Chapter 93: A Night That Changed Fate

"When His Highness Suril collapsed in a pool of blood, his eyes were ......," Mielke pressed his chin to his daughter's forehead, grief-stricken, "I know that we have committed an unpardonable sin...... I could have stopped her ......"

"Then why didn't you?" King Nunn looked up, gritting his teeth, and interrupted the weeping man on the ground word by word, "You just stood there and watched Suril being murdered by that woman?"

"Or are you looking forward to it in your own heart, looking forward to Surril disappearing soon," the last sentence of King Nunn almost roared, "Looking forward to the disappearance of the barrier between you and that woman?"

The engaged officer was shocked!

He looked at King Nunn with trembling and terrified eyes, and at that moment, Tails really felt the fear, sadness, and helplessness in Mielke's heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

and the deepest despair and numbness.

There is also the fear of being told the central thing.

Michael's expression gradually changed.

He slowly lowered his head, his face twisted hideously, and the last punch hit the ground at his side, and he shouted angrily:

"No!"

The officer gasped violently, and his expression changed.

"I'm going to turn myself in to you!" Mielke gasped, his head almost touching the ground, "But Adele...... Adele put a dagger to her neck and cried and forced me to take them away...... She never wanted to stay in this place again......"

"But I can't...... I know I can't!I'm a Northlander, I'm a Whiteblade Guard, and I'm a brother and subordinate of Suril!" Mielke's cry became more and more obvious, "I can't!"

"Forgive me, Adele......" Mielke trembled, holding his head and crying weakly on the ground like a child, "I can't!"

"But you said nothing, and let Suril rot in lies and deceit," said King Nunn, whose expression was numb, "and bring back to my court the sins of this child, you and the woman!"

Mielke lowered his hands and looked desperately at his daughter, at her motionless face.

"But ......"

"Alex," he said, his voice shaking as if his jaw was twitching, "Alex, she doesn't know anything!"

"She's innocent!"

Mielke cupped his daughter's face and closed his eyes in agony as tears arose.

Little Slippery lowered her head in fear, but she felt Tails' hand shake slightly.

She looked up in fear and horror, and saw the Prince of the Stars pursed his lips and stared intently at King Nunn.

The gaze was cold and indignant.

"Why, do you feel wronged?" said King Nunn with a mocking and deranged sneer, "Do you feel pain, do you feel that your whole world has collapsed?"

"Because I killed your daughter?"

Mielke took a sharp breath and stared into King Nunn's eyes.

Tails took a deep breath as he watched Mielke in silence.

"Remember this feeling," said King Nunn's deep, heavy voice, with a chilling meaning, "and you deserve it." ”

Mielke hugged his daughter, his teeth clenched, his eyes red from tears and excitement, and he roared in pain.

"If you feel indignant, coward, bastard," King Nunn did not care about the enemy who was so close at hand, "come and avenge her!"

Mielke's fists were clenched by him, like a beast with anger accumulating to the extreme, his eyes mixed with hatred and pain, despair and madness, all kinds of emotions intertwined.

Hearing this, Tails frowned.

He looked out of the hall.

What about the White Guards?

If Mielke really rises up and assassinates the king......

Damn it.

Mielke stared at the King, his breathing slowly increasing and his fists shaking.

But the king looked at his officer with fear, as if he were not a strong warrior of the former White Guards, but a weak man in chains, powerless to resist.

"Come, kill your king," King Nunn's eyes flashed with complicated colors, and he only heard him snort softly, and said slowly, "just like back then, you used your incompetence and cowardice, wavering and weakness......"

"Killing Suril is the same. ”

At that moment, Mielke's expression was shocked, like being struck by lightning!

He opened his mouth slightly, his lips quivering slightly, as if to say something.

But Michael slowly shut up at the end.

I saw that his face was colorless, and then his body shook and collapsed to the ground again.

Sobbing silently.

The little slippery head exclaimed.

The king did not speak again.

Tails struggled to regulate his breathing, controlling his emotions.

Today's Hall of Heroes has given him too many shocks.

For a moment, all that remained in the hall was Mielke's irregular sobs.

It was a long time before King Nunn snorted meaninglessly.

"Get out of here," said the old king wearily, "and don't appear before me again." ”

Mielke looked up numbly.

