For most people, the royal struggle is a very distant thing, but also a kind of conversation, a pastime after drinking and eating, but for the nobles, the struggle of the royal family directly determines their future.
Stand in line, fight openly and secretly, and if you succeed, you can get greater benefits, and if you fail, the consequences are naturally needless to say.
Emma understands that her father's health is getting worse and worse, and both the eldest brother and the second brother are determined to get that position. Her prophecy only told her father about his lifespan, but not whether it was the eldest brother or the second brother who got the throne.
They are three siblings, all of whom are half-siblings.
The king had four wives, the first of whom was killed by an opponent in the struggle for the throne when the king was a prince and had an unborn child in her womb.
The second wife had just become queen and was assassinated by the assassins of the enemy country shortly after giving birth to the eldest prince.
After the third wife helped the king give birth to the second prince, she was cursed with life and died.
The fourth wife, the current queen, gave birth to a little princess for the king, namely Emma.
Because of the half-sibling relationship, the relationship between the three siblings is not very good. Although Emma and the second prince have a good relationship, there is still some distance from the brother and sister relationship of ordinary families. As for the eldest prince, although he is very polite on the surface, in essence, whether it is Emma or the second prince, it is very clear that the eldest prince does not have much brotherhood, brother and sister affection for the two of them at all.
Emma is not interested in the throne of king, but no matter what, as long as she stays in the royal city, she will definitely become some variable, not to mention that she is a master spellcaster, which is a very powerful strategy. Besides, the country of Hollevon may have had a queen.
In the eyes of those who have a heart, this matter is some kind of hidden threat.
Emma had read a lot of history books, and she knew how cruel the battle for the throne was.
She took the queen's hand and asked worriedly, "Mother, I'm leaving." What do you do? ”
"I'm going to stay here and take care of your father." The queen said with a calm expression: "After your father leaves, I will go back to your territory to avoid the limelight, I don't care how they fight or rob them." ”
Although it was said that her husband was going to die, there was no uncomfortable look on the queen's face, not because she was heartless, but because she had already been mentally prepared.
The king was more than thirty years older than her, a typical old husband and young wife. The day the queen married into the royal family, she knew that such a situation would happen.
Emma took the queen's hand and let out a long sigh. The mother and daughter were strong people, and although it was clear that the husband and father were dying, they did not cry or complain.
In fact, Emma did not plan to stay in the palace for long, and the queen's words just gave her an excuse to stay away from political strife.
Then the mother and daughter began to talk about family life again. For them, who gather less and leave more, every second is a rare good time.
The eldest prince leaves the palace. Straight back to his estate. After repulsing the guards and maids, two men in black appeared in his room, teleporting in.
The eldest prince stared at the spellcaster, the space magician was still paralyzed, and soon the eldest prince lost interest, and then moved his gaze to the woman in black.
"Katy. Your expression doesn't seem so good? ”
Faced with the eldest prince's inquiry, Katy replied expressionlessly, "I didn't sleep well last night. ”
I have to say, this is an almighty excuse that can explain a lot of things, depending on how you interpret it. The eldest prince seemed to have something in mind. He shook his head and said, "Katy, it's not appropriate for you to do this, although you don't like me, but it's not a reason for you to indulge yourself." ”
Katy was expressionless: "Prince, you think too much." ”
"Well, even if I think too much." Seeing that Katy denied it, the eldest prince showed a slight smile on his face, and then said, "I asked you to come here this time, because I want to give you two tasks. The first thing is that my sister is back, and I want to find someone to spy on her, and the second thing is that my sister has also brought back a man, can anyone help me check his identity? ”
The spellcaster and Katie looked at each other, and then Katy said, "I'll go check the man's origins, eldest prince, if I can give you his portrait." ”
"You wait."
When the eldest prince spoke, he took a pen and drew on paper, and with just a few strokes, Liang Lidong's appearance and temperament were all expressed.
