Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 118: Finally married family

In the curfew camp of Bladeya, there is nothing but wind on the street.

The two in the hut are facing each other silently, each thoughtful.

"I have seen the tragedy of the black sand collar, and after returning from Fengzhao City, in those days when I was the most depressed, decadent, frustrated, bored, and conflicted with my father, I returned to my old fiefdom and locked myself Got up."

Quick Rope looked at the erratic lights faintly.

"In the wild in a remote country, I met Dana."

Hearing the strange name, Thales frowned:

"Dana?"

Quick Rope still looks in a trance.

"On the surface, she is just an ordinary shepherdess."

"When that afternoon, I said impatiently that I was a relative of the nearby order officer, and it was only an accident to break into the sheep pen she was guarding, let alone steal her sheep, she immediately beamed her eyes to me. Ten silver coins, just to frighten one of her milk sheep."

Quickline was immersed in the past memories and grinned: "Lost a milky ewe, turn around and knock on a rich fat lamb, why not?"

"This is how we know the domineering shepherdess and the self-defeating sheep thief."

Thyls looked at the other's expression, and found that the fast rope's eyes were extremely gentle.

"Is there anything special about her?" he couldn't help asking.

Quickline raised his head and raised his mouth.

"Oh, Dana is the most special." Like an ordinary person showing off his virtuous wife to his neighbors, Fast Rope has a funny expression and a triumphant tone: "Especially after being raised by a rude dwarf old man."

"She is always smiling, lively and unrestrained, even after the unfortunate death of her adoptive father. Even by the standards of the northern people, she does not restrain her dwarf adoptive father to teach her to drive sheep by teaching her to swing a hammer. , God, it hurts to be drawn on her shepherd's stick."

Molar, who changed his name and surname, is still smiling, and Thales read from his complaint the unique ease of fast rope.

Obviously, he didn't hate Dana's cane as he said.

"Dana works two jobs, one shepherds milking, and the other helps in the tavern, but she is a shrewd girl."

Speaking of that girl, her eyebrows were flying brightly: "She once waved her cane and drove five or six sheep thieves away, beat the hidden village chief to piss, and she also used to talk witty words and scorn her for opportunities. Alcoholic drinkers coax their money bags empty. She knows how to play tricks on the tavern owner who deducts her wages, and she can fight back against the boss’ daughter who bullies her."

Following the other's narration, Thales lowered his head and described this unusual shepherd girl in his head: hot, cheerful, and waving a cane like a fierce and cute little wolf pup, using his forelimbs to protect With his own food, he spread his teeth and claws around.

"She often counts the coins hidden under the bed with dazzling eyes, but not like other girls in the village, just to save her dowry, and then rely on a man who is willing to marry her to make a living, or dress up I have to show off, looking forward to becoming the mistress of a big man."

"Because she always believes that her life will not be restricted by anything."

Quickrope's eyes dimmed: "It's the opposite of mine."

He stared at the lights obsessively: "She believes that one day, she will save enough money, and then board the carriage going outside the village, arrive at the port of Elk City, buy a boat, and become an expedition. The female navigator of China travels around the world, shining her life in the stormy waves and mirages."

Female navigator.

Thyls remembered something and looked at the fast rope subconsciously.

"But she didn't know that, except for passengers, sailing ships do not accept women. They think women on the sea are ominous," the express rope lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth still raised: "An old sailor told me that she said she didn’t like it. Same sex."

Thyls didn't speak.

"I don’t know if it’s love, or just a green affection, but at least when I lie next to Dana, smelling the scent of goat’s milk on her body, watching her cheerful smile, and even tasting When her lips are soft, I can forget many unsatisfactory things."

Quick rope said in a daze: "In front of her, I am Moral, not the heir to the walking dead. I can speak out my true desires and ideas aloud, without saying my desire to travel around the world. Cheng is the dream of being a mercenary to show that he is a tough Northland soldier."

The fast rope stopped, as if savoring the mood at that moment.

The moonlight was shrouded in clouds, the inferior lamp oil was slowly depleted, and the simple clay houses were getting dim.

But no one wants to turn the lights back on.

"What happened later?" Thales said in the dark.

Quickline took a breath and changed position.

He seemed to have just recovered and continued his story: "In this way, I went back and forth between Longxiao City and the fief, witnessing the darkness and distortion of power, and feeling Dana's happiness and tenderness. "

"For Dana, for her ideal of traveling around the world, I tried to meet my father's request against my heart, but only resisted his urge to marry him. I tried my best to convince him that the future dragon Grand Duke Xiaocheng must have a wife who is in line with political interests, so he can't rush."

