Chapter 530: Ninety-Nine-Nine
Sandy is no stranger to the people in the room.
Vino Yaker once carried the sick Sandy through the Endless Forest, so it was not surprising for Sandy to see Vino Yaker holding him.
What surprised him was the man lying on the ground.
"Grandfather!" Sander recognized the man lying on the ground, clapping his hands and shouting.
In fact, Hajvi Yakel only gets one chance a year to return to the town of Peace. A week's rest, not counting the four days on the road, he could only stay in the town of peace for three days.
There are only three short days a year, and yet it was these three days that he left an impression on Sandy's mind!
With Sandy's ability to remember, there's nothing surprising about that. The former aristocratic lady, Vinnie Yacker, had not seen Sandy for three years because of the plague that was prevalent in the flower meadows, but when they met, Sandy could instantly recognize her grandmother. That's what makes people unexpected. Three years ago, when Sandy met her grandmother, she was only two years old.
At this moment, Vino Yaker lowered Sandy to the ground and left her free.
"Grandfather, are you asleep?" asked Sandy as she crouched on the ground with wide blue eyes.
Vino Arker was still asleep, unresponsive, while Sandy sat on the ground and watched him silently. His big eyes blinked and blinked, as if curious as to why his grandfather was here.
Could this be the Endless Wall?
Sandy's first thought melted into the truth, and he thought about many other things in his mind - cavalry, dad, mom, knight games......
Sandy is easily in a daze, and a daze is half an hour. Peake advocates letting Sandy think things for himself, so he never bothers Sandy when he is in a daze. Because Pique himself knows that only by putting the problem into his mind can he have a chance to find the answer to the question, of course, the external manifestation of this process is - in a daze.
Just as Sandy was squatting on the ground in a daze, a middle-aged man in blue civilian clothes walked in outside the door.
Ross Child.
The Childe family is known for their prestige on the mainland, and the children of the family are either prominent business tycoons or low-key politicians with deep backgrounds in the royal palace.
Almost everyone who comes into contact with the Child family thinks about why there are no noble titles among the people of the Child family.
It stands to reason that wealth and power coexist, and wealth is the foundation of supreme power. Only people with a lot of wealth are eligible to play Game of Thrones.
But the fact is that none of the Childe family has a title of nobility!
If this question were to be thrown to Vino Yacker, then the young Nine Prince would surely give the most standard answer.
The king does not allow!
Yes, the king never allowed the Childe to reach into the circle of power in the kingdom, this is something that all the court children know, and Vino Jarkel is well aware of this unwritten rule, but he is still willing to contact the people of the Child, because they can always bring him the latest and most accurate information.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince," Rosechild said to Vino Arkell, "all the Knights of Light have left the Windy Keep, and they seem to have a clear goal. ”
Vino Yaker sat all day, when he got up and took two steps, and found that his legs were a little weak, "We succeeded," he picked up the flask on the table and filled it for himself, "The problems in the Endless Wall will also be solved tonight." ”
Rosschild noticed the words of the Nine Princes, and he opened his mouth to say "we", and after realizing such a thing, Roseschild realized that he had finally gained the trust of the Nine Princes, "I must remind you," he suddenly remembered one thing, "The Childe family is actually the one."
Heavy on Lord Levi. ”
"Oh?" said Vino Yaker, raising an eyebrow, in a puzzled tone, "Then why are you betting on me? Obviously, my eldest brother is the crown prince and has the most powerful military in the kingdom, so it would be a completely unwise move to choose me. ”
Ross Child gave a chest salute, then groaned deeply before he said:
"The reason why the Childe family has existed for so many years is because they don't bet all on one person. ”
When Vino Yaker heard this, he instantly understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that I am used by your family to hedge risks. But I'm still curious, I have eight older brothers, why don't you look for them?"
"Every prince has the Childe family at his side," said Ross Child, truthfully, "His Majesty knows about it, but he does not care. ”
Hearing this, Vino Arker suddenly fell silent, he secretly sighed in his heart about the strength of the energy of the Childe family, but also had a doubt, secretly thought in his heart for a few seconds, he couldn't find the answer himself, "I still don't understand," he said, "Why did my father allow you to participate in power, I have been educated by the royal family since I was a child, and the biggest taboo is to have a deep friendship with the people of the Child family." Vino Yaker said without hesitation.
"But you still want to believe me," said Rothchild, trying not to let a smile appear on his face, "the king loves the eldest prince, and what father does not love his eldest son......? Oh, Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please forgive me for the wording......"
