Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 210: In the name of the king

Federico — or as the family used to call it, Feder — was laughing.

Even if he was kneeling on the ground in front of the stands in a humiliation and embarrassment, his hands were bound, his forehead was touching the ground, and all his organs were moaning.

Half of his face was numb, his left eye was punched in the arrest just now, it was so swollen that it was hard to see, his chin was dragged out of a big hole, even bleeding, and he was kicked in the ribs. , the pain was dull, and the left wrist that was tied back was severely sprained, and the pain was piercing.

This is just the upper body.

But Fader is still laughing.

He smiled extremely happy, extremely relieved, extremely sincere, and even carried a little bit of madness, no matter how sternly the security officer in charge of escorting beside him reprimanded him for restraining.

Once, he was curled up in a narrow, cold dark room, propping himself up with hatred and shame, shivering with endless screams and moans in his ears, and keeping his body warm with pain and anger.

Reflecting the countless days and nights spent in that cramped room, Fader involuntarily tightened his body and slowed his breathing.

His mouth was filled with the smell of dirt and blood, blood and drool oozing from his lips, and he was too weak to wipe it.

Now, this little wound and pain, this little humiliation and embarrassment, is like a reward of fate compared to what I have experienced before.

They are reminders of where they are.

A sign of impending revenge and pleasure.

It also predicts that he is willing to give everything in return.

The curvature of Fader's mouth widened.

The lights around him are as bright as day, and the shadows beneath him are as black as ink.

The swordsman, the **** who claimed to have killed the Royal Guard, just left? No empathy at all?

Anyway.

Anyway, it's almost done.

Fader raised his head with difficulty but joy, familiar and unfamiliar, chaotic and orderly choices will appear in front of him:

The vigilantes who escorted him were panic-stricken and at a loss. The crowds of spectators farther away were roaring. >

"It's alright here! They just need to talk, you all stand back, stay away, don't come! Let the others stay away too!"

Xilei shouted, preventing the surrounding guards and servants from approaching, signaling them to retreat.

Miss Kevin Dill has a special status and has a strong relationship with their respective masters. Both the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion have scruples. They have to slowly back away, screen the crowd, and separate Thales and Jenn. Not a small open space, and at the same time staring at each other.

Soon, everyone in the audience, whether locals or outsiders, whether vassals, distinguished guests or ordinary guards, whether anxious or calm, angry or happy, are all waiting for the two highest-ranking people in the Emerald City at this moment. People, or rather, are the result of their negotiations.

"Tentative?"

Jane couldn't care about the eyes of the people around him, he stared at Thales and lowered his voice:

"You mean that your father has done so many things and set up so many games, not to deal with me and the Emerald City, but to test your position at this moment..."

“It should be both,” Thales came back to his senses, and the emptiness after the guilt of the Hell River faded made him dizzy, “two birds with one stone is his preference, so whether he wins or loses, he can at least have the same Harvest."

Jann frowned.

"Listen, I know Federico is a big threat to you," Thales turned to look at Federico, who was kneeling in the formation of the vigilantes with a weird smile, "but I can't stand idly by. , I need him to live, or my father will know..."

"Then let him know!"

Jane suddenly raised the volume, he took two steps back impatiently, took a deep breath, and then turned his head again:

"Let him know that Fader was too stupid and blind to fail, and that you were too weak to fix it, not us..."

"If I wasn't here when the incident happened, he might still understand..." Thales sighed.

A lie.

His inner voice sarcastically said less pleasantly:

You clearly know that, Thales.

With King Kessel's skepticism and alertness, he would never have been so considerate.

As long as Federico fails, as long as you don't "judge" at the critical moment, he will doubt your position.

Tales tries to get rid of distractions:

"But right now, I'm standing here, in full view, and Federico is there, waiting or expecting my intervention..."

Jann snorted softly.

“I should have asked Seychelles to drive you to the furthest stand today, and even shut you in the palace so that you won’t come out...” he sarcastically, “I shouldn’t even let you approach at all. Hope."

Tales let out a long sigh.

"Guys, I'm stabilizing them, but it won't be too long," Xilai turned around in an anxious voice, "Tell me, you guys have a solution to this situation, right?"

Jane's expression was ugly, and he was silent.

