Chapter 9 The Alliance of Two Kings(1/2)
Fuxing Palace.
"Deng - Deng - Deng -"
A rushing sound came from outside the door.
That was the sound of high-heeled leather boots hitting the stone ground.
"boom!"
The heavy door to the dormitory was pushed open!
"What's wrong with you!"
A refreshing and angry female voice came loudly.
The maid sweeping aside was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and hurried towards the door.
In her peripheral vision, she caught a glimpse of His Majesty's lover, a first-class palace lady, a once popular lady in the royal capital, a legendary vigilance officer, and a wonderful and ups and downs life story that could fill a book of bards.
This heroic lady of the palace stepped into the room angrily and shouted angrily at Kessel V in front of the window:
"Do you really want to murder your own son?"
In front of the window, looking at the king under the Fuxing Palace, King Kessel V Bright Star slowly turned around:
"As a king, I must do this."
"That's all."
The majestic voice replied.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap sounded from behind!
The maid did not dare to linger any longer and left the room dripping with cold sweat.
"He is not only a prince, but also your bloodline - not the man behind the destruction of the Bright Star Royal Family and the destruction of the Star Kingdom!" Jinni was furious, not having the slightest sense of having just slapped the Supreme King of Stars hard.
Kaiser V touched his slapped cheek and felt dazed for a while.
The past appeared in front of his eyes, that "Limited Time Warning Officer" with heroic appearance and amazing aura.
And their first meeting.
That's a slap in the face too, isn't it?
But the Supreme King came back to his senses and said calmly: "What a coincidence, Yoder also said similar words to that boy."
"That boy?" Jinni looked at the king in disbelief: "That's your only son!"
"Yes, my only son," Kaiser's eyes flashed with complexity, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "So I have chosen the best path for him - the trials that an heir to a kingdom must endure.
.”
Training?
Ji Ni struggled with her eyebrows and looked at the strong man in front of her.
"Having never experienced real hell," Kaiser V took a deep breath, with a chill in his eyes: "How can he be qualified to be a real king?"
Jinni was shocked.
hell?
hell.
Jinni sighed deeply: "K, there are some things... we have to learn to get used to them or even... forget them."
The king sneered expressionlessly: "Really?"
He took a step forward and looked directly at Jinnie: "I heard from Gilbert that you encountered an assassin on your way to Fuxing Palace."
"Can you really get used to or even forget those things?"
Jinni's whole body was shaken, and she looked at Kessel with confusion.
Jinni raised her trembling hand, put it on Kessel's shoulder, stroked his red and swollen face, and said painfully and sadly:
"K, you can't live in the past forever."
She gritted her teeth gently and said:
"Please."
Kessel V trembled all over, looking at Jinni's watery eyes and pleading eyes, he felt sad in his heart.
"The past is history," he replied silently, "the only thing I can see is the future."
past.
future.
Really?
Jinni bit her silver teeth, and a young and cute boy appeared in front of her eyes.
Her eyes were so sore that she almost shed tears.
The king looked at Jinni's appearance and clenched his fists unconsciously.
"As for that man... Thales," the king gritted his teeth and closed his eyes cruelly: "You don't have to worry about him, I will prepare everything for him, everything a bright star needs."
"He will never...will not become the next Lydia or Luther..."
Jinni's hand trembled.
She lowered her head slightly and showed a sad smile.
"You know, in the past twenty years, I have experienced countless interrogations and seen countless looks." She gently hugged Kessel's waist and snuggled into the king's broad arms.
The palace lady said sadly: "Your shining stars, whether they are Medir, Horace, or King Eddy, their eyes are always filled with vigilance, world-weariness and struggle, whether for the world or for themselves. And now.
…”
She leaned against the king's chest and continued with a painful expression, "After that year, your eyes still have the same color."
When Kessel heard the names of his two brothers and the late king, his eyes filled with sadness.
"But his eyes are different. I can feel that he is different from each of you -"
"Even if this is so unusual for a seven-year-old boy..."
The king sighed: That's because the boy has not experienced what he has experienced...
Jinni said silently: "Even if his mother... exists like that."
At that moment, Jinni could feel that the strong body she was leaning on suddenly stiffened.
"Don't worry, Jinni," the king hugged Jinni tightly, gritting his teeth and saying with pain on his face: "He will be fine..."
"He'll be safe."
"He will survive."
"He is not only a shining star, but also a descendant of the imperial family, and he is also the son of that woman - let alone Exeter, even if he is in hell, he can grit his teeth and survive!"

"Kill me to avenge Prince Morar and eliminate the hatred of King Nun - that's what your Majesty said, right?"
Thales walked to the lobby on the first floor, watched Gilbert gesture to the kitchen, and continued:
"From this point of view, Exeter seems to be a very dangerous place. After all, we have the old grudges of the "Peace of Fortress", and there was an assassination of the envoy. The only person who died was the heir of their only son who jointly held the king.
, King Nun is in a rage, and the major lords of Exeter are also coveting our territory. Under this situation-the Prince of the Stars is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."
Thales breathed a sigh of relief: "But will my current situation be better than when I go to Exeter in the future?"
Gilbert was slightly startled.
"As the only heir to Bright Star, I was born to be in opposition to all the major lords. Look at Nantrist, look at Kevin Dill, not to mention Arlend who has just been imprisoned. After all, if something happens to me,
, they will have a chance.”
Thales walked up the steps and passed by the portraits of the Three Star Kings with a blank look in his eyes: "Before I appeared, their focus was on His Majesty, but after I appeared, I was destined to be the target of the new generation - even with the strength of Fuxing Palace,
There is no way to ensure my safety. There is a Far Eastern proverb: 'It is easy to dodge a spear from the front, but it is difficult to defend against a cold arrow from behind.'"
"But in comparison, the lords of Exeter may want the benefits of Star Prince, and they may be unhappy with me, but they will never go to the extent of killing me - on the contrary, no matter who is stained with the blood of Star Prince
, are destined to become the target of public criticism. The whole star will be against it: the loyal ones want to avenge the royal family, and the ambitious ones want to gain the reputation of righteousness."
"Exeter adopts a king-selection system. The ten grand dukes elect the next co-elected king at the king-selecting meeting after the death of each co-elected king to rule for life - every archduke has a chance, and every grand duke has a chance.
The great princes all competed with each other, and when it came to the degree of division, Exeter was even more divided than the stars."
"Xingchen may not be strong enough to compete with Exeter, but under the temptation of the crown, it is more than enough to crush a certain Exeter lord together, and other Exeter lords must also be happy to do so.
Stand idly by and watch your competitors in the kingsmoot perish."
"In the words of the Far East, I am like a hot potato. No matter which lord of Exeter finds me in their territory, not only can they not harm me, but for the sake of their own interests, the lords must do their best to protect me.
I."
