Kingdom’s Bloodline - v3 Chapter 706

Federico—or as the family used to call him, Feder—was laughing.

Even though he was kneeling on the ground in front of the stands in a humiliation and embarrassment, his hands were tied, his forehead was touching the ground, and all his organs were moaning.

Half of his face was numb, his left eye was punched in the arrest just now, it was so swollen that it was hard to see, his chin was dragged out of a big hole, even bleeding, and the rib was kicked, causing a dull pain. , The left wrist that was tied back was severely sprained, and the pain was piercing.

This is just the upper body.

But Feder was still laughing.

laughed extraordinarily happy, extra relieved, extra sincere, and even carried a little bit of madness, no matter how sternly the security officer in charge of escorting beside him reprimanded him for restraining.

Once, he was curled up in a cramped, cold dark room, propping himself up with hatred and shame, shivering with endless screams and moans in his ears, and keeping his body warm with pain and anger.

Remembering the countless days and nights spent in that small room, Fader involuntarily tightened his body and slowed his breathing.

His mouth was full of the smell of soil and blood, and blood and saliva kept oozing from his lips, but he was too weak to wipe it.

Now, this little wound and pain, this little humiliation and embarrassment, compared to the past experience, is like a reward of fate.

They remind where they are.

signifies imminent revenge and pleasure.

also predicts that he is willing to give everything in return.

The curvature of Fader’s mouth widened.

The lights around him were as bright as day, and the shadow under him was as black as ink.

That sword player, that **** who claimed to have killed the Royal Guard, really just left? No empathy at all?

Worth it.

Anyway, it’s almost done.

Fader raised his head with difficulty but joy, and a familiar and unfamiliar, chaotic and orderly selection would appear in front of him:

The security officers who escorted him were panic-stricken and overwhelmed. The crowds of spectators farther away were full of noises.

“It’s alright here! They just need to talk, you all stand back, stay away, don’t come over! Let the others stay away too!”

Xilai shouted, preventing the surrounding guards and servants from approaching, signaling them all to retreat.

Miss Kevin Deere has a special status and has a strong relationship with their respective masters. Both the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Legion have scruples. They have to slowly step back, screen the crowd, and separate Thales and Jenn a lot. open space, and at the same time staring at each other.

Soon, everyone in the audience, whether locals or outsiders, whether vassals, distinguished guests or ordinary guards, whether anxious or calm, angry or happy, are waiting for the two people with the highest status in the Emerald City at this moment, or Said it was the result of their negotiation.

“Try?”

Jane couldn’t pay attention to the eyes of the people around him. He stared at Thales and lowered his voice:

“You mean your father did so many things and set up so many games, not to deal with me and the Emerald City, but to test your position at this moment…?”

“It should be both,” Thales came back to his senses, and the sense of emptiness after the guilt of the Hell River faded made him dizzy. “Two birds with one stone is his preference, so whether he wins or loses, he can at least gain the same.” …

Jane frowned.

“Listen, I know Federico is a big threat to you,” Thales turned to look at Federico, who was kneeling in the formation of the guards with a weird smile, “but I can’t stand by, I need He’s alive for now, or my father will know…”

“Then let him know!”

Zhan suddenly raised the volume, he took two steps back impatiently, took a deep breath, and then turned his head again:

“Let him know that Fader was too stupid and blind to fail, and that you were too weak to remedy it, not us…”

“If I wasn’t here when the incident happened, he might still understand…” Thales sighed.

lies.

The voice in his heart sarcastically said, not so pleasantly:

You clearly know that, Thales.

With King Kessel’s suspicion and vigilance, he would never have been so considerate.

As long as Federico fails, as long as you don’t “make an impromptu decision” at a critical moment, he will doubt your position.

Thales tries to get rid of distracting thoughts:

“But right now, I’m standing here in full view, and Federico is there, waiting or expecting my intervention…”

Jane snorted lightly.

“Today I should have asked Seychelles to drive you to the farthest stand to separate you, and even locked you in the palace so that you won’t come out…” He sarcastically said, “I shouldn’t even let you approach Xilai at all.”

Thales let out a long sigh.

“Guys, I’ve stabilized them, but it won’t be long,” Xi came back and said anxiously, “Tell me, about this situation, you have discussed a solution, right?”

Jane’s expression was ugly, and he didn’t speak.

