Skeleton King

For a moment, Princess Muse didn't even realize what happened.

Until the rainbow vision in the sky disappeared, the ghost face flowers on the ghost face mountain were still around Ace.There are actually many kinds of ghost face flowers. The most common ones on Ghost Face Mountain are pale yellow and black, but the ghost face flowers around Ace are all purple, white, and gold, and they are all pansies.

Princess Muse felt dizzy for a while.

What did she do? !

She actually let the royal family of the Pansy Empire—the Keouser family pretend to be the crown prince of the Finger Empire. If Ace Neumann signed the contract on her behalf just now, what terrible situation would she push the empire into? !

The golden long whip in Princess Muse's hand quickly swung towards Ace like a golden snake. Ace's figure was like a swimming fish and slid to the side at an incredible angle, avoiding Princess Muse's attack.

Princess Muse shook violently, she didn't know whether she was angry, or fear, more likely both, she looked at Ace and asked: "Ace Neumann, no, who are you? "

Ace still looks calm and breezy, and there is no difference in Ace's expression when Princess Muse asked him to play the crown prince of the Finger Empire, "I am Ace Neumann, Princess Muse , who else could I be?"

Princess Muse finally understands Princess Eugenia's worries. No matter whether it is facing the identity of Duke Black or the identity of the crown prince of the Finger Empire, the person who is flattered or humiliated is not so easy to control.

It's a pity that she understood it too late.

"What is your purpose in coming to the Finger Empire and pretending to be the prince of our empire?" Princess Muse snapped.

Princess Muse knew that the initiative was no longer in her hands at this time.However, during this time, because Princess Muse never thought of letting Ace out of the palace at all, the major and minor matters of the Finger Empire were not hidden from him, not only the cooperation between the Finger Empire and Magic Island, but also the Knights of the Finger Empire The distribution of the regiment and the resumes of the ministers.

Furthermore, if something happened to her today, and the Golden Lion Juggernaut went to Magic Island with the Golden Lion Knights, Ace could justifiably ascend the throne as long as he returned to the Finger Palace.

Even if Princess Eugenia is still alive, she is determined to be unable to stop Ace.

Thinking of this, Princess Muse shuddered.

Ace said indifferently, "His Royal Highness Princess Muse may have forgotten that you personally invited me to the palace and 'asked' me to become the Crown Prince of the Finger Empire with that long whip."

"I'm stupid. Then Ace scholar, no, I should call you His Highness Ace. The Finger family has few descendants, and the Keosi family is not much better. Judging by your age, your father can only be Ludwig IV or Prince Andreas." Even Ace had to admire the psychological quality of Princess Muse, and it didn't take long before Princess Muse calmed down and could push Ace back. life experience.

Princess Muse speculated: "Your father is unlikely to be Prince Andreas. It is rumored that Prince Andreas is an extremely loyal man. After the death of Princess Mary's mother and concubine, he has never been close to a woman. And Princess Mary is not a good heir to the lord, and there are few people who support her in Prince Andreas' territory. Princess Mary has no intention of power. If you are really the son of Prince Andreas, he will not Most likely I won’t take you back.”

Ace chuckled, not denying Princess Muse's speculation.

Princess Muse sneered, and the laughter was full of mockery to herself, "What am I doing? To train the prince of the empire to be the heir of his own empire. Ludwig IV should be very happy, soon, You will be able to regain the land east of the Prin Mountains. In this way, you will stand out among several princes. At that time, as long as he appoints you as his heir, this continent will be unified."

Ace didn't mind letting Princess Muse immerse herself in pain and remorse for a while, but it's not interesting to watch other people's heartbroken, Ace said: "It's a pity that Magic Island won't agree."

Princess Muse looked at him suspiciously, "Why?"

Ace smiled and said, "Why don't you understand? Magic Island is willing to sign a contract with the Finger Empire, not because you sent them the Knights of the Empire, but because they don't want the mainland to be unified."

In an instant, Princess Muse's face became extremely pale.

Ace poked a knife in her heart indifferently, "It's been almost 1000 years, why do you think the magic island is above the two empires? It's because we are killing each other, we all need the help of the magic island, and we dare not Offend them. No matter which side gets the support of Magic Island, that side can become the overlord of this continent."

