants were let in one by one.
"I! I am the vice president of the Metallurgical Guild! I am qualified to go in and listen! What? The Metallurgical Guild will have twenty-five vice leaders? Hey, you don’t understand, they all make up. Only I am special. Let me tell you, look at my black hair and black eyes! Understand? Our craftsmanship is inherited from the Far East, do you know the Dawn Dynasty? Just before the end of the war... A gentleman speaks but doesn't move! Can't I go in if I don't!"
"I am Elos Kata, a fabric specialist licensed by the royal family! I can go in! Look! This is the signature of the former king Eddie, and the signature of His Royal Highness Midiel!"
"I also have the invitation sent by Mindis III to our family back then! Although the history is a bit long, it was one hundred and fifty years ago-hey, don't do it, I will go by myself! Go by myself!"
"Hey! Punk! Remember me? I'm Lazan, the coroner of the Central Police Department, and our colleagues have been in for half a year! Is there a place in the Hall of Stars now?"
"I'm on duty here, I don't know. But my cousin who is a guard in the palace told me that the Great Hall is half full! If you are not a nobleman above the Viscount, you can't get in at all!"
"Then we can only squeeze in Xingju Square and listen to the guards spreading the words layer by layer, passing down the resolutions of the big people?"
"Come on, even people like us, even if they enter the Hall of Stars, they still sit on the bottom and the outermost floor, quietly listening to the top and innermost people talking-fundamentally Impossible to interrupt!"
"God—that's the single-winged crow and the two-tower long sword flag! Colomo and Karabyan's convoy! Get out of the way! Offend them, you have no good fruit!"
"What's wrong with the nobles? The nobles must also abide by the Basic Law-ah no, it is to abide by the star convention!"
"What a joke! They are not ordinary aristocrats, they are all royal edicts, over a thousand private soldiers, vast territories, and countless high-ranking vassals... You must improve yourself as a coroner. The posture is level, do you know that the thirteen noble families? They and the royal family and the six giants are talking and laughing..."
"Why are you so clear?"
"Ashamed and ashamed, I used to teach their three family fighting skills in the manor of the Kisson family in Dongcheng District..."
Regardless of the crowds around him, Count Dele Colomo’s cavalry and Count Turami Karabyan’s carriage can be seen as they shuttle in the crowd half an hour after the second ringing of the bell. Out and rushed to the Fuxing Palace.
As the second of the thirteen high-ranking vassals in the country second only to the royal family and the six giants, commonly known as the thirteen noble families, the two counts of Delekolomo and the old Karabyyan, only relying on single-winged crows and double The coat of arms and flag of the tower sword passed through the crowd effortlessly, and in the whispered discussions of the crowd pointing and pointing, and the respectful eyes of the guards and gate officials, all the way through the first palace wall and palace door.
"The country is not so many people before the meeting," Director Robick in the carriage sighed softly: "The country in the desert war is the meeting. Only the heads of the lines, rich businessmen, and Of those sour and prestigious scholars, only two of the six giants were present, and only five of the thirteen prominent families."
"But it was enough to win the war support he wanted for his Majesty. The nineteen nobles had to obey the decision of the National Council." Karabyan looked out the car window solemnly, and the crowd gathered: "Refused to fulfill The aristocrats who decided on the resolution were once besieged by angry people, and even suffered in all walks of life-although they are only vassals of large families, this is not a good phenomenon."
"Two gentlemen, we should hurry up. Although the nineteen nobles all have specific meeting places, they will not be rushed to the Xingju Square under the palace to'listen' to the meeting," the young Earl Yibao , Delekolomo rode close to the car window, his face was not very good: "But in a while, we may be fighting with the nouveau riche nobles and civilians."
————————————————
To the northwest of the Fuxing Palace, the Stars Gathering Square obliquely below the Hall of Stars, it is now full of people!
Xianjun’s pioneering work, it is claimed that the nation for the whole people is the meeting. The only country where civilians and little nobles can listen to the power of the stars is the meeting. It will be held in the afternoon! Every topic, every discussion, every decision in the meeting will be conveyed all the way to the entire Xingju Square by a dedicated person, and we know all the residents of the king!
Jenard frowned and looked at the boiling crowd in the entire square—he and his city defense team had just been seconded from Dongcheng District in the morning to maintain the order of Xingju Square with the guards.
See you, how is this possible? The Star Gathering Square, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, relied on more than a thousand of them-even Duke John's Star Legion could not maintain such an order.
People's eyes are focused on the meeting place above their heads, and that open-air place faces the hall of Xingju Plaza-the Hall of Stars!
The crowds and crowds were pushing each other, indifferently, under the loud scolding of thousands of guards on the square, and under the giant crossbow that entered the firing standby state on the wall of the Fuxing Palace, the king's sudden The host country is the news of the meeting.
