Emperor Fire

Chapter 114 The Battle for the Throne

Shiro let go of his hand.

Mrs. Rachel bent over, coughing continuously.

"Ma'am." Keene came out of the darkness.His hands were on the hilt of his sword, his eyes guarded.

Mrs. Rachel pressed against the wall with one hand, touched her throat with the other, and slowly raised her head, with a smile still on her lips, "It's okay. Your Highness is just impulsive."

Ciro's face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of frost, and his voice was cold and hard, "What is your purpose of telling me so much?"

Mrs. Rachel straightened up slowly, leaning her back against the wall, looked up at him and said, "I hope you can help me save someone."

Shiro stared at her mockingly.

"Of course, I will pay accordingly." She nodded to Kean, and then said, "I know that all the chips in your hand come from your mother, once she takes it back, you will have nothing. So, I will give you all the chips in my hand to help you win this battle!"

Shiro narrowed his eyes.For so many years, King Castaron II has always regarded this woman in front of him as his confidant, and worked hard to cultivate her power.So she does hold a considerable part of the chips in her hands.But if he accepted it, it would be tantamount to agreeing with her words, agreeing that his mother stood on the opposite side of him.

"You must be wondering why I handed it to you instead of Hall." Mrs. Rachel smiled, "You know as well as I do that even if Hall is ten times smarter, he will definitely not be your mother's match. "

Vincent said suddenly, "Why don't you do it yourself?"

Mrs. Rachel said: "As I said, I made a deal with her, so she has something I can't resist."

Vincent said: "Use your soul?"

"Use my faith." Mrs. Rachel's eyes were flickering with an extremely fanatical emotion, which seemed to overwhelm all her perceptions, and she had to pause for a long while before continuing, "Your mother won't Let me go. After the death of King Castaron II, I will be her next target."

Vincent seemed to know that Ciro was no longer willing to speak again, so he asked for him: "Is the person you want to save Hall?"

"No." Mrs. Rachel whispered, "His life and death will be arranged by fate."

Vincent was also surprised by this.

Logically speaking, apart from King Castaron II, Hall should be her closest person in this world.He couldn't think of anyone who could hold more weight than Hall in Mrs. Rachel's heart.

Mrs. Rachel said: "That person is being imprisoned by the queen. I don't know where he is being imprisoned, but I know that he is still alive."

Shi Luo said coldly: "Who is it?"

Mrs. Rachel hesitated and said: "You will understand when you see him. He has a very strong perception of fire elements, and the fire elements will be very restless around him. It is also very good for you to save him. He Will help you defeat Samantha." She took out a necklace from her bosom, and the pendant of the necklace was a dark red crystal, as bright as a drop of blood.She handed the necklace to Ciro, "This is a token. He will understand when he sees it."

Ciro stood there, motionless, without any intention of reaching out to pick it up.

Vincent raised his eyebrows and said, "There are many such magicians in Dreamland."

Mrs. Rachel did not withdraw her hand, but said in a proud tone that could not be concealed: "He is different, he is stronger than anyone else!"

Vincent said: "Anyone?"

"Anyone." Mrs. Rachel said firmly.

Vincent smiled and said, "I'm starting to be interested."

Ciro said: "I refuse."

Mrs. Rachel lowered her head, first sneered, and then laughed lightly.

Her laughter was nice, but in such a dark corridor, it was somewhat weird.

Shiro ignored her and turned away.

"Whether you agree or not, I will give you everything I have." Mrs. Rachel said slowly behind him, "You can slowly consider whether to abide by this agreement. But you must remember that if you want to defeat your Mother, you must ask for his help." She threw the necklace and landed on Shi Luo's toes.

Shiro stepped over without looking.

Keene looked at Mrs. Rachel.

Mrs. Rachel smiled and nodded at him.

Keane's eyes dimmed, but he quickly turned his head to pick up the necklace, and chased in Shiro's direction.

Vincent turned his head to look at Mrs. Rachel, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, "The person you are talking about is..." He mouthed three words slowly.

Mrs. Rachel's face suddenly changed.

This was the first time she changed her face on her own initiative this evening.

Vincent smiled and said, "Thank you for your answer."

Ciro walked to the door of the office, and his steps gradually slowed down.

The door was open, and occasionally the sound of flipping books could be heard from inside, making the silence even more silent.

Shiro walked in slowly.Suo Suo was sitting on the sofa, holding his eyelids with both hands, his golden bangs were drooping, and he blew them up again with his mouth.In an instant, Xi Luo felt that the strength supporting him all the way was suddenly taken away, and his whole body was empty, like a small boat trapped in a boundless sea, confused, helpless, and unable to find his way.

Gallon, who was being ignored, suddenly moved to the door and looked coldly at Kean standing in the corridor.

