return to the throne

Seyes did not expect that his act of persuading Adrian to let go of the northern lord would instead arouse Adrian's long-standing desire to kill.

These days, Adrian really put all his energy into pregnancy and childcare, thus ignoring the nobles who had betrayed his father, and let them be at ease for a long time.But if his benevolence leads these men to think that they can go on living as they did in the days of King James, they are mistaken.As a traitor, it is unfair to those who are loyal to the Dark Dracon family without paying any price for doing something wrong. Adrian will not let this happen, and will never allow it to happen. These scums just so easily forget what they did.

What's more, Adrian's current situation is different from when he first settled in Lanka. At that time, his foundation was not stable, and he was easily backlashed by the undercurrent hidden in the ground. He had to be careful and get the support of others like walking on thin ice.But now, he has consolidated his position in the royal city, won the support of all the people, and gave birth to a child smoothly. With the support of Carlos's army—the combat power of nearly [-] ensures that no one dares to underestimate the young regent, so Adrian no longer needs to consider other people's ideas. He is completely at the peak of power. You can retaliate one by one for the humiliation you suffered at that time without any scruples.

He really thought so, and soon, in the afternoon of the same day, the guards of Wangcheng arrested a large number of nobles who had voluntarily defected to Quinn during the war of treason. Those who ran away from their own private soldiers and family members, and some who had offered to send money to Quinn, trying to please both sides, and finally succeeded. These people survived under Quinn's iron cavalry, but they also He lost many of his reputations and became a traitor and speculator in the mouths of others.

These people were imprisoned in a small and airtight prison, where they were investigated and awaited punishment. In order to arouse their inner panic, Adrian also specially stipulated that these prisoners would no longer enjoy the status of nobility after entering the prison, and he forbade family members to visit. No one is allowed to bribe the jailer. If any of his orders are found to be violated, no matter men, women or children, they will be hanged immediately.

Everyone realized that Adrian was starting to settle accounts with other people.

"Please beg for mercy." Their female relatives immediately ran to the princess to beg for mercy, "When we welcomed Quinn into the city, we had no choice but to submit to him. If we didn't do that, Quinn would have killed our family. Don’t you know how many families actually died in the moat? The dead people dyed the whole river red. Until now, we can still smell the smell of corpses floating above. Quinn is a murderous demon. We want to protect ourselves There is no other way, of course we hope that Dak Zhuolaken can rule the royal city again, so please raise your hands high."

Emily bit her lip, "I understand your difficulties. Not everyone has the courage to resist someone like Quinn. How about this? I'll go see my brother and see if I can convince him."

The female relatives were overjoyed and put all their sustenance on the princess. However, once Adrian heard Emily's intention, he flatly rejected her request.

"Those people are also one of the murderers who killed their parents? How can you plead for such people? What do they have to sympathize with?" Adrian looked at his sister angrily.

Emily showed an unbearable expression on her face, "But, our parents did not die at their hands. They are victims just like us, brother, these people are people we knew in the past, like Eaton The earl, the knights of Andrew, they all watched us grow up, their children were our childhood playmates, their wives were also close friends of our mother, do you really have the heart to hang these our past elders?"

Adrian said, "I don't understand you, telling me to lay hands on my husband, and at the same time pleading for the real enemy. Listen, sister, I've been kind enough. I didn't take their wives And children, only arresting the men in the family and making them responsible for what they did, this is my maximum tolerance. These people, obviously have private soldiers, but choose to betray their king, obviously have money , but chose to support the enemy, who clearly made a heavy oath to the black dragon, but abandoned us at the last moment, such a person, what reason do I have to forgive?"

Emily still wanted to talk, but Adrian stood up straight away, "Stop talking, Emily, just be your princess in peace, everything I do is for a reason, I will never hurt you." There is no harm, I want to give you a unified and safe environment, is this not good? As long as these villains are removed, no one will oppose your regent, they have betrayed us once, there will be a second time, I This is not going to be allowed to happen.”

Emily wants to say, do you want everyone to listen to her, or do you want everyone to listen to Adrian?Many people now know that Adrian has an illegitimate child, and they are talking about it. The princess has not heard the news of her pregnancy for a long time, but Adrian suddenly has a son. In this way, there is no need to worry that after the war, the prince will leave with the Aragonese.

