Skeleton King

Nuoou subconsciously avoided Bernadette's touch, and he called, "Bernadette."

Princess Bernadette withdrew her hand and clasped her hands together, "I'm sorry, brother." It is very impolite to touch other people's things without their permission, even if it is Princess Bernadette's own brother. .

Noel and Bernadette sat down at the edge of the restaurant one after another.

Bernadette still couldn't forget that doll. Apart from the fact that the doll was indeed delicate and cute, and looked full of aura, Bernadette couldn't imagine that Noel would be interested in such a doll. They looked too mismatched.

Bernadette said: "Brother, can you show me the doll?"

Noou's tone was light but undeniable, "No, Bernadette, have a good breakfast."

Bernadette was silent. She spread cranberry jam on the toast with a knife, and concentrated on eating breakfast, but her pair of big blue eyes like Nou's kept turning.

……

The imperial capital of the Finger Empire, the hot spring palace on the outskirts of the Finger royal family.

Unlike when Ace was still in the Finger Palace, his bedroom was empty and lifeless.At this moment, there are maids and attendants coming in and out of the hot spring palace in the outskirts. They brought gifts from nobles and lords, as well as the treasures of the royal families of the Finger Palace. The things that Princess Muse was reluctant to give to the old Prince Phil were exhausted. delivered.

When Ace played Prince Phil, although he didn’t have many chances to show up, he still met most of the nobles. At that time, Princess Muse didn’t expect the real Prince Phil to appear, and most people in the Palace of Finger also knew Ai Si. s.For ordinary people, explaining the old and new Prince Phil is definitely very tricky, but Princess Muse insisted on rounding things up.

After returning from Grimace Mountain, Princess Muse took the initiative to tell the ministers that Phil Finger was actually someone else.

Because the shameless foreign minister of the Pansy Empire and Princess Muse knew the existence of Prince Phil successively. Although Princess Muse took back Prince Phil first, the Pansy Empire had also sent a killer.In order to protect the safety of Prince Phil, the last heir of the Pansy Empire, Princess Muse had to find someone to pretend to be Prince Phil.

Now, the killer sent by the Pansy Empire has been found by Princess Muse and secretly executed.Time to introduce them to the real Prince Phil.

Although there are many loopholes in Princess Muse's words, what can the Minister of the Finger Empire do?They can only accept reality.

Not to mention that Princess Muse has produced solid evidence to prove the identity of the new Phil Finger. By this time, the ministers of the Finger Empire have also discovered how far Princess Muse has controlled the government.

With the acquiescence of the old king and the ignorance of Prince Bartholomew, Princess Muse has been infiltrating the government of the Finger Empire for many years, and she has installed her cronies in many confidential departments.Even if adults with real power join forces to oppose her, she can immediately replace a large number of opponents and put her own people in power, and things in the Finger Empire will not be paralyzed.

The ministers of the Finger Empire dared to scold the old king in their hearts, why did you give such a girl so much power and not let her embroider at home, let her get close to the Golden Lion Sword Master and play with military power before, now she No one can stop Game of Thrones.

In any case, it has become a foregone conclusion for Princess Muse to evade Prince Phil to participate in the government.There were ministers who put their chips on Ace before, but they were all held by Princess Muse, and now they are also walking on eggshells.

It was already very cold.The charcoal fire was burning in the depths of the bedroom, this was the best silver-filament charcoal, the charcoal the size of a finger was worth a gold coin, burning all day and all night like in the bedroom, nothing could be more extravagant.

But no one dared to say anything.

The new Prince Phil has inherited the physique of his ancestors, even worse. His legs cannot walk normally, and he has to sit in a wheelchair all year round.

Princess Muse deliberately chose the most docile maid and attendant to follow him, for fear of disobeying Prince Phil and making him unhappy.At this time, Princess Muse still needs a legitimate heir to the Finger Empire.

However, when Princess Muse and everyone in the bedroom knew nothing about it, a special conversation took place in Prince Phil's bedroom.The owner of this conversation is enough to surprise people, it is the old and new Prince Phil.

As they have seen countless times before, Carl Kaiser is half leaning on the bed, and Ace is sitting on a chair not far from his bed.They are separated by a distance, not too close, not too unfamiliar.

Both were silent, and it was Ace who broke the weird silence first.

"What do you want me to do?" Ever since Ace became the owner of Eternal Night City, Carl Caesar has never been less than the Skeleton Knight of Eternal Night City. In addition to protecting Carl Caesar's safety, the Skeleton Knight provides Ace and Carl Caesar sent the message because Carl Caesar's health was so bad that Ace was worried that he would die accidentally one day.

Therefore, on Grimace Mountain, Ace noticed that the skeleton knight next to Carl Caesar had not disappeared, and Princess Eugenia was guarding him alone.Ace knew that Carl Kaiser's actions were voluntary.

