After the Shadow Curse was broken, Atticas could no longer sleep. He begged to stay by Jia Zhengjin's side to avoid further assassinations.

Jia Zhengjin was also not sure if the other party would make a move, so he agreed to Atticas to his house, and the two sat facing each other until dawn.

Tina, who slept well, didn't know what happened during the night, but when they woke up, they were surprised to hear that they had been attacked last night.

At about 5:40 a.m., a palace guard came to the hotel, saying that they had invited Prince Atticas, the mercenary Martin Payton and his companions to the palace.

Everyone did not delay, and immediately set off, leaving the hotel and taking a carriage straight to the palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is still freshening up, please wait!" the guards who brought them over arranged for people to take to the temporary rest room outside the palace, "There are all kinds of delicacies prepared here, you eat first." ”

The room has a large rectangular table surrounded by ornate stools.

On top of the beautiful tablecloth, there are foods, fruits, and drinks that are unique to the country of Normia.

After the palace guards went out, Christina couldn't wait to run to the table, because breakfast hadn't been eaten yet!

Jia Zhengjin and the others also sat down one after another, looking at the food on the table.

Atticas was actually hungry too, so he reached out and grabbed what seemed to be a delicious bread on the plate in front of him.

Christina had already picked it up and nibbled on it several times, and it looked delicious.

It's just that when Atticas wanted to eat, Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What's the matter?" Atticas wondered, why didn't he let himself eat something? He was going to meet the king in a moment, father and son had met for the first time in more than twenty years, and he was so nervous that he couldn't eat enough.

"Something is poisonous!" Jia Zhengjin said softly.

Hearing this, Atticas paused for a moment.

When I turned my head to look, I saw Tina, Perrin, and Epar all eating bread like no one else, not to mention Christina, whose foodie nature was exposed, and she began to nibble on fruit before she finished eating the bread.

Only Amy and Olivia heard this and silently put down the food in their hands.

"Aren't they eating too?" asked Atticas suspiciously, his gaze falling on Jia Zhengjin's hand on the other side.

It turned out that Jia Zhengjin also picked up the bread and nibbled as he spoke: "We can eat it, but you can't." ”

"Why?" Atticas was anxious, "You still eat poison, you must be lying to me!"

"If you are not afraid of death, eat it. Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "I don't care anyway!"

Atticas looked suspiciously at Tina and the others, who were eating happily, and then at Amy and Olivia, who took out food from their pockets, with question marks on their faces.

If it's poisonous, why do they eat it, and if it's not poisonous, why do the other two eat the food they brought?

It stands to reason that this team shouldn't be able to deceive themselves, right?

But I just can't figure it out, why do they still eat so happily because of poison?

"Don't look at us," Jia Zhengjin reached under the table, took out safe food from his virtual backpack and handed it over, "pretending not to know anything." A few of us have eaten some exotic fruits, so immune to toxins. The two of them haven't eaten, of course, they can't touch it. As for you, don't touch anything on the table if you don't want to die. ”

Atticas was suspicious, reached out to take the food handed by Jia Zhengjin, and looked outside cautiously: "Why is food poisonous?"

"It's very simple," Jia Zhengjin continued to nibble on the poisoned bread, "First, the king doesn't want you to live, he wants you to disappear forever, so that this secret will disappear forever; These are the only two possibilities!"

"If His Majesty doesn't want me to live, why protect our mother and son for so many years?" Atticas shook his head, "Impossible!"

"That's a lot of work. Jia Zhengjin nodded, "In this way, it seems that there is still the existence of the queen's power around the king, and he has not found out the other party." ”

"What then?" Atticas tensed.

"All I have to do is send you to the king, and then it's a matter of your own father and son. Jia Zhengjin glanced down at the bread, "It tastes good, I don't know if I can get the recipe." ”

"Do you mean after the poison, or not with the previous recipe?" asked Apar, turning his head.

She is a god, and of course she is not afraid of this ordinary poison.

"I want them all," Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "I'll have to ask where this bread comes from." ”

"Hey, you're worried about my safety!" Atticas was so anxious, his opponent was in the palace, and he dared to poison the king when he saw it, why did these mercenaries still look relaxed?

"Aren't you very safe?" Jia Zhengjin glanced at him, "Don't worry, we will let you meet the king in peace." As for the rest of the matter, it's up to your father and son. ”

"Don't~" Atticas said hurriedly, "The people on the other side are so frustrated, they dare to poison here, I'm afraid ......"

"Then don't you see the king? We will send you away and never come back, and when the time comes, you will not be afraid of being killed!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.

"How's that going to ......" Atticas knew that the other party was joking, but he was quite depressed.

"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin put down the bread in his hand, "Although there may be a queen power around the king, he will definitely not let you go for the sake of consolidating the status of the eldest prince." But the king is not supposed to be a fuel-efficient lamp either. If he is bent on protecting you, he believes that you are safe. It just so happens that I didn't poison you this time, and it is also an opportunity to thoroughly investigate the lurkers around the king. As soon as he meets the king, he only needs to tell the truth, and he will thoroughly investigate the people involved in this matter and find out more people behind the scenes. The people of the queen's power should be out of proportion now, so they will be desperate to resort to such a strategy. Although if you succeed, you will have to stop as long as you are dead and the king will be angry again, but now it has become a tail, and you can pull them out at any time. ”

"What if...... What if His Majesty does not investigate this matter thoroughly?" asked Atticas nervously.

That means he knows about it, but lets the other party go. Jia Zhengjin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if you stay, you will die soon." It means that he has compromised with the other party, which is not a good ending. ”

"Gollum~" Atticas swallowed when he heard this, his body trembled slightly, "No, no, won't, I'm his own son after all......"

"Between the royal family, many times for the sake of interests, you can give up family affection at will, which is normal. Jia Zhengjin shrugged and said.

"So, if that's the case, can you please send me out safely?" asked Atticas hurriedly.

"In that case, we can take you with us for the time being, and drop you off in other countries. Jia Zhengjin replied, "But you have to pay extra, and it must be a price that can impress me." ”
