return to the throne

Adrian took a deep breath and calmed down. At this point, he knew that it was useless to say anything to the man in front of him.

"My sister, want my son to die?" Adrian finally said softly, "That's actually what you mean, right, Eureka?"

A trace of panic flashed across Eureka's face, "I didn't say that!"

Adrian closed his eyes, "That's what you mean." He suddenly felt very ridiculous, "Ha, my sister actually wants my son's life. She wants you to eradicate my child, because she thinks I Will support my son to the throne and give her up, but you think it is more beneficial for her to kill my husband. Because no matter which of the two of them is, it will be a roadblock for you, without the card Ross, my child can't be successful, without a child, Carlos can't even think about meddling in the royal family, that's what you think, right?"

Eureka felt a slip of the tongue, bit her lip and said nothing.

"My sister..." Adrian was extremely disappointed, "My favorite sister..."

How could she bear it?At that time, Emily hugged James with her own hands and talked about their father in a nostalgic tone. In a blink of an eye, she gave such a vicious order to Eureka.Didn't Emily know that the kid wasn't going to stay in the Black Dragon at all, she knew, but she couldn't afford to gamble on that possibility.She was afraid that Adrian would suddenly want James to inherit the throne, and she, who was powerless and powerless, could not compete with her brother at all.

"Last question, Eureka." Adrian's voice seemed to float from afar, "Did you paint something on the dagger? Why can't my husband wake up?"

Eureka was completely wilted, "Nothing, Adrian."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you, I wanted to kill Carlos, but he beat me." Eureka said dejectedly, "I don't know why he fell asleep, but it's definitely not my fault, I swear."

"I see." Adrian stood up and slowly approached him. When Eureka looked up at him, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Immediately afterwards, Eureka opened his eyes wide and covered his hands. With a bloody throat, he couldn't speak a word.

He fell.

"Goodbye, cousin." Adrian said calmly.

He withdrew his hand, the blade of the short knife in his hand was still dripping blood, and Rika was stunned, "You killed him?"

"I didn't kill him, Eureka has never been here." Adrian said coldly. "There were rumors that he was going to the north to join the army, and he did leave Lanka without telling others. Unfortunately, no one saw him along the way, and no one knew where he went."

In the war years, it is very normal for a person to die. Eureka went to the north alone, and encountered robbers or rebels on the way. People note, instead, most people would attribute the incident to his bad luck.

It's a pity that Black Rock City lost their young lord just like that.

But Seyes still has a son, and Blackston's bloodline will not be cut off, which can be regarded as a comfort to them.

Adrian took one last look at Eureka's body, "This person is not Eureka, but a traitor who sneaked up on my husband and left him unconscious, so I sentenced him to death. There are objections."

He wiped the blade clean, and said casually, "Scratch his face, throw this corpse out, and tell them, if you want to hurt my lover or son, that's the end."

After a while, Adrian, who had changed into clean clothes, sat beside Carlos' bed.

He stared at the sleeping Carlos for a long time, raised his hand and lifted his quilt, and got in.

"Carlos, today I killed someone." Adrian's voice was tired. He leaned against the other side and put his head on the man's chest. "This is the first time I killed someone."

Carlos didn't respond.

Adrian sighed, listening to Carlos's steady heartbeat beating in his ears, "It's a surprise, I don't feel much guilt, I just hate that I didn't do it earlier and let him hurt you for no reason."

"And Emily..." He sighed a long time, "I don't know what to do, that's my sister, my favorite sister, we used to experience life and death together, depended on each other, finally survived, she But want my child's life, I can't figure out why..."

"But even so, I still can't do anything to her. I can kill Eureka, but I can't hurt Emily. I promised my mother to protect her..."

"Carlos, what should I do? I feel so tired and I don't want to think about it. Can you get better soon? When you get better, I will go back to Sardinia with you. I don't care about things here anymore."

It's a pity that no matter what Adrian said, Carlos kept his eyes closed from beginning to end.

The eye circles of the young little prince were red, he secretly wiped his eyes, and then lowered his head to let the tears return to the lacrimal glands.

