Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 46: Blood Ceremony

　　 But Thales hasn't finished.

　　"Since the assassin's target is you...Who would want your life?"

　　 "My lord, you might as well think about it," Thales’ voice was like a hammer covered with thorns, and it struck Jayne’s heart: "What did you do that day and see anyone Does anyone know where you are?"

　　 Jen exhaled deeply without showing his expression, but the scene that day could not be restrained and appeared in his mind.

　　 He saw Gilbert among the assassins, so he helped out in order to buy people's hearts.

　　 those assassins.

　　 That boy.

　　 and—the ones who knew where he was going, those people.

　　 Thales coldly said, "Are you those who you think are your allies? Those who work together for a better star? Those who have promised you a better future People?"

　　 Thales turned his head and sighed: "Yes, among those who are qualified to sit on the throne, you are the youngest, the best image, the most popular, and the most likely candidate—they Did you tell you the same way?"

　　The crowd holding their breath finally started to make noise.

　　In the field, everyone reacted differently to Thales’ performance.

　　 Behind Count Karabyyan, the young Cohen Inspector stared at the boy in surprise.

　　He... is he really only six or seven years old?

　　 When I was seven years old... Forget it.

　　 so as not to be sad.

　　 But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps going.

　　 I saw the old Count Karabyan turning his head, looking at Cohen with a scrutinizing gaze, then at Thales.

　　 Under Cohen's increasingly suspicious expression, the old earl looked back and forth several times.

　　 Finally, the old earl looked at Cohen, sighed in disappointment, turned his head and looked at Thales.

　　 Cohen, with only one face left innocent, suddenly realized, then lowered his head in frustration.

　　 old man, are you as for!

　　 People can’t be compared like this!

　　 "Black Prophet" Morat exhaled gently, looking at Thales with complicated expressions.

　　 Earlier, I seemed to underestimate him.

　　 The notorious head of secret science quietly said to Raphael behind him:

　　"This kid... is really unexpected... If he is the king you will serve in the future..."

　　"The advantage is that you can save a lot of worry, but the disadvantage is that you can't worry about it."

　　 Facing the seemingly contradictory words, Raphael nodded solemnly.

　　 He understood.

　　Kaiser V looked at his son, his eyes flickering, he turned his head slightly, and whispered to Jini beside him:

　　 "The kid, have you learned eloquence and speech from Gilbert, or reasoning and observation with you?"

　　 "No," Jini looked at the calmly commenting boy in the center of the venue with a bitter and relieved smile: "That kid is special."

　　 "It's special," Kessel V thought for a while, then snorted, his face showing sadness and complexity: "Yes."

　　 "Just like his mother."

　　 Jini's face became stiff.

　　 Kessel's gaze returned to Thales.

　　 "Enough!"

　　 Kosde angrily threw his hand on the thaw seat, interrupting Thales, he looked angrily at Kessel with a playful look in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the farce should be over... Our topic is... "

　　"The Cyclops of South Trieste! Why are you so anxious?"

　　 Everyone turned their heads and was surprised to see that the person who made the noise was the Duke of the North!

　　 I saw Val raised his head coldly: "Could it be that it will be against you to listen to him?"

　　Kost was speechless for a while.

　　 "And you, the old bones of Falkenhausen," Vaal's eyes were filled with fire. He turned his head and looked at the man who described the withered and terrifying face, and the words with deep meaning were extremely sharp:

　　 "In this case, you didn't gloat, you didn't say anything ironic, it's really rare."

　　 "Thank you for reminding me that I was just about to speak, haha..." Cyril Falkenhauser, who was a bit slower, pointed at the awkward Jen and laughed.

　　 But only those who know him best know that he smiled dryly at this moment: "It seems that you have been put together, the little duke who is still sucking!"

　　 "As for you, Duke Cullen, our Prime Minister," Waal looked at the fat Duke opposite, and dropped a word disdainfully: "It's still the same stable."

　　 Duke Cullen smiled honestly.

　　 Janen clenched his fists, maintained the only demeanor he had, and tried not to look at those people.

　　 those few people.

　　If, if I were to die...Who would benefit from those people--he couldn't restrain the doubt in his heart and began to think about these things.

　　 "Okay, kid," Jen, who was quite pale on his face, tried to smile and said weakly: "No matter what you say, there is no evidence..."

　　 "My Lord Duke!"

　　 Thales looked at the young Duke with indifferent eyes. He deliberately avoided the "evidence" and deliberately guided the thinking of him and the audience: "What is your status in the group that intends to throne? ?"

