Jace walked down the road.

Ahead was the inner palace of the royal court, where the old king lived, and he had entered the palace and was walking slowly on the white jade slab.

This is the important place of the royal palace, it is the place where the ministers of the Principality of the Holy Thorn Flower go to see the king every once in a while, extremely noble and dignified, usually no one dares to enter it to move forward wantonly, they are all bowed, looking extremely dignified and serious, Jace's behavior at this time is undoubtedly a violation of the rules of the royal court, if it is usual, even if Jace is the third prince of the principality, he will definitely be severely punished.

But no one came at this time, and no one dared to do Jace's duties.

Jace was holding a cross sword in his hand, wearing armor, and the blood on the blade kept dripping down drop by drop, it was the blood he had just killed many of the royal court guards.

He was going to see his father, the gray-haired, old-fashioned king.

There was a shout of killing all around, and the black-clad knights rushed into the palace, they did not loot on a large scale, but according to Jace's previous orders, they gathered together to kill the guards in the palace constantly, and completely dispersed those guards, killing them with fear, so that they could not organize an effective resistance again, causing trouble for the next matter.

There was a shouting and killing sound outside the city, accompanied by the noise and cries of countless people, and the excitement of the previous New Year's festival had disappeared at this time, and there was no trace of it.

Jace knew that the towers had followed his orders and began to storm the princes and princesses with a large number of city defenders, and began to slaughter on a large scale.

"With the secret hand I have set up in the mansion of my so-called brothers and sisters, my brothers and sisters, you can't escape, so you can all die honestly. Jace thought to himself.

He raised his head and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar palace in front of him, and his heart was a little uneasy.

He had been preparing for this operation for a long, long time.

Five years ago, he was already laying out.

Whether it was inside and outside the court, or the royal palace, or the city guards, or the wizards, or the forces that were once loyal to him, or in this seemingly unattainable, sacred palace that could not give birth to blasphemy in the heart, or the rest of the Holy Thorn Duchy, he had left too many things.

Yes, Jace was sure that after killing his father, the old king, he would be able to make a smooth transition and inherit the throne as the new king.

"I'm afraid everyone has forgotten that a few years ago, the third prince who was heroic, opened up the territory of the principality, set up great martial arts, and was versatile. ”

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince at that time was much more popular than His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince today, but my temporary silence was not for the sake of sinking forever. ”

A hint of inexplicability flashed in Jace's eyes, and he said, "It's been several years, I've waited enough, and ...... I've finally waited for it. ”

The wind blew, and Jace's armored body looked long and strong.

His red cloak danced in the wind.

Jace stretched out his hand, and with a slight force, pushed open the door to the main hall in front of him.

This was the king's bedchamber, where his father, the old king, lay and rested.

The main hall was dim and empty, except for the long curtains that floated slowly around it, making the surrounding environment seem extremely lonely.

A few of the chamberlains shivered, and they looked at Jace who pushed the door in, and let out a loud cry, and fell to the ground in fright, shivering.

Jace didn't have much expression on his face, his body moved, and the thick and brilliant energy energy flashed on the edge of his sword, slashing towards the chamberlains in the main hall.

Puff puff.

The attendants had little power to resist at all, so they could only be slaughtered by Jace, and in a matter of moments, the attendants fell to the ground, the blood slowly spreading on their bodies, and they were already too dead to die.

Jace turned, he was about to say something, but all he saw was the old king's full head of white hair and old face.

At some point, the old king had turned his head and was quietly looking at Jace.

In the dim hall, the old king's eyes were warm and bright, and they shimmered in the gloom like jewels of fine texture.

"Father. ”

Jace smiled, sword in hand, and walked over slowly.

Jace ...... Jace, I really didn't expect that I would be here, here to see you like this. The old king was very weak, and he spoke hoarsely, but it made his meaning clear.

"I didn't expect that either. ”

Jace stood at the old king's bed and said, "I'm sorry, father. ”

It was too dark all around, Jace lit the oil lamp, and the dim light spilled out, and the old king's old face was clearly visible, and everything became very clear.

"Jace, you shouldn't do anything like this. The old king's white eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said: "Even if you become a king, the price you have to pay is definitely not small, whether it is a compromise with other local forces, or the benefits promised to the nobles, everything is undoubtedly a heavy burden." ”

"I'm still young, I can be a king for decades, and when I become a king, I'll get everything back a thousandfold. ”

The corners of Jace's mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, now, please go on your way." ”

"Let's hit the road. ”

Crimson energy continued to wrap around Jace's cross sword, getting stronger and stronger, and Jace raised his hands slightly and slowly raised the cross sword.

The old king looked at Jace, his eyes warm, and there was not the slightest fear on his face.

"Jace, I'm curious, why did you do such a thing?" the old king asked faintly.

Jace was silent for a moment.

"Because, I have found that whether it is fame, status, authority, or wealth, it can all be lost, and only strength is the most sustainable thing. Jace's voice was a little deep, and he said, "As long as you have the most direct power, those things can be obtained at any time, and they can be lost at any time." ”

"So I don't want to wait, I just want to rely on myself. ”

Jace's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"It's because of the shadow given to you by His Highness the Duchy of Lionheart's Flame, and the influence of the assassin beside Eshik. The old king let out a long breath.

"Father, you know?"

Jace was surprised.

"There's a lot more I know. The old king suddenly had a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "Jace, it's good, really good, that you've been able to get this far. ”

"Over the past few years, you have been able to forbear, and you have been able to disguise. ”

"Very nice, really nice. ”

Jace listened to the old king's voice and felt something was wrong.

He didn't think about it, and the cross sword in his hand slashed towards the old king with a strong and sharp energy.

The void suddenly stretched out an old hand and gently grabbed the sharp blade of the cross sword, and those majestic energy and energy dispersed on their own as if ice melted when they met that hand.

"Your Highness, although your series of plans are very good, you really can't kill Your Majesty. ”

As an old voice sounded, an old man shrouded in purple robes and only a pair of purple eyes slowly emerged from the void.

It was as if he had never existed, just a simple shadow of disillusionment.

"Fourth-level true meaning!"

Jace felt some of the old man's breath slightly, and the expression on his face changed instantly.

The old man in front of him was a powerful fourth-level true meaning wizard.

"Damn!" Jace's heart was gloomy, he didn't say anything, the energy in his body immediately swollen, making the cross sword glow richly, and let out a buzzing sound, wanting to delay that fourth-level true intent for a moment, while his own body flashed in an instant, and he retreated towards the outside of the main hall.

In an instant, Jace vanished.

Things went unexpected, and things changed dramatically.

Jace's heart was gloomy.

He quickly gathered the black-armored knights and led them out of the palace, and after a brazen walk through the streets, Jace found the tower that had really led the city guards to slaughter the princes and princesses.

"Your Highness?" Tari looked at Jace who suddenly appeared, a little puzzled.

"Things have changed. ”

Jace said lightly.

He closed his eyes slightly, forcing himself to calm down.

No, he hasn't lost yet, even if there is a fourth-level true intent, but he still has a chance.

He couldn't participate in the contest between the fourth-level true intentions, and he couldn't do things in the palace, but he could do things outside the palace a little more thoroughly.

"Tari, next we will attack the mansion of my brothers and sisters more fiercely and violently, and we will kill everyone and leave no one behind!"

"And my brothers' illegitimate sons are also going to be killed!"

"Gather all the people, whether it is the city defense army or other black-armored knights, everyone's purpose is this, the fastest and fastest, I want them to kill everyone as quickly as possible!"

Jace said coldly.

He turned his head, looked coldly at the palace, and did not speak.

Not to mention the battles and contests between the fourth-level true intentions, not to mention the backhands and other arrangements he left behind, as long as he does a good job of things inside and outside the palace, he still has a chance.

Only he became the only son of the old king, and he was the next king!

Indisputable!

............

Palace.

In the main hall.

There was blood everywhere, and the smell of blood in the air was very scary, but the old king's eyes were shining, and he seemed very interested.

"Your Majesty, I'm curious, aren't you worried about taking off?" The purple-robed fourth-level true intent bowed slightly towards the old king to show his respect, and then he stood up, and after thinking about it, he asked.

"Jace has never let me down, either then or now. ”

"Especially now. ”

The old king whispered, his face glowing, and he looked at the purple-robed fourth-level true intent with a smug look in his eyes, and said, "Jace really deserves to be my son, he is very good, really good." ”

"Okay. ”

The purple-robed wizard was a little speechless, but he could understand the old king's mood at this time.

"It's just, Your Majesty, you use a prince from the previous dynasty to ......," the purple-robed wizard considered the words and said, "Isn't it a little bold?" ”

"Eshick. ”

The old king was in poor health, but at this time, he ignored his own body, laughed, and said, "Eich, he is also very good, really good. ”

"Really, I want to thank him, thank him. ”

"Don't worry, no problem, Eich has always been in control, he can't escape, he can't escape. ”

"That's just a little guy, just a prince from a previous dynasty. ”

The old king was in a good mood and said, "Shuk, don't forget, I am a king, and I am an old king who has been a king for decades." ”
