I have slackened, I have been lazy, I have been lazy.

Looking at King Chaman's steady and indifferent expression, Tails, who was in a cold sweat, suddenly realized this sadly.

Even though he thought that he had been very vigilant in the past six years, and he was also worried in the eyes and whispers of the Northlanders, compared to the days when he was full of dangers and forced him to fight with all his might, the prince's life now was still too comfortable and leisurely.

I don't know when even Tails didn't realize that he had unconsciously become accustomed to such a comfortable rhythm, so that he suddenly faced a terrifying enemy like Charman Rumba, and in a thrilling game that was even worse than six years ago, he seemed to be out of ground and unable to advance and retreat for a long time.

Tails even began to suspect that the reason why Rumba came to him suddenly and boldly at this time was to catch the unprepared prince by surprise.

"You know," said King Chaman, who was unconcerned about the prince's expression, nodded with satisfaction:

"It's good that you admit it, and not pretend to be deaf and dumb. ”

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes: "I don't have to 'field test' the power of this truth." ”

Tails' face became more and more ugly.

It's been six years, and Tails is breathing in a trance—Rumba stands at the top of the country, refining and sharpening himself in the desperate struggle with the Grand Duke and his vassals, sharpening and sharpening his skills, and losing everything if he is not careful.

And he, the prince of the stars, a guest and a pawn who was actually a hostage, was imprisoned at the highest point of this famous city by order of the king for six years.

Accompanied and protected by his guards, under the surveillance and isolation of many forces, he lived in silence and solitude with books and servants as companions.

He can't reach more people, he can't get information farther, he stays away from the most dangerous and complex games, and he is confused and corrupted by the illusion of peace.

In a way, Rumba won, and he spent six years fighting and at the same time taking six years away from me.

Tails clenched his fists.

Maybe...... A small voice in Tails' heart called: Maybe it's time for me to go.

Leave Longxiao City and return to ......

But.

Tails lifted his eyes slightly, looking blankly into King Chaman's eyes.

Breathe, Tails, breathe.

The game is not over yet, and it is not yet time to give up.

Even, the battle has just begun.

Right, old friend?

The familiar sins of the River of Hell radiated through his nerves and veins, spreading through his body, like the fire of hell and the frost of the far north, stabbing Tails with a thrill.

Think about it, Tails.

Fear, nervousness, frustration, frustration, suspicion, countless superfluous emotions instantly left him.

Tails leaned back in his seat, folded his arms, and frowned.

First of all—Tails thought coldly: Rumba said that the Scarlet Witch had not told him a word.

Is this true?

If it is true, it means that the king has learned about the biggest top secret of Longxiao City from another source.

He needs to be confirmed.

King Chaman was unhurried and intriguingly waited for the prince's response, as if everything was under control.

"You're not sure, are you. ”

"For this chip that can overturn Longxiao City and your own at the same time, 'field test' or something is just talking," Tails said expressionlessly, "Since when did you start to doubt?"

There was a considerable amount of interest in King Chaman's eyes.

"From day one. ”

Tails gritted his teeth: the first day, that is......

"'Triumph' is a token handed over to Nekaru by the King of Revival, and it has a high status and great significance: for many years, it has symbolized Walton's legacy and the authority of Longxiao City, and has been worn by successive Grand Dukes of Longxiao City, passed down from generation to generation, and everyone knows it. ”

The king's voice came coldly, giving a chilling illusion: "But that night, when my men took Nunn's body away, his fingers were empty. ”

"Until I was in the Hall of Heroes and saw you put the ring on that girl. ”

Tails moved slightly, remembering the confrontation in the hall back then.

"Do you suspect that I took the ring in private and put it on for Thelma?" the prince said softly, "Seems arbitrary?"

King Chaman shook his head.

"No, I don't think those former Whiteblade Guards would have the audacity to desecrate the corpse of the Former King, nor do I think they would allow you to rip off the corpse of Nunn, representing the supreme token of the Walton family. ”

"Therefore, the 'triumph' could only have been taken from King Nunn's finger and given to his granddaughter while he was still alive. ”

The look in King Chaman's eyes became more and more dangerous: "Then it is even more suspicious. ”

Tails looked stunned, and he figured out the key.

The news of the rumba does not come from the dark room and the red witch.

This terrible tyrant found this secret on his own.

In this case......

The king snorted coldly, "There's no way Nunn knew he was about to die, why did he hastily peel off the ring representing the Dragonlance family and secretly hand it over to a girl who couldn't even be trusted by a vassal?"

"Wouldn't it be better to gather vassals in public, pass the ring in full view, determine the heir, and use the authority of the natural king to endorse the inheritance of the Grand Duke and pave the way for the female Grand Duke?"

