Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 39: Born for the stars
This stone room is so big that it is full of more than two dozen huge stone pillars and it still looks spacious.
but there are no windows, only a few large black holes in the ceiling, right as vents.
It was terribly cold.
Thales stared at him blankly.
A sturdy figure, dressed in a star-blue cloak, stood with his back facing him in front of a stone pillar.
The side of the stone pillar facing the sturdy figure was dug into a grotto.
, there are two large stone jars side by side and six small stone urns.
"Your grandfather is buried here, Eddie Canxing." A heavy and majestic voice came from the figure.
"To be honest, I don't like to be in the same room with him. His eyes are always full of disappointment and accusations. After my mother passed away, I was even more able to hide from him."
Thales is neither unfamiliar nor familiar with this voice.
"Come here."
Thales took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.
He walked to his nominal father, the Highest King of the Stars, His Majesty Kessel Canxing.
King of Iron Wrists, Kessel V wears a nine-star crown, holds an inextinguishable lamp in his right hand, and tightly holds a crystal-encrusted scepter with a shiny tip in his left hand.
He turned his head and glanced at Thales.
This sharp look made Thales breathless.
"Since the second king, John I, the supreme king and queen of every star will be buried in this stone chamber after death and cremation." Kessel's voice appeared extremely low.
as if afraid of waking up.
Kessel reached out and put on the large stone jar on the left, with a name engraved on it:
[King of Changzhi, King, Eddie·K·Canxing, 595-660]
Kessel looked at the second large stone pot on the right, with another name on it.
"This is my mother—she died when I was fifteen."
[Queen, Natalie·J·F·Canxing, 604-642]
He, His Majesty the Supreme King has touched those little stone urns again, with a complicated expression.
"And the children of the kings who failed to inherit the throne and have not changed their surnames, are in these small stone urns."
Thales was startled, he turned his head slightly, not surprisingly, saw that each stone pillar had a grotto on all four sides, each with two large stone pots, and occasionally a few small stone urns appeared next to it. .
This is the royal family—cemetery?
Kessel lowered his head, looked at a small stone urn, and Thales followed.
[Star War God, Sodara Liberator, Duke of Star Lake, John L.K. Star, 613-660]
"This is Uncle John, the only person in the family who has traveled the world."
"He is his father's younger brother, almost raised by his mother-so I insisted on putting him in his father's grotto."
Kessel touched the stone urn, his face showed—Tyles was surprised to see—smiling?
"He is very knowledgeable, skilled, humorous, and unparalleled in his jokes."
" When he was a kid, when he came back, my twin brother and I liked to pester him the most, listening to him talk about his love story with Princess Su Ye-until my mother pierced him with a cold face, at that time, I thought he was the world The most powerful person in the world."
" John’s marriage almost didn’t make his father angry—God, he actually married an extreme female knight! During the wedding, I think John should have done it with his feet off the ground. "
"After John was knighted, he would often return to the king's capital to visit us, and from time to time he would give Little Constantine a small gift. But since his wife passed away, I rarely saw John's smile."
Thales felt the atmosphere in the stone chamber, and did not dare to take a mouthful of the atmosphere.
Kessel was immersed in the past, turning his head a minute later.
"This is brother Midil." Kessel looked at the other stone urn, frowning his eyebrows: "The one who should have inherited the throne."
Thales heard the familiar name, and quickly looked at the stone urn:
[Wang's eldest son, the crown-prince, Midiel·T·E·Canxing, 622-660]
"He has the best relationship with his father. He is the only person who can match his father when playing against him. He doesn't talk much, always smiling and watching our brother fight. He is very smart and very popular, everyone They say that he is the best crown prince and the best brother to me."
"But when I was sixteen, when I came back from the maid’s room in the middle of the night, I accidentally saw him sitting in the atrium decadently, drinking alone with a sad expression on his face. At that time, I only felt strange. He was also depressed? "
"Now I finally understand him."
Thales looked at the stone urn, thinking about the rumor of Midil Canxing.
This is Gini’s rescuer, Gilbert’s admirer, what Yodel wanted me to be, the "better than him" person?
Next stone urn.
[Sword of Tracing Light, Second Prince, Horace·M·E·Can Star, 623-660]
"This is Horace, and the highest sword speed record of his school days is still kept in the Tower of End-as far as I heard last time, no one has broken it yet."
