Skeleton King

Ace and Sykes safely sent Miss Rose back to the Marquis of Rose's mansion.

When Miss Rose left, she kissed Sykes on the cheek, completely ignoring the sound of breathing around her.

The Marquis of Rose returned to the Marquis of Rose's mansion with a happy face.

Ace admires the courage of Miss Rose Marquis.Not everyone in the Pansy Empire dared to do this. Although many married noble ladies lived in disorder, unmarried noble ladies still attached great importance to their reputation.

Besides, Sykes had absolutely no intention of marrying Miss Rose.

"Don't get me wrong." Ace turned around and found Sykes talking to him, "Miss Rose Marquis is for other people to see, she doesn't like me."

Ace was taken aback, and in an instant, his heart beat faster by two points. Why did Sykes explain to him?Could it be that Sikes found himself coveting his beauty, but even he himself is not sure of his own mind!

If Sykes also likes him, Ace can only feel the fragrance of flowers blooming in late autumn.

Sykes: "I know, Miss Rose is your fiancée..."

"What?!" Ace said in shock, not even noticing that he had interrupted Sikes.

"White Rose and Red Rose made an agreement many years ago. If they happen to have a daughter or a son, they will be betrothed to them. Red Rose is your mother, Mrs. Caroline." Sykes looked puzzled, and the words But there was a bit of malice in the room, "Didn't the Marquis of Ross tell you?"

"Although Miss Rose Marquis is two years older than you..." Sykes' words seemed far away.

Ten thousand mud horses whizzed by in Ace's heart.

……

"Thank you brother Ace." During dinner, Bernadette said sweetly after receiving the gift Ace brought back from Mrs. Anne's gift shop.

Ace sat weakly at the dining table, but his expression was not very good.He was hit really hard today.

Nuo Ou asked with concern: "What's the matter?" Unlike Bernadette and Ace, who are idlers, Nuo Ou hasn't returned to the imperial capital for almost ten years, and many people need him to move around.But no matter how busy he was, Nou would always show up at Duke Green's mansion during dinner.

Ace made an analogy: "Nuo Ou, what if someone betroths you?"

Nou quickly said: "Impossible. The Green family never interferes with their children's marriages. My father said that if a family needs to rely on marriage to consolidate their status, then they are not far from decline." Nou looked at Xiao Xiao again. sister, said: "So Bernadette will also find someone she likes."

Nou and Bernadette looked at each other and smiled, a warm, beautiful and happy scene.

Ace hesitated, "If I have a marriage contract."

Bernadette: "Brother Ace, aren't you a scholar?"

Nuo Ou even mocked, "Do you know who the last person who didn't keep the scholar's oath was?"

As a star university scholar, the youngest person who has passed the scholar examination in recent years, Ace naturally knows the life of that person very well.Auguste Koorser, the most legendary king in the history of the Pansy Empire.

Although Alexander Koorser was the founding king of the Pansy Empire, the Pansy Empire did not always belong to the Koorser family.In 625 of the Pansy Empire, the king was critically ill and appointed his eldest daughter, Princess Catherine, as the crown prince. Princess Catherine ascended the throne in the same year.Queen Catherine was the first and only queen in the history of the Pansy Empire.

Gabriel Murphy, the heir to Duke Murphy, voluntarily gave up his right to inherit the title and married Queen Catherine.The men of the Murphy family are loyal, silent, and brave, and so is Gabriel Murphy, who has been Queen Catherine's shadow all his life.After Queen Catherine died of illness, Hugo Murphy, the eldest son of Queen Catherine and Gabriel Murphy, succeeded to the throne.

Since then, the Pansy Empire has entered the era of the Murphy family.The rule of the Murphy family is not a big problem. The empire has a long history of peace and stability, and the descendants of Queen Catherine's blood have also inherited the fighting spirit of the pansy, but the terrible thing is that the Murphy family has always been thinly populated.In the year 845 of the imperial calendar, an influenza swept the entire royal family, the king was critically ill, and the crown prince died suddenly.

At that time, the Prime Minister of the Empire didn't even have time to care about His Majesty's condition. He opened the genealogy of the Murphy family and quickly searched for the heir to the throne.For the safety of the empire, there must be at least one king and one heir in the imperial capital.

The prime minister keeps sending out messengers looking for the second, third, and fourth heirs.

It's a pity that none of the messengers brought back the future king of the Pansy Empire.

Clement Murphy, died of the flu.

Lancelot Murphy, died of influenza.

Antonio Murphy, Jr., seriously ill.A few days later, he died of influenza.

……

The prime minister's hair turned white overnight.Although the flu was threatening, the imperial capital held countless funerals every day, and a small half of the empire was covered in black, but there was no such thing as the Murphy family. The entire family was overwhelmed by the disease.

When the news of Benjamin Murphy's death came, the Prime Minister fainted directly in the palace.Because behind Benjamin Murphy's line of succession is Princess Julia, and Princess Julia has died.Many years ago, there were constant frictions in Prin Canyon. For the sake of peace, the monarch sent Princess Julia to the Finger Empire to get married. Princess Julia's eldest son is now the monarch of the Finger Empire.

The four ministers jointly blocked the palace to prevent the news from spreading.

The fact that the Finger family is going to inherit the Pansy Empire is simply the biggest joke in history.But it's actually happening again.

