Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 3: Initiator (Part 1)
The important ministers and lords in the hall began to whisper, and many people even smiled.
"Good girl," Duke Cullen smiled, and whispered to the "unwelcome" Duke Falkenhauser next to him: "Have you learned poisonous tongue?"
"Poison tongue? Where is it?" Cyril Falkenhauser curled his mouth and said quietly: "But in my opinion, this is the natural ability of women."
In the lobby, Russell first his face was stagnant, and then his eyes were angry: "Using this trick to divorce the emperor of Exeter? It really is the style of the empire of the stars-just with you without shame Like the murder of Prince Moral of our country!"
Thales’ heart jumped: Zheng Cai is here!
Hearing this, most of the stars and nobles in the hall showed unwillingness and anger!
But a few of them started to think deeply.
"The Duchess really reacted, she has already fought back before she knew it," Gilbert smiled approvingly when Thales hadn't reacted: "Your Highness, Lady Tebuck The Duke’s sword has already achieved results."
Thales turned to look at the graceful duchess.
Liana seemed to feel Thales’ gaze, she turned her head, her eyes pierced like a blade!
Thales was a sharp spirit, smiled quickly, and then pretended to scan around nonchalantly-it seemed that he had just inadvertently swept the Duchess.
Gilbert chuckled: "This is not a simple provocation, but to test out whether the will and purpose of King Nunn and Grand Duke Black Sand in this crisis are the same-this is very important !"
Thales’ eyebrows beat!
Gilbert said patiently: "And Russell hastily brought back to the topic, which is an answer-obviously he also knows that he can no longer be on the topic of the strong and weak between King Nunn and Grand Duke Black Sand Entangled."
"In the first round of the sword, he was already the one who was forced to play the sword first."
Thales suddenly realized, thinking of Gilbert’s previous inference in the carriage-the assassination of the Exeter Mission was also the will of some people in their own country, it seems...
Although there is no evidence.
But anyway...
At least in the eyes of many people, the dispute between the Great Duke of Black Sand and King Nunn is indeed not small.
Vision returned to the hall.
"We, murder your prince?" The one-eyed dragon of South Triest grinned: "Even if a fool can see, the assassination of your mission is a conspiracy to instigate the war between the two countries-Exter Do you like being used as a swordsman so much? Even my hounds are not obedient to you!"
"Star people, do you think we will care, are you innocents or messengers?" Russell slowly said.
"Since you are not interested in the truth-why are you still here? Just cut off a few heads on the street and hand them back to King Nunn?" Duke Jann of the South Bank sneered.
Hearing this, Russell's eyes were filled with anger and hatred. Under the gaze of the nobles in the hall, he took a step forward and held up the red dragon fire-painted scroll with his right hand!
Above the throne, King Kessel V clenched his hands, his jaw dropped slightly, his eyes gloomy and deep.
"No matter who murdered the prince in a despicable manner-we will smash him into pieces! Exter will show justice by himself and don't have to fake his hands!"
"But our prince! Exeter raised the king together, and the only son and heir of Duke Longxiaocheng! Died in the territory of your stars!"
Russell opened his arms, turned around abruptly, and fiery eyes swept across the lord, nobleman or official in every hall.
"His last blood fell on the land of the stars, the last breath was the air of the stars, and the last thing he saw was the scenery of the stars-he came to the stars with a benevolent mission, but you failed to protect him! "
"Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is your incompetence and connivance that killed him!"
"That's enough!"
"The stars must take responsibility and pay the price!"
Russell glared, and tore open the seal of the red dragon's lacquer---pulling the scroll abruptly!
"No matter Exeter and King Nunn, they must get an explanation from the stars!"
The six dukes frowned almost at the same time!
Thales’ pupils shrank, and there was no signature or seal on the bottom of the scroll filled with text.
All there is is a handprint.
bright red handprints.
Could it be the **** handprint of King Nunn?
The hall was suddenly in an uproar!
"He didn’t have a signature or a seal. I watched him with my own eyes, cut off my palm and pressed the palm print!"
"This is the anger and despair of King Nunn! Do you understand! Starman?"
Russell’s last words were almost spit out through gritted teeth.
The uproar in the hall began to slowly decrease.
Thales had only heard about the assassination of Exeter’s mission before. The strange king seemed to him to be painless—but now, he finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
Until the heavy voice of the Supreme King, it sounded again:
"I understand King Nunn's anger and despair-believe me, I have experienced that feeling-and the stars will never escape their responsibilities."
Kessel is indifferent.
Cycloste Korster clenched his back teeth imperceptibly.
King, this is-are you going to be soft?
How is possible? If you don't pay a sufficient price and cut a piece of meat from the north, how can the evil dragon in the north be satisfied?
If you are subdued, Kessel V will have a reputation for being weak and incompetent, but also destined to have a worse relationship with the northern border that is not harmonious.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the opposite Val Arund, but the opponent in the uniform just frowned and said nothing.
is like the calm before the eruption.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty," Russell lowered his hand and said coldly: "Yes, I remember it, you, hehe, of course you can understand what you said."
