For most of the people, the battle of the royal family is a very distant thing, it is a kind of conversation material, and it is a pastime after drinking and eating, but for the nobles, the struggle of the royal family directly determines their future.
If you stand in line and fight openly and secretly, you will get greater benefits if you succeed. If you fail, the consequences will naturally needless to say.
Emma understands that her father's health is getting worse and worse, no matter the eldest brother or the second brother, they are all determined to win that position. Her prophecy only told her father's lifespan, but didn't tell her whether it was the eldest brother or the second brother who got the throne.
The three brothers and sisters are all half-brothers.
The king had four wives. The first wife was killed by his opponent during the battle for the throne when the king was young, and she had an unborn child with her.
The second wife had just become the queen, and soon after giving birth to the eldest prince, she was assassinated by an assassin from the enemy country.
After the third wife helped the king give birth to the second prince, she contracted the curse of life and died.
The fourth wife, the current queen, gave birth to a little princess, Emma, for the king.
Because of the half-brother relationship, the relationship between the three brothers and sisters is not very good. Although the relationship between Emma and the second prince is pretty good, there is still some distance between them and the brother-sister relationship in ordinary families. As for the eldest prince, although he was very polite on the surface, in reality, both Emma and the second prince knew very well that the eldest prince did not have much brotherhood or brother-sister affection for the two of them.
Emma is not interested in the kingship, but no matter what, as long as she stays in the royal city, it will definitely become a certain variable, not to mention that she is a master spellcaster herself, this is a very powerful strategy. Besides, did the country of Huo Levin ever have a queen.
In the eyes of those who are interested, this matter is some kind of hidden threat.
Emma has read a lot of history books, she knows. How brutal is the battle for the throne.
She took the queen's hand and asked worriedly: "Mother, I'm leaving, what do you do?"
"I want to stay here and take care of your father." The queen said flatly, "After your father leaves, I will go back to your territory to avoid the limelight. I don't care how they fight or rob."
Although she said her husband was going to die, the queen didn't show any distress on her face. It wasn't that she was heartless. But already mentally prepared.
The king is more than 30 years older than her, a typical old couple and young wife. The queen knew that such a situation would happen the day she married into the royal family.
Emma took the queen's hand and sighed long. The mother and daughter are strong people. Although the husband and father are obviously dying soon, they did not cry or complain.
In fact, Emma didn't plan to stay in the palace for too long, and the queen's words just gave her an excuse to stay away from political disputes.
Then the mother and daughter began to chat about homework again. For them who gather less and leave more, every second is a rare good time.
The eldest prince left the palace and returned directly to his manor. After drinking off the guards and maids. Two men in black appeared in his room and entered by teleportation.
The eldest prince stared at the caster. The space magician still looked paralyzed. Soon the eldest prince lost interest and turned his attention to the woman in black.
"Katie, you don't seem to have a good expression?"
Facing the eldest prince's inquiry, Katie replied blankly: "I didn't sleep well last night."
It has to be said that this is a universal excuse that can explain many things. It depends on how you understand it. The eldest prince seemed to be thinking of something, he shook his head and said: "Katie, it's not appropriate for you to do this, although you don't like me. But this is not a reason for you to abuse yourself."
Katie remained expressionless: "Prince, you are overthinking."
"Well, even if I think too much." Seeing that Katie denied it, the eldest prince showed a little 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 One thing is that my sister is back, and I want to find someone to monitor her, and the second thing is that my sister brought back a man, who can help me find out his identity?"
The spellcaster and Katie glanced at each other, and Katie said, "Let me go and find out the man's background, Grand Prince, can I give you his portrait."
"wait."
When the eldest prince spoke, he took a pen and drew on the paper. With just a few strokes, Liang Lidong's appearance and temperament were fully expressed.
Katie took a look and said in a low voice, "This is the man who prevented us from assassinating Princess Emma in Winterwind City."
"Then there's no need to investigate." Upon hearing this, the eldest prince waved his hand: "Katie, you take someone to kill him, you can't let Emma gain a foothold in the palace, her party members must be wiped out. "
"The opponent is very strong, and I am not an opponent." Katie shook her head and said, "He seems to have a special ability, he can sense our killing intent, and this person is not a pure spellcaster, he is a compound class Or, the close combat ability is also very strong.”