Keane was still clutching the necklace.Sensing Galen's hostility, he took two steps back and forced a friendly smile, "We will be comrades-in-arms from now on."

Gal frowned.

Vincent came over, "His bad news is true."

Gallon frowned even tighter, turned to look at Ciro, and found that he had already walked in front of Soso.

The shadow on the book made Suo Suo look up from the book, and the hazy drowsiness was scattered by the crowd in front of him.He closed the book and was about to say something when he saw Shiro squatting down and burying his head between his legs.

Suo Suo was startled, afraid that the book cover would scratch his face, he quickly put the book back into the space bag, "Xi Luo?" He raised his hand, hesitated for a long time before gently placing it on his head, one by one Combing his hair, this is the way his mother used to comfort him when she was alive.He didn't know what happened, but he could feel that Ciro needed him, needed him very much.

Shiro suddenly covered his face with his hands, and slowly raised his head.

Sosuo moved his hand from his hair to his shoulder, bowed his head and kissed his forehead, "everything will be fine."

Ciro put down his hands and clenched fists on both sides of Soso's body. His eyes were slightly red, and he showed a smile that wasn't a smile, "Well. Let's go back." He stood up and pulled Soso up as well.

Soso held his palm, feeling wet for a while.

Xi Luo quickly withdrew his hand, hid it in his trouser pocket, turned and walked out.

Galen and Keane were still confronting each other, and when they saw them coming out, they hurriedly stepped aside.Gal deliberately stood in front of Keane.

Keane said: "It's very convenient for me to attack you like this."

Gallon said without looking back, "You won't have such a chance."

Vincent said, "I should go back too."

Ciro suddenly realized that he felt a slight reluctance for Vincent in his heart.Perhaps at this time, there are fewer and fewer people who can stand firmly by his side.However, he did not show this reluctance, but nodded casually.

When the two approached and almost rubbed shoulders, Vincent suddenly asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

Ciro paused slightly, then continued to walk forward, "I want to wait for Aunt Olivia to come back first."

"You trust her?" Vincent said casually.

Ciro turned his head abruptly, "Do you think I shouldn't believe it?"

Vincent looked at him as if he was looking at a lion cub who was clearly injured but unwilling to lick his wounds in front of everyone.He laughed suddenly, "No. I just want to say that I believe her too."

It was early morning when we got back to the villa.

The butler came out of the bed, but he was neatly dressed.When he saw Ciro appearing with Soso in his arms, he was neither ecstatic nor shocked, but just greeted them in the same tone as usual, as if they had never disappeared before, and it was not the early morning.

"Your Highness, do you need to prepare supper for you and Your Highness Suosuo?" the butler asked.

"No, no need." Shiro walked up.

Gallon and Keene followed behind him.

Suddenly, Ciro stopped in his tracks, and his unfathomable gaze slowly slid across the faces of Kean and Galen, "Gallon."

"Yes." Gallon took a step forward.

"Go to sleep." Ciro said, "Let Keane stay outside."

Gallon's body froze, looking at Shiro with a little surprise in his pupils.

But Ciro had already turned around and walked upstairs.

Keane raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Gallon as he passed by.

Putting Soso lightly on the bed, Shiro's body instantly collapsed.It's a collapse from the inside out.

He lay on his side on the bed, propped his head on his hands, and fixed his eyes on Suo Suo's sleeping face. It seemed that only in this way could he calm down his heart.

Soso slept soundly.The use of the forbidden spell had exhausted his mental power. He was able to suppress the drowsiness before relying entirely on his willpower. Once the belief in supporting his willpower relaxed, he would be completely captured by the God of Sleep.

Shiro's fingers slowly stroked his face, gently depicting his facial features.The childishness of St. Padres when he first met is slowly receding, and Soso's outline is becoming more and more three-dimensional. At first glance, he looks somewhat similar to Dilling, but is softer.

Suo Suo felt a little itchy, couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch it, leaned his head in his direction unconsciously, and whispered: "Xi Luo."

"Huh?" Shiro turned his ear to the side, only to find that he hadn't moved again.

He stared blankly at that innocent face for a while, then lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, and said in a very soft voice, "What should I do? I can't find anyone I can trust except you."

It was only now that he discovered that Galen, the housekeeper... They were all Queen Samantha's people, and even Olivia was Queen Samantha's best friend, not his.Everything he owns, including the crown prince title, comes from her and Kasdaron II.Without it all, he has nothing.

Suo Suo continued to sleep soundly without realizing it, as if he trusted the people next to him with all his heart, and was not afraid even if the sky fell.

Ciro watched and watched, finally sighed, and lay down with his arms around the people around him.

Fortunately, Soso is not.

Fortunately, he still has one person he can trust.

Fortunately, he was not alone on such a difficult night.