"Father was actually very pleased. He thought that I had become acquainted and knew how to weigh the pros and cons for Longxiao City. Although he didn't know the reason why I suddenly cheered up, he didn't care so much. He probably thought I would be disciplined with Su Same as Lille."

Quick rope sneered, a faint sadness in the laughter.

"But, of course, this can't be long."

"Father still found a good wife for me, and asked me to try it under the name of modification, although she and her family are in the enemy country."

.

The enemy country.

At that moment, Thales looked up abruptly, unable to hide his surprise.

"So, your envoy six years ago..."

Quick rope nodded, and sighed silently: "Yes, six years ago, according to the plan, after the revision, Longxiao City will be their heir, the feud to the Lombard family, the noble descendant of the empire, the Duke of Arund’s The only daughter asks for a kiss."

He shook his head in disgust: "Although Exeter just hanged the old Duke Allende in the winter castle more than ten years ago."

Thyls frowned: "Miranda? How is it possible?"

Quickline sighed.

"Whether asking for marriage is still just a means, my father does not want to allow the Star Kingdom to slowly recover after the war, nor does he want to use the black sand to take the fortress as an excuse to support himself. He wants to test King Kessel and the Arund family. , Hit the black sand collar by the way, the reaction of these three will tell us what to do next."

"So this is the meaning of your mission," Thales said in a daze:

"Prepare for the next war or negotiation, whether it is a star or a black sand collar."

Rising stars, and dragon blood.

He tensed his arms.

Quick rope snorted, his tone revealing sarcasm: "Yes, whether it is to draw your north, divide the interior of the stars, or modify to obtain benefits, suppress the black sand collar, by the way, accumulate the prestige of the future king... …Father, he is always so well-planned. He can do multiple things in one fell swoop. A simple thing can be played by him in a variety of ways and has far-reaching significance."

Speaking of King Nunn, the mood of Fast Rope has been depressed a lot.

"Don’t play against him on the same board, Thales, because you don’t know how deep his tricks are in this game, how many cards he has," the fast rope expression was indifferent: "And those who were caught by the father Playing with people who clap and don’t know it is extremely sad."

Don't play against him on the same board...

Playing with clapping people who don’t know it...

Thyls's breathing started quickly.

He remembered the conversation with King Chaman in the carriage.

When talking about King Nunn, both he and Charman can feel the awe and chill in the eyes of the other person.

Who ever thought that a person who has been dead for many years could make them so embarrassed?

The tone of the fast rope is full of complicated melancholy: "I guess, Chaman and Conkley, they finally realized this point after countless failures against the king: Don't play games with King Nunn."

The two were silent for a while.

"What happened later was probably a model for many knight novels and bardics," Kuaisheng smiled reluctantly: "My father finally found out that his son and heir were actually infatuated with a shepherdess in the country. Resist his mission."

Thyls raised his brows: "I guess, the natural king is not too happy."

"Not so happy?"

Quickrope sneered, with a faint resentment: "Your words are too polite, Thales."

"And then?" Thales asked.

Quickly, the rope paused.

At this moment, his silhouette in the dark became bleak and desolate.

"Father sent someone to my fief privately, Thales."

Quickrope lost and said: "He found Dana."

"He found her."

Long silence.

For a long while, Thales asked with difficulty:

"What happened?"

Quickline didn't seem to have the motivation and motivation to continue, but he spoke again after all, this time his voice became hoarse.

"Dana is dead."

The speaker is like a walking dead, motionless, lifeless: "On the day I heard the news and hurried back to the fief."

Thyls held his breath.

The fast rope was dry and authentic, as if telling someone else’s story: "I pushed the Blade Guard away madly, but only found her cold body in the sheepfold with a smile on her face."

"She was poisoned to death."

Quickline's voice trembled, with a shallow cry of fear and regret.

"They told me that she committed suicide by taking poison, but...Tels..."

Poisoned.

At that moment, Thales thought of the night in the Palace of Valor.

Think of King Nunn’s delicate ring.

Triumphantly.

Think of the girl once, Alex.

Talston shuddered at times.

The Star Prince held back without speaking.

Only the painful wheezing of the fast rope remained in the room.

Finally, the mood of the fast rope calmed down.

"Chain."

Thyls came back to his senses: "What?"

"That chain of power, Thales," I don't know where to start, and the voice of the fast rope brings a touch of determination:

"That night, I stared at Dana's body blankly, just like I looked at Suriel's body."

"I suddenly understood, I never got rid of it."

Tyles listened quietly, but what came to his mind was the underground tomb in the Fuxing Palace, the large and small stone pots and urns.

Lyman Pass in the Black Sands.

