Intramuros.

this day.

It was a day to remember.

Because the final winner of the battle for the king, the four princes who have achieved the unification of the situation of the four realms, are about to return to the royal city on this day.

According to the rules, this is not allowed.

During the trial, there is only one way for the prince and princess to return to the royal city, and that is to be eliminated and become a loser, and only in this way can they step into the royal city and return to the prosperous capital that they are most familiar with.

And now, there are still three years left in the trial, and if you change someone who doesn't know how to be flexible, I'm afraid that the moment the fourth prince enters the royal city, he will be directly disqualified.

Of course.

Even if there is this kind of inflexible, the people around him will pull each other.

Because......

The fourth prince is not the heir to the royal family in the past, he is the master of three-quarters of the territory of the kingdom continent, his power, status, identity, and the heritage he has are enough for him to establish a new country, even if it is the four holy families that can restrain the royal family, it is difficult to restrict such a prince.

He wants to return to the royal city, who can stop him?

Phew!

A horse's hoof broke the silence of the royal city.

A ghost horse with blue supernatural flames broke into the entrance of the royal city, and on horseback, a man with blonde hair and golden eyes, distinct facial features, and a heroic looking man looked at the bluestone wall dozens of feet high.

Behind him was a mighty army of ghost gunsmiths.

Armed with a flintlock pistol, his grimace was full of murder.

At first glance, it is a master of kings who can only be cultivated after a lot of killing.

"That's ......"

"It's His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"

"That's right, with such a row, it can only be the four princes who dominate the four realms."

This moment.

The whole city shook.

The ghosts were in an uproar, and they poked their heads out one by one, wanting to see the strongest prince in history.

None of them.

The other party's deeds are too glorious.

It is the only one in the ages.

Its power rivaled that of the founding king.

Who wouldn't want to meet such a great king?

What's more, the legend of the fourth prince is far more than that, and there are many unspeakable topics in him.

For example: How did the fourth prince grow from the infamous and incompetent waste prince back then to the strongest prince today?

The strong are stronger, and after all, it is not as topical as the weak counterattack to become the king.

Because of this.

As a result, the fame of the fourth prince is growing day by day, and the streets and alleys are full of relevant discussions.

Now, the return of the main owner has detonated the audience at once.

……

The other side.

Seeing this scene of cheering in the city, Shen Jian had no sadness or joy, as if he was used to it, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

Cali Tyr also stepped forward on a ghost horse and smiled: "Your Highness, do you feel that you have washed away a depression?" Back then, when you left here, you were condemned by 10,000 people, all celebrating your departure from the royal city, and now, when you return to the royal city, they are still celebrating, celebrating your return to the royal city. ”

said.

A hint of emotion flashed in her azure eyes.

As the personal clerk of the fourth prince, she still remembers the scene when the fourth prince left, and many nobles celebrated with each other.

Now.

This shame has finally been washed away.

She let out a rare breath of evil, and she was sincerely happy for His Highness in front of her.

"Not bad."

Shen Jian nodded slightly.

He's been through this kind of scene too much, and he's almost immune.

"Let's go, let's go into town."

Shen Jian chuckled.

Entered the royal city.

The royal city was about as prosperous as the holy city.

It is also on par with the country of Qingguo, except that one is an ancient background and the other is a medieval background.

The same ghostly spirit, the same yin wind gusts, the same yin qi raging.

Shen Jian was very satisfied.

Not only because of the admiring gaze cast on both sides of the street, but also because the environment here makes him happy.

Although it is not as good as the Ten Halls of Yama, where the underworld is located, in terms of the degree of Yin Qi, it can barely make do.

Pondering.

Shen Jian glanced at the final hidden mission on the game panel.

Ascending to the throne needed to be done before the quest was finished here, and he didn't have time to wait for the old king to abdicate, so the best thing to do was to let the old king hand over the throne to him now.

Of course.

Such an approach can lead to a number of consequences.

For example: the old king was unwilling; The eldest prince, the three princesses, and the heirs blocked it; The other powerful nobles would not support his reckless actions; The Four Holy Families may also be an obstacle.

Shen Jian groaned slightly.

The old king is unwilling, the problem is not big, the big deal is the filial piety of the father and the son.

The other heirs are unwilling, and the problem is not big, just brothers and brothers.

The real power of the aristocracy does not support it, it doesn't matter, he is the best at turning enemies into friends and mediating conflicts between the two sides.

As for the Four Holy Families, this is a problem.

The Eli Empire is not like Qingguo, it is an imperial autocracy, and there is no king who is strong enough to suppress the whole country, and there is the influence of the Temple of Elim as a theocratic rule to divide the empire.

Internally, there are four holy families that restrict the behavior of the royal family, and to a certain extent, the four holy families together are equivalent to an alternative "royal family".

