Chapter 205 of the chapter sent yesterday was named the same as the previous chapter because of the wrong chapter name, and it was later revised. Also, due to the large number of words in this chapter, it was updated a little late, sorry sorry......

====================================================================

Imperial capital of Garcia, Clark Palace.

"Nicholas!" In the silent corner of the palace, Prince Luthor brushed aside the branches and leaves in the bushes, stared at a stone cave not far away, and then beckoned to a boy who looked about the size of him behind him.

This boy is Prince Luthor's personal companion in the palace, and he has been by his side since he entered the palace, and if there is one person in the entire Clark Palace that he can move, it is this Nicholas.

But since Luthor experienced the warmth and intrigue in the palace, the heart that had already been cultivated at a young age was as cold as iron and hard-hearted, and he no longer trusted anyone, not even his personal companion.

"My Highness, we are here at such a late hour, and His Majesty Fernandez has found out, we will be in trouble......" Nicholas has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his figure and appearance are very similar to Luther, and it is precisely because of this that he was favored by Luthor, and was selected to be his attendant, and gently burrowed from the bushes to Luther's side, and said with a frightened face.

As soon as Luthor heard this, he immediately lowered his face and said coldly: "He hasn't been proclaimed emperor yet, and you can't wait to call him His Majesty the Emperor?"

In the past two days, Fernandez's army has basically controlled Garcia, and Kirk's party has been extremely bloody purge and massacre by Fernandez in these two days, and the blood in the imperial capital is full of blood, and a tragedy of brotherhood gradually came to an end with the complete defeat of Kirk's forces.

As Fernández entered the Clark Palace as the victor of civil strife, the retinue and maids throughout the palace secretly began to call this young man who relied on a strong army to step on the corpse of his brother to ascend to the throne as His Majesty the Emperor.

Nicholas slipped out of his mouth, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't know what to say.

Luthor glanced at the entourage beside him with his eyes, and said coldly in a sarcastic tone: "What, are you thinking about how to change the court and take refuge in His Majesty Fernandez?"

Nicholas was Luthor's personal man, and of course he knew what kind of character the prince he was serving, a prince from an ignominious background, self-reliant, and at the same time possessing an extremely strong sense of inferiority, and he was extremely sensitive to anything, whether it was political struggles or personal attacks.

This young prince is the kind of person who talks and laughs with you one second, and can make extreme sarcasm to you the next, turning his face faster than turning a book.

Knowing this, Nicholas did not intend to defend himself, he just lowered his head and listened quietly to Luther's words.

Luthor didn't intend to let him go, he sneered and sneered: "It's a pity that you have been by my side for so long, even if you are not my person, others will think that you are my person." Besides, my amazing brother must be very busy now, so how can he take care of you?"

The clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention that Nicholas is still a child, he was ridiculed by Luther's cold words, and his face suddenly turned red, he trembled all over, and his lips trembled and said: "Since you don't believe me, then I'll go!"

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

When Luthor saw that he was leaving, he immediately grabbed him, and immediately laughed on his face: "Don't go, I'm not happy to say two words to you, you are so angry, I know you are the most loyal to me, right?"

Luthor had an innocent smile on his face, and if an adult saw it, he would have gasped, killing the child who wouldn't believe that the innocent smile on his face was associated with the child who had just mocked Nicholas with mean language.

Nicholas looked away, gasping for air in his nose, he didn't have a deep city like Luther, and he couldn't be pampered.

Luthor smiled and said to Nicholas in a slightly flattering tone, "Okay, don't be angry, you are the only one who cares about me the most in the entire Clark Palace, you are my friend, you are my guardian knight, isn't it?

Nicholas was indeed born into a knightly family of the aristocratic class, and if he hadn't had this relationship, it would not have been his turn to enter the palace to serve the prince, but he served the most unpopular prince, and he himself was the most unfavored child in the family.

Luther's words immediately tugged at Nicholas's heartstrings, although he was young, his mind was full of loyalty and sacrifice, and Luther's situation was very similar to him, which immediately resonated with him.

"What do you want me to do, my Highness?" Nicholas turned his head and looked at Luthor with blazing eyes.

