Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 24: Midier Canxing

　　 That night, under Ji Ni's knife-like gaze and merciless scolding, Thales had a hard time finishing a well-regulated dinner, and a boring etiquette class that could not be ignored-after all Etiquette, as a code of conduct, is also one of the criteria for classifying social classes-at any rate, you can tremble your hands and use the knife and fork in accordance with the rules.

　　 But Thales could feel the anger and dissatisfaction hidden under Gini's wonderful eyes. He vaguely knew that it had something to do with the history of stars that Gilbert told in the afternoon.

　　If the stars are there, the empire will live forever.

　　 This heavy oath, even in Thales, people who are not familiar with the legend of the founding of Tormund I can’t help their heartbeat speed up and blood boil.

　　 Gilbert and the guards full of the hall-only later that Thales learned that they are all descendants of the last imperial army-are such representatives.

　　 However, Thales was keenly aware of Ji Ni's disgust for this sentence and even the meaning behind it.

　　 But he dare not ask.

　　 He didn't know what attitude the female officer who claimed to be her father's lover had towards him.

　　 In the eyes of Ji Ni looking at him, Thales has seen the fleeting disgust in the other's eyes, and also seen her reluctance to endure herself, and the repeated hesitation when approaching herself, but only missing Sincere smile.

　　 Therefore, the entire etiquette class was extremely dull.

　　 Until Jini, whose eyes were burning, unexpectedly, she broke the silence first:

　　 "You don't like these rules and etiquette, do you?" Watching Thales try to bend his wrist to avoid exceeding the standard line of arm swing during meal, Ji Ni suddenly said coldly: "Your expression It's uglier than a horse that has just finished riding."

　　 Thales was startled by the sudden questioning, he tried his best to answer appropriately: "Uh, Ms. Ji Ni, I know these are necessary, and I am still trying my best to adapt..."

　　 But his words were interrupted by Ji Ni.

　　 "Of course you must learn these etiquette." She said coldly, but full of mocking disdain.

　　"It's better not to be their captive...walking and sitting in the so-called noble posture does not mean that you are really noble."

　　 "Similarly, standing up to those glorious and proud history does not mean that you are really..."

　　 Jini didn't say any more, she subconsciously bit on the second half of the sentence.

　　Thyls's heart shuddered.

　　 It seems that this lady has a different opinion about Gilbert's teachings?

　　 "Ms. Ji Ni," he cautiously tentatively said: "Gilbert's afternoon history lesson...you...you don't seem to...you don't..."

　　 "Huh, what are you kidding about, that's their great and long kingdom... How dare I have any opinion." Ji Ni sniffed and denied Thales' words, but the latter obviously read the female officer. The mockery and irony in the eyes.

　　 Thales fixedly looked at Jini and the father's lover.

　　 "Ms. Ji Ni," Thales said carefully and softly: "You didn't belong to your father from the beginning-the court maid, did you?"

　　 Ji Ni raised her eyebrows, and the beauty mole on her mouth trembled slightly.

　　"And you--do not like these etiquette, these rules, or even dislike them," Thales hesitated, but after looking at the knife and fork in his hand, he still asked, "Don't like this country? "

　　 The voice fell.

　　 Jini looked at Thales in a daze.

　　This kid.

　　 is really sensitive.

　　 Jini turned her head and looked at the gold and silver nine-pointed star sign above the fireplace in the study, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

　　 Just when Thales stuck out her tongue, thinking that she had asked the wrong question, and was about to lower her head nonchalantly to continue fighting with her knife and fork, Gini sighed and looked at Thales in a dream Knife and fork, opened gently:

　　 "I was born in Buckville, Shude County. It is a small city near the sea in the eastern part of the kingdom. It is not a prosperous trading port, but it can be self-sufficient by fishing. It is a good place in the stars."

　　"The city lord is my father. He has a small reputation in the eastern counties. For a long time, he has strictly trained us to abide by the rules, conform to the etiquette, and become ladies. I hope that one day our family will become a well-known family with a long heritage. "

　　 Thales glanced, and quickly took advantage of Ji Ni's attention, secretly moving the already rigid wrist.

　　 "But I happen to be a disobedient and rebellious daughter. I hate these rules and etiquette since I was young."

　　"I’m sixteen years old and I’m coming of age, but I’m a wild girl who can’t even dance court ballroom dancing, eats rudely and talks unscrupulously." Ji Ni under the lamp smiled bitterly and looked at the moon outside the window. The tone is full of nostalgia:

　　 "Of course my father won't let me mess around. In short, that memory is not very pleasant, things are a little bit stale, and the family wants to take away my identity and inheritance rights and send me to the temple to be a sacrifice."

　　 Thales stuck out his tongue in an invisible place. He knew that most priests in temples vowed not to marry, and to serve the gods for life.

　　 has reached this point, and it is probably not as simple as "somewhat stiff".

