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

Chapter 706 In the name of the king

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

Even though he was kneeling in embarrassment and humiliation on the ground in front of the stands, 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, and it was so swollen that it was hard to see, his jaw was dragged out a big hole, blood oozing, and his ribs were kicked , a dull pain, the left wrist that was tied behind the back was severely sprained, and the pain was excruciating.

And that's just the upper body.

But Feder was still laughing.

The smile was extraordinarily happy, extraordinarily relieved, extraordinarily sincere, even with a hint of madness, no matter how harshly the security officer in charge of escorting him reprimanded him to restrain himself.

Once upon a time, he curled up in a small, cold, dark room, propping himself up with hatred and shame, shivering in the endless screams and groans in his ears, and maintaining his body temperature with pain and anger.

Recalling the countless days and nights spent in that small room, Fede unconsciously tightened his body and slowed down his breathing.

His mouth smelled of mud and blood, blood and saliva kept oozing from his lips, and he had no strength or time to wipe it off.

Now, this bit of wound and pain, this bit of humiliation and embarrassment, compared with the previous experience, is like a reward of fate.

They remind you where you are.

It heralds the coming revenge and pleasure.

It also foretells that he is willing to give everything in exchange for something in return.

The arc of Fede's mouth widened.

The lights around him were as bright as day, but the shadow under him was as black as ink.

The sword wielder, the **** who claimed to have killed the royal guard, really left? No mercy at all?

Forget it.

Anyway, it's almost done.

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

The security officers who escorted him were panicked and at a loss, the audience farther away was full of noise, the vassals were discussing fiercely, the foreign guests were whispering, the guards were nervous and vigilant, and the sergeants were holding their weapons tightly...

"It's okay here! They just need to talk, you all stand back, stay away, don't come over! Keep everyone else away!"

Heilei yelled, preventing the surrounding guards and servants from approaching, and signaled them all to retreat, who were nervous and anxious.

Miss Kevin Dill has a special status and has a close relationship with their respective masters. Both the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion have scruples. They have to retreat slowly, push back the crowd, and separate a space for Thales and Zhan En There is not a small open space, and at the same time, they are wary of each other.

Soon, everyone in the audience, regardless of locals or outsiders, regardless of vassals and guests or ordinary guards, regardless of anxiety or calmness, anger or rejoicing, are waiting for the two highest-ranking members of the Emerald City at this moment. People, or rather, are the result of their negotiations.

"Exploring?"

Jen En didn'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 Emerald City, but to test your position at this moment?"

"It should be both," Thales came back to his senses, the sense of emptiness after the crime of prison river faded made him dizzy, "his preference has always been to kill two birds with one stone, so whether he wins or loses, he can at least have one Harvest."

Jen frowned.

"Listen, I know that Federico is a big threat to you," Thales turned his head to look at Federico, who was kneeling in the formation of police officers, with a strange smile, "but I can't stand by , I need him to live for now, otherwise my father will know..."

"Then let him know!"

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

"Let him know that it was Fei De who was too stupid and blind to cause the failure, and you couldn't make up for it, not us..."

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

Lies.

The voice in his heart said not so pleasantly sarcastically:

You are very clear, Thales.

With King Kessel's suspicion and vigilance, he will never be so considerate.

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

Thales tried hard to get rid of distracting thoughts:

"But now, I'm standing here, watching, and Federico is there, waiting or expecting my intervention..."

Jen En snorted lightly.

"I should have asked Seychelles to drive you to the farthest stand to separate you, or even lock you up in the palace..." he sarcastically said, "I shouldn't even have let you get close Hilley."

Thales let out a long sigh.

"Guys, I've stabilized them, but it won't be long," Hilley turned around in an anxious voice, "Tell me, you've worked out a solution to this situation, right?"

Jen En had an ugly expression and remained silent.

"That's right, we have a solution," the prince looked around, trying not to let the eyes of the outside world disturb him, his voice was so small that only the Kevin Dill brothers and sisters could hear, "Listen, Jann, you asked me What price do you want before you are willing to help? This is it."