Luthor smiled, swept the stone cave in a remote corner of the palace not far away, and said, "Weiss invited me to meet here today, I don't know what happened, can you help me go over and ask?"

Weiss is a maid in Clark's palace, and she has a good relationship with Luthor on weekdays, it stands to reason that she meets in private, and Luthor will go to the appointment without hesitation, but the current situation is unusual, it is the most sensitive and dangerous time, although Luthor is young, but his cunning character makes him dare not be careless.

Besides, he and Nicholas are so similar in appearance and figure that many people in the palace really confuse them.

Nicholas just looked at Luthor a little strangely, as if he wondered why Luthor didn't go to the appointment himself, but the knightly rules in his head made him keep his mouth shut consciously.

He nodded, glanced left and right with Luther's encouragement, and then emerged out of the bushes.

Coincidentally, the place where Weth and Luthor met was near the stone cave where the Sword Master took Tang Jie, this place was located in the most remote southwest corner of the palace, surrounded by bushes and inaccessible.

Nicholas boldly walked towards the cave, and when he got closer, he saw a girl in a goose-yellow palace maid's long dress standing in the shadows with her hands clasped on her chest and her head bowed.

"Weiss?" Nicholas called out softly.

Weiss suddenly raised her head, her face full of horror, and she lost her voice, "Your Highness Luther?"

Nicholas saw the panic on Weith's face, he was stunned for a moment, and a trace of ominous premonition flashed in his heart when he saw Weiss suddenly shout at him: "Your Highness Luthor, ...... quickly"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw a long sword suddenly penetrate through her soft chest in the shadow of the stone cave, and the sharp tip of the sword dripped scarlet blood, which was shocking!

Weis's petite body trembled twice, and soon died.

Nicholas was stunned when he suddenly saw such a change, and soon his chest was also painful, and a long sword pierced through behind him, and blood flowed down the blade of the sword quickly.

Nicholas felt like a bubble had been punctured in his chest, and his strength was flowing with the blood, and he tried to turn his head to see the face of the man behind him, but as soon as he turned his head halfway, he saw Prince Luthor's cold eyes in the night, hiding in the bushes and staring at him coldly.

Nicholas opened his mouth to shout something, but blood poured out of his chest, gurgling from his mouth, and then he fell limply.

The short man who killed Nicholas whispered to the tall man who had killed Faith and came out of the cave, "What about the corpse?"

The tall man frowned: "Throw it into the stone cave, set it on fire, and burn it clean!"

The short man nodded, and turned away, apparently lost in search of the flammable oil of kerose.

The tall man dragged Nicholas and Weith into the cave, because Anthony was no longer stationed in this place, and Tang Jie returned here again after escaping from the Forbidden Tower and took the Achillus crystal from the Necromantic Forbidden Codex, so the boulder that originally sealed this stone cave had already been broken by Tang Jie, and this man could also enter the stone cave smoothly.

This cave is the site of the pirate king Athoth's treasure, and it contains some of the most valuable texts of the wizarding world, but in the midst of this riot, the entire Clark Palace has been ransacked, and even this cave is full of books and dusty codex that have fallen to the ground.

It's just that most of these rebels are illiterate soldiers, and these words are exquisite and profound magical words, so none of them even knows the value and preciousness of these books, and they just treat them as ordinary books, just glance at them a few times, search around and then leave.

Speaking of which, if Tang Jie hadn't stayed with Fiona for a while, he was afraid that he wouldn't even know him, and he would treat the peerless secret treasure as a waste with his eyes open.

The two men who set up the trap to ambush Luthor also didn't know the books in this room, not to mention that what they were doing now was killing the prince, which was a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, who had the mood and interest to pick up a book on the ground and take a closer look?

After the tall man dragged Weiss's body and Nicholas into the cave, the short man soon followed, holding a torch, looking left and right, and said with a smile: "So many books, just for our prince's highness to be buried!"

The tall man glanced at him and said lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

The two immediately sprinkled the fire oil everywhere, and then walked to the entrance of the cave, the tall man smiled coldly, threw the torch in his hand into the fire oil, and with a bang, the stone cave suddenly burst into flames!

