Kingdom’s Bloodline

Collective rebellion.

Thales stared blankly at Naki, who was out of breath.

Royal Guard? Rebellion?

No one responded to Samir's heartbreaking words.

Time seems to stand still for a moment, everything stays in the past and no longer moves forward.

Until Little Barney's disdainful sneer after taking a breath woke everyone up again from their astonishment.

"It's ridiculous," Little Barney's voice sounded a bit embarrassed, "Naki, your shameless lies are like..."

"lie?"

Like an irritated animal, Nucky asked loudly, cutting off Barney's unnatural question in his throat:

"lie?"

There was a hopeless coldness in Naki's tone, which made everyone shudder.

He looked around at the fellow guards with different expressions, and said to Little Barney with a half-smile:

"Guess what, Barney."

"In these years in the dungeon, those thirty-seven brothers whom you kept saying you wanted to avenge and seek justice for, died for what reason?"

thirty-seven……

Without warning, little Barney shivered abruptly.

He was not the only one who had this reaction, including Samir, Belletti, Tardin, and Cannon, and many people had different expressions.

Thales was still immersed in the frightening news of the collective mutiny of the guards, and looked at everyone again with a pale face.

According to Naki, at that time, the general royal guards were well aware of the assassination of the king. Perhaps many of them were not participants, but at least they were bystanders who did nothing.

So, in the royal guard, most of the participants and insiders who are no longer alive, what is their relationship with the bloody year, the tragedy of the royal family, and the black hands behind the scenes?

Even, these people who are still alive here, these people who have sworn the oath of guards, to be loyal to the throne forever...

Belletti, Tardin, Cannon, Bree...

Unknowingly, Thales turned pale, and took a step back a little later.

Nucky's hoarse and painful voice continued:

"Remember Walker? He died in the infighting in the first year. I guess he should have found out the truth later and brought the matter to the fore..."

Quick Knife Walker.

There was an illusion in front of Little Barney's eyes for a moment, and the image of a slippery and thin man appeared in front of his eyes.

"Molian and the 'bug' were innocent until they knew that—whether the companions they lived with day and night might be traitors, or the fact that they obeyed the rules and indirectly killed the king, these facts made it impossible for them to accept... "

Naki's words were weak, but they carried a soul-stirring connotation, which caused the expressions of the guards to change drastically, and Semir even let out a painful breath.

"Chimera is an insider, but he is too proud. He is too proud to be loyal and sinful at the same time. Facing your ruthless scolding, he still lives as if nothing happened..."

Morian, "Bug", Chimera.

Little Barney's breathing slowly stopped.

Belletti's breath was trembling, and Taldin's eyes showed horror.

"There is also the big Lalei. I don't know him very well. I don't know whether he found out the truth and wanted to kill him, or someone else found out the truth and wanted to kill him..."

Names floated in the air one after another.

Naki's words were full of misery, and he couldn't cry:

"Kim and Skeleton may not have been involved, but they've been guilt-ridden for years, until these two bastards decided to drop everything..."

"Rogo was very determined at first, but I guess the dark prison life has worn out his will..."

"Cox is very calm, but after all, he can't face the disappearance of so many people, and he can't accept that he hurts them because of his own selfishness..."

Following Naki's narration, everyone in the guards had lost their composure: Samir's eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion, Nai froze in place, Bree clenched his fists in pain, and Cannon held his forehead and trembled slightly.

At the end, the tearful Naki almost screamed:

"In it, how many people died of the pain of being imprisoned,

How many people died because of unjust grievances, and how many people actually died with guilt and guilt. Don't you really know the proud and resolute Quell Barney? "

Thales just felt more and more bored when he heard every sentence of heartbreaking words.

Back then, the forty-six White Blade Guards were imprisoned with shame, guilt, pain, crimes and unspeakable truth...

How did they spend the ten years?

"I..." Little Barney opened his mouth helplessly, but he was speechless and could only gasp heavily.

But Naki's words became more and more sharp:

"And you, when you, a paranoid, complained about your grievances in front of them day and night, endlessly, cursed the damn traitor, and cursed the shameless conspiracy for more than ten years..." Naji gritted his teeth typical.

