"Your Highness, I have been touched by your sincerity."

"But, I'd like to hear your plan first."

"How are you going to get revenge?"

In the elegant reception hall of Violet Manor, Richard, who was half-leaning on the main seat of the long table, stared at Luce Theresa, the poor third prince of the Templar Empire, who knelt down before him.

Possessing royal blood, not only did not give him a position of power and happiness, but instead caused him to fall into ruin, and he was also used by the Templar King as a tonic to strengthen himself......

It's a tragedy.

Luce's body trembled, and he raised his head reluctantly, his red eyes revealing excitement and excitement.

"Lord Richard! The royal family of the Templar Empire has something to do with the evil gods of the Abyss, and I'm looking for information about it......"

Richard's face was a little playful.

"So, you plan to use the power of the Good Order faction to overthrow the Templar Empire?"

Hearing this, Prince Luce immediately felt the mockery in his tone.

There was a bit of bitterness on his face.

"I also know that this is not realistic, and no one will go to war against a powerful kingdom because of something that catches the wind and shadows...... But, I don't have a choice! ”

With his strength, if he wants to take revenge according to the normal script, there is no hope.

can only go off the rails.

After Richard was silent for a moment, his deep eyes looked directly into the other's eyes, and he said word by word.

"Luz, are you willing to inherit the throne of the Templar Empire and become the ruler of this empire?"

Luce's heart shuddered, and he looked at Richard with a look of consternation.

"My lord, is this possible?"

Who is he? After the king gets drunk, he is a lowly bastard under the birth of a strong x commoner!

He was even able to become the Third Prince simply because the Templar Empire had a forbidden technique that could extract the bloodline of his descendants to strengthen himself.

In other words, he was nothing more than a spare blood vial for the king.

With such an identity, he wants to be a king?

Less likely than a beggar to become king.

Richard said with some deep meaning.

"Isn't that what flows in your body the blood of the Templar royal family?"

"If other princes can inherit the throne, why can't it be you?"

The calm tone is seductive.

"As long as you become a king, the revenge on your body can be avenged with a wave of your hand!"

"This empire should not be so dark and evil, you are free to compose the ideal kingdom in your heart."

"All men will bow down before you."

"Your Majesty ...... Luce"

This S-class mission, if you want to use external forces to accomplish it, needs to face the army of an empire.

It's as hard as it gets.

But what about a different way of thinking and starting from within?

Although Luce's status is very lowly in the royal family, he is also a member of the Templar Empire.

Since there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, let's engage in a game of nine sons to win the heir and play palace fighting.

Those large armies do not regard the princes vying for the throne as mortal enemies.

Isn't it reasonable for the king to die in a palace fight?

"As long as you put your mind to it, I will do my best to support you and put you in that position."

"Your Highness, the future, in your hands, your choice not only determines your fate, but also the fate of the Templar Empire!"

"I'll be in Solan City for three days, and before I leave, I hope to get an answer from you, and I can't wait."

"Don't reply to me now, go back and think about it."

"But you have to remember that once you make your choice, then in the future, you are the people of the City of Dusk."

"Let's go."

Luce, who got into the carriage, leaned against the glass window in a daze, looking at the streets and pedestrians who kept receding, and his thoughts were already flying all over the sky.

The conversation was still echoing in my head.

The indifferent posture of that heroic young man was like a king, and in the eyes of the other party, it was nothing more than that.

On other people, it is absurd and unreasonable, but who promised him?

Qingqiu!

God Butcher!

The other party's legendary record made him unable to have any doubts.

But to be king, is it possible?

Can a man like him become a king?

The path that the God Slayer had given him, he had never dared to think of, and although it seemed a little out of bounds, it shook his heart like an earthquake.

Sigh~

"Your Royal Highness, we have arrived at ......"

The coachman's calm voice came from outside the car.

After Luce was awakened, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

I saw that outside the luxurious residence where I was staying, several gorgeously dressed figures were talking to each other.

He took a deep breath, opened the car door himself, and stepped down.

When the figures saw him, they immediately stopped talking, and one of them, a bald man in his early forties, stepped closer.

The other party looked Luce up and down a few times, and said with a bit of disgust in his tone.