The two men quickly left, because the flames were burning in the cave, and the cave was quite hidden, so there was no sign of arson at all in the night, only bursts of black smoke came out of the cave, and no one noticed it under the cover of night.

Although Nicholas was stabbed in the chest in the cave, he did not die for a while, and the heat of the flames forced him, and the licking of the flames made him wake up from his coma in pain.

He stretched out his hand and struggled to scratch it, but his hand touched a thick book that had fallen to the ground, and his fingers dug into a dented groove in the book, and the blood on his hand flowed down the groove.

This book is the forbidden book of necromancy inlaid with the Achillus crystal that Tang Jie had seen before, this magic book records the ultimate meaning of the lost necromancy spell, and it is the best treasure among the magic treasures.

Nicholas's hand flowed into the groove on the cover of the magic book, and his blood was immediately poured into the book, and the thick magic book began to emit bursts of cold and dark mist, slowly enveloping Nicholas.

After Nicholas struggled and stretched his hand for a moment, a wave of air rushed over him, and he was immediately unconscious again.

And at this time, outside the stone cave, his face was calm, but his heart was frightened like a river overturning the sea, Luthor couldn't help but tremble slightly, he knew that if he didn't have an extra heart, he would be burned to death at this time, if it wasn't for these two men who were not careful enough, then he would still be able to escape the poison in the end.

His brother is only one step away from the throne, and he doesn't have the slightest strength to compete with Fernandez, even if he doesn't want to let himself go?

Thinking of this, Luthor was sad and angry, he wanted to participate in the wrestling between Kirk and Fernandez, but his strength was so weak that it was almost zero, he had the courage to take in Tang Jie and drive away the retinue that other forces had placed around him, and it was precisely because he wanted to rely on the power and strength of this pirate to strengthen himself.

However, no matter how smart he was, he never thought that his two brothers would start a fierce competition so quickly, and the pirate Tang Jie he risked to take in was even more outrageous and exaggerated, after robbing the forbidden tower that symbolized the strict imperial authority, he risked the world's condemnation to snatch the princess of the Falco Empire, who was married far away to the Pound Empire, and then, he ran away with this beautiful woman who was captivating the country and the city!

This bunch of bastards!!

Luthor turned sharply, leaning his back against a tree, gasping for air, his fists clenched and trembling, his angry and helpless eyes looking at the dark sky, his eyes full of despair.

What am I going to do?

......

Nearly half an hour later, in the Clark Tower in the imperial capital of Garcia, a grand banquet for Fernandez was underway.

Emma stood quietly on the balcony of the palace, wearing a long white dress with a crisp sound at the corners of the cold wind high up.

This is the top balcony of the more than 100-meter-high Clark Tower, and it is also the palace where His Majesty the Emperor rested, looking down from here, Emma can clearly see the panorama of the entire imperial capital, and the little fireflies in the darkness symbolize the homes of each family, and under his feet are the magic stone pillars with magic array effect that surround the Clark Tower, which are suspended in the air, fixed like statues.

Even the balcony where Emma was standing was a suspended stone platform jutting out of thin air, except for a stone path leading to the bedroom behind her.

Just as Emma was looking at the vista, suddenly there was a sound of wings flapping through the air, and a huge black crow screamed "ahh

When Emma saw the black crow, she was shocked, her lips opened unconsciously, and her heart tightened: Is it finally here?

When she was trembling in her heart, a door not far behind her was slammed open, and the noisy sound of the banquet outside the door suddenly came in like a tide.

As soon as the crow saw someone entering, it immediately flickered its wings and flew away, leaving only a black feather floating in the air.

Emma looked back, but it was Prince Fernandez who was helped in by two maids.

After the two maids helped the drunken Fernandez to lie on the bed, they bowed slightly, looked at Emma jealously, and then withdrew.

What kind of woman will be in the future emperor's bedroom at this time? It is very likely that she will be the future imperial empress, and even if she is not, she must be a woman who is favored by the future emperor!

Emma looked at Fernandez, who was lying on the bed, and wondered: Is he drunk?

But when she looked over, she happened to see a pair of eyes looking at her, it was Fernandez's bright eyes that were shining, where was there half a point of drunkenness?