“...... It doesn't matter, you continue. ”
"If His Royal Highness the Great Prince can honestly wait for decades, he will inherit the throne without surprise, and no one can compete with him. But His Royal Highness the eldest prince was anxious, and he watched himself go from youth to youth, and from youth to prime of life, and then from prime of life to old age...... He can't afford to wait, His Royal Highness the eldest prince will definitely have a guess in his heart, whether his father doesn't like him anymore, whether he has the idea of easy storage. Then he exposed his own impatience. This was the first mistake the Grand Prince made, and he was telling the old king that I don't want to wait any longer!
But the old king thought that he could be king for another ten or twenty years, and the contradiction broke out. Of course, if the eldest prince only showed his impatience, the king would not think much about it, and the eldest prince was wrong because he was too close to the childs.
As early as twenty years ago, the old king had begun to fear the eldest prince, because he was too close to the military bigwigs, and he was still secretly courting the knights of light. On top of that, the Childs put their bets on the eldest prince at the beginning, and while this is not allowed, it is an unspoken rule that everyone will acquiesce.
We, the Child, will unconditionally support every crown prince, and the current king has also been favored by the Childe family! Of course, this is not for the sake of competing for power in the future, we just think that after the eldest prince ascends the throne, we will not raise a butcher's knife against the Child family on a whim.
However, the eldest prince made the second mistake, he actually began to amass his wealth, taking advantage of the advantages of the Childe family, and in just a few years, he amassed a huge amount of wealth!
As a king, he naturally knows the charm of money. Money can make people crazy and buy people's hearts and minds, specifically, money can be directly converted into military spending!!
Of course, the attitude of the Childe family is ambiguous, and we do not want to offend the eldest prince who is most likely to become king in the future, nor do we want to touch the scales of His Majesty the king today, so we have exerted a great deal of restraint on the eldest prince in terms of wealth. This is a good intention, and if the Childe family shows the attitude of helping the eldest prince, then it is inevitable
Yes...... Kill the Great Prince.
Childe didn't want to lose his biggest bet, let alone touch the old king's backlash, so the Childe family made a risky move, and we decided to expand the bet and put it on all the princes!
This gave the old king an attitude, that is, our Childe family was willing to take the risk of family splitting to help the old king restrain the eldest prince.
Therefore, 20 years ago, only seven princes joined forces to force the eldest prince out of the situation of the royal capital! If the eldest prince had been more decisive at that time, he would have had the strength to force the palace and sit directly on the throne! However, he still relented, and if he succeeded in forcing the palace, it would mean that he would kill all his relatives, including his father and seven younger brothers!
Of course, the Childe family did not want the appearance of troubled times, so in the camp of persuading the eldest prince to leave the endless wall, the Childe family took the lead, and our family made it clear that they would be on the side of the king, and if the eldest prince dared to rebel by force, then he would lose all financial assistance.
In the end, the eldest prince compromised, and he was ostracized by all his relatives, and finally came to the Endless Wall. ”
Ross Schild recounted this large recount, and half an hour passed. Vino Arker was absorbing a lot of information in his mind, "I see," he said, "So, is the Childe family divided?"
There are many powerful forces in the continent today, and there are two of them with supreme power - the Cult of Light and the Royal Family, and the movement of these two behemoths will make the entire continent tremble a few times. Subsequently, the most powerful people who have escaped from the realm of power are the Childe family! This is an irrefutable fact!
"Yes, only the divided family of Childe will not be jealous of the king," said Ross Child, sighing, "the king has nine sons, and our family is divided into nine forces. The nine princes are restraining each other, and the nine forces of our family are also restraining each other. Only if His Majesty does not announce the division of the throne for a day, then this embarrassing situation will not be ended. ”
"I see," Vino Yaker took a deep breath, remembering that twenty years ago, when he was five years old, he watched his own brother arguing in public. At that time, he didn't understand why everyone had an argument when they met, and only now did he understand everything, "One last question," he looked at Rosschild with those pale golden pupils, "You, why did you choose me?"
Because you are the youngest Nine Princes!
Because His Majesty fears for your safety, he has sent five hundred Knights of Light to escort you to the mainland.
Because I see the wisdom in you.
Because all the other princes already have the power to gain a foothold.
Because I can only be regarded as a weak side branch in the family.
Because you need my help the most.
Because......
Because......
Because......
Time fell silent at this moment, and Ross Child thought of more than a dozen reasons in this short moment, but soon, he discarded all those so-called reasons, and finally, he said what he really wanted to say in his heart:
"Because, I think you are the most likely to be the next King Your Majesty!"