“That’s right, we have a way,” the prince looked around, trying not to let the outside world’s eyes disturb him, his voice so small that only the Kevin Dill brothers and sisters could hear, “Listen to Jen, you asked me what price I wanted. , are you willing to help? That’s it.”

Thales looked at Federico in the distance.

“You’re saying you’re going to blatantly cover up the rebels,” Jan said in a low voice, “support his accusations, frame and frame me, and make me a suspect of patricide and silence—and then come to ‘help’ me? ”

“What?” Xilai couldn’t believe it.

“No, those charges won’t be used, I just want to delay the situation,” Thales wanted to explain, “So Jenn, you can’t win yet, Federico can’t die yet…”

“We talked,” Jenn interrupted him coldly, “In the Emerald City, let’s stop fighting for a while and not be enemies with each other…”

“I am not against you.”

“Then what is this?”

Jane’s tone quickened.

Xilai quickly grabbed his brother, but the Duke’s expression made the people on the Emerald City side even more restless.

Thales felt a headache.

“If you win today, Jenn, if you let Federico just disappear—do you think my father will just let it go? Then maybe it won’t be me, Federico, or Kingdom Secret Service next time you come to Emerald City. , but Kingdom Fury and his troops!”

Jann stared at him firmly, and after a few seconds, the Duke smiled.

“You’re really scared of him, right?”…

Thales has a meal.

“So you want me to let go and let his knife pierce my heart?”

Jane lowered his voice, trying to maintain basic decency:

“The reason is that if I don’t, the king will come with a longer knife next time – do you see the absurdity here?”

Thales hesitated.

“What’s more absurd is that even if I win this round, you are still a noble prince. At most, your wallet will be shrunk and your father’s love will be less.” Zhan said coldly.

Do not.

Thales took a breath, the Gortaksa in his pocket became heavier and heavier.

“But if I let go, I lose…”

The Duke of South Bank glanced at the people around him who were looking forward to it, and his eyes became colder.

Xilai’s face turned pale.

Thales swallowed his throat.

“You won’t lose.”

Jane sneered, he looked at Federico:

“You don’t know what I’m facing, Your Royal Highness.”

Thales frowned slightly.

“Duke Falkenhouse, he has faced the same problem, but he chose to believe me,” Thales took off the ‘warning man’ from his waist and spoke earnestly, “He gave me a sword, Xihuang finally be preserved.”

Jane’s face changed.

Thales took a step forward and looked into the other party’s ruthless and determined eyes sincerely:

“For Emerald City’s sake, for your sister’s sake, Jenn, please.”

Jane’s eyes moved.

At that moment, it seemed that everything in the arena stopped.

Only Thales and Jenn remained, and in this crucial conversation, the fate of the Emerald City was decided.

“Lieutenant Cherkey, continue to **** the suspect!”

In the next second, Jenn’s grim order woke Thales from his contemplation.

“No one is allowed to hinder him on the way, until he is sent to prison!

Thales’ mood sank.

“Jane!” he warned loudly.

The change in the attitude of the two nobles made the onlookers nervous.

“Hypocritical, false, hesitant, weak,” Zhan turned back and sneered again and again, “I’m so sick of you pretending to be selfless, but pretending to be selfless.”

Thales trembled inwardly.

Xilai was taken aback:

“Jane, wait, don’t rush to decide…”

But the duke did not care about the prince’s warning or his sister’s persuasion, and ordered:

“Vigilance Hall, what are you still doing?”

Beside Federico, the guards who were hesitating and stunned all stunned, and they roughly dragged Federico on his knees:

“Yes Yes!”

The crowd rioted again, and people started talking about what happened in this round of negotiations and conversations, how the duke and prince played around the suspects…

But Thales just stared at Jenn with a resolute expression.

Damn.

He has explained clearly the cause and effect, the stakes, but why…

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed between the electric light and flint.

But a few seconds later, when Thales returned to reality and the present moment, he looked at the bustling crowd in front of him with difficulty, and looked at the faces of Jenn and Xilai…

He knew that he had made a choice.

“Duke Jenn!”…

Thales said loudly, and his voice was amplified by the crime of Hell River, so that everyone around could hear it clearly:

“The matter described by the suspect Federico Kelvindier is of great concern and many doubts. For the sake of fairness and justice, and for the sake of your reputation, I don’t think we should rush to a conclusion. We might as well set up a special case and send someone to deal with it. Investigate and interrogate meticulously until the truth is revealed, how about that?”

