In some gloomy halls, the atmosphere has become extraordinarily solemn. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone is silent, and everyone has their own thoughts.

Odd looked at everyone present, and there seemed to be a special meaning in his eyes. It was a kind of laughter, as if he was laughing at something he was born to resist.

After that, everyone paid tribute to the former king in such a strange atmosphere.

When it was time to leave, whispers began to appear in the ranks of the various families, and everyone had a little caution on their faces. They kept their heads down, talking to each other, and they knew everything so much that it was hard to hear. Of course, they may not want others to hear the conversations.

Caesar looked at the clusters of people around him, a little puzzled.

Seeing the confusion on Caesar's face, Nicole whispered to him:

"After the death of the first king, the princes will inevitably start a struggle for the throne, even if the first king appoints the third prince as the crown prince, but others will not be convinced, especially the eldest prince. And now it's time for all forces to take sides, and these princes will also begin to woo and buy the forces they value. If you stand on the right side and wait until the prince you support becomes the emperor of Macedonia, the family's status will definitely rise, and the future official career will be smooth sailing. As for standing on the wrong team, it will be demoted or destroyed, and it depends on whether the new emperor is merciful or not. ”

Nicole softly spat out the strife at the heart of Virgina, making Caesar feel the depths of it.

"And which side are the Flamells on?"

Caesar asked, somewhat curious.

Among the princes, he only knows Odd, and the friendship between the two is not shallow, as he personally, of course he will stand on Odd's side. And now he wants to know whether the Flamel family will be on the opposite side of Odd.

Nicole smiled and continued to whisper:

"The Flamel family has always been loyal only to the emperor, which means that we only listen to the emperor, and since the first king issued an edict and appointed the three princes as kings, then we will fully support the decision of the first king. ”

Caesar nodded, and at the same time, he was silently relieved. In this way, there will be no potential conflict between him and the Flamel family, and he will not do anything to the interests of the Flamel family because of his friendship with Odd.

The families began to leave the palace in an orderly manner, and Caesar followed the Flamel family as they walked out of the palace with the flow of people.

"Caesar. ”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from above the main hall.

Caesar was stunned for a moment, then turned around to find Odd smiling at him.

"Can you stay for a while?"

In the eyes of those who had not yet left the hall, Caesar could see all kinds of emotions, envy, suspicion, and deep and unknowable thoughts.

Caesar wondered what Audeh had left behind in front of so many people.

He looked at Alva to the side, and at this time, Alva also had doubts in his eyes, but he nodded to Caesar anyway.

"We are waiting for you outside the temple. ”

With these words, Alva led the group and continued to walk along the procession towards the outside of the hall.

Caesar didn't know why, he walked out of the group and returned to the main hall.

Odd sat on the throne and looked at Caesar who was walking towards him, and finally there was a slight smile in his eyes, as if the surface of the lake that had been frozen for a long time began to melt a little, and it seemed that he could see the rippling blue waves after that.

When everyone had left the hall, Odd waved his hand to let the remaining officials of the hall leave. Today, only the two of them are left in the spacious palace hall.

Odd stepped down from his throne and came to Caesar's side. He didn't speak, none of them spoke. Odd just stared at the dark ceiling of the main hall in a daze, and there was only silence in the emptiness.

"That...... Audrey...... Your Highness...... Is there anything you want me to do?"

Finally, it was Caesar who broke the long silence, and he asked cautiously.

Odd smiled, and the smile on his face was the most familiar one in Caesar's heart:

"When it's just the two of us, don't call me Your Highness, between us we are still the same as before, you are my best and only friend. ”

Caesar nodded and patted Odd on the shoulder.

"Are you alright?"

Odd looked at Caesar, and there was a hint of bitterness on his face, as if Odd at this moment was himself:

"My father has always been very kind to me, he has cared for me more than the other brothers, and he has even made me the crown prince against all the opposition. I just don't know if I'm going to live up to his expectations of me. ”

Odd bowed his head, immersed in watery sorrow.

Caesar patted him on the shoulder again.

He had also felt the feeling of loss, and the emptiness in his heart was irreparable when everything he cherished was gone forever. They all know very well that in the years to come, they will no longer see or hear the sound and smile of the past, and some only have regrets left by the past and irreparable regrets.

"I'm sorry for not telling you who I really am at the beginning. My status is very sensitive, especially after my father made me the crown prince, many people wanted my life, which made me have to be cautious and cautious. ”

Caesar shook his head:

"Everyone has their own secrets, and in my heart you will always be that Odd, that first friend of my in Virgina. ”

Odd's eyes were filled with emotion, a genuine feeling that can only be revealed in front of those closest to him. In the past, he would only be his true self in front of his father, but now the person he cares about may only be the young man his age in front of him.

Thinking of this, Odd smiled and held out his hand:

"Re-introduce myself, my name is Aldrich Karanus, the third prince of the Macedonian Empire, and I will become the emperor of the empire in the future, hoping that I can become a generation of emperors and inherit the glory of my father. ”

Caesar likewise stretched out his hand and solemnly shook Odd's hand. Looking at the trust in Odd's eyes, Caesar made an important decision at this moment:

"Caesar Abraham, known as the 'Sword of the White Light', is now a student at the Royal High School of Magic, and his primary desire is to be able to help others. ”

The expression on Caesar's face was extraordinarily serious, and a deep light flowed deep in the depths of his black pupils.

After hearing the words "White Light Sword Master", Aode's eyes burst out with an astonishing light:

"I've known for a long time that you're not ordinary, to be honest, I couldn't find out your identity before I came to Virgina after checking you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be the famous 'White Light Sword Saint'." ”

Caesar smiled bitterly:

"I just kept my name incognito to prevent the disturbance of powerful people like you, but I didn't expect to let you know it today. ”

Odd laughed, the sadness in his eyes a little lighter.

"You're letting me stay, more than that, aren't you?"

Caesar looked suspicious, staring at Odd's fiery pupils.

And Odd didn't hide it in the slightest, he nodded, then pondered for a moment, and said:

"You also know that the battle for the throne is about to begin. My brothers won't let me sit on this throne so easily. Now, the forces of all sides are surging, and each of them is accumulating his own strength, and the strength I have at hand is not weak, but it is quite limited. Especially my eldest brother, his influence in the empire should not be underestimated, and many forces are at his disposal. I'm afraid this battle is not so easy to win, and now I need a chess piece to disrupt the opponent's layout, so that the opponent can't tell the truth from the fake. ”

"A chess piece?"

Caesar seemed to understand something.

Odd nodded:

"Yes, do you remember the war chess we used to play, some of the chess pieces exist to disrupt the opponent's line of sight, so that they don't dare to make a rash move until they see it. ”

As he said this, Odd locked his gaze on Caesar, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and the excitement in his pupils was not disguised at all.

He said to Caesar word for word:

"Caesar, be my pawn!"