Little Barney seemed to remember something, and his expression became dazed, puzzled, and surprised.

A few seconds later, the emotions on his face turned into the deepest fear and panic.

"When you, in front of those thirty-seven people, made a gesture of swearing that you would never turn back, threatened to dig out the truth, expose everything, threatened to make the sinners pay the price, let the brothers avenge their shame, and forced them to support you... ..."

Naki's tears flowed down uncontrollably:

"Do you really know what your seemingly righteous and loyal accusations and determination mean to them who are already disheartened and have nightmares?"

At that moment, little Barney's body flickered!

He stabbed the blade heavily into the ground so as not to collapse.

But the vanguard officer's face was like gold paper, dripping with cold sweat.

"No," Little Barney was almost absent-minded like a timid and helpless child at the moment:

"No!"

"You have no fucking idea what you're talking about, Nucky..."

Little Barney staggered a step back, shaking his head frantically, feeling panic.

"During these years, I watched them die, I buried them, I gave them a speech...I have supported them until now because of them, and in order to wash away their grievances one day..."

Little Barney's situation has almost hit rock bottom, and he talks to himself like a lunatic, which is much better than Sack El.

Everyone in the guards looked at each other almost absent-mindedly, reading intolerance and pain from each other.

But Naki, whose mental condition is not much better than Barney's, is obviously not going to let the vanguard go.

"Hahaha, you mean, they are the only reason for you to live?" Naki sarcastically laughed and cried:

"But you don't know..."

"Most of them, after being imprisoned, embraced shame and shame, guilt and self-blame, pain and torture, facing their ugliest selves, lingering on their last days, living like years..."

"And you, Quill Barney!"

Nucky pointed at Little Barney with hatred on his face:

"You thought you were encouraging them, saving them, avenging their eyes..."

"But in fact, you are whipping their hearts every moment, reminding, recalling, and deepening their impression and shame of that night, using your lofty and loyal integrity and personality, righteous slogans and determination to make them even in prison. It was also devastated."

"Forcing them to have nowhere to go, to torture themselves..."

Listening to Naki's words, little Barney was like an unfortunate traveler who fell into the abyss, trembling with fear, and even began to have difficulty breathing.

"It's you!"

Nucky's vicious accusations are unforgettable:

"It's you, it's you, one by one, who drove them to a dead end day after day in a way that seemed to encourage but actually cursed, and finally forced them to die!"

Naki's words were heart-rending, echoed in the dungeon, and everyone who heard it changed color:

"You are the real murderer who killed those thirty-seven brothers!"

"Quiel Barney!"

Bang!

While everyone was trembling, the sword and shield in Barney's hand fell to the ground at the same time, shaking endlessly.

"No!"

Little Barney covered his face with his hands in pain, trembling all over.

"No... no, it's not me..."

His voice was timid and frightened.

Facing Barney like this, Naki laughed loudly:

"And you, Young Master Bing, are still going back to the capital with awe and vigor, to discover the truth for them and seek justice?"

His smile slowly converges:

"Stop kidding, you son of a bitch Barney..."

"You don't know, when you just stood there and accused Sackel of being smart, every word made me sick."

Little Barney's groans became more and more painful.

Thales watched this extremely cruel confrontation with complicated emotions, and his unsettled mind and doubts were equally tormenting.

He thought of the cruel and merciless confrontation between the former brothers and sisters of the Meteor and the Death Crow in the barren rocky land of Qiyuan City.

But even then, it was difficult to compare with the scene in front of us.

The rest of the guards stared blankly at this scene, and even Semir remained silent.

For a moment, there was only little Barney's painful murmur in the dungeon.

He bent down and pressed his knees, gulping air, as if only in this way could he obtain the nourishment to live.

"but……"

"You don't know that, do you?"

Little Barney turned to the others tremblingly, without the calmness and majesty of the vanguard officer: "That's right... such a big thing, it's impossible for all of us not to know..."