"Byrne Mielkeβ€”live like this, till you die," King Nunn raised his eyes, his gaze darkened, and his eyebrows twitched, "and live forever in the torments of guilt, remorse, loneliness, and pain, never forgiven, never at peace." ”

"This is your punishment...... For Suril. ”

Mielke chuckled maniacally, looked down at his daughter, and suddenly began to sob.

"Get out!" The next second, King Nunn roared angrily, "Take your sins with you...... Get out!"

Little Slippery Head shook again, and if it weren't for Tails' support, she would have almost collapsed to the ground.

Mielke stared blankly at King Nunn for several seconds before he unconsciously held Alex's body and slowly stood up.

He turned around insensitively.

"The child you are holding is a disgrace to Walton and a symbol of a traitor," the king looked at his back with a terrible look in his eyes: "She shall not be buried, shall not defile my land......"

"If I find her, you bury her anywhere in Exeter...... Even if there are only ashes left, I will send someone to dig her out and feed her to the wild dogs!" King Nunn ended his words coldly.

Hearing this cruel decision, Tails also sighed and frowned at King Nunn.

Mielke hugged his daughter and shuddered.

But he still gritted his teeth and took it one step at a time......

Walk forward with difficulty.

"Miss Alex......" The little slippery head sniffled, and subconsciously wanted to follow, but was pulled by Tails.

"No, don't," Tails whispered, shaking his head, "it's over." ”

"That young lady of yours. ”

The little slippery head shuddered violently, and looked at Tails helplessly and aggrieved.

Tails, on the other hand, just quietly watched Mielke's back, motionless.

Nicolas appeared in the doorway of the hall, looking at Michael with a complicated expression.

But Mielke just looked down at his daughter, his face ashen, oblivious to everything around him, deaf to him.

Until Nicollet's voice came slowly:

"My blood is an oath, my body is a testimony, my sword is a witness, and my soul is a sacrifice......"

Mielke looked up sharply and came back to his senses.

He stopped, looked at Nicolat in a daze, and listened to the rest of the Meteorite's words:

"Defend against a strong enemy, a hundred battles first, until the blood is exhausted. ”

"Defend life, sacrifice fearlessly, until the extinction of humanity. ”

"Guarding the future, glorifying faith until the sun and moon dim. ”

"Inherit hope and shine until all things sleep forever. ”

Mielke closed his eyes in pain, tears streaming down again.

"All the way, my brother of the Blade Oath," Nicolai finished reading the oath, his eyes subtle, his expression pained as he looked at Mirk:

"In the Book of Legends, this is the end of your story. ”

Mielke took a breath and smiled with tears in his eyes.

He strode forward numbly.

Rubbed shoulders with his old boss.

"Don't forget Your Majesty's words," Nicolai said calmly, turning to Mielke behind him, "if we find out that you dare to bury her in the border......

Mielke chuckled in confusion.

In the next second, Mielke walked out of the Hall of Heroes with a blank face and a dazed look in his arms, holding the girl's body.

Get out of the place he swore to guard.

Tails watched as Michael's figure disappeared into the doorway.

Then, with a low gasp, the prince of the stars turned and asked what he had been holding back for a long time, and had always wanted to say:

"Why?"

King Nunn raised his grey gaze.

Alex ...... It's just a little girl who doesn't know anything," Tails said with an ugly look on his face as he walked away from Little Slipper's side, "Whether it's Suril or Adele, what do these things have to do with her? ”

King Nunn snorted.

"Send her away, isolate her...... You have a better way!" Tails controlled his breathing.

"Ah, I have discovered another characteristic of you," King Nunn sneered, and his tone was sad and silent, "overflowing with an excess sense of justice...... Who taught you these things?"

"There's no justice in this," Tails clenched his fists, his mind popping up of the children in the abandoned house, their ragged, yellow-skinned appearances, "She's just an innocent child." ”

They don't deserve that.

"Every day she lives is an insult to the Waltons and a threat to our cooperation," King Nunn replied quietly, "It was necessary and the best option." ”

"You can find a thousand reasons to justify your actions," Tails snorted coldly: "Political necessity, where the interests lie, secrecy, revenge, punishment, impulse, and even saying that you are forced by your position, the last resort, the best choice......"

"But none of this justifies or justifies what you have done," Tails said as he looked at King Nunn and gritted his teeth, "You poisoned an innocent little girl of twelve, ending everything in her future, Nun Walton." ”

"Just to punish her father for his wrongdoing," Tails showed disgust, "do you feel happy, do you feel revenge?"

