Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Zhou Lingke and Xia En left, and Queen Sophia kept the silence she had kept for more than a year, but with an unpredictable and profound smile on her face.Prince Zoe's face was blue and his expression was gloomy. He hadn't been deflated in Mangtan for a long time.The ministers didn't start arguing until the figure of the necromancer disappeared.But no one paid attention to the man who should be the most authoritative, the reckless monarch.

Frank was also used to this kind of situation. He sat upright on his throne, looking like a lifeless wood carving—just a representation of an image, but it didn't actually have any meaning.

When the chaos first started, Frank was a little excited, thinking that it was Uncle Wang who couldn't resist.He wasn't crazy, or he gave up on himself too much, but if Prince Zoe really did it at that time, and wanted to kill the king in front of all the reckless military and government officials?Then he is definitely courting death.Because, despite the fact that many people know that the king is just a puppet, but after a long time, the strict hierarchy and the concept of royal power have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If someone shouts "Prince Zoe is rebelling!" hardcore, or a very small number of people.Most people's reaction will be to raise the sword and protect the king.

But it turned out to be just a riot, and the prince, Frank himself, and Queen Sofia were actually together when the riot happened.Frank even saw the king's cronies winking at him. It seemed that the prince's cronies also thought this was a good time for them.At that time, the death of the king and even the queen mother can be counted as riots.But Prince Zoe didn't do that, which disappointed his men and even Frank.But who made this prince a person who cherishes his feathers extremely?When Hill VI was alive, he worked hard to create a good reputation for himself, and now it has gradually become a habit.He hasn't killed Frank so far. On the one hand, there are indeed several old ministers, as well as Queen Sophia, who are doing everything possible to protect Frank out of their own interests.On the other hand, he also didn't want to be charged with murdering his nephew.

If both the king and the queen mother were killed in this riot, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, and Prince Zoe obviously didn't think it was safe.

And Zhou Lingke's performance just seriously disgraced Prince Zoe.

While Frank was enjoying watching, he was also a little sad. It was the first time for the teacher to see him on such a critical occasion, and he was such a wimp.In fact, Zhou Lingke has never appeared on a formal occasion, and Frank also played a part. He wants to wait until he really has real power, so that the teacher can see himself in glory.

The ministers below were still chattering. Some said that Zhou Lingke's private research on that dangerous alchemy potion had bad intentions, and some said that Zhou Lingke should increase his research efforts by mobilizing manpower and appropriating a large amount of funds.But in fact, those who are confused are those who don't know the situation and really know something, such as Master Polivi, who are silent.

Frank finally didn't bother to listen at all, and he shifted his gaze a little bit to count how many tassels were hanging down from the tablecloth.His head was a little dazed while counting, and he realized that he probably fell asleep with his eyes open when he was suddenly shocked by the sound of "Everyone go to rest first!"But this is not the first time, he who has been ignored by others has already learned this skill by himself two years ago.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Frank and the Queen Mother took the same car and set foot on the way back.

Shaking in the carriage, Frank thought he was going to fall asleep.

"Hill is a jerk."

The sudden sound made him startled. At first he thought he had heard it wrong, but it also cheered him up suddenly. When he turned his gaze slightly, he found the eyes of the Queen Mother looking over.

"Hill is a bastard." Queen Sophia said the second time, "but now I have to admit that, apart from being lustful and capricious, he is still a qualified ruler. At least he will not do such a meaningless thing." Thing, we left Elsendra, hunted, and returned to Elsendra. Did we get anything other than an accident, whether it was man-made or deliberate, plus an accidental death of a pharmacist? Zoe loves these flamboyant things so much. Although I didn’t expect that I would have such an idea one day, I still have to say—compared with flamboyance, lust is indeed not a disadvantage for a ruler. Mrs. Zoe Lack of courage."

Frank was even stunned when the Queen Mother talked about each other, because it could almost be said to be "heart-to-heart" and "heart-to-heart", which can be said to be a miracle.Is this a test?But even if Archmage Bolivia and Archbishop Candiboya bowed down to Prince Zoe, the Queen Mother could not become his party.Because it was decided from the beginning that Sophia, as Frank's nominal mother, could continue to enjoy herself as the Queen Mother.But Zoe is the younger brother of the former king. If he gains power, the only thing waiting for Sophia is Yuandun.Both Zhou Lingke and Xia En understood this simple truth, and it was impossible for Sophia not to understand it.As for whether she might have been tricked by a handsome man or something, that's even more impossible. Only men think that a woman can't do without a man.

These thoughts flashed through Frank's mind: "How is Cousin Nivea?"

Nivea is the Queen Mother's niece, and she is also one of the most popular candidates submitted by the ministers recently. Frank's question mark also means that he can marry this lady as his queen.But something even more unexpected happened to him. Queen Mother Sofia smiled: "No, you misunderstood me, my son. I didn't think of forcing you into marriage. In fact, your happiness should be up to you Decision. And I've been feeling bored lately, and if the timing is right, I don't want to be involved in boring politics all the time."

"..." Is this pie in the sky?Frank was completely knocked out, and became suspicious and alert.

"Nivea is a girl very similar to me, and I think... in the short term, only one of me in the palace is enough."

After the explanation that followed, Frank finally understood.