Thales looked at Federico in the distance.

"You're saying that you want to cover up the rebellious party openly," Zhan En said in a low voice, with a bad tone, "support his accusation, frame him, and make me a suspect of patricide and silence—and then you can come" Help me?"

"What?" Hilley couldn't believe it.

"No, those charges won't be adopted, I just want to delay the situation," Thales wanted to explain, "So Jann, you can't win yet, Federico can't die yet..."

"We talked," Zhan En interrupted him coldly, "In Emerald City, let's suspend the truce for the time being and not be enemies with each other..."

"I am not your enemy."

"Then what is this?"

Jane's tone became urgent.

Hey Lai hurriedly grabbed his brother, but the Duke's expression made the people in the Emerald City even more restless.

Thales felt a headache.

"If you win today, Jen, if you let Federico just disappear—do you think my father will let it go? Then maybe it won't be me, not Federico, who will come to the Emerald City next time, It's not Kingdom Secrets, but Kingdom Fury and his troops!"

Jane watched him closely, and after a few seconds, the Duke smiled.

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

Thales paused.

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

Jen lowered his voice and tried his best to maintain basic decency:

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

Thales hesitated to speak.

"What's even more absurd is that even if I win this game, you'll still be a noble prince, with a smaller wallet and less paternal love at most." Zhan En said coldly.

No.

Thales took a breath, and the Guertaxa in his pocket became heavier and heavier.

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

The Duke of South Bank glanced at the people who were looking forward to him, his eyes became more and more cold.

Hile's face turned pale.

Thales swallowed.

"You can't lose."

Jane sneered, he looked at Federico:

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

Thales frowned lightly.

"Duke Falkenhaus, he faced the same problem, but he chose to trust me," Thales took off the 'Warner' from his waist, speaking earnestly, "He gave me a sword, Western Wilderness was finally preserved."

Jane's expression changed.

Thales took a step forward, sincerely looking into the cold and decisive eyes of the other party:

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

Jane's eyes moved.

At that moment, it seemed that everything in the arena came to a standstill.

Only Thales and Zhan En were left to decide the fate of Emerald City in this crucial conversation.

"You think you're sure of her, don't you?" Zhan En said softly.

"What?" Thales and Xi Lai were both startled.

"Do you think that you played the good guy card and made friends with her by deceiving yourself, so that you can soften my attitude and blur the essence of this struggle?"

Jen En looked at his sister, then at Thales, and sneered:

"Do you think I can't see your attitude and position here, that you would rather resort to tricks and luck than face the facts, and just want to bow your head and escape?"

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

Prefer to resort to tricks and luck...

Unwilling to face the truth...

I just want to bow my head and escape...

Jane what is he talking about?

He subconsciously clenched his fist, but through his pocket, he met Guertaksa—the bone ring.

"Um, brother," Xi Lai felt uncomfortable, "I think we'd better discuss the matter as it is, and we shouldn't go too far..."

"Second Lieutenant Cherki, continue to **** the suspect!"

The next second, Zhan En's cold order woke up everyone present.

"No one is allowed to obstruct the way until he is sent to prison!!"

Thales' mood sank and he returned to reality.

"Jane!" he warned loudly.

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

"Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hesitation, and weakness," Zhan En turned his head and sneered again and again, "I'm really tired of your selfless pretense, which is only for your own convenience and satisfaction. The appearance makes me sick."

Thales trembled inwardly.

Heilei understood her brother's attitude and was taken aback:

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

But the Duke didn't care about the prince's warning, nor his sister's persuasion, and ordered:

"Secretary Office, what are you still doing?"

Beside Federico, the police officers who were hesitating in a daze were all stunned, and they roughly dragged Federico who was kneeling:

"Yes-yes!"

The crowd became agitated again, and people began to discuss what happened in this round of negotiations and dialogues, how the duke and the prince fought around the suspect...