"I guess it was the big explosion on Red Square Street a month ago! Hey, did the Blood Bottle Gang be beaten so badly by the Black Street Brotherhood that it became red eyes and started to go crazy?"
"A small gang fight can also alarm the big men above?"
"Where did the gossip from you come from? There are also rigorous, what blood bottle gang, what black street brotherhood, how can the king have a gang? We are a civilized society! How happy life is now! You Why do you want to spread these comments that destroy the environment? Ah? I think you must be spies of foreign forces, right!"
"You are right to hear me, it must be the Scavengers who have rebelled again! Behind it must be the merchants of the Conmas Alliance who are more greedy than vampires! They detained our caravan last month! Five taxes! Do you believe it? Five out of ten!"
"Damn bastard! Why is the legendary wings so soft? You should learn from your Majesty, and grab them all like the orcs, and bury them alive in the desert altar!"
"Don’t insult Master Wings of Legend! He is so handsome--but he can unify the existence of the Western Continent with his face!"
"My aunt works as a maid in a viscount's house in the morning star district. She told me that it seems to be north, and something happened to Exeter-by the way, why hasn't their mission come yet?"
"How is it possible that the "Fortress Peace Treaty" has been signed for 20 years! Besides, we have the fortress flower, guarding the Broken Dragon Fortress, and Arund and Zemu in the north. A strong family like TO and Fries-how can it not be like twelve years ago..."
"Don’t forget that the kingdom’s fury is still in the capital! He alone can destroy 200,000 Exeters with that bow!"
"The total number of troops in Exeter is not 200,000, right?"
"That's what it means anyway!"
" I think 80% is the Principality of Sera in the southwest. I have relatives who have come to visit from afar. They say that there are evil witches spreading the plague recently, and the bordering Principalities of Anrenzo and Norton have closed their borders-etc. Wait, the disease won’t spread to the stars? Didn’t the nobles in the southwest come? Where’s the Tebak’s house? Where’s Karabyan and Rasia? Are they all killed by the plague?"
"So the price of herbal medicines will go up? I have to hurry up!"
"You are all nonsense—my secret source told me that your majesty will choose one of the six giants to be the next king!"
"What? What about the Canstar Royal Family? Our house has a royal furniture franchise right!"
"What else can you do! Can you force your Majesty to have another son out?"
"I think Duke Kevin Deere is pretty good! He visited the Grand Bazaar last year and shook my hand! With such a Duke, our country will not be good!"
"But I think the young lady from the Tebak family is also pretty good! Learn from the Kingdom of Ellenbia, think about it, a beautiful young queen-my god, my heart is melting..."
"Stop kidding, it’s a country like Ellenbia! Our great stars are the heirs of the empire! How can women be kings? I’m not discriminating against women, but we have to admit objective differences Well!"
"Sao Nian, don't guess there!"
"I care about politics!"
"I think you are a keyboard-cough cough, you are a gunner!"
"Believe in the country, in your majesty, in the Imperial Conference! Can they not know the things you know?"
——————————————
Thales stood up slowly and looked in the mirror, the young nobleman with luxurious clothes and a cold face.
His hair is no longer messy grass nests, but neatly trimmed and combed into a simple but pleasing style, looking energetic and handsome.
Jini even disregarded his face, pinned a slightly reflective spar earring in his left ear.
The thickened black and blue glittering long-sleeved jacket, with white lining, pleated sleeves buttoned with bitumen, and specially processed tassel mantle, make his thin body look tall and straight .
He raised his hands, the pure white leather gloves were tight and shiny, and his gestures seemed more convincing.
Black aristocratic slim trousers, with a star-shaped belt buckle, and precious leather boots that raised him by two inches, made him start with aristocratic elegance.
Thales’s back is embroidered with a nine-pointed star emblem representing the Canxing family, and a gold and silver nine-pointed star pin is also pinned on his chest, which shines in the light.
The maids sprinkled a little male perfume on him, almost invisible, but made his breath closer to the upper class.
Alas, Thales gave a bitter smile and sighed: fashionable decorations, elegant manners, established etiquette, limited knowledge, these are the best tools to isolate and classify the identities of different classes—— This is the circle of nobility.
This damn, evil cultural capital.
Even Gini and Gilbert, who were watching from the side, couldn't help nodding slightly.
"It's almost there." Ji Ni sighed, her tone bitterly: "Kaiser-Your Majesty, he wants you in early."
Thales knew their emotions were a bit wrong, but now that they have reached this point... he cleared all the thoughts in his mind, and followed Gilbert and Gini to leave slowly.
"I need to confirm some final things with you."
Thales raised his head and looked at Gilbert.
"Your name-I mean, your Majesty originally planned to change you to a name that is more in line with the "Star Tradition", such as John and Midiel, or Kessel and Tormond-after all, Tyre The name Si is used by the people, and it appears on the royal family tree for the first time...and it will let those who care to find out your past..."
