Prologue: The Fall of the King
Dinot: "Lord Carmon, are you sure you want this?" asked the Chief of Police of Rosafern earnestly. "This is my only chance, to save this declining family, I have to abandon my current identity to save the whole city. Carmon replied to the director's question in a firm tone
Dinot: "Since this is your will, then—" The Director hesitated, he did not dare to say what to say next. Carmon patted the chief on the shoulder and gave him encouragement, and Dinott finally relented. "Lord Carmon, I hereby issue a warrant for your arrest, for the crime, for treason!, for the sentence, for the death penalty!". Hearing this, a smile spread across the corners of Kamon's mouth.
Why would a man who had committed treason appear in front of the chief of police, without fear of his treason, and encourage him to convict himself?
Carmon Zagolo, the third heir of the Zagoro family, is the best among the five eldest sons of the Zagoro family, because the family ancestors have made outstanding contributions to the 'Kramer Empire', so the adult male from the Zagoro family will be awarded the title of 'baron' at the age of 20, and the 32-year-old Carmon has already become one of the rightful 'counts', with a higher status than the other four eldest sons.
However, this achievement did not make Carmon famous, but the whole family was prone to scandals, and the family's reputation plummeted, because the other four eldest sons were extremely corrupt and degenerate, resulting in the five eldest sons who originally lived in Zagoro Castle could only live in various corners of the city of Rosafern and live an ordinary life.
Although as a descendant family, even if the Zagoro family is degenerate, it is impossible to be relegated to a second-tier city, but the achievements of the Zagoro family only stop at their grandparents, so the Council of Leaders of the Kramer Empire has long left them alone, and will only give them the name they inherited, and will not give any support.
The original city of Rosafern was supposed to be a first-tier city, but the city was full of decay, with ruffians, social scumbags, and underworld forces all gathered in this city, like the four eldest sons of the Zagoro family, the city was like the place where they belonged, the same decay.
Violence and imposing taxes are a common occurrence in the city, and people can only swallow their anger and live in such a depressing environment.
What about the police? What about the city managers? Will they not care about the violence? The answer is yes, they don't care.
It's not that I don't care, but I don't dare to care. Because a large number of criminal records were committed by the 'Ripland Group' or its gang members, the Ripland Group, as the largest group in Rosafern, can be said to have their footsteps in 75% of the industrial chain, and they are also the largest scientific research companies and experimental companies. Although the population of the entire city is 4 million, there are 500,000 people working for the Ripland Group, and the mayor and the people at the police station add up to only 3,000 people.
On October 26, 1410, at 7 p.m., Carmon went to the mall of 'Igmiro' and went to the casino to find his eldest brother, 'Lothar Zagolo', the first heir of the Zagoro group.
"Big brother, what's going on today?" asked Camon as he walked over to Lothar's side and patted Lothar on the shoulder. Lothar was staring at the table with all his attention, expecting to make a big profit, and didn't even notice anyone approaching him, but Carmon's greeting startled Lothar, and when he turned his head, he found that his 'bet' had been 'eaten'.
"Alas, it's all your fault, and you've lost it all again. Lothar said dejectedly, "What's the matter with me, third brother?"
"It's a letter from the family, and my father wants to know how we're doing. "Carmon took Lothar aside and showed him a letter from their father at Zagoro Castle, who was trying to restore the Zagoro family's reputation within the Empire, but he also wanted to know that he had sent the five to this." The reason why the letter was only sent to Carmon was because the father knew that except for Carmon, the other four children would definitely not read the letter, let alone ask about the situation of others, and only Carmon, a sensible child, would take care of it and see his own brothers.
"Really, my father is too much to manage, you just reply to him casually, just perfunctory, I have to continue to go back, revive my 'heroism', today I must win back what I lost, even with interest. ”
Lothar patted Carmon's arm, and after saying this, he turned around and continued back to the game, Carmon could only sigh helplessly and leave towards the door.
This was not the first family member he was looking for, Lothar was the last, and Carmon was looking for his fourth brother 'Anx Zagolo' who was drunk in a bar, then his second brother 'Kuhn Zagolo' who was addicted to women in a nightclub, and then his fifth brother 'Prisin Zagolo' who was making false advertisements in the bazaar.
Like the big brother 'Lothar', who has a bit of a violent tendency, 'Anks' was drunk, arrogantly talking about his deeds and identity in the bar, very restless, and after Camon came, he only relieved 'Anks'' excitement a little, and after he turned around and walked to the door, he heard 'Anks' say crazy things again.
'Kuhn' was much quieter than ever, but he didn't pay much attention to Carmon, and more often sat on the couch, teasing the two in his arms. Although the surroundings of the 'Prissing' side were quiet, Prisin himself was a chatterbox, and Carmon couldn't stand Prisin, so he simply asked and left.
Four brothers, the same depravity, none of them could talk to each other, so Carmon could only go to a quiet café, order a cup of coffee, sit down in his seat, take out the paper and pen he had with him, and prepare to write a letter in reply to his father.
But halfway through writing, he heard a couple of young people at the next table talking about themselves in whispers.
"My dear, look at that person, is he from the Zagoro family?" "Yo, isn't it, from the outside, he should be the third son who is okay." "He looks polite and well-dressed, and he really looks like an earl." "What's the use of cutting, like that? It's not a person who comes out of a garbage heap. An air-dried apple, in a pile of rotten apples, certainly looks decent, but what is the use. "Shhhh ”
Although they were only whispering, Carmon remembered all the heart-piercing words in his head, but he couldn't refute it, after all, what they said was the truth. With a heavy heart, after writing the reply letter and drinking the coffee, Carmon left, and after sending the letter, he walked towards his house on Wangtai Road, Yongning Road.
"Excuse me, are you Lord Carmon?", just as he reached the corner of Lookout Road, Carmon suddenly heard a person calling his name around the corner.
