542 Second Prince
The princess finally stopped her grief, but her eyes were still full of grievances: "Do you really want him to die so much?" The second prince wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally softened: "Mother, you have also seen the form in the palace now, it's not that I want him to die, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at that throne, even if I don't have this mind, it's hard to guarantee that others don't." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć InfoYes, I hate him, but I assure you that he will never die at my hands. ā
The second prince's words were not finished, but looking at his mother's increasingly anxious and dim eyes, he really couldn't bear to say more, so he casually thought that she had made a promise to comfort the weather-beaten heart.
The princess sobbed again and said, "Is he really going to die? As soon as this sentence came out, she herself knew that she was wrong, could she not know her son's character as a mother?
Although the second prince was born to himself and Theodore, the strange thing is that he actually had a very pure blood clan blood flowing in his body, and even she once took a drop of the second prince's blood back to the cursed valley for the prince of the blood clan to identify, and the result came to an astonishing conclusion, the second prince's blood is so pure that it is outrageous, I am afraid that it is second only to the queen back then.
This is not at all what a mixed-blood blood clan should have, but the miracle just happened, but it made some nobles of the blood clan have a rumor in favor of their own clan, it is said that the blood clan is the descendant of the gods, and the royal family of Calais also flows with the blood of the gods, and the combination of the two pure blood gods inspires the pure divine blood.
For this reason, there have been small disagreements within the blood clan, and a considerable number of people believe that such a pure blood clan should no longer stay in the royal palace of Calais, and should be cultivated in the first place. While others think that his stay in the palace is the most crucial step in the blood clan's years of planning, if he is welcomed back now for bloodline reasons, it will only make years of hard work go to waste.
In the end, the blood clan let him stay in Calais for the sake of a multi-year plan, which even the princess as a mother did not know very well, but knew that her son was of pure blood. When she was looking for ancient books for her son, she got the help of the blood clan openly and secretly, which allowed the second prince to have a collection of exercises no less than any temple, and it was also rumored that he was bent on learning and had no intention of kingship, of course, this rumor was so beneficial to him, how could it really spread unintentionally?
Years of forbearance and caution, beware of the poison of others, and at the same time pretending to be well-behaved and pitiful, to win the sympathy of the palace people, over time he has a different temperament, making people feel that he is so peaceful and calm, like a piece of crystal, pure and heartbreaking. And his gestures naturally reveal a bookish atmosphere, as if all utilitarianism is just floating clouds, he just wants a quiet corner, so that he can find Yan Yu in the book, with this temperament, coupled with his beautiful face than a woman, it makes people feel extra cordial when they meet.
But with such a bloodline, how can it really be so indifferent? The seeds planted in the bottom of his heart many years ago have been growing all the time, and finally grew a poisonous weed that spreads all over the world, coupled with the bloodline, his character has also inherited the feminine and vicious of the blood clan, and there is still a very stubbornness hidden in that femininity, as long as he believes in things, it is almost impossible to change, and it is rare to be able to make him a guarantee, and now he begs him to save the life of the person he hates the most in his heart.
The princess's face became more and more pale, and her tears couldn't stop falling, causing the second prince to sigh, but she didn't say anything more. Because he knew how deep the relationship between his mother and Theodore was, although he had complained in his heart for so many years, he could never give up, so even if he wanted her own life, she would not do anything to hurt the other party.
It was already a huge blow to her to let her witness Theodore's painful death in misery, and if she added more bad words, I was afraid that my mother would not be able to bear the blow. The second prince finally relented, which was rare in his life, and he could only make such a big concession to his mother.
"Now that my mother already knows the cause of his illness, I think you must have a way to relieve the effects of drunken dreams and death. I just can't do anything else. Sometimes just a reminder is a life, and the princess's eyes finally rekindled a ray of hope, and she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and rushed to the door of the west side hall desperately.
"Mother, be slow," the second prince's voice sounded behind him, and the figure of the princess froze where, and the worry on her face resurfaced, for fear that her son would regret it. But what she heard was, "That man is hated! Even if his mother can touch the effect of hatred, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep the throne, and he has many heirs in his life, and the number of sons alone is counted as ten, and the age gap between the latter few is not very large, and now they are all adults, so the struggle for royal power in this palace is bound to be very fierce." ā
The princess's heart tightened with these words, as if she had seen the princes splashing blood on the court for the throne, and finally and most terrifyingly, one or even several princes looked at their father with a butcher's knife in frenzy. After all, there is a precedent for drunken dreams and deaths, and no one can guarantee what the prince who gave the wine will think.
"Isn't there any other way to keep him? Losing the throne is nothing, and if he is not in that seat, maybe he will change his mind, and your relationship will be eased. The princess continued to dream in her heart.
The second prince was indifferent to this, but he still tried his best to think about his mother, because at this time, a princess who was worried about her husband's safety really had no wisdom at all, and even her mind was not as good as that of a five-year-old child.