Queen Sofia is now the most honorable woman in the kingdom, and she's clearly happy with that.If there is a queen, then she becomes the second.As for government affairs... Sophia is also very open-minded, as long as she can guarantee her enjoyment as before, then she doesn't care whether she participates in political decision-making.She didn't even bother to help her family strive for a higher status - I heard that the Queen Mother had a rift with the family in the early years, and it seemed that she had a sweetheart before she married King Hill VI.Later, the conflict gradually eased, but a few years ago, for some unknown reason, the Queen Mother had another big fight with her family.

"I wish you good health and happiness forever, my mother." In the carriage, Frank knelt down and kissed the back of the Queen Mother's hand.

On a carriage, Frank has a heavyweight ally.This also made his plan more smooth, but from another perspective, Sophia not only guaranteed the enjoyment of the rest of his life, but also saved his own life.

Frank was different from that face-conscious uncle. He knew that he would die if he didn't regain power, but he also knew that it would be difficult to suppress Prince Zoe with political means.After all, he is only a young king who has been on the throne for three years, and his prestige cannot be compared with that of Prince Zoe.The result of playing political means will only be to waste all the hidden cards that he has accumulated with great difficulty.So he has only one way left - to kill!Eliminate Prince Zoe physically!As for fame?From the day he first saw his mother rolling in bed with a strange man, Frank didn't think fame was useful.

Moreover, he knows that there is no perfect plan in this world, and it is impossible for a prudent person to fully consider all the variables of the matter.So, the killing started on the night they came back!Win, rule the world!Defeat is just death.He can afford to gamble, and even more afford to lose...

"My uncle, there is no need to resist." This is the audience hall called the Morning Light Hall. It is not big, and it is not even as luxurious as a hunting tent. There are obvious stains on the back of the torch, because this place did not meet Prince Zoe's aesthetics even when it was still intact, so it has not been used for three years.This time, the king and prince were welcomed here again, just because the prince was in a panic.

Frank's sudden attack seriously injured Prince Zoe's abdomen, and most of the things that followed surprised him. It can be said that the magic amulet on the prince's body alleviated his injuries, and his bodyguards , is an extremely rare magic warrior.The magic warrior not only rescued the prince in his hands, but even kidnapped Frank in full view.So now the people outside are throwing tricks at the mouse, just trapping them.

"Your Highness, we should kill him! We still have a chance!" The loyal magician advised Prince Zoe.

"No, death is the only way left for us." It would be different if he was rumored to kill his nephew after he gained power, and now he really killed his nephew in front of so many people.At least Zoe thinks so, just like Sophia said this morning, he is too lacking in courage.According to Mangtan's law, the king was assassinated, and the guards who guarded him were capital crimes.He killed Frank, and the only thing left for those people was a capital crime. He felt that it was likely to force them into a desperate fight that would hurt both of them.In other words, Zooey didn't even have the idea of ​​trying to convince those people.

But it cannot be said that he has not considered killing Frank, but his thinking is different from that of the magic warrior.

What he thought was that Frank died, and he died too, so his son would be the next to ascend the throne.But as soon as this tempting thought arose, it was extinguished by himself.His eldest son is only 11 years old, and Frank himself will know what will happen to the young king when he ascends the throne.

"Thank you for your loyalty to me. Let's run." Zooey patted the guard's shoulder and stood up while covering her abdomen. "Can my wife and son survive?"

"Yes." Frank agreed very simply and honestly, "It's just that your family's wealth will shrink greatly."

Zooey smiled: "I have always hated my father and envied my elder brother, but now I suddenly found that my father was also wise until the last moment of his life, and I can't be a monarch. Chika and the messenger of Kados Although I am here to ask for trouble, it is also an excellent opportunity to take advantage of it. Some veterans are too old, so there is no need to worry about turmoil in the country. Use my death to kill everyone who dislikes you. Sophia is a covetous A woman who enjoys pleasure and does not have much vision, but it does not mean that she can be indulged, otherwise she may be in trouble. Also, I mishandled the matter of your magician teacher. If I see him He apologizes. Farewell, my nephew. I wish you a great monarch."

A sword cut her own neck neatly, and Zooey fell down with a calm expression.The magic warrior who was ordered to leave caught his master and folded his hands on his chest.By the time Frank came over, he had already fallen face down beside Zooey.After the guards from outside rushed in, they pulled the magic warrior away and found a dagger stabbed in his heart.

"Don't delay!" When the guards were about to drag away the two corpses, Frank suddenly stopped them loudly, "There are assassins entering the palace to assassinate, and His Royal Highness was killed at this moment to protect my safety. Let the maid clean it up The remains of His Royal Highness, and, please inform the princess..."

The guards looked at each other and saluted the king at the same time: "Yes, Your Majesty."

When Frank left the audience room, he took a last look at Prince Zoe's body—it was a strange thing. At the last moment of this person's death, he actually saw family affection from him. So good?

Obviously something happened in the palace, even the reckless and martial people knew that the most important thing to do at this time was to stay at home honestly, Zhou Lingke and Xia En were no exception.No matter how strong the force is, if you rush to an unfamiliar place when you don't know the situation at all, it is causing trouble and courting death.

"If the king died, would you leave here?" Xia En couldn't help asking Zhou Lingke.

"will not."

"Your expression doesn't tell me so, don't take me into consideration, tell the truth."

"..."

"Actually, it's not bad for us to go to a foreign country to quickly seal the land, but I still hope that your students can win..."