But Thales just stared at Zhan En with a determined expression.

Damn it.

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

[I'd rather resort to tricks and luck...don't want to face the truth...just want to bow my head and escape...]

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed in the blink of an eye.

[You walk on the top of the cliff, but dream about the view of the sky...]

The king's voice sounded faintly, making Thales tremble violently!

Really?

A few seconds later, when Thales returned to reality and the present, when he struggled to look at the bustling crowd in front of him, looking at the faces of Zhan En and Xi Lai...

He knew he had made a choice.

"Duke Jann!"

Thales said in a loud voice, the voice was amplified by the crime of prison river, so that everyone around could hear it clearly:

"The things mentioned by the suspect Federico Kevin Dill are of great importance and have many doubts. For the sake of fairness and justice, and your reputation, I think we should not rush to draw conclusions. We might as well set up a special case and send people to Strict investigation, careful interrogation, until the truth comes to light, how about it?"

After the prince's voice fell, the crowd that had been chattering suddenly fell silent, and the security officers escorting Federico also slowed down, and the leader glanced worriedly here and there from time to time.

Zhan En looked at him slowly, his face livid.

"What?" Hille was equally surprised and unbelievable.

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

"Your Highness Thales," Jen En said clearly, but at a slow pace, "You must be tired and your mind is not clear."

Jen En's response made Thales sigh softly.

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

He got it.

The atmosphere was not right, the people from both sides - Star Lake Guard and Emerald Legion - stood in unison, subconsciously moving closer to their master.

"Star Lake Guard!"

Thales drank decisively, causing Zhan En's eyes to change.

He understood that this confrontation has nothing to do with promises, justice, character, and their personal grievances.

It's all about the stakes.

Jen wanted to win, so of course he refused to back down.

As for Thales, he couldn't lose, so naturally he could only move forward.

"In the name of the king, get the suspect Federico Kevin Dill quickly!"

Facing Thales' unflinching reaction, Zhan En frowned.

Thales looked back at the ashen-faced Xinghu guards:

"Take it back and keep it under strict surveillance—our surveillance!"

After the words fell, Wyah, who was still hesitating, was completely stunned, until Miranda kicked him hard.

"Yeah - follow orders, Your Highness!"

Wayer tried his best not to look at the eyes of the people around him, and turned to look at his colleagues who were also shocked:

"So, the vanguard wing, or the guard wing? In short, His Highness has ordered that I need two..."

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

Maybe the king's name is big enough, and the security officers next to him looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to stop him, but Miranda hasn't moved forward a few steps——

"Seychelles!"

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

Boom!

With a blunt sound, Miranda raised the eagle soaring, and parried away an unsheathed sword.

"Stand back, ma'am, that's Emerald City's own prisoner."

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

The two soldiers confronted each other, making everyone extremely nervous. Both the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Sergeant looked at their masters one after another, gearing up secretly to prepare for the attack.

"Seychelles Knight, did you hear His Royal Highness Thales' order?" Miranda tightened the hilt of her sword tightly in her glove.

Seychelle glanced at Zhan En—the latter had trembling eyebrows and his face was ashen.

The knight turned his head: "Sorry, I'm deaf."

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

"You are not my opponent, it's almost the same as Mallos." Seychelles said disdainfully.

"Terror Blade has other important matters, so I have no time for him." Miranda felt the strong pressure from the other party, but she gritted her teeth firmly and did not show any weakness.

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

The expressions of the bystanders around are different. Most of the foreigners come with a calm expression, but the local nobles and vassals look ugly. Earl Lasia clenched his fists in anger, and the two Miss Karabyan stuck together Whispering.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Xi Lai yelled, and she rushed between Zhan En and Thales, pointing at one person with one hand, with an angry expression on her face:

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

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

The Cassian knights silently appeared beside them.

"I'm not sure about fighting you," Cassian sighed, "but I can assure you, Seychelles, Ms. Arend, I will attack the one who strikes first."