Many people have strange looks.
But Kessel ignored his hidden ridicule, and directly said: "Stop the nonsense—what are the conditions for King Nunn?"
Under everyone's complicated gaze, Russell gave a cold snort, reopened the scroll, and began to read.
"Exterior, from His Majesty Nunn to the nine grand princes, after learning of the tragedy, they endured terrible grief and despair with great reason and agreed that the stars must belong to Prince Morar. Unfortunately, take responsibility."
After saying this, Russell raised his head and looked around.
Until Kessel nodded slightly:
"It is reasonable. The noble Prince Moral has suffered misfortune in the country. It is a shame for all the stars."
Russell's cold eyes shrank slightly, then he lowered his head and continued to read.
"First, appease the dead. The stars must be returned in a complete, decent and honorable way to the remains of our envoys, especially the remains of Prince Morar."
"Second, justice is done. Help us find out and hand over the murderer and the planner behind the scenes."
Falkenhauser snorted: "Help them? God, it sounds like a call from a superior to a subordinate."
He complained, and said to Duke Cullen next to him.
But the latter, who was worried, just stared at Russell solemnly.
Exter's emergency envoy's words continue:
"Third, recast honor. Please, Your Majesty Kessel, personally issue a public apology to the Kingdom of Exeter."
Thales' brows twitched.
Gilbert's words reappeared in his forehead.
[Whether it is a war or peace, Your Majesty can't escape the cold-blooded, unsympathetic, or weak accusations that can bully and humiliate the stars. This will greatly impact your majesty and the star royal family's reputation and authority in the country. 】
But Russell’s indifferent and straightforward words continue:
"Fourth, compensation for losses. Regardless of land or resources, we must be compensated accordingly. Exeter should be compensated by the two northern border counties that are not less than the size of Songguo County. Either Xingchen East China Sea Territorial Whaling Industry’s high-quality Eternal Oil priority quota is 30%, or Xingchen South Bank’s first-level bitumen mine priority quota is 20%, one of the three."
"Fifth, to maintain fairness. Exeter and the stars must redact the "Fortress Peace Treaty", especially the unreasonable borders twelve years ago-Songguo County, Zaratan County, Revo County, Bear County and Luming County should return to Exeter unconditionally. The Earl of Overwatch should withdraw their reclamation team in the Northern Needle Forest, and the number of hunters and herders put into the Big Needle Forest every year should be equal to The neighbouring Black Sands led the Grand Duke after discussion and jointly decided that the Earl of Gu Laota should reclaim their scout patrol line for six miles, and no longer unreasonably block the Exterans from entering the public hunting area."
The needle fell silently in the hall and can be heard.
But Thales knew it was just appearance.
Russell lowered the scroll gently.
"The above is His Majesty Nunn and the conditions of the Kingdom of Exeter."
The terrible silence in the hall was finally broken.
"What **** are you doing!"
Count Zemuto couldn’t bear it anymore, he roared: “Watch City will not retreat even one step! And he will not give up Pinecone County and Bear County! Tell the black sand-collared bastard: Want us Bring your own troops to take it!"
Count Friesland coldly said: "The same is true in Luming County! Moreover, the Gu Lao Pagoda wants to patrol wherever it wants to patrol!"
But the Duke of the North, who has the most authority to speak, did not say a word at this moment, just looking at Kessel V.
The people in the hall with different looks all looked at the Supreme King.
"Nun, Nun," Kessel stared at the steps below his feet, his face flat, as if something trivial had happened: "Exter wanted to trade a dead prince in exchange for our Seven counties, too greedy."
Russell raised his head to stare at Kessel, and said without showing any weakness: "Exter has lost not only a prince, but also our glory!"
"He was so treated in good faith! Who will wash away Exter's shame? Who will calm the dragon's anger?"
"Furthermore, the stars! What you took away was a father's only son!" At this point, Russell gritted his teeth in resentment: "The only orthodox heir of King Nunn, visiting the stars with friendship and peace. Kingdom, but died in a despicable assassination!"
"King Nunn has lost his blood relatives, his only son, and his only heir! Exeter has lost the next Grand Duke of Dragon City, the hope of the Walton family for the future!"
In the end, Russell simply roared out:
"Under such a blow, King Nunn has not yet angered his teacher, but has put forward conditions-isn't this the most restrained and sensible choice?"
The hall was filled with the unwilling breath of the nobles.
and Kessel’s tone is still plain, but full of indisputable meaning: "The first three can satisfy you, and the fourth and fifth..."
The king’s voice was coldly spread in the hall: "The stars will not cede our land, nor are they ready to hand over the resource quota-if I say so, what are you going to do?"
Wall frowned slowly.
Duke Cullen sighed deeply, and Falkenhauser laughed ugly.
Leanna and Jane both pursed their lips and said nothing.
Thales lowered his head bitterly: Is war still inevitable?