The prince’s voice fell, and the crowd that had been discussing suddenly fell silent, and the security officers who escorted Federico also slowed down, and the leader glanced here from time to time worriedly.

Zhan looked at him slowly, his face ashen.

“What?” Xilai was equally surprised and couldn’t believe it.

But Thales just stared at Jenn, who looked back at him with esoteric and complicated eyes.

“His Royal Highness Thales,” Jan said, his words were clear, but at a slow pace, “You must be tired and your mind is unclear.”

Jann’s response made Thales sigh softly.

But soon, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He understood.

The atmosphere was not right, and the people from both sides—the Star Lake Guard and the Emerald Army—were in unison, and subconsciously moved closer to the master.

“Star Lake Guards!”

Thales drank resolutely, making Jenn’s eyes change.

He understood that this confrontation has nothing to do with promises, justice, character, or their personal grudges.

Only the stakes are involved.

Jann wanted to win, of course he wouldn’t back down.

And Thales, he can’t lose, so naturally he can only move forward.

“In the name of the king, quickly take down the suspect Federico Calvindier!”

Facing Thales’ uncompromising reaction, Jenn frowned.

Thales looked back at the Star Lake Guards, whose faces were ashen:

“Take it back and watch it strictly—our watchdog!”

The voice of    fell, and Wyah, who was still hesitant, was completely stunned until Miranda kicked him hard.

“Yes – as you order, Your Highness!”

Wiya tried his best not to look at the eyes of the people around him, and turned to look at his colleagues who were equally astonished:

“So, the vanguard wing, or the guard wing? Anyway, Your Highness has an order, I need two…”

“One is enough.” Before Wyya could finish speaking, Miranda stepped forward decisively and walked towards Federico.

Maybe the king’s name is big enough, and the guards next to each other looked at each other and didn’t dare to stop, but Miranda hadn’t taken a few steps forward—

“Seychelles!”

Jane’s order sounded, and another figure moved in response!

winter!

With a dull sound, Miranda held up an eagle and opened an unsheathed sword.

“Back off, ma’am, those are Emerald City’s own prisoners.”

I saw the Seychelles knight raising his saber, coldly standing between Federico and Miranda, his eyes cold.

The two warriors faced each other, making everyone nervous. Whether the Star Lake Guard or the Jade Sergeant, they all looked at their respective masters, secretly gearing up to prepare for the shot.

“Knight of the Seychelles, have you heard the order of His Royal Highness Thales?” Miranda clenched the hilt of the sword in her glove.

Seychelles glanced at Jenn—whose brows trembled and his face was ashen.

The knight turned his head: “Sorry, I’m behind my ears.”

“Then retire earlier?” The female swordsman’s expression changed. …

“You’re not my opponent, it’s almost the same as that Mallos.” Seychelles said disdainfully.

“The Terrorist Blade has other important things to do, so he has no time to take care of it.” Miranda felt the strong pressure coming from the other side, but she gritted her teeth and showed no weakness.

Glover and the others behind Miranda looked at each other, wanting to step forward to share the pressure, but the sergeants behind Seychelles also looked at them eagerly.

The onlookers around    had different expressions. Most of the foreigners were calm, but the local nobles and vassals looked ugly. The Count of Lasia clenched his fists in anger, and the two Miss Karabyan whispered together.

“Wait a moment!”

At this moment, Xilai shouted, and she rushed between Jenn and Thales, pointing at one person with one finger, full of anger:

“Get your people back and put away your weapons! We don’t have to! At least not now!”

The next second, Miranda and Seychelles, who were on the front line of the confrontation, frowned:

The knights of Cassien appeared silently on their sides.

“I’m not sure how to pull you off,” Cassian sighed, “but I can promise, Seychelles, Ms. Allende, I’ll attack the one who takes the lead.”

Miranda and Seychelles frowned, and they looked at each other.

Seychelles snorted coldly and took the lead to take a step back. Miranda breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back as well.

The two men stepped back a little and made room for the three dukes again.

“Get out of the way, Xilai,” Zhan reprimanded his sister, but kept his eyes on Thales, “It’s not your time to talk…”

“Shut up, brother,” Xi Lai turned her head and stabbed her fingers viciously in the direction of Zhan, “this is all a trap you thought you’d made! Trap, huh? More chips, huh? The big picture is settled? Ha, ha, what!”

Jane’s face sank.