He never thought about what it would mean to lose Carlos.

Subconsciously, this man will not leave him, he is strong and will never fall.

But nothing lasts forever.

Just like his father, didn't he suddenly leave him one day?

Adrian's heart suddenly flustered, and at the same time, he hated the dead Eureka and Emily who caused all this even more.

Early the next morning, Annie knocked on the door of the tent.

Adrian was helping Carlos wipe his face, hands and feet.

He carefully combed Carlos's blond hair. Carlos' blond hair was already very long. Adrian helped him braid it, which was very cute hanging around his neck.

James was yelling at Carlos' bedside. He still remembered this father who was always teasing him, and kept stroking Carlos' hand.

Carlos, however, could not respond to him.

Seeing Annie coming, Adrian looked at him expectantly, "Annie, did you find a way to wake up Carlos?"

"Adrian, Carlos' two mercenary friends brought news that Paris Sterling's son Mark fell into a deep sleep like Carlos, and Sidney was also devastated by this. They believed that Carlos could not sleep well. Probably not an injury, but a curse."

Adrian's heart sank, "Curse?"

The word was too far away from him.

In the doomed age, almost no one saw the legendary magicians, magical creatures and gods.Although the God of Light is still the most mainstream belief in the Celtic continent, its influence has dropped to the bottom. Many nobles know that the priest sent by the church is just an ordinary person who does not possess divine power at all. It is no different from them, and those so-called miracles are similar to deceiving the poor or ordinary civilians at the bottom of society. It is completely impossible to deceive them. Adrian has also cooperated with Thomas to do so.

"Who did it?" Came back to his senses, Adrian couldn't help but feel a burst of anger, "Who would want Carlos' life? Is it a Sith? Or someone from the Black Dragon?"

Annie shook her head, "I don't know, it's all possible, Adrian, who do you think it would be?"

Adrian doesn't think the nobles of the black dragon have this power. If one of them can kill others with this kind of witchcraft, his country will not be torn apart, so the answer is obvious, that person is now in the Church of Light Dungeon Sith.

"Heath Stuart." Adrian clenched his hands into fists. "It's a pity that he's not dead yet. I didn't even know he had this ability."

But it’s not surprising that Sith was originally an ordinary person with no background. His family—Paris Sterling thought he was an illegitimate child and did not provide him with any help in the church. However, Sith defeated many people to ascend It is obviously unreasonable to be on the throne of the Pope, and it is said that many of his enemies did not end well, and many of them were seriously ill or died unexpectedly.

Adrian told Annie what he thought, and Annie frowned, "Adrian, if it was really done by the former Pope of Light, we don't have to worry too much, he is definitely not as powerful as you think, the curse is terrible Yes, but there is absolutely no curse that can be realized without paying any price. If you want to get something, you have to exchange it with something, and the curse is the same. Exhausted, he is now like a fish stuck on a board, in a state of being slaughtered." After a pause, she said, "If you suspect it is him, let someone go and see the former Guangming In the case of the Pope, it is impossible for him to escape after casting the curse."

Having said that, Anne and Adrian have already determined that the person who cast the curse is Sith, because Adrian and Paris Sterling are the only enemy in common, and the others do not have that means.

"But why Carlos?" Adrian said, "Obviously his enemy is me, if he wants to curse, he should curse me too!"

"Maybe it's the curse," said Anne. "Curse you for losing the most important person."

Adrian pursed his lower lip, but said nothing.

Is Carlos his most important person?Yes, right now, Carlos is his most important person, and he is the one who accompanies him through this difficult time, slowly opens his heart, and enters his heart. Without Carlos, Adrian does not know himself Is it possible to live like this without incident?

"Annie, if Sith really did it, how can we lift the curse."

Annie thought for a while, "As far as I know, there is no curse that cannot be broken. Killing the person who cast the curse is one of the methods. Also, Carlos accepts the protection of the God of Truth. The curse of the Pope of Light is for him. It's actually not that easy."

This is why it is also a curse. Mark’s condition is much worse than Carlos’. Mark is getting weaker and weaker day by day. I can't wake up because the body is in a protective mechanism.