"Then I thought of you," King Chaman said silently, "On the day that the first king privately passed the Ring of Triumph to his granddaughter, you were also in Longxiao City. ”

"Tails Bright Star. ”

The prince lowered his head to prevent the other from seeing his expression.

"That night, the reason why the first king wanted to pass the ring to his granddaughter was so that you could see it, and let the Bright Star family see it, right? ”

"He chose you, Tails," strange King Chaman's voice was filled with respect and disdain, "because of the status of the Bright Star Family and the Star King, and because of the special you showed that night, he chose you as the husband of his granddaughter, as the husband of the future Grand Duchess, and after his death, with the power of the stars, to continue the Dragon Lance Clan's rule over Longxiao City and protect your wife." ”

The prince could hear his heart beating at a steady pace.

At that moment, the thought patterns that he had once been familiar with returned to Tails's mind.

In the conversation just now, he first asked if I was engaged to Thelma.

Then he asked about my alliance with King Nunn.

It's both......

"For many years, I have been puzzled by the conclusion of this alliance between you," King Chaman said in a cold voice, "You are right about one thing, Tails, the heir of the Star Kingdom, how can he marry the Grand Duke of Longxiao City in the face of many opposition?"

The king drew closer to Tails' face, and the prince could even see himself reflected in his eyes.

"Two doubts. ”

"First of all, how could you possibly believe that at the end of King Nunn's life, this fragile alliance would still be effective and profitable in the face of many obstacles?

"Secondly, how can King Nunn ensure that what he did was not to lure the wolf into the house, that the covenant he made would not fall apart after his death, how to ensure that the stars would not break his promise, withdraw while grabbing profits, and even send the Walton family and Longxiao City to hell in order to fight Exeter?"

King Chaman sat back in his seat, and the domineering words came to an end.

Leaving endless silence in the carriage, as well as deep thought.

Tails narrowed his eyes slightly.

Well, Rumba's phrase, "not the real Walton bloodline", does not mean that he knows the whole truth.

What happened in the Hall of Heroes on that cruel night six years ago was more than just the old king giving his surname to a girl who was not of his blood.

That night.

Tails' pale face appeared in front of his eyes.

He turned his attention to the king.

In this way, the only facts that Rumba can be sure of are ......

From now on, it's up to him to settle the matter himself.

In the dimly lit carriage, Tails took a deep breath.

"Good guess," the Prince of the Stars carefully considered his words, reminding himself of the existence of the adversary he was facing, "but there was still one link missing. ”

King Chaman raised an eyebrow.

I only heard Tails say lightly: "Chloehi, how much did she tell you?"

There was silence in the carriage.

The prince waited patiently.

Sure enough, the next moment, King Chaman's face moved, and an emotion similar to surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Interesting. ”

King Chaman seemed a little surprised: "How do you know?"

No, I don't know.

Tails said silently in his heart.

Until you helped me confirm this.

"Kambida's audience," Tails replied dryly, "the cold-faced warrioress, with her irritability in the face of the herald, and her attitude towards Kambida, and the inexplicable words she uttered to the Grand Duchess at the end, and, of course, her eagerness to fight when she came to invite me into the carriage. ”

King Chaman watched him silently, and after a few seconds, King Gongju sneered.

"Ash is a very interesting girl. ”

"I've never seen a woman as proud as Lhasa be so fascinated by - I guess there's a set of the Tower of the End, right, a long time ago, Kaslan was also fascinated by a woman in the Tower of Finishing. ”

Tails shook his head, not wanting to hear the king's nonsense, and hit the nail on the head: "I guess she introduced you to her father, Lord Byrne Mielke?"

King Chaman's eyelids moved.

"Not exactly," the king snorted, "and while we were discussing the Liberty League, we happened to talk about the eldest son of King Suril Walton, who had broken the Citadel of Liberty. ”

"My lovely deputy captain of the guard told me how she had been raised by Lady Adele, the princess. ”

"Among them, of course, was her father, the faithful ruler of the late King, Byrne Mielke," said King Chaman, in a deep voice, "and how he did his best to protect the poor princess and persuade the cruel prince in the unhappy marriage of Prince and Lady Surir." ”

I see.

Tails thought silently, but then his heart moved.

Wrong.

If Chloehi had known about that from the beginning, it wouldn't have had to wait at all......

"Who found the problem?"

The prince asked quietly, "You can't confirm anything from a little girl's memories alone. ”

King Chaman was silent for three full seconds.

For a long time, Tails couldn't help frowning.

This time, Charman Rumba's voice was soft, as if it had come from afar, and as if it was afraid of waking up the sleeping baby: "It's Harold." ”

Tails was stunned.

"Harold?"

Wait, he said......

The king sneered with an uncertain emotion, like sadness, and like anger.

