"......" Goron knew that he had no way out, and the only thing he could do was to drag his own brother in front of him to hell together. At this time, he calmed down instead, "Is the purpose of you deceiving me to get rid of me?"

"Get rid of you? no, that won't help me, dear brother. I did this out of necessity," Tifeko's tone remained calm, as if he were stating a fact, "If I honestly wait until five years from now, I'm afraid I'll be facing the third sister's pirate army." Do you know what she's been up to lately?"

Goron shook his head, estimating the distance between himself and the second prince in his heart. He remembered that his brother had been very intelligent since he was a child, but he was not good at riding and shooting and fighting. As long as you can catch the opportunity, rush over and slash --

"She's building her own army, brother. Seriously, I admire her for taking this step long before the reign of king, which even I didn't expect. We got along so well when we were kids, why did we have to kill each other to get to this point?" he said and took two steps back, "For example, you are afraid that you want to split me in half with a sword, right?"

“......”

"I know it all, brother. You're still the same as ever, and your eyes get horrified when you want to kill," Tifeko sighed, "I'll tell you bluntly, I want to put an end to the Fight for the King's Order." Otherwise, in five years' time I will be Garcia's fleet. She had taken control of the Blue Water Harbor a few years earlier, and Golden Spike City was suitable for making merchants, but not for raising warriors. ”

"I need an army, enough to withstand the armies of the Third Sister's fleet, which is not something that can be achieved by a trading city. Goron Wimbledon, you will be judged tomorrow for trespassing and assassinating the king. I need to return to Golden Spike tonight to prepare for my father's bad news to reach the East. I am deeply saddened and am obligated to be crowned king in second line of succession. You, on the other hand, will be guillotined for the crime of killing kings. ”

"You're ......!" Goron shouted and lunged at his brother, but it was too far away, his greatsword was intercepted by two ironclad guards, and then his calf went numb, and a short sword pierced his calf, causing Goron to lose his balance and fall to the ground. They rushed up and pressed him to the ground, tying him up until he could not move.

"Judge? You are also qualified to judge me, and I will tell all this so that those who support you know what kind of monster you are!"

"Of course you won't, brother," Tifeko said patiently, "There is a medicine in the Alchemy Workshop called Forgetfulness, which is made from the venom of lizards in the sands of the South mixed with mare's milk, and when you drink it, you will not make any sound. Rest assured, it won't make you feel any pain, but instead tastes mellow and intoxicating. If you had to blame it, blame our genius sister, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have taken this step. ”

He waved his hand at the leader of the guards, who nodded and saluted, and dragged the eldest prince out of the palace, and the other ironclad guards followed suit, leaving only the second prince and Master Ang.

"Your Highness, the throne is in your pocket, and I should call you Your Majesty," said Master Ang, bowing down.

"You've done a good job, and when I sit on the throne of the Greykeep, you'll fulfill our agreement. But...... Seeing my brother's miserable appearance today, I feel that some agreements should be accompanied by a guarantee clause. ”

The scholar's expression immediately changed, "Your Highness, what do you mean-"

"Don't worry, I just don't want to be betrayed," Tifeko pulled out a wax pill from his bosom, "You must have seen this thing a lot, it takes seven days for the wax pill shell to completely dissolve, and it is about the same time that I will return to the royal city and the golden spike city." I'm going to use the price code of the chief astrologer of the kingdom to get you over, but I don't want someone else to offer you a higher price to pull you away. ”

"Your Highness...... You laughed," the bachelor turned pale, gritted his teeth, and finally ate the wax pill.

"Clever choice," Tifeko nodded with satisfaction, "you go." ”

......

When the dormitory was empty, the second prince's face became gloomy.

He grabbed the porcelain placed on the low table next to the bed and slammed it on the ground, the porcelain shattering to the ground. Immediately, a guard walked in from outside, "Your Highness?"

"Get out!" he roared.

"Yes," the other quickly exited the room with his head down, closing the door.

Damn, it wasn't supposed to be this way!

His plan did not include the killing of his father, and with the preference of Wimbledon III, he only had to guide the other party to notice what Garcia was doing and stop it, and his pawn was the eldest prince Goron Wimbleton.

Tifeco considered his plan flawless. He used his position as chief astrologer to seduce Goron's initiation mentor, a scholar of low standing in the astrologers' association, to write a letter for himself to the eldest prince. And the eldest prince quickly took the bait. This is also in line with Tifeko's judgment, his own brother is better at fighting than thinking, and at the same time is unwilling to give up the throne.

The next few letters provoked the ambition of the eldest prince, and Tifeco was ready for the next step. When the last letter with the astrological prophecy was sent, he secretly returned to the royal capital and revealed to his father that the eldest prince might be forced into the palace. There is no doubt that once this is confirmed, the father will be furious and will throw the eldest prince into prison, either to death or to exile.

Then, the father will turn his attention to other children, and Garcia, who is vigorously developing the power of the army, will inevitably become the second nail in the father's eyes.

But...... Why did this happen? After hearing the news he revealed, the father actually showed a strange smile, pulled out his close-fitting short sword, and stabbed it directly into his chest!

Everything happened so fast that Tifeco had no time to stop it, and could only watch his father die.

He sat down weakly along the edge of the bed, and for the first time had the illusion that he was also a pawn in the dark. His father's last smile was a nightmare, and it creeped him out. I thought about the whole thing over and over again, including examining the body, but I still couldn't find a clue - why did my father do that?

He also suspected that this person was disguised, but he couldn't find a flaw in any case, and even a hidden wound on his back matched the appearance in his memory.

Seeing that Goron was about to arrive in the royal capital, he had to pretend to be calm, change all the plans, put the death of Wimbledon III on the eldest prince, and then use his second line of succession to ascend to the throne in advance. As long as he can be crowned smoothly, he no longer needs to be restricted by his territory, and can directly mobilize the power of the Duke of the South to coerce Garcia and force her to give up the blue water port.

In this way, the ending was not much worse, but Tifeco was deeply disturbed...... It was as if an invisible hand had unwittingly plunged into the upper echelons of the Grey Keep, and he knew nothing about it.

At the moment, he had no choice but to hold on to the throne firmly. Tifeco Wimbton swore in his heart that if he found out who was playing this trick, he would know what it would be like to annoy a king!
