"Anyway, before I met Empress Estile, even when Emperor Gayus was not a crown prince, the Countess Merrius had already known Gaeus. If you put yourself in the other person's shoes, you might think that your grandmother is the third party. ”

Later, when Gayus's great-uncle Atra III died, he had no children and was succeeded by his father, Isar. At that time, Gaius himself was already twenty years old, and his father Isar was a mediocre man, not physically strong, but with a generous and gentle temperament. For the princes of Auckland at that time, a mascot sitting on the throne of Qingyao was of course the best candidate. It's just that what they didn't think about was that the dog father would be able to give birth to a tiger son.

However, the Auckland princes are not to blame. As a young man, Gaeuus was a bohemian who was always in and out of the lowly taverns, chatting and laughing with a large group of mercenary adventurers. He even left the imperial capital and disappeared for a while, and was an adventurer for several years, and it is said that he has created some epic adventure legends. If it is placed in a Japanese-style RPG game, it is the treatment and setting of the protagonist's second and male protagonist's number one friend, but in the eyes of nobles with a normal world view, this is completely worthy of the evaluation of "light and unprepared" and "not like a human king".

The princes of Auckland may have failed history, and seem to have completely forgotten about their founding emperor of the Holy Springs Royalty. Moreover, generally speaking, this kind of "light and unprepared" and "unexpected" guys, as long as they have the protagonist's aura to let them overcome the initial difficulties and obstacles, they usually go in the direction of "the Holy Monarch of the World naturally wants to be born with a vision".

All in all, Gayus spent several years as an adventurer, during which time she made many reliable friends, the most important of which was, of course, her future queen, Estelle of Light.

As a result, Melica, a childhood sweetheart, eventually lost to Queen Estelle of the Heavenly Descending Department, so Countess Merica became jealous? Well, she's a pregnant woman, don't you mean to tell me that when she was dumped by Gaius the Great, the two of them had a breakup cannon oops...... "Lu Xi immediately felt that he had been pinched hard.

Of course, he didn't have to look back to know that it was Karin, but his son let out a very dissatisfied "wow" and slapped his head with a small slap, which made Lu Xi unable to calm down.

"Oh, baby, Daddy is discussing the legacy of your great-grandfather's youth. Even if it is really spread out, others will only think that it is a real husband's true character, and it will not affect his prestige. Lu Xi said.

"Thank you! But please be sure to consider whether his relatives are in a good mood. In my mind, my grandfather and grandmother are the most perfect model couple in the world, a model of love. Karin said angrily.

"yes, that's what I think too. Also, I really don't think that a breakup cannon will affect his old man's feelings for your grandmother, oops......"

Belat Meia continued: "There is nothing strange about it, little girl, isn't there often a merry emperor in Auckland's history? Especially with your Royal Dimahia family of the Holy Spring. Although there can only be one legitimate empress, are there not a few women who are regarded by the Privy Council and the princes as the second or third empress of His Majesty the Emperor by 'default', and who live above the court to give orders? Like the Marquise of Berry, the Countess of Pommorrah, the Countess of Grenard, and so on. Even the children born to them, as long as they are recognized by the Imperial Household Hall and the Noble Heraldic Academy, are regarded as the legitimate heirs of the Holy Springs and have the right to inherit the throne. If he had been in power at that time, this would not even be a problem. Such an example actually happened in the history of the Holy Spring Dynasty, right? ”

Of course, it happened, and because of this, there were hidden dangers in the succession to the throne. did not start a civil war because of this, which should already be regarded as a good performance of the character of the Holy Spring Royal.

"So, they did break up, didn't they?"

"Can you please stop saying that? Can you be a little particular in front of your child? "This time, it was the wind that was dissatisfied. I feel that she cares more about little Airy than Karin, could it be that she really substituted herself into the role of Dao Storm Invite Yue?

"Well, Emperor Gaius, I really had a passionate conversation with that Countess Merica, and we broke up peacefully, right?"

Karin thought it was like a human saying, though she always felt that something was wrong.

"I don't know if they really broke up. I, ah, am a mystic and hedonistic voyeur, but if people are not my followers, and do not recite my god's name while doing it, it will not be so easy for me to even want to see it. Belat Mea rightfully authentically.

...... "Did she just say that she was voyeuristic?"

"However, she did conceive a child, and indeed she was pregnant with Gaius's child." Belat Mea laughed.

Lu Xi couldn't help but sneak a glance at Karin, and after finding that the other party was struggling for a few seconds, he immediately sighed heavily, with a hint of exhaustion and helplessness - fortunately, he just sighed.