　　 Jini lowered her head slightly, her eyes darkened, but then she lifted it up with a happy smile.

　　 "But at this moment, a prince came to our castle as a guest."

　　What?

　　 Hearing this, Thales, who was moving his wrist, stopped.

　　Prince?

　　 will not be the kind of **** plot I think?

　　 Ji Ni continued:

　　 "He heard my story, but he just laughed."

　　"His Royal Highness pardoned my guilt in public and promised me that I do not have to follow the rules and etiquette that ordinary noble girls must abide by. But the premise is that as an adult, I must find a means of self-reliance besides being a noble daughter. ."

　　This—it’s really bloody?

　　 But Thales also had some doubts in his mind—the prince’s practices and concepts, don’t you think, how can I say, um, too advanced?

　　 But Ji Ni seemed to be talking to herself, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and she ignored Thales' reaction.

　　 "So I walked out of the family castle and followed the prince to the capital."

　　"From reading newspapers for that majesty every day, to the laborious clerical storekeeper, to the scribe on a page and one coin, to the secretary of the Security Department, to being admitted to the fifth-level security officer... my life It's completely changed because of him."

　　 Thales was taken aback. In his impression, Ji Ni was a standard court nobleman, but she never thought that she had such a colorful past.

　　 "However, after many years, I finally became a court lady." Ji Ni shook her head mockingly.

　　"Look at me—a shame of a nobleman who hates etiquette and rules—but he is here now, teaching the heir of the kingdom, teaching him the manners I hated the most."

　　 Jini finished speaking, her eyes returned directly to the dining table, staring at Thales—his knife dropped again.

　　 Thales chuckled awkwardly.

　　 asked a question that even I feel a little bit bloody:

　　 "That kind prince, is Kay—my father?"

　　Your father?

　　 Jini's eyes were a little blurry for a moment.

　　 But Thales did not get the answer he expected.

　　 I saw the court lady turned her head slightly, her face was complex and indistinguishable.

　　 "No, it's not him." Ji Ni said softly:

　　 "I still remember the smile on his face when his Highness forgiven me, forgiving a shackled, dirty, crying girl."

　　"The kind of warm, tolerant, sunny smile. It seems that he is feeling all the beauty of this world every moment, no matter what kind of ugliness and filth, it will not move him."

　　"Your father, Kessel, was just a dude prince who was known for his arrogance in the capital. His face was full of smirks that panicked ladies--but there is no such reassuring Smile."

　　 Thales looked at Gini in surprise.

　　King Kessel——Crazy, presumptuous, dwarf prince?

　　 He saw Ji Ni’s eyes twinkling, as if embracing infinite gratitude and sigh, and then slowly spit out every word:

　　 "That day, it was the eldest son of the first king who came to our castle."

　　"His Majesty Kessel’s eldest brother, Midil Canxing, the former Crown Prince."

　　————————————————

　　 "So, we thought it was the Corleone family who came to help, the so-called three masters," Duke Jen frowned, put down a letter made of lacquer with a claw emblem, and set a fork in the tricolor iris. Raise your hands:

　　"It's just a loser in clan fighting."

　　" In the name of the Corleone family, they used our invitations, borrowed our voyage ships, and relied on our customs clearance privileges to use our Kevin Deere family as fools, sailing across the end of the sea and fleeing the pain Yau, hidden in Yongxing City, lived in our manor for so long, and took away a lot of blood..."

　　 "Is that so?"

　　 In front of his desk, the standing extreme knights, Lord Cassian and Lord Seychelles did not speak, but looked complicated, watching between them, the sweaty man kneeling on the ground. Young bald man.

　　Cassian remembered that the bald middle-aged man came to the old duke's command with him, and played for Kevin Deere's tricolor iris at the same time as the Tower of End.

　　Unfortunately, the middle-aged man was not skilled enough and was seriously injured in a battle. From then on, he could only handle civil affairs. But even so, the old duke pityed his situation and trusted him to take care of the voyage affairs.

　　What is his name? Cassian tried to search his memory, but couldn't remember it.

　　 "Yes...yes...they showed the holy blood emblem that is only available to Corleone’s bloodline, the blond and threatening us with a bad attitude..." The kneeling middle-aged man was about to top his head. The ground was on the ground, stuttering to explain.

　　"They still have that letter from you...your handwritten letter..."

　　 "Okay," Duke Jen sighed and rubbed his eyebrows. Ashford, the housekeeper next to him, immediately poured a glass of craft wine from the Duchy of Sera.

　　 Janen tried his best to show a helpless smile: "This matter is not your fault, go on, remember to be careful next time."

　　 The middle-aged bald man, like a pardoned man, kept nodding his head and confessed his crimes. Only at the urging of Seychelles, did he tremble and exit the study.

　　 "He used to be a talent, but now it's useless." Jane said with a grieving face, and picked up his wine glass: "Send him to the East Continent again. Let him be dealt with on the high seas."

