Skeleton King

North Sea.

Christian Colvin has the nautical charts of several islands in the North Sea. He is taking a black quill to scribble on the white paper and continue to draw the nautical charts.As expected of the most talented son of Prime Minister Corvin of the Pansy Empire, Christian Corvin became an excellent navigator after wandering at sea for several months.

A young man with red hair walked up to Christian Colvin. He had just arranged for the sailors to drop anchor, and they would reach the largest island in the North Sea in two days' journey, "Christian, have you seen Your Highness?" ?"

This red-haired young man is of course Antonio Heder, he is the son of the deputy head of the Pansy Empire Royal Guard Knights, after Prince Nishimoto came to power, his father has been pushed out of the center of power, it is unknown now Was assigned to a knight order in a small province.The His Royal Highness mentioned by Antonio Herd and Christian Corvin is naturally the Prince of Aachen.

Since that day when they met Princess Fenfur in the cabin in the suburban capital of the Pansy Empire, they left the inland with Prince Aachen and went directly to the sea.The sea is vast, and no matter how powerful Prince Nishimoto is, it is difficult to find them.

Christian Colvin paid attention to the wind direction and the clouds above their heads, and said indifferently, "His Royal Highness is in the cabin."

"His Highness has been staying in the cabin these days, will there be nothing wrong?" Antonio Hurd muttered.

Christian Kerwin rolled his eyes and said, "What can happen? Your Highness is about to break through."

Antonio Hurd was overjoyed at first, but soon his expression became strange.

It was Christian Colvin who saw something was wrong with him and asked him, "Hesitating, what are you trying to say?"

Antonio Hurd hesitated for a long time, then said in a low voice, as if he was worried about being discovered by someone, "Christian, tell me, what if His Highness is not awakening pansy vindictiveness?"

"Impossible." Christian Kerwin said without thinking.

Christian Colvin never cared about the Prince of Aachen blood.

He asked: "Even if His Highness's awakened Dou Qi is ordinary, he is still His Majesty's child. Will you betray His Highness because of this?"

Antonio Hurd said helplessly: "No. Sigh. How could you think I would do that? Since I swore an oath to His Highness, protecting him and following him is my greatest mission. However, I also swore an oath to the Empire. "If the Prince of Aachen is not of the blood of the Koauser family, wouldn't his loyalty to the Prince of Aachen violate his other oaths?

Looking at Antonio Hurd's nervous appearance, Christian Corvin knew that not everyone was the same as him, and thinking that they had already reached the sea, there was no need to hide some things from him.Christian Colvin said: "Actually, I met my father before I left the imperial capital."

Antonio Hurd turned pale with shock, "What? Prime Minister Colvin knew we were coming to Beihai? No, no, we came to Beihai as a temporary decision after meeting Princess Fenfur. We were all together along the way, you can't have The opportunity to pass the message to Prime Minister Colvin. Could it be that the Prime Minister actually supports His Highness and ordered you to follow His Highness quietly?"

Thinking of this possibility, Antonio Hurd couldn't help but beam with joy.

Prime Minister Colvin is well known for his wit and wit. If he places his bet on the Prince of Aachen, then... Antonio Hurd couldn't help but imagine him riding a steed and returning to the imperial capital as His Royal Highness's guardian knight—Flowers The streets were sprinkled, and girls lined the streets to welcome them.

Seeing how his companion was about to float up in an instant, Christian Colvin quickly stopped his thoughts, "I just went home to say goodbye to my father. I followed His Highness and left. Whether it was going to the northwest or going to sea, there was no other way. I have done my filial piety in front of my parents. I have to go back to meet them. I thought at the time that I would go with His Highness whether my father agreed or not. But I didn't expect that my father didn't forcefully stop me, but followed me Said something..."

Antonio Hurd stared dumbfounded at his companion.

Christian Colvin's thoughts gradually drifted away——

That day, Christian Colvin sneaked back to the prime minister's mansion, and just after saying goodbye to his mother, he ran into Prime Minister Colvin.Christian Colvin hadn't planned to meet his father at first, because he knew that if Prime Minister Colvin insisted on stopping him, he would definitely not be able to leave, and it was very likely that the hiding place of Prince Aachen would be exposed.However, Christian Colvin did not expect that Prime Minister Colvin just asked him calmly: "Are you going with Prince Aachen?"

Christian Colvin nodded and said, "Yes."

Prime Minister Colvin asked again: "Even if Prince Aachen's life experience is unknown?"

