One Piece: Heaven's Rebellion

Chapter 230 The Grand Kingdom 8
When he came to the palace hall, Li Wenjin did not leave. He was going to listen to what the king and the three princes would say, maybe he could get some unexpected news.

It's a pity that Li Wenjin waited for 10 minutes, and the four of them didn't say anything, they just made eye contact with sad faces, which made Li Wenjin a little bored.

"Boss, let's go, what are the four idiots to see."

Suddenly, Yuegui's voice came from next to his ear, which startled Li Wenjin, and then Li Wenjin wanted to vomit blood.

This Yuegui spoke in such a silent and empty room, even if the voice was low, the four men in the hall would definitely hear some of it.

Li Wenjin hurriedly turned his head and found that the king and the others were indeed suspicious, looking around, apparently finding something.

Seeing such a situation, Li Wenjin immediately turned around and gave Yuegui a hard look, saying that if she was found out, she must look good when he went back.

Yuegui also knew that she was in trouble, so she quickly lay on Li Wenjin's back, not looking into Li Wenjin's eyes, saying that she didn't know anything, which almost made Li Wenjin angry.

Just when Li Wenjin was about to teach Yue Gui a lesson, he heard the four men in the main hall start talking, and Li Wenjin hurriedly turned around to listen to what they said.

King: "Ker, did you hear someone talking just now?"

The eldest prince: "My lord, I also heard a woman's voice."

The second prince: "Brother is right, I seem to have heard a woman's voice."

The third prince: "It seems that father and two elder brothers heard it, and I heard it just now. It is indeed a woman's voice."

The second prince: "But I have already observed that there is no one in this hall."

Third Prince: "Will it be outside the palace?"

The second prince: "Brother, why don't I go out and have a look."

The king: "Oh, forget it, you three don't care about what women say, we don't have time to care about women now, let's think about how to get back the gold."

What the king said made the faces of the three princes suddenly look sad, and they were not in the mood to care about any women. Now that the Kingdom of Gran Kingdom is at a critical time, even if there are female ghosts, they are not in the mood to care about them.

Li Wenjin heaved a sigh of relief when he was not found, and prepared to leave the hall to look elsewhere.

Just when Li Wenjin was about to leave, he heard the king's solemn and resolute voice again: "Listen carefully, three of you, if anyone of you can recover the lost gold this time, I will abdicate and give up the king's position." To whom, now you all go to Vikra Town for me."

The three princes were shocked, and the eldest prince directly persuaded: "Father, it is wrong to do this, you are still young now."

The king shook his head and smiled wryly: "I can't hold on anymore. If such a thing is tossing once, I will really lose face. I will go to see the successive kings of Gran. You don't need Shebi to persuade me. Let the matter be settled like this."

The king's order had been issued, but the expressions of the three princes were still frowning, and there was no trace of happiness at all, as if they didn't like being the king of the Kingdom of Gran.

The eldest prince hesitated and said, "My lord father, let's just leave the Gran Kingdom. Even if we become kings, we are nothing more than slaves of the world government. It is better to be free as a commoner."

The king was furious immediately: "You bastard, what did you say? Millions of civilians in the Kingdom of Gran are waiting for us to save them. How dare you say such words."

The eldest prince said painfully: "My lord, but we really don't want to go on like this. We just want to do what we like."

"If it's the gold treasure this time, if we can't get it back, we will have to live the same life as when we were children. I don't want to live that kind of painful and humiliating life."

The eldest prince burst into tears, and the second and third princes kept wiping away their tears, which made King Gran's eyes turn red. Finally, he sighed in pain and helplessness and said, "I can understand your feelings, but the kingdom of Gran The millions of civilians in the country are all counting on us to rescue them. We cannot leave the Kingdom of Granland so selfishly. I hope you can persevere and protect the Kingdom of Granville.”

The second prince stood up and said angrily, "Father, if we can't find the gold this time, how should we explain it? We, the Grand Royal Family, can no longer produce so much treasure. Are we going to be punished this time?" Do the Tianlong people step on their feet and beg for mercy humiliatingly?"

Speaking of this, the second prince suddenly yelled at the king: "I don't want to do that, I don't want to do that, I would rather resist to death than do that again."

The third prince also walked up to the second prince at this time, looked at the king with a firm expression, and said, "My lord, what the second brother said is not wrong, and I don't want to do such a humiliating thing again, please forgive us for being unfilial , if the Tianlong people come here and humiliate us, we will definitely resist desperately."

The king looked at the two sons with a sad and determined expression, and his tears could not stop. He walked up to the two sons and hugged them tightly, saying: "I am sorry for you, but I still hope that you can Be patient, we still have millions of residents of the Gran Kingdom behind us."

"For them, I hope you can endure it for up to three years, and you will be fine after three years. I hope you can endure it firmly, even if I am a father, I beg you."

The second and third princes looked at the king with red eyes and said, "Father, you don't have to do this. It's not your fault. We...we...".

The two princes said that if they could bear it, they finally failed to say it, because the feeling of humiliation and pain in the past made them unable to speak out and endure it.

The king looked at the two sons who were distraught. He hugged the two sons tighter, comforted them and said, "Cry out if you want to cry, so that you can feel more comfortable in your heart. I hope that after you cry out, you will be steadfast." The commoners of the Lan Kingdom endure it."

At this time, the two princes could no longer bear the pain while hugging the king. The king and the eldest prince also kept silent, but their tears were red, their eyes kept streaming down, and they let out their pain.

The main hall of the Grand Kingdom, the highest rulers of the four Grand Kingdoms, they all cried like children, without any regard for their identities, their voices were so loud that the guards outside the hall could hear them
The four of them, the king, thought of the painful, helpless and humiliating past 20 years ago at the same time.

Twenty years ago, because they did not pay enough offerings, the Tianlong people came to the Gran Kingdom, and in front of hundreds of thousands of people across the country, trampled the four of them on the ground and beat them non-stop. The pain, as well as the feeling of grief and indignation, they will never forget in their entire lives.

If the four of them were civilians, their sense of humiliation might not be so strong, but they are the high and mighty royal family, and they feel humiliated at least ten times stronger than ordinary people when they are trampled under their feet.
