Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 26: Friends and enemies
When Thales, who was in a complicated mood, watched Heisha led the group away amidst Huaia's complaints, there was a rush of horseshoes behind him. `Le`wen` novels ``lwxiaoshuo`
The vigilant Wyah and others subconsciously blocked the prince, but Thales, who had long been expected, sighed and turned back calmly.
It came so fast.
I'm so anxious too.
Amid the dissatisfied neighs of the horses, the visitor overturned his mount. Accompanied by his attendant, he walked through the guards and walked towards Thales with a stiff face. Lord Justin saluted him respectfully.
That's the Earl of Brisbane.
The regent of Longxiao City, who is old but still energetic, stood in front of Thales, his expression unswerving.
"Master Regent," the prince glanced across the Dragon City patrols that followed the Earl, and nodded politely to Earl Lisbane, as if he was not surprised by his sudden appearance: "It is so Should I be surprised if I care about my leisure trip?"
But the earl who came after hearing the news had a dark face, and had no thoughts of greeting the prince: "Do you know how arbitrary and reckless this is? Just board the black sand-collared carriage?"
Tyles shrugged helplessly, and walked to his mount Jenny with Lisban. Wiya, Rolf and others were one step behind, keeping a short distance.
I saw this ex-prime minister cast a sharp look and looked around, making the guards who were relieved to get nervous again: "What happened?"
"Black Sand collar, what did they tell you?"
What did you say?
The prince thought of the secret that King Chaman had told him, and couldn't help feeling gloomy.
Moral...
Selma...
"They are very interested in Longxiao City, but they can't directly contact the Grand Duke," Thales made a nuisance in the direction where the people of the black sand collar left, his expression relaxed: "For this, they want to win me over. ."
Risban's eyes changed several times.
"You? Are they trying to win you over?"
"May I remind you of the relationship between Dragon City and that King Chaman? Or what role did you play in the storm six years ago?"
Thyls blinked.
"I think that the black sand collar will not unsurely pin his hopes on a foreign prince who is almost an old enemy," the count said with a sullen face. "Or, they have very good reasons to talk to you. ?"
Thyls squeezed his fist slightly in his sleeve and started to look at Lisban before him again.
So keen.
"So, Prince Thales," Lisban's words were polite but compelling: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Thyls couldn't help but a faint vigilance surged in his heart.
How credible are Rumba's words?
In Longxiao City, who is the enemy and who is the friend?
How should he choose?
Tyles took a deep breath, uncontrollably remembering what Rumba had said, that terrible secret.
The gift of the king.
The prince looked at the earl in front of him in a complicated mood, and his gaze flicked over his pale temples.
In the past six years, what kind of mood did the first power official of Longxiao City look at when Selma grew up?
What does he think of Selma, who is the title of the king?
The Grand Duke? The wife of the future grand duke? The little girl who is not deep in the world?
Or is it...
"Yes."
The prince sighed slightly: "They gave me a very convincing reason."
The count listened carefully.
"They said," Thales raised his head and said quietly: "As long as I can help them, King Chaman will order it himself..."
The prince paused slightly and bit out a sentence:
"Release me to my country."
At that second, the old Regent's eyes froze on Thales' face.
Tyles squeezed out a grudging smile and spread his hands.
"Really, it's really interesting." After a few seconds of pause, the count pursed his mouth, his tone intriguing: "Then how did you answer?"
Thyls stood in front of Jenny, looking at the girl's jubilation, thoughtfully.
"I want to think about it," Thales replied very slowly:
"This is my answer."
Risban did not speak.
After a few seconds, the regent raised his eyebrows gently: "You know, you are in Longxiao City."
Thyls nodded: "I know."
Risban looked at him intently: "You also know that the female congress is protecting you."
Thyls took a deep breath: "I know."
"But you still need to know..."
This time, Earl Lisbane raised his volume slightly, and saw a stern look in his eyes: "At the king election six years ago, when the five grand princes agreed, you can’t let you leave Exeter. When..."
"How did the lonely Lady Selma stand in the Hall of Heroes, and how did she threaten the princes in front of the Lord Holm: If she is not allowed to leave you in Dragon City, then she refuses to elect the king, Destroy in Longxiao City with the five of them."
Thyls was stunned.
He lowered his head and looked at the ground blankly, remembering how Grand Duke Lecco patted him on the shoulder in the Hall of Valor back then, asking him to take care of himself.
"This, I really don't know." The prince said in a daze.
Risban looked at Thales’ expression and nodded slightly: "Please don’t make her regret that decision."
"It's time for you to go back to the palace. You don't want to offend Lord Nicolai at this time-there will be outdoor classes tomorrow." The Lord Regent finished speaking, glanced at the pensive Prince, and turned away.
"Risban Regency."
Thyls stopped the earl: "Will you miss him?"
Risban turned around and looked at His Royal Highness blankly, with raised eyebrows.
"Do you miss King Nunn?" Thales added: "You know, the natural king, the real Walton tough guy."
The prince has a slight face, looking like a sentimental poet, "thinking ‘how good would it be if he is still there’?"
