Emperor Fire

His smile was particularly piercing.

Ciro felt that beyond what he knew, an invisible net was slowly closing.He hated the feeling that things were going in a direction he couldn't have predicted.The familiar face of his mother in his memory gradually blurred, and the situation he thought was in his hands began to get out of control...

King Castaron II, Lady Rachel...

He suddenly felt that they were all so strange, as if he had been wandering outside their world.All the previous encounters seemed to be trivial farces.In front of them, he was still a child, still not grown up, still powerless to fight back.

He has never jumped on their stage.

……

"Xiro." Suo Suo hugged him suddenly, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."

Shiro regained his senses.

Both Gallon and Vincent are watching him.A composure, a banter, as always.He seems to have found a little strength to keep him going.At least some things are still within his known, and have not changed.

"I want to go to the palace." Ciro restrained his emotions and said to Vincent, "Let no one find out."

Vincent said: "If it doesn't include me, no problem."

Suo Suo said worriedly, "I'll go with you."

Ciro lowered his head, tried his best to smile and said, "I want to do this alone."

Wen Sen hugged his chest and said: "As far as we know, no one in the entire empire has been able to hurt your Royal Highness the Crown Prince from under my nose."

Suo Suo was not at all embarrassed, and followed his words: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Wen Sen smiled and said, "If I took the opportunity to ask you to worship me as your teacher, wouldn't it be too much of a risk?"

Sosuo said seriously: "Yes."

Vincent: "..."

"I didn't expect you to draw a teleportation magic circle in the palace." Shi Luo said calmly.

Wen Sen said: "For a while, His Majesty the Emperor summoned me every day. In order to save time on the road, I had to make such an arrangement. Do you understand?"

Ciro said: "I can understand your motivation, but I can't understand that you didn't share it with me."

Vincent smiled and said, "Be careful next time."

This is a warehouse in the corner of the palace, a long way from the emperor's bedroom and study.

Wen Sen opened the door, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "The entire imperial capital, this is probably the only place that is not affected by martial law."

The two walked along the corridor towards the study.

According to Shiro's understanding of Castaron II, he is usually in the study at this time.Although his political achievements are not very good, no one can deny his diligence.Even in the most erosive period of his private life, he still never let go of his attention to the political affairs of the empire.

There are many guard posts on the way to the study, but Vincent's wind magic has reached the point where the breeze blows his face without hiding, so with his assistance, Ciro quickly came to the door of Castalon II's study.

Strangely, the guard who had been stationed by the door all year round was gone.

The door is slightly open, and a corner of the bookcase can be seen.

Vincent whispered, "It looks like an invitation."

This shows that he didn't feel any master hidden inside.Shi Luo nodded, walked out from the corner, and walked towards the study.

Wen Sen said suddenly: "There is an aura of light magic in the study, be careful. If anything happens, remember to call for help. I will arrive as soon as possible, I promised Soso."

Xi Luo said: "I don't know when you changed your name to help."

Wen Sen smiled and said, "I'll change it back when I'm in a better mood."

Shi Luo walked to the door, raised his hand, hesitated before knocking on the door, and then bent his fingers and knocked lightly.

"Come in." Castaron II said.

Ciro pushed open the door, and Castaron II was sitting behind the desk.He seemed to be in his twenties all of a sudden, he looked the same age as his uncle, the corners of his eyes drooped obviously, but he was in good spirits.At least when he saw Shiro come in, his expression was normal, he was neither particularly angry nor surprised, as calm as if they had already made an appointment.

"I know you will definitely come." He closed the book in front of him and put it aside.As soon as the barrier outside the castle was broken, he received the news, so he transferred the guard at the gate to wait for him.

Xi Luo pulled away the chair in front of him, sat down and said, "You owe me an apology."

Castdaron II raised his eyes, "I am your father, and I will never apologize to you."

Ciro said: "So you caused the situation in front of you."

"The situation in front of me is not caused by me alone!" Castaron II frowned, "There are many reasons for it. But one thing I have to say is that if I knew it would turn out like this, I wouldn't be with you at the beginning. Your mother is married."

An uncontrollable anger welled up in Shiro's chest instantly.He didn't expect that under such circumstances, his father, who was supposed to be the most responsible man in the empire, would say such irresponsible words.He said coldly: "That's your choice! No one has ever forced you."

