Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 14: Nantrester’s proposal
Early in the morning, in Yongxing City, on the gallop to the north gate, a group of soldiers from the city defense team looked far away from the people in the open space ahead, and consciously prevented others from approaching.
"Don't worry, I am not stupid enough to openly kill the prince in the capital."
I saw the Duke of the Guardian of the Cliff Land, Gusde Nantreste, standing tall and tall in the middle of the road, flicking the snow covering the giant horned deer sign on the cloak, coldly tunnel:
"I just want to see him."
He stood in front of the continuous convoy, looking at the guarded private soldiers of the stars, waiting for their master's answer.
Gilbert stepped out of the carriage and looked at the giant horned deer carriage parked not far away, several guards from the South Triest’s house, and another carriage marked by tricolor iris in the distance, wrinkled Brow:
"My lord of South Trieste, if you want to see off the mission, you can wait at the North Gate... Intercepting halfway is really not the style that a lord should have."
"It's not just me," Gusde said with a bad face, and pointed to the carriage in the distance: "There is also the kid with the three-color iris."
Gilbert thought quickly about the situation.
"We all know that although he is only seven or eight years old, he is not an ordinary child," Gusted flicked his cloak impatiently. "Tell the news to the second prince and let him make the decision."
A childish voice came from the third carriage:
"It's okay, Gilbert! Let me take care of it."
Thales opened the car door, and accompanied by the nervous-looking Wya Casso and Midila Rolfe, who was on the verge of an enemy, he walked to Gust with a calm expression.
Kusde stared at the child with complicated eyes, and turned to the side of the road.
Thales took a deep breath, nodded, waved to the attendant and the ghost of the wind, followed Gust, and walked to the side of the road.
"What's the drama?" The deputy envoy of the mission and the prince's instructor, the skinny Lord Putilai stepped out of the carriage impatiently, as if being interrupted by a good morning.
Gilbert shook his head: "The kingdom fights."
"So peaceful?" Putila narrowed his eyes and looked at the two figures of the Duke of Yadi and the second prince in the distance.
"Peace?" Gilbert frowned and glanced at his old friend.
"It’s so peaceful that I’m almost crying," Putila pouted and sarcastically said: "You should go to the Eastern Continent, go to the sacred capital of Qilin, and see what the Chen family and eunuchs and nobles belong to in the Yuye Dynasty. Infighting-of course, you have never been, and it is normal for you to be shallow."
Gilbert exhaled dissatisfiedly, unable to find any valid words to refute him.
Damn bard.
Thales looked at the ugly deer Duke who looked bad before him, thinking deeply about the other party's intention.
He must have come with some purpose.
But we are destined to be enemies.
Be vigilant.
"I didn't expect that the first person to come was you." Thales said silently.
Kosde snorted softly.
"I don't want to see you in front of so many people... Falkenhauser's cynicism is too annoying," the one-eyed dragon stared at him coldly, "Boy, I know you are smart-no more nonsense, Listen..."
"I don't like you—no one has ever dared to call me a hypocrite."
Tells helplessly spread out his hands: "Then what do you want me to call you? Acting school? The actor? The head of Yue?"
Kusde ignored his "crazy words", his blind left eye scarred fiercely:
"But I can still put aside my prejudices. In the future, the cliff land can fully support you to become the supreme king, suppress those eager nobles, and the unpredictable lord-the giant horned deer is your master, and the star is still The royal family."
Thales was taken aback.
What?
"I thought," Thales quivered between his eyebrows: "The giant horned deer is already out of love with me."
But Gusde ignored him.
"There is only one condition." The Cyclops spoke in a clear-cut way.
"Sure enough," Thales, who was frightened by the abnormality of the cyclops, breathed a sigh of relief: "You won't show good to me for no reason."
"War must have a price, victory must have a reward. (War_comes_in_price_as_victory_comes_comes_in_trophy)" Guusde narrowed his only eye: "This is the ethnic language of the Nantriste family."
The traverser raised his head and stared at the cyclops.
"So, what ‘price’ should I pay to get your ‘reward’?" Thales, who was extremely alert, cautiously said.
"It's very simple," Kosde said with a sharp expression:
"Your Majesty Kessel abdicated, you are crowned king in advance."
abdicated... crowned...
What...
What?
Thales spent three seconds understanding this sentence.
Then he changed color suddenly!
Kosde didn't mean to joke at all, and kept looking at him seriously.
The two looked directly at each other for five seconds.
"Ha, I actually tried to provoke the only pair of Canstar father and son," Thales grinned: "Don't you know that the reason why I have everything now depends on your... father. Right?"
"This is not a provocation, but a sincere proposal and invitation." The Cyclops did not change his expression and his tone was serious:
"What we fear and hate is not Can Xing, nor you. Compared with the kingdom, our grievances are not-but your father."
"The King of Iron Fists."
Thales looked at the Cyclops with burning eyes
"Why do you think the ‘Rising Star’ was formed? Do you think Aarond’s behavior was really just because of personal hatred and dissatisfaction?" Kosted said seriously like never before:
"This is all for the lords to protect themselves! In order to survive our family from the founding of the country..."
"Enough!"
Thales interrupted him without hesitation.
Just kidding, this level of provocation...