"Ha, you are sometimes more mature than the most cunning nobleman," King Nunn sneered, his face mocking, "sometimes more naΓ―ve than the dumbest of fools." ”

Tails ignored his laughter.

"I've seen a man who is angry with a child before," Prince Star, his head bowed and his fists clenched, "he couldn't face his failure and shame, so he took out his anger and hatred on an unrelated child. ”

"You're not much better than that coward," Tails gasped, remembering the flesh-piercing feel on his right hand, "Want to know what happened to him?"

King Nunn's eyes froze.

"Don't forget," the old king straightened up, snorting coldly, "if it weren't for the girl's birth, and the sins behind her, we wouldn't have gone south to the starsβ€”and you wouldn't be standing here." ”

"you, Nunn," Tails said unceremoniously, "let's get to know each other, put away your frivolous lies." ”

"In that case, whether there is an assassination or not, whether Prince Suril dies or not, Exeter will invade, sooner or later. ”

"So you're pitying her?" King Nunn sneered lowly, "I said, you'd better get used to this kind of life earlier, little prince...... Just as your enemies won't show mercy to your men just because you're an innocent seven-year-old. ”

Tails looked at him, suddenly chuckled and shook his head.

"Kaslan may be wrong, it's not that you've changed, it's not that you're old," Tails said mockingly, "but you're the way you are." ”

"Suril, Moral, Peverett, Mielke - do you know why they had such a tragedy?"

King Nunn frowned.

"If the Walton family has used such means and methods to govern your country and treat your vassals and subordinates in the past tens or hundreds of years," Tails said coldly, "don't expect them to repay you with loyalty and integrity. ”

"Your sons...... The reason why they died like that is because of you as a father. ”

Tails finished what he had to say and looked at the king in front of him.

He actually felt calm.

There was no accusation or offense to Exeter's consciousness and burden of being a king.

King Nunn looked at him steadily, and remained silent for a long time.

Until the old king's face became serious, he looked straight at Tails, and his eyes were very complicated.

"You think it's cruel, don't you?" said the king, softly, "you haven't seen anything more cruel. ”

Tails frowned slightly.

"You," said King Nunn, with the majesty of a king of a kingdom, "come to me." ”

Tails took a deep breath.

Damn old man.

And what to do?

He slowly raised his head, looked directly at King Nunn, and walked with his legs raised.

But he didn't even take a step.

"It's not you," the king's sword-like gaze crossed the Star Prince and shot coldly behind him.

King Nunn said coldly, "What I said ......"

"It's the kid. ”

Tails was stunned.

His pupils shrank suddenly!

Tails turned his head in a daze, looking at the little slippery head behind him.

The little slippery head who had been holding his breath all the time and didn't dare to take a sip realized something.

She shuddered.

The little slippery head glanced at the king in disbelief, and then looked at Tails as if asking for help.

She seemed to have never experienced anything like this, she was so panicked and terrified that she almost cried.

"Don't make me say it a third time. King Nunn looked at her with a grim face.

Xiao Slippery Head trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

But the experience of many years still made her walk towards the king with fearful steps.

Tails looked at everything in front of him suspiciously.

The little slippery head stood in front of King Nunn, staring at the ground and trembling.

"Since the assassination of Suril, I have protected Alex very closely," the old king said lightly, "Most people don't even know the name Alex, only this person. ”

"Thankfully, not many people know this secret, this truth. King Nunn's eyes were terrible, and his tone was firm:

"From the back kitchen to the bedroom, from the guards to the maids, everyone who knows Alex has been cleared of the way you just got here. ”

"Only the last one remains. ”

The little slippery head shook violently!

Tears slipped from her eyes: "No, I didn't see anything, I didn't know anything......"

King Nunn lowered his head, raised his right hand, and looked at the black ring on it with a subtle gaze.

Tails' breathing accelerated instantly!

He vaguely knew what the old king was going to do.

Tails hurriedly walked towards King Nunn, "Hey, you're ......"

But Tails didn't take two steps before he was firmly held by a strong hand from behind!

Pain came from the shoulder.

"Stay well," Nicolai the "Starfaller" behind him coldly restrained him, "Don't make trouble, little prince." ”

Tails suddenly felt like half of his body couldn't move.

