The bright red liquor seeped into the scarlet carpet, making the dark red that had been like solidified blood suddenly come alive, as if fresh blood had been replenished into the room.

It's just that Duke Long Tide can't see this scene clearly, in fact, his vision is blurred now, and even Princess Sophia, who is standing in front of him, can only see a vague approximation.

He trembled all over, and a seven-foot man of such a size was curled up in pain like a cooked prawn.

"You...... You're in the wine...... What did you put it?", he said with all his strength, and said in a staccato manner, his hand groping forward, grasping Princess Sophia's leg.

"Is it because your body is too strong? It's a poison that can kill people, but you can still stand it. Princess Sophia did not dodge, her voice was very calm, even calm to the point of indifference.

"You...... You...... Why?", Count Rontide mustered up his last strength and looked up at Princess Sophia, his eyes full of confusion, confusion, and of course, resentment.

"Why do you have to hold on like this? Princess Sophia shook her head, "It will only make you more miserable." ”

Count Dragontide didn't speak, or he didn't even have the strength to speak. He just held on to his last breath, his bloodshot eyes staring at Princess Sophia like a demon in hell.

"Don't you want to die without looking at yourself? Princess Sophia said, looking into his eyes.

"The reason why I did this is very simple, in fact, I am the mastermind behind the plot to start this rebellion and rebel against the Violet Family, how can I let you interfere with the morale of the Northern Army. It's just a little bit closer, and the Northern Army will be able to reign in Shenghui City. ”

"And those generals and soldiers of the Northern Army are still loyal to the Falcon family, how can I let you appear in front of them. ”

Earl Dragontide's eyes widened even wider, as if their sockets were about to split. He kept making "gurgling" sounds in his throat, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and finally asked three words vaguely: "Why?"

"Why would they be loyal to the Falcon family but still betray the kingdom and the royal family?", as if she had a heart in her heart, Princess Sophia knew what Count Longtide was asking.

"Because the Duke of Reinhardt has died, the heir he appointed has ordered a rebellion, and the whole north can only obey. ”

"Giggles. Count Rontide really couldn't say a word, all the green tendons on his body came out, but the trembling hand still clung to Princess Sophia's ankle, as if he would not give up.

"Don't you believe it?Why would Duke Reinhardt choose someone else to inherit the Falcon family and the Northland, but give you up as the rightful heir?", Princess Sophia said as if she didn't feel any pain at all, "It's all come to this, I'll let you die in peace." ”

"Duke Reinhardt was seriously injured when he fought the dark elves as a teenager, and he was still childless until the prime of life, and as a result, rumors have been circulating that Duke Reinhardt has lost his fertility because of that serious injury. ”

"But suddenly one day, Duke Reinhardt had an heir. At first, some conspiracy theorists speculated that he was just the son of a moth, and rumors spread for a while. Then in the following days, the Duke of Reinhardt has always loved and doted on this heir, and with the testimony of having a midwife, everyone slowly believed that the Falcon family really had an heir. ”

"Even my father believes this, after all, if it weren't for you, who would really be able to inherit the Falcon family? After all, Duke Reinhardt has cultivated you as an heir for so many years. ”

"For this reason, my father has paid for his daughter, in order to win over the future heir of the North. ", Princess Sophia said sarcastically.

Unfortunately, he made two mistakes, the first being that he underestimated the Duke of Reinhardt's control over the North. Even with the days running out, the Falcon Duke was able to smoothly transition power to his chosen heir, even if the heir was previously unknown. ”

"The second point was that he had never really recognized the Falcon Duke. This duke has never had a heart with the royal family, and all the tame and loyalty he has shown before are just acting. After learning that he would not be able to have children, he came up with the idea of the Son of the Moth, fearing civil strife in the North. Upon learning that the false son had come together with the royal family, he did not hesitate to abandon him, instead choosing an heir from among the distant relatives of the Reinhardt family. ”

"It's ridiculous, isn't it, getting along day and night, the father-son relationship that is close to each other, in the end, it still can't withstand the desire for power and the shallow, I don't know a little bit of blood relationship separated by generations. ”

"Hehe, this is the so-called aristocracy, even the Duke of Reinhardt, who is praised as the first general of the kingdom, is no exception. Princess Sophia sneered contemptuously.

She said a lot, at first perhaps really to make Count Longtide die in peace, but later it became a kind of catharsis for herself. It was only when she had spoken it all in one breath that he found Count Rontide lying motionless on the ground, already breathless.

Perhaps it was Princess Sophia's final revelation that the cold and cruel truth shattered the bubble-like false father-son relationship that had lasted for thirty years. This deepest despair finally extinguished the last breath of this battle-hardened iron warrior.

Or maybe he was already disappointed in the world and didn't want to stay for a minute or a second, so he finally stopped holding on and was no longer nostalgic.

Or perhaps, the moment he knew that the poisoner was Princess Sophia, he was dead.

Princess Sophia was silent for a long time, and she slowly lowered her body. Count Dragontide, who had grabbed his ankle, slowly broke it apart one by one. Five large blue and purple handprints were pinched out on the ankles that were originally white jade, which looked extremely ugly, but Princess Sophia didn't seem to pay attention.

She stared blankly at Count Rontide lying on the ground, and after a while muttered to herself, "Why...... When I wanted you to stay, you wouldn't listen?"

Her upper body joined with Count Dragontide who had fallen to the ground, and from above, it seemed as if both of them had melted into the red underneath them.
