A mottled word for "king" caught his eyelids, and Mars remembered that it had been carved by King Quinn XIII when he rested here after taking him to the Great Hall for a council.

That day, he was very happy and played in the water to his heart's content.

A week later, however, he was sent to Angela, with only a few close attendants with him.

"Mars, it's boring!" said Audrey.

Mars smiled slightly, as if talking to himself: "I remember when I was seven years old, I played in the water here, and my father smiled very happily......"

"But?" asked Audrey.

"That was the last time I played here, and a week later I was sent to Angela to become a proton!" Mars whispered.

His mind gradually calmed down, thinking back on his ten-year career, in addition to being frightened in Angela, the most exciting thing was after escaping from Angela's royal capital.

Now that he had returned again, and had calmed down some of the unstable emotions, there was no sense of belonging to Mars, and he barely remembered what Quinn XIII looked like.

However, this does not affect the plan he will execute.

The wait was long, but Mars had a lot of patience.

The Great Hall.

Sitting on the throne of black iron, Quinn XIII listened tiredly to the ministers' reports on some important matters, but his old face could not hide his sick face.

The gray-haired king, though he wore a crown, had lost his former majesty, and he was nothing more than an old man about to go to the grave.

In fact, Quinn XIII has rarely been concerned with state affairs since the incident of the Wind Castle Legion, and most of them are handled by the prime minister, and such a monthly summons is just a formality.

Of course, this does not mean that Quinn XIII is old and confused, in fact, the king's mind is still very clear, he is very aware of the shortcomings of the Sunset City Kingdom, and he is also very aware that the queen and the eldest prince are in a faction, but he has no power to change anything, he can only drag.

Quinn XIII didn't know what he was delaying, and it stands to reason that he should have made a crown prince, but he didn't.

Fortunately, the authority of Quinn XIII is still the same, many courtiers are still loyal to the king, and the three major knights of Sunset City are loyal to Quinn XIII.

As long as Quinn XIII is on the Iron Throne for a day, nothing will happen to Sunset City, but once Quinn XIII dies, the Sunset Kingdom may not be indispensable to war.

Therefore, the court physicians were doing everything they could to prolong the life of Quinn XIII.

After some of the ministers reported on their work, Quinn XIII felt that the time was almost up, so he signaled to rest, and the ministers were still waiting in the main hall.

Quinn XIII sat on the bronze chariot and walked slowly towards the resting hall, today he always felt that something was going to happen, and he was a little uneasy.

As for the rebellion or something, he didn't think it was anything, with the royal knights guarding him, some people should not dare to attack him, so what made him uneasy?

Did Eternal Winter send troops to the border, or did he rebel somewhere, or did Angela tear up the peace agreement and capture Sunset City?

Suspicious, Quinn XIII entered the rest hall under the escort of the palace knights, and suddenly saw two knights of the royal knights next to the pool in the center of the hall.

Du Wei, the head of the regiment on the side of the guard, was shocked when he saw this scene, the king's rest time was twenty minutes earlier today, and Mars and Audrey did not guard the main hall and stood where they were standing.

Quinn XIII was obviously shocked by this scene as well, he never imagined that a knight would be so bold and ignorant of the rules.

After a moment of stalemate, Du Wei immediately shouted: "Come on, take down these two unruly wastes for me!"

The two knights agreed, and immediately rushed towards Mars and Audrey.

Mars stared at the king not far away, and his heart was full of emotion, he did not expect that Quinn XIII was so old.

And Audrey's body was surging with magic and wanted to transform, but was pulled by Mars and whispered, "Don't be impulsive." ”

Hearing Mars's reminder, Audrey collected her magic and stood beside Mars without saying a word.

Mars stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, Your Majesty, I am not hostile, can you give me a chance to defend myself before executing me?"

"Oh?"

Quinn XIII's cloudy eyes froze slightly, he wanted to see through Mars's identity, but Mars was tightly wrapped.

He was suddenly shocked in his heart, is this the reason why he is restless today?

Thinking of this, Quinn XIII immediately waved his hand and said, "Catch the other person, I will give you a chance to say a reason not to kill you!"

Immediately, the knights carried the king to the center of the hall, and in a short time various delicacies were placed on the table, and Audrey was escorted down by the two knights.

At this time, only Quinn XIII, Du Wei and Mars were left in the main hall.

Quinn XIII ate his meal and said, "You don't talk to me with your helmet all the time!"

Mars took off his helmet, raised his head, and said slowly, "Father, do you still know me?"

Quinn XIII, who was dining, suddenly stopped his knife and fork, looked sideways at Mars, his body trembled slightly, a look of shock flashed in his cloudy eyes, and muttered, "Are you Mars?"

He had nine children, all of whom he was very familiar with, but there was only one outcast whom he was not familiar with, and this man was called his father, and that was Mars.

"Yes, Mars has seen Your Majesty!" Mars saluted on one knee, his face unchanged, his face calm, and his heart did not stir in the slightest.

I originally thought that the scene of father and son meeting each other was moved and scattered, but it didn't happen.

For a long time, Quinn XIII didn't speak, he just stared at Mars until he looked at Du Wei and said, "It seems that the Quake family has made a choice, Captain Du Wei, you go down first, and entertain that little friend for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

There was a complicated look in Du Wei's eyes, and he immediately bowed and retreated.

The silence in the hall was terrifying, but Mars still looked at Quinn XIII with a determined look in his eyes.

In Mars's heart, he did not have much impression of this king, this father, and even more of a hatred, he hated Quinn XIII's desperation, hated Quinn XIII for sending him to Angela.

Only now, when Mars saw in front of him an old man who was about to die, he couldn't hate it, Quinn XIII may not be a good father, nor a good king, but he was his own father after all, and the true ruler of Sunset City.

Quinn XIII's lips moved, and said: "Mars, I have suffered you all these years, it is my father who is sorry for you, but I don't think my decision is wrong, as a prince, you should give everything for your people, your grandfather once told me, the more you get, the more you should give, you have fought for the kingdom for ten years, and your credit will not be erased." ”

Mars shook his head and said, "Father, I know that I used to hate you because I didn't have a good time in Angela, but now, I don't have and I won't hate anything!"

Quinn XIII showed a smile and said: "It's good to understand, I won't blame you for fleeing Angela, in the past two years, our trade with Angela has been very unsmooth, and you can't be blamed, it's my father's inability to govern the kingdom well, and now I'm watching her decay day by day, and my father's heart is also decaying!"

With that, a look of pain appeared on Quinn XIII's face, and a withered hand clutched his chest.

"Father, it's not your fault!" said Mars.

A king may be mediocre, but most of the affairs of the kingdom are decided by the Privy Council, so it can only be said that the bureaucrats of Sunset City are just moths of the kingdom, and of course Quinn XIII cannot escape responsibility.

Quinn XIII shook his head and said, "Mars, you have grown up, you don't need to comfort me, now that you are here, I am very happy in my heart, and I can also announce an important matter." ”。

"Something important?" Mars was stunned, and his heart was even more shocked.

"Yes, a very important matter!" said Quinn XIII earnestly.