"No, you saw the scene just now, that secret, right?" said King Nunn in an old, deep voice to the little slippery head:

"And you're one of the few people who knows of Alex's existence. ”

Little Slippery looked at Tails's fate and burst into tears, and she looked at King Nunn's expression again, and trembled in horror!

"Please, Your Majesty," she cried, "I will be very well-behaved, I will always be in the castle, I will not say anything......"

King Nunn continued to rub the "Triumph" on his finger and smiled softly.

Tails gritted his teeth and looked at the little girl in front of King Nunn.

No.

Damn it.

Tails glanced hatefully at Nicolais, then at King Nunn.

"Guess what," the next moment, King Nunn sneered and firmly grasped the hand of the little slippery head, "What will happen to you?"

"Nunn!" Tails struggled desperately, but his resistance was to no avail when suppressed by the leader of the White-Bladed Guard.

King Nunn's face turned cold, and he pulled the little slippery hand towards his right hand.

No.

The little slippery head was almost so frightened that he was about to cry: "No...... Not ......"

Tails gritted his teeth, pulled the JC dagger from his waist, and swung it at the meteorite at a strange angle!

The fourth set of offensive styles of the Northland military swordsmanship.

Spur style.

And then......

Tails' mouth opened wide in surprise.

He saw that King Nunn stretched out his right hand and put the ring on the palm of the little slippery head.

The little slippery head stared blankly at his palm, looking at the black gemstone ring with a silver ring on it.

"This is the token of the Walton family for generations, 'Triumph,'" said King Nunn calmly:

"From now on, you are Walton's last bloodline. ”

"It's me, King of Exeter and Grand Duke of Dragons, granddaughter of Nunn Walton. ”

"The daughter of Prince Suril Walton, the Marquis of Vine City, and the only daughter of Adele Walton. ”

Tails and Little Slippery looked at King Nunn in a daze.

"Thelma Alex Surril Walton. King Nunn whispered, "This is your name." ”

The little slippery head snorted unconsciously, his face pale.

After a few seconds, she finally realized what King Nunn's words meant.

The little girl with glasses trembled and held the "Triumph" and took a step back in fear.

Nicollet let go of Tails, letting go of the dagger he had stabbed at himself, snorting coldly.

But Tails had no time to care about his attitude.

He got up from the ground, and looked at King Nunn in astonishment, and at the little slippery head that was frightened and helpless.

"You have to forget everything about your past, whether it's where you came from, or the girl you served. King Nunn continued his emotionless, but forceful words:

"You will do my bidding, and become a Miss Walton. ”

"You're going to marry that kid as a condition for Bright Star to support and protect the Walton family, and the bond between the two families. ”

"Fear Him, listen to Him, serve Him, assist Him and sustain Him in the name of Thelma Walton. ”

The little slippery head trembled and glanced at Tails, and the eyes behind the glasses were watering with tears: "No......"

But King Nunn interrupted her plea.

"Remember your first middle name, Alex, which will forever remind you of who you really are......"

"Remind you, this fateful night. ”

"But it's also a warning," King Nunn's eyes flashed, "If you threaten the interests of Bright Star and Walton in any way, that kid can reveal your identity at any time...... A bloodline ritual can destroy everything, and trust me, you won't like that. ”

Little Slippery Head was so frightened that she even forgot to breathe, and only took a breath when she ran out of energy.

"And you, Tails," King Nunn turned his head and looked at the Star Prince with a deep expression, "today I have exposed the greatest secret of this family, the most terrible past, to you. ”

"Triumph is only the first lock, this is the second lock - and now you can take Walton with confidence. ”

"Our covenant is still valid. ”

Tails was shocked.

He looked at the little slippery head.

"Whether it's for your own sake or for your ridiculous mercy, you have to protect her, protect her identity," King Nunn's voice suddenly became tired and hoarse, "just as you protect Walton." ”

Xiao Slippery came back to his senses, looked at the ring in his palm, and began to tremble.

"No, please, Your Majesty......" Little Slippery said with a crying voice, "I'm afraid...... I don't know anything...... I can't ......."

"I'm not asking your opinion!" King Nunn turned his head sharply and looked at the little slippery head, causing the latter's words to stagnate, and the king's eyes flashed fiercely: "Do you understand?"

The little slippery head was so frightened that even his glasses were crooked, so he could only nod his head mechanically.

King Nunn smiled faintly.

Tails watched this scene in amazement, and his heart was full of feelings.

"All right," the old king sighed, and said slowly, "Tails, you already know everything you need to know......