　　 "Yeah, it sounds unreasonable. You have more than one person in your group. If you are killed, everyone will be in danger, and the alliance will not dissolve and dissolve."

　　"Why did the black hand behind the scenes assassinate you and do something to destroy the plan?"

　　 "Unless," Thales sighed again: "There is a more terrifying possibility."

　　 Jane closed his eyes and bowed his head slightly.

　　He is not a fool.

　　 "That is, everyone else in the group knows that you are destined to be sacrificed," Thales walked around Jen, posing a sympathetic look, and patted Iris The shoulders of the flower family:

　　 "Your death is part of the plan-you are the betrayed person, the only abandoned child."

　　"It’s the same, young and promising, superb methods, rich family background, and high popularity. If you are on the throne like this, even if you choose the throne of the king, it will take a few years. Kevin Deere is another A star royal family, began to check and balance the lords-and even if you fight your life, you can live longer than all of them."

　　"Then what is the difference if they change the royal family or not?"

　　"The master of the tricolor iris was assassinated in the capital. The nobles will only be more frightened, the pressure of the war will only be heavier, and the accusations against your Majesty will only be greater. The conspiracy to force an heir may be smoother. "

　　"The crown will also be worn on the heads of people they prefer."

　　 Jane's expression is indifferent, but everyone can see that his gaze hasn't moved for a long time.

　　 "You were betrayed before you put on that crown." Thales shook his head funny like a little adult: "After all, you are still too young to make friends."

　　 "They probably borrowed a lot of power from you and the Kevin Deere family, and they prepared for a long time, but whatever they promised you," Thales walked back to Kessel, and left a cold sentence: "I'm not ready to honor it."

　　"Please think carefully, and then reconsider your position. You are a wise man, who are you more willing to choose as your ally? Who is the king, who is the most beneficial to the blooming of iris?"

　　Jane did not speak any more, nor looked at Thales, he just stared at the ground in front of him, seeming to be particularly interested in the texture on the floor tiles.

　　At this time, Thales suddenly looked back.

　　 He cried out strangely to the lords on the stone seat:

　　 "Don't move."

　　 Many lords frowned.

　　 Thales' gaze scanned everyone's face carefully, as if he would not let every pore be let go.

　　He said coldly: "Don't move, betray Jen's accomplices, don't turn the beginning, don't look away, look at my eyes... I can smell your guilty conscience and fear from your expressions."

　　 Janen also raised his head quickly and looked at the lords.

　　 The breathing of some lords stopped in an instant!

　　 But the next moment, Thales suddenly relaxes.

　　 I saw him spread out his hand and laughed and said:

　　 "Don't be nervous."

　　 "I was kidding."

　　 Some lords took a breath and looked at Thales, either secretly gritting their teeth or clenching their fists.

　　 Is he on purpose?

　　"But if you see the example of iris, you will understand," Thales looked at the lords, his face replied serious:

　　 "Once the star is extinct, no matter any other wealthy or prominent family ascends to the throne, whether before or after ascending to the throne, whether they are weak or strong, the new royal family will eventually become the next target for the lords."

　　 "Without external enemies, you yourself will kill each other on a balance of power that is no longer balanced until the stars are destroyed."

　　"I don’t care who among you planned this conspiracy, this plan, or who really wants the throne—after all, in many people’s eyes, since the royal family’s extinction is a foregone conclusion, it is natural to choose the one that best suits you. The future of interest."

　　 "But, I am standing here now."

　　 "For the stability of the stars and for your own benefit."

　　 "The survival of the Canstar royal family is the stability of the stars and the greatest hope."

　　"Everyone, for everything, please, like your ancestors, unswervingly support Canstar and support me."

　　 The crowd's discussion became louder and louder, and many people began to applaud.

　　 Like a coincidence, the cheers from the square also came in bursts—I don’t know where the guards passed the words in the hall.

　　 Thales did not look at the expressions of the lords. In fact, he enjoyed it more and imagined their expressions.

　　 Gilbert finally took a breath and whispered to Thales who came back:

　　 "It's... impressive, little sir."

　　"The iris flower has disappeared in suspicion and suspicion, and the giant horned deer is also greatly reduced."

　　 "But you're so sure that those assassins went to the iris?" Gilbert lowered his head and asked quietly.

　　 "Of course I can't be sure," Thales smiled at him, looking at Jen, who was looking down in the distance and thinking, no longer speaking, his eyes revealed:

　　 "But he doesn't know, does he."