Thales turned his head back and walked forward step by step, without changing his face, saying: "Tyles."
"What?"
"It's called Thales."
I will not change my name.
Those past.
I will never forget, and I cannot give up at all.
Thales looked at the endless promenade, clenched his fists, ignoring Gilbert's hesitant eyes.
"Oh-to do your will." Under Ji Ni's murderous eyes, Gilbert sighed.
This is a long corridor.
Thales remained silent, walked a few dozen steps forward, and then stopped.
There is a black door before his eyes.
"Above is the Hall of Stars. You will go to the innermost compartment. Don't be nervous. When the time is up, I will open the door. Just do as you ordered." Gilbert lowered his head Tao, but he immediately looked to the side of the door.
The middle-aged nobleman showed doubts.
"Ada? At this time you should guard your Majesty!"
Thales looked forward and saw a petite figure on one side of the door.
is her.
Thales recognized that it was the woman in the cloak who led the Royal Guard and rescued him from Janen last night. She was still in the cloak and covered her face, in the gloomy light, unable to distinguish her face.
The woman in the cloak holding her arms left the half-leaning wall.
"Hey boy, that guy in the mask, ask me to give you a gift."
There was a young and lively voice, and the cloaked woman handed out something.
Thales was stunned.
He took the thing, not even caring about the overly white, smooth and firm skin on the other's hand.
This is a black dagger sheath with a buckle belt attached.
One side of it is engraved with a line of words: Kings do not respect blood.
Thales resisted the thought of subconsciously touching his chest. In a complex mood, he pulled out JC from his belt and inserted the sheath—just the right size.
"Thank you—Yordel, is he okay?" Thiels breathed calmly, and fastened the sheathed dagger to his waist.
"Don't worry, that kind of guy-I can't die for now." The cloaked woman chuckled lightly: "I know him well."
Thales nodded, passed her, and stood in front of the gate.
The traverser looked at the black stone gate in front of him, clenching his back teeth.
just one more step.
Behind him, Gilbert's brows became tighter and tighter, Jini bit her lower lip tightly, and the cloaked woman twisted her neck indifferently.
Thales did not turn around, just looked at the lime-grey ground in front of him, and said quietly:
"Gilbert, if I take this step, can I not look back?"
Gilbert was startled.
But Thales did not intend for him to answer.
The traverser raised his head and forced a smile with difficulty:
"No, maybe, when I opened my eyes for the first time in this world, there was no such thing as turning back."
"You can only keep going forward."
Hearing this, Jini's eyes were obscure and hesitated. She stretched out her hand, but was held by Kilbertra who was shaking her head.
"Don’t worry, be happy, this is a good thing, Mr. Gilbert, Ms. Ji Ni, and—this lady in the cloak, some good person told me,"
Tales turned his head under the shining lights on both sides of and the sunlight from the windows on both sides of the corridor.
He stretched out his thumb and grinned brilliantly:
"Just treat it as another game."
Before the three of them could react, Thales pushed the door and stepped in.
A cold wind poured into the stone gate, and there was not enough light in the front, which seemed to be endless darkness.
Thales disappeared in the darkness.
Gilbert lowered her head with a sigh, but Ji Ni turned her head and said nothing.
Only the woman in the cloak snapped her fingers happily: "Aha, I like this kid."
"Yes, this kid," Jini raised her head and gave a bitter but helpless chuckle, but her face was full of sadness and pity: "It's just a child."
"How can I carry such a heavy burden and...the future."
There was silence.
until a hoarse voice suddenly appeared: "He can."
The woman in the cloak curled her chin: "It's so fast to recover."
Gilbert and Jini both looked behind them in surprise—where the figure of the mask guard appeared in the void.
But it is strange that Yodel's figure is erratic and vague, as if it is covered by a scarf made of air.
"He can take on that kind of responsibility." The vaguely figured Yodel said firmly:
"I know him."
"He has all the people in this world, all the gods~IndoMTL.com~all the demons, and even all the magicians do not have the characteristics."
There was another silence.
Gilbert shook his head, snorted, and gently raised his hat to salute: "I am sorry for my failure, the country is still two hours away from the meeting-it's time to see your Majesty, Ms. Ji Ni."
Jini nodded and left with Gilbert.
Following the sound of footsteps, the two figures disappeared in the far corridor.
Only masked guards and cloaked women remain.
"Three venomous crossbow arrows of bluegrass pierced through the chest, and you can't stand up in just one night." The woman in the cloak looked at the vaguely figured Yodel, and sighed deeply: "You are with Is the mask traded?"
"I have warned you many times! The collapse of the ancient elves kingdom has nothing to do with that mask! And you..."
"What did you give this time?"
Yordel did not speak, he just remained silent and touched the purple mask on his face.
"No matter what I give," Yodel's figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a hoarse voice: "It's not as good as the child will pay, one ten thousandth."
