In the council hall, the old king looked around at everyone, and the current situation was already obvious, that is, the three princes secretly united with the Iron Hand, the consul Joe Valentin and others, as for the kingdom legion commander Heslet, he originally supported the three princes, but Heslet had already gone to the border.

The third prince was originally one of the two most promising to become the new king, but the assassination of the little princess caused his advantage to disappear completely, and the third prince was very unwilling.

In fact, the third prince has a large number of troops in his hands, if he wants to rebel, then no one can stop him, but the third prince is not opposed, or he has always tried to maintain the stability of the royal capital, no matter how great his disadvantage in the struggle for power is, he will not mobilize the army guarding the wall of the gods, he can seize power and fail, but the wall of the gods must be defended, which is more important, the third prince has always been clear.

Originally, the third prince didn't have much hope, who knew that Rowan Harvey actually committed treason, and when he heard the news, the third prince was surprised and delighted, Rowan Harvey treasoned, which almost made the eldest prince's advantage plummet.

Rowan Harvey is in charge of finances, and the eldest prince also holds a certain amount of financial power, so the two must have an unclear relationship.

Hearing the news of Rowan Harvey's treason, the eldest prince was so frightened that he almost threw out his urine, Rowan Harvey treasoned, and his eldest prince definitely had no good fruit to eat, and the kingdom's finances were a whole, not separated.

Therefore, the eldest prince immediately expressed his loyalty, that is, he withdrew from the power struggle and wholeheartedly stabilized the kingdom's finances, which seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact he was saving his own life.

The eldest prince was not surprised that the old king stood up, because the old king knew the character of the eldest prince, the cautious, elegant, but hypocritical character, which was actually very similar to the old king when he was young, so the old king liked the eldest prince very much.

But the third prince also stood up, which surprised the old king, in the old king's opinion, the eldest prince was forced to withdraw, and the third prince was the most favorable candidate.

The third prince just stood up, and he not only stood up, but also jumped to the throne.

The third prince jumped to the throne, and the help of one person was indispensable, and that person was Joe Valentine, who was still kneeling in front of the old king just now, but now he was standing behind the third prince.

The grace of knowing the situation? Don't be kidding, the old king has the intention to kill Joe Valentine, where can Joe Valentine still take care of the grace of knowledge, the royal power is ruthless, and the courtiers under the royal power will value love and righteousness?

"Father, I hope your son has not disappointed you."

The third prince walked towards the old king, he had some tyrant potential, iron-blooded, ruthless, and decisive, but he was thoughtful.

The third prince stepped on the stone stairs in front of the throne, and he approached the throne step by step.

The royal capital, inside a luxurious courtyard.

"Kill!!"

Hundreds of 'Praetorian Guards' formed a battle formation, and they surrounded a young man covered in blood in the center.

"Omen of death."

The young man roared, and invisible energy spread around.

"Shield!"

With a bang, hundreds of 'Praetorian Guards' blocked the huge shields in their hands, and invisible energy swept by, and these Praetorian Guards all took a few steps back, but they immediately stepped forward in order, surrounding the young man in the center.

"Ahh

The young man roared angrily, very unwillingly, although his face was covered with blood, but he was a handsome man, he was ...... Seven Princes!

The third prince made a move against the seventh prince, and others would be afraid of the seventh prince's appeal in terms of holy warriors, but the third prince didn't care, he had an army, and under the dense crowd tactics, the holy warriors who dared to make a mistake would also die.

Somewhere in the courtyard of the royal capital.

Poof. Poof, poof......

There was a dense stabbing sound, and several assassins dressed in black and armed with daggers were stabbing a middle-aged man, whose body twitched, and the expensive clothes were stained with blood.

"You... No, kill me, I'm in charge of the ......."

Poof. Poof, poof......

The stabbing sound drowned out the middle-aged man's faint voice.

"What can you do in charge of finances, there are so many people in the kingdom, and you are not the best in terms of finances."

The fourth princess with a black feather folding fan in her hand walked out of the darkness, and she opened the small folding fan to cover her mouth and nose.

"Whoever goes against Matyr will die, whoever allows him to get the support of so many people."

The fourth princess snorted coldly, although she was unwilling, but she recognized the situation, so she survived.

Similar things are happening to many enemies in the royal capital.

In the palace chamber, the third prince stepped up the stone stairs step by step, and he was getting closer and closer to the throne.

"Of all my offspring, it seems, you are more like me."

The old king looked at the third prince with a smile, and the footsteps of the third prince paused, and he felt that there was something wrong with the old lion, very wrong.

"It took you five years to infiltrate the Praetorian Guard, it's too slow, it only took me two years at the beginning."

"Huh~?"

Hearing the old king's words, the domineering third prince was obviously confused.

"Your eldest brother is very good, but he is indeed a little narrow-minded, kill it, kill it, as for your fourth sister, she may be your help, but don't forget one thing, she is not the kind of person who is willing to admit defeat, and your seventh brother, the wings of the kingdom are looking for death, I actually wanted to get rid of him for a long time."

The old king was very calm in his narration, but the third prince couldn't calm down, he subconsciously took a step back, at this moment, he personally felt the old king's terrible, if it was a power struggle with the old lion, then he didn't even know how to die, and he was definitely played to doubt life.

"I'm glad you didn't move the troops on the front, and I'm not too interested in what deal you made with the Iron Hand, but don't forget that if he's not happy, your head could hit the ground."

The old king waved his hand and motioned for the third prince to continue to step forward, but the third prince stood still and did not move.

The third prince, who was originally domineering, was withered by the old king's simple words, and maybe it will leave a certain degree of shadow in the future.

"Iron Hand, I see through them, but I can't see through you, although I don't know what your purpose is, as long as it's not royal power.

No matter what your purpose is, you first helped me get rid of the instability, and then you solved the necromantic assassination, during the power struggle, you helped me do a lot of things, some glorious, some dishonorable, since you want to be under the throne, then go away, there is no place to return. ”

The old king looked at Joe Valentine, Joe Valentine subconsciously shrank his neck, the current old king is like a drooping old lion, and there is a vicious beast standing beside him, God knows if this old lion and that vicious beast have reached any deal, he Joe Valentin is a watchdog at best, even if it is a dying lion, he does not dare to provoke.

"Bring a pen."

The old king spoke, and Joe Valentine hesitated for a moment, but still took a pen and paper from the side hall beside him.

The old king wrote a few lines of text on a piece of parchment, and the old king with the parchment in his hand looked at Su Xiao.

"Iron Hand, are you sure you want to go under the throne?"

"Of course."

Su Xiao stretched out his hand to the old king, who nodded and handed the parchment in his hand to Su Xiao.

As soon as Su Xiao took the parchment, he grabbed the old king's neck with his other hand.

"Iron Hand, what are you doing!"

Seeing Su Xiao pinching the old king's neck, the third prince roared angrily and was shocked.

Su Xiao and the old king looked at the third prince at the same time, which made the third prince's cheeks twitch, the third prince already understood that compared to other royal power contestors, these two people were much more terrifying, one seemed to see through everything, and the other was no one who did not dare to kill.

"It seems that your heir is not ruthless enough."

"The throne will make him more ruthless, and he will be sharper, and killing people is what you do best."

"No problem."

Click!

Su Xiao pinched the old king's neck under the stunned expression of the third prince, the third prince didn't want to kill the old king, but he didn't dare to kill it, this old lion was too terrible.
