"Beep——"
Thales heard that weird tinnitus again!
This time, Thales lowered his head in pain, his face distorted.
Compared with just now, the tinnitus this time is particularly loud, almost catching up with the magic sound of the supernatural assassin yesterday!
What exactly is this?
Thales endured the pain, but knew that he couldn't make a mistake at this time!
Everyone in the entire royal capital is witnessing this moment!
Li Xiya's glowing eyes looked at him doubtfully.
The light shines brighter!
It stung so much that everyone on the terrace raised their hands or turned their heads. Even the five Dukes standing closest could not see clearly or hear what was going on in the center.
Under the strong light, Thales gradually became unable to see clearly what was going on outside.
Amidst the painful tinnitus, Thales could barely see the figures of Li Xiya and Kessel.
He had already begun to grit his teeth and endure the torture of tinnitus.
The strange behavior of the time traveler was subsequently discovered.
Li Xiya's bright eyes shrank, and then she spoke in confusion:
"you?"
"How could you..."
what happened?
Thales felt inexplicably nervous.
At this moment, Thales clearly saw the strong figure of King Kessel suddenly turning his head in the light.
"Li Xiya..." The king spoke softly, and only Li Xiya and Thales who were closest could hear...
For some reason, Kessel V lost his usual majesty and indifference. This time, his tone turned out to be pleading and helpless!
"Please," the supreme king of the Kingdom of Stars begged in a low voice at this time:
"This is the future of the stars, and it is also Midir's long-cherished wish."
Li Xiya held their hands and trembled for some reason.
But then she turned her head and looked at the king:
Li Xiya asked in disbelief: "She...is she?"
But the king did not answer her.
The next second.
The light disappeared.
The tinnitus also disappeared.
Thales, whose ears were freed, breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath.
What the hell is going on here?
The ringing in the ears, the chief priest's doubts, the king's pleading...
When he came to his senses, the people on the terrace came back into sight.
There was only a red light left in the air, connecting the wounds of Thales and Kessel.
That red light finally disappeared after being scrutinized by everyone's surprised, happy, disappointed and complicated eyes for more than ten seconds.
Li Xiya's expression was extremely tired at the moment. She raised her head and took a deep look at Kessel.
Kessel V did not speak, but simply accepted her gaze indifferently.
Li Xiya glanced at Thales again. This time, Thales clearly read surprise, disgust, and... fear in her eyes?
The nobles around were watching all this with bated breath.
Thales knew that the current situation was not right, so he could only grit his teeth and bury the confusion and pain of ringing in his ears deep in his heart.
Just like countless other puzzles.
The chief priest of the Sunset Temple weakly announced:
"The goddess has issued a decree."
She turned her head and gave Kessel a complex and painful look.
"These two are father and son."
"Bound by blood, linked by destiny."
As soon as the chief priest finished speaking, he decisively left towards the side of the hall.
With the people kneeling devoutly, she walked off the terrace without looking at anyone or anything in the hall.
No nostalgia.
Only the silent Kessel and the shocked Thales were left.
The little girl priest glanced at the two of them nervously, and hurriedly followed them holding the plate.
The next moment, the Hall of Stars, which had been quiet due to the bloodline ceremony, suddenly burst into cheers!
At Gilbert's urging, the guard passed the message down the square.
The Bright Star royal family finally has a new bloodline after twelve years.
The commotion on the terrace then turned into a carnival of tens of thousands of people in the entire square!
"Bright Star—Bright Star—"
The cheers almost filled the sky!
The faces of Costus and the several earls turned pale.
Gilbert and the royal supporters all exchanged excited glances. Only Jinni, looking at Li Xiya's back, had more obscure and complex emotions in her eyes besides joy.
"Okay," the fat Duke exhaled, his face full of joy: "Since the Sunset Temple has recognized this child's bloodline, I think he is indeed your Majesty's bloodline."
Coust looked at him coldly.
A cunning guy.
He turned back so quickly.
"According to the "Holy Star Covenant", after the royal family and the Sunset Temple have recognized his identity, the next step is for the Star High Council, which is an organization composed of our nineteen nobles, to recognize his identity and recognize this child.
, is a prince of the stars." On the terrace, in the background of the cheers in the square, Duke Cullen said with a smile.
"Wait!" Costard gritted his teeth and said the next sentence: "I remember, no matter who the mother of this child is, she is not Queen Keya?"
The expressions of many nobles present suddenly changed.
Gilbert's face suddenly turned ugly.
King Kessel V turned his head and looked at Kosted.
I saw the Lord of Junlin City, Duke of Cliffland, Coste Nantriest exhale:
"This child is Your Majesty's illegitimate son!"
Thales clenched his fists tightly.
Sure enough, my identity...
"Yes," Count Dastan reacted first: "According to the law of the stars, children born out of wedlock cannot enjoy the right to inheritance!"
The conversation on the balcony could not be heard clearly in the hall, but after the nobles in the front row who were close to each other heard it from word of mouth, the entire Hall of Stars was still in an uproar!
"Tormund I was also born out of wedlock!" Gilbert's eyes were blazing: "And he is the resurrected king to whom all of your ancestors swore allegiance!"
"The greatness of Tormund I was not inherited from him, the imperial blood of the final empire. His kingdom of stars was obtained through personal struggle, countless conquests, and bloodshed. The same is true for our ancestors - don't forget that they were born in the Six Hundred Years
A few years ago, there were many illegitimate sons, side children, or unsuccessful knights of the family. Their status was obtained with both hands," Earl Sorel, whose territory is in Cliffland, echoed the Duke of Cliffland:
"Is this bastard son five or six years old? What has he done to free him from the constraints of his bastard status and have the right to inherit the great country left by Tormund I like a legitimate child?"
"Your Majesty, of course we should admit that he is your heir and the blood descendant of the Bright Star - this is God's will." The one-eyed dragon's eyes turned cold: "But if you want to confirm that he is a prince with the right to inherit -
An illegitimate son becomes our next king? At least I will never bend the knee to him!"
"You just don't want to give up, right, Koust," the Duke of the North looked at the one-eyed dragon, with sadness and sigh in his eyes: "Even for the stars, for the coming war?"
Costard deliberately avoided Val's gaze and just stared at Kessel V.
"Of course he won't give up," the sinister Duke Falkenhauser laughed dryly: "He and this kid have become mortal enemies, haven't they?"
Thales' heart thumped.
He suddenly understood that what Gilbert just told him was "not a clever political method."