The ghost prince tower in the bladeya camp.

Boom.

The fast rope leaned back and slammed the back of his head against the wall.

"From the beginning of my birth, I was under such a chain, whether it made me restrain myself, settle for the status quo, be an obedient and harmless viscount, or urge me to turn to the path and be ambitious , The king who frightened everyone, never escaped."

He gritted his teeth and said: "I'm deceiving myself as it loosens and tightens, pulling one after another."

"I finally understand."

The fast rope came to the edge of the bed. He put his legs down on the ground, put his elbows on his knees, leaned forward, and stared straight at Thales.

"I will either obey, give in, and let it lock my body and mind tighter," the tone of the fast rope made Thales' heart tighten: "Or abandon it completely."

"Become who you are."

Thyls was silent.

"Moral is already dead, Thales, not when he was assassinated by the celestial man, or when he escaped from the Palace of Valor," the fast rope said coldly: "but when he was the son of Nunn, He was already dead when he started his life as Walton's bloodline."

"It wasn't until the night when I climbed the black path hard and climbed out of Longxiao City, where the man named Moral came alive for the first time."

"On that day, I saw that I was really saving myself with my own hands, reversing my fate, and after severely smashing all fantasies and flukes." In the darkness, Quick Rope's eyes gleamed :

"Completely spurn the name of power, it is actually a chain of imprisonment, and sternly said to it and everything it represents,'no' including the forced restraint of the so-called'responsibility', including being praised by others. Hypocritical pretense of virtue, including self-deception, which is called "righteousness"."

The voice of the fast rope disappeared, leaving nothing but determination and determination.

After a long time, Thales struggled to speak out with a lot of emotion.

"So you chose to leave."

Thyls sighed: "No matter what kind of infamy you might carry: coward, timid, or evasive."

Quickline laughed disapprovingly: "Whatever you think, but I..."

But Thales’ next sentence made the fast rope a little stunned:

"Perhaps sometimes, it takes more courage to follow the path other people have imagined than to follow the mundane gaze."

Thyls's tone was a little sigh.

"Perhaps." The expression in the fast rope's eyes slowly changed as he watched him, no longer the kind of joking, but serious and serious.

The moonlight reappeared in the clouds, shed silver light.

The two princes looked at each other quietly.

Thyls felt the firmness, determination, and vague hesitation and confusion in the other's eyes.

"But how did you do it, fast rope," Thales couldn't help asking, "Never look back?"

"Those... can you really put them down easily?"

"In the days you left, never regretted it?"

This time it was the fast rope's turn to stop.

He was thinking.

For a moment, Thales found a struggle in his eyebrows.

But the fast rope finally stretched his brows.

"Six years ago, when I survived from the sea, when I heard about the drastic changes in Exeter and the death of my father... I was shocked, desperate, and regretful."

"But like I said," Quickline sighed deeply:

"Father's ending is destined, whether I am or not."

"And Dragon City and Exter...I'm there. They may get better or worse, but I don't think they will get better or worse because of me alone."

At that moment, the express rope is like an old sailor who has experienced too many winds and waves. In the evening after returning from the last voyage, he is telling everyone a story around the stove:

"I don’t want to and can’t be too greedy, trying to control things that are beyond my scope. If history has two results, then I should be dying for the loss of Longxiao City and crying bitterly, or should I do Longxiao City survived without me, cheering for joy?"

Thyls was stunned.

"The only thing I can do is to save myself."

"That's it."

He said quietly: "This is enough."

"And I am here, in the desert, on the sea, I do my best to maintain the operation of a small team, the livelihood of a small shop, and the survival of a small team. Helping these can be counted with one hand. 'S little guy..."

Quickline looked through the window to the same mottled walls and bleak alleys outside: "In fact, I don’t think what I’ve done here or the value I can find here. It’s more insignificant or humble than in the secret room of Longxiao City, moving the bargaining chips like a mountainous elder, talking and laughing with the princes, and what historical mission, national economy and people’s livelihood are often involved."

"I just...choose a life that belongs to me alone."

Thyls listened quietly, with surprise in his eyes.

Finally, the star prince looked away and let out a breath.

He seems to have just fought a big battle, and he is quite tired.

"Sorry, fast rope," Thales leaned against the wall, relaxed, and smiled slightly: "Just now, I said something untimely and self-righteous, accusing you, you know, that I suddenly came across that hurt you When he was the culprit in a foreign country for six years..."

Thyls spread his hands.

Quickline raised his eyes, with a smile in his eyes: "I understand."

"So you calmed down? The interrogation is over?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the once strange hostility slowly dissipated.

"Yes."

