"King of Meinster, Count of the Empire, Alexander. St. Karen. Dominis. Lord Mainster has arrived! ”

As I frowned at the long, smelly chants of the doorman, muttering how I had come up with this long list of surnames to beg for my misery, I was greeted by the glamorous extravagance that I was most uncomfortable with, accompanied by Casta, who had become my personal bodyguard, as I walked through the beautiful buildings of the Princess's Mansion and into the splendid and vast halls.

"Alec, I've finally seen you! I haven't slept soundly for more than three years since you disappeared, and I worry about you every day, but I'm sure you're still alive and happy somewhere in the world! Now that I see that you are safe and sound, the stone hanging in my heart can finally be put down! In the past three years, you have traveled all over the world, and you must have gained a lot, and your achievements are extraordinary, I am very grateful! ”

LIN Kai. Beshatu said eagerly, with a sincere smile on his face, but there was an unfathomable depth of coldness in his eyes. The three years have not left too many traces on Lin Kai's face, but his face is slightly thin, his hair is no longer dark and shiny, a few strands of silver have been added, and his mane has begun to turn white, which should be the testimony of his heavy consumption of mental energy in the struggle of the court.

It is believed that Beshatu's psychology at this time is complicated, his former uneducated son not only did not die under his own conspiracy, but instead became a strong man on the Holy Continent and achieved extraordinary careers, whether it was the king of Meinster or the imperial earl, he was much more respected than him, the imperial colt who only had the title of viscount. At this point, Lin Kai, who is in the prime of life. Beshatu is probably hard to accept.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Viscount, for your concern, I will thank Dade for your concern. If you are lucky enough to be alive, you will not die, and most of the things in the world are not as good as they should be. I am very pleased to see that His Excellency the Viscount is in good health and in good health. The excitement and heat that inexplicably rose in my heart gradually condensed with the speed of my tablet's speech, and only insincere echoes and politeness remained in my flat voice.

LIN Kai. Beshatu was a little puzzled by the words that seemed to be out of bounds, and as if they were hiding a blade, so he had to say, "Come in and meet your Aunt Etiria, she will miss you!" ”

I nodded, and entered under his guidance, but thought to myself: If there is one woman in the world that I least want her to remember me, it is Etiria. Let such a woman babble, but she will have nightmares......

Arriving at the private reception room of the princess's mansion, Beishatu said, "Your Aunt Etiria has something to say to you alone. ”

"Won't Your Excellency the Viscount come in with you?" I will be alone not with Béshatu, but with Ettiria—I am a little surprised by this arrangement.

"No...... There are some things that it would be more convenient for her to explain to you...... Alex...... I ......" Beshatu stopped talking, and the gaze that looked at me was a deep emotion.

I nodded, gave Kasta an unobtrusive look, and Beshatu led him back.

So I met Attiria. Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess of Faratis.

Etiria is now Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the mature and brilliant age of women, her plump and tall figure has not been deformed due to postpartum, not only maintained well, but also more sultry, but the smile on her face cannot eliminate the noble and cold aura on her body. But the power-filled eyes and the plump and concave mature flesh set off by the tight royal evening dress constitute a fatal allure, enough to make most men in the world sink themselves in the obsession of sensuality and power.

It's just that this femme fatale can't arouse any interest in me, and falling asleep with such a body is like sleeping with a poisonous snake, making my dreams and reality nightmares.

"Alec has seen Her Royal Highness!" I saluted Attiriah.

"Your Excellency Count Alexander, you have grown up! Now you are a beautiful man who stands up to the sky, and I believe that there are many women in the imperial capital who fall in love with you. ”

Attiria looked at me with strange eyes, wondering how her former stepson had become the man he is today. Her low and magnetic sexy voice, cold appearance, hot body and the status given by her high position of power are the reasons why she is one of the top ten beauties in the imperial capital. She is the kind of woman who makes men love and fear, itch and resist.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is also becoming more mature and beautiful, I feel sorry for her." I also looked unscrupulously at the beautiful woman in front of me, who was as beautiful as a flower and as cold as a knife.

The presumptuous gaze, the provocative words, and the perverse and unorthodox behavior made Ettiria's eyes cold, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but then she flushed for no reason.

"Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words and deeds! Your status is not the same as before, you must know the etiquette of the occasion, and my identity does not allow you to be contemptuous, please don't say something that makes others misunderstand! ”

"Oh," I replied lazily, "in what capacity did Her Highness teach me?" I've had a long habit of debauchery, and I can't get rid of it if I want to. Her Royal Highness the Princess met me alone, and the dark room coexisted, it was a mistake, it was difficult not to make me feel sorry for me, and it was inevitable that people would be criticized, didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess be mentally prepared? ”

"I'm giving you advice as an elder." Ettiria's face was grim, not wanting to entangle with me anymore, "I have made an appointment with you to talk to you on business. ”

"Elders? What a strange word! As for getting down to business...... I'm not interested in getting down to business. I whispered.

