"Yes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

After listening to Val's statement, Kessel's face was extremely complicated.

"But why you, you should have been a noble man, a pure warrior, and you had your own creed. ”

"Haha," Val laughed inexplicably, "why can't it be me?"

Kessel paused and looked sadly at the scar on Val's chest to his chin: "You used to be my most trusted friend and brother. ”

"We grew up together in the royal capital, and we are the best partners, the closest brothers, better than my own brothers like Middil. ”

"We even agreed to marry each other's sisters. ”

"That's enough," Val looked up sharply, his eyes full of anger, "you are not allowed to mention Lisia and Constance, you are not worthy." ”

Tails' heart moved, and Licia Arend and Constance Bright Star appeared before him, the lonely High Priest and the small stone urn.

The king's expression was gloomy: "I know you hate me, but I think it's all because of Lisia - as a lord, you are still loyal to me, loyal to the stars, and the creed in your heart is still noble and inviolable. ”

"I do hate you, but," said the Duke of the North, who betrayed the North, "everything I do is for the stars!"

The king narrowed his eyes: "What?"

Val Arend stepped out of the ranks of his ministers, his eyes resolute:

"If I succeed - at a small price, a short bloodshed, the stars and the dragon, the shield and the blade of the Western Continent will turn a new page. ”

"In the days of the Ancient Empire, Aarend was the supreme family who ruled the provinces of the Northlands, and Rumba was the blood descendant of the rebel king Queso Rumba, who rebelled against the tyrant - hatred and antagonism have been rooted in the blood since a thousand years ago, but if mortal enemies like us can be reconciled, what is impossible?"

Tails sighed.

No, you are not a reconciliation, you are an exchange of interests.

Val stepped forward and looked around the crowd with a fanatical expression: "The contradictions and hatred between the two countries will be overshadowed by the heroic friendship and loyal cooperation between me and the Lombard! The blood of the two countries, our sons and daughters will enter into a marriage contract, and their heirs will inherit both the Kingdom of the Stars and the Exeters - the stars and the dragon, the two great nations become one, think of it, the heroic blood of the dragon of the north will be poured into the body of the descendants of the great empire!"

"We may not be able to regain the glory of the Empire, but we will be able to extinguish the flames of war in the North—the flames of war will never be rekindled, and disasters like the Year of Blood will never happen again!"

"your peace. Count Zemutto spat hard.

Val ignored it and clenched his right fist: "Even further: a new power will dominate the Western Continent, we will hold a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and the sword will be pointed at the Commath Alliance, dividing up the land of that group of merchants and benefiting ourselves - after breaking the balance of power of the three great powers of the Western Continent, the rest will not be in trouble, and the Western Continent will soon be reunited." ”

"So," the Duke of the North gritted his teeth, looking around at the nobles and officials, "it's all for the sake of the stars, for its ultimate strength, for the eternal peace between the stars and the dragons. ”

Tails frowned.

Baron Russell, who was on the side, coughed and said awkwardly: "About this, I thought ......"

"Bang!"

Kessel V slammed his fist into the gauntlet on the left side!

"Shut up, Exeters, we'll settle our accounts later. The voice of the High King was so powerful that he said unquestionably, "Now is the internal affairs of the stars. ”

Russell was speechless for a moment.

The king slowly rose to his feet and condescended to face the Vaal.

"For the stars?"

Kessel V had a rare beard on end, and his face was angry: "Betraying his own king and vassals, this is for the sake of the stars? Betraying the land and people of the north, this is for the stars? For the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to bring the war of death and wounds, this is also for the stars?"

"Kessel Bright Star. ”

Val Arend clenched his fists and faced the king.

"Do you think you are nobler than me? Val trembled, as if holding back his emotions: "You, you Bright Star Family, don't point fingers at me!"

In the next second, he roared out of shape: "You Bright Star Royal Family are the biggest source of trouble in this country! It is you who brought hell and brought the disaster of twelve years ago! Until now, we are still atoning for your mistakes!"

Tails clenched his fists involuntarily, and the people in the room looked at the king in unison, many of them with different faces.

The king closed his eyes tightly: "The year of blood?"

"The Year of Blood!!" Val smiled sadly, raising his hands into fists.