"When Prince Suril was assassinated, my brother, Harold Rumba, was the first to arrive at the scene - of course, the assassin was hiding in his ranks, remember?"

King Chaman's voice slowly regained its calmness, as if it were narrating something from someone else's house:

Harold once described to me the tragedy: the prince was covered in blood and fell in the carriage, his body was cold, and his personal guard held the body of the princess, knelt outside the carriage, looked at the baby girl in her arms, and wept heartbreakingly. ”

Tails didn't speak.

Rumba sneered: "Elhasa is very interested in this detail: why does the White Blade Guard, and later the official Lord Mielke, seem to care more about the prince and princess?"

The prince's expression was grim, he was getting closer and closer.

Following this line, Elazar also found that after the election of the king, the Grand Duchess ascended to the throne, but for the past twelve years she had been conscientiously guarding Miss Walton, and Mielke, who was supposed to continue to protect Longxiao City with her life, disappeared from office, and for six years, even Ash did not know where her father was, as if he had been disheartened overnight, and had given up everything, including his sword oath and loyalty. ”

The King's words continue:

"Soon, he found more: some of the servants and guards in a certain area of Valhalla, all missing or killed in the Calamity six years ago, and none of them remained," "and they happened to be the Grand Duchess, the baby's attendants. ”

"Viscount Elasa Kambida," Tails sighed, "that's why people call him 'Night Falcon'?

The king shook his head, but did not answer.

Lhasa made a bold guess, and Chloehi beat him three times for it: the current Grand Duke of Longxiao City was not her father's daughter, but the blood of the Mielke official. ”

King Chaman's eyes shot a terrifying cold light: "I guess, in order to protect the secrets of the bloodline, the Regency of Lisbane has made him disappear forever?"

Very good.

He didn't know.

Tails silently told himself that he only knew half the truth.

All he knew was Alex.

But he doesn't know Little Slipper, he doesn't know Selma.

"I found out the truth like this," Tails said as he rubbed his forehead in pain, as if helplessly, "Your men are really talented." ”

The king gently grabbed the sword beside him.

"Finally, I understand the answer to those two doubts: in addition to the marriage contract, in order to win trust and seduce you, King Nunn must have given you more, and gave you a bargaining chip that is enough to destroy Longxiao City and Walton, so that a confidant like Lisban will also be afraid of three points, so that Yongxing City can still remotely control the restless Longxiao City even after the death of King Nune. ”

"And you're quite happy with that. ”

King Chaman shook his head, not knowing whether he was sighing or being proud: "I think this is one of the reasons why the Scarlet Witch betrayed the previous king: although she never admitted it. ”

Tails let out a deep sigh.

The battlefield is already clear.

"So, this is a secret that can eliminate the justice and unity of the female lord of Longxiao City at the same time, and also weaken the legitimacy of the co-king, we hold each other's weaknesses," Tails said indifferently, "I guess, you want to win over Longxiao City, on your side, or at least not on Ronnie's side?"

"Ah, Tails, we've known each other for a long time," King Chaman snorted, "and we've fought more than once—it's made us get to know each other." ”

The prince took a deep breath and shook his head, "Why am I doing this?"

"It's just your grudge with Long Xiao City," he shrugged seemingly indifferently, "If you want to destroy Long Xiao City together, then go ahead, I can get out of it." ”

Charman sneered.

"Even if, if I and the Grand Duchess of Longxiao City are all gone, will you, let the Star Kingdom, the hopes and interests in Longxiao City be disappointed?"

"Hope for Longxiao City?"

Tails smiled softly, and he replied without showing weakness: "I'm not even a king, it's too early to talk about this." ”

King Chaman's eyes narrowed, and his gaze became intriguing.

"Yes, you're not a king yet, but you've done so much for Longxiao City......"

In the next second, the king's tone changed, and his words revealed mystery and weirdness at the same time: "But what if I said that you did your best to support the female archduke to ascend to the throne and fight hard, all this that you maintained in Longxiao City was actually based on terrible lies?"

"And everything you think is just a joke to pave the way for others?"

At that moment, looking at King Chaman's expression, Tails frowned slightly.

He instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"What do you mean?" the prince clenched his fist unconsciously.

A joke about laying the foundation and paving the way?

Wrong......

"I remember the first time we met, and when you rejected my offer, you said: Be cautious of those who want to be your allies?" King Chaman's face was as cold as if it were about to drip water: "No matter how sweet they are, sincerely?"

Tails' brow tightened.

"Tails, Tails," King Charman shook his head, and said lightly in a tone that made Tails' heart furious:

"Do you really think that our beloved former king, Nunn Walton, is an ally worthy of your trust?"

Tails' breathing grew smaller.