"But the mainland is unified, what good is it for the magic island? Apart from the vast ocean, what else can protect the magic island? There are indeed powerful people who are not born on the magic island, and there are many precious species, but whether it is the experimental materials of magicians , or the weapon material of the Juggernaut, which one is not enshrined by the two great empires every year. That small island can't even be self-sufficient." Ace ruthlessly tore apart the truth.

"They don't even need to occupy the two major empires. We dedicate to them the most precious fruits and rarest materials on this land every year. And because of the reputation of the magic island, whether it is a magician or a Swordsmen, those most talented young people, who didn’t go to Magic Island early.” In Ace’s view, Magic Island’s approach is the smartest, and in the name of impartiality, it has become a blood-sucking worm of the two empires. , "How many aborigines can there be on Magic Island? By themselves, they would have been extinct long ago."

"When the Finger Empire and the Pansy Empire are united, what good will Magic Island gain? At that time, the new, unprecedentedly powerful empire will only attack Magic Island. How can others sleep peacefully under the couch? ?!" Ace said decisively.

On the top of the mountain, the figure of Princess Muse was even a little shaky, she said softly: "You mean, without the Golden Lion Sword Master leaving the Finger Empire, I wouldn't send so many knights there, and Magic Island wouldn't look at three Has the Viola Empire fought against the Prin Mountains? You don't have to sow discord anymore."

It's a pity that the wind on the mountain was too strong, which quickly drowned out Princess Muse's words.

Probably in Princess Muse's heart, she also believed Ace's words.

But what can she do?

Time was running out for the old king and Prince Bartholomew. When the plan was finalized, the old king completely let go of his power. He told his beloved daughter, "Muse, this empire can only rely on you."

The huge empire can only rely on her to make decisions, because it involves the deepest secrets hidden by the Finger family. She can't even tell the ministers who are confidantes. The most important and the two people I love the most.She also had to fulfill her merciful younger brother and let Princess Fenfur leave the palace without a trace.

But her dear brother never thought that his sister Wang, his empire, would fall into a situation of eternal doom if he was a little careless.

Even if Princess Muse understood in her heart, how could she dare to risk the honor of the Finger family for hundreds of years and the empire to try.

Ace said: "All dynasties have their established destiny, why should you forcefully change their destiny against the sky?"

"You don't understand." Princess Muse wanted to say this. She wanted to say that Ace was not born in a royal family, so it was impossible for him to understand the responsibilities she had shouldered since she was a child.

But soon, Princess Muse remembered that Ace's real surname should be Keosi, and he was indeed the prince of another empire on the mainland.

"Maybe. I don't understand." Ace said.

Esco has never carried the fate of an empire on his shoulders.

"Are you going to kill me?" Princess Muse said.After the star stone was broken, Ace's magic was no longer under control. In this place full of grimace flowers, Princess Muse may not be Ace's opponent.

"No." Ace said: "If you kill you, the Finger Empire will inevitably produce a new king. If you are unlucky, an ambitious man will come to you. At that time, you will bump into that idiot Xiben, and you will treat the people of this continent as a king." Just kidding. Moreover, the plan for Magic Island is unclear, and at this time, it is not appropriate for the two empires to undergo major changes."

In Ace's view, Princess Muse deserves death. Everything she has done so far is for the sake of the empire, and has not caused any actual losses.Although Princess Muse and Princess Eugenia threatened Ace several times, they are now free, and Ace doesn't take them seriously.

Whether it's Princess Muse or Princess Eugenia, Ace knows them well enough.

At that time, the Finger Empire will be replaced by someone else, no matter if they are talented or stupid, they will be more troublesome to Ace, Magic Island, and the two empires than they are.

As for Ace sitting in this position by himself?

Having seen the fate of the two royal families of the empire, whether it is the Keosi family who cannot be loved for life, or the Finger family who is forever torn from the soul, most of the male heirs die young.Ace considers himself a normal person and doesn't want to challenge this.

"Then, goodbye." Ace had finished speaking, turned around, and was about to leave gracefully.