The family tree of the Murphy family was turned upside down, and all kinds of spies and assassins were sent out.The four ministers pinned their hopes on finding other heirs of the Murphy family. Regardless of whether he was an illegitimate child, disabled or mentally retarded, as long as Antonio I was still alive, they could give him a title and make him the crown prince.

The two light wizards kept guarding the dying Antonio I's bedside to prevent him from being summoned to the world of the dead.

No one dared to imagine that he could clearly feel the pain of Antonio I whose soul was torn apart every moment of his waking up.

At least at this time, Antonio I cannot die.

Everyone is racing against time.

The prime minister had never hated the loyalty of the Murphy family so much as at this moment. The dozen or so heirs didn't even have an illegitimate child.Their family is what they say it is, with no dark side, except for their damn short life.

The Home Secretary proposes to amend the Act.But the thousands of years of tradition in the mainland, the beliefs of the people, all of these are based on the supreme right of blood inheritance.If the right of blood inheritance is overturned, what reason do they have to get everything they enjoy now?

It may be for the purpose of not being destroyed, or it may be for self-interest.In the end, no new law was established.

But the pansy empire is not without the possibility of redemption.Because the Minister of the Interior discovered August Koouser, who inherited the surname of Alexander I, flowed the blood of Princess Catherine, and inherited the fighting spirit of Pansy.

August Coorser was the son of Deborah Coorser - Deborah Coorser was born Deborah Murphy and was Antonio Murphy Jr. (fourth in line to the throne) His younger sister, who was the fifth in line to the original throne, Deborah Murphy, married Earl Coother, and got his eldest son August Coother the following year.

The bloody stories about Mrs. Deborah and Earl Coother could not be finished for three days and three nights, and there were various rumors among the people, but because of the love and hatred of his parents, August Coother was very young. At that time, he was sent to the port of Nice.He also followed his mother's wish, and after taking part in the assessment of the Knights Order, he was awarded the title of scholar.

When the Murphy family was dying, people finally thought of him.

At this time, August Koouser was already a bright scholar.

Because of the scholar's oath, he cannot inherit the title, nor can he inherit the blood.If August Koorser was an ordinary scholar, the Prime Minister and the others would dare to hide their ears and steal the bell and secretly bring back August Koorser, but August Koorser's identity as a bright scholar is destined to be countless eyes on him.

The prime minister had no choice but to be thankful that Antonio I was not dead, and he would not have made the decision that might become a sinner of the pansy empire.

Antonio I, who was lingering on the sickbed, barely listened to the prime minister's words. He said intermittently: "Bring him back... If the magic island disagrees, declare war on the magic island..."

It is the Milley Library that binds scholars to keep their oath.But in the palace, it was no secret that the backing of the Millais library was the Magic Island.Naturally, the Millais Library did not dare to challenge the Pansy Empire, but the Magic Island was not necessarily so.

However, in the face of the inheritance of the empire and the survival of the empire, the magic island has become less sacred and inviolable.

……

Nou glanced at Ace, and said, "Even August I only inherited the throne and was not married. What do you say?" Nou raised his chin slightly, looking extremely arrogant.It was like seeing him for the first time in Ace Bremen many years ago.

"Oh, please, Nou, don't be so mean to me." Ace thought of the special selection method for university students. For Guangming University students, marriage is torture.

Thinking of the news he received today, Nuo Ou was also a little bit disappointed, "Sorry."

"My friend, you never have to say sorry to me." Seeing Nou turn his head away, Ace said immediately.

Ace stared at Nou intently with his emerald green eyes. Although Ace found Sykes' silver eyes mysterious and attractive, in the eyes of many people, the young master Ace of the Neumann family was not inferior to Sai Kes. Keith's beautiful eyes can easily fascinate people.

If Duke Green hadn't said that Ace was going to attack the bottleneck of the fourth-level swordsman, and stopped him intentionally or unintentionally, Ace would have received no fewer banquet invitations than him.

Nou received Ace's gaze, and looked back at those charming eyes like rippling blue waves.

For some reason, Bernadette felt that the sweet cake after the meal was a bit sticky.

Bernadette: "Brother, when are we going back to Green Castle?" Ever since Ace went to Rose Castle to negotiate with Princess Mary and brought back Bernadette's guardian knight, Bernadette was looking forward to returning to Green Castle .Looking forward to returning to her native land, where she was born.

Facing his sister, Nuoou looked very gentle, "Next year the emperor will send a mission to the Finger Empire. Prince Xiben and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are in charge of this matter, and I have to help them. After sending the mission to leave the imperial capital, we will Just go back to Green Castle. At that time, Ace will go back with us."

Noel and Ace looked at Bernadette at the same time and smiled at her.Although Bernadette was used to seeing beauties since she was a child, a blush still stained her cheeks when she was watched by two older brothers who were much more beautiful than usual.

"Okay." After Bernadette whispered, she walked up the spiral staircase in a daze and went back to her room.

After Bernadette left, Ace and Noel also stood up from the table.Nou suddenly said: "Is there anything you want to tell me? Or do you need my help?"

Ace blinked, "What?"

Nou: "Forget it."

Ace:? ? ?

Afterwards, thinking of this moment, Ace regretted it very much! He should have asked clearly what happened!
