Can't Su

Holt has been feeling a little off lately.

Not to mention the strange old John, even the critically ill old king seemed to have a lot of little tricks behind his back, as if his spirit had improved a lot.I don't know if it is because of this, the attitude of many nobles has become ambiguous again, and when they heard the invitation to the banquet, they only vaguely stated that they would be there.

What concerned him the most was that the king of Darko came back alive.He used strong means to eliminate those nobles who were about to move during his departure, which made Holt wonder whether the king who fell into the river and survived deliberately faked his death to design all this.

Thankfully, at least he didn't hear that Swift was back alive, too.Otherwise, he will inevitably be killed.With a flash of coldness in his eyes, Holt was at the dinner party at the moment, and beside him was Lydia, who was dressed up. This delicate and charming lily attracted many nobles to look away.

Old John was also at the dinner party, but he ignored Holt at all, just drinking wine silently, with a half-smile, looking at Holt with deep mockery in his eyes.Holt also didn't want to provoke this weird old man at all. He remembered that when he asked John about the dinner in person, he said with a mocking "as long as you don't regret it."

Still a little uneasy, Holt looked at the gorgeously decorated open-air garden.All kinds of flowers are competing to bloom, and there are various delicacies on the long table in the center, and there is a sweet smell in the air.The Empire's First Musical Instrument Troupe is playing music in a specially vacated flower bush, and the cheerful instruments are even more moving against the hazy moonlight and the surrounding firelight.

Holt, who was standing in the center, waved his hand, the musical group stopped playing, and the guests also turned their attention to the middle, who was well-dressed, unabashedly showing his strength, which is completely different from the romantic and passionate in the past: "Today, Gather everyone here..."

The long and boring clichés made Lydia's hopeless heart sink, and she was a little sad to carry out political activities in the name of surprising herself.

"...Since I will be the next king..." Holt was a little too excited today, maybe it was Old John's daring to speak out that made him very comfortable, maybe it was the respectful eyes of the nobles that made him He was extremely proud, maybe... it was because he himself hoped that this remark would reach the old king’s ears, so that he would die in peace. In short, at the banquet where most of the nobles were present, he bluntly stated the default situation come out.

"Who said you will be the next king." Old John interrupted Holt leisurely at this time, and he walked towards Holt who was standing at the highest position in the eyes of everyone, and laughed loudly. , "Joe (the king's name) still has heirs outside, you are not the first heir."

"what--!"

"how is this possible--!"

Some nobles screamed, and some nobles talked a lot.Holt's face changed, and his murderous eyes looked directly at Old John: "Are you ignoring your daughter?"

His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, full of anger.

Old John didn't even give Holt alms out of the corner of his eye. He clapped his hands and refocused all his eyes on him, showing a rare softness on his usually mean and cold face: "And our real crown prince returned to us Brings great news. He will make a milestone contribution to the prosperity of the empire."

"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right!" The arrogant laughter came from the door, and everyone's eyes focused on it, but they couldn't help being surprised.

The visitor had red hair and blue eyes, wearing a black dress that could only be worn by King Dakota, with a long sword hanging around his waist, and a scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.Noticing everyone's gaze, he just raised his eyebrows, grinned at the ugly Holt standing on the high platform, and strode to Old John.

No one dared to stop it, or no one wanted to stop it.The way he walked in was so taken for granted that it was actually his Darko's place, not San Cher.

"I—Gray Cecil, as King Darko, formally swear allegiance to the Crown Prince of Saint Cher." The person who said this did not make any movements, he just told this sentence in a declarative sentence Everyone, after finishing speaking, he took a playful look at Holt, "Oh, of course, the person I swear to will definitely not be a counterfeit, are you right? Lord Rose Duke?"

Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the entrance of the garden with piercing eyes, where a black-haired man in a white dress was walking into the banquet scene with an elegant and calm smile.Behind him was a red-haired man wearing the same style, but at this moment his aura was completely covered by Swift, so that few people paid attention to him.

"It's him—" A little nobleman who had been to Esculli looked at the man with a strong aura in surprise, Father Ace!