Katy took it and looked at it, and said in a low voice, "This is the one who stopped us from assassinating Princess Emma in Winterwind City. ”
"Then you don't have to look it up." As soon as he heard this, the eldest prince waved his hand: "Katy, you take someone to kill him, you can't let Emma stand in the palace, her henchmen must be cleared." ”
"The other party is very strong, and I am not an opponent alone." Katy shook his head and said, "He seems to have a special ability to sense our killing intent, and this person is not a pure spellcaster, he is a compound professional with strong melee ability." ”
The prince snorted: "Compound professionals, whether it is melee ability or magic, it is impossible to train to the top level, you were stopped by him, most of it was because of the light enemy, but it doesn't matter, this time I will assign ten masters to give you command, Kati, I hope you can get things done this time." ”
Katie shuddered slightly, saluted, and left, walking very quickly.
The black-robed spellcaster bowed slightly: "Then I'll go and spy on Princess Emma, and if I have the chance, I'll find a way to attack her." ”
Then there was a ripple of space, and the black-robed mage disappeared from the room.
The eldest prince walked out onto the balcony, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and chuckled, as a prince who was nearly thirty years old, he knew that he was lucky, the throne was now close to him, and he did not have to be like his father, when he was almost fifty years old, to become king.
Of course, there will be some obstacles on the way to the throne, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with that.
If it's a stone, break it, if it's a trap, lay it out, just like my father did thirty years ago, what brothers and sisters are just a necessary experience on the road to the throne.
Liang Lidong woke up and found that Kyle and Alice had not returned, so he ate something by himself and walked out of the hotel.
Waujin asked him to come to this city to find the powerful soul who had made a promise, even if he was not very interested in it, he had to try to find out what he said, after all, it was a promised thing, and it was not good to just promise it and not make a difference.
Liang Lidong walked the streets of Wangcheng, and without knowing where the target was, wandering around was the only option.
Luckily, Waujin left a message on that target, which he sensed as long as he was close to a certain range.
Although Wokin did not say how big the scope is, Liang Lidong estimates that it will not be small, after all, Wokin is a goddess, even if her strength has dropped sharply now, she is still a goddess, and this thing should not be difficult for her.
It was already evening, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, most of them had already gone home for dinner, but after another half an hour, there would be more pedestrians on the street.
The sunset is like blood, and it is very beautiful. Liang Lidong walked aimlessly, admiring the scenery around him, but soon, he stopped and looked to his left and right.
I don't know when, in the surrounding alleys, under the trees, there were a few more people, and Liang Lidong found that these people were dressed exactly like the assassins they met not long ago.
These assassins were all masked and hiding in the shadows, which ordinary people could not see at all, but they had nothing to hide under Liang Lidong's bloodline dragon pupils.
These people didn't know that they had been discovered, and Liang Lidong pretended not to find them, and continued to wander the streets.
Soon, however, Liang Lidong changed his mind and began to walk towards an Assassin.
Because he found this assassin with a faint golden light on his body.
The golden divine light, this is Workin's signature divine color, if there is no mistake, this man in black should be the person Waujin asked him to find, a person with strong soul willpower.
It's just that he didn't expect that this man in black actually came to assassinate his enemy, but Waujin let himself save him.
Fate is really funny, Liang Lidong suddenly felt a bit like a supporting actor in an eight-o'clock bloody drama, the kind that can't survive three episodes.
After settling down, Liang Lidong walked towards this person with a golden light on his body.
Except for Liang Lidong, no one seemed to feel even the slightest strangeness about the golden light coming out of the man in black, so he estimated that only he could see the golden light.
The assassins were very cautious people, and when Liang Lidong first walked towards them, these people were already on guard, and when Liang Lidong walked about twenty paces away from them, these assassins all moved.
Without hesitation, they made a jaw-dropping move almost at the same time.
These assassins actually fled. Fleeing with them was the man covered in golden light.
Liang Lidong naturally couldn't let the other party run away, so he hurriedly chased after him.
After Katie took over the task of the eldest prince, she felt a faint uneasiness, but at this time, it was an emergency, and she didn't pay much attention to it. It's just that when she saw Liang Lidong cast his gaze on her face again, she immediately thought of a possibility.
The other party found himself again, run away.
Katie followed behind a man in black, running wildly, and then she looked back, almost flying out of her soul in fright, because he saw the target clinging to her in a daze, less than five meters away.
The other man in black immediately fell to the ground and surrendered, Liang Lidong was not interested in him, but followed behind Kati, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer. (To be continued.) )