"I understand, that is your choice," Thales said softly, letting go of his grudge: "And I have no right to be beaked."

"I respect your choice."

Quickline took a deep breath.

He spoke softly, two short words, but there was some emotion in the words that could not help: "Thank you."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't totally agree with you," Thales twisted his waist, soothing his bleeding back: "Especially about the operation of history, or your opinion on responsibility."

Quickline blinked: "But you said, you respect my choice."

"This is far more valuable than total approval."

Quickline quietly watched Thales' silhouette in the dark night.

He smiled.

"Thank you."

Thyls raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I accept." He snorted softly.

But the fast rope shook his head.

"No."

"This thank you, is for Alex."

At that moment, Thales froze.

I saw Fast Rope looking at Thales seriously: "In your story of Longxiao City, you told so many secret things, duels, disasters, rumba, coronation, as if you had witnessed it with your own eyes, but Only did not mention yourself."

"Either you are pure bragging, just like a hearsay street vendor."

He squinted his eyes: "Either, you were in it at the time, Thales Star."

"So, thank you for helping her on that night that sounds so terrible, now the Grand Duke of Longxiao City."

Tyles exhaled heavily.

"You just said," Thales frowned, "Your political grades are poor?"

Quick Rope shrugged and smiled again: "Of course it's not as good as a mass murder of the Quartet at a meeting in the country..."

"No." Thales shook his head, and asked and answered before he could speak.

"I'm thinking, fast rope, you might be smart."

"Cleverer than most nobles who look old and wise."

Thyls exclaimed:

"It's just that your teacher didn't find out."

Quickline's smile faltered slightly.

He sneered and continued the topic.

"I know what character that girl is."

Quickrope said lightly: "Although Alex is very annoying, in addition to her mother’s appearance, she also inherited her father’s self-esteem and arrogance, but she is not a bad girl. Indulge a bit."

Thyls' heart seemed to be tightened suddenly.

Alex.

Listening to the fast rope talking about the girl in memory, his heart is empty.

What appeared in her eyes was the painful convulsion before her death.

No.

Thyls thought dullly as if his soul was out of his body.

No, Moral.

He doesn't know yet.

He doesn't know...

"I am very pleased to have you taking care of her."

Quick rope hummed: "So, thank you, Thales."

"Thank you for doing so much for her, whether I know or I don't know."

But.

But she...but in his impression, the girl he was talking about is already...

Tyles clenched his teeth.

"Be careful, Thales," he squinted at him, and said, "Although I just said, no matter if someone is concerned or is concerned..."

"But the love between you may be more bumpy than me and Dana."

At this moment, Thales was frozen in place.

Love?

"Quick rope, you misunderstood..." Thales sighed.

But the fast rope interrupted him.

"Don't think this is far away from you, Thales, in this era, blood and family background is a curse."

The fast rope propped on his knees, pointed at Thales, with a serious expression: "As you are, one day, someone will come to you with relatives, friends, prestige, people you trust In front of, righteously tells you: for a higher benefit, for some more people, for a greater goal..."

"You must surrender yourself, including your love, your life, your freedom, surrender to them, and become their captive~ IndoMTL.com~ join their game."

Thyls was stunned.

"Your choice will determine what kind of person you are."

The fast rope stared at Thales closely, making him quite disturbed.

"But no matter how you choose, no matter what you have to sacrifice or what you want to leave behind," Fastrope did not move. "You have to make sure that this is your own choice, Thales."

"Don't let others decide for you."

The former prince of Exter's eyes tightened: "Never."

Thyls looked at him blankly.

He has mixed feelings at the moment, and his entire brain is at the same time filled with pity for Alex, guilt for deceiving Moral, worries about the future of Xiaoshuo, the chains of power, and the misunderstandings. .

Extremely complicated.

Spoken.

"As for my side, don't worry," Quickrope raised his eyebrows and smiled sincerely and simply: "After solving Dean, I will go far, neither going back to Longxiao City nor showing up. "

"I won't block my niece, and of course, I won't block you."

"This is my promise, the promise of Northlanders."

The light is too dark, he didn’t notice Thales’ uncomfortable face, and said seriously: "If you really love her, Thales, you and Alex..."

"Then you will have my blessing, although you cannot publicize Moral Walton's blessing."

"The separation is only temporary. I hope you will see you again soon and be married in the end."

I... I and Alex...

See you soon?

Where can I see you again?

In the prison river?

Thyls stared at him blankly, not knowing whether to pierce or refuse.

Finally, he sighed and said nothing.

Faced with the hopeful fast rope, Prince Star made an ugly and embarrassing smile.

"Thanks...thank you."