Miranda and Seychelles frowned, and they looked at each other.

Seychelle snorted coldly and took the lead to take a step back. Miranda heaved a sigh of relief and also backed away.

The two parties retreated a little, to make room for the Duke and the three of them again.

"Get out of the way, Xi Lai," Zhan En reprimanded his sister, but kept his eyes on Thales, "It's not your time to talk now..."

"Shut up, brother," Xi Lai turned her head, and poked her finger viciously in the direction of Zhan En, "This is all a basket that you think you are poking out! A trap, huh? There are more chips, huh? The overall situation is settled? Ha, ha, ha!"

Jane's face sank.

Seeing this, Thales sighed and said, "Hey Lai, this matter really has nothing to do with you..."

Healy turned around sharply and pointed at Thales' forehead:

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

Thales frowned.

After Xi Lai's tyrannical robbing, the two sides looked at me and I looked at you, and the atmosphere was a little chilly.

Xilai tried her best to calm down and said to the two in a low voice:

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

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

"I think he is like his father, he likes Emerald City..."

"Shut up!"

Healy interrupted them angrily, causing them both to pause.

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

"Listen, Thales, I know, my brother is in a mess when he is concerned about himself. He doesn't want to give up the advantages he already has, and he doesn't want to spit out the meat in his mouth, but..."

In the middle of speaking, Xi Lai sighed slowly:

"However, Thales, you have to understand that if you stand up to support Federico's accusations: patricide, silence... Doing this will not only prevent Zhan En from winning, but you will also force him Die."

Thales paused.

"I know, I understand, but please believe me, Hille, 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, too?" Jann sneered.

Thales' eyelids twitched.

"Use your hypocritical rhetoric—"Please trust me" to lie to him that you will help him and save him. So that you, who are kind-hearted and don’t want to see others’ suffering, can be pure if you don’t see it?”

Thales trembled all over, and he slowly raised his head.

"Jane!"

Hey Lai turned her head, her expression suddenly became fierce:

"I told you to shut up!"

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

"I said, don't mention his name." Thales looked at the sneering Zhan En expressionlessly.

"Who?" Zhan En intentionally sarcastically said, "Oh, you mean Anke, Anke Bailar? That unlucky Western Wilderness who was sent to the prison of bones by you who was kind enough to never see the light of day? "

Healy felt a splitting headache:

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

Thales smiled.

"That letter, Jen."

Thales chuckled and said:

"I tore up the letter you wrote to my father, humiliated, servile, flattering and begging."

Zhan En's eyes froze.

"Just in front of the imperial meeting, in front of him, torn to pieces."

Thales sneered:

"That's why I can get his permission to come here so that you can see with your own eyes: how I put you..."

"Thals!"

Hile turned around and interrupted, in disbelief.

But she was also late. Zhan En looked at Thales with complicated and relieved eyes.

In the end, he actually showed an ominous smile.

"Very good, very good." Zhan En applauded lightly and raised his chin towards Seychelles.

Seychelles understood the meaning of the Duke of South Bank, he glanced ironically at Cassian who was fighting, and then ordered:

"Emerald Legion, assist the security department, clear the obstacles, and **** the prisoners!"

Shua!

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

Shua!

On the side of the Star Lake guards, Glover roared and drew his sword, Rolf and Morgan followed closely behind, and the three stood beside Miranda, facing Seychelles without fear. and his sergeants.

Although there is a huge difference in numbers, the confrontation between the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion is of great significance. Starting from the people around them, many spectators are terrified and the crowd is in a commotion.

"What happened?"

"The talk is broken?"

"Oops, I thought they had a good relationship..."

"Punch the card, squeeze it out!"

Rumors spread, panic gradually spread to the entire arena, and the guards and police officers who maintained order became more and more struggling.

At the center of the conflict, Thales and Zhan En are close at hand, one side is firm and the other side is ruthless.

"Well, can we make it?" D.D asked cautiously in the Xinghu guard team.