Kaiser flicked the stone urn and snorted: "He is the only extreme master in the family, and even has a majestic nickname. Father often sighed, since the "Oathkeeper" Midiel IV After the world and the'enemy of the wolf' Prince Keira, the star royal family finally has the third extreme state."
"He has a very bad relationship with his brother Midil. When playing chess with Midil, he always likes to play the opponent's pieces in the dark with the power of ending-but even then he can't play the smiling Midi Brother Er. He often tells us that if he was not born a year later than Midiel, he should be the crown-prince."
"One month before his death, he received an invitation from the inheritors of the Tower of End. If he passes, he will become one of the eight inheritors of the Tower of End."
"This is Bancroft and Hyman, my twin brothers." Kessel looked at the two stone urns placed side by side, with complicated eyes: "It is said that the careless maid confuses the birth order. The father couldn't stand the quarrel between the two doctors about which baby had the bigger head, so the mother simply threw a gold coin and used the head of Tormund I to decide that Bancroft was the third prince and Hyman was fourth. "
"The gold coin is now placed with Midiel’s first political assignment with full marks, Horace’s first swordsman trophy, and the baby cloth from Constance when I was born. In the stone jar."
Thales took a step closer and saw the two small stone urns clearly.
[The Third Prince, Bancroft·N·E·Can Star, 624-660]
[The Fourth Prince, Hyman·N·E·Can Star, 624-660]
" At the table when they were young, the endless and endless quarrels between them were simply a nightmare for our whole family-Midil joked that Horace was probably scared to the end by them. Tower to learn art."
" Bancroft likes painting and sculpture. Half of the funds of the National Academy of Arts and Culture are donated by him. However, his love for vanity is not bad, probably second only to his love for money— —When we were young, we used to say that he should marry Shukader's house, and the dowry alone would be enough for him to eat for a lifetime. As a result, when he went to the Southern Islands, he used a sketch to propose marriage and really married a Miss Shukader back."
" And Hyman is the handsomest among the five brothers, he is good at piano music, and good at writing poetry. Both commoners and noble girls like him more. Every time they go to the street, they will attract screams and flowers. For that reason In this way, my father appointed him as the first leader of the kingdom of the sacred tree as the envoy of the stars-unfortunately he failed to marry an elf back-otherwise my father might pass on the throne to him to strengthen us since Midil IV The blood of the elves."
Kessel held his scepter and looked at the fire in the eternal lamp.
"Our five brothers used to be so good—I still remember being in the palace when I was a child, fighting with the three princes who visited from the Suye Dynasty, Horace was in charge of offense, and Midiel was in defense, mainly protecting me, the twins The flanks are roundabout."
"But when I grew up, everything changed."
"Midil still has a smile on his face. I have the best relationship with him, but he always feels less and less happy. Horace is murderous after returning from the Tower of End, always wanting to show his father. , I still remember that he took me to Red Square Street and scolded for five minutes at the Imperial Conference. Bank didn’t care much about the brothers’ affairs, but he would walk around every time he saw the four of us. Heyman posted By Horace’s side, it’s like a little follower, but that smile really makes me sick."
But Kessel's smile stagnated.
"But those are not important anymore."
"Now, they are reunited here."
Kessel walked to the last small urn.
Thales lowered his head and gently squeezed his fist.
[Wang's eldest daughter, Constance·N·E·Canxing, 642-660]
"This is Constance, our little sister." Kessel lowered her head, her voice heavy, as if she didn't want to say more: "She is the only consensus of our five brothers-we are willing to sacrifice everything to protect her Happiness and smile."
Thales sighed, he closed his eyes lightly, and imagined the aunt of the eldest princess who had died at the age of 18.
"The Canstar family was born with the destiny of the stars." Kessel said flatly.
Thales opened his eyes, listening to Kessel's heavy breathing, thinking about the king's purpose for doing this today.
The two were silent in the empty stone room for a while.
"咚"!
The king suddenly placed his scepter heavily on the ground!
Thales was taken aback.
"I don't know how much you know about us, or what kind of imagination you have about the name of the star." Kessel V's voice was low and stern, but he didn't have half of his father's feelings.
"But that is by no means an easy title."