"You...... Did you get to where you are today? Ettiria said angrily.

I tilted my head, thought for a moment, and replied, "Probably yes." ”

"Are the people of Meinster blind? Would you make a ridiculous kid like you their king? "Ettiria was of noble birth, and had never dealt with a man of such a scoundrel as me, and her emotions could not help but fluctuate, and she could not help but speak mockingly to me.

I found a chair and sat down, leaned back in it, took a comfortable position, squinted at Etiria, and said, "My Royal Highness Princess Etiria, don't you understand?" I am only a nominal king, with neither real power nor prestige, and it is not my turn to be in charge of marching and fighting, and there is someone else who presides over the overall situation. It's not -- everything would work without me, without me. ”

Ettiria had an expression of disbelief on her face, but she couldn't help but think about the possibility of my words from my oily and smooth expression, and sneered: "Maybe you are just a puppet, but you are also a good life!" Not only are your people blind, but even General Leigh is blind, and he will take a fancy to people like you! I suspect General Leigh is just joking around with you. ”

"I was originally destined for a good life, and I have my own confidant*, and now even Her Royal Highness the princess has taken a fancy to me and asked me to meet alone. Men and women love, pay attention to your love and my willingness, and there is nothing wrong with having fun. I laughed.

Ettiria couldn't stand my evil appearance, so she had to ignore my words, deliberately ignore my ambiguous words, calm down her emotions, and said solemnly: "I asked you to talk about important matters, have you forgotten the purpose of your own entry into the capital?" I sincerely want to cooperate with you. ”

"I think what we're talking about is the most important thing." I muttered, "Is there anything more important and interesting to men than to talk about women?" ”

"Alex, you're so presumptuous!" Seeing my gesture, Ettiria was so angry that she couldn't speak to me calmly.

"Oh? Do I have one? I listened very carefully to Her Royal Highness's teachings on women. I feigned stunned.

"You ......"

When Ettiria was angry and in chaos, I suddenly looked solemn and said coldly: "If you want to talk about business, I will talk to Her Royal Highness the princess." I came to the emperor to fight for my woman, this is a fact that everyone in the empire knows. You want to cooperate with me, what capital do you have to talk to me about cooperation? How do you gain my trust? I can't help but be careful, although I am a womanizer, but I am not stupid! ”

Etiria was a little surprised by the sudden change in my attitude, and suddenly felt that I could not understand my unpredictable temperament, and found that the handsome man in front of her, who could be called a junior, was beyond her control in many aspects, and she could not help but feel a certain sense of powerlessness, but seeing that I was willing to talk about business, she temporarily put aside the strange feeling in her heart, and said happily: "Your Excellency, you have a lot of resentment and misunderstanding between you in the past, so I do not blame you for being rude and wary of us. In the past, we felt a lot of guilt for you, and your father and I were always in pain, especially your father, who was tormented by his conscience all the time. He doesn't even have the courage to face you alone now, that's why I'm here to talk to you. ”

"Did you have any other secrets about what I did at the time?" I asked, slightly startled.

"At that time, you were still young, and you could only see your father's ruthlessness, but you could not see the helplessness behind my ruthlessness with your father, there are some things that you could not have imagined, and even if I say it now, you may not believe it...... At that time, it was not my father and I who were determined to put you to death, the so-called tiger poison does not eat children, imagine it, how could your father be so ruthless in murdering his own flesh and blood? And I have no enmity with you, and I also regard you as a parent, so I can't have the intention of harming you. "Ettiria's gaze at me became soft and affectionate, with a certain sad expression on her face, which glowed with maternal radiance.

"Whose idea was that? Who is determined to get rid of me soon? I asked eagerly, a shaken expression on my face that had always held on my convictions.

Ettiria sighed faintly and replied, "My father, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Empire. ”

"Actually...... It's him?! I was shocked to speak.

"My father decided to kill you because you took away Li Binglan's heart." Ettiria's deep voice became extremely sad, "My father has always wanted General Li to be his daughter-in-law, let her marry into the royal family, and continue the unsuccessful love in the next generation, but your appearance has disappointed his wish, so he must kill you." Only if you disappear forever from this world can General Leigh forget you completely. At the will of our father, we have to deal with you, because ...... If we disobey our father's will, our family will be ruined...... For the sake of your father, for the sake of my newborn son, for the survival of our family and for the preservation of our ancestors, we have to sacrifice you...... I don't say this to you to forgive us – whatever the reasons we had at the time, we didn't deserve to forgive you for hurting you, I just wanted you to understand that we had no choice but to be born into a family like this, and we had too much to do with ourselves...... If we hurt you once, we won't hurt you a second time, and there is no parent in the world who would hurt his son twice......"