　　"Everything must be focused-the important thing is not the assassins, but the assassins that Jane saw with his own eyes."

　　 Feeling the solemn gaze from Kessel V, Thales, who is quite stressed, tried his best to maintain his breathing, briskly and authentically:

　　 "As just now, the important thing is not whether my identity can be recognized, but who is unwilling to recognize my identity."

　　 "I still want to say, although it is fun, but what you just did is not a clever way of governing," In Thales's puzzled eyes, Gilbert could only sigh and whispered: " You will understand later."

　　 "The nonsense is over here!"

　　 "This is meaningless!"

　　 an angry one-eyed dragon, the Duke of South Triest slapped the stone seat fiercely and scanned the audience oppressively: "Did you forget? Until now, he has not proven his identity!"

　　 "Your Majesty has no heirs for twelve years, but a six or seven-year-old kid suddenly jumped out and said he was a descendant of the royal family?"

　　 "Still utterly utterly talking at the national conference..."

　　 "Duke Kosde Nantreste, why are you still entangled with my identity?" Thales sighed and interrupted him loudly: "Don't understand? My father, I'm already ready Everything."

　　 Thales raised his head slightly, revealing an innocent smile.

　　 "I thought that a hypocrite like you, who is concerned about the country and the people, should be overjoyed for the return of Canxing's blood."

　　The ominous feeling struck the Cyclops.

　　 Just then, the crowd began to clamor again.

　　A new person stepped into the Hall of Stars.

　　 Thales turned his head, and his eyes lit up.

　　A graceful, feminine lady, dressed in a dark sacrificial robe of half a red sun, accompanied by a nervous little girl sacrificially, walked slowly out of the passage forcibly separated by the guards.

　　 Many civilians knelt down religiously and bowed their heads to the lady in prayer.

　　 When the nobles saw the half-round of the red sun, many people already understood what.

　　 "Very good," Falkenhauser narrowed his eyes. "The king and nobleman, as well as the gods, the three pillars of the stars are all gathered."

　　 The moment the Duke of the North saw the incoming person, his pupils shrank sharply and couldn't help leaning forward.

　　 "From now on, be cautious in your words and deeds," Count Karabyan poked out his head solemnly, toward his wife and nephew, who was also shocked at the moment, Count Dele Colomo whispered: "Things have left the lord We are in control."

　　 "I'm afraid, the gods are also involved."

　　 Under the gaze of everyone's attention, the human spokesperson of the Goddess of Sunset, and the chief priest of the Temple of Sunset, Li Xia Allende, gracefully stepped onto the area of ​​the stone seat.

　　 "Li Xia." Val Allende was stunned. His originally lonely expression gradually became complicated after seeing his sister.

　　 so many years...

　　 But the chief priest didn't look at his brother, just stepped forward.

　　 Kosde had an ugly face. He wanted to exchange glances with Jaen as usual, but found that Jaen had a cold look and didn't even look at him.

　　 Cyclops is bitter in his heart.

　　 "Priest Li Xia," Kessel V stood up solemnly: "Sunset Temple, the spokesperson of the goddess."

　　"The authority of the king, the oath of the nobles, the witness of the gods-these are the three most important proofs when the stars are established."

　　"Today, more than six hundred years later, please still have the goddess of the setting sun to witness the continuation of the celestial vein."

　　 The whole hall was in an uproar again.

　　 Li Xia, who was expressionless, bowed and nodded slightly.

　　 But she didn't answer immediately, but kneeled up to the sky and closed her eyes.

　　 Thales looked curiously at this high priest who was not waiting to see him.

　　 Is this—communicating with God?

　　 But suddenly, an unspeakable feeling hit Thales' heart, making him very uncomfortable.

　　 A sound like tinnitus suddenly sounded!

　　 "Beep——"

　　 He was shocked, resisting the desire to reach out and cover his ears, looking around.

　　 But the people in the hall, whether they are nobles or ordinary people, did not make a sound, nor did they have any impatience.

　　 Is it...

　　 until the tinnitus disappears.

　　The people around are all normal.

　　 seems to be the only one who heard tinnitus?

　　The traveler has never known what kind of gods in this world exist.

　　 But now...

　　 Thales has one more doubt.

　　 for a while, Li Xiya lightly opened her eyes and stood up and said: "The goddess agrees, Your Majesty."

　　 Duke Cullen sighed.

