The moonlight is very good, even if there are bright candles in the house, the moonlight can penetrate the window, leaving a silver spot on the floor of the room. mx
Billy was a muscular man, dressed in pajamas, and looked as big as a plank. When he heard Claire's question, he smiled and said, "Why should I tell you what I think of Prince Bowens? You are from the prince's side, why would I give you my heart and soul?"
Claire took a deep breath: "The reason is very simple, I want to join you now."
These words surprised Billy, and then he laughed. There were only three hehehes, but it was enough to fully express his feelings.
Funny, indifferent.
Claire also knows what she said, and it looks funny to the other party. But he said: "I'm telling the truth. Bowens knows that I like Celia, but he asked me to spread the word. I always have a feeling that he treats me like a dog."
Hearing this, Bowens laughed loudly and patted his thigh repeatedly, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.
Hearing the loud voice echoing in the room, Claire felt completely humiliated. But he didn't have a seizure.
After laughing for a long time, Earl Billy stopped, his eyes almost burst out of laughter: "Little guy, when did you have the feeling that you are human?"
Clareton was at a loss for words.
Billy shook his head and said, "Do you know why your family declined?"
Claire asked puzzled: "Aren't you targeting our family?"
"Who would target your family for no reason? Challenge a marquis as an earl? I wasn't as courageous ten years ago as I am now."
Billy sneered: "Do you want to know why?"
"think."
Claire felt that some questions in her heart might be answered. He licked his lips, and suddenly realized that his lips were dry and peeled. He took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then continued to ask, "Can you tell me?"
"Because your father didn't want to be a dog, he wanted to be a man."
Hearing this, Claire felt incredible: "Just because of this?"
"Otherwise, why else? I can only say, are you worthy of being father and son?" Billy said with a chuckle, "But you are far worse than your father. Not only does he not want to be a dog, he also wants to be invisible to this country." master."
Claire was stunned, he felt a little unbelievable. What Billy said was completely different from the father in his impression. The father in his impression was a cowardly person. He swallowed, and asked with difficulty: "What do you mean?"
"What's the point?" Earl Billy smiled and said, "It's literally. Your father is very ambitious, but not strong enough. His plan was discovered at the beginning, and then he was suppressed all the way, and finally came to the Holy City. If the king hadn’t thought of your mother, he would have thrown your family into prison or hanged you.”
Although Billy didn't say much, Claire has already made up a lot of plots. He asked blankly: "But what does this have to do with mother?"
He subconsciously thought that his mother had an affair with the king, but his father didn't know it at all.
Seeing Claire's expression, Billy couldn't know what he was thinking. He immediately poured a glass of wine for the other party, and then poured a glass for himself.
The alcohol content of this fruit wine is not high, and it actually tastes like a drink. After taking a sip, Billy said, "It's different from what you imagined. In fact, your mother is the king's illegitimate daughter."
Claire froze.
"Does that mean I'm of royal blood?"
Looking at Claire with a very strange expression, Billy sighed and said, "A quarter of the royal blood. Actually, several big nobles know about you. It can be said that if the current three royal heirs are all dead, then You have a chance to be the next king."
"My father knew about this?"
Billy smiled knowingly: "Of course I know. Your mother was only the daughter of a wealthy merchant on the surface. Otherwise, why would your father marry a merchant's daughter? Are you looking into it?"
Are you part of the royal family yourself
Claire rubbed her face with her hands in disbelief. He's not stupid, just inexperienced. He felt that this matter was too miraculous, and even gave him a feeling of disbelief. Come to think of it, Billy didn't have to lie to himself.
"Actually, your mother doesn't even know what kind of identity she has." Billy said slowly: "Your birth is the main reason why your father gave birth to his idea of being a 'human'. He only needs to kill the other three heirs , then as the blood of the royal family, you can hope to become the king, as long as you defeat other collateral blood. If it happens, he will be the regent before you come of age, isn't it interesting?"
Although this sounds exaggerated, after Claire thought about it, it was indeed very practical. Once successful, his father is essentially the master of the country.
Billy smiled and said, "That's why I said that you are the same as your father. This is why I didn't kill you after you have been seriously ill for so many years. Because I am also a dog, His Majesty's dog."
Billy picked up the cup, gestured towards the direction of Wangcheng, and drank it down. His expression was even a little happy.
"Since you are His Majesty's dog, you shouldn't target his blood, and you shouldn't want to kill me."
"I never wanted to kill you."
"The last attack..."
Billy laughed and said, "I just asked people to kill your guards, and at the same time I gave them an order, absolutely not to kill you, but to make traces of you being killed. I originally planned to tie you back to the royal city , by the way, I’ll treat you again. I never thought that you don’t even have the ability to break the situation. I’m even a little worried that His Majesty the King may not see his grandson for the last time.”
If 'shame' had a color, it would be iron blue. Claire rubbed her face and asked dumbly, "How many people know my identity?"
"Not many, just a few people."
"Now that you know my identity, I will now order you to do something as a royal blood, will you do it?"
Billy played with the empty glass and asked playfully, "What do you think?"
Of course it's impossible... Claire just asked this question. But a doubt emerged again: "Why are you telling me this secret now, what good will it do you?"
Billy nodded: "Finally a little smarter. Actually, the reason is very simple. I don't like Prince Bowens and weaken his strength. I like it very much."
Claire took a deep breath: "Then what if I am willing to turn against him?"
"Would you like to be a dog under your uncle again?"
Claire was silent, but the answer had already been given.
Of course not.
