A hot wind blew on the streets of Ashtidon, the capital of the Yakee Kingdom, and the streets of the royal capital were crowded with people, and the enthusiasm of the people was not lost in the heat of the weather. This is because today is the 10th birthday of King Cartier III's fourth son, Cad Monroe, and Cartier III celebrates the child with great pomp, and everyone in Ehititon except the slaves receives a jar of wheat as a reward, so the enthusiasm of the people is unprecedented, and everyone is offering their blessings to the young prince.

But the organizer of the celebration, King Kadir III, was not at all happy. His third prince's health has not been particularly good, and after the age of fourteen, his condition has deteriorated, and now he is too sick to get out of bed. The symptoms he exhibited were exactly the same as those of his two elder brothers before they died, and King Qadir III was saddened by the fact that he cherished the only remaining son, and he sent messengers to various temples to pray for the son, and held this great celebration in the hope of receiving the blessings of his people. However, none of this can sweep away the shadow in his heart, although it is only a conjecture.

Taking advantage of the occasion, Qadir III quietly withdrew from his retinue and tried to keep along, and the king of Yaqui was finally left alone for a while. Trying to avoid the gaze of the people, Kadir went for a walk alone in the cloister at the edge of the palace.

After a short walk, Kadir came to a small, quiet garden where the tranquility contrasted with the festivities that preceded it. Although the garden is not large, it is large enough to be a place for fifty families to live. Walking through the garden, Kadir noticed a small grease stain on his hands at some point, so he went to the fountain. Bend down and wash your hands with water from the fountain in the park. Just as he was about to straighten up, a face appeared in the pool.

Kadir was slightly startled. Then he regained his composure and said softly, "Is it Brudasmo?" ”

"It's the villain. Your Majesty. ”

Kadir looked around silently, and there was no one else, and then he said, "You should try your own way of appearing, and keep your means to scare your opponent." ”

Before the words fell, a human head appeared in the flowers, and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the villain is just to prevent being overheard by others." ”

"Okay, okay, what is the important thing for you to come here, right?" Kadir was in a bad mood. Somewhat impatient.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The villain has just found out an important matter, and he must report it to His Majesty as soon as possible. ”

"Let's be brief."

"The villain has been following the secret agent of the royal brother Aiyuka recently, this person is the villain's predecessor in the Shadow Brotherhood, and he has always been secretive, and he has a group of capable deputies, so it is difficult to find his traces. Lately, however, his activities have suddenly become more frequent, and he does it all himself. Unwilling to delegate his subordinates to do it, the villain finally discovered his whereabouts. ”

"Oh? Did you find anything? Kadir pretended to admire the garden, and took the opportunity to observe if anyone was disturbing.

"He's tracking down a man who was once a key member of our organization. Then he suddenly disappeared. Shagora's goal is to get rid of this man, and the two sides have shown their abilities to wrestle with each other, and there has been no winner. A few days ago, Xia Gora finally managed to catch up with this person. The villain did not dare to show his face, so he tried his best to rescue him. But Shagora killed the man anyway. However, before he died, this person revealed an important information to the villain, that is, why the two princes and their royal highnesses died young. ”

"What!" Kadir was taken aback when he heard this: "What is the reason? ”

Brudasmo's voice was lowered: "This thing began to be implemented about fifteen years ago. Chagora did it with four other people. They succeeded in poisoning His Majesty's princes over a period of ten years, and this poison was very difficult to detect, and it did not attack during childhood, but as soon as it began to develop, the poison would gradually attack and eventually take the princes' lives. ”

Kadir was expressionless, but his hands were already clenched. It's hard to imagine that all four of his sons have been poisoned, and no one has found out for so many years! It's incredible! Although I have always had some doubts about this, I didn't expect this doubt to be true!

"Who's going to do it! The Shadow Brotherhood doesn't kill people casually, who is the main messenger behind it! ”

Brudasmo hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is angry, Xia Gora is a subordinate of His Royal Highness, and at this time he suddenly began to kill people, doesn't it explain the problem?" ”

"Ayuka! He! Kadir's eyes widened with rage, and his voice trembled: "I'm afraid his target is not only my sons, the king who has no heir, will naturally pass the throne to his younger brothers, Aiyuka is the most prestigious one, then the country will fall into his hands." Hmph, hum, it's really yours, Aiyuka, I was almost deceived by you. ”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, at present, the two princes have been poisoned, in the eyes of the villain, the third prince has returned to the sky, and now he has to treat it before the fourth prince has developed, maybe there is hope to save it."

This sentence woke Kadir, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Brudasmo, what kind of poison is this?" How is it treated? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this poison is called 'Manticore's Tears, and it is a secret medicine circulating in the Shadow Brotherhood, and its antidote has been lost many years ago due to the long duration of its effect. However, the villain found out that this medicine was introduced from Frank, the kingdom of God, so the villain wanted to immediately send someone to Frank's country to find the antidote. Until then, the only way is to delay the development of His Royal Highness as much as possible to stop the onset of toxicity. ”

Kadir nodded again and again, "Okay, you start to do this immediately!" ”

"Yes! The villain retired. With that, Brudasmo disappeared into the flowers again, and the small flowers did not shake at all, but Kadir knew that Brudasmo was no longer there.

Walking along the garden path, Kadir III was excited: Aiyuka, Aiyuka, it seems that I am not mistaken, you are indeed an ambitious adventurer. You had already set such a poisonous plan fifteen years ago, and you were a teenager who had just turned fifteen! Now that you've done such things, don't think I'm going to stop like this. Wait and see, brother.

After a small psychological reconstruction, Kadir III put on a happy face and returned to the lively celebrations. (To be continued......)