Thales sighed and said, “Xila, this really has nothing to do with you…”

Xilai turned around and pointed directly at Thales’ forehead:

“Don’t tell me this has nothing to do with me, little brat! If you don’t come on a blind date, mother, I have nothing to do!”

Thales frowned.

After Xilai’s arrogant fight for white, the two sides are looking at me, I look at you, the atmosphere is a little bit.

Xilai worked hard to calm down and whispered to the two of them:

“Well, I know, I know you don’t like each other, but I don’t force you to like each other…”

“No, Xilai, it’s not just about my relationship with him…”

“I think he likes the Emerald City just like his father…”

“To shut up!”

Xilai interrupted them angrily, causing both of them to eat together.

She took a deep breath and tried her best to persuade the prince:

“Listen, Thales, I know that my brother will be messed up if he keeps himself in check. He doesn’t want to give up the advantages he already has, and he doesn’t want to spit out the meat he eats in his mouth, but…”

Halfway through, Xilai sighed slowly:

“But, Thales, you have to understand that if you stand up now to support Federico’s accusations: father murder, silence… This is not only to prevent Jenn from winning, but you want to force him to die.”

Thales has a meal.

“I know, I understand, but please believe me, Xilai, this is only temporary, only in this way can I control the situation, take the initiative, and choose to advance or retreat…”…

“I guess you said the same to Anke Bailar, right?” Jenn sneered.

Thales’ eyelids jumped.

“Using your rhetoric that is used to hypocritical acting – ‘Please believe me’, lie to him that you will help him and save him, this is the most deceiving him to put down his arms and go into prison obediently, so that he can be kind You who can’t see people’s suffering, can’t see is pure?”

Thales trembled, he slowly raised his head.

“Jann!”

Xi turned her head back and forth, her expression instantly fierce:

“I told you to shut up!”

But she was late, and the prince’s eyes darkened completely.

“I said, don’t mention his name.” Thales looked blankly at Jen, who sneered again and again.

“Who?” Jenn said sarcastically, “Oh, you mean Anke, Anke Bailar? The unfortunate Western barren who was sent to the prison of bones by the kind-hearted you and never saw the light of day?”

Xilei only felt a splitting headache:

“Ah, I don’t know what old grudges you guys have and how they came about, but I know it must be stupid, so can you…”

Thales smiled.

“That letter, Jenn.”

Thales said with a chuckle:

“That letter you wrote to my father, in a low voice, condescending, flattering and begging for peace, was torn by my own hands.”

Jane’s eyes narrowed.

“At the royal meeting, in front of him, torn to shreds.”

Thales lightly snorted:

“That’s why I have his permission to come here so that you can see with your own eyes: how I put you…”

“Tales!”

Xi interrupted back and forth, unbelievable.

But she was also too late, and Jen looked at Thales, his eyes both complicated and relieved.

In the end, he showed an ominous smile.

“Very good, very good.” Zhan applauded lightly and rubbed his chin towards Seychelles.

Seychelles understood what the Duke of South Bank meant, he glanced sarcastically at Cassien who was pulling the frame, and then ordered:

“Emerald Corps, assist the Police Department, clear obstacles, and **** the prisoners!”

Shoo!

The next second, the emerald sergeants in the front row unsheathed their weapons and pointed at Miranda!

Shoo!

On the side of the Star Lake Guards, Glover roared and drew his sword, followed by Rolf and Morgan with ruthless expressions. The three stood by Miranda’s side and confronted Seychelles and his team fearlessly. sergeants.

Although there is a huge disparity in numbers, the confrontation between the Star Lake Guards and the Emerald Legion is of great significance. Starting from the people near them, many spectators are terrified and the crowd riots.

“what happened?”

“The talk broke down?”

“Oops, I thought they had a good relationship…”

“Punch the card, squeeze it out!”

The rumor spread, panic gradually spread throughout the arena, and the guards and vigilantes who maintained order became more and more difficult.

At the center of the conflict, Thales and Jenn were close to Chi Chi, one side was firm and the other was cold.

“Well, can’t we get on?” D.d asked cautiously in the Star Lake Guard team.

“Of course—” Nexi drew his sword and stepped forward, but was pulled back by someone.

“Protect Your Highness!” Huaya let go of him and said with a sullen face.

“Jane, please, don’t force me.” Thales looked at the Duke of South Bank in front of him and shook his head slowly. …

But Jenn’s face was cold:

“Who is forcing whom?”

Thales narrowed his eyes.