So, that explains a lot of things. Why did her maternal grandfather behave like this in the first place? An old man who loves his granddaughter can be forgiven for anything, isn't it? ”

"Grandfather?" Lu Xi was slightly stunned.

“…… The Grand Duke of Heramis was the maternal grandfather of the Countess Merika. Karin gritted her teeth.

Lu Xi suspected that Karin had just remembered it, because it took him nearly ten seconds to remember which "Grand Duke of Heramis" was. Isn't it the overlord army that pressed the territory back then, and Auckland had no soldiers to defend, the two or five boys who fooled Gaius the Great to activate the Belat Mea Golem? I remember that he was still the minister of the Holy Spring Royal Heraldic Academy or something, according to our Heavenly Empire, it is equivalent to a Zongren Order. Having said that, the "Zongren Order" of the Holy Auckland Empire was actually a believer in the Nightmare King, and this kind of bloody episode actually made Lu Xi spit out fiercely behind his back. Now I know that the hidden truth behind the original ...... It's even more bloody!

"Yes, what a naïve old man that guy named Heramis! He actually thought that as long as Estelle was eliminated, his granddaughter could sit on the throne of the queen. Of course, whether it is because of the status of the queen's maternal grandfather that makes her heartbroken, or for the love and happiness of her beloved granddaughter, or for the political stability of the empire, I am afraid that he can't even say it, right? In other words, it should be a little stained in all aspects. Belat Mea smiled and said, "How similar is this to what the man known as the purple-clothed prime minister did more than a thousand years ago." The only thing that has been learned from history, whether human or godlike, is that we always make the same mistakes. Isn't it? ”

Yes, it really deserves to be the royal family of the Holy Spring, the bloodline that is claimed to be blessed and cursed! However, most of the so-called "cursed" is because of the bloody male and female incidents that make people want to hit their heads and the even more bloody male ♂ and female incidents, which is really embarrassing. If Lu Xi hadn't heard a little bit of something else from the other party's words, he would have seemed to be tempted to spit out a lot.

In other words, the death of Parn by the oathbreaker was actually Theodoro's own initiative...... Knous the Great was completely unaware. Is that so? Lu Xi asked suddenly.

Belat Mea seemed to pause for a moment, and then said: "Oh, that kid from Knous, he has a bad stomach at a young age, but unlike Parn, his joys, sorrows and sorrows are written on his face." It's the type I'm not good at dealing with, and who knows what he's thinking in his bones. Maybe he knows everything, but he lets his people do their own thing. Let the people below take the blame and put themselves in a position that is always right and always bright, which is actually a necessary ability for a successful political figure. ”

"In other words, he is indeed unaware, right?" Lu Xi said in an almost completely sure tone, and then before Belat Mea could speak, he suddenly asked, "What happened to that Countess Merika?" ”

Of course, Lu Xi didn't ask her what the outcome would be—since Her Excellency the Countess had participated in that operation, she should naturally be one of the victims who died in the Dream Corridor.

"Later? And then you know. Knowing that her maternal grandfather had done such a wicked thing, Miss Merica volunteered to join the rescue team of Gaius the Great and entered this corridor of dreams. Belat Mea looked pity: "However, it makes me feel sorry that this girl clearly hates Estelle to the bone, and wants to break her to pieces, but she is a straight child." During the battle in the Dream Corridor, she had countless chances to sneak Estelle to death, but she gave up. In the end, he died fighting to save Istelle...... Naturally, the child in the womb will never have a chance to be born again. ”

The Nightmare King's tone was very flat, but Lu Xi had already made up 10,000 words of emotional entanglements and inner struggles in his mind in an instant. You know, every childhood sweetheart who was defeated by the Heavenly Descending Department would be strange if they all accepted the status quo calmly like the harem man in District 11. According to the development of reality, not carrying a firewood knife to the door is already a manifestation of magnanimity. However, as an Auckland knight, she still made the choice that most closely resembled a knight. To make up for the mistakes made by her maternal grandfather, she gave everything she had.

Although he had never been masked, thinking of that strong woman, Lu Xi felt a little embarrassed subtly. In addition, although she was also regarded as one of the famous ministers of Zhongxing, and there is a monument to her in the Cathedral of Santa Elena, I have not heard of any special nostalgia for her by Emperor Gaius. From this point of view, although Miss Merrijia gave her life and completed redemption in the most heroic way, she did not treat it as a cinnabar mole or a white moonshine. She represents a member of the childhood sweetheart team, and she doesn't even lose in front of the heavenly system...... But in this way, His Majesty the Sun King is really scumbag.

Lu Xi just thought about it, and then felt another pain in his back.

"I haven't said anything, why are you pinching me?"

"No, I was so angry just when I saw you, especially when this barbarian little girl and her brother of a third-rate funny artist showed such expressions!" Karin said angrily.

Well, it must be admitted that being able to get up close and personal with the black history gossip of the Holy Spring Royal was a pleasure for the two Nords present. Of course, Olivier is okay, out of the most basic "adult" emotional intelligence, he still has at least an embarrassed but polite smile on his face, but Artoria is completely "I want to laugh but I can't bear it", and her little face is completely white. This girl is destined to have nothing to do with such a thing as Chengfu in her life, and it is already very good to be able to do this.

"To be honest, it's more polite for you to laugh at this time." Lu Xi couldn't help but glance at Artoria, and then said: "So, you want to tell us that whether it was the one fifty years ago or the one a thousand years ago, someone did it on their own, and it has nothing to do with you, right?" ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people! Of course, it doesn't matter at all, and even if I did, you wouldn't believe it, would you? But at best, I'm just keeping silent and letting them do their thing. ”

"In the case of knowing everything?" Tempest sneered.

"I'm not Fein. The king of the night sky in the present day. The Nightmare King almost burst out laughing: "Do you expect an evil party and evil god like me to be like a kind and upright village magistrate, and do everything possible to persuade a person to abandon evil and promote good?" I'm the King of Nightmares, and I've seen so many people's hearts, little magicians, that I only understand one truth...... The human heart is always unpredictable, and it is uncontrollable. Do you know why Fein ended up like that? ”

"Because she doesn't understand people's hearts?" Lu Xidao.

Artoria suddenly felt a little pain in her knees, indicating that she looked confused.

"No, because she doesn't admit that the human heart is incomprehensible." Belat Mea sighed: "As for me, it would be very satisfying to watch mortals make countless wonderful dramas happen in this world every day because of their uncontrollable hearts and desires. I watched the twelve heroes rekindle the hope of mortals in a desperate situation, and I also felt my blood boiling; I am also satisfied with the endless flow of mortals rebuilding civilization from the ruins. But, in the same way, because of the incomprehensible human heart, the unfillable abyss in the human heart, countless calamities and catastrophes have also arisen because of it! Mortals who do this evil deed because of their own ignorance and greed, but who always call my name, seem to be so they are only deceived by me. Oh, such a contradiction, such a cowardice, but so cruel, this makes me even more happy! Just for the sake of such pleasure, it is not impossible to listen to their desires and satisfy their thoughts. ”

The Nightmare King laughed at this time, without a hint of evil, so clear that it did not carry any worldly impurities, like the most innocent child.

This smile is really beautiful to the extreme, and it is also clean to the extreme. For the first time, Lu Xi felt that even if he used his own business smile, he might lose, and then he understood why the other party would enter the final waiting list of "The Most Beautiful Goddess in the Heavenly Realm".

However, this smile scared Lu Xi out of a cold sweat.

He finally understood it now. This veteran female demon god of the so-called mystic, to put it bluntly, is just a people who eat melons with a bad taste who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. For Belat Mea, there really is no good or evil in this world, only interesting and uninteresting.

"In a sense, you're much more dangerous than Ramheed."

She nodded calmly: "Well, a lot of people say that. However, Fine told me that a woman with a secret is attractive, and a woman with a secret and dangerous is a woman among women. Although I think that the guy is purely talking, and she herself is obviously an overzealous virgin and has dragged herself to death, I am absolutely right about what she said. Now, little brother, do you feel like you're fascinated by me? ”

Okay, although I'm starting to be curious about your relationship with Fei Yin now, let's get down to business for now.

"Straight to the point. Oh, Tidlet's feud with the royal fountain of the Holy Spring, yes? Theodoro is a half-elf, you know. In fact, his elven bloodline comes from his great-grandmother, named Mary...... Gee, looks like you've got that name in mind. Well, that's right, it's the cult leader during the Qiming War, the enchantress queen who troubled the world. You know that she is the last leader of the Monist Sect, but few know that she is actually an elf, right? And he is also a descendant of the mortal elves, and his real name is Melohia Lin Ge. Yes, Lucy Lin Ge Berenkast's little friend, that's Lin Ge! ”