I let out a long sigh, wiped away the frost and clouds on my face, and said abruptly: "Let the past pass away like light smoke...... I don't have the intention of pursuing or revenge, I entered the imperial capital this time, not for hatred, but for love...... However, what has happened in the past cannot be regarded as never happened, you and I know very well that even if there is no hatred between me and the Beshatu clan in the future, there will be no more love, and if anything regains the warmth of father and son, it is just self-deception. ”

"Alex, it's our Beshatu who are sorry for you...... We owe you a lot, and even if you resent us today, we don't blame you...... But please believe that we are sincere in cooperating with you this time, and we are sincere in helping you and Li Binglan. Ettiria said in a sincere tone.

"I'm young, so I only look forward, not back...... Your Royal Highness, Princess, tell me about our cooperation, and let me hear your plans......" I said with a relieved smile, a warm smile floating on my face.

"Okay," Ettiria said with a cold expression after knowing that I was impressed, "the biggest obstacle between you and General Leigh is my second brother, and the second brother will never let you go." Likewise, you must overcome this biggest obstacle in order to reunite with General Leigh. And we are also in trouble with my second brother, in the current situation where my father's life is in danger, we have become the biggest obstacle for the second brother to control the empire, in order to ascend to the throne, the second brother will definitely try his best to get rid of me and your father. Of course, we also have to fight for survival. Therefore, we are on the same front as you, and although our goals are different, our goals are the same—my second brother is our common enemy. So we must join forces to deal with the crisis together. ”

I nodded and said, "Rather than scattering the battles and being broken one by one, I still understand the truth of different alliances and helping each other to go through the crisis together." ”

Seeing my move, Ettiria seemed relieved, and then said, "I know you've been in contact with James and expect his help. But did you know that my sixth brother is not reliable! James is a death-scared ghost, and he knows that he can't fight against his second brother, so he has taken the initiative to lean towards the side of the second brother and collude with my second brother, so he doesn't really help you. Haven't you ever been attacked in the streets? This is the best proof that your news was provided by him to the second brother. And James is weak, even if he wants to help you, he can't help. ”

"It seems that I am really lonely and weak in the imperial capital, and it is difficult to move an inch!" I smiled wryly, and Ettiria made it clear that I couldn't get any foreign help, and that I had no choice but to cooperate with them.

"Only we are your true friends, and only we have the strength to help you." "There is one more thing you don't know, because of your arrival, the second brother intends to bring the wedding date early, which may be set at the beginning of the spring snow in February, and there will be no large-scale parade celebrations, not to appear in front of everyone like the previous royal weddings, so that the people can watch, but to hold a simple wedding dinner ceremony in the imperial palace, only a few cronies are invited to attend, and the archbishop will officiate." So you can't rescue General Lee at the wedding parade, he won't give you such a chance at all! Of course, if you work with us, I will create a great opportunity for you. ”

Ettiria knew that I had not taken any action since I arrived in the imperial capital, and it was estimated that I would take advantage of the wedding to rob my relatives, so she used this news to completely shatter my hopes and let me step by step towards the choice she expected, what a really powerful woman.

"So, does Your Highness have something to teach me?" I put on a look of joy and sincerity, and humbly asked.

"In today's situation, there is no other way but a solution." "What's the plan?" I asked anxiously.

"Assassinate Aruton! As long as Aruton is eliminated and all the crises are solved, you and General Li will be able to compete with each other! A cold light flashed in Etiria's eyes, and she said word by word.

"Ah......h

"I've been planning this for a long time, and I've planned it in detail. However, due to the fact that there are no super-qualified masters available, it has not been implemented for a long time. Your arrival has given me hope for success. What I desperately need now is a talent like you, and your superb skills combined with the assassination skills I have cultivated can ensure that this strategy is foolproof! Alex, this is the only way to do it at the moment. Are you willing to take responsibility for carrying out this action? If you agree, I'll call you five hundred dead men. Ettiria looked at me with a serious gaze, but with a pleasant expression on her face.

"Is this a good plan?" I asked hesitantly.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, the hope of success reaches 10%!" Ettiria said confidently, "Don't hesitate, Alex! When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! It's not just for me and your father, it's for yourself! I'm not selfish in this regard, and if I had a martial art like yours, I would do it myself. I have discussed with your father that I intend for you to restore your surname to Beshatu, return to the head of the family, and return the inheritance of the family to you, and let you expand our business, I only hope that your brothers can live in harmony. Your father and I are living a happy life away from power strife. ”

"Let me think about ......"