Carl Kaiser leaned on the bed, his black hair hanging down smoothly, his eyes were calm, "I think there are some things I should explain to you."

"Are you Phil Black, or are you Phil Finger's business, or is it 'our' chamber of commerce?" Ace's voice was not without ridicule.

Of course Ace has reason to be angry.Being imprisoned in the Fell Palace by the forbidden magic circle was the biggest somersault Ace had ever fallen in his life.Although Ace later researched the secret of the Skeleton King's Magic Tower and gradually regained the initiative, the hardships and dangers in the middle are really beyond the understanding of outsiders.

"Both." Carl Kaiser's voice was soft, and he didn't have the vitality of a young man at all, like a weather-beaten old man.The fact is indeed true. The pain that spread from the soul to the body made Carl Kaiser feel extremely long every day, every night, every moment. He once looked forward to the end of his life so much. After getting to know Ace, he discovered that, His "illness" will not end until the end of his life.

Karl Kaiser originally thought it was his misfortune, but he didn't realize that it was doomed when he was born.

"Ace, there should be few people who know more about me than you. My father, the president of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, took care of me when I was a child, and he ignored me when I was an adult." Carl Caesar said Those tortuous pasts were lightly brought up, and he said: "I used to be very ignorant, and I did a lot of extreme things. In the end, I realized that this was all my imagination, and my existence itself was a mistake."

Carl Kaiser was silent for a while, and said: "I actually don't remember much about the Finger Empire. My mother never told anyone about my real life experience, and everyone thought I was adopted by them. Knowing that the Black family After looking for Phil Black, I wanted to start over in the name of Phil Black and re-establish the chamber of commerce that really belongs to me."

"But my legs." Carl Kaiser looked down. If he had known that this was the reason for the curse at first, maybe he would not have hated himself so much, hated his frailty and disability, "So I hope you replace me Go to Black Manor, I know, only you will not covet the title of Duke Black. I feel better in my heart. Ace, I act like I don’t care about anything, but I am the one who can’t see through.”

Ace said impatiently: "Then Phil Finger?"

Carl Caesar's voice was full of apology, "I didn't know it at first. Although I felt that there was something wrong with this identity after I arrived at Black Manor, I didn't think that I was from the Finger family. Ace, I really want to Establish a chamber of commerce with you. We stand in the shadows, but we can control the economic lifeline of the two empires, and even lead the rise and fall of the empire. Ace, we used to work so well together, and I think the future will be the same."

Carl Caesar chuckled and said, "Who would have thought that our chamber of commerce was jointly established by the blood of Koauser and the blood of Finger."

The world is impermanent.

Ace said, "You asked me to come over, is that all?"

Carl Kaiser said: "I want to apologize to you for dragging you into this mess. And, Ace, please let Princess Muse go."

Ace's eyes were cold, looking at Carl Kaiser as if he was looking at a dead person.Carl Caesar is not afraid of him. Since he knew Ace, he has often accompanied death and slept with skeletons at night.

Carl Caesar said: "Princess Muse is not very good when she comes back from Grimace Mountain. I can see that the curse has come true on her. The Finger Empire was founded 800 years ago, and she is the first cursed girl in the Finger family. She I can still hold on now, but when she finds out, that kind of pain will stay with her forever, without end. I don’t know if she can hold on.”

Ace said: "If you want to get something, you have to give something."

When Princess Muse decides to get involved in the royal power, she may be infected with the curse.The Finger family does not allow girls to participate in politics, so it is not their protection.She was going to come out of the castle, put on her armor, and naturally bear the sword.

Carl Kaiser said: "Ace, letting her live is the greatest punishment for her."

"Karl, this is the first time you asked me something." Ace's hand slid down towards the void, and a huge space crack appeared in Prince Phil's bedroom. From the space crack, Ace, Karl Caesar can see the endless darkness, and countless gray space turbulence, which is the passage to the dead world, and Ace can use it to travel through every corner of the world.

Ace was about to leave.

Karl Kaiser knew that it was Ace who agreed to his request.

"But, Carl, you must also understand that I will only let her go this time." The sound of space turbulence was too loud, and Ace's voice was mixed along the space crack.

"I know." Carl Caesar said softly. He watched Ace was about to walk into the space crack, and said again: "Ace, Princess Muse has told me that your real surname should be Koose. Ever wanted to be king of pansies?"

Although Carl Caesar is now the puppet of Princess Muse, but with his IQ and strategy, he cannot always be the puppet of Princess Muse.Even now, the Princess Muse must have the signature of Karl Caesar to make decisions on major national affairs.He is the true heir to the empire.

If Ace really has an idea for the throne of Pansy, with the help of Carl Caesar, it will undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort.

But the only answer to Karl Kaiser was the sound of endless space turbulence, and the slowly closing space cracks.