“And when you turned the table, you realized,” Jenn said softly, “I don’t have as many chips in my hand as I do?”

Thales frowned.

“Your Highness, I know it’s very disappointing to say this at this time, but…”

Wiya took two steps forward and came behind Thales. He looked around worriedly, and saw the Emerald Legion lined up in a row.

“We have few people, we are disadvantaged, and we can’t beat it.”

Thales turned his eyes.

“Chip,” he chuckled lightly, keeping his eyes on Jenn, “Sir Duke, you just said, chip?”

Zhan’s face did not change, and he remained silent.

The next second, Thales took a step forward, and under everyone’s nervous eyes, he approached Jenn step by step:

“You’re right, Jenn! Federico misjudged the situation and his charges went unanswered because they lacked a leader.”

Thales came to him with a stern expression:

“A leader with enough weight.”

Jane’s eyes changed slightly.

The next moment, Thales roared:

“Tell me, Jenn Kevin Dier!”

Under the gaze of all eyes, Thales spoke sharply:

“These days, wine merchants died in vendettas, wool merchants in moneylending, Rene in accidents, little Borwyn in brawls, Caquere vigilantes in robbery, and defenders simply disappeared—the kingdom already has six Is it a coincidence that the people died unexpectedly? Is there something strange behind it?

As soon as these words came out, the heavyweight vassals and guests all changed their expressions!

Jane was expressionless, but his gaze at Thales was extremely cold.

Huiya was taken aback: “His Royal Highness…”

Thales snorted coldly and continued to raise the volume so that more people could hear:

“Or to put it bluntly, is the death of these kingdom people related to you, the vassal of the Star Kingdom, the Emerald City Lord personally taught by His Majesty, the guardian duke of the South Bank Territory, Jenn Kevin Dier!”

Prince Thales spoke directly to accuse the Duke of South Bank, which was no trivial matter. The surrounding vassals and guests were in an uproar, and they all exploded.

Only Federico looked up to the sky and laughed more and more happily.

But at this moment, no one cares about the prisoner’s actions.

“No, Thales, what are you doing!”

Xilly stood between the prince and the duke, dazed and unbelievable, but Cassien sighed, clasped her arm, and pulled her back, and Ashford put a cloak on her in time.

See the people around you.

Jane took a deep breath, but he didn’t say anything in the end, but his expression became colder.

On the other side, the Seychelles knight’s face was extremely ugly, and he had to yell loudly to prevent the sergeants in the legion from whispering and whispering in surprise.

“If you didn’t do these orders, Jenn Kevin Dill,” Thales kept his expression steady, his voice was steady, and his words were harsh, “why do you go to great lengths, use your means, and try your best to hide it? The cause of death of these deceased? Why do you want to do everything possible to obstruct the investigation and inquiry of my subordinates? Why do you obstruct me from interrogating the suspect in the eucalyptus case – Federico Calvin Dier at this time?”

“Why, Jenn?”

Thales took a step forward and raised his arms high:

“Can you explain it to me, to Your Majesty, to the entire kingdom?”

The prince’s eyes sharpened, and the conversation turned again:

“Or, do I need to go a step further and find evidence and witnesses to prove that you intervened in law enforcement and covered up your life?”

The crowd around him was getting louder and louder.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the vassals and guests around the Duke’s stand were frightened and scattered, leaving an open space for the Emerald Legion and the Star Lake Guards to confront each other, and many nobles also subconsciously summoned bodyguards to accompany them to ensure safety.

In the chaos, Jen stared at Thales, letting the noise in the arena flood the sky and shake people’s hearts.

“You originally knew the truth, Thales,” said the Duke of South Bank, “but I guess at this moment, in front of so many people, you suddenly don’t know, right?”

Thales didn’t answer, on the contrary, he turned to the surging audience, his face expressionless.

“Very well, then whether Jenn Kevin Dier is suspected of hiring a murderer, bent on favoritism, or obstructed justice…”

“Star Lake Guards!” Thales roared, causing Wyya and others to be shocked.

But the next second, he turned to Jenn’s direction again and shouted to the unexpected object:

“And the Emerald Legion!”

Seychelles frowned fiercely, and the subordinates behind him were in an uproar.

“Immediately enforce the law, arrest the serious suspect-Jane Kevin Dill, imprisoned for trial!”

In the arena under the moonlight, Thales was upright and roared and ordered:

“In the name of His Majesty the Supreme King of the Star Kingdom, Kessel V!”