"Don't run around, which Charismatic Lord did you go to see today?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Luce to reply, and scolded.

"What can you talk about when you go alone...... Remember your real task and don't try to convince the other party, it's my time to waste energy on this! ”

"Grand Duke Solan will have a banquet tonight, you follow us to attend, don't talk too much, if Grand Duke Solan asks you, you can reply as you reply before."

"Hurry up and go back and change your clothes, we don't have that much time to spend here with you."

After the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, he laughed and turned to talk and laugh with the other people.

The others didn't move the whole time.

As for saluting the prince? Don't be funny, this little bastard who can't even kill the royal family deserves it?

Hearing this disdainful tone, which was no different from the past, Luce, who had been somewhat immune to this before, suddenly felt humiliated like never before.

The five fingers clenched, and the joints gurgled.

That seductive phrase resurfaced in my mind......

Luz, are you willing to inherit the throne of the Templar Empire and become the ruler of this empire?

I

Willing!

I'm willing to be a part of the City of Twilight, I'm willing to be your slave, I'm willing to give everything for revenge!

My wrath will eventually burn this decaying empire!

——

Vile waited for Luce's back to disappear and looked at Richard with some hesitation.

"My lord, are we really going to get involved in the struggle for the throne of the Templar Empire?"

"Although the king is old, he has not reached the point where he cannot move, although the prince has not yet been established, he has already had an intention, and now he is intervening......"

I didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Richard looked playful.

"We don't have many chess pieces in our hands, and the next step in our leisure time may have an unexpected effect."

"What if it fails? For us, it doesn't make a difference. ”

A demiartifact...... With this kind of treasure as a reward, even the biggest difficulties must be overcome.

However, this matter still needs to be well planned.

It is difficult to put a prince who has no foundation and has been abandoned on the throne.

However, it is precisely because of the difficulties that the final benefits are not sweeter?

"I think I have one more topic to discuss when I see Grand Duke Solan this time......"

As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Lord Richard, President Vile, there's an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion inviting you to a dinner tonight."

The half-feathered man who delivered the message handed over the golden invitation.

Richard didn't look at it and put it aside.

"Vile, if you accompany me tonight, you can expand the contacts of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, let everyone know who is standing behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce."

He has been looking forward to this meeting for a long time.

A legendary ascetic, the ruler of Solan City, the Grand Duke of the Templar Empire, any name has great deterrent power.

When these names are concentrated on one person at the same time, then one can call it - ruler.

A ruler who is in charge of the fate of tens of millions of people.

The Grand Duke of Solan, who owns Solan City, has the wealth, strength, and status of any country placed on the main plane, and it belongs to the top group.

What made Richard feel a little emotional was that a year ago, let alone being invited to a banquet, he couldn't even step into the threshold of the other party.

It's only been a year of development, and at this moment, Dusk City already has the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with Solan City.

The previous efforts have finally paid off.

When the sky is getting dark, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the reflection of the glass of the residential houses plunges the whole city into a dreamlike color.

The motorcade of Violet Manor slowly drove towards the center of the city.

After waking up, Chrissy was still a little sleepy-eyed at the moment, but after being bumped a few times, she woke up completely.

Squeezed to Richard's side, clasped his arms tightly, tilted his little head, and said with interest.

"Your Excellency Richard, that Prince Luce just came to ask for an audience, didn't he say anything? For example, Richard is bold, and he doesn't dedicate the El plane to the Templar Empire! ”

"Or, the Templar Empire made you a marquis, and you handed over the El Plane to the royal family......"

When chatting with him, the strengthening crystal given by Richard in the little girl's hand was still tightly held, and she was reluctant to let go.

Richard laughed.

"You've thought a lot, I'll talk to your father about Luce."

Said meaningfully.

"Maybe it won't be long before His Royal Highness the Prince will become the most honored guest in Solan City."

Chrissy clearly didn't believe it.

"The origin of the third prince is known even to beggars, if it weren't for those big nobles who wanted to seize the El throne, how could he be qualified to represent the Templar royal family?"

"Where's the honor?"

Richard pinched his small and delicate face in the other party's coquettishness, but did not explain.

