First prince, pick up your integrity

In Beria's memory, the former Ludwig was soft and soft.In fact, in Crown Prince Conrad's impression, Otto's three princes were all soft, but the meaning of "soft" was completely different.Ludwig is a soft soft, while the other two are fat soft.

Beria was six years old when he first visited Otto with Caesar, Ludwig was six, Vincent and Angus were five and three respectively.

At that time, Caesar and Andre seemed to have made an agreement, and unanimously threw Beria to Vincent and Angus, hoping to improve the relationship between the three emperors.But things backfired. Ellie took the two little princes to deliberately curry favor with Crown Prince Conrad, which made Beria feel that they were just like his father's ministers. The ones who want to trample them under their feet are not friends at all but a group of lowly people.

Moreover, the childish behavior of Vincent and Angus at that time really made Beria unbearable.Although both Vincent and Angus grew up to be tall and straight teenagers, Beria never forgot their "round and smooth" body shape and the deeds of snot, saliva, and tears when they were young.As a result, every time Beria saw the two of them, he would reflexively think of the two sticky words "fat" and "snot". Of course, the two derogatory words "artificial" and "crying" are also indispensable. of.

Facing Andre's two favorite sons, Beria, who was seven years old at the time, really couldn't like them.Even though Caesar told him to get along well with the two princes, Belia couldn't even pretend to be so instinctively disgusted. After his father left, he immediately threw away the two meat buns and ran away.

So the young crown prince Conrad, who was white and tender back then, found the eldest prince Otto, who was as white and tender as his age.

The moment I saw it for the first time, Ludwig was grasping the sword left by his mother and trying hard to do the basic movements of swinging, chopping, and stabbing.Compared with the slender and delicate sword, Ludwig's arms looked short and small.

Although the teacher asked him to start practicing with the wooden sword like other children, Ludwig stubbornly grabbed his mother's relic and refused to change it.Although the teacher couldn't stand it, he went to the foundry to forge an imitation wooden sword with the same color and shape, but Ludwig still held on to the sword in his hand and said nothing.Even Andre didn't listen to his kind persuasion once in a while.

Even Beria, who was exposed to swordsmanship half a year earlier than Ludwig, used a fake sword that looked like steel but was actually made of wood.So Beria, who caught a glimpse of Ludwig's series of irregular skills, couldn't help but ran to Ludwig to show off his skills, pointing fingers at little Ludwig's movements.

"Your posture is wrong. Arms are not straight!"

"You have to keep your waist straight, swing the sword with the strength of your arms and waist, not your wrist!"

"Oh! You are so stupid! You can't do something so simple!"

After telling all the words that the teacher criticized him on weekdays, Beria felt relieved.Ludwig was furious, dropped his sword, opened his pink lips and yelled at Beria, "Come if you have the ability!"

Grandma's roar didn't have the slightest momentum to speak of, and Beria ran confidently to demonstrate to Ludwig in this roar, but when the excellent crown prince just grabbed the sword that fell on the ground hour……

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instantly felt embarrassing, how could this sword be so heavy!It takes a lot of effort to hold it with two hands, let alone swing it.

"Hmph! He's just a braggart!" Making a face at Beria, Ludwig snatched back his sword and dragged it away.In his mouth, he deliberately muttered in a voice that Beria could hear, "No wonder everyone doesn't let me play with you. It turns out that you are a guy who likes to talk big."

ORZ...Unprecedented frustration made Beria remember the name Ludwig.That night, he quickly learned a magic that can increase his strength, intending to avenge his shame.From that day on, Beria and Ludwig started a healthy competition for more than ten days.

Until the day before Caesar and his son were about to leave for Conrad, the two little groups who had already fought and become friends lay down on the sofa together and began to plan another thing that could further enhance their friendship.

"You guys are so boring here, there's nothing interesting here." Beria dangled his feet under the sofa and shook them.

"Huh, is there any? It's okay." Even though he was very tired, Ludwig sat still.