If the four holy families were determined not to stand on the same front as him, there would be turmoil in the future.

It's not what he wants to see.

Subconsciously, Shen Jian glanced at Cali Tyr beside him, this aristocratic lady is the daughter of the old duke of the Cali family, one of the four holy families, and to a certain extent, can represent the position of the Cali family.

Marrying her is equivalent to getting the support of the Cali family.

Among the remaining three holy families, the ghost duke Hillis is the new holy family master of the Ino Adam family, and if she is taken, the Ino Adam family is the strongest backing.

As for the Berchia family...... The eldest princess Aniya is the eldest daughter of the family, and now she is married to the eldest prince, as long as she is attacked, it will not be a problem to take down the Belchia family.

The eldest son of the last Ennuo family is the fiancé of the three princesses, and it is difficult to fight for it, but the three holy families all agreed, and the remaining one dared to disagree?

Come to think of this.

A little strangeness flashed in Shen Jian's eyes.

I feel a little novel.

Relying on soft rice to win the support of the four holy families, this experience is quite interesting.

He didn't mind doing it once.

Pondering.

The voice of the ghost clerk Kali Tyr sounded at the right time: "Your Highness, you can't relax your vigilance now, as long as you don't succeed to the throne for a day, then the result is not guaranteed, you also need to expand your influence and get the support of more nobles, only in this way can you stabilize your position." ”

"So?"

Shen Jian raised his eyebrows.

"So...... There's a social feast tonight to celebrate your return to the royal city, and you must come, you can't disappear for days without a reason. ”

Cali Trill admonished.

Full of distrust, he repeated: "Your Highness, did you hear clearly? ”

“……”

Shen Jian was a little silent for a while.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

But thought about it.

He agreed.

After all.

He also wanted to see what else the Three Princesses could make a big move.

He is interested in everything in the Buddha Kingdom.

……

Night.

The grand banquet held by the Cali family attracted the attention of all the nobles of the entire royal city.

Countless powerful nobles brought their daughters and granddaughters to the banquet.

Just because the Cali family released a word: His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will be present.

After dark.

The house of the Cali family was brightly lit, and a great nobleman with an invitation letter entered the hall.

The people who can participate in this banquet are all great nobles with family backgrounds and reputations in the royal city, at least they are also earls and above, and as far as the eye can see, there is no ghost king below the abyss level of terror.

Even the attendants who served were at or above the level of the Ghost King.

It can well be imagined.

How much importance the Cali family attaches to this banquet.

At this time.

Strings played.

The attendants walked through the group of ghosts with wine glasses, and the nobles who knew each other were also in groups of twos and threes, gathered around to discuss something, and their eyes fell on the entrance of the banquet from time to time, as if waiting for someone to enter.

The gaze of other nobles was much the same.

All staring in the same direction.

"You are also here to see His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"

"Hey, you guy asked knowingly, who doesn't know that the fourth prince is the future king now, if you don't build a good relationship now, you won't even see each other in the future."

"Vulgarity, clinging to the powerful, the face of the nobility has been lost by you."

There was a marquis who reprimanded.

The terrifying level of the ghost god level convinced his words.

Of course.

There are also those who are not convinced.

"Then I don't know what this Marquis is doing here? If you don't see the fourth prince, what are you doing at the banquet in the middle of the night? Drinking? ”

"Hmph, so you are vulgar, you only know how to cling to others, unlike me, I don't see that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has no hostess around him to take care of his family affairs, and I came here today to solve problems for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

The Marquis lifted the mustache at the corner of his mouth, pointed to his canary-like granddaughter in the center of the hall, and smiled disdainfully at the nobles.

“……”

it?

Boy.

Your abacus is played, and we have heard it from far away in the four realms.

Shameless.

It actually aimed at the weakness of men.

Even his granddaughter sent it over.

What kind of problem solving, isn't it just that I want to use a woman to climb the thigh of the fourth prince.

It's too doggy.

The nobles gritted their teeth.

I hate myself for why I didn't give birth to a daughter, even if I want to give birth now, it's too late.

This monstrous wealth was missed so stubbornly.

I don't know if I can send a goddaughter now.

Just thinking about it.

There was movement at the entrance to the banquet.

Many of the nobles standing there were smiling grimaces and walking over with wine glasses.

The ghosts were shocked.

I understand that the protagonist of this feast has appeared.

Sure enough.

The next second.

A tall, well-dressed man walked in, with well-defined features, magical golden pupils, long golden hair in a shawl, and a blood-stained hemp rope tied around his wrist.

It was Shen Jian.

As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

Many female ghosts were exclaimed.

The ghost is full of brilliance.

At the same time.

Shen Jian's eyes were also glancing.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The eldest prince, the three princesses, didn't come to make trouble?

It's so disappointing.