"That's right, we have a solution," the prince looked around, trying not to let the outside eyes bother him, his voice so low that only the Kevin Dills and sisters could hear, "Listen to Jen, you asked me What price do you need to help? That's it."

Tales looked at Federico in the distance.

"You're saying you're going to blatantly cover up the rebels," Jann murmured, in a bad tone, "supporting his accusation, framing it, and making me a suspect of patricide and silence—and then I can come' Help me?"

"What?" Xilai couldn't believe it.

"No, those charges will not be taken, I just want to delay the situation," Thales wants to explain, "So Jenn, you can't win yet, Federico can't die yet..."

"We talked," Jenn interrupted him coldly, "in the Emerald City, we will temporarily suspend the truce and not be enemies with each other..."

"I am not against you."

"What is this?"

Jann's tone quickened.

Xilei quickly grabbed his brother, but the Duke's expression made the people on the Emerald City side even more restless.

Tales felt a headache.

"If you win today, Jenn, if you let Federico just disappear - do you think my father will just let it go? Then maybe it's not me, not Federico, who comes to the Emerald City next time, It's not the kingdom's secret department, but the kingdom's fury and his troops!"

Jann stared at him firmly, and after a few seconds, the Duke smiled.

"You're really scared of him, aren't you?"

Tales had a meal.

"So you want me to let go and let his knife go through my heart?"

Jann lowered his voice, trying to maintain basic decency:

"The reason is that if I don't, the king will come with a longer knife next time - do you see the absurdity here?"

Tales hesitated.

"What's more absurd is that even if I win this round, you are still a noble prince. At most, your wallet will be shrunk and your father's love will be less." Zhan said coldly.

No.

Tales took a breath, and the Gultaksa in his pocket became heavier and heavier.

"But if I let go, I lose..."

The Duke of Southbank glanced at the eagerly awaited people around him, his eyes growing grim.

Xilai's face paled.

Tales swallowed his throat.

"You won't lose."

Jann sneered, he looked at Federico:

"You don't know what I'm facing, Your Royal Highness."

Tales frowned slightly.

"Duke Falkenhouse, he faced the same problem, but he chose to believe me," Thales took off the 'warning man' from his waist and said earnestly, "he gave me a sword, Xihuang was finally saved."

Jane's face changed.

Tales took a step forward and looked into the other party's cold and determined eyes sincerely:

"For Emerald City's sake, for your sister's sake, Jenn, please."

Jane's eyes moved.

At that moment, it was as if everything in the arena came to a standstill.

Only Thales and Jenn are left, and in this crucial conversation, the fate of the Emerald City is decided.

"Lieutenant Cherkey, continue to **** the suspect!"

The next second, Jenn's grim order woke Thales from his contemplation.

"Don't let anyone get in the way until he's in jail!

”

Tales' mood sank.

"Jane!" he warned loudly.

The change in attitude of the two nobles made onlookers nervous.

"Hypocritical, false, hesitant, weak," Zhan turned back and sneered again and again, "I'm so sick of you pretending to be selfless and selfless."

Tales trembled inwardly.

Xilei was taken aback:

"Jane, wait, don't rush to decide..."

But the duke didn't care about the prince's warning or his sister's persuasion, and ordered:

"Vigilance Hall, what are you still doing?"

Beside Federico, the vigilantes who were hesitating and dazed all stunned, and they roughly dragged Federico up to his knees:

"Yes - yes!"

The crowd rioted again, and people started talking about what happened in this round of negotiations and conversations, how the duke and prince played around the suspect...

But Thales just stared at Jenn with a resolute expression.

Damn.

He has explained clearly the cause and effect, the stakes, but why...

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed between the electric light and flint.

But a few seconds later, when Thales returned to reality and the present, he looked at the bustling crowd in front of him with difficulty, and looked at the faces of Jen and Xilai...

He knew he had made a choice.

"Duke Jenn!"

Tales said loudly, and his voice was amplified by the crime of Hell River, so that everyone around could hear it clearly:

"The matter described by the suspect Federico Calvindier is of great concern and many doubts. For the sake of fairness and justice, and for the sake of your reputation, I think we should not rush to a conclusion. We might as well set up a special case to send Strict investigation and careful interrogation, until the truth is revealed, how about that?"

The prince's voice fell, and the crowd that had been discussing suddenly fell silent, and the security officers who escorted Federico also slowed down, and the leader glanced here from time to time worriedly.