"It's so boring, adults are watching everywhere. Let's sneak out and play!" Although Caesar wanted to educate Beria into a generation of heroes, no matter how domineering and sloppy a hero, he always had such a scumbag and mischievous attitude when he was young. Year.

After finally leaving Conrad, Beria would not be reconciled to his life just changing from one palace to another.So going out of the palace, an escape project intended to develop abilities, has become the focus of Beria's must-do and try this time.And Ludwig is the best partner he has chosen.

Although Ludwig couldn't speak well, he still couldn't resist the attraction of the colorful world that Beria spoke of.He led Beria into the secret passage in his bedroom that should not be known to outsiders, leading all the way to the outside of the palace.

In that dark and damp secret passage, Ludwig was clearly terrified, but he still grabbed Beria's hand and confessed, "You must hold my hand tightly, and you must never let go."

Every time Beria recalled Ludwig's expression at that time, he would find it very interesting.He was very serious and careful, and he didn't seem to be giving instructions at all. On the contrary, the trembling voice with a slightly commanding tone always reminded Beria of two words - Tsundere!

Ludwig had a natural arrogance when he was a child, which is the inherent pride of the royal family.Beria always felt that Ludwig at that time was very natural and comfortable to get along with, but for a long time after that, the sharpness in Ludwig's eyes gradually became apparent in Andre's eccentricity and sword skills. A little bit of self-disappointment is worn down and consumed.

Over time, when Beria saw Ludwig again, he could only be disappointed again and again. The person he thought could keep pace with him and stand at the same height had been left behind a long time ago. In the past, he can only rely on occasional memories to remember the summer of that year. There is another prince in this world who dares to roll his eyes without fear of death when his father scolds him furiously. Great reason is dismissive.

Only this time, when Beria planned to marry Ludwig back to Conrad, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his Louis seemed to have become the most original appearance in his memory, and this transformation seemed to be what he had been looking forward to all along. with.

"I've grabbed your hand, and I will never let go!" After recalling the past, Beria showed an evil smile to Ludwig who was bound by him in front of him.

But the power of this sentence was beyond Beria's imagination.Ludwig also remembered this sentence, but in his memory, the person who said this sentence was not him, but Beria.

Back then when Ludwig was in deep despair, Beria pulled him out of the abyss by saying similar words, and then sent him step by step into another vortex where life was worse than death.

He still remembers that when he climbed out of the mine that day, Beria appeared in front of him on a horse against the light, and when he pulled Ludwig on the horse and galloped wildly, Beria once said, "You want Hold me tight and never let go this time."

Ludwig clearly remembered his beating heartbeat at that moment, he clearly remembered the rebirth and excitement he felt at that moment, but the facts later told Ludwig that at that moment Beria brought him It is neither happiness nor hope, but long-planned use, and after use, it is discarded.

So of course when he heard similar words from Beria again, Ludwig felt that the blood all over his body was burning violently after freezing for an instant.

What a shame, Beria!Ludwig's eyes were instantly full of murderous intent, and his eyes flicked across his left hand tied to the armrest.There are several weapons in his ring now, as long as he can take out one and poke Beria at random... Huh, but it is best to bite Beria hard with a skull.

Beria raised his head in response, Ludwig's expression made him feel a little weird, how could it be such a look.If you just hate being tied up and gagged, this look is too sinister.

Beria was surprised for a moment and thought about whether to take the thing out of Ludwig's mouth first, but he still didn't do anything, just touched Ludwig's face and squeezed it hard, and then slowly Pull the topic back to the original matter.

"Okay, I'm going to say this here just as a joke. Afterwards, I thought about it carefully. Although you told me before that you have no interest in the throne, there is no prince who would not covet the throne, let alone you were born by a queen. The eldest son of the emperor, the biggest reason why you don't want to marry me is the only one I think about. You want to inherit the throne yourself. But Ludwig, don't you think that you are too low to be a god by yourself? Do you want to know Princess Ellie and Vincent..."