King Castaron II sighed: "Yes. This is my choice. I thought that love could change everything, but in the end I found that before changing everything, love changed first."

Ciro said: "I thought you would have something more important to say to me."

Castaron II clasped his hands together, and said after a while, "Do you know your mother?"

Siro said: "I should know better than you."

Castaaron II said: "Maybe you are right, I have never known her. When I knew her, she was beautiful, noble, elegant, intelligent, calm...all the beautiful words in the world can be used for her body. I have seen all kinds of beauties growing up, but I have never seen her like this. I was immediately fascinated, and I started to pursue her, with all the romance I could think of and the ones I couldn't think of. way. I mobilized all the people I could mobilize to be my consultants and lobbyists. They helped me make suggestions day and night. In the end, I succeeded and she accepted me. At that time, I really thought I was the whole world The happiest person." He paused, with a bit of bitterness in his smile, "but fate always likes to make pain and happiness a pair. After I ascended the throne, when she became my queen, things quietly Changes have taken place. She is constantly seeking interests for the three major families, reasonable and unreasonable. I try to satisfy her as much as possible, but her appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Until one day, we quarreled and I couldn't stand it. The three big families keep appearing between me and her, between our families! Since then, our quarrel is like an erupting volcano, and it never stops!"

Shiro pursed his lips.

"I began to look for ways to retaliate and counterattack." Castaron II sighed and stood up.Immediately, he noticed that Xi Luo's eyes became alert following his movements, and he sat back slowly, "I won't set the same trap twice."

Ciro said with a cold face: "I never had good hopes for your IQ."

Castaron II snorted coldly: "If you are really so smart, why can't you see the dangers of the three major families to the empire?!"

"Because compared to you, my biological father, they treat me so well."

Castaron II's face froze, and his tone softened: "You and your brother have been close to your mother since childhood, and I can't get close to you."

Xi Luo said: "It's not that you can't get close, it's that you don't have time to get close. There are too many wives waiting for your luck, aren't they?"

Castaron II slapped the table with his palm and said angrily, "This is my father's advice! Believe it or not. Even if you sit on the throne, the three major families will still be your confidant's serious trouble!"

Siro said: "It's a pity that your previous actions made your words sound completely unreliable. From the current point of view, your words are more like a loser's final cry of unwillingness."

King Castaron II was trembling with anger, "Then why do you still come here? What kind of answer do you want to hear?! Can't you see that your noble mother carefully planned everything. She remotely controlled three The big family indirectly controls the empire remotely! Even if you sit on the throne of God, you will only be a puppet."

Siro said: "I am very different from you."

Kasdaron II glared at him.

"I am her biological child, you are not." After Xi Luo finished speaking, he stood up slowly.

Kasdaron II suddenly sneered and said, "Do you think I've lost? Don't forget, the reason why she was able to control the guards of the imperial capital was because of your disappearance, and now that you have appeared, Samantha has no trump card in her hand." gone."

Xi Luo said: "Yes. I can directly testify against you for persecuting me in court."

Castaron II said: "I just want you to stay awake in the castle for a while."

Xi Luo said: "What about before that? What about the forest? What about the assassination along the way? What about the poison on my body?"

Castaron II frowned and said, "What are you talking about? What forest? What assassination? What else is poison on you?"

Ciro looked down at his impeccably perfect and confused expression, and said with a smirk: "Are you going to deny everything?"

"I'm not responsible for what I didn't do!"

"Then, the castle is enough for you to be responsible." Ciro finished speaking slowly, and walked out without looking back.

"Come on!" King Castaron II suddenly shouted.

Ciro rushed to the door with wind magic, and saw Vincent grinning, engulfing the two of them with wind magic, and flew towards the warehouse where the teleportation array was hidden without looking back.

The peaceful palace suddenly boiled like a frying pan.

Ciro and Vincent returned to the Royal Academy of Magic through the magic circle.

Olivia hadn't come back yet, the lights in the office were dim, and the curtains were drawn down. If you didn't look carefully, you would definitely not see anyone in the dean's office.

Sosuo slept peacefully on the sofa, with his hands on his chest, covered with the small blanket he carried with him.Galen stood by and stood up immediately when he saw them coming in.

Ciro was about to say something when Vincent hissed suddenly, "Someone is here."

He showed this expression, indicating that the person who came was definitely not Olivia.
