"Like this," the old man's words slowly sounded, "the soul never stops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Until all our enemies are destroyed. ”

"Or Walton was killed. ”

"But if then, I swear in the name of the kings of all the past, the world will come to an end. ”

The old man's words fell gently, but Tails sensed that the five Grand Dukes on his left and right hands were all moving naturally or unnaturally in the dark.

"I believe it is a great weapon, but destruction and vengeance alone may not be able to spark its brilliance," Tails said with a little meaning, "Since it was once held in the hands of such a great man, presumably, Necajou's wisdom and heroism, personality and brilliance are also the reason for the greatness of the Soul Killing Spear." ”

According to the plan, an expected conflict would take place between Nunn and Tails.

The hunter's trap will be laid at that time.

The old man did not answer.

Although he knew that it was acting, Tails still curled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

The atmosphere was stiff.

At that moment, Tails could understand what the lords of the Stellar Nation were thinking when they looked at Kessel.

[No one knows, a king who lives alone and has no scruples...... What kind of thing will be done ......] The scene of the one-eyed dragon Gouster forcing the palace in the Hall of Stars is still vivid.

Tails suddenly became nervous inexplicably.

He swallowed softly, then saluted respectfully in place.

"Tails Bright, as the second prince of the Kingdom of Stars, represents my father, His Majesty Cather, the thirty-ninth supreme king of the Kingdom of Stars, the Southern Isles, and the Western Desert," Tails controlled his body not to be nervous - this began to become easier after gaining that fluctuating power, while reciting the practiced lines word by word: "Visit the glorious Exeter, and the glorious Longxiao City, and visit the equally respected and prestigious Grand Duke of Longxiao City......"

"And the ruler of the entire kingdom of Exeter, a convincing co-king—"

"'King by Nature' (the_born_king), His Majesty Nunn Walton. ”

Born King.

This is the nickname of Nunn VII, which is not called by many people, but it is widely known.

It is often said that at a young age, he showed the talent of a lord who could govern a land.

Almost born to be king.

Tails raised his body, looked at the old man's unchanged but frowning cold expression, and said slowly after taking a deep breath:

"My father and I deeply understand your loss and grief. ”

"He asks me, on behalf of the Bright Star Family, to express his deepest apologies to you and the Walton family, and to express his condolences for the misfortune of His Highness Moral. ”

This is a feud between two families, not between two countries, at least to be clear - this is a warning to him in advance.

"But he believes in your character and ability, believes that you can make the best choice, and the Bright Star Family is willing to provide all possible help to make up for and save the consequences of the tragedy. ”

"And here I am," Tails said, "to bring the most peaceful and friendly message from the Bright Star Family." ”

Now, he has to wait for a response from the other party.

Silence ensued.

For a moment, Tails could only hear the muffled sound of the stove and the cold wind outside the stone hall.

Five pairs of eyes in the darkness stared motionless at him.

And the only old man who had the right to reply did not move at all, and his blue eyes were as dim as ever.

Just when he felt as if a century had passed, His Majesty Noon VII, the co-king of Exeter and the Grand Duke of Longxiao City, the natural king, finally inhaled slowly, raised his head uprightly, and looked at Tails with a face full of vicissitudes and tiredness.

"I'm very old. ”

"Only slightly younger than your grandfather, King Eddie of the Stars, but I don't have as many children as him," King Nunn sighed, his words moving at an extremely slow pace that made one feel the chill in his tone, "I didn't have my eldest son until I was thirty years old. ”

"And Moral...... It's a child I only had in my forties. ”

"I remember when he was your age, he leaned on my seat here and begged me to let him go out of the palace and hunt with the help of the White Guards. ”

King Nunn's expression was numb, and his eyes revealed mixed remembrance and sorrow.

"I always laughed and agreed. ”

"But after his brother's death, I'm always careful," Nunn squinted and shook his head slowly, "I can't let him be hurt in the slightest...... Can't ......"

"But reason tells me anyway," King Nunn straightened up, his tone flat, and approached Tails, "the child has to grow up in the fall." ”

There was silence for more than ten seconds.

Only the breathing of the Grand Dukes on both sides could be heard.

Reason told Tails that even if he was acting, Nunn's emotions at this time were by no means fake, and it was better for him not to speak.

If it was all Nunn's plan......

Finally, King Nunn exhaled, closed his eyes, and said slowly:

"The day before I sent him south, Morar told me that he had a sweetheart, but he didn't come from a good background. ”

"So he came to beg for my help, hoping that I would allow and bless their union. ”

"I'm not very happy......"

King Nunn leaned back in his chair, "Do you know what I said to him?"

As usual, a sense of foreboding loomed over Tails.

He comforted himself that everything was under King Nunn's control.

"I said ......"

King Nunn opened his eyes, looked at his open right palm, and said numbly and coldly:

"'Let's talk about it when you get back'"

"That's what I said......"

"Wait for you to ......," King Nunn's voice began to tremble unconsciously.

Several Grand Dukes turned to their Majesty with unrecognizable expressions.