"It represents glory, history, power, and more importantly, sacrifice."
Thales was speechless, he didn't know what to reply.
seems to say nothing wrong.
"Are you ready?" Kessel finally turned his head, his sky blue pupils were sharp and oppressive, staring straight at him.
"Starting from being named the star, fighting for the stars, dying for the stars, and..."
Kessel looked at the six small stone urns, his eyes darkened:
"Born for the stars."
Thales' breathing was stagnant, and then he got up quickly.
Fight for the stars.
die for the stars.
Born for the stars?
This order......
Thales thought nervously: So, being a star and being alive is far more difficult than fighting and dying?
His Majesty the King's eyes fixed on him.
"I'm waiting for your answer." The king slowly said every word.
is beyond doubt and cannot be disobeyed.
Thales swallowed.
He can't stand the current atmosphere a bit, the traveler grinned reluctantly, and said:
"Screaming to die for a certain country, it sounds like a war."
But Kessel still stared at him.
Okay.
Thales took three deep breaths, opened his eyes, and said in a low voice:
"No."
Kessel's brows gathered slightly.
"Before I left Red Square Street, everything I did was to struggle and survive in this **** world." The traveler said disappointedly.
"I never thought about all this before me, the royal family, the conspiracy, the heirs, everything." He said sincerely: "I'm not ready to play these games at all, but I can still talk and laugh freely."
"I’m more used to dilapidated houses, hard beds, cold and hungry curled up in the corners, working hard for myself and my friends, rather than in a luxurious room, drinking and eating without changing my face Weave conspiracies, deprive lives, and... initiate or respond to war."
"I'm not ready to become Thales Canstar." The traveler exhaled and lowered his head: "Everything is accidental. I am not ready for anything."
In front of his eyes, Ashida's figure seemed to reappear, and smiled at him, yes, this is accidental.
was silent for a long time.
Kessel looked at Thales, but the king, who was originally majestic and unkind, suddenly showed a complex and profound expression that a traverser had never seen before.
"Work hard for myself and for the survival of friends-this is probably the whole mission of Canstar."
"It's okay."
There seems to be an emotional flow in the eyes of the king, and he slowly said: "I was not ready then."
Thales looked up in surprise, and saw that Kessel V, with sarcasm and hatred, used a dynamic voice, saying every word:
"And destiny will help you prepare."
He flicked his cloak and took a big step.
Thales followed Kessel to the side of the stone pillar.
It was also a grotto, but it was empty, without a large stone jar.
there are only two small stone urns.
"This will be my burial place," Kessel bent down blankly, stroked the two stone urns, and said calmly:
"There are already two stone urns."
Thales’ brain stopped for a few tenths of a second.
He remembered Gilbert's words about the Scarlet Year, and looked at the two little stone urns:
[Wang's eldest daughter, Lydia·G·K·Canxing, 656-660]
"Remember when Lydia was born, I held her in my arms and was more at a loss than her. When she grew up a little bit, she ran around and never calmed down."
[Wang's eldest son, Luther K.K. Canxing, 659-660]
Kessel put down the unextinguishable light and hid the expression in his eyes in the shadows, only his lips moved, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Luther is very good, and very quiet, he never cries— This is terrible~IndoMTL.com~ because we don’t know when he is hungry."
"These two children have always worried Ke Ya and Ji Ni-I always have fun."
The Supreme King of the stars took Thales' shoulders.
Thales was taken aback.
"Fortunately," Kessel said coldly: "They don't have to worry about the children anymore."
Thales listened horribly as Kessel finished:
"Because they will always be here."
"Don't cry or run around."
"Always."
The king's hand suddenly pressed hard, clasping Thales' shoulders.
The unhealed left shoulder was still in pain, but Thales resisted and said nothing.
"Look, this is what fate prepares for me."
Looking at the two small stone urns, Thales gritted his teeth and gently squeezed his fists.
This is—my sister and brother?
At this moment, a long and heavy bell suddenly sounded outside the stone room where the star kings were buried.
"Go." His Majesty Kessel Canxing released Thales.
"Gilbert and Gini are waiting for you outside the door," the king stood up, restored his majesty and oppression, his face was cold and cold: "They will prepare everything for you."
"Just like destiny, everything is already prepared for you."
