Chapter 515: Duel
Carol stood in the way of Vega.
The spectators in the square shouted in anticipation of this duel.
After all, for the crowd watching the excitement, a good fight is far more interesting than a boring ceremony, although many of the more intelligent people know that it is a trick directed and performed by the royal family, but this does not prevent them from watching the ceremony.
However, this matter is known only to the parties concerned.
Today's play is not a farce, let alone a means to increase influence, but a hidden conspiracy that is not written in the wedding process book at all.
Vega looked at the wedding planner on the high platform.
But the precinct didn't notice Vega's eyes at all at this time, he was sweating profusely trying to explain something to Ocassos, but in exchange for Ocassos's sneer, of course he couldn't listen to the words of a little wedding precinct and cancel the game that had been set up so hard.
This game can start with that political deal.
Although the political deal seemed to be Viga's gains, and he only sought to obtain a 'Saint Laurent' surname for 'Carol', in fact Vega only gained more political benefits than Ocassos in the short term.
This transaction should be seen in the context of the current scene.
As long as Carol can defeat Vega and even kill Vega in a duel, then Vega will inevitably lose her qualification to marry the Queen. In the case that the former noble families were all condemned to death for treason by Vega because they defected to the great prince, who else in this dynasty is qualified to marry the queen except Carol, a recipient of the surname 'Saint Laurent'?
Everything is logical.
When Vega died in battle, it was the end of this wedding, although this would take a certain blow to the prestige of the royal family, but when this turmoil gradually subsided, Carol, the only qualified to marry the queen, would become a prince in the future.
Carol has always been unscrupulous, and he is his apprentice, and Ocasus is not afraid that he will be self-respecting and plot against the dynasty.
When the time comes, with no one stopping him, he will complete his mission to assist Xiya to become a generation of Ming Jun.
It doesn't matter if Vega doesn't die.
A general who is unable to marry the queen because he has been defeated by the guardian knight will inevitably become the laughing stock of the dynasty, in which case he has lost the qualification to control the entire holy dynasty, and at best can only survive in the dynasty.
When he figured out Vega's back hand, it was when Vega died.
Of course, the innocent Thea didn't know all this.
She just desperately wanted to stop this duel ceremony: "Grandpa Ocasos, why is there no duel ceremony in my wedding process book, and please cancel this ceremony as soon as possible, this is not in line with the flow of today's wedding at all." β
"Your Majesty forgives your sins. β
Ocassos bowed to Xia: "The old minister was confused for a while and made a mistake about the process of the wedding, but now he has to send an arrow, and rashly stopping this duel may affect the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince-to-be, and even make the commoners think that His Royal Highness the Prince-to-be is just a false appearance, which is not enough to ensure your safety and the future of the dynasty." β
"But...... But ......"
Xia still wanted to say something, but Ocasus seemed to foresee Xiya's words, and returned in advance: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince-to-Be, you should know that this duel ceremony has always been just a good show for the royal family to increase its prestige, I believe that Carol has her own sense of proportion in her heart, and she will not really fight with His Royal Highness the Prince-to-be." β
"Grandpa Ocassos, is this true?"
Receiving Ocassos's assurance, Thea relieved her mind a little.
For Thea, although Carol is no longer trusted by her, Ocassos and Saint Laurent XVIII were close friends during their lifetimes and loyal courtiers of the dynasty, so they can still be trusted.
If Vega is number one in her heart, then Ocasos is probably number two.
Therefore, Ocassos's appeasement also made Thea stop talking, she didn't suspect Ocassos's bad intentions for Vega at all, but she was silently worried about Vega in her heart, hoping that this battle would end soon.
Vega is not as naΓ―ve as Thea.
He had realized that this was a game against him, and even he had never imagined that Ocasus's trap had been set on the wedding day, and now he had no way to ride the tiger.
It's hard to really ride a tiger.
Just as Ocasos could not have prevented the marriage from taking place under the circumstances, Vega certainly could not cancel the duel ceremony without taking it upon himself to do so.
Once canceled.
Civilians will think that Vega's strength and courage are insufficient, which directly affects Vega's personal evaluation, not to mention, once Ocasos makes a big fuss at this time, today's marriage is likely to collapse directly because of a small detail.
Other words.
He had to get the better of Carroll.
"It's really hard to prevent. β
Vega didn't even know that there was such a ritual in the dynasty at this time, and thought that it was added by Ocasus on an improvised basis.
Whether it was impromptu or not, Vega knew he had to do it.
Compared with the three heavy punches of the empire, the game set by Ocasos is not only petty, but also a little unsightly.
At the end of the day, Carol was his loser.
What's more, his strength has increased considerably now, and although his subordinates still haven't found a suitable mid-level shadow magic for him, the abundant magic and spiritual power are enough for him to use his combat skills and magic to the fullest.
Don't forget.
Vega also has a Tempest Sword in his hand, as well as an eerie and peerless Shadow Magic.
With so many means, Vega thinks that he may not have the slightest chance of winning against the star mage Ocassos, but against the last Carol, he can't torture and kill as much as he wants?
But at this moment, Carol showed an icy smile.
A withered arm covered with runes slowly emerged from his long sleeves, and he grasped a cross-sword that exuded an ancient aura, and he said hysterically to Vega, "I've been waiting for this day for too long, I'm going to kill you!
Crazy killing intent.
Absolute self-confidence.
Although the cheers of the audience almost overshadowed Carol's words, Vega still listened to it sincerely, and he could see the killing intent and confidence of the other party from this sentence and Carol's expression.
What exactly gave Carol the confidence to defeat him, even threaten to kill him?
The answer is already self-evident -
The withered arm covered in runes, and the cross-sword in his hand that was at least above the middle rank.
These two things really made Vega feel the aura of danger.
But what needs to be known is -
It's just a dangerous breath!