"Come back ......"

In the next moment, King Nunn suddenly clenched his right hand and smashed it on the long table with a fist!

"Boom!"

Tails didn't dare to take a breath of air, and quietly watched a father who had lost his son express his sentimentality very truly.

"That's my only, only remaining son...... "The old man's expression became painful.

"I should watch him become a real man and warrior, and then, before dying, give him my place, my wealth, my power, my everything, to the Morals. Nunn VII's tone was remorseful and hopeless:

"But I can only sit here and listen to a little boy apologizing in a false way," said King Nunn, his tone became more and more flat, but the atmosphere became more and more wrong: "I am sorry that your son died in our place." ”

"And you'd better not do anything. ”

Tails' heart sank.

It was fine before, but now it's a ......

Something terrible.

Is the rough part coming?

He reminded himself secretly.

The old king let out a long sigh, and the pathos obviously made several grand dukes a little uncomfortable, only to see them quickly look at each other and exchange glances.

"Why?" said King Nunn, looking up, frowning and continuing in a low voice, "Because you are a king." ”

"Because you are almost seventy years old, because you carry a family, because you have to maintain the balance of the country......"

"Because once you do something to him, you will pay the price of an all-out war, and you will not stop ......"

Tails' face changed, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, I come with the greatest sincerity of the stars and the bright stars......"

"Don't mention sincerity," but Nunn didn't give him a chance to speak, but interrupted him with a numb expression and a cold tone, "When your only son is slaughtered like a livestock in the wilderness." ”

"It doesn't matter what sincerity, what kind of apology. ”

"Because that's my son. ”

The Grand Dukes unnaturally adjusted their sitting postures, but no one made a sound.

"In the face of all this...... As a king, you fucking can't do anything. ”

Tails eagerly adjusted his breathing, pondering the wording of his response.

How would King Nunn take advantage of this situation and set a trap to lure out that secret collaborator? Nicolai and Slais didn't say much.

He turned his gaze to the five archdukes whose faces were hidden in the darkness.

Who is it?

"You know, your father is clever enough to make you apologize—to protect you and save the war at the same time," King Nunn raised his left hand and clenched it into a fist in the air, his voice still trembling, but slowly calming down, "but he is humiliating me, humiliating the dignity of a father, laughing at my incompetence......"

"Send his son, whom he has just found, to another father who has lost his son. ”

"Apologize?"

The King's expression was cold and flat, but Tails was more and more frightened.

Wrong.

It's acting, yes - Tails felt the atmosphere in front of him, trying to calm his breath: just like Nicolai and Srice said......

King Nunn will be tough on me......

There are even some ...... Brusque.

All I need to do is ......

"Sonorous!"

Just then, Tails was caught by a metallic crunch.

"Your Majesty!"

An exclamation of surprise from an archduke closest to the king.

Just now, King Nunn had a cold face and pulled out the sword on the former's waist!

Tails gasped.

Isn't it just acting...... Really, to the point of using a knife and a gun?

King Nunn's arm stretched.

"Boom!"

A cross-sword, thrown from afar.

It slammed into the ground in front of Tails, clanging.

The latter couldn't help but take a step back.

At this time, the almost indifferent dark figures of several Grand Dukes came into Tails' eyes.

Tails could only passively wait for King Nunn's next move, and at the same time, he forced himself to start thinking about the situation of the Grand Dukes in front of him.

What are they thinking? Can they not react to such a situation as the Prince of Stars?

Will they see through the show? You know, Nicollet has been ...... before.

Wait a minute.

Wrong!

Tails gritted his teeth and looked in disbelief at the lord's longsword encrusted with precious rubies at his feet.

Something must be wrong.

Right now.

A crucial question, but never been remembered, flashed through Tails' mind in an instant:

Nicolai and Slais, the two people who proposed to him King Nunn's willingness to cooperate.

One is the leader of the White-Bladed Guard, and the other is King Nunn's solid trade collaborator.

But they really ...... Purely for the sake of King Nunn?

To put it more frighteningly, were they really members of Nunn VII?

Tails felt a chill in his heart.

If not......

What about their previous so-called "Nunn's proposal"......

The so-called trap...... What is hunting......

Thinking of this, Tails' clenched left hand couldn't help but tremble.

No—wouldn't you?

"You're coming to apologize?" Under the gaze of all the Grand Dukes, Nunn VII calmly raised his head: "What a bravery. ”

"Let's see how brave you are," King Nunn glared at him with a blank face:

"A sincere apology, of course, can't stop at words. ”

Tails' pupils constricted.

Marquis Sleis's words rang in his ears again:

His Majesty Nunn will show a tough attitude towards you, probably ...... It's going to be a little rough.

Somewhat rough?

In the next second, the words of Nunn VII came unequivocally:

"Pick up this sword. ”

Under the different reactions of all the Grand Dukes, I saw King Nunn's face as cold as ice, and he said word by word:

"Slit your own throat. ”

At that moment, Tails looked at Nunn's eyes full of hatred and anger, and his mind went blank. (To be continued.) )