Jane looked at him slowly, his face ashen.

"What?" Xilai was equally surprised, in disbelief.

But Thales just stared at Jenn, who looked back at him with deep and complicated eyes.

"His Royal Highness Thales," Jenn said, his words clear but slow, "you must be tired and your mind is unclear."

Jann's response made Thales sigh softly.

But soon, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He understands.

The atmosphere is not right, the people from both sides - the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion - sighed in unison, and subconsciously moved closer to the master.

"Star Lake Guard!"

Tales drank resolutely, making Jenn's eyes change.

He understands that this confrontation has nothing to do with commitment, justice, character, or their personal grudges.

Only a matter of stake.

Jann wanted to win, but of course he wouldn't back down.

And Thales, he can't lose, so naturally he can only move forward.

"In the name of the king, quickly take down the suspect Federico Calvindier!"

Faced with Thales' uncompromising reaction, Jen frowned.

Tales looked back at the Star Lake Guards, who were all earth-colored:

"Take it back and watch it - our watch!"

The voice fell, and Wyah, who was still hesitant, was completely stunned until Miranda kicked him hard.

"Yes--yes, Your Highness!"

Wyya tried her best not to look at the eyes of the people around her, and turned to look at her colleagues who were equally astonished:

"So, the vanguard wing, or the guard wing? Anyway, Your Highness has ordered, I need two..."

"One is enough." Before Wyya could finish speaking, Miranda stepped forward decisively and walked towards Federico.

Perhaps the king's reputation is big enough, and the vigilantes next to each other looked at each other and dared not stop, but Miranda hadn't taken a few steps forward-

"Seychelles!"

Jane's order sounded, and another figure moved in response!

Winter!

With a dull thud, Miranda lifted an eagle to fly, unsheathing an unsheathed sword.

"Back off, ma'am, that's the Emerald City's own prisoner."

I saw the Seychelles knight holding his sword flat, coldly standing between Federico and Miranda, his eyes cold.

The two warriors faced each other, making everyone nervous. Whether the Star Lake Guard or the Jade Sergeant, they all looked at their respective masters, secretly gearing up to prepare for the shot.

"Knight of the Seychelles, have you heard the order of His Royal Highness Thales?" Miranda clenched the hilt of her sword tightly in her glove.

Seychelles glanced at Jenn—whose brows were trembling and his face was ashen.

The knight turned his head: "Sorry, I'm behind my ears."

"Then retire earlier?" The female swordsman's expression changed.

"You're not my opponent, it's almost the same as that Mallos." Seychelles said dismissively.

"The Terrorist Blade has other important things to do, so I don't have time to take care of it." Miranda felt the strong pressure from the other party, but she gritted her teeth and showed no weakness.

The Glover and the others behind Miranda looked at each other, trying to step forward to share the pressure, but the sergeants behind Seychelles were also looking at them.

The expressions of the bystanders around were different. Most of the foreigners had a calm expression. Only the local nobles and vassals looked ugly. The Count of Lasia clenched his fists in anger, and the two Miss Karabyan were sticking together. Whisper.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Xilai shouted, and she rushed between Jenn and Thales, pointing one finger at one person with an angry face:

"Get your people back and put away your weapons! We don't have to! At least not now!"

The next second, Miranda and Seychelles, who were on the front line of the confrontation, frowned:

The knights of Cassien appear silently at their sides.

"I'm not sure what to do with you," Cassian sighed, "but I can guarantee, Seychelles, Ms. Allende, that I'll attack whoever does it first."

Miranda and Seychelles frowned and looked at each other.

Seychelles snorted coldly and took a step back. Miranda let out a sigh of relief and stepped back as well.

The two men stepped back a little to make room for the three dukes.

"Get out of the way, Xilai," Zhan reprimanded his sister, but kept his eyes on Thales, "it's not your time to talk..."

"Shut up, brother," Xi Lai turned her head back and stabbed her finger viciously in the direction of Jenn, "this is all a trap you thought you'd made! Trap, huh? More chips, huh? The big picture is settled? Huh , ha, ha!"

Jane's face sank.

Seeing this, Thales sighed: "Xila, this matter really has nothing to do with you..."

