Ah? Thales was startled.

Hold the whole Exeter in your hands...

"No, no, no, it's not Charmaine Lombard, it's not him, I mean the other one," Thales came back to his senses and shook his head vigorously, "The other king, the one before him, do you remember it? A little reminder, the name starts with

N open”

"We used to ride horses and hunt in the hunting forest," the king interrupted him. His words were obviously ordinary, but his tone seemed to be unquestionable. "If it gets too late, just don't go back to the city at all and come directly to Star Lake Castle and King John."

I’ll spend the night here uncle.”

King Kessel still turned his back to him, looking out the window at the Star Lake.

"But at that time, I never realized that the sunset on Star Lake was so charming."

The setting sun falls on the lake water, shining with countless golden waves.

"And John was always kind, warm, generous and hospitable. He often chatted with us at the dinner table until he was drunk and unconscious."

John.

Thales thought of the former owner of Star Lake Castle and nodded: "Sounds like a wonderful man."

The king hummed softly, without distinguishing between praise and blame:

"He, he can always make people forget about the bloody cruelty in hunting or other things."

While they were talking, the sound of Sonia's drunken singing could be heard faintly outside the door.

But the strange thing is that this song has a sad sound, a dark tune, and a long melody.

A complete reversal of the performance of Fortress Flower today.

Thales was silent.

"Funeral Song."

The king listened for a while and suddenly said, "This is the version of the Star Legion. In those years, John and the others were not strong enough. They needed to move quickly to fight the rebels and could not stay in one place for too long. Therefore, the remains of many soldiers could not

Pretend to be buried.”

"When mourning his comrades, John had to change the words 'coffin' and 'tombstone' in the funeral song to avoid hurting the soldiers' feelings."

The sun is fading, and the colors in the lounge are slowly getting colder.

Thales took a deep breath and finally couldn't help but speak:

"What are you going to do?"

"Emerald City."

Before he could finish speaking, King Kessel spat out the word.

Thales frowned.

Emerald City.

"You mean, the capital of Nan'an Territory, the city of Li Jing, the capital of wealth, the land of dreams, the Emerald City known as the 'Queen of the City' by the stars?"

The king looked at the Nether Star Lake:

"That's your next destination."

Thales was silent for a while:

"for what?"

"destroy."

destroy.

Thales raised his eyes.

At that moment, he felt that the bone ring in his pocket was heavy.

That is the "covenant", it seems to be urging and reminding.

On warning.

In front of the window, King Kessel slowly turned around, his cold eyes shining into the room, driving away the warmth of the setting sun.

"My son," the High King's tone was very calm, very ordinary, without any fluctuation, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "you must fulfill your promise and swing your first sword."

Thales remained motionless.

"To the Emerald City."

The funeral songs in the distance remain the same, lonely and desolate.

"Depose the Lord Protector of the South Bank."

The Duke's lounge grew darker and darker.

"Destroy Jann Kelvindir."

Thales was in a daze for a moment.

Depose the Duke.

Destroy Zhan.

The tit-for-tat confrontation at the royal banquet resurfaced before his eyes.

【Better to be friends than to die as enemies.】

Thales took a deep breath.

[This is a warning... I want you to know, Thales, I want to teach you: this is my response, as a response to you offending me, rejecting me, and even threatening me six years later. 】

"Ha ha……"

[If you choose war, Thales, and are determined to be my enemy, then this move is just the beginning.]

Thales pressed his hands on the table, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

[When it comes time to break up, even if I sacrifice everything, I can still make you pay the heaviest price.]

The next second, Duke Xinghu couldn't hold it back any longer, and he laughed wildly.

"Hahahahaha..."

Thales laughed very hard and loudly.

But all that was missing was the smile.

The king glanced at him:

"how?"

Jenn.

Kevin Deere.

Duke of Iris?

Deposed.

destroy?

Thales stopped laughing, took a deep breath, and came to the window.

"It's nothing, I just, I just remembered a saying from the Northlanders."

He and the king passed each other: the iron-fisted king looked at the darkness in the room, while he felt the coldness outside the window.

King Kessel did not comment, but looked at him quietly.

"The tides are turning."

Thales suppressed his smile and remained expressionless:

"Karma is a bitch."

I don’t know since when, the sun has set.

He did not see the wonder of the Star Lake at sunset. Instead, he saw countless stars reflected in the Star Lake.