"Now that he has the protection of the temple and the royal power, I don't think he will be in any danger for the time being, but if he is obsessed with the royal power, I am afraid that it will be quite dangerous, and I think that after my mother has managed to contact him with the influence of hatred, he will be able to wisely propose to abdicate and choose the best among the heirs. ā
"His fourth prince died tragically back then, otherwise maybe there would not be so many disputes on the throne, after all, his mother was the eldest daughter of the Agris, and his uncle was called the king of the swamp, but it was a pity that he was greedy for beauty and finally died at the hands of the orcs. The second prince began to help his mother analyze the forms in the palace.
"The eldest prince was not liked by him all along, because his union with the queen was itself a deal imposed on him by the royal family, just to entrap the family of Culus, and you have seen what this family has done in Calais over the years. But if he wants to choose an heir, the family behind the eldest prince will definitely support him, this is a force that must not be underestimated. ā
"As for the third prince, although the family status is not so prominent, don't forget, they have the support of the temple behind them. Didn't each of the other princes have a huge family behind him? But the man himself was not tidy, and he had to fight Omar himself, and he failed miserably, which had already aroused the displeasure of the Calais family, and now he was killing people in the palace, and who of those ministers was an idle person? I was afraid that there were countless people who wanted him to die. ā
"What can I do about this?" The princess's heart was completely confused, and she was in no mood to think about anything else, if she could still maintain a little sanity and think carefully about her son, she was afraid that she would discover a big secret, how could this prince who was hidden within the walls of the palace know so much about the situation in Calais, and talk about all kinds of forces.
"Mother, don't panic," said the second prince, holding her mother back to her seats, "You must convince him of one thing, let him put the princes to the test on the subject of quelling the rebellion of the swamp orcs." ā
"I'm afraid it's too difficult, in case no one can do it, he, they ćććććć" The princess hesitated, still worried about Theodore's safety, after listening to her son's analysis just now, she already regarded these princes as beasts of the flood, and the throne is no longer a symbol of power, but a hot potato, and she is in a hurry to throw it out to feel at ease.
"Don't worry, Mother, just set a time limit, and see who does a good job, and who proves who is capable, so that the heir to the throne can be chosen fairly, and secondly, it can deal a heavy blow to the orcs, which I think both the royal family and the nobles of Calais will be happy to see. The second prince's words immediately untied the knot in the princess's heart, and her face was full of vitality.
The second prince sighed: "This is the last thing I can do for that man, and I will repay him for his kindness." The princess also lamented, and there was a moment of deep regret in her heart, regretting that she had not found a way to change the bloodline for her son, if their father and son could be harmonious, I was afraid that this throne would be none other than the second prince.
There is a huge gap between hope and reality, and it cannot be changed by man. And the princess didn't know that there were almost no such exercises in the world, and even if she had her precious son, she would never learn it, because he had already known his bloodline through secret channels when he was a child, how could he give up the bloodline that he thought was noble and pure?
With an idea, she didn't want to delay for a moment, and got up again and floated away. The second prince looked at the back of his mother's departure and fell into deep thought. On weekdays, his mother's identity is absolutely not allowed to participate in **, but now she must come forward to complete this matter, and he can't help but worry about his mother's safety.
If the advice he gave just now, it would actually be a good plan, but in the current situation, it is a poisonous plan. Now that Theodore has lost the trust of the temple and the royal family, both sides urgently need an heir to replace him, but they can't pull him down from the throne out of thin air, and they still have to obey his edicts.
In this way, the selection of the heir will become a secret and cruel game for Calais, the major families and even the temple will be involved in this whirlpool, and in the end maybe the orcs will be regained, but Calais's consumption will be extremely huge, no matter who can successfully sit on the throne, Calais's strength will be greatly weakened, and the new monarch will inevitably be stained with the blood of his brothers in the battle for the throne, how can those families behind not hold grudges?
That used to be the motto of the people of Calais, the code of conduct of their lives, but since Calais separated from Calais and Calais, which is now represented by the royal family, this sentence has become more and more an empty phrase, and only the generals who came from the temple and the samurai still hold it, and the rest of the people are only used as a verbal phrase to indicate their identity.
Calais is in turmoil and weakened, and the one who gets the most benefits is of course the blood clan, and as the second prince with the blood of the noble and pure blood clan, he no longer has to hide in the palace and live a forbearant life, he will become the leader of the blood clan, leading the blood clan out of the bitter cold land, walking in the sun, and towards the glory of the blood clan.
Thinking of this, the second prince's face was a little ruddy, but suddenly he thought of his mother, who had been miserable all his life, and he had just used her against his will, and he couldn't help but make his face flushed with a layer of gloom. I couldn't help but say secretly in my heart: "Mother, bear with me for the time being, these humiliations and helplessness are only temporary, and it won't be long before my son will double all his hatred back, and then the whole world will fall to your knees." ā