Tails's doubts grew bigger and bigger, and he looked at Gilbert: What are the ulterior but vital secrets in the year of blood?

I only heard Val say angrily: "That disaster has passed, and everyone only remembers that the Bright Star Royal Family was slaughtered, and only remembers that only the orphan girl is left in the Tebak family!

Fifteen-year-old Duchess Lyanna took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Who will remember how much blood, how many corpses, how many widows and orphans were left behind when Exeter's soldiers plowed over our land!"

"Who will remember that when the Year of Blood was over, and the whole country was celebrating the Peace of the Fortress, almost three-quarters of the men and one-half of the women died in the north!

"The first thing I do when I take the title of Duke of the Guardian of the North is not to help them find food, but to rebury those who have starved to death and froze to death, otherwise their bodies will be dug up and eaten by hungry people who are too hungry to walk!"

"Have you ever seen that scene, young master of the royal capital!"

"Who will remember my father, who refused to surrender after the Hankeep was breached, and his head was hung in front of the gates of the Hankeep for a whole month......! And every day I go in and out of my castle, I see that damn gate!"

"Prince Horace, the sword of the light, who has penetrated deep into the siege of Exeter, has been brave and unyielding, who has not retreated, who has suffered eleven wounds, and who has died heroically—but who will know that my brothers, the sons of Aarend, have been closely guarding him until death! Rohan, Kuhl, and Nolanur!"

"The body of the Prince of the Stars was solemnly carried back to the royal capital, while beside him, my brothers were chopped alive by Exeter's axemen!

"Does anyone remember them?"

"My sister and wife's carriage disappeared in the wilderness, and I have not been heard from for twelve years, and I have had countless nightmares about them - God knows what happened to them!"

"How dare you say that I only have one daughter as my heir? Why do you think I sent my seven-year-old daughter to the Tower of the End in order to train her to be the heir? Bullshit! I sent my daughter to the Tower of the End - I was afraid that in my absence, Miranda would be eaten alive by the hungry people who were red-eyed and would climb over the ruined cold castle!"

Kessel V closed his eyes tightly, and many people in the hall couldn't help but bow their heads as they recalled those years.

I heard Val tremble and say: "After such hell, five years ago in the desert war, how dare you, Kessel Bright Star, still think that we have a small number of troops? think that our army is not as strong as five years ago! I think we can't even make up five stormtroopers with cavalry!"

"Do you think the person I hate is you? Do you think I hate you for not marrying my sister? Hate you for failing her and making her a lifelong sacrifice?"

"No!"

"I'm hating Bright Star! It's your damn family!"

"All disasters are the fault of your delusional idiot father, your uncle who treats rudeness as humor, your gloomy elder brother Wang, your self-righteous brothers who have no one in their eyes and no one in their eyes, and the fault of the Supreme King, who was born with the blood of an imperial tyrant!"

"It's this, the Bright Star Family, which is always associated with calamity, has brought a bloody year to the stars, bringing such a hell!"

Disaster?

With calamity...... Got together?

Tails was startled and subconsciously looked at Gilbert beside him.

But the latter just pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"You think you're some kind of tragic monarch? There is only one person left in the Bright Star Monarch? no!" Val roared madly, "All you ever cared about was yourself, your will, and your world!

"Just like your damn father, you and he both know what your choices will bring, but you never care!"

"You have never known your vassals, you have never cared about your subjects, you have never cared about the people around you--the Iron Fist King! Don't you feel ironic when they call you that--where you are an iron fist, you are cold-blooded at all!"

Val, whose emotions were at its peak, roared in despair:

"Saliton and the Shadow Shield, why don't you kill you all at once!"

"If you hadn't brought that monster back......"

The king's eyes snapped open, and he uttered:

"Enough!"

Kessel looked agitated and angrily rebuked Aaronde:

"Tile!"

"You're still as stupid, as stupid, as extreme and stubborn!"

Kessel stared at Val with inexplicable complexity in his eyes.

"You only believe in what you want to believe. ”

"You're like a stupid piece of blunt wood, ridiculously ignorant. ”

Val gasped and looked at the king in a daze.

"Guard," said the king, sitting down dejectedly, "take Duke Arend to the dungeon." ”
