In recent times, Aiyuka's mood has fluctuated several times, and he feels a little at a loss.

Originally, everything was under his control: the third son of the royal brother Kadir III had already shown obvious signs of manticore's tears poisoning and would soon die, and the fourth son was already ten years old and would soon enter the age of development, and all the males of the Kadir family would die at that time. What's more, the royal brother is no longer able to have children, so the crown prince of Yaki can only choose among the brothers of Kadir. Although the order of succession is not dominant, the other brothers in the royal family are all gentlemen, and he is the ideal candidate in the hearts of the important ministers.

Aiyuka is only thirty-two years old this year, a full eleven years younger than Kadir. Although this gap is not too big, in recent years, in order to create a new successor, Kadir has been too obsessed with women's sex and neglected to take care of the government, resulting in the increasing power of Prime Minister Usubu, and his physical condition is not as good as before. As it stands, Kadir is estimated not to have lived to be sixty years old, and by that time he will only be in his forties, and he is still very young for a king, and he has six sons and eleven daughters, and by that time the king's line will fall into his hands.

In order to get to this situation, Aiyuka has endured for nearly 20 years. Despite Kadir's restrictions on his younger brother, Ayuka used his martial arts skills to gain considerable prestige among the generals and secretly established friendly relations with some civilian officials. If he is made the crown prince, then his voice in the court will be greatly strengthened, with his own ability. I believe that it will soon be able to control the entire Yaki Imperial Court. At that time, Ayuka will be able to control both the military and the political, as long as he promises more benefits to the priests. Then it is not impossible to let Kadir abdicate early.

However, there is a loophole in his plan, that is, when he instigated the poisoning of the Shadow Brotherhood, there was a living person besides Shagora. Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, he sent Shagoras to get rid of him. But according to Shagora's report. Although the man is dead, the operation seems to have been sniffed out by the leader of the Shadow Brotherhood, Brudasmo, and it seems to have been slightly disturbed during the operation. For this reason, Aiyuka was worried for several months, but fortunately, after that, the situation was calm and nothing happened, so Aiyuka concluded that although Brudasmo had found some clues, the key human evidence had been extinguished, and he could not continue to investigate further.

Having finally put his mind at ease, Aiyuka soon received a new message from Shagora, which made him uneasy again. According to Shagora's report, the Shadow Brotherhood appears to have seen a significant turnover since the death of the witnesses. Some of the backbone members have completely disappeared as if the world has evaporated. This made the intelligence activities of Shagora's men much easier, but it made Aiyuka wonder. Since the split of the Shadow Brotherhood, the mainstream members of the Shadow Brotherhood have been serving Brother Wang under the leadership of Brudasmo, and the group of excluded members led by Xia Gora may have known for a long time that they are serving themselves, but because the Shadow Brotherhood is an extremely secret organization, even among the important ministers, few people know about the existence of this organization, so the secret game between the two sides has not been superficial. Since Brother Wang knew that he owned part of the power of the Shadow Brotherhood, he had been using the contradictions between the two forces to suppress it over the years, and both sides had lost a lot of people in the battles between them. Why would they suddenly send people out? Unless he has something more important to do. But what kind of thing is this that requires the power of the Shadow Brotherhood to be used?

That must be an extremely confidential matter, otherwise with the power of Brother Wang, he could have delegated commissioners and even the army to complete it. But Aiyuka couldn't think of this after thinking about it, and it was at this time that the news came that the Yaki Crusade Army had been wiped out.

This incident is undoubtedly a major blow to Ayuka. Because Ai Youka has the highest reputation among the generals, and this time more than a dozen Yaki generals were killed in battle. This is nothing short of a disaster for Ayuka. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this sudden turn of events, someone suddenly came to report to King Qadir III that he had been invited to the palace for a secret discussion.

What is the purpose of Brother Wang's move? Ayuka first asked Shagora if she noticed anything unusual, and the answer was that everything was business as usual. Aiyuka was a little relieved. Pack up your clothes and head to the palace.

Before he reached the gate of the palace, he saw Viscount Libera come out of it from a distance. Ayuka learns that Viscount Libera seems to have been particularly favored by Kadir in recent times. He was often invited to lunch with the king. According to the information that Aiyuka has, Li Tianhao, the leader of the thief army entrenched in the Tyres, seems to be a particularly powerful character. This time, a number of Yaki's famous generals died at his hands, and it is said that he also has a master named Xenas under him, and his strength should not be underestimated. If even a brave general like Everger is difficult to fight, then I am afraid that only Viscount Libera and himself can compete with it in the entire Yaki country. With Brother Wang's temper, he would never appoint himself as the main general, so he naturally wanted to use Viscount Libera.

But this Viscount Libera is a rare outlier. With Ai Youka's reputation among the generals, even if he doesn't revere Ai Youka, at least he admires his martial arts. But this Viscount Libera seems to have been born to oppose him, although he is better than Libera in spearmanship, but unfortunately he is slightly inferior to him in swordsmanship. Originally, the two could have become friends after the game, but Viscount Libera said that Aiyuka's spear skills could only be used in the arena, and it was not suitable for the battlefield at all. Perhaps he said this just to be competitive and save face, but this kind of rhetoric stabbed Ayayuka's self-esteem hard, and at the same time gave Kadir a perfect excuse to prevent him from going to the battlefield to make a difference.

As a result, the relationship between the two people is getting worse and worse. Ayuka thought that his loss to Libera in the sword match was just a momentary negligence, and that the title of Liberayaki's first brave man was nothing more than a fame; Libera claimed that Aiyuka was heroic on the outside, but was actually narrow-minded and ungraceful. So much so that the two strongest people in this sub-country are on the same page, and every time they meet, they will inevitably ridicule each other with the smell of gunpowder.

"Ah, it's a great honor to meet Viscount Libera here, Brother Wang's hospitality must have made you full at the moment, in fact, activities such as drinking and eating are far more suitable for you than dancing with swords and swords."

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness. How can a lowly person like me be compared to you, there will never be any suspense between you and your sparring partner, who would dare to hurt a single hair of His Royal Highness. ”

"Hmph, one day I will let you see that the exploits I have established on the battlefield will never be worse than yours."

"Ah, I'm afraid I've heard such a pale argument no less than twenty times, and then I have to pray like the great god Ra that you will have the opportunity to go to war and prove your ignorance."

"You!"

Libera sneered and saluted, "Yo, please forgive His Royal Highness for being vulgar." His Majesty is waiting for you, please don't keep your Majesty waiting too long. ”

After saying that, Libera walked away, leaving behind Aiyuka, who was so angry that his face was swollen with purple. (To be continued......)