Emily desperately does not want to see this happen.

The reason is that her nephew does not only have the blood of the Black Dragon, he is also the son of Carlos. To put it mildly, he was born from the most noble families of the two countries. To put it bluntly, his blood is not pure and mixed. A race of people is called a hybrid.

Why are you still not pregnant?Emily rubbed her stomach annoyed.

It has been two months since she and Little Pete resumed living in the same room. During this period, they both wanted to make a baby. I don't know if Pete is not strong enough, and Emily has not been pregnant.After Adrian gave birth, she felt even more sad and worried. She felt that her status was threatened.

Although, she knew that her brother would never harm her, and he also said that he would bring James back to Aragon after the battle was over, but what if?What if someone prefers Adrian's child?Emily has paid so much for the throne, married a husband who is a few years younger than herself, has a cowardly and mean personality, endured the contempt and harsh treatment and cynicism of her in-laws, and even traveled across the mountains to live in such a cold place. All these experiences tell How important is her power, Emily doesn't want to go back to a life where no one cares about her, she doesn't want to go back to the polar regions in despair, she wants to be the regent queen mother, sit on the throne, and accept everyone's worship, her brother promised her, She will definitely be the Queen Mother.

However, Adrian is unwilling to plead for the uncle she knows now, and no one cares about what she said. Emily feels that she is restricted everywhere in the palace, and everyone doesn't respect her enough. What matters is Adrian, not her, because she doesn't even have the most basic guarantee to become the Queen Mother in the future-a son.

She couldn't settle down.

"I must have a son," she thought.

……

"Eureka." Emily sat on the edge of the bed, she was only wearing a thin gauze, "won't you come over?"

Eureka knelt on the ground, showing hesitation, "This is not good, princess?"

Emily chuckled, "Are you still a gentleman? Don't worry, Pete is not here, I sent him to sleep in the study."

Eureka looked at the princess greedily. He hadn't appeared in front of Emily for a long time. The reason was that Pete didn't like him. He doubted the relationship between Eureka and his wife, so he sent him to the army early. But the God of Light testified that Eureka had nothing to do with Emily at all.Emily just regarded him as a trusted friend and never had any love for him. Although Eureka loved the princess very much, she couldn't express her love to her because of her status.During the time when it was difficult for the two to meet each other, Eureka has been keeping himself safe. He has no hope of getting the princess, so he can only choose to guard silently, hoping that one day he can stand up for Emily when she needs it and share her worries. catastrophe.

Eureka didn't know why Emily had found him again now, and she also hinted that they could have a closer relationship. However, he found that he was not happy for the other party's attention. On the contrary, he was very worried about Amy's love. Li's untimely behavior.

"I'm stupid, cousin," Eureka said. "Father said I was too narrow-minded, and Adrian didn't like me. I think that's probably why they didn't want to marry you, but no matter how stupid I am , I also know that this kind of behavior is wrong, you are a married woman, or the future queen mother, if someone finds out that you have a guest of honor, your reputation will be damaged."

Emily said, "No one would say that. Isn't it normal for nobles to have an affair? As long as they don't say it publicly, everyone will be tacit about it."

"But Dakdraken won't do that." Eureka suddenly became smart at this moment, "I don't know what you're thinking, but it's about the face of the royal family, Emily, how many eyes the palace is looking at you, Today I entered your room and stayed for a few hours, tomorrow, news of your private meeting with me will spread throughout Lanka!"

Emily became furious, "Eureka, are you coming to teach me too?"

"I didn't mean to teach you a lesson." Eureka said sadly, "I once wanted to take you away, Emily, I wanted you and me to escape from here at all costs, reputation and dignity, we may You will lead a poor life, you may encounter many difficulties, but I swear that I will make you happy, I originally thought so... But that day, you rejected me, you said to me, your purpose is only One, that is Fuguo. For this reason, you did not hesitate to marry a strange person and go to such a strange place in the north to get married. You have made so many changes. Since then, I know that my responsibility has changed. I want to Let you achieve this wish, I want you to be the person you want to be, now, you are only one step away from this goal, why are you doing this? Emily, I can't just watch you go on the road Crooked way!"