Beria gave a detailed account of Ellie and Vincent's power distribution in the ruling and opposition parties, as well as the resources they can control, far more than Ludwig knew, but Luther Vichy is no longer interested in knowing.Compared to these, he would rather study how to kill Beria.

"Compared with Vincent, your chances of winning are very low, so I think you should marry me with Conrad's help..." Beria used his usual method, throwing an olive branch to lure others to cooperate with him .But this time, before he could finish speaking, an interrupting voice came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, Princess Sanya paid a sudden visit."

"..." Ever since Beria asked Teton to arrest people, he expected that Dross would send someone to ask him why he led people to arrest the residents of Dross, but Beria did not expect this to happen. Quick, and it will be Sonya herself.

Beria shook his head impatiently. The herbalist who didn't look as good as the one who delivered the medicine in the past few days was pleasing to the eye. Where did Sanya get the courage to stalk him?Beria had to admire the perseverance of the three princesses of Dros.

Gently put a kiss on Ludwig's forehead, "I'll go out and deal with it first, you wait here obediently for me."

good?Dream it!As soon as Beria left, Ludwig immediately began to struggle, but the rope on his body was tied too tightly, and Ludwig did not show any signs of loosening after moving for a long time.After spending a long time, the eldest prince stared angrily at the space ring on his left hand. He didn't ask for much, as long as he could move his left hand, he could take out a dagger and cut the rope.

As long as he can move his left hand... Ludwig seemed to be dazed, mobilizing the fire element in the air, trying to burn the rope.The temperature accumulated on the rope was getting higher and higher, and the part of the skin that was attached to the hemp rope was hot red, but the rope that bound him did not show any signs of burning.

Because of Beria's relationship, Ludwig is the least good at fire magic. It is not easy to heat the hemp rope with this ability alone, but it is far from enough to burn the rope completely.

The fire system is not good, Ludwig started to try his best wind magic, although there are not many wind magic attack spells, but it is better than nothing, this time the magic chosen by Ludwig is level [-] The wind cutting blade can be regarded as the one with the most powerful attack power among the middle and low-level magic of the wind system. If the operation is not accurate enough, it is very likely that Ludwig's entire hand will be chopped off.

After considering these factors, Ludwig lowered the content of the magic wind element, and mixed in a little bit of fire element as a substitute.For the first time, the position swept by the wind cutting blade was about five centimeters above the rope, and Ludwig felt a gust of hot wind hang from his palm, causing a burst of intense burning on the back of the hand that had been burned by the fire element just now. pain.

Gritting his teeth and panting for a while, Ludwig started to try again, this time the position of the wind cutter was lowered a bit, and the proportion of wind and fire elements was also re-adjusted.

The wind blade quickly swept across the back of Ludwig's hand, half of the hemp rope was broken, and several purple electric currents rushed through the gap, making a "sizzling" sound.Ludwig noticed the tiny electric current, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and eagerly started the third attempt.

The position of the wind blade was lowered again, not only the hemp rope was cut, but also a long cut was made on the back of Ludwig's hand, and blood gushed out from the wound quickly.Looking at this scene, the corners of Ludwig's mouth suddenly opened evilly. His arm was not only the burning sensation of burns and the pain of the flesh being torn, but also a feeling of numbness and throbbing pain after being shocked by the electric shock. It spread along the bone all the way to his arm.

thunder!

Because he once guessed that the wind element might really be catalyzed or evolved, Ludwig was not too surprised by the emergence of the thunder attribute at this moment, but was more than expected.Sure enough, it is so!

After gradually regaining consciousness in his left hand, Ludwig quickly took out a dagger from the space ring and cut the rope. After treating the wound on his hand hastily with water magic, he immediately hid behind the door.This time Duke was not around, and no one could stop him from stabbing the blade into Beria's body.

The ears were pressed tightly to the back of the door. After a long time, footsteps came from outside the door, and the sound was getting closer. Ludwig opened a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth and then held his breath.

The moment the door was pushed open, he raised the dagger in his hand high, ready to assassinate.

But the person who walked into the room was not Beria, but...

"It's you?"