The prince snorted: "Mixed professionals, whether it is melee ability or magic, can't be trained to the top level. You were stopped by him, probably because you underestimated the enemy, but it doesn't matter. This time I will call ten The master will give you instructions, Katie, I hope you can get things done this time."
Katie shivered slightly, saluted, and then left, walking very quickly.
The black-robed spellcaster gave a slight salute: "Then I will monitor Princess Emma, and if I have a chance, I will find a way to attack her."
Then there was a wave of space ripples, and the black-robed mage disappeared from the room.
The eldest prince walked to the balcony, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and chuckled lowly. As a nearly thirty-year-old prince, he knew that he was lucky. The throne was very close to him now, and he didn't have to be like his father. In that way, he can become king when he is nearly fifty years old.
Of course, there will naturally be some obstacles on the road to the throne, but he doesn't think it's a problem.
If it's a stone, smash it, if it's a trap, pave it flat, just like what my father did thirty years ago, brothers and sisters are just the necessary experience on the road to the throne.
When Liang Lidong woke up, he found that Kyle and Alice hadn't come back, so he ate something by himself, and then walked out of the hotel.
Woking asked him to come to this city to find the powerful soul who made the promise. Even if he was not very interested in it, he had to try to find it anyway. not too good.
Liang Lidong was walking on the streets of Wangcheng, and without knowing where the target was, wandering around was the only option.
Fortunately, Woking left a message on that target, as long as he was close to a certain range, he would sense it.
Although Wojin didn't say how big the scope is, Liang Lidong reckons it won't be too small. After all, Wojin is a goddess. Even though her strength has dropped drastically now, she is still a goddess. This matter should not trouble her .
It was already evening, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. Most people had already gone home for dinner, but as long as half an hour passed, there would be more pedestrians on the street again.
The setting sun is like blood, very beautiful. Liang Lidong walked aimlessly, admiring the surrounding scenery, but soon, he stopped, and then looked to his left and right.
At some point, a few more people appeared under the sprouting trees in the surrounding alleys. Liang Lidong found that the outfits of these people were exactly the same as the assassins they met not long ago.
These assassins covered their faces and hid in the shadows. Ordinary people couldn't see them at all, but they couldn't hide under Liang Lidong's bloodline dragon eyes.
These people didn't know that they had been spotted, Liang Lidong also pretended not to notice them, and continued to wander the streets.
But soon, Liang Lidong changed his mind, and he started to walk towards an assassin.
Because he found the assassin with a faint golden light emitting from his body.
The golden divine light is Woking's iconic divine color. If there is nothing wrong, this man in black should be the person Woking asked him to find, a person with a strong soul and willpower.
It's just that he didn't expect that the man in black came to assassinate his enemy, but Wojin asked himself to save him.
Destiny is really funny, Liang Lidong suddenly felt like a supporting actor in an eight o'clock show, the kind who couldn't survive three episodes.
Gathering his mind, Liang Lidong walked towards the man with the golden light on his body.
Except for Liang Lidong, no one seemed to feel the slightest strangeness about the golden light emanating from the man in black, so he reckoned that only he could see the golden light.
The assassins are all very cautious people. When Liang Lidong walked towards them, these people were already on guard. When Liang Lidong walked about twenty steps away from them, all the assassins Moved.
Without hesitation, they made a jaw-dropping move almost at the same time.
These assassins actually escaped. The one who fled with them was the man with golden light all over his body.
Naturally, Liang Lidong 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 faintly uneasy, but it was an emergency at this time, so she didn't care too much. But when she saw Liang Lidong cast his eyes on her face again, she immediately thought of a possibility.
The other party found himself again, so run away.
Katie followed a man in black and ran wildly, then she looked back, almost scared out of her wits, because he saw the target sticking tightly behind him, the distance between the two The distance is less than five meters.
The other man in black immediately fell to the ground and surrendered. Liang Lidong was not interested in him. Instead, he followed Katie. The distance between the two became closer and closer. (.)
