Chapter 456(1/3)
In the dead silence, Thales quietly looked at the helpless guard on the ground who had no place to stay.
Look at this group of men who are in despair and about to fall apart.
I have many thoughts.
"Why."
Little Barney collapsed on his knees, stiff and lifeless.
"Father?"
He looked at Naki blankly, as if looking at a stranger:
"Why?"
"Why did he do this to me?"
Except for Naki, almost everyone turned away, except for Belletti and Nai, who were also stunned and speechless.
"You really don't know?"
Naji asked back, sneered and said sarcastically:
"So you live like a child in Fuxing Palace, knowing nothing and not caring about anything, and just want to be a loyal and stupid chess piece?"
No one spoke.
Only Quick Rope whispered in Thales's ear: "The situation is not good... I think they have all forgotten about escaping and looking for a way out..."
Thales shook his head with a deep expression, thoughtfully:
"It's not that they forgot to escape, they just... don't care anymore."
Kuai Sheng was stunned:
"What about us?"
But Thales still just shook his head seriously and ignored him.
Quick rope, who was so anxious that he looked forward and backward, scratched his head and scratched his head.
"Why, father."
But Barney is still as expressionless as a puppet, as if talking to the air:
"Why did he do this?"
Naki looked at Barney hatefully and snorted.
Samir looked at Little Barney with a heavy expression and lightly clenched his fists.
"You are really an anomaly, Barney," Naki looked at the collapsed little Barney, his face showed relief after revenge, but his voice was still sad:
"You are a noble being who is born into a noble family but has abandoned your family and bloodline like a pair of shoes, Quill Barney."
"But in fact, if it weren't for him, if you weren't from the Barney family, one of the Seven Shining Stars, you wouldn't even have the chance to join the Guard."
Naji said coldly:
"Like all of us."
A noble being who abandons his family and bloodline like a broken shoe...
Little Barney's lips trembled.
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Belletti and Nye, the dejected Tardin and Bree, and even the trembling Cannon, all lowered their heads.
Only Samir was still staring at Naki motionlessly.
But Thales felt something, and he subconsciously took a step forward.
"Why?"
The young man's sudden words attracted everyone's attention:
"If you don't want to tell him, then tell me."
"Tell Canxing about the last bloodline."
Thales's words floated in the dungeon, even the fast rope was startled.
This sentence made Naji stunned for a moment. He looked at him steadily as if he was getting to know the young man in front of him again.
As if trying to recognize something from the other person's solemn face.
"Hey, these madmen are enough to cause a headache," Quick Rope pressed Thales' shoulders and whispered anxiously: "We should focus on finding a way out now..."
"What else do you want to do?"
But Thales just took a breath and firmly grasped the hand of the fast rope:
"Like you said, looking for our way out."
Kuaisheng was stunned.
Thales looked at Naki again, his eyes turning around the key in his hand.
"Tell me, why did Barney's father and you, and even Sak'el, do that?"
Thales frowned:
"In other words, what else did the then-King of Permanence, Eddie II, do besides the so-called Three-Disaster Alliance as Sak'el said?"
Naji's eyes gradually became confused.
Little Barney raised his head blankly, but just repeated that sentence:
"Why, father."
Naji looked at everyone in a daze, only to find that many people had looked away, except Samir, who was staring closely at him.
Finally, he figured it out and chuckled in relief:
"You are right, Your Highness. The tragedy of that year was far more than the struggle between Your Majesty and the traitors, more than the game of loyalty and betrayal, more than the hostility between the stars and the world."
"Whether it is a natural disaster or a rebellion, of course there is a reason for the chaos in the kingdom."
Thales's brows became more and more serious.
"The Punishment Knight thought that the late king was deceived by some legendary monster, and that some people were plotting to bring trouble to the kingdom, but that was all his wishful thinking."
Naji returned to a state of indifference, as if seeing the past:
"Because Sak'el is just an antique surname that has been in decline for a thousand years and does not even have a castle or fief, so he is too naive and cannot feel it."
"Our despair is not felt."
When he said this, Naji trembled all over.
Taldin on the other side sighed softly.
Thales's heart moved:
"despair?"
Naji took a breath, recalled the most miserable years again, and smiled sadly:
"Back then, there were countless rumors circulating in the Fuxing Palace. Not everyone knew about the taboos between the late king and the disaster, but there was one thing that everyone knew very well."
Many people's breathing becomes disordered.
Little Barney, who was kneeling on his knees, slowly focused his eyes.
"What is that?" Thales listened solemnly.
Naji turned his head and said in a daze:
"In those years, His Majesty wanted to make a difference: he issued many orders."
Make a difference.
Many commands.
Thales' heart tightened.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered Old Crow's class.
"So we...whether it is the "Seven Shining Stars" who are directly affiliated to the royal family like Belletti, Tardin, and Barney, who have emerged from the era of the virtuous king for a hundred years, or the so-called Imperial Thirteen such as Tarun, Karabiyan, etc.
We have seen and experienced all the famous families, including the founding six wealthy families like Allende and Teback."
Little Barney recovered from the blow and looked at Naki blankly.
Naji glanced at each of the guard brothers and said quietly:
"With every move His Majesty makes..."
"The days are becoming more and more difficult, the future becomes more and more hopeless, and our future as nobles becomes even more bleak."
Thales was surprised.
Taldin's face changed slightly and he stopped talking.
But before he could say anything, Thales, who had already had a premonition, hurriedly urged:
To be continued...
