Chapter 117: Edict!
Since ancient times, the change of royal power has often been accompanied by bloodshed and intrigues, during which the clouds are treacherous, and no one knows who will end up until the end.
Linda's choice wasn't wrong.
According to the plan, Yifeng and the two are the last yellow birds, but the current situation is out of the control of the two.
Who knows, Gast inserted it abruptly, and it was even more powerful?
It is true that at this time, Linda still has the ability to fight. But there are only two of them, not to mention that Gast himself is a legendary powerhouse comparable to Linda, and the few black-clothed people scattered outside the light gate are not ordinary people.
As for Yifeng, his excavator is invincible in the open ground, but in this small and narrow (relatively speaking) room, it can't be used at all. His own force is absolutely scum.
Therefore, it makes sense that Linda chose to wait and see, and did not mean to hold the final blow, otherwise they would not have taken the trouble to lure Adam out.
In the dormitory, the lights and shadows were bright, and around His Majesty's bed were dozens of silver candlesticks, which illuminated Edward's old face. Gast sat on the edge of the bed, taking His Majesty's thin hand, and wept.
If it seems to outsiders, this is undoubtedly a father-son relationship. But if you listen closely, it's completely different.
"Father, since I was born, you have never looked at me as a son. There is the heroism of the eldest brother, the elegance of the second brother, and the coquettishness of the younger sister, and I, a son who is not up or down, does not please you, which is not a strange thing, and I have no complaints. ”
Gast's expression was warm and affectionate, and his movements were gentle and careful, as if he was afraid of waking up his sleeping father, but this cold tone strangely formed an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
"Isn't it that my mother is a palace maid! Isn't it that she was not born with a prominent birth! Father, do you know? How I envy them! When they are around you, laughing and playing, I practice under the scorching sun; when they have fine clothes and food, I am in the cold deep palace, eating chaff and vegetables. You know, I'm Gast a legendary powerhouse now, and I'm working so hard just to make you look up at me, even if it's just a smile. But you don't. No matter how hard I try, you seem to forget that there is still my son. ”
Gast's face contorted, and the more he spoke, the more agitated he became.
"But I'm not convinced! Why!!Why do I work so hard, or do I have nothing? Why, the eldest brother and the second brother have everything?"
Ay~~
Yet another victim of educational failure.
The breeze outside the window listened quietly, as if sighing and sympathizing. Being in the palace, you can't avoid this kind of intrigue and jealousy, and Gast's resentment is reasonable.
The candle flame seemed to feel it too, and began to cry. Just like His Majesty Edward at the bedside, a cloudy tear dripped from his eyes, and his fingers curled slightly, as if he were about to wake up.
This frightened Gast instead.
"Father, did you hear it all? You're about to wake up, aren't you?"
Gast's face was cloudy, he suddenly clenched the long sword in his hand, held down Edward's body with one hand, and stabbed down with the other without hesitation!
He's killing his father! He's really plotting to kill His Majesty!!
What's even more terrifying is that his tone is extremely warm.
"It's a pity that you will never see it, father! I, Gast, will inherit your legacy, and will build the whole of Atlanta better! Unfortunately, you will not see all this!"
Yifeng was covered in cold hair, and he wanted to jump into the window, but Linda held it down firmly and shook his head gently at him.
His Majesty's forehead wrinkled in pain. Suddenly, his eyes blinked a few times and finally opened.
"Gast, is that you?"
This is the return of light, it is the pain that stimulates His Majesty's sobriety.
Gast didn't expect this either, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrible, and he stepped back and sat down on the ground.
"Father, I didn't do it, I didn't do it!"
He waved his hands in a panic, like a child who had done something wrong, for fear of his father's rebuke.
Edward coughed a few times, gulps of blood gushing out of his mouth, and he forced himself to sit up, leaning against the head of the bed, looking at his son with extremely kind eyes.
"Gast, my dear son, why are you doing this?"
Edward glanced at the long sword stuck in his chest and abdomen, and said bitterly.
"Gast, come here!"
He beckoned to Gaast and motioned for him to fetch a rectangular box from the bedside table.
"Do you know, Gast, that in my heart you are the best! Your eldest brother Adam may be brave, but if a nation is warlike, it will not last long, how can I give his kingdom to him?"
Edward snorted.
"Although your second brother Arthur is quite knowledgeable, but he actually likes the Grand Duke of Ping'an, don't I know? If it is handed over to him, then after a hundred and ten years, maybe the throne will return to the hands of the Ping'an family. ”
Edward shuddered and opened the box, revealing a scroll of edicts inside.
"You're different! I've been watching you in the dark since I was a kid. You have courage and perseverance, and what is even more rare is that you have ambition, a city, and more patience! You have done a good job! Your father does not blame you, and those who can achieve great things must have such courage. What is it to seek the throne? I think this is how our Edward family came to the throne in the first place?"
Gast was dumbfounded!
Because he helped unfold the edict, on which his name was impressively written.
Since Edward decided to pass on the throne to himself, why should he be a villain in vain?
"Father~~"
He finally came to his senses, screamed in grief, and pounced.
"I was wrong! Father, I really know I was wrong!"
Edward stroked Gast's hair gently, and what he had just said seemed to drain all his energy, and his eyes began to drift.
"You have done a good job! The king does not have the kindness of a woman! Gast, my dearest son, do not blame the father for being cruel! Do you know? When you are a child, rolling in the muddy water and practicing the sword, how much your father's heart hurts? But the father has to do this!"
Yifeng was moved. It's not about paternal love, it's a form of protection from a father for the future heir of the kingdom. No wonder the Grand Knight of Arvis was able to fall to Gast's side, and that's why!
The pain during this period is difficult for others to comprehend. Like an eagle pushing his child to a cliff, this is another kind of fatherly love.
It's a pity that Gast didn't understand.
By the time he found out, it was too late.
"Gast, my son. Come, send my father on his last journey, and help my father relieve his pain, okay?"
Edward's eyes seemed to start blurring, and he fumbled around, trying to grab Gast's hand.
"Father, here I am. Gast is here. ”
Gast burst into tears and put his hand up. I saw Edward touching Gast's face with one hand, and pressing Gast's hand with the other, touching the long sword, and slamming it in.
Edward's legs shook a few times, a smile began to appear on his face, and his head tilted to one side.
Edward, the king of a generation, has returned to the embrace of the gods!
At this time, the bell of the bell tower struck midnight, as if in mourning.
"Father, wake up!
Gast shook Edward's body a few times. Seeing that there was no response, he suddenly stood up, wiped the hilt of his sword with a handkerchief, walked to the window, pushed it open, and after a long breath, suddenly raised his tone.
"Your Majesty has returned to heaven!"
The door slammed open, and several men in black and the Praetorian Guards rushed in. They looked at the room and looked at each other.
"What are you looking at me!"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Gast's face, and he pointed to the window.
"There are assassins! The assassins have murdered His Majesty, I can see clearly, it's Yifeng!
Click.
Yifeng finally fell with one kick.
"Bastard, how dare you frame your brother!?"