Holt stood there expressionless, with a strong killing intent in his eyes, but he didn't move at all.He finally understood what Old John said, don't regret it, but he couldn't figure it out—let's not talk about how this guy escaped from death, the important thing is why he can get more money than himself in such a short period of time agree.

From the scene, it seems that except for Old John, everyone else is ignorant.But he obviously found that the nobles with higher positions in it did not express any surprise. They must have reached some kind of agreement, and this agreement can bring them greater benefits than cooperating with him!

"Of course, the temptation of Sein's products is not something ordinary people can refuse." If Swift understood Holt's doubts at the moment, he would definitely tell him so.

It took them two days to convince Green and let the two Seins sign a trade agreement on this.Then, they quickly returned to St. Cher through the shortcut provided by the eager snake girl.But they didn't return to Esculli. They were stopped by the old John who happened to meet when they passed the imperial capital, so they knew an unexpected news-Swift was the only heir of the old king.

Pan, who followed them back to the mainland, also readily agreed to the trade treaty between the two parties after inspecting the situation on the mainland.And this offers the strongest possible conditions for Swift to join the race for the throne.

Rose, who returned to Dakota after returning to the mainland, also found Swift a few days later, offered the city that belonged to him with both hands, and said with burning eyes that as long as he was by his side, it was enough.Oh, by the way, only Rose was left in their bodies at this moment.Rose's soul was too weak, and Lu didn't dare to take it out at will, so he had to take out the soul of the real owner of the body, Gray, and put it in the forest.Rose and Gray, who didn't have much sense of belonging to Darko, discussed and decided to use Darko to compensate their priest for the little flower that was lost without giving it to the priest.

"With such a big sacrifice, our priest probably won't run away with others again." Gray laughed loudly before being taken out, "And you, Rose. Be more arrogant when taking the oath, and give our priest some support." place!"

That's why Rose's appearance today is completely different from his previous style.

"I haven't announced yet, what are you arguing about?" When the situation in the audience was one-sided and Holt's face was too ugly to look ugly, an old voice sounded.

The sound was actually not loud, but after everyone heard it, they all quieted down in unison.I can't help but sigh in my heart, the scares this night are really bigger than one...

The person who came was the king who was said to be critically ill. His complexion was indeed unwell, frighteningly pale.When he walked tremblingly into the crowd, people were frightened, for fear that he would fall down accidentally.

"You came just in time, someone here shamelessly pretended to be your heir and wanted to seize the throne!" Jack was relieved the moment he saw the king's rebuttal.He was the one who had offended Swift in Escullis. If he became king, he would not spare him, so he could only fully support Holt in taking the throne.

The king did not go very far, nor did he pay attention to the shouts of an insignificant little nobleman.He stopped right next to Swift, looked up and down at the energetic Swift with cloudy eyes, and nodded repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good! As expected of my son! Crown Prince of Saint Cher!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience fell silent.Holt snorted coldly and slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground. The moment the king appeared, he knew that he was impossible.Holt, who was filled with anger for a moment, gave Swift a hard look, and left the party without saying goodbye to the old king.He knew that his painstaking efforts over the years would be in vain, unless——rebellion.But with Swift backed by Darko's force, even a rebellion is unlikely.

With unprecedented bitterness in his mouth, Holt walked alone on the dark path, and finally stopped and let out a long sigh.He lost, and he lost in a mess.

The author has something to say:

The world is finished! ! ! !Tomorrow, there will be a special episode, okay?

In this world, Li Zi didn’t control QAQ well. Next time, Li Zi should get out and write a long novel. If he doesn’t write about fast travel, it’s a bit tiring to write fast...

Then, about the world plum is actually a pity that it deviates from my original outline a lot, a lot.Afterwards, I can’t pull back, I feel that it’s too hasty to end like this, and it’s too long-winded if it doesn’t end... I’m so tired to say...

I am still very grateful to the little angels for their comments~ Otherwise, Li Zi might want to abandon the pit (cover his face), and I don’t want to write about it...orz, Li Zi will definitely not write so long in the next world!mwah!There will be more emotional scenes!