"Tell me, he must have made it up..."

His tone was almost begging.

Hope to get an answer.

But the answers are often unsatisfactory.

"I doubted it."

A deep voice sounded.

Under the eyes of everyone, Nai lowered his head, his face was gray and defeated:

"The order that day was too weird and rare, but no one stood up to object, so I just..."

"I also doubted it when I was in prison, but..."

He didn't say any more.

Little Barney's eyes were shocked at first, and then became more desperate.

Belletti stared at Nye in disbelief.

Another calm, palpitatingly fragile voice interjected:

"it is true."

Everyone turned their eyes to another person:

"It's true... what Nucky said, I know."

The caller replied dully.

With a trembling voice, Little Barney looked at the person who spoke:

"Taldin? You?"

Thales frowned: Taldin dropped his sword, and said lonely and deadly:

"If they'd told me this was going to happen, if I knew Constance was going to... then I wouldn't, I wouldn't..."

As he spoke, tears rolled down his eyes:

"I won't……"

Tardin's throat seemed to be blocked, and it went down with his head, and he didn't respond anymore.

Samir looked at him in surprise.

"No." This is the dumb little Barney.

A third trembling voice rang out:

"It shouldn't be like this..."

Thales turned his head: Cannon was tremblingly leaning against the corner of the wall.

"I was late, I recalled the sentry, I left the door...but according to the plan, everything should be clean and straight, and it would end before they even realized it, and then I should have died with the Assassins , shouldn't live until now..."

Cannon's eyes were blank, and he muttered to himself:

"sorry……"

The expression in Little Barney's eyes gradually dimmed, as if the last ray of hope had been wiped out:

"Cannon?"

Cannon laughed hard.

"Naki is right, Samir is right, it's our fault, we can't escape," he shook his head nervously, muttering to himself:

"You can't leave Sakel alone...he has already carried too much..."

After Naki's words fell, the dungeon was silent for a long time.

Until Little Barney's hoarse and wooden voice came again:

"Anyone else?"

Seconds later, sobbing in pain, Bree fell to her knees, faltering in pain.

"Brie?" Barney looked at him blankly.

Naki chuckled lightly, his eyes dazed.

"That's why he can't talk anymore..." Naki whispered; "He doesn't have the courage to face it..."

The last of little Barney's expression faded away.

"Taldin, Cannon, Bree, Naki..." The vanguard looked numbly at the four people with different behaviors in front of them:

"In the past ten years, thirty-seven people..."

"Why...why didn't you tell me the truth?"

His echo echoed from the walls.

No one spoke.

Thales looked at them depressed.

At that moment, it seemed like nothing else mattered.

"the truth?"

It was Naki who spoke.

He shot Barney Jr. with a sarcastic look.

"Barney, do you know who was the leader of what happened back then?"

As soon as this remark came out, almost everyone's expressions changed.

Including Barney, his almost numb face twitched again.

Thales moved suddenly and understood something.

Naki bent down and laughed painfully:

"Barney... you pathetic idiot, he really loves you, doesn't he?"

Naki's words revealed deep hatred:

"So he protected you too well, you don't know anything... Maybe he just wanted to bet on both sides of the bet, and counted on you to escape with this innocence and ignorance afterwards, Stay in the palace."

"Even take his place?"

Little Barney's eye sockets suddenly widened!

"no no……"

The vanguard officer murmured.

A great wave of grief and despair came over him.

"That's right."

Just listen to Naki saying coldly:

"Back then, it was none other than the one who led the gathering of our group, instigated us to let go of that court turmoil, threw us all into the endless abyss, and then escaped the final judgment by himself."

Naki gritted his teeth, and the emotion in his eyes was indescribable:

"I hate him, I curse him."

He bitterly said:

"That's right, Deputy Captain of the Royal Guard."

"Big Quill Barney."

"You damn father."

thump.

Barney Jr. dropped his weapon and hit the ground on his knees.

He knelt on the ground blankly, breathing intermittently, his eyes were empty.

From this moment on, there was no trace of expression on his face.

It was as if he had lost his soul.