Xilei turned around and pointed at Thales' forehead:

"Don't tell me this has nothing to do with me, little brat! If you don't come on a blind date, I'll be fine, mother!"

Tales frowned.

After Xilai's arrogant **** like this, the two sides are looking at me, and I look at you, and the atmosphere is a little bit better.

Xilei tried hard to calm down and whispered to the two of them:

"Well, I know, I know you don't like each other, but I don't force you to like each other..."

"No, Xilai, it's not just about my relationship with him..."

"I think he likes the Emerald City just like his father..."

"Shut up!"

Xilei interrupted them angrily, causing both of them to eat together.

She took a deep breath and tried to persuade the prince first:

"Listen, Thales, I know, my brother will be messed up if he cares about himself. He doesn't want to give up the advantages he already has, and he doesn't want to spit out the meat he eats in his mouth, but..."

Half the words, Xilai sighed slowly:

"But, Thales, you have to understand that if you stand up now to support Federico's accusations: father murder, silence... This is not only to prevent Jenn from winning, you are more to force him die."

Tales had a meal.

"I know, I understand, but please believe me, Xilai, this is only temporary, only in this way can I control the situation, take the initiative, and choose to advance or retreat..."

"I guess that's what you told Anke Bailar as well?" Jenn sneered.

Tales' eyelids jumped.

"Using your rhetoric that is used to hypocritical acting - 'Please believe me', lied to him that you would help him and save him, and this was the most deceiving him to put down his weapon, obediently take him into prison, and then So that you, who are kind-hearted and can’t see the suffering of others, can’t see the pure?”

Tales trembled, and he slowly raised his head.

"Jane!"

Xie turned her head back and forth, her expression instantly fierce:

"I told you to shut up!"

But she was late, and the prince's eyes darkened completely.

"I said, don't mention his name." Thales looked blankly at Jenn who sneered again and again.

"Who?" Jenn deliberately sarcastically said, "Oh, you mean Anke, Anke Bailar? The hapless Xihuang who was sent to the prison of bones by the kind-hearted you and never saw the light of day? "

Xilei felt a splitting headache:

"Ah, I don't know what old grudges you guys have and how they started, but I know it must be stupid, so can you..."

Tales smiled.

"That letter, Jenn."

Tales said with a chuckle:

"The letter you wrote to my father, in a low voice, servile, flattering and begging for peace, was torn by my own hands."

Jane's eyes narrowed.

"At the royal meeting, in front of him, torn to shreds."

Tales sneered:

"That's why I have his permission to be here so you can see for yourself: how I put you..."

"Tales!"

Xie interrupted back and forth, unbelievable.

But she was also late, and Jen looked at Thales with complicated and relieved eyes.

At the end, he showed an ominous smile.

"Very good, very good." Jenn applauded lightly and rubbed his chin towards Seychelles.

Seychelles understood what the Duke of South Bank meant, he glanced sarcastically at Cassien who was pulling the frame, and immediately ordered:

"The Emerald Corps, assist the Police Department, clear obstacles, and **** the prisoners!"

Shhh!

The next second, the emerald sergeants in the front row unsheathed their weapons and pointed at Miranda!

Shhh!

On the side of the Star Lake Guards, Glover roared and drew his sword, Rolf and Morgan followed with ruthless expressions, the three stood by Miranda's side and faced Seychelles without fear. and his sergeants.

Although there is a huge disparity in numbers, the confrontation between the Star Lake Guards and the Emerald Legion is of great significance, starting from the people near them, many spectators are terrified, and the crowd is full of commotion.

"What happened?"

"The conversation broke down?"

"Oops, I thought they were on good terms..."

"Push the card, squeeze it out!"

Rumours spread, panic gradually spread throughout the arena, and the guards and vigilantes maintaining order became more and more difficult.

At the center of the conflict, Thales and Jenn were close to Chi Chi, one side was firm and the other was cold.

"Well, can't we get on?" In the Star Lake Guard team, d.d asked cautiously.

"Of course—" Nexi drew his sword and stepped forward, but was pulled back by someone.

"Protect Your Highness!" Huaya let go of him and said with a sullen face.

"Jane, please, don't force me." Thales looked at the Duke of South Bank in front of him and shook his head slowly.

But Jenn's face is cold:

“Who is pushing whom?”

Tales narrowed his eyes.

"And when you turned the table, you realized," Jane whispered, "I don't have as much chips as I do?"