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

"Protect Your Highness!" Huai Ya let go of him and said with a dark face.

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

But Jen has a cold face:

"Who is forcing whom?"

Thales narrowed his eyes.

"And when you turned the table, you realized," Jen En said softly, "You don't have as many chips as I do?"

Thales frowned.

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

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

"We have few people, we are at a disadvantage, and we can't beat them."

Thales turned his eyes.

"Stakes," he chuckled, keeping his eyes on Zhan En, who was opposite him, "Master Duke, you just said, chips?"

Zhan En remained silent.

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

"You're right, Jann! Federico misjudged the situation, and his accusation was ignored because they lacked a leader."

Thales came to him with a stern expression:

"A leader with enough weight."

Zhan En's eyes changed slightly.

The next moment, Thales roared:

"Tell me, Jann Cavendeer!"

Under the gaze of all eyes, Thales said sharply:

"In these days, the wine merchant died of a vendetta, the wool merchant died of a loan lender, Rene died of an accident, little Boerwen died of a brawl, the Caguieri police officer died of robbery, and the defender simply disappeared—— Six people in the kingdom have already died unexpectedly, is this a coincidence? Is there something strange behind it? Is there a hidden secret? Or is Emerald City's law and order worrying, and governance is urgent?"

As soon as these words came out, all the heavyweight vassals and guests changed their faces!

Jen En was expressionless, but his eyes on Thales were extremely cold.

Huai Ya was taken aback: "Your Highness..."

Thales snorted coldly, and continued to raise the volume to let more people hear:

"Or to put it bluntly, is the death of the people of these kingdoms related to you, the minister of the Star Kingdom, the emerald city lord personally appointed by His Majesty, the guardian duke of the South Bank, Jann Cavendir!"

Prince Thales directly accused the Duke of South Bank.

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

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

"No, Thales, what are you doing!"

Shirley stood between the prince and the duke, dazed and unbelievable, but Cassian sighed, grabbed her arm, and pulled her back, and Ashford threw a cloak over her just in time.

See the people around you.

Jen En took a deep breath, but he didn't say anything in the end, but his expression became more and more cold.

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

"If you weren't responsible for these murders, Jen Kevin Dill," Thales said without changing his expression, his voice was steady, and his words were harsh, "why did you go to such lengths and use means and relationships? Why are you trying to hide the cause of death of these dead? Why do you want to do everything possible to obstruct the investigation and questioning of my subordinates? Why do you want to prevent me from interrogating the suspect in the case at this time—Federico Cavendir?"

"Why, Jen?"

Thales took a step forward and raised his arms:

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

The prince's gaze sharpened, and the topic changed again:

"Or, do I need to go further and find evidence and witnesses to prove that you meddled in law enforcement and covered up the murder?"

The discussion among the surrounding crowd is getting louder and louder.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the vassals and guests around the Duke's stand dispersed in fright, leaving an open space for the Emerald Legion and the Star Lake Guard to confront each other, and many nobles also subconsciously summoned bodyguards to accompany them policy security.

In the chaos, Zhan En stared at Thales, letting the sound waves in the arena overwhelming, and people were shaken in panic.

"You knew the truth, Thales," the Duke of South Bank paused every word, "but I guess at this moment ~IndoMTL.com~ in front of so many people, you suddenly don't know again, yes Right?"

Thales didn't answer. Instead, he turned to the tide-like audience with a blank expression.

"Very well, so whether Jann Cavendeer is suspected of hiring murderers, bending the law for personal gain, or obstructing justice..."

"Star Lake Guard!" Thales roared angrily, shocking Huai Ya and the others.

But in the next second, he turned to Zhan En's direction and shouted to the unexpected target:

"And the Emerald Legion!"

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

"Immediately enforce the law and arrest the suspect in the serious case—Jane Kevin Dill, and put him in jail pending trial!"

In the arena under the moonlight, Thales was upright and gave an order:

"In the name of His Majesty the Supreme King of the Star Kingdom, King Kessel V!"