"Forget about the others. Can't father see it? Years ago, Prince Xiben had made rumors that His Highness had doubts about his life experience and slandered His Highness. Now he took an astrolabe of unknown origin, saying it was from Magic Island, and everyone Believe him?! It's ridiculous!" Christian Colvin's intelligence followed his father since he was a child. He didn't believe that his father would not be able to see things that he could see. Now he heard his father's words Questioned, he was very angry, "I don't believe that His Highness is not the son of His Majesty Ludwig IV!"

Prime Minister Kerwin nodded calmly, and said, "I think so too." Seeing Christian Kerwin's puzzled eyes, he smiled cunningly, "How many people do you think really believe in Prince Xiben? The astrolabe taken out? Oh, except for those aristocrats who only know how to hunt, drink, and play with women, they are filled with righteous indignation. They may not even be sure whether their son is their own. But do you think Ludwig IV Is His Majesty the same fool as them?"

"Of course not. His Majesty Ludwig IV is the most wise." Christian Kerwin was puzzled: "But, father, since you know, why don't you speak for His Highness?"

Prime Minister Colvin thought of Prince Aachen's panicked appearance after seeing the results of the astrolabe appraisal, and he said angrily: "Your Highness broke the good cards yourself. Your Majesty is under confinement, and Prince Xiben has shown his sharpness." , the prince of Aachen is useless.

Princess Fenfur is precocious, but unfortunately she was adopted by Queen Celia.At first, I thought that she would change a little after staying in the Knights training camp for a few years, but the girl, she was seduced by the people of the Finger Empire, failed to complete the trial, and lost the qualification to inherit the throne.

Even if His Majesty is not imprisoned, after a hundred years, our family will still be loyal to the new king.

You said, how should the family choose between the brave and scheming Prince Xiben and your Highness Kuibao?

Because of this, the Duke of Green and the Minister of Foreign Affairs all stood beside Prince Xiben early on.Christian, when His Majesty Ludwig IV is alive, I will not swear to anyone. When His Majesty passes away, I will only be loyal to his designated heir.But for the sake of the family, I cannot offend Prince Xiben. "

Christian Colvin was not overwhelmed by his father's bitterness. He said: "If the father is really loyal to His Majesty Ludwig IV, he should protect his own son. As long as the father is willing to help us... ..."

Prime Minister Colvin waved his hand and stopped Christian Colvin from continuing, "Christian, have you ever thought about why the rumors about Prince Aachen were so rampant in those years?" In Christian Cole With Wen's pale face, Prime Minister Colvin paused and said, "It's because he doesn't have the pansy mark."

Christian Colvin was shocked and said, "No, it's impossible."

Everyone in the Keosi family has a pansy mark on their body. Prince Xiben's is on his wrist, and he can see this mark every time someone shakes hands with him; Princess Mary's pansy mark is on her shoulder, when she wears When wearing an off-the-shoulder evening dress, the pansy imprint on her shoulders is vivid; Her Majesty Ludwig IV's pansy imprint is on the center of the eyebrows. This is something that everyone in the imperial capital knows, even if everyone else has not seen it. Anyone who passed him would immediately recognize His Majesty.

Thinking of the rumor, Christian Kerwin argued: "Your Highness and Princess Fenfur are twins, and the places where their marks are located are exactly the same. Your Highness's mark should be on the chest, but if he said it and showed it , not good for Princess Fenfur's reputation."

Prime Minister Colvin said: "Then how do you know the location of the imprint of Prince Aachen's pansy?" Christian Colvin's face changed drastically, Prime Minister Colvin chuckled, and said, "That's Queen Celia's special order. Release the news."

Christian Kervin said: "But His Majesty Ludwig IV must know."

A long time ago, the Keoser family had a tradition that all children who reached the age of 12 would be gathered together, and the elders would give them the Awakened Pansy mark in turn according to their birthdays.The specific function of the pansy mark is unknown to Colvin and his son, but the person with the pansy mark must be the blood of the Keouser family.

Later, when the Coorser family competed in the world, the blood of the pansies spread all over the west side of Prine Canyon, and it became very difficult for all the 12-year-old children of the family to get together, and this tradition gradually disappeared.

Usually when the children of the Keauser family are 12 years old, his father or other dignified people help them awaken their blood. His Majesty Ludwig IV will definitely help Prince Aachen and Princess Fenfur to awaken the tricolor Viola imprinted.According to the logic, on the spot, the pansy imprint would appear somewhere on their bodies.