Tales frowned.

"Your Highness, I know it's disappointing to say this at this time, but..."

Wiya took two steps forward and came behind Thales. He looked around worriedly, and saw the Emerald Legion lined up in a row.

"We have few people, we are disadvantaged, and we can't beat it."

Tales rolled his eyes.

"Chip," he chuckled, keeping his eyes on the opposite Jen, "Lord Duke, you just said, chip?"

Jane's face didn't change, and he was silent.

The next second, Thales took a step forward and approached Jenn step by step under everyone's nervous eyes:

"You're right, Jenn! Federico misjudged the situation and his charges went unanswered because they lacked a leader."

Tales came to him with a stern expression:

"An adequate leader."

Jane's eyes changed slightly.

The next moment, Thales roared:

"Tell me, Jenn Cavendell!"

Under the gaze of all eyes, Thales spoke sharply:

"These days, wine merchants have died in vendettas, wool merchants in moneylending, Rene in accidents, Porwyn Jr. in brawls, Caquere vigilantes in robbery, and defenders simply disappearing— Is it a coincidence that six people in the kingdom have died unexpectedly? Is there something strange behind it?

As soon as these words came out, the heavyweight vassals and guests all turned pale!

Jane was expressionless, but his gaze at Thales was extremely cold.

Wiya was taken aback: "His Royal Highness..."

Tales snorted coldly and continued to raise the volume so that more people could hear:

"Or to put it bluntly, is the death of these kingdom people related to you, the vassal of the Star Kingdom, the Emerald City Lord personally granted by His Majesty, the guardian duke of the South Bank Land, Jenn Kevin Dier!"

Prince Thales directly accused the Duke of South Bank, which was no small matter. The surrounding vassals and guests were in an uproar, and they all exploded.

Only Federico looked up to the sky, laughing more and more happily.

But at this moment, no one cares about the prisoner's actions.

"No, Thales, what are you doing!"

Here stood between the prince and the duke, dazed and unbelievable, but Cassien sighed, clasped her arm, and pulled her back, and Ashford put a cloak on her in time.

See the people around you.

Jann took a deep breath, but he didn't say anything in the end, only his expression grew grim.

On the other side, the Seychelles knight's face was extremely ugly, and he had to yell loudly to prevent the sergeants in the legion from whispering and whispering in surprise.

"If you didn't do these orders, Jenn Kevin Dill," Thales didn't change his face, his voice was steady and his words were harsh, "why do you go to great lengths and use your means to get in touch? Do your best to hide the cause of death of these deceased? Why do you want to do everything possible to obstruct the investigation and inquiry of my subordinates? Why do you obstruct me from interrogating the suspect in the eucalyptus case - Federico Kevin Dier at this time?"

"Why, Jenn?"

Tales took a step forward and raised his arms:

"Can you explain it to me, to Your Majesty, to the whole kingdom?"

The prince's eyes were sharp, and the conversation changed again:

"Or, do I need to go a step further and find evidence and witnesses to prove that you intervened in law enforcement and covered up your life?"

The surrounding crowd is getting louder and louder.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the vassals and guests around the Duke's stand were frightened and scattered, leaving an open space for the Emerald Army and the Star Lake Guards to confront each other, and many nobles also subconsciously summoned bodyguards to accompany them. policy safety.

In the chaos, Jen stared at Thales, letting the noise in the arena overwhelm the sky and shake people's hearts.

"You originally knew the truth, Thales," said the Duke of South Bank, "but I guess at this moment, in front of so many people, you suddenly don't know, right?"

Tales didn't answer ~IndoMTL.com~ Instead, he turned to the surging audience with a blank face.

"Very well, then whether Jenn Kevin Deere is suspected of hiring a murderer, bent on favoritism, or obstructed justice..."

"Star Lake Guards!" Thales roared, causing Wyah and others to be shocked.

But the next second, he turned to Jenn again and shouted to the unexpected object:

"And the Emerald Legion!"

Seychelles frowned fiercely, and the subordinates behind him were in an uproar.

"Immediately enforce the law, arrest the serious suspect - Jenn Kevin Deere, imprisoned pending trial!"

In the arena under the moonlight, Thales was upright and roared and ordered:

"In the name of King Kessel V, High King of the Star Kingdom!"