He's going to lay out the way for Luce to ascend to the throne.

But this matter depends on the attitude of Grand Duke Solan.

But if you play a few more moves, you will always get something.

In front of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

The perimeter was heavily guarded, and the army guarded the surroundings very tightly.

No pedestrians dared to approach the zone, and the residents on the streets only dared to stand outside the cordon and look carefully.

Today's martial law is extraordinarily extensive, and it seems that something big is about to happen.

Quite a few residents and players of good deeds took the initiative to stop and want to see what would happen.

It's in nature to watch the excitement, and the players are even better.

It wasn't long before a lavish carriage slowly drove into the well-guarded regional center.

The next moment, everyone's eyes suddenly widened, and their faces were full of disbelief and shock.

Because when the carriage stopped, a burly figure wearing a plain robe and a temperament as thick as a mountain opened the door himself.

"Grand Duke Solan?!"

When a resident exclaimed, the crowd was in an uproar.

In Solan City, there is even a person who can make Grand Duke Solan personally pull the car door?!

The legendary powerhouse pulled the car door, and this scene simply shocked everyone's eyes.

That's legendary!

Even a king doesn't have such qualifications, right?

Who can enjoy this treatment?!

Doubts have arisen in the minds of countless people.

But unfortunately, the surrounding army moved, directly blocking all the sight from the outside, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside.

Richard was not surprised by Grand Duke Solan's appearance, and after getting out of the carriage, he had a smile on his face and a calm gaze.

】

Chrissy, who had already let go of his arm, began to introduce each other a little shyly.

"Your Excellency Richard, this is my father'......"

"Father, this is the Richard ...... I have been mentioning to you."

The two looked at each other.

The air suddenly became a little quieter.

This is the first time the two have met, because of the feat of El and Richard God Butcher, the relationship between this is a little delicate.

Powerful, unfathomable.

This is Richard's most intuitive perception of Grand Duke Solan.

Handsome, with an outstanding temperament, full of charm.

This is Grand Duke Solan's impression of Richard.

After a few moments, Richard spoke first.

"Your Majesty, Lord of the City of Dusk, Richard greets you"

Vile beside him also immediately bowed.

"Your Majesty, the President of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, Vier, salute you and thank Solan City for taking care of the Violet Chamber of Commerce during this time."

Grand Duke Solan, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, is extremely burly, standing in place like a mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Beneath the plain robes, the body of a beast seems to be hidden.

Ascetics, unable to wear any equipment, rely on the strength of the flesh to fight.

Ascetics who have cultivated to the extreme can even fight dragons hand-to-hand, wrestle with titans, and collide with giants.

The combat power is stronger than the sky.

Grand Duke Solan looked at Richard meaningfully after he spoke.

"Your Excellency Richard, how do you feel about my daughter?"

When she said this, Chrissy was stunned for a moment, and then her face instantly flushed like a rainbow in the sky, and her face was full of shyness.

Then he blinked and looked directly at Richard with big eyes, as if he wanted to hear his answer immediately.

Richard didn't expect Grand Duke Solan to say such a thing.

Without blinking his eyes, he said directly.

"Her Highness Chrissy is smart, kind, lovely, beautiful, and full of charm, and is one of the most outstanding of the opposite sex I have ever met."

What else can you do in front of other people's parents, of course, boasting to death.

Who likes to listen badly about their own children?

When Chrissy heard this, she felt that the joy in her heart was about to explode, her eyes were crooked, and her smile was like a star, bright and gorgeous.

Grand Duke Solan stared at Richard for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Lord of Solan City, Gris Solan, it's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Richard."

"On behalf of Solan City, I welcome you and, of course, President Weir, you are also welcome."

"Please come in."

As he spoke, he turned sideways slightly and signaled the open gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

And the sentence you just said about how you felt about my daughter, as if you had never said it before.

Richard didn't ask too much, this kind of proposition is better to talk less.

With a smile on his face, he followed the other person inside.

The melon-eating crowds outside who were still watching the excitement and were hotly discussing the open door of Solan didn't know.

The next few hours will not only affect the layout and future development direction of Dusk City, but may even affect the situation of the entire main plane.