King Nunn raised his gaze and said in a tired tone, "Go back to your room." ”

Tails gasped, clenching his fists.

He glanced at the little slippery head again, and looked at the other party's helpless and pitiful eyes.

Then gritted his teeth and turned away.

"And you," said King Nunn in a deep voice behind Tails, "and you'll sleep in Alex's bedroom from tonight......"

Tails' teeth tightened and tightened, and a small slippery scream came from behind him.

"If you've gotten bored at any point, think about today, think about the former owner of your bed......"

Tails' breathing slowly accelerated, and he could imagine the expression of the little slippery head at the moment.

"Think about Alex's fate, think about the painful appearance of her convulsions before she died......

Tails closed his eyes slightly, his feet getting slower and slower, and the sobbing sound of a small slippery head came from behind him.

"Think of those who died because of it, and think of how lucky you are......"

Tails stopped, and he took a deep breath.

"The servants and the back kitchen have been re-emptied, but you'll soon have new servants, so it's better to act decently......"

"Enough!"

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the Star Prince turned and stared angrily at King Nunn and the little slippery head that couldn't cry.

Tails gritted his teeth and strode forward, grabbing the wrist of the little slippery head.

Then, without saying a word, he pulled her to his side.

He could feel that the wrist of the little slippery head was still shaking.

"Don't be in a hurry, Tails," King Nunn said slowly, waving off Nicolai who was about to come forward, "and you will have time to get along with your fiancΓ©e in the future." ”

"That's it," Tails looked coldly at King Nunn, "and she must stay with me tonight!"

After saying this, he pulled Xiao Slippery Head and walked towards the outside of the hall with a heavy face.

The little slippery head pressed the glasses that were about to fall, and let Tails pull him away, looking back in horror from time to time.

"Tails," said King Nunn faintly behind him, "where are you taking my granddaughter?"

"I can't stay with you guys anyway!" Tails said unceremoniously as he walked, "A bunch of madmen!"

King Nunn laughed from behind him, but this only made Tails feel more bored and confused.

"Tails Bright Star," the King's laughter came from behind him, "First Night......"

"Be nice to your fiancΓ©e!"

Tails didn't look back, pulling his little slippery head out of the hall, ignoring the frowning expressions of the white-bladed guards.

Just go all the way decisively.

Until the little slippery head came back to his senses from his sluggishness and panic and spoke silently.

"That ......" the little slippery head timidly pulled his clothes: "You are ......"

"My name is Tails. Tails said coldly.

"Miss Alex, she really ......" Little Slippery Head snorted and said aggrievedly, "Really...... Is it there?"

"Well," Tails replied flatly, with a straight face, "she's deadβ€”poisoned." ”

The little slippery head shuddered violently.

Tails frowned.

"Poisoned ......" Xiao Slipper's eyes were dilated, and he began to mumble nervously:

"In the year 207 of the Imperial Calendar, Duke Skache killed the Fourth Knight with a poisoned arrow...... In the year 489, the Count of Kate Nantes and Princess Leslie were both poisoned at their wedding...... In 721 A.D., Emperor Eddy III was poisoned and fell into a coma...... In the year 1171 of the Imperial Calendar, the 'Emperor of Poison' poisoned Lord Reddy Sodara at the negotiating table...... In the year 218 of the end of the calendar, Archduke Lloyd Auretheus was poisoned by the 'Mourning Archduke'...... In the year 359 of the end calendar, the 'glamorous Grand Duke' Lacey Ann Renzo died under a cup of flower tea, and in the year 660 of the end calendar, the prince of the stars was ...... by the vine blue grass"

"That's enough!" Tails snapped out in a rage, interrupting her whisper, "Don't think about it anymore!"

The little slippery head came back to his senses.

Tails pulled her along and walked on.

"Well, we should go back......" Little Slipper said hesitantly.

"You can't go back," Tails interrupted her categorically, shaking his head:

"According to Nunn, a bunch of people just died there, and it's definitely not for you to live in. ”

The little slippery head trembled slightly.

Tails walked all the way, sighing silently in his heart.

"But, I'm afraid we'll ......," the little slippery head said hesitantly again.

"You don't have to be afraid, there's no bastard like Nunn here," Tails said silently, "but I can only protect you for a while......"

"No, I mean......" Little Slippery said softly with a crying voice:

"We're on the wrong track......"

"......" (To be continued.) )