"I only see you persecuting the disaster-stricken royal family and your father," Thales said coldly: "Questioning my identity and obstructing the rights I deserve..."
But the Cyclops' complexion changed, angrily interrupted him loudly!
just listen to him say: "Little devil! If you can only hear the story of the tragic king and the resolute royal family described by the royalists-then you can just goug your eyes and leave only your ears. Up!"
Thales was taken aback.
The one-eyed dragon let out a few breaths, and said to him word by word: "You look down on your father too, the king of iron fists, and the fear he gives to the stars."
Kosde slowly and authentically:
"Since his **** years, Kessel has become more and more domineering, almost frantically grabbing power."
"From the establishment of a blade-led duchess who can only survive on the prestige of the royal family, she indirectly controls the two major families in the southwest-the piranhas that control the southwestern mouth of the kingdom and the richest sunrise."
"Until he has taken over the'three marshals' in an exceptional manner, and established an astonishing royal standing army."
"The central tax bill that weakened the major lords, the regular convocation bill, and the border county development bill that produced a large number of new nobles."
" and his favorite country is the conference—the high council that uses thousands of public opinions to force the lords to submit to the royal family, such as the desert war, the succession to the throne, and the high council where the lords jointly voice It’s in vain, only the king’s voice and cheers in the square can be heard when making decisions."
"He even wants to intervene in the inheritance of the six giants and thirteen prominent families."
"Even Kevin Deere was in the family fighting two years ago, he was in his shadow."
Thyls's heart shuddered.
What is this...?
Kosde said with a dark face:
"Do you think that when the national war is about to come, no one is willing to send troops to the king-are we really ignoring the stars?"
"Your father, and his wrists are terrible."
"Let him do it for 20 years, our 19 nobles, from power, wealth, status to people and territories, will be eaten clean...or surrender, or destroyed-the stars will return to the empire The system! With such a king here, how can we not panic, how can we not resist, how can we not protect ourselves with all our strength?"
Kursd has a monocular fire, oppressively stepping forward:
"You see... the Northern Territory was pushed back, the blade leader almost became Wang Ji, the South Bank leader was badly injured by the family struggle, the East Sea leader was scared into a tortoise, and the Western Wilderness took advantage of the importance of the western front. Protect yourself," his eyes were stern and solemn: "And Yadi, I don't want to sit and wait for death."
"The new star uses Exter's power to contain Kessel's kingship-we are already desperate, and we are the last one except to raise arms."
Kost gritted his teeth: "We did not succeed, this is a trivial matter..."
"But if Kessel continues to go his own way..."
Thales looked at the Duke of Clifford in shock.
This is another version of what he heard about the current state of the stars.
is far different from the version Gilbert instilled in him.
"The Scarlet Year changed him. Kessel is like a real imperial emperor," Gusted said with a stern voice: "I want to dominate everything in this country."
"He treats every lord as an enemy, never shows mercy in suppressing calculations, and treats the stars as his own wagon, his whip and spurs are unrestrained..."
"The ones that can be used are the bargaining chips, the ones that are unavailable are suppressed and cleared. Those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will die."
Thales frowned tightly, remembering that when the country was the beginning of the meeting, several earls questioned the king's power.
"This is not a good thing, whether it is to our lord, or to the star, or to the whole star..."
"This ancient country, if it continues like this, sooner or later, there will be catastrophes!" Gust gritted his teeth, his monocular vision was like electricity:
"You are about to go to Exeter, this is not a good job...but it allows you to see another star from another angle-look at the children of the North Wind and the Dragon, how they see us ."
Thales lowered his head, stroking his breath.
"Why did Tormond meet with the lords to rule together? Isn't it because the tyrants of the two empires led to its own final destruction?"
Thales opened his mouth, but then swallowed the word "disaster" into his belly.
He had a hunch that the end of the empire might not be as simple as Gilbert’s "disaster strike".
"If your goal is just to become a tyrant like your father, at the cost of star demise," Gusted turned around sternly ~ IndoMTL.com~ pulled up his cloak, "Then I will not be today Said this."
The one-eyed dragon looked at Thales, who was in deep thought, with complicated eyes: "But you said that day... If you care about the stability and security of the stars, peace and prosperity... If this is your desire, not the supremacy The only king..."
"Then my proposal will be valid forever."
The Duke of South Triest left his last words and turned and left:
"Safe journey, don't embarrass the stars."
Thales stared at the leaving cyclops.
This person...
This is the Duke Yadi who forced the king to establish a crown at the meeting with the country. It is a completely different Kost.
No, he told himself: These are all the other party’s tricks, to corrupt Kessel’s image, to separate their father and son...
And-a long-lasting voice rang in my mind
[From a feudal country to a centralized absolutist country, it is the only way for almost all European countries...]
But Thales still squeezed his fist gently.
He raised his head and looked at Gusde, who was going away, and the one who had passed him by-Jayne Kevin Deere.
"I hope I didn't bother you." Jane saluted gracefully.
"Where," Gusde replied coldly: "Be less deceived, don't take me as the man behind the assassination, I will be satisfied."
Jane's face was stagnant, and he watched Gusd get onto the carriage.
Thales, who felt like he was upright, sighed deeply, looked at Jen, and asked angrily:
