Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 201: At risk

Chapter 697 is at stake

"This morning, the body of Police Officer Kaguire was found in an alley next to the Canal District Police Hall. His head and body fell on..."

In the Kongming Palace, the herald Toledo led the Xinghu guards on full alert and rushed forward, while reporting to Thales with a gloomy face:

"Well, in short, the scene is not very good."

When receiving the bad news, Thales was preparing for the general election.

According to the itinerary, the security officer Kaguilei will guide the prince to the venue, but Thales didn't wait for Kaguilei, but waited for the Star Lake Guard's brigade:

Led by the "ghost" Hugo Forbe and the Herald of Toledo, Conmuto, Niexi, D.D, Glover, Miranda, Wyer, Paul, Rolf... all Ten people (many of them were even wounded) were fully armed and murderous, and rushed into his lounge in a black mass, occupying every corner without any explanation, guarding every passage and locking every window, turning the bewildered The second prince was surrounded airtightly.

This scene surprised Morgan, Kusta and others who were following the prince in shifts. They almost thought that His Royal Highness, who had been sulking all morning with a cold face, could not hold back the anger of Canxing, and decided to fight back violently, vowing to break through the sky. The palace, the blood splattered in the duke's mansion, restored the origin of the iris, and restored the emerald city to a bright future.

"These days, Kaguire is always around us regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He communicates with the guards and communicates with the guards. Everyone is tired of dealing with him every day, and he can't get rid of him even if he wants to." Thales looked ugly, but he kept walking. Even faster and faster, "As a result, he disappeared for a whole night plus a morning, so many of us were happy to be free, and no one found anything wrong?"

The entire team of guarding the prince hurried forward, and none of them dared to breathe out. All they could hear was the rubbing of armor and the rumble of footsteps.

Like clockwork puppets crafted by dwarves.

In an instant, Thales even had an illusion: he was not in the Kongming Palace.

It is the Fuxing Palace thousands of miles away.

Toledo took a deep breath, caught up with two steps, and pressed his lips tightly:

"Your Highness, this is indeed our negligence, and I am duty-bound to accept the punishment..."

Damn, why is he like this?

I obviously didn't threaten, intimidate, order, or even make a bad voice...

Thales is very bored:

"Okay, I'm not blaming you..."

I just asked a question and wanted an answer.

That's all.

But why is he so afraid of this, wishing to admit all his mistakes and commit suicide?

Thales let out a breath, feeling depressed.

I wish Mallos was here.

No, no—he immediately shook his head in denial—if Mallos were here, he would probably respond to him with the most polite but also the most acrimonious rhetoric, choking him speechless, more depressed than now .

But he is not there.

Thinking of this, Taylor's heart tightened.

The self-righteous terrorist blade was accidentally caught in the action of besieging Lausanne II. As a result, his subordinates returned safely, but he himself was seriously injured and lay in bed.

He is not there.

His most damned captain of the personal guard, said that "honor revenge" cannot be interfered with, and asked the prince to go first, and the result...

"Mallos is still awake?"

"The fever has subsided, Your Highness," Itariano's logistics officer replied respectfully and meticulously, "but it may be the sequelae of the killer's ability. People are a little slower..."

"He'll be fine," Hugo the bannerman interrupted him, there is no doubt, "it's just a matter of time."

Time.

Thales frowned.

The election will be imminent, and they are most short of time now.

"So, what's the current situation in Emerald City?" He forced himself to calm down.

Toledo took a deep breath: "The security officer was killed on his own land. It is conceivable that the whole city was fried. The security offices in several large areas were fully mobilized to search for clues. The ground entered the city, which caused panic and rumors."

"When the wine merchant and the wool merchant died, I didn't see them so enthusiastic." Glover on the other side snorted coldly.

"It's our own people who died, of course it's different." Kongmuto replied with experience.

"Hmph, human life has value." Paul sarcastically said.

"Six," Huai Ya, who was closely following Thales, had a serious expression, "I have my sixth life."

Damn it.

Wyer's words made Thales very irritated.

And this time - Thales couldn't help but glanced at the top of his head - maybe even someone couldn't suppress the news.

So, what will he do?

A group of servants were cleaning up the hallway. Seeing the prince and his party passing by, some of them whispered something. The servants suddenly showed fear, dropped their work and scattered away.

The scene in front of him made Thales frown.

"Then why did His Highness get involved? He also said that His Highness is the murderer?" D.D couldn't help but speak out as he looked at the retreating servants.

Konmuto, who was behind him, took a good look and coughed: "According to what I heard from my friends, Kaguire informed his family yesterday evening that he would not go home at night, but would stay in the police station and work overtime to deal with urgent matters..."

"Urgent?"

Wyah couldn't help but ask:

"What's the overtime? What's the urgent matter? Can someone check it out..."

He figured out something halfway through his words, and his voice immediately dropped.

"We," Hugo, the flag bearer who was walking in front, took the words with a sullen face, "his urgent task is us, to be precise, yesterday afternoon, after the nobles disappeared in the theater, the chaos, including our guards, did everything possible delays and cover-ups, and subsequent searches, and perhaps follow-up closures.”

The people around fell silent immediately.

"You mean, I," the prince said blankly, "yesterday, Miss Kevin Dill and I ran away?"

Including the flag officer, no one answered.

Obviously no need to answer either.

Thales exhaled unhappily.

"Anyway, the Police Department didn't wait for him, thinking that Kaguire went home for the night by himself," Toledo said cautiously, "until the next day..."

"So, he was killed while working overtime to deal with the prince's affairs, so we got involved." Miranda thought thoughtfully.

"That's true. The news first came from the security officer who knew the inside story, and as it sank into the public, the more it spread, the more absurd it became." Kong Mutuo hesitated a little. , Kaguire finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to report it to the Duke, so the prince became furious and wanted to kill him..."

"What?" Wyatt couldn't believe it.

Thales also frowned.

Weifu is right to visit, but...

He just pushed and argued with the gangsters, and at most set off a few bunches of big fireworks on the North Gate Bridge. Is this considered "domineering and reckless"?

"Of course, these are all rumors among the people, but there are better versions." Kong Mutuo hurriedly smoothed things over, "For example, someone who wanted to assassinate the prince actually missed it and bumped into the person in charge of protecting the prince. His Kaguire, who was strong and unyielding, died heroically."

Thales frowned and looked at the Xinghu guards around him. They were lined up in an orderly manner and heavily guarded. It seemed that an assassin would come out of a certain vase at any moment.

Is this version better?

"There is also news that the prince was dissatisfied with the Duke of Zhan En, so he easily killed the bodyguard and tour guide that the Duke gave him, and killed chickens and monkeys to show his majesty."

Thales' expression became even worse, and Kongmuto's smile froze when he stared.

"Where did the rumors come from? Are they so rigid and well-founded?" D.D was taken aback when he heard it.

"The case has only been reported recently, and there are rumors of this level. It's hard to say that no one is behind the scenes," Miranda doubted, "but as far as I know, the best at this job in the city should be the blood bottle Help? But they have..."

She glanced at Glover and Rolf.

"Some people don't like us and don't want us to stay in Emerald City." Glover snorted coldly.

"But why," Huai Ya wondered, "Who did it? Why did you frame His Highness?"

Thales' nerves tightened.

He probably knows who did it.

But...

"It's not important," Thales said with a final word, ending the discussion, "At least this time, they didn't say that I killed a certain king or duke—hope not."

Everyone is stunned.

Surrounded by the guards, the second prince walked down to the next level. Their formation was formidable and imposing, which made the spectators shy away and those who saw them fled.

The Duke of Xinghu didn't speak any more, and the entire guard was silent again, only the disturbing sound of rushing.

Here we go again, that feeling.

Feeling the oppression of the people around him, Thales glanced back at the towers and pillars of Kongming Palace.

The suffocating feeling of being in the Fuxing Palace, as if locked firmly by endless chains, bewildered and unable to breathe.

And he could only release the suffocation by clenching the bone ring Guertaksa with his nerve pocket.

At this moment, he vaguely heard something behind him, but he couldn't hear it clearly, until Thales frowned and entered the sense of hell.

"I'll just say..."

In the team behind, D.D's breath sounded like a mosquito: "There is something wrong with the little brat."

Thales' eyelids twitched.

What brat? Which brat?

"Keep your voice down," Huai Ya responded in a low voice, cautiously, "He died again, His Highness must be in a bad mood."

"He doesn't know. Whenever he keeps a cold face and keeps silent, the atmosphere is terrible. You see, everyone is so scared that they don't even dare to breathe..."

Hearing this, Thales frowned.

What?

"It's not just about Kaguire," Glover's voice cut in, "That defender went crazy in front of His Highness, and he feels uncomfortable."

They were silent for a while.

"But that's not his fault," D.D whispered in the queue, "I mean, it's not like the kid sent someone to scare him crazy..."

Find someone to scare him crazy...

Thales' breathing was stagnant.

"There is also a terrifying blade."

Miranda joins their inner circle of secret conversations from the other side:

"Mallos was carried back last night with a persistent high fever. His Highness was also silent the whole time, with an expressionless face, but everyone was too scared to speak..."

"I'll just say..."

"You guys really keep your voice down, the dumb said that His Highness has very good ears..." Huai Ya persuaded with a bitter face.

"Don't worry, such a long distance..."

Thales let out a long sigh.

Emerald City, Zhan En, Fuxing Palace, the king, the masked killer in black, the blood bottle gang, the six murders... He is deeply involved in a complicated and confusing situation. , he had a frustrating setback, he had enough to keep busy.

As for D.D, why is he so happy, and can still arrange gossip about his master?

Is it because he knows that he is usually too good to tear up his little puppet bear?

"Your Highness saw the appearance of Mallos yesterday, and his expression was very scary," Miranda said in a low voice, "No one was able to persuade him, and no one dared to persuade him. In the end, it was Fubi's bannerman who was in his ear. After saying a few words, he was willing to go to rest."

"No wonder he was in a bad mood. He went to find his fiancée early in the morning to quarrel with his future brother-in-law. Of course, his mood would be even worse after the quarrel." D.D suddenly realized.

"More than that," Wyatt stared at Thales's back and said in a daze, "Your Highness slept on...the ground again yesterday."

Thales' eyes changed.

"Who is he sleeping on?"

"Oh," Huai Ya reacted, and quickly changed his words, "I mean, Your Highness didn't sleep well yesterday."

"Tch, I was scared to death. I thought the little brat was finally enlightened and sensible. By the way, has the relationship between him and Miss Hilley changed? When they came back yesterday..."

Hearing this, Thales finally couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and reprimanded:

"Are you finished?"

The voice of the Duke of Xinghu echoed in the empty palace corridor, stirring up echoes.

Everyone was taken aback, and the Xinghu Guard couldn't help but stop.

Thales was short of breath and stared at the queue in front of him.

Good.

D.D stopped talking too much, he looked straight ahead with a serious face, and Wyatt no longer lost his mind, but waited for orders with a serious expression.

From the old subordinates Wyatt and Rolf, to D.D and Glover in the Star Lake Guard, to the newly promoted Miranda and Paul... no more whispering, no more gossip, no more There are small acts of self righteousness.

While his gaze was everywhere, the guards all lowered their heads, and none dared to look directly at him.

The next second, Toledo trembled and stepped forward cautiously.

"Your Highness, what are your orders? Tell me, what are you talking about?"

Wait, is he... scared?

[When the Grand Duke stands in front of you majesticly, do you know how you feel... Ha, he blinks your eyelids, your heart will be scared to death, he grinned, your legs hurt Trembling... Hey, who's to say, who's to say it's not **** sincere? 】

Thales looked at the other person's appearance, and then looked at the expressions of other people, and suddenly felt dull.

Of course, the Herald of Toledo was afraid—the inner voice said to him.

Don't forget, your words and deeds will have an unpredictable impact.

The upper ones face it coldly, while the lower ones walk on eggshells.

This is the wall of power.

Thales was silent and did not speak.

This made the Star Lake guards even more nervous.

Seeing that Thales didn't say a word, Toledo understood something, he took a deep breath:

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness, Chief Mallos is not here, I'm not strict..."

"Who was whispering just now?"

Hugo the flag officer interrupted him directly, and turned to the team with a playful expression:

"Although I can't really hear it, but stand up for yourself? Don't suffer less?"

At that second, everyone in the Xinghu guard changed color.

D.D's eyes flickered in the front row, showing a little panic, while Wyatt looked surprised.

Miranda frowned, but Glover still had a stiff expression.

But Thales didn't speak.

He just watched them silently, paying attention to each one's demeanor.

But maybe, maybe being afraid is a good thing?

This will force them to wind up.

Maybe I was too weak before, maybe Mallos was too presumptuous, maybe this is the normal way of getting along between them.

Because you know, one day, they will face a more cruel test - the voice in my heart added.

Is that so?

Tier looked at them silently, and suddenly had an illusion:

This is not the Kongming Palace, but the Ballard Room. Everyone is trembling, paying attention to the man sitting on the main seat in the dark shadows.

Thales looked into the distance, only feeling that the feeling of suffocation became more and more real.

Second only to the bone ring in your pocket.

After a few seconds, he let out a long sigh.

"Wyah."

Huai Ya's expression changed, but he finally stood up in the sympathetic eyes of others:

"My fault, Your Highness, I just talked too much—"

"Do you still carry my sword?" Thales interrupted him directly.

Huai Ya was stunned for a second before he could react. He hurriedly took off the sword belt behind his back, and respectfully presented a sword to Thales.

Thales took the Warner without saying a word, and drew out a blade.

The cold light of the precious ancient imperial sword is still there, making the black gem on the hilt more mysterious and solemn.

It's just that the "F" under the hilt is still glaring and out of place.

"Everyone, I don't want to lie to you, and I don't want to cover up my concerns," Thales pushed the blade back into the scabbard, but did not return it to Huai Ya, "From now on, the Emerald City's The situation is precarious."

"Is it in danger?" Huai Ya's eyes widened.

Thales nodded, he tested the weight of the sword, and estimated what style of armed strap should be matched with it if he usually wears it.

"At this critical moment, I need you to be prepared, especially when Captain Mallos is away," he said in a deep voice, "Everything is prepared."

The guards made a small commotion, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Toledo couldn't help but said: "But Your Highness, didn't we just solve... that killer yesterday?"

"Because of this," Thales' expression remained unchanged, "we have exacerbated the situation and worsened the situation."

Pressed everyone to the corner, to the end.

"What will we face?" Whispering, the flag officer Hugo said coldly.

Thales took a look at this "ghost" flag officer who didn't get along very often.

But there is a reason Mallos chose him and Toledo as his deputy, right?

"Facing what? Kidnapping? Imprisonment? Assassination? To be honest, I don't know either."

Every time Thales said a word, Toledo's face turned ugly: "Including possible riots, mutinies, civil unrest, and even a palace coup?"

His last sentence surprised everyone.

"Well, it's worse than when you broke into the palace?" Nexi, whose right hand was still wrapped in a bandage, asked cautiously.

Thales glanced at the young vanguard officer, who immediately lowered his head.

"What if?"

At that moment, everyone in the guards looked ugly.

Thales looked around everyone: Wyatt was worried, Rolf showed disdain, D.D blinked desperately, Glover's expression remained unchanged, Miranda's eyes were cold, and Paul bowed his head in silence...

As for Mallos who is still on the sickbed...

If it really comes to that point, how many people here will follow him through thick and thin?

Are they really, ready?

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

A few seconds later, Thales burst out laughing.

"Just kidding!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Thales' next sentence made their smiles freeze:

"No matter how you say it, breaking into Kongming Palace won't be more difficult than breaking into Fuxing Palace?"

At this moment, Morgan, who was looking ahead, suddenly shouted a warning:

"Guards alert! We have companions!"

In the next second, all the guards changed their faces, and everyone instinctively stood up to protect Thales firmly.

Just...

"What's the matter? What happened? Are we still in Kongming Palace?" Thales, who was stopped by Kusta, asked anxiously.

Could it be that what he said is worse than breaking into the palace?

"The scouts and scouts on the Vanguard Wing have strict regulations, Your Highness," Hugo said coldly, staring at the corner leading to the Ancestor Rock ahead, "They will not sound a warning just because a cockroach pops out on the road .”

The voice fell, and there was a lot of tremors on the ground.

Everyone is nervous: this is...

The next second, behind the famous Ancestor Rock of Kongming Palace, one row, two rows, three rows... a whole group of murderous soldiers appeared in sight, and they came to Thales and his party in unison, with rumbling footsteps , covered with armor.

"Unless it's a swarm of cockroaches." Miranda said with a bad expression.

"It's not the palace guards, **** it, it's those green hats! The Emerald Legion!"

D.D stared at the opponent's armor, dumbfounded: "This battle...wasn't the police officer here to pick us up before?"

Emerald Legion?

Thales clenched the Vigilant in his hand with a deep expression.

The soldiers of the Emerald Legion were getting closer and closer, and the Star Lake guards unconsciously gathered their formation, and everyone put their hands on their weapons.

Finally, the Emerald Legion stopped a foot away from them, and a familiar figure emerged from them.

"Where is Your Highness Thales?"

Thales exhaled, he patted the nervous people around him, and took a few steps forward:

"Captain Seychelles, long time no see, I don't know what to do?"

The leader of the Emerald Legion, the Seychelles Knight, turned a blind eye to the formation of the Star Lake Guards. He took a step forward, and his eyes seemed to have substance, so that everyone in the guards subconsciously grasped their weapons.

Toledo and Hugo were at the forefront, but under the pressure of the knights in front of them, one of them was sweating profusely, and the other looked solemn.

But Seychelles just glanced at them, didn't care, and looked back at Thales:

"For well-known reasons, Your Highness, from now until the end of the Emerald Celebration, I will be fully responsible for your security and travel matters, and the Emerald Legion will accompany you all the way..."

Seychelles deliberately paused, looking back and forth at the line of the Xinghu Guards full of wounded soldiers, speaking with contempt:

"Personal attendant."

When the Xinghu guards heard the words, their faces changed, and many of them were unhappy.

"Oops," Doyle in the queue faced a jade sergeant with malicious intentions from afar, and he didn't forget to turn around and say, "Did you say that this guy is an extreme..."

"Shut up, D.D!" Wyatt gritted his teeth, but couldn't stop the trembling of his arms.

"The Emerald Legion is in charge of my security?"

Thales spoke before everyone's emotions erupted. He looked at this former mercenary army, thoughtfully:

"Is this what Jann meant?"

Seychelles snorted softly.

"The duke has something to say, the selection of generals is one of the essences of the celebration. It aims to be a warrior, and of course there must be a different style."

The knights of the Legion narrowed their eyes:

"And I believe that he will warmly welcome you at the venue."

Thales frowned and couldn't stop thinking.

Oops.

What does Jane mean?

"I appreciate Jann's kindness, but I'd better..."

But obviously Seychelles has learned the lesson from last time. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to act, not intending to give Thales any chance:

"Everyone, protect the prince, don't let His Highness lose your style!"

The Emerald Legion may not be as strong as the royal army under Wrath of the Kingdom, but they are still ordering and prohibiting, and they must immediately press down on them, and they are about to invade the formation of the Star Lake Guard!

Just as Thales subconsciously clenched the Warner, he heard Toledo roaring: "Star Lake Guard! Star Array!"

The Xinghu guards shouted angrily in response, forming a formation in twos and ones, their weapons half unsheathed, forcing the Jade Sergeants in the first row to hesitate.

"Don't bother, green hat, you just take care of the perimeter and open the way," Hugo, the flag bearer, faced Seychelles, and said under pressure, with sharp eyes, "The rest of the matter will be handled by the royal guard."

This is the only way from the main palace to the outer court and ancestor rock. Many servants who passed by saw the confrontation between the two armies and the swords were drawn.

Being rejected, Seychelles smiled maliciously.

"Who are you? Where was your boss last time, Mallos?"

The knight showed his sword intentionally or unintentionally:

"My weapon misses him."

"He's on vacation today." Miranda said coldly on the other side, stroking Yingxiang in her hand.

Seychelles didn't care: "I guess, sick leave?"

The next second, he strode forward!

The extreme knight's unscrupulous aura shocked the star lake guards, and they looked at Thales:

What to do?

Do you want to fight?

What if you can't beat it?

At this moment, another voice broke the situation:

"Thales, why are you here?"

Everyone turned their heads together:

At the other end of the corridor, the well-dressed Cecilia Kevin Dill came slowly, accompanied by a group of servants, with burning eyes.

Thales was stunned.

The Xinghu guards beside him looked at each other, and D.D showed a weird smile.

The Seychelles Cavaliers paused, unbelievable:

"Ms. Hilley?"

"I actually met you, Seychelles," Hilley walked up to Thales with an unimaginably graceful gesture, and all the soldiers and guards around him retreated subconsciously, "What a boring day!"

Hile's eyes were dark, but they brightened up the moment he looked at Thales.

But Thales looked at the lady-like Xi Lai, but couldn't help but think of the weird and terrifying shadow behind her, and Slimani who was tormented by it to the point of madness and dementia.

No.

He's not ready yet.

"Ms. Kevin Dill..." Thales subconsciously avoided the other party's sight.

Hile's eyes sharpened.

But before she could speak, the Seychelles knight snorted coldly:

"You shouldn't be here, ma'am, Your Excellency the Duke has ordered—"

But Hillary ignored him, instead she smiled perfectly and stretched out her hand to Thales in a comfortable posture.

"Let's go, my lord," she said in an overly gentle tone, which made Thales extremely uncomfortable, "The general's performance is wonderful, and I don't want you to miss it."

Seychelles was choked and looked unhappy.

Thales was stunned. He looked at the murderous knight and the beautiful and gentle lady, and couldn't tell who was more terrifying for a moment.

Until Hilley smiled:

"You're still obsessed with what happened yesterday, aren't you?"