　　 He already knows the outcome of the matter.

　　 Gusde clenched his fist tightly, his eyes shone with coldness.

　　 Falkenhauser chuckled.

　　 and Jane thoughtfully looked at Thales, who was the focus of the audience.

　　 Kessel V nodded slightly.

　　 He suddenly grabbed Thales' hand!

　　shengsheng scared the traveler!

　　 "Come with me," Kessel said without a doubt, "Your bloodline should be seen by all the stars."

　　 Thales was stunned, allowing King Kessel V to pull him, walked down the round platform surrounded by the stone pedestal, and walked to the terrace next to Xingju Square.

　　 To be honest, he—really a bit uncomfortable.

　　 Maybe because, from the bottom of his heart, he still hasn't regarded this strong man as his father?

　　 The noble lords on the other nineteen stone seats stood up and followed the king and his son to the wide terrace. Many small and medium nobles around also wanted to follow, but they were ignored by the guards’ anti-impact shields and electric shock sticks. Forced back mercifully.

　　 Thales went to the terrace and looked down.

　　 is the afternoon, and the sky is just right.

　　He then held his breath.

　　人.

　　 Many people!

　　 densely packed people!

　　 The entire Xingju Square is full of people!

　　 there are at least tens of thousands!

　　 like an ant, covering all the ground in his field of vision below!

　　 It's not that Thales has never been to Xingju Square, he also stood on the square, looking up at the magnificent Fuxing Palace.

　　 But he never, standing on the terrace of the Hall of Stars of Fuxing Palace, looking down at the entire Xingju Square!

　　 Even though he has been a traverser for two lifetimes, his mouth opened wide when he saw this scene.

　　 Soon, the people on the square noticed, and there were two more people on the terrace.

　　 After confirming that it is the king and his blood.

　　 Unprecedented cheers, from the crowd in the square, overwhelmingly resounded!

　　"The King——The King——"

　　"Can stars-Long live -"

　　"Stars——Stars——"

　　"Did you see it?" Kessel still held his hand and slowly said, "This is our subjects, our burden, and our responsibility."

　　 The Supreme King asked profoundly: "Are you ready, are you born for the stars?"

　　 Before Thales could answer, Li Xia, with a cold face, walked up.

　　 The young female priest seemed very nervous. Under Li Xiya's gesture, she tremblingly brought a plate with a precious dagger on it.

　　"Blood Ceremony?"

　　 Duke Cullen was supported by two attendants. After walking to the terrace, he shook his head: "It's a ritual that has not been used for nearly two hundred years. When was the last time? Prince Keira's blood recognition ceremony?"

　　 No one answered him.

The Duke of the Northern Territory on the side of 　　 stared blankly at his sister, whom he had not seen for many years,

　　 It's just that Li Xiya didn't even look at him.

　　 The graceful chief priest walked slowly between the king and Thales.

　　 Under the gaze of the entire square, Kessel gently picked up the dagger~IndoMTL.com~ Cut off his left index finger and put the dagger back.

　　 The sacrificial girl brought the plate in front of Thales. She was only eleven or twelve years old, but it seemed that it was the first time she came to such a highly anticipated occasion, and she was shaking with tension.

　　 "Don't be nervous, it's okay." Thales smiled at her, picked up the dagger marked with the red sun, and cut the palm of his left hand.

　　 Li Xiya stretched out her hands blankly and grabbed the king and Thales respectively.

　　 Then she raised her head.

　　 is completely different from the lengthy prayer ceremony that Thales had expected.

　　 Because the next moment, Li Xia's eyes burst out in an instant, exactly the same bright light as in the stone house!

　　The terrace and the people vying to watch behind the terrace suddenly became quiet, and more civilians began to kneel down, facing the light in the center of the terrace, and began to pray with their eyes closed.

　　 The light is getting stronger and stronger!

　　 Even the people on the square began to see clearly in the daytime!

　　 In the square, almost all civilians who have no right to enter the Hall of Stars.

　　Almost all the people on the square knelt down reverently, and began to pray toward the Fuxing Palace above their heads.

　　 The devout kneeling of the believers made the entire Stars Gathering Square, viewed from the terrace of the Hall of Stars, change color like waves.

　　 But Thales didn't have the energy to watch this spectacle.

　　 and the traverser was surprised to see that the blood on himself and Kessel were floating under the light in the eyes of the chief priest!

　　 then connected into a red light.

　　 is this?

　　 Thales looked at the light suspiciously.