Suddenly, Youdao's golden grudge appeared behind him accompanied by the lion's roar, and the voice of Princess Muse, "It's a pity that I don't trust you."

Princess Muse watched as the golden lion roared and hit Ace on the back, and Ace fell off the cliff like a kite that lost its string.

Princess Muse murmured dreamily: "You are so smart, as long as you live, this empire will be yours."

For the last blow, in order to surprise and be powerful enough, Princess Muse exhausted all her fighting spirit.

Not only that, a trickle of blood began to flow out of Princess Muse's nose and mouth. She completely overdrawn her body and even affected her soul.

In the end, Princess Muse lay on her back on the grass, like a broken doll, she could feel the pain of her soul being torn apart in the sea of ​​consciousness, and she vaguely understood the previous experiences of her father and Prince Bartholomew .

This kind of pain will accompany her forever, in the world and in death, like a shadow.

She thought lightly, she still did not escape the fate of the Finger family in the end.

……

Jacob, the Golden Lion Juggernaut, and the knights of the Golden Lion Knights have all left. Grimace Mountain, except for Princess Muse, Ace, the guards of the Finger Palace who stayed at the bottom of the mountain, and Eugenie in the cave Princess Asia, Carl Kaiser.

Carl Kaiser rested his elbows on the armrests of the wheelchair, and his whole body weight was on it. His panting was still rapid, but the expression of pain before was no longer on his face.

I don't know what happened just now, the stars moved, and even the cave was suddenly full of stars.

Carl Kaiser seemed to have been punched in the face, curled up in a wheelchair, looking extremely painful.

Princess Eugenia was worried that Carl Caesar died here, how would she explain to Ace.Fortunately, Carl Kaiser was stronger than she imagined, and she still resisted.

Although Princess Eugenia accompanied Carl Caesar, she also noticed that Jacob brought the Golden Lion Juggernaut and Golden Lion Knights away from Grimace Mountain. She thought that Princess Muse and her plan were executed perfectly. .

But she didn't expect that not long after, she saw Princess Muse's golden lion fighting spirit in the cave.

Although Princess Eugenia didn't know what happened, she knew that the materialized golden lion required Princess Muse's whole body of fighting spirit, which was the hole card that Princess Muse used to save her life at a critical moment.

Apart from Princess Muse, there was only Ace on the top of the mountain, and Ace was sent from Black Manor to the imperial capital of the Finger Empire by her own hands.

Princess Eugenia felt a chill rush up from the soles of her feet.

Princess Eugenia wants to go up the mountain. If Ace is dead, she will burn his body to vent her anger; if Ace is still alive, she will kill him to avenge Princess Muse.

If she couldn't do both, they could at least die together.

But now, Princess Eugenia still has something to do. Princess Eugenia pulled the dagger out of the scabbard and walked towards Karl Caesar. Her voice was unwavering, "Don't blame me. You go to die Tell Ace Neumann why he doesn't care about your life."

Carl Caesar's face was still pale, but he looked at Princess Eugenia with unusually calm eyes.

Princess Eugenia put the dagger on Carl Caesar's neck and was about to strike it when she heard him say, "Little cousin, are you really going to kill me?"

Princess Eugenia's pupils shrank slightly. She only felt that the call was a little familiar, and then she heard Carl Caesar say: "Don't you remember? When I was very young, I went to Black Manor. At that time, my uncle I went hunting, there are only you and the old Duchess Black at home, I am only a little over 3 years old, and you are going to take me to ride a horse."

"Actually, my original name was Phil Blake." Princess Eugenia put a dagger against Karl Caesar's hand, and with the other hand, turned over Karl Caesar's palm, and there was a small black hole on it. Dots, like the traces of a candle burning, "It's been too long. I've already forgotten."

"I thought it would be foolproof to let Ace play my original identity. I was worried that I had forgotten something, and I asked him to go to the dead world to find the ghost of the old Duke Black. But when you went to the imperial capital, at the horse farm of Black Manor, I just Come to think of it, I went there when I was a kid. If I had told Ace earlier, he might not have aroused your suspicion. It wasn't him who got me into trouble, it was I who got him into this situation. Little cousin, do you really want to Kill me?"

The poisoned dagger fell to the cave floor.