What happened yesterday?

What's the matter?

As soon as these words came out, Glover, Rolf, Miranda... all had strange expressions without exception.

Only Huai Ya and D.D looked at each other, the former didn't know why, while the latter smiled mysteriously.

Thales' expression changed slightly, he immediately penetrated the confusion of weapons, clothing and other foreign objects, and identified who was the top predator in the Kongming Palace.

"Seychelles Knight, please let your people **** me." His Royal Highness smiled at Xilai, and walked towards Seychelles instead, signaling, "It's time for me to go to the venue."

Submissive and courteous.

"Um, of course, Your Highness, please..." This made Seychelles and his subordinates not quite used to it.

But before he had time to lament that today's task was completed more easily than expected, he saw Xilai next to him raised his eyebrows:

"Oh, Your Highness, your cruelty really makes me sad. Is this revenge on me? Do you think it was my fault that we failed yesterday?"

Nothing?

What?

This time, including the Emerald Legion, the Star Lake Guard, and the servants behind Hilley, everyone looked at Thales in unison.

The second prince's complexion changed again.

"Yesterday it was...an accident." He glanced nervously at the people around him, trying to clear up the misunderstanding, even if the latter were confused (or surprised), "and there were so many people present yesterday , no one should be blamed. Well, I have to go to the appointment..."

I saw Xi Lai sneer:

"Really, Your Highness? We have been together hand in hand, and what we have experienced will never be forgotten, and you are really so unfeeling?"

Unforgettable in a lifetime...

Oops.

Everyone's suspicious eyes gave Thales a headache.

"Um, does your Highness need our help..." Huai Ya hesitated.

"Don't be stupid," D.D grabbed him, with a mysterious tone like someone who has been there, "housework."

But fortunately, at this embarrassing moment, the Seychelles knight next to him spoke:

"Ma'am, I have an order from the Duke to protect the prince and go to the election site. If you keep delaying and hindering me, I will find it difficult to do so."

His tone was decisive, and his posture was unruly.

This made Thales feel that the knight was much more pleasing to the eye.

"Really," Xi Lai's smile continued, "It's hard to do? Why don't you resign?"

Seychelles' expression froze.

The next second, his face was angry:

"Ma'am, if you're being selfish again, I have no choice."

"For example?"

Seychelle's eyes sharpened, and he strode towards Xi Lai!

Thales was startled, and subconsciously stood in front of Xi Lai: "Hey, let's talk..."

Seeing the master's action, both the Xinghu Guard and the Emerald Legion moved subconsciously and squeezed towards the middle, trying to stop the opponent, and the situation became chaotic again for a while!

But at this moment.

"Stop." It was an unfamiliar voice, which spread out in the crowd, but made everyone subconsciously pause.

The next second, a vicissitudes of life and thin figure came out from Xi Lai's servants, clearly unhurried, but miraculously squeezed through everyone, and instantly stood in front of Seychelles, blocking his way.

Everyone was stunned: the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared was a middle-aged man with a sword, his hair was messy, his face was full of stubble, his armor was old, and even the sword around his waist was full of rust.

"You are..."

Seychelles frowned, and looked at the sloppily dressed man who was out of place with the surroundings.

A few seconds later, surprise appeared in his eyes:

"Cassien?"

The scruffy man named Cassian had a sickly face, he smiled slightly, but performed a standard knight salute:

"Seychelles."

Huh? who?

The Xinghu guards were puzzled.

"Who is this? It looks...a bit dirty." D.D narrowed his eyes

"Indeed," Miranda looked solemnly at the new man, "but pay attention: Seychelles' eyes are different, he's serious."

"Strange," Glover gritted his teeth, "I can't feel the murderous intent on him, but..."

"I know who he is," Hugo the flag bearer said with a blank expression on his face, "Be careful, this is an extreme master, the man of Iris. Inferior."

Everyone is stunned.

In contrast, the sergeants of the Emerald Legion broke out in commotion when they heard Cassien's name. Many people looked at each other and whispered.

Seychelles holds down the hilt of the sword, fearful:

"I thought you quit your job, old friend, and no longer serve the Emerald City."

"That's right, Seychelles Knight," Cassian said with a weary look on his face. He looked at Hille and sighed, "But just like you, Iris's hospitality is hard to resist."

Seychelles and Cassian faced each other silently, one side was well-equipped and majestic, the other was sloppy, rough and tired.

But for some reason, Thales vaguely felt that they were evenly matched.

The prince cast a puzzled look at Xi Lai, but Miss Kevin Dill just snorted softly, ignored the confrontation between the two, and took the prince's arm:

"Let's go."

Thales was taken aback, and under the eyes of countless people who were surprised at first, and then saw nothing strange, he struggled hard:

"Wait!"

Thales took a deep breath and tried not to think about the soul bone Jacques behind Xi Lai who can change into various forms:

"Listen, maybe we shouldn't..."

But Xi Lai's smile didn't move, but he couldn't resist pulling Thales towards him, and then close to the latter's ear:

"If you dare to show my face again, boy, I swear, no matter how many people around are watching, I will definitely beat you out of shit!"

Such a threat made Thales tremble all over.

The prince swallowed his throat, his eyelids twitched, and he had no choice but to turn around and whisper:

"Hey Lai, well, to be honest, the current situation is quite complicated, and our best response is to act independently, lest both of us..."

Hilei's eyes sharpen!

"Thals Bright Star!"

The next second, Miss Kevin Dill pushed Thales away violently!

She raised her volume, first she spoke harshly, and then she broke her heart:

"Unfeeling like you, have you really forgotten what I did for you yesterday!"

Maybe the atmosphere is too embarrassing, maybe the acting skills are really superb, or maybe the topic is too hot, for a while, no matter the Star Lake Guard or the Jade Legion, whether Cassian or Seychelles, under the ancestral rock of Kongming Palace , everyone's attention was attracted, and they all looked at the most noble two in the field.

Thales was surprised: "I—"

"Do you remember? Do you want to renege on this?"

Xilei Lihua was tearful and distressing: "For you, I even drank that medicine for you!"

Huh?

Including the servants and messengers who stretched their necks to watch from a distance, everyone looked at Xi Lai in surprise and curiosity:

What medicine?

Hee Lai lived up to expectations, and her crying reached a climax:

"Yes, the pill!"

At that second, Thales instantly petrified.

The entire Kongming Palace was quiet.

Ah!

A few seconds later, everyone looked at Thales in horror and disgust:

That medicine!

"I..."

Thales endured the horrifying eyes of the people around him, including his own, and felt incapable of answering:

"No! That's not a birth control pill! It's just for recovery...and we all drank it..."

"That's right!" Hillary interrupted him.

The girl with tears in her eyes lowered her head and wiped her face, and forcibly wiped two water marks on her well-made face, which shocked the maid behind her:

"But I don't mind!"

Thales couldn't believe it, he looked at the vicious woman in front of him angrily and pitifully:

"No, don't talk anymore, okay? Let's come down and communicate..."

But Hille didn't care: "I don't mind! I don't even mind that you have to drink that drug to make things happen!"

Huh?

Everyone looked at Thales suspiciously and thoughtfully:

What medicine?

I saw Xi Lai sniffing, trembling:

"Yes, do you still remember the bottle of aphrodisiac that restores physical strength?"

It was quiet again.

Ah!

A few seconds later, everyone suddenly realized and looked at Thales gloatingly:

That medicine!

Thales was numb on the spot, and he stood beside Xi Lai in a daze, his feet stuck in his shoes unconsciously, barely supporting his empty figure.

"You...no...I...she...no...don't..."

Only the lips twitch.

The autumn wind blows, and the Kongming Palace is completely empty at this time.

"So, from this point of view," Xi Lai stopped crying, her eyes full of hope, "can't you accommodate me a bit?"

Several seconds passed, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the thrilling confrontation between the two, Seychelles also recovered from the inexplicable horror and subconsciously said:

"Ma'am, Your Highness, but..."

Miss Kevin Dill raised her eyebrows and put one hand on her hip:

"Why, you are also curious and want to know what happened to him yesterday?"

Seychelles surprised:

"When, of course not, just..."

The Seychelles knight, who is highly skilled in martial arts, was very embarrassed. He had already retreated steadily, and he had no power to parry, let alone fight back.

But Xi Lai's offensive continued, she pulled Thales with a numb face, and continued to chase and kill everyone until the whole battlefield was bloody:

"Okay, let me describe the details to you: Yesterday we two sneaked out, when we were sweating profusely in a small room...ah! He suddenly died! Then I, I had to give him medicine, and he was up again, but, ah, then, then I couldn't do it! Then we had to..."

"Miss Hilley!"

Cassien suddenly shouted and interrupted Hille.

Also saved the precarious battlefield.

With their eyes closed, the Seychelles knight, who wished to be deaf on the spot, and all the other people present breathed a sigh of relief and retreated hastily from the battlefield.

"Please, please, Your Royal Highness, let's go now."

The Seychelles captain glanced at his old friend in pain, and waved his hand weakly: "Jade Legion, let's take care of the periphery, let it go, let it go..."

As for Thales, well, the wise and powerful Polaris has already died heroically, and his name is engraved on the spectrum of martyrs.

Leaving only a numb corpse, won the epic victory, captured countless Xi Lai as spoils of war, and dragged arrogantly away from this **** battlefield full of corpses.

The Xinghu guards, who had also been stunned for a long time, finally woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed the walking corpse of the prince.

In this way, the original tense situation disappeared, and everyone dragged their feet and left the scene, either dull or unfinished.

Among the figures, only Seychelles and Cassian remained motionless.

Looking at the direction in which Xi Lai was leaving, Cassian sneered slightly, as if mocking himself: "It seems that it is more difficult to deal with than before."

But Seychelles looked down.

"Why bother," Seychelles said to his old friend in a deep voice, "since the long sword has been put down, why bother to return to the battlefield?"

Cassien fell silent.

"Why bother," the sloppy middle-aged swordsman responded with a smile. He looked at the opponent's saber.

The two were silent for a while.

A few seconds later, Cassian nodded to Seychelles and left without hesitation: "Old friend."

Looking at Cassian's back, Seychelles nodded softly:

"Sir."

Out of the Kongming Palace, Thales came back from his trance and swallowed hard when everyone was stupefied and shocked.

He looked at Xi Lai, who was smiling gently beside him, and felt that there was nothing in front of him.

The prince turned his head dumbly, forced a smile, and faced the subordinates of the guard:

"Well, big guy, what she said just now is actually..."

No one answered.

Thales' eyelids twitched, and his smile was complicated: "In short, you all understand me..."

"I didn't hear anything!"

During the silence, D.D suddenly shouted loudly, which startled everyone!

Thales was taken aback.

Huh?

I saw D.D scanning his colleagues with a majestic face, his eyes were sharp and terrifying.

Starting from Toledo, the Guardians of the Star Lake only hesitated for a moment, and immediately responded one after another:

"Ah, yes!"

"That's right!"

"Didn't hear you!"

"Didn't you hear what?"

"Didn't hear anything?"

"What didn't you hear?"

"I'm deaf!"

"I'm deaf and blind!"

"What did you say?"

"What just happened?"

"I just went to the bathroom!"

"I have diarrhea! It's been a quarter of an hour!"

At that moment, Guard Doyle discovered that he had acquired a majesty in the Star Lake Guard that even the watchman Mallos had never had, and he might never have again in the future.

Look everywhere, don't dare not follow.

Finally, D.D nodded in satisfaction after looking around, then turned to Thales and blinked obsequiously.

How?

The expression of Thales has already changed from panic and panic at the beginning to insensitivity.

Only Xi Lai, who was beside him, was smiling like a flower, without any loss.

"Really, what a bold girl..."

With lingering fears in his heart, Huai Ya looked at the expressionless and limping Prince His Royal Highness who was limping forward with horror on his face:

"Who can resist this offensive."

Miranda recovered from the shock just now, and smiled softly:

"Sometimes, I envy her, she is so free and unrestrained."

"Don't tell me," D.D turned his head and said, "You're not bad, Sword of Neverwinter? I've heard from Cohen that you have a lot of love history, and you have a pretty face in the capital... Ugh! "

Miranda retracted her elbow lightly, and it seemed that she had practiced the movement a long time ago and was extremely proficient.

"However, the attitude of the public is such that it arouses people's daydream and discussion, and everyone's mouth is worth money," Paul Bozdorf followed up from behind ~IndoMTL.com~ He stared ahead with complicated eyes, "for the sake of reputation, she I'm afraid I can only marry His Royal Highness Thales in the future."

Of course, this may be the trick of Iris, using public opinion to force the royal family to marry Kevin Dill's blood, and then use the power of in-laws to operate behind the scenes to obtain...

Crack!

Paul frowned. He looked down at his feet: it was a pie bag that had just been emptied.

"If you really think so, little silly lion..."

Paul looked at the owner of the bag with uneasy eyes:

Small what?

I saw D.D chewing the almond pie in his mouth, looking at the backs of Thales and Xilai with a smile, showing some unusual complex emotions:

"Then you will underestimate her."

Doyle left after saying that, leaving behind a surprised and puzzled Paul and a thoughtful Miranda.
