Chapter 256: Two Princes

readx;? The position of the second prince Layton in the royal capital is very embarrassing, originally as the son of the queen, he is the candidate who has the best chance to attack the throne. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, before he was ten years old, His Majesty the Emperor did raise him as an heir.

After all, His Royal Highness Leighton is gifted and intelligent, and with the support of the great nobles represented by the queen's family, he is the best candidate to inherit the throne.

But after the birth of the fourth prince, Rhaegar, Lady Thorn, with her skillful skills, successfully won the favor of His Majesty the Emperor.

This made Queen Cersei feel threatened, and in order to remove the obstacles from Leighton's succession to the throne, she did something that angered His Majesty.

Of course, there is no public discussion about that old case, some people say that the queen herself is obsessed, and some people say that Madame Thorn framed her.

There are different theories, but the final result is obvious to all, the queen was deposed, and her family suffered a heavy repression.

If it weren't for the queen taking poison and taking all the responsibility on herself, I'm afraid that the second prince Layton would not have been spared.

With this incident as a turning point, Leighton's position in the royal capital took a sharp turn for the worse.

But it is also thanks to the hundred-legged insect that he is not stiff, and he still has a high influence and appeal among the nobles of the royal capital.

Coupled with the support of the military provided by the third prince Wren, this gave Leighton the capital to pursue the throne again.

How terrible a man who has endured in the maelstrom of power for sixteen years and hovers between life and death several times is only known to his opponents.

Leighton looked at himself in the mirror and took a deep breath, and he also changed into an expensive gown.

"How do I look today?" he asked softly.

The large room was empty, all furnished as it had been sixteen years ago, and he had never let anyone into it.

He cleaned everything himself, and he knew exactly where every furnishing was.

Even if he moved even the slightest, he could swing back into place accurately.

Today he apparently made an exception and let people into this room, and it was a woman.

"Your Highness is really radiant today and has the demeanor of an emperor. ”

The woman was wearing a cloak with a hood, and it was difficult to see her clearly.

But her lips were scarlet as blood.

Like a blazing flame, it is breathtaking and mesmerizing, but it will also bring destruction.

"Have you dealt with the one from the Far East, and what do you think of him?" asked Layton softly.

He has very strict requirements for his words and deeds, never saying a word more, nor doing a superfluous action.

This was all achieved through countless exercises.

In order to be invulnerable in front of those nobles, he would simulate the mirror countless times a day.

"It's just a little imp with a colored heart and no lustful heart. The woman laughed as well, and her voice was like a silver bell.

She wears a cloak with a reverse cross painted on it.

If the people of the Church of Light had seen this mark, they would have arrested her, tied her to the cross, and burned her.

This is the symbol of heresy, the Dark See.

Although this woman hides her appearance, her voice cannot be faked.

It was the hot big star of the royal capital who had only met Lin Ye a day ago, Cecia.

"Is that all?" Layton frowned.

He had endured sixteen years, and all he did was one day before he went, and that kid would be a crucial part of the plan.

He didn't want anything to go wrong.

Be sure to address all the downsides before that day comes.

"Who knows, cluck. The woman's laughter echoed through the empty room.

Layton didn't ask any more questions, he straightened his shirt and took a deep breath.

Striding out of the room.

――――

Lady Thorn was able to defeat Queen Cersei, who was born into a wealthy nobleman, as an ordinary shepherdess.

And step by step climbed to today's high position, which is not a legend.

Not only that, but her son Rhaegar even came from behind, overpowering the eldest prince Leo and the second prince Leighton, becoming a hot successor.

The vast majority of people believe that the only obstacle between His Highness Rhaegar and the throne is time.

If His Majesty the Emperor lives long enough, then according to this momentum, the throne will definitely be in the pocket of His Highness Rhaegara.

His upward momentum is too fierce, and what is even more terrifying is that His Highness Rhaegar has never had the slightest scandal in so many years.

He did not hold an official position like the Grand Prince, and he had a high reputation among officials.

is not like the second prince to make friends with nobles, and he is almost a universal response among the nobles.

He lives in a simple place, and his virtue and potential are impeccable.

No one can fault him.

He had been waiting, waiting for the time that would advance his great cause.

But time can bring everything, and it can also destroy everything.

Once His Majesty the Emperor does not have enough time, this will inevitably bring great variables to his grand hegemony.

To make sure of this, the only thing he had done all these years, or the only thing his mother, Lady Thorn, had done.

It is to hold the royal capital garrison firmly in his hands.

This is an innate advantage that neither the eldest prince Leo nor the second prince Leighton do not have.

Once the situation changes, they can quickly control the royal capital with thunderous means.

This is what Leo and Layton fear the most.

Compared with Leo's heroism and Layton's femininity, Rhaegar has both, both in terms of strength and talent, and is not below the two elder brothers.

In the golden room, he put on that sumptuous gown.

"If only there were more golden lions. Mrs. Thorn looked at her son and sighed with heartfelt emotion.

Four golden lions plus one, that is the emperor's standard.

Although she is in her thirties, Mrs. Thorn is very well raised.

Her skin is white and tender, like a little girl, and that face can still make young and strong teenagers flock to her.

The years not only did not leave traces on her, but precipitated her charm.

The royal capital has spread that she is proficient in the art of charm, which is why she is deeply attracted to His Majesty the Emperor.

"It won't be long before Mother, this country will be in our possession sooner or later, and I will present the supreme crown before you as a gift. ”

Her Highness got down on one knee and kissed the back of Lady Thorn's hand.

His eyes were deeply fascinated.

A pathological obsession.

"Tonight there will be many guests to show your majesty as an emperor, and this will be the starting point of your path to the emperor, and it will also be the beginning of our revenge. "Lady Thorn, perhaps because of her excitement, her face was ruddy.

In order to achieve that goal, at the age of nearly sixteen, she came to the palace and did everything she could.

Finally getting closer to her goal.

Now it's at your fingertips.

"This world will be ruled by my people!" (To be continued.) )