　　"Don’t do it within the borders and territorial waters, I don’t want to commit murder."

　　 Cassian's heart moved when he heard these words.

　　 "Master Duke," he said unbearably: "If you keep him, he will definitely be more dedicated..."

　　 Cassian didn't notice the secret signal that Seychelles gave him nearby.

　　 "Never mind normal affairs, but such key secret affairs, I don't want to make mistakes." Duke Jen sighed, "He made a mistake, and he already had grudges and shadows in his heart. Especially, he Doubts about the future will only deepen over time."

　　 "And he knows our contact with Corleone, which is involved in that plan."

　　 "You all know how important that plan is."

　　 Cassian finally noticed the secret signal from Seychelles, so he lowered his head and stopped making a sound.

　　"Next time we set sail, let's change to a new person," Duke Jen took a sip of wine disappointedly. "When my father was still there, they were far less slack in doing things."

　　 Ashford replied calmly: "Loyalty and caution both need time to settle."

　　 Jane shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, what we lack most is time-that incident was within a month, and our staff can't participate in it. It's better not to have any accidents."

　　 Seychelles nodded slightly: "My lord, please rest assured, the mercenaries invited at such a high price have ample opportunity to assassinate Your Majesty."

　　 Lord Cassian shuddered slightly, not knowing why his colleagues were so bold and false.

　　 Jann paused, and after a while, he turned his attention to Seychelles.

　　 "Don't talk nonsense." The little duke said coldly.

　　 Seychelles lowered his head to plead guilty, but sneered secretly:

　　 It seems that the Duke has no complaints.

　　"It’s time for you to set off. Both the Cullen’s and the Nantriste’s family will send people there. Don't conflict with them at this node."

　　Jane's eyes are cold, and he cautiously said to Cassian and Seychelles: "When the mercenaries succeed, you will deal with those who did it."

　　 Cassian shook his head in disbelief. He looked up in disbelief: "My lord! Get rid of those people? Didn't we hire them under another name? They, some of them are mine in the Tower of End— —"

　　Jane suddenly looked at him!

　　 his eyes are like swords.

　　 Cassian's throat trembled, and this extreme knight couldn't say the rest.

　　"Then persuade your friend to go back," Jann said calmly, but Ashford knew that this was his dissatisfaction: "Change to someone who is not your friend."

　　 Seychelles jerked at the back of Cassian's clothes, and caught the latter's words back into his throat.

　　 "As you wish, my lord." The shrewd Seychelles nodded, took Cassian with a sullen face, and walked away.

　　 Jane exhaled slowly, calmed down, and looked at the portrait of the old duke in the distance.

　　 "Cassian is getting old."

　　He said indifferently.

　　"After this incident, send him back to the Emerald City, or his own territory."

　　 Ashford looked calm and nodded slightly

　　"As for the Corleone refugees, Ashford, you can do it yourself, just from the cavalry who broke into the creeper manor that night," Jen poured out the bottom of the glass of red wine, his eyes were cold: "Contact Ke The Lyon family-write directly to the Queen of Night-tell Katerina what is happening here, and raise our bargaining chip at the opportunity."

　　 Ashford nodded: "As you wish."

　　 "The temptation in Mindith Hall, I remember it was handed over to the Blood Bottle Gang. Still didn't find Nekra?" Jen narrowed his eyes and looked at Ashford.

　　 "No, sir," Ashford bowed slightly, "The Blood Bottle Gang is now in chaos without the leader of the dragons, and there are rumors that he is going abroad to find the blood magician."

　　 Blood Magician?

　　 Jen closed his eyes tightly, and let out a breath from his nose.

　　The education he had received forced him to do his best to swallow the words that were unmannered but wanted to say into his stomach.

　　 "There is no way~IndoMTL.com~ Then just send our hands to control the blood bottle gang." Duke Jen opened his eyes, no emotion in his pupils, he put down his glass and said:

　　"In these two months, I will control all the rumors and news on the blood bottle gang, from civilians to soldiers, nobles to merchants."

　　 Ashford nodded slightly.

　　 "The messenger sent to Exeter should also return. See if Grand Duke Heisha is willing to seize this opportunity." Jann leaned back into the comfortable recliner and narrowed his eyes.

　　 wait, father.

　　 three-color iris, it will go further soon.

　　If it goes well.

　　 Wujian has a bad habit. I like to upload the chapters first, and then browse them in the reader interface (this is more efficient, I can’t see a ball on the code page at all), review and modify, Sometimes even overhaul.

　　 So if you see the book friends who have updated, please check the time first. If the update is less than 20 minutes, then Wujian is most likely to be amending the notebook now, and then the overall update will be in the background. , Don't worry, wait a minute, after half an hour, look again, then it will be the final version.

　　 So at this time, just smile.

　　 Don’t be anxious, if you read a draft chapter and are poisoned to death by typos and bad logic, wouldn’t it be Wujian’s fault? ?