Christian Kervin continued: "No one knows better than His Majesty Ludwig IV whether His Highness has successfully awakened. Would His Majesty Ludwig IV be happy to wear this cuckold?"

Prime Minister Colvin said calmly: "But there is another situation. Prince Aachen is the son of His Majesty Ludwig IV, but he cannot awaken the pansy fighting spirit. After Prince Xiben, before Prince Aachen, Ludwig His Majesty IV has other children."

Back then, when it was still a tradition for many descendants of the Keoser family to awaken the pansy imprint, very few children failed to awaken.This became more common when the land west of Prynne Canyon was named after the pansy.

It was found that children of the same father must awaken the pansy mark in order of age, unless the first child dies, otherwise the latter child will not show the pansy mark even if he breaks through and becomes a sword master.

Christian Kerwin murmured: "However, the first queen has long passed away. Moreover, in the early years, His Majesty Ludwig IV went to the Magic Island. It is not because there is a faint news that His Majesty will only usher in three lives in this life. birth?"

Prime Minister Colvin's black eyes shone with broken light. He sneered and said, "I've been thinking about this all these years. The birth of three lives, the prophecies of Magic Island are always so plausible and mysterious. Prince Aachen and Princess Fenfur They are twins, His Majesty welcomes them into the world, does that count as one life or two?"

Christian Kerwin gradually figured out the truth, "Then His Majesty Ludwig IV has other blood flowing outside? As long as he does not awaken the pansy imprint, His Highness will never awaken the pansy imprint."

Prime Minister Kerwin acquiesced to Christian Kerwin's conjecture. In fact, he had followed His Majesty Ludwig IV for many years, and he was almost certain that His Majesty Ludwig IV had someone he couldn't let go of, but he still Before he had time to figure it out, Prince Xiben's wolf ambition couldn't be stopped.

Christian Colvin said: "I don't think this is possible. His Majesty Ludwig IV is not a person who will go out for flirting. If His Majesty really likes a girl, he will know her before Queen Celia. Your Majesty will definitely marry her. Your Majesty is handsome and kingly, who can refuse His Majesty?"

Prime Minister Colvin said indifferently: "Christian, you haven't felt the taste of love. In true love, there is no high or low. What is the difference between an emperor and a commoner? Sometimes I hope you can taste its beauty , and sometimes wish you never knew about it."

Prime Minister Colvin looked towards the outskirts of the imperial capital, where there is a beautiful rose garden, and the castle in it is even more famous, "No matter how wise and wise His Majesty Ludwig IV is, there are times when he is young and frivolous. You see, Prince Xiben is so High above, in front of the one he loves, he should be low in the dust."

After thinking about the rumor, Christian Colvin finally fell silent.

……

The Green family was on the carriage heading to the imperial capital.

Ace was leaning on Noou's shoulder, his legs resting directly on the wall of the carriage, with a book in his hand, reading it with relish.During the period, Nou pushed Ace away twice, but Ace leaned back in the name of "comfort".

Nuoou frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you getting more and more lazy."

Ace let out a breath, and said, "I'm not used to it, I feel like I'm still a doll." The astrology doll uses Nou as a nest every day.

Nou had to ignore him.

Suddenly, Nou felt Ace's body froze, and Ace's hand flipping the book was lowered from the page and covered his forehead.Nuo Ou thought that something happened to him, so he quickly turned around and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Ace shook his head, covering his forehead with his hand to prevent Noou from looking, looking very uncomfortable.Nuo Ou didn't dare to pull him forcibly, only worried about aggravating his situation.

After a few more minutes, Ace put his hand off his forehead, because he pressed too hard just now, and the area between his brows was still very red.

Ace looked up and saw the concern in Noou's eyes, and he said, "It's done."

"Who cares about you." Seeing that Ace didn't want to say anything, Nou didn't ask again. He took the book from Ace's hand and said, "Don't read books in the carriage."

Ace knew that Nou was unhappy, but he only sighed in his heart.It may be because his level of swordsman is getting higher and higher, and the pansy imprint on the center of his brow is becoming more and more difficult to hide, and it will become hot and revealing from time to time, reminding Ace of his existence.

But this kind of situation only happened once in a few weeks, and it happened when no one was around. This was the first time that Ace was almost exposed in front of other people.

Ace looked to the north, in the direction of the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire. For some reason, he went to the imperial capital again, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.As Ace became stronger and stronger, he also believed in his intuition more and more. What could make him feel so uneasy and terrified?

What could it be?
