Chapter 12 Queen, Princess and Destiny (2)(2/4)
Thales raised his head and looked at this lady.
"Back then, when Luther and Lydia—my brother and sister—were assassinated," Thales said with difficulty, "The queen and Ms. Jinnie were all there. Did they witness it with their own eyes?"
After a few seconds of silence, the lady in black and velvet had sadness in her eyes:
"Yes."
She said slowly:
"That day, His Highness Luther was..."
Ms. Goose Velvet closed her eyes tightly and said breathlessly as she recalled:
"Jini and I rushed over after hearing the sound, but we both arrived too late."
"It is said that his head rolled under the bed..."
"Princess Lydia was kidnapped. Jinni snatched the horse and chased her away. I ran to inform the guards, leaving the frightened Keya alone in the room."
Thales took a deep breath.
The answer suddenly came to his mind.
I see.
He was assassinated on the way to Fuxing Palace that day.
Jinni's abnormal reaction...even alerted me in advance. He was not an assassin coming for me.
Is this the reason?
They have all experienced... such a scene?
so……
"But you don't need to be afraid, Thales," the velvet lady with long hair in black smiled at him gently:
"...Queen Keya, she has been like this for many years."
"When she is awake, she is always hysterical and full of resentment," the velvet lady said with emotion: "When she is sick, she is quiet and peaceful. She only feels that Luther and Lydia are still beside her, jumping and playing..."
The lady's expression gradually became sad and miserable:
"After the tragedy that year, the palace was in chaos. Even King Eddy and His Highness Midir were... The guards were so nervous that they drew their swords when they saw anyone... So no one paid attention to this place, and the servants all fled."
"Only Keya clings to the prince's body and refuses to let go...it is said that she locked herself in the room..."
"I was forcibly segregated into a safe house by the guards... The panicked nobles closed the Fuxing Palace and Yongxing City... It would be two weeks before His Majesty Kessel took control of the kingdom and stabilized the situation." Ms.
He sighed and lowered his forehead.
Thales sighed softly.
"For two weeks, Keya stayed in the room, crying with her arms around the dead Prince Luther, and surviving on the water in the vase..."
"You know, two weeks have passed and the prince's body has become..."
Following the lady's description, Thales tried to imagine the scene and suddenly shuddered.
"Two weeks later, they broke open the door and we saw Keya, who was dying and almost fainting, and in her arms..."
The lady let out a long sigh, her face full of fear:
"That kind of scene is just like a nightmare."
Thales swallowed his throat and didn't dare to imagine anymore.
For the Bright Star Royal Family...
Year of Blood...
Is this the scene?
Born for the stars - is this the price?
silence.
Until Thales suddenly reacted, he raised his head and looked at the velvet lady in front of him in confusion.
correct.
Just now, Jinni called her——
your Highness?
Judging from her age, she shouldn't be Kessel's daughter, so the princess refers to...
However, the eldest princess Constance Canxing, the youngest daughter of the late king and the youngest sister of Kessel V, was not what he saw in Canxing’s tomb...
Thales had questions in his mind.
"So, are you...?" Thales asked cautiously.
"Oh, the title of 'princess' must have confused you." The goose-down lady understandingly relieved Thales of his embarrassment and lowered his head slightly in embarrassment:
"My surname is not Canxing, and I am not a real princess," I saw this "princess" shaking her head slightly:
"I am just the adopted daughter of His Majesty the late King. I can be regarded as your half-aunt."
Thales opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"I am Elise Sola, I am a little younger than Constance," Princess Elise said with a smile, a charming dimple showing on her face: "But I am not qualified to be named Bright Star... Sola
, this is my husband’s last name.”
Half... aunt?
Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?
"Excuse me, who is your husband..." Thales said mechanically.
"Count Sola...the honorary count from the late king's time," Elise sighed upon hearing this, "he just passed away a month ago."
widow?
No wonder, it's the man in black... who is still offering his condolences.
"A month ago? The honorary Earl passed away?" Thales asked doubtfully: "Is it an illness..."
But Thales realized that he was a little rude and quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Aunt Elise, I was presumptuous."
Princess Elise was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "No, there is nothing to hide..."
Just listen to the late king's adopted daughter, Princess Elise, speaking every word:
"He died in the big explosion in the center of Hongfang Street a month ago."
Hongfang Street...
big Bang?
Tails froze immediately.
Could it be...
"It's XC District and Xihuan District, the night when the gangs broke out." Elise said sadly.
Yes.
That's right.
It was me, Yoder, and Asheida who caused the explosion.
Guilt suddenly welled up in my heart.
Thales breathed out.
"He, your husband," Thales suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked slowly, "Why was he in Hongfang Street that night?"
There was obviously a curfew that night, right?
But Elise obviously didn’t know much, she just sighed:
"We don't have a good relationship. My husband... likes to go to Hongfang Street to have fun... A few days before his death, I went there to look for him and had a big quarrel. He didn't come back for three days..."
"But I didn't expect that it would be the last time."
Elise closed her eyes, shook her head and sighed.
She pulled the goose down on her shoulders to keep her warm.
But at this moment, Thales' pupils suddenly shrank!
That goose down... looks familiar.
Goose down...
Miss……
Hongfang Street...
Days before the big bang...
Argue with your husband...