I pondered for a long time before I made up my mind and said, "Everything is subject to Your Highness's arrangement!" But the matter of going home should be decided after the current crisis is resolved, and some things cannot be rushed for a while...... When does Your Highness plan to act? ”

Seeing that I agreed, a look of satisfaction flashed on Etiria's face, and she nodded and said, "This is the wise and brave king of the desert!" The time was set for the wedding night of Aruton and General Leigh. At that time, the defense of the palace city will definitely be slackened, and I will supplement it with manpower to disturb its ears and eyes, and you will take the opportunity to sneak into the imperial palace in the costume of a guard, and then enter the wedding banquet hall with thunderous means, and you will definitely be able to perform a blow with one blow! All you have to do is kill Arudon, and you can recapture the love of your life on the spot, and you and your general Leigh will live together. ”

After I consulted with Attiria about the details of the assassination, Attiria said, "Do you want to be alone with your father for a while?" He is very concerned about you, and believes that you father and son have been separated for several years, and there are many things you want to say to each other...... I hope you will think about it when you go home, and this is what your father and I hope for. ”

I thought about it, sighed, shook my head and said, "I can't face him alone now...... Getting along at this time will only increase the embarrassment...... Let me get my mood in order and then meet him alone. As for going home...... My mind is still in turmoil at this time, please give me some more time. ”

"Okay, I'm not going to force you, there are some things that take time to figure out...... Let's go out together for your brother's baptism, it's almost time to go. Attiria said no more, and entered the banquet hall with me.

I sat next to the chair of the Beshatu family, with my retainer Kasta on the left and Lin Kai on the right. In Beshatu, with his wife, Princess Etiria, by his side, little Ferdinand sat restlessly in his mother's arms.

LIN Kai. Beshatou and Ettiria treated me as family and as if they were the eldest sons, and the meaning of the connection was self-evident. But I know quite well in my heart that in this warm picture of a loving mother, a loving father, and a filial son, I am just an outsider.

Lin Kai hugged Ferdinand and said to him, "This is your brother Alex, call him brother." ”

Little Ferdinand timidly called out, "Brother." Then he shrank back in fear, a little afraid of life.

With a kind smile on my face, I looked at him with kind eyes, and said gently, "Little Ferdinand! My brother will bring you something delicious and fun another day! ”

"Really? Brother doesn't lie? Let's tick the box, a word is decided. When little Ferdinand heard that there was something delicious and playful, he was no longer afraid of me, and held out his little finger to me.

I ticked a box with him and said with a smile, "Really! I never lie. ”

Lin Kai saw that our "brothers" were getting along harmoniously, his face was full of relief, and he whispered to me: "Alex, thank you!" Thank you for forgetting the past, and we will make amends for you in the future! Our family is finally reunited. The so-called killing brothers who never leave their own brothers, and never leaving their fathers and sons in battle - Alex, we finally have the opportunity to fight side by side, let us face the difficulties in the future! ”

I smiled and nodded, and was about to reply, when the doorman informed me that the sixth prince of James, the fifth prince of Baals, and the seventh princess of Emily had arrived.

My eyes first fell on two members of the royal family whom I had never met.

The fifth prince of Bals and the sixth prince of James were born to the same mother, and their appearance was the same as that of James, except that he was two years older, and his complexion seemed to be worse than that of his younger brother, and he was less than thirty years old but had the vicissitudes of forty years old, and he looked like he had been hollowed out by wine, but he did not have the gloomy color of James.

Emily's seventh princess is twenty-eight Fanghua, which is the age of budding, with short chestnut hair, bangs and eyebrows, melon seed face with a pair of smart and colorful eyes, and a slightly upturned small mouth that seems to always have a smile that seems to be happy and hateful, quite delicate and lovely, cunning and wise.

She is not tall, a head shorter than Etiria, but the proportions of her figure are close to perfect, and the close-fitting pink royal evening dress fully reveals her undulating peaks and provocative curves, coupled with the compelling youthful atmosphere, I believe that every man standing in front of her will have a heartbeat and blood rushing.

"Are you the Alex?" Emily asked directly. She was now looking at me with curiosity, and seemed to have a keen interest in me, the legendary and lascivious king of the desert, the young count of the Empire.

"It's true that I'm Alex, but whether I'm debauched or not, this can only be verified by Her Royal Highness the princess herself."

I gave her a malicious smile, and my gaze fell on her sensitive parts without any scruples, and the clever Princess Emily understood the meaning of my gaze, and a hint of anger flashed across her face, but it was replaced by a sly and dangerous smile.