"Hahahaha, Your Majesty Kessel," Russell grinned angrily: "When we came to Yongxing, we also brought the demands of King Nunn and the nine princes. King Eddie also refused Up to us."
"What happened then?" Russell spread his hands and looked around the hall.
Many of the older lords, nobles, and officials who were present, all expressed their expressions tense.
"Yes, we sent troops'generously'."
"For what it should be," Baron Russell breathed harder, his face getting colder, gritted his teeth:
"The dragon will take it by itself."
The people in the large chamber began to ponder the consequences of this sentence.
Twelve years ago, the wars and disasters that affected most of the stars are still vividly visible.
"If justice cannot be done, fairness will be in the dust."
Russell raised his right hand with a sense of oppression, and then slowly squeezed: "Of course Exter can only choose to use war to safeguard our honor and dignity."
He only heard him threaten every word:
"At that time, it wasn't just a few counties, or some eternal oil can solve the problem."
"Enough!"
Kessel seems to be full of meaning and authenticity:
"In the eyes of you, King Nunn, between the stars and the dragon, is there no other way to resolve this matter decently?"
"That's what you want to see, are the subjects of the two countries bleeding on the border?"
"It depends on you, your majesty, whether it is war or peace," Russell responded quickly: "Will you be patient and compassionate to your subjects, or go to war at all costs?"
He coldly glanced at the stars, especially Count Zemuto, and laughed ironically: "Especially, your northern border, even in front of the army of Duke Black Sand, guards the Broken Dragon Fortress. When there are not enough troops."
The Duke of the North clenched his fists.
"In the Scarlet Years, the North faced Exeter's most powerful front, and the wounds were huge, second only to the southwestern blade leader," Gilbert sighed in Thales' ears. : "There was a time when there were more widows than children in the north."
"Should I make such a dilemma?" Kessel snorted coldly, "Why don't you just let the stars change to a king!"
"Your Majesty, you are the supreme king of the stars, and you are destined to take this responsibility." Russell raised his head and smiled softly:
"If you can't do it, just as you said-among the nobles in the hall, a more responsible person will lead the stars, and Exter will be happy to see it."
There is a commotion in the whole meeting hall!
Many people yelled!
But Exeter’s emergency envoy has not finished speaking yet!
"Anyway," Russell said viciously, "The next king of the stars is destined to no longer be named Canxing, right?"
Many nobles looked at Kessel with weird faces, and more looked at Thales.
This envoy, don’t you know that the country is a conference?
Thales’ brain suddenly thumped!
Sure enough, the mission was assassinated, the lord forced the palace, and the dragon came—all these are connected. If you don’t appear, this is a carefully planned series. As Gilbert said, in the stars and Exeter's mutual understanding, under mutual understanding, intends to belong to the throne of stars after the iron-fisted king.
But Kessel, his father, why did he bring the topic here?
And the words in his ear made Thales' heart beat:
"So, Exter, or the nobles of Exter," In the amazement of the people in the hall, Kessel raised his head and looked at Russell coldly: "More interested A certain star noble, come to be the supreme king of the stars?"
"With all due respect," Russell smiled contemptuously: "No one of you here meets our expectations."
"The Exter people only admire the heroes on the battlefield-even our enemies."
"Can any of you meet such conditions?"
"Yes, my vassals are either too far away or unwilling to send troops," Kessel sighed inexplicably: "The one who can gain prestige and recognition on the battlefield..."
"The only one left who has to fight for his own territory, isn't it?"
The entire hall, the king's inexplicable words, suddenly fell silent.
Russell realized something, he looked at someone, and gradually became confused.
is wrong.
King Kessel...
He is...
When everyone didn't know why, the chubby Duke Cullen realized something, and he sighed deeply ~IndoMTL.com~ also looked at the man, showing his face full of pain.
Thales’ surprised gaze, Gilbert let out a whisper, but then gritted his teeth and sighed.
Amidst the confusion and surprise in the hall, King Kessel V took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said:
"That's it."
The king said silently:
"From colluding with Exter’s careerists, assassinating the mission and inciting conflict."
"To tell me the possibility of war, I propose to issue a general edict."
"The lords who are instigating the eagerness, forcing me to appoint an heir, and watch our internal struggles coldly."
"Until this Exeter envoy forced me into a dilemma, no matter which step I took, it was the biggest blow to me."
"Finally, you who succeeded in provoking a war and trespassing with Exter, of course can easily gain a reputation on the battlefield and force me to abdicate."
"For this, I even sacrificed my own land, my own people, and my own country."
"Really, betrayer."
The words of the Supreme King are more frightening than one sentence.
Thales listened to all this, breathing faster.
I saw the King of Iron Fist, Kessel V opened his eyes lonely, looked to the side of the hall, and was silent for a long time.
The king’s eyes are all gloomy at the moment:
"It's you."
He said slowly:
"The mastermind of all conspiracies."
The king spit out a name that no one expected in a deep and muddy voice:
