CH.18 Bloodstained Imperial City
Jack leaned on his throne, quietly thinking about the question before him. He was caught in an infinite loop and shook his head helplessly.
After some struggle, he decided to listen to his sons' advice, after all, sooner or later, the country would be theirs. He was about to summon Amado and Eren when he thought of something else.
Previously, he put down a rebellion on the border and killed none other than the elder brother of Amado's mother. Jack himself was a little sorry for the guy to be honest, because the general rebelled not because of anything else, but purely to avenge his sister and get carried away. But a rebellion is a rebellion after all, and Jack should only go to crusade against him, but the royal expedition is only to protect his family.
He felt that he was really tired of being the emperor, and he began to inexplicably feel that this emperor was enough. He slapped his chair, feeling like he was going to relax. He suddenly remembered his eldest brother's daughter, and he still had his own selfish intentions in keeping her alive, the first was that Jack saw the shadow of his wife in her, they were so similar. The second is that this family is a descendant of the previous royal family, and the emperor of New Mortick must choose the descendant of this family as the descendant.
After thinking about it again, I decided to include her as the new queen, after all, it is not realistic for me to be a woman by the emperor's side, and the important thing is the second one, which can appease the original royal family and show the majesty of the emperor.
So he hurriedly brought Troy from below, and paced around expectantly. As a man, he is still a man with supreme rights, and he feels that he should be happy after being suppressed for so long.
After a while, Troy was escorted up, and because she was going to meet the emperor, she was also allowed to bathe, and changed into a clean dress, and her black hair was neatly draped behind her. She wears a delicate pair of flails on her hands, and the gilded pattern is also a match for the royal family, and the nobles of this empire are also decent even if they are prisoners of the ranks, but only on the bright side.
She slowly stepped forward, knelt down gently, and "hibernated" on the ground like her five bodies throwing herself to the ground. Jack remembered what he had just thought and whispered.
"Look up."
Troy raised his head slightly, shook his hair slightly, and the strands of hair fluttered like willow branches. Her eyes were full of awe, but her heart was eager to go up and kill him immediately. She pretended to be weak and said: "Your Majesty, the little girl mentioned that her father asked you for her guilt, and she knew that her sin was unforgivable, and she waited for your fate. ”
Jack really saw the shadow of his wife in the woman in front of him, and he couldn't wait to say, "You guys should step back first." ”
The minister who brought Troy looked at Jack in bewilderment, but Jack's close guards did give him a look, and he immediately retreated, and the guards left the room.
"No, I also feel a little sorry for your father and aunt, but it must be unforgivable for him to rebel directly, and I can't save him. But you are innocent, I am not a tyrant, there is no need to learn from those popes or something, I can't bear it. Don't worry, you won't be in danger, for their sake, I will take good care of you. Jack said majestically.
Troy pretended to be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace not to kill, the little girl will repay Your Majesty even if she is a cow and a horse." ”
"No, you know I don't have a queen now. I feel sorry for your aunt, so I want to make you the queen, how about it? To tell you the truth, I seem to have seen your aunt's shadow in you, and the emperor also said that the queen would appoint a woman from your family, which can be regarded as a multiplicity. Jack looked at Troy with a smile.
Troy was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be frightened and uneasy, and refused again and again. He waited for Jack's request again, while secretly surveying his surroundings.
"Aren't you giving me face?" Jack exclaimed.
"The little girl doesn't dare." Troy hurriedly bent down, his voice trembling slightly.
"Then it's decided, I'll do the post-establishment ceremony tomorrow, don't worry, I will take care of you, and I will never let the tragedy happen again." Jack walked down the stairs and picked her up with ease with his strong arms. Jack looked at Troy's flushed face, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He couldn't wait to throw her on the bed, hugged her in his arms like a wolf, and caress her delicate skin wantonly. Troy also pretended to be shy to cater to it, but his mind was sober and waiting for the opportunity. Although she felt disgusted inside, the desire for revenge suppressed her anger.
Jack felt that he was a little unworthy of his imperial status, and instead softly stripped off Troy's clothes, he wrapped around her slender waist from behind, his hands gently pinched her plump breasts, and entered into perfect vocal harmony again and again in the alternating gasps of the two.
He manipulated Troy's body wantonly, and he put her right in front of him, only to find that the flail on her hand was inexplicably in the way. He opened the crystal, drew a thin sword from the crystal, and he got up and stabbed the lock of the flail, and with a "click", the flail was split in half.
Troy broke free, and she immediately lay down in front of Jack, and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I have a secret to tell you. Her hand caressed Jack's sword-gripping hand, restlessly stroking back and forth.
"What, my queen." Jack let his guard down completely.
"Uh...... Your Majesty, I'm a little scared when you hold the sword, so put it away first. Troy said.
"Oh. You say, I'll put it away. Jack slowly inserted the thorn of the rapier back into the crystal, the hilt facing Troy.
Troy gently stroked Jack's face, and when he put his sword halfway through, Troy suddenly exerted force, pressed Jack's mouth, quickly pressed him to the bed, and quickly grabbed Jack's sword with his other hand, stabbing his crystal fiercely.
Jack hurriedly broke free from Troy's suppression, but was directly pierced through the heart by a sharp blade, Jack shouted loudly, but the guards outside were afraid of mistaking His Majesty's good deeds and disagreed. Troy then stabbed him in the throat with a sword, and Jack said contemptuously to the other breath.
"Go to hell."
She looked at the breathless Jack with a terrible smile, and the sword in her hand slowly turned into powder with the crystal, sprinkled in his blood. She quickly jumped out of the window and ran to Allen's castle.
Amado was unable to sit still, and he had to find a way for his father to solve the immediate problem as soon as possible. He decided to think about it again and again, and decided to go to his father to have a good talk.
He hurried to his father's castle, and had just reached the bedroom door when he heard a scream. He immediately pushed open the door and saw Serega kneeling in front of his father's bed, where his father had closed his eyes.
Amado was stunned for a moment, then pushed Selega aside fiercely, and lay on his father's body and cried. Serega curled up on the floor and sobbed silently.
"Who is it?" Amado shouted angrily, he rushed out of the door angrily, and immediately lifted the guards at the door, and asked angrily: "How did you guards behave, don't you even know that Your Majesty was assassinated?" ”
The guards seemed to have come to an enlightenment, the hairs on their faces stood on end, and their legs trembled. He muttered a confession: "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned......"
He slammed the guard to the ground and asked, "What happened just now, to tell the truth, be careful that I kill your whole family and bury my father!"
The guards were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and Amado became even more angry, and drew his retinue's sword and slashed him in half.
"Capture his whole family, and deal with the assassins when they are caught!" Amado angrily threw the knife aside and walked quickly back to his father's room.
He didn't care about Serega, who was sobbing on the side, and quietly observed his father's body. He found that the crystal on his father's hand had been completely shattered, and the remaining crystal had stab marks on it, and there were two small but fatal penetrating wounds on his body. This means that the assassin destroyed the crystal first to kill his father, but the guards who attacked the door three times in a row did not notice it, so something was wrong.
He turned his gaze to Serega, and he lifted her hair fiercely and asked, "Don't cry dead girl, do you know that the father was killed by that bastard?" What are you doing at such a late hour?"
"Elder brother, my father said that he couldn't sleep, so I asked me to come and talk to him...... But as soon as I entered the door, I saw my father's ...... "Serega cried like a tearful man, and still couldn't accept the fact that my father was gone."
Amado put all the clues together, and he seemed to understand the truth. He slapped Silega on the face like a pear blossom with rain, and she was stunned at first, and looked at Amado with a wooden expression.
"Dead girl! Why did you kill your father! You bastard, he's your father! Amado gritted his teeth.
"Brother, what are you talking about, my father loves me so much, why should I ......" Serega anxiously defended.
"You can see for yourself, if it was an outsider, the guards would not have found out, and it must have been someone my father trusted who killed him. After all, his father is not a vegetarian, how can ordinary people get close to him so smoothly? Look at the wounds on his body, if they are exactly the same as the weapon in your crystal!" Amado slipped Seregati alive to Jack's bed.
"No...... I didn't ......" Serega cried even harder, hugging Amado's thighs tightly.
Yamado kicked her aside and shouted, "Catch her!" His retinue also savagely walked up and set up Serega, waiting for the future new emperor to continue to give orders.
"Throw her into the dungeon first, recruit the minister of civil and military affairs to come to the court quickly, and deal with the aftermath for her father is the top priority!" He commanded majestically, as if he was already the emperor of Mortick at this moment.
"I didn't...... I didn't ......" Serega was dragged down, and as her feeble explanation faded away, Amado smiled slightly at Jack's body.
Troy hurried to Allen's castle, and Alan was just about to go to bed when he saw a disheveled man running in despite the guards' obstruction. Taken aback, he told the guards to step back, put his arm around Troy, and asked, "How did you get out and what happened?"
Troy said anxiously: "Your Highness Allen, something has happened to Your Majesty...... He was assassinated. ”
"What?" Alan said in a trance.
"Listen to me calmly, tonight Your Majesty came to interrogate me, and suddenly the lights went out, and a woman walked in and was about to kill Your Majesty, and Your Majesty protected me and pushed me out of the window, and I was stabbed with a sword. It's all my fault, I should stand in front of His Majesty...... I am afraid that my sins will not be redeemed even more....... Troy fell in front of Allen and cried.
"It's not your fault." Alan touched Troy's head, "You can rest here for a while, I'll go to my father's place now." ”
"Well, be safe...... "Troy instructed uneasily.
"Got it." Alan half-crouched down and kissed her gently, turned around and put on his coat and went out quickly. He didn't know that the woman he liked was his father's killer, and he didn't know that his comfort to her was only her contemptuous smile.
Alan hurried to his father's castle, and when he saw that the ministers of civil and military affairs were almost gathered, he knew that his good brother should have known, and he had not notified himself, and his best people did not seem to have received the notice. He was very angry, but he could only swallow his anger, and now he has no ability to compete for the throne.
He walked up to Amado's side and asked straight to the point, "Big brother, what about my father...... I know who killed my father, did he catch it?"
Amado was not surprised at all, not informing him was just a warning to him, he thought that someone would definitely inform him, but in fact his close friends were still asleep.
"Who else, your precious sister!" Amado suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be extremely sad. Now he is not only about to become the emperor, but he is also about to get rid of the daughter of an enemy, and it will be easy for this younger brother to destroy this Dongjian.
"Did you say Serega? How can it be? Whoever sees it, I know that you have always hated our queen mother, but I will not spare you if you accuse Serega!" As if he had been touched, Eren pressed his throat and threatened Amado.
"I'm not wronged, I have evidence, you can see for yourself, my father must have been killed by someone close to him, otherwise it would be impossible for the people at the door at that time to be unresponsive. When I arrived, she was there, and the weapon she used to kill her father was the same as the rapier she carried in the crystal of her ice spirit. Amado knew that Serega couldn't do that, but she could only consider herself unlucky.
"It's impossible for her to hurt her father, you know it in your heart!" Alan said anxiously.
"Hell knows what this damn girl thinks. Oh, was it instigated by your friend Seth? Amado smirked.
"Impossible is impossible, I still suspect that you killed my father! You're also someone close to him, you're present at the same time, and your crystals are exactly like hers!" Alan suddenly felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and he angrily lifted Amado's collar and shouted, and the ministers of civil and military affairs also gathered their eyes.
"I'm my father's own son, how could I kill my father?" Amado provoked.
"Isn't Serega the daughter of her father?" Alan felt like he couldn't hold his fists anymore.
"Not necessarily, maybe you're the one who crossed out with some wild man?" Amado said deliberately raising his voice.
"Damn it!!" Eren punched Amado in the face, and the eyes on his face were blown out by a punch.
Amado's guards quickly helped him up, and Amado shouted angrily: "Don't you want to live anymore, my father has died, and I am the new Motic Emperor, do you know?" ”
"And what do you want?" Alan asked with a breath.
"I want your life!" Amado shouted hatefully.
"Then take it, if you have the ability." Eren didn't let the crystal touch at all, and the purple aura filled the castle, and he approached Amado and his guards step by step.
Brown saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly walked between the two: "What are you doing?" Why? Your Majesty just left, you are like this, he didn't come back to scold you without dreams!"
"Yes. You kid pay attention. Monsieur Brandi, you have to worry about your father's business. Amado patted his clothes, glared at him fiercely, turned and left.
"You too, I will prove her innocence, you dare to touch her, I tell you that there is no good fruit for you to eat." Alan also replied with a color, he would rather not have this emperor than protect his only remaining relatives. Alan thought so and left the castle thoughtfully.
Ian sat in the corner of the hotel lobby eating breakfast while chatting with Scarlett.
"Last night was really thrilling, the Z2 here felt that the game was amazing, and you woke up in time." Ian whispered.
"It's not because of your food." Scarlett muttered angrily.
"I think I'm still very good now, and the integration of the two of us is about to break 20%." Ian bragged.
"Heh, don't be so happy, I think we have to keep fighting and reach 100% as soon as possible, I don't think it's that simple. Because I haven't seen that big thing last night. Scarlett said worriedly.
"You're talking about Z2, right? You said that the intruders are all things from your planet, so how did this Z2 come about, and that Mikanel should belong to a creature like you, right? Ian asked, puzzled.
"Yes, we are like evolved creatures, humans and monsters. But these things are like the walking dead, without a consciousness of their own. Who made these things?" Scarlett was also confused, recalling her previous memories.
"Could it be the product of the Apos Group, otherwise how would they know about you?" Ian has always been suspicious of Phoenix.
"I think that person is still alive, so we can't take it lightly." Scarlett said.
"What?" Ian gulped down on bread.
"It's okay, you can eat yours! I want to eat too......" Scarlett muttered bitterly.
"Oops, it smells so good." Ian cocked Erlang's legs.
"Get out." Scarlett never replied.
Ian also finished breakfast quickly, and was about to go back to the room, when he heard a call from Alan. As soon as he picked it up, he heard Alan's anxious voice.
"Ian, I need you to do me a favor."
