CHAPTER XXXVI
The eldest prince, Bron Catut, was an unapologetic candidate for crown prince in every way, brave, calm, extremely self-disciplined, shrewd and capable, and he could not pose a threat to other princes, including Bai Xuan.
The fifth prince, Monge, was extremely gifted in military affairs, and had been commanding the garrison of the royal capital under the permission of His Majesty the King, stationed in Silver Leaf City. Silver Leaf City and Brilliant Fortress are the two major satellite cities of the royal capital, one east and one west arch to defend the royal capital Dark Hui said, the three become horns, and they can help each other in wartime.
Monge has a deep relationship with Bron and is a staunch supporter of Bronn, he does not like politics, and even if he has the strength, it is unlikely that he will compete with Broon for the throne.
The only one who can compete with Bron is the Nine Princes, who are currently supported by Quint, but this Nine Princes are also wonderful people, both ambitious and afraid of Bron, so his attitude is ambiguous and does not show any excessive behavior.
As for Bai Xuan, he originally didn't pose a threat to anyone.
But this letter pushed him directly down the crater.
"Bronn said that he got some news from the palace, about me. Bai Xuan looked at the few people next to the table, "His Majesty intends for me to inherit the throne." ”
No one would have expected such an explosive news, and both Kareth and Winter Thunder were stunned, only the Falling Spirit, who didn't know much about the chalk political situation, didn't react so strongly, but she was also a little surprised.
"Your Highness, I heard you right, right?" Dong Lei swallowed with difficulty, "Let you ...... Succession to the throne?"
"Your Highness, with all due respect......" Kareth clenched his fists, but he couldn't say any more.
"It's okay, you say. Bai Xuan smiled slightly, "You all know that I never wanted to fight for the throne, and this letter can't change my mind." ”
"I think there's something weird about it, maybe it's a conspiracy. Kareth still said it, he was a little uneasy in his heart, if his highness is gradually showing his strength now, maybe he really has the strength to fight.
If he were to persuade His Highness to give up this idea, would he dislike His Highness?, but integrity and loyalty made him have to speak.
"I think so too. Bai Xuan said, "You don't have to worry that I will be interested in the throne, staying away from the royal capital proves my attitude, I will fully support Bron, I will say so in the reply." ”
"His Royal Highness the Great Prince is in ...... Remind you?" said Winter Thunder cautiously
"You want to test me, right?" Bai Xuan glanced at the fat man, "Just say it, I won't blame you, I don't think it's a temptation, it's really a reminder." ”
This makes sense, because Bloom doesn't know the changes that have taken place in him, and he doesn't see him as a potential threat at all, and the meaning expressed between the lines of this letter is a kind reminder that Bloom still cares about this youngest brother.
"In any case, since the news is from the palace, it is always ......," Dong Lei thought for a moment, "You have to be careful." ”
"It's just gossip, and it's not a decree issued by His Majesty Father, so don't worry about it for the time being. ”
Although he said that, Bai Xuan knew that things were not so simple.
Regardless of whether the news is true or not, and how it came out, there is always its intention in it, and it is extremely scary to think about it.
Fake nature doesn't need to be ignored, everyone thinks so.
If it's true, Quint may attack himself to prevent future troubles, and it just so happens that Ember City is a good place to start, and it is normal to die in the Black Curse Forest, and even a clue cannot be found.
That's probably the purpose of this letter, to remind him to save his life.
So how did the news come out?
"Your Highness, I will arrange all the guards around the castle to be on guard around the clock, and for safety reasons, I suggest that you do not plan to go to the Black Curse Forest for the time being. Kareth looked serious.
"Just do as you say. Bai Xuan nodded, he was not afraid of it, but because of this manpower plus Paul's mercenaries, it was a fool's dream to go to the Black Curse Forest to hunt the Rift Beast, and it would be difficult to deal with the fierce beasts.
Luoshen looked over, her jade-like pointed ears trembled slightly, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly remembered her duty, and she still needed to protect him.
For no reason, she felt a little pleased, and she didn't know why a woman protecting a big man would have such a feeling, so strange.
Because of this bombshell rumor, the dinner then became very dull, and it ended in a hurry, Bai Xuan sat at the desk for a long time before picking up the pen and starting to write a reply, no matter what, there was one thing that had to be conveyed to Bron.
He will definitely not compete for the throne and will support Bron unconditionally.
Not only for self-preservation, but most importantly for the fact that he really has no interest in the throne or anything.
Early the next morning, he summoned a messenger, sealed the reply with his own hands with fire paint wax, and gave it to the messenger to leave for the royal capital to return to the king's capital immediately, and then called Kares.
"Your Highness, I see the Messenger. "The Templar had clearly not slept well, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Yes, I have already written back to express my attitude, so don't worry. ”
"Your Highness......" Kareth hesitated, "Actually, you...... Well, I'm trying to say that whatever decision you make, I'll defend you to the death. ”
Bai Xuan was slightly stunned, he looked at Carres, and the warmth in his heart melted.
"Carres, I see, I'm glad you think so, but I'll give it my full back. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
"Send these drawings to the silversmith's shop and give them to the silvermane master. ”
Carres retreated.
Continue to eat with the gods while instilling the story of a delicious breakfast.
"There's a food called fritters, which are made of flour and need to be fried. It is a perfect match with soy milk, tofu brain, and spicy soup......"
"Hmm. ”
"There's also a pancake, I'll tell you......"
"When will I be able to eat it?"
Luoshen suddenly put down his knife and fork, and looked at Bai Xuan with big eyes flickering, and his long eyelashes seemed to have electric sparks.
"Uh, that, I'll tell the chef......" Bai Xuan looked at her in a daze.
It's really, so pretty.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
A figure suddenly broke in in a hurry, and the peculiar shape startled Bai Xuan.
"Your Highness, I can't do it today, I haven't finished it yet, tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely succeed. Master Thomas, with his hair like a chicken coop, said as he spun in circles.
"Yes, I thought of another way to succeed tomorrow, and that's it. Master Thomas said to himself, rubbing his face with his hand and wiping away something like black soot.
"Master?"
"That's it. Master Thomas didn't look back, and walked away.
Leaving Bai Xuan messy in place.
The morning's events were one after another, and as soon as he had finished discussing a new plan for the construction of the city wall with Winter Thunder, Kareth walked in again.
"Your Highness, Master Silvermane said that there is no time, he is going back to Que Crack City, and the blacksmith shop has no time for the time being......"
"Huh?"
So he sent a few dwarven craftsmen to stay in the castle. Kareth stepped aside, revealing a brown-haired dwarf behind him.
The latter was holding a hat in his hand, shaking his beard, and looking at Bai Xuan curiously.