This time, the silence between the two lasted for a long time, and Wiya, who was a few steps away, couldn't help but signal Thales, but Rolf stopped it.
"Every day," after a long silence, Earl Lisbane finally said flatly: "I miss him every day, especially when the mountain of official documents and chores are piled on the table again."
"You cannot imagine how deep our friendship is."
Thyls looked at him steadily: "Yes."
"You know, when King Nunn was still there, Dragon City and even Exeter were far from this way," Thales sighed, "Vassal vassals have their place. Preface, lead the people to perform their duties, in good order."
Thyls stared at the earl’s face closely, with a touch of emotion: "But after he left, during the years when the Grand Duchess was in office, the whole Longxiao City was in turmoil and panic."
"Now, even the black sand collar dared to come and contact me in Longxiao City."
Risban looked at him motionlessly.
"She hasn't ruled for a long time, and people haven't gotten used to it yet. We need time and patience." The count replied perfectly.
Tyles narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes, maybe for Longxiao City, a fragile and feeble girl is still not far from the position of Duke Walton." The prince shook his head lightly, meaning something.
"Perhaps, she is far from the qualifications to rule Longxiao City."
Risban frowned slightly, in an unhappy tone: "Please don't interpret my words casually, Prince Thales."
Tyles closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"Master Regent," the prince asked seemingly indifferently: "If one day the Dragon Spear family is cut off, Walton will have no successor."
Earl Lisbane's face stagnated.
"In Longxiao City, how will you and your family deal with each other?"
As soon as this statement came out, Lisban gave him a deep look.
"Even if we are allies, what you just said is still easy to misunderstand, Prince Thales, especially after your meeting with the messenger of the black sand collar," the earl’s words have been polite but indisputable Stern: "Even now, six years later."
Tyles smiled apologetically: "Please understand that the status quo of Longxiao City worries me, whether it is the Liberty Alliance and Qiyuan City in the west, or the black sand leader in the city, of course , Including the vassals of Longxiao City-I have to think about it a bit more and make plans early."
Risban stared at him firmly, motionless.
"Dragon City will always belong to the Walton family," the earl said slowly: "The descendants of Nekaru have ruled this land for nearly 700 years, but the Dragon Spear Banner in the Cloud has been passed down to this day. It is not unreasonable. ."
"Whether it is the Freedom League or Qiyuan City, there will be news."
"Don't worry about unnecessary and unnecessary concerns."
Thyls stared at the Earl of Lisbane for a long time, thoughts abound.
"I understand."
The prince is meaningful and authentic.
The next second, he nodded slightly, stepped on Jenny's back without hesitation, and rode away, leaving the Earl of Lisbane and the patrols far behind him.
After entering the first city gate, Thales did not accidentally see Nicolae at the gate of the palace, but the meteorite just glanced at him from a distance, then turned his head and gathered together just like The Duke's guard who was facing the enemy disbanded, turned and left.
They...
The prince frowned.
This night, Thales did not fall asleep.
For the first time, he felt that the walls and floor tiles of Longxiao City were extraordinarily hard, and the knock made his back hurt.

"Let me summarize."
In the Grand Duke’s study, "Old Crow" Meri Hexer was sitting in his favorite position, as before, he didn’t use books or brush strokes, he just leaned on a cane and smiled tremblingly. Then, gently nodded to the two students.
Thyls put his cheek in his hand, looking at Hexer seriously.
"Dear Selma gave us many interesting and powerful explanations on how the co-governance oath was achieved: for example, why the most powerful King Nunn I was willing to compromise."
The strongest power...
Nun...
What is the terrible old king thinking?
Hickel's voice continued: "For example, the prestige of King Nekaru and Queen of the Sky is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
The descendants of Nekaru...
Prestige...
Selma, in Dragon City, how much prestige does she need in order to stabilize her rule, even her bloodline...
"For example, the glacier defense line needs far more power than a grand prince to support maintenance."
The Grand Duke...
What impact will the game between the princes have on Selma's rule?
"For example, as we said in the first lesson, the limits of rule: If the system of autonomy of the princes and the vassals is not maintained, then only a king and his vassals, Exeter does not matter How can it be difficult to maintain and guard this vast land spanning the four ancient provinces from Xitao to the North, second only to the vast land of the ancient empire..."
The limits of domination...
At this moment, Thales only felt a pain in his ribs!
He turned his head blankly, looking at the side Selma casually retracted his elbow.
Tyles looked at her blankly.
What's wrong?
Until——
"Sorry~IndoMTL.com~I repeat."
Hickser looked straight at the star prince.
I saw the old crow smiling and speaking: "Is there anything else you need to add regarding the fulfillment of the co-governance oath, Thales?"
Tyles woke up in shock.
He lost his mind unconsciously, hurriedly opened his notes, shook his head apologetically, and nodded again: "Sorry—I... yes, why does Exeter’s co-governance oath work? Achieved, I have something to add..."
Hickser raised his head slightly, showing a look of interest.
"The Kingdom of Stars."
Thyls raised his head and replied: "The achievement of the "Co-governance Pact" is largely due to the contribution of the Star Kingdom."