"Do you think he's going to be so generous as to put in your hands the chips that could destroy the family, and trust you with all his heart, that you will go to great lengths to protect the Waltons?"

"You think you've made a win-win deal with Nunn, you get a wife who represents Longxiao City, he gets Walton's continuation, and everyone gets what they want?"

"Do you think Nunn would be tolerant enough to put up with someone who is not of his family's blood, sitting in the Grand Duke's seat, and all he cares about is that vain and empty family name?"

I saw the king whisper: "You underestimate our ancestors too much." ”

Tails looked at King Charman suspiciously, and didn't know why:

"If you don't have anything to say anymore......"

"Moral is alive. The king said silently.

At that moment, in the face of a slightly unfamiliar name, Tails, who couldn't react, was slightly stunned.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, he subconsciously said:

"Who?"

King Chaman's face had a strange and terrifying expression.

"Moral," the next moment, the king softly spat out a name: "Moral Walton." ”

Rub...... Moral?

Tails chewed on the name, unconsciously pale.

What the?

That's, that's ......

"When I first found out, I was even more shocked than you. ”

The king added as if nothing had happened: "Yes, six years ago, the beginning of it all, the assassination of the one in the realm of the stars, which led to a series of subsequent upheavals between you and me, laid the foundation for each other's future fate, and made you a hostage, Prince Exeter......"

At that moment, King Chaman's eyes seemed to burn with terrible fire.

"Alive. ”

Time seems to stand still in this moment.

It seemed that even the air in the carriage was going to freeze for this terrible moment.

Tersche was genuinely stunned.

What is he saying?

The prince?

That one...... The Moral prince who was assassinated by Rumba, Pefit, Arend, and the 'new star' of the stars?

Still alive?

That is to say......

A terrible thought crept into his mind in an instant.

God knows how hard it took Tails to suppress the tremors all over his body and the drastic change in his expression.

After a few seconds, Tails stared, his face ugly and incredulous: "You...... This...... No way. ”

"Don't you understand, Tails," King Chaman's eyes flashed with resentment, word by word, as if chewing on the deepest hatred, "In Longxiao City, whether it is the deceased Ancestor King, or Lisbane, or the Meteorite, they all know and understand this. ”

Tails' brain struggled to hold on in a state of utter shock and shock.

"They all knew it, and they all waited patiently, looking forward to the day when Prince Moral would return. Before he returns, they use a fake archduchess to temporarily keep the power of the Walton family, and at the same time, they are in a relationship with you, and they are getting the help of the stars. ”

Charman I's words were like the most terrible poison, penetrating into every inch of Tails's mind: "From beginning to end, only two people have been kept in the dark, unaware. ”

"That's why I've come to you, Tails," the king looked at Tails, whose expression was almost frozen, and his gaze swept over his slightly trembling left hand pressed to his knee, "You, and the poor Grand Duchess herself, are nothing but dolls in the palm of King Nunn's hands. ”

"Xingchen thinks that he has a bargaining chip that can balance Longxiao City, and he has worked hard to maintain his relationship with Longxiao City, conscientiously supporting the rule of the Walton family, hoping to one day collect the reward from the marriage between the king and the archduchess?"

"But years later, when Moral returns, his legitimacy will prevail, the existence of the Grand Duchess will be overthrown, your marriage will be a laughing stock, the promise you received from King Nunn will prove to be nothing more than a foolish joke, and everything you have built will be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”

He's lying.

He must be lying.

That's all Tails could tell himself.

In order for me to ......

Tails still stared at the king with disbelief in his eyes.

It was as if he had returned to that terrible night.

Alex twitching.

Mielke crying in pain.

The sneering King Nunn.

And also......

Selma...... No, it's a little slippery head.

and the ring in her hand.

At that moment, the prince felt that even his mind was about to be frozen.

"As I said, I know my uncle too well, unlike you, who has only been with him for a short day. ”

"Nunn, he's got everyone in his hands. ”

The king's hand ran his hand over the sword between his knees, and in a sneer, he bit out the following words: "He has deceived your trust and faith with an unprecedented lie, and with a seemingly sweet and sincere bait, he has fished your persistence and loyalty, and from your self-righteous thoughts, he has reaped the prey that the dragon desires most." ”

King Chaman slowly raised his right hand and slowly gathered his fingers:

"This is the true means and strategy of King Nunn, a 'gift' from the previous kings. ”

In the next second, Charman Rumba's right hand clenched suddenly.

It's as if he just choked someone's throat.

In a cold sweat, Tails' breath trembled.

"Welcome to the brutal real world," an ugly and cold smile appeared on King Chaman's colorless face in the dimness:

"Guardian of Dragon City, His Highness Tails. ”

?? For the sake of your health, please wear your seatbelt at all times.

?? By a swordless with a serious face

?
