Don't linger to pick the flowers to save them, because the flowers will continue to bloom along the way.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

As the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, Duke Kulen is definitely one of the most powerful top magnates in the Tianlong Empire; born in such a wealthy family, Duke Kulen's sons and grandsons are in the imperial capital, so it is natural that they will be able to wind and rain.

Except for a few princes of the royal family and the core members of the five major families, almost no one in the imperial capital full of powerful people dared to provoke the blood members of the Cullen family, and Prince William, the highest-ranking prince among the princes, was the grandson of Duke Cullen.

With such a strong family background, it is inevitable that the bloodline members of the Kulen family will develop some not-so-good aristocratic habits, such as bullying and oppressing the common people, occasionally extorting businessmen, and most often competing with nobles with similar power to other families.

It's just that the contest between the children of the top magnates in the imperial capital is often not a competition that can be put on the table, but some competition such as jealousy and showing off comparisons;

Fitztier, who is the same age as Prince Wilhelm, was left in the palace by Charlemagne to accompany Prince Wilhelm since he was a child because of his kinship with Prince Wilhelm, and it was this experience that allowed Fitztier to establish a very deep friendship with Prince Wilhelm.

In terms of blood relationship, Fitzteler is the younger brother of Prince Wilhelm's mother and his maternal uncle; in terms of the relationship between monarchs and ministers, Prince Wilhelm is the son of Charlemagne, and the higher Fitzteler is only a courtier of the royal family after all.

It is clear that the relationship between Fitzgiller and Prince Wilhelm goes beyond blood ties and kings, and they have grown up together since childhood, not only have common preferences, but also know a lot about things that are unknown to each other.

Later, Prince Wilhelm, who had grown up, had his own independent residence outside the palace, and Fitztier, who had moved out of the palace, returned to the Cullen family.

Whenever Prince Wilhelm encountered something troublesome, he would definitely go to Fitzteler for a drink to talk to, and Feztier, who always caused some trouble in the imperial capital, would also hand over the troubles he could not solve to Prince Wilhelm to help him deal with.

After many years of such an uneventful life, Fitzterr, who maintained his temperament very well, met a civilian beauty who fell in love with him at first sight on a drink with friends.

According to common sense, with the power of the Cullen family and the status of Prince Wilhelm, it is not difficult for Fitzster, who has a powerful background, to take away a commoner beauty;

Fitztier, who already had this idea, reported himself to this beauty on the spot, hoping to exchange his identity for the beauty's favor; unexpectedly, this civilian beauty not only did not have a good impression of Fitztier, but also loudly scolded Fitztimeler as a hooligan.

Fitzterr, who was a little inexplicable, didn't quite understand why this beautiful woman was scolding herself, after all, she was just introducing herself to her;

After the doubts in his heart flashed away, Fezteler asked his entourage to take the first step to 'invite' this beautiful woman to the mansion of the Cullen family.

The reason why this sudden appearance is called the mysterious man is that he appeared wearing a black power suit and a silver-gray mask on his face, and the mysterious man who claimed to be the one who drew his sword to help him when he saw the road was uneven, and as soon as he appeared, he attacked Fizterr's entourage.

The entourage that followed Fetzteler was the elite guard of the Cullen family, and everyone had the strength of a low-level and high-level swordsman, but the retinue with such a high strength was vulnerable in front of this mysterious person.

After defeating the twelve of Fitztier's entourage in succession, the mysterious man left the street with the beautiful women that Fitzsterle had his eye on, and the embarrassed and angry Fitzteler immediately mobilized all his forces to find them.

Two hours later, the restaurant where the mysterious man and the commoner beauty lived was surrounded by Fitztimeler, who was surrounded by not only the elite guards of the Cullen family, but also the elite soldiers of the Golden Guards sent to him by Prince William.

With a full hundred elite guards of the Cullen family and two hundred elite soldiers of the Golden Guard, it was impossible for Fitzteler to fail in his opinion, and in fact, Fitzteler succeeded in capturing the recalcitrant mysterious and civilian beauties.

After catching the mysterious man and the civilian beauty, Fitzterer found that their relationship was absolutely extraordinary, because they not only lived in a room, but even their names were very similar, the name of the civilian beauty was Charlotte, and the name of the mysterious man was Charlotte.

Although Fitztimeler succeeded in capturing Charlotte and Charlore, he also paid a heavy price for this, and Charolle fought to the death, killing twelve Cullen family guards and thirty-seven gold-clad warriors in the fight.

Whether it was the loss of his own family's guards or the loss of the gold-clothed guards under Prince William's command, Fizteler could not accept it; in a fit of rage, he caught Charolle, who was hit by several swords, and immediately ordered Charole to be hung at the door of the restaurant and whipped with a whip!

Charolle, who was seriously injured, couldn't even use his spiritual power to protect himself, so he could only let the whip stained with salt water whipped him one after another; just ten minutes later, Charolle, who was in the realm of the Great Sword Master, was whipped and his flesh and blood were blurred.

Compared with Fitztier, who watched with relish, Charlotte, who was forcibly controlled by the guards of the Cullen family, looked at her whipped brother and Fitzteler with a cruel smile with an unusually cold look.

From the beginning to the end, Charolle, who was beaten, and Charlotte, who was controlled, did not open their mouths to say a word of begging for mercy to Fitztierer, and Fetztier, who became more and more bored the more he watched, did not want to kill Charolle in the street, and ordered Charolle to be released when he still had one breath left.

Just as the guards of the Cullen family, who had enjoyed the fight, were about to step forward and put down the hanging Charolle, three middle-aged men with an astonishing murderous aura all over their bodies, armed with silver swords, slashed at the Cullen family guards who had whipped Charolle just now.

Fetztier, who was still guarded by two hundred and fifty-one elite warriors by his side, didn't care about the three middle-aged people who suddenly appeared, and it wasn't until the three middle-aged men burst out with the momentum of a saint-level powerhouse that Fezterle was truly afraid!

How could the Kulen family, which didn't even have a saint-level powerhouse, offend the super power that had three saint-level powerhouses? Fiztier, who was in a cold sweat behind his back, hurriedly wanted to apologize to the three saint-level powerhouses, but the other party didn't give him a chance to apologize at all.

In the blink of an eye, the elite guards of the Cullen family and the elite warriors of the Golden Guards were slaughtered by three saint-level powerhouses who were almost rampant, and only Fitzterle, who was almost scared to pee his pants, was knocked to the ground by one of the sword saints with a sinister face.