This dinner is equivalent to a large private banquet for Fernández to reward his subordinates before he ascended the throne and became emperor, although he is young, but he drinks a lot of wine, even if he has drunk three rounds, he is only slightly drunk, but he is not half drunk, he was helped in before the drunken appearance is to show others.

Emma was looked at by Fernandez, and her heart was beating wildly, and she didn't dare to look at him again, so she turned her face and looked out with a panicked gaze.

At this time, Fernandez was the proudest day of his life, although he was usually sensitive and suspicious, but now Kirk has been defeated, and even Luthor, who may have caused him a little trouble, has been secretly solved by him, and there will be no more stumbling blocks in front of him to prevent him from ascending the throne of the Emperor!

Of course, he would not be unaware of the secret actions of the Kelsman family and the Cult of Light, since he was able to defeat his brother who had been operating in the imperial capital for decades, how could he be a careless waste?

Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose to secretly solve Luther, as long as this guy is solved, then Kelsman and the Illuminati Cult will no longer have a chance to play on the topic, even if they want to support an agent, there is no way, because he is the only prince left in the bloodline of the entire Kriza family!

Unless Kelsman and the Cult of Light rebel, they will have to compromise with themselves!

How could such a young person who no longer had any worries still maintain a high degree of vigilance and vigilance at this time?

So Emma's frightened eyes are also understood by him as a kind of fear and fear that a young girl has in the face of the coming "first night".

Any woman who is a little more normal knows what it means for Fernandez to leave herself in the bedroom at such a late hour, so the fear that Emma exudes is not taken to Fernandez at all.

The young prince sat up from his bed and watched Emma's back quietly.

This girl is not tall or sexy, but her naturally delicate figure can produce a strong desire for men to protect when they see it.

Fernandez is also a person who has read all kinds of beauty, except for Angel who once made him feel that he is a good match, it is Emma who interests him the most.

In other words, she is his type, and this girl has an appetite for him.

Emma stood on the balcony, her delicate figure in the bright and transparent candle flame in the room and in the thick night outside the room, half of her body hidden in the night mysterious like a night witch, half of her body in the candle shadow red graceful, her long flaxen hair was coiled high, a long golden hairpin beautifully tied for her hair in an elegant bun.

Fernandez smiled and stood up from the side of the bed, he walked up to Emma's side, and said lightly, "You know what?"

"What?" Emma's gaze was like that of a frightened fawn, and she could not hide the lingering horror.

But Fernández was evil, and it was generally believed that this girl was a kind of shyness and fear from nature, and such a virgin demeanor tickled his heart.

He smiled and said, "The place where you stand now is where my father usually likes to stand the most. ”

"Ah......h

Fernández tilted his chin slightly, his expression was proud, he waved Fang Xuan with one hand and pointed to the night scene in front of him, at this time the stars in the sky were dotted, the lights on the earth were dense, and the stars and sparks between heaven and earth echoed each other, like a magnificent painting: "My father never believed me, he always doubted that I could take over this great empire smoothly, he never believed that I could make this great empire stable for a long time! Therefore, he has refused to let me stand in this place for more than ten years!"

"But......" Fernández let out a mocking sneer, "I'm here now, I'm standing here, I'm standing at the top of this empire, I've seen all the scenery of this empire!"

He turned his head and looked at Emma with a feverish gaze, "Do you believe that I can make this great empire last forever, do you believe that I can create a greater empire than my father?"

Emma was like a panicked rabbit, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Of course, my majesty!"

Fernandez laughed wildly, he let go of the hand that was holding Emma's shoulder, his hands were spread, and he took a step forward under his feet, as if to embrace the whole sky, grasp the whole continent, and he said loudly in a frenzy: "Now, who still doubts me, who still stands in my way! I am Fernandez Crezza XVII!!"

Looking at the proud appearance of Fernandez in front of her, Emma suddenly remembered what Maria had said to her: Men are the most defenseless at two times, one is when men erupt and ejaculate when they are happy, and the other is when men are most triumphant. If you want to kill a man, it's best to choose these two times to start, because men at this time are defenseless!

After this sentence suddenly popped up in Emma's mind, she subconsciously pulled out the bun that was coiled in her hair, and suddenly stabbed it hard towards Fernandez's carotid artery!!
