Kingdom’s Bloodline

Under Earl Lewis's questioning tone, Dele's face remained normal.

"In front of you is Tyre..."

But Lewis immediately laughed and interrupted Dele's introduction with a wave

"Don't be nervous, it was just a joke, of course I know where he is..."

Dele's face sank after being interrupted.

"Come on, let me see..."

In Dele's silence, Lewis slowly turned his horse's head and looked sideways at Thales with a profound expression.

The prince took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and accepted Earl Black Lion's gaze with a smile.

A few seconds later, Earl Lewis, who had almost circled Thales for half a circle, finally let out a laugh

"Your Highness, I have heard about your great achievements in the Northland for a long time. It is a great honor for you to come here."

He narrowed the distance with the prince, leaning back, his expression still arrogant

"Maybe you don't remember me..."

But unexpectedly, the prince interrupted the other party by raising his volume

"Will the black lion, who is good at fighting, still fight for the lions?"

Lewis was taken aback when he heard these words.

"'Fight to the death', that's how you answered my father," the second prince looked straight at the leader of the Black Lion family under everyone's gaze.

"'As long as the head lion is still brave and brave, remember the lions'."

Lewis looked surprised.

Even Dele beside him frowned slightly.

"Yes, I remember you, Count Lewis Bozdorf from Hellsoul Castle."

"Six years ago, you were sitting not far from me at the State Council meeting."

Thales cleared his throat, his eyes in the sunset began to turn cold

"And I still remember, when they voted on whether I should be prince..."

"You voted me a no."

There was a warning tone in Thales' words.

Bozdov's expression changed instantly.

He sat up straight on the horse, and looked at Thales differently.

Even Dele on one side pursed his lips.

Lewis coughs slightly

"Your Highness, in the past..."

But the prince's cold face suddenly dissipated, like an iceberg melting into water.

Thales sneered and interrupted the earl

"Don't be nervous, it was just a joke..."

Under the frowning expressions of both Lewis and Dele, Thales leisurely raised the reins and rode his horse, passing Earl the Black Lion

"Come on, let me see..."

The prince calmly looked at the black armored soldiers behind the earl, as if he was reviewing his own army.

A few seconds later, Thales picked up the rein and returned to the horse, following Lewis' example, and smiled sassyly.

"Your Excellency, I have long admired the reputation of the Black Lion family for their combat skills."

After saying that, he smiled friendly and stretched out his right hand to Earl Lewis.

"It's an honor to see you today."

Lewis stared blankly at the prince.

The Black Lion Family of Heroes of Soul.

Another surname that resounds throughout the Western Wilderness.

Historically, Bozdov's ancestor was a heavy infantry soldier who participated in the Battle of the End. He was repeatedly promoted by the King of Restoration because of his bravery and skill in combat.

The western border of the Kingdom of Stars can be expanded to where it is today, and a considerable part of it depends on the warlike and strong in their blood. In the battle of the Duchy of the Mist, it was Bozdov's infantry regiment that beheaded the first and last Grand Duke of the Mist.

After the First Continental War, the popularity of Heroic Soul Fort once reached its peak. In the Western Wilderness, the Black Lion Family even controlled the guardian Duke until their "Double Star Confrontation" in the late 2nd century - "Cloud King" Horace II After Shi Shi's death, the Canxing royal family's tragic internal strife for the throne - Zhong, like most families in that era, unfortunately stood on the wrong team.

The startled Earl Lewis stared at the prince's outstretched right hand, then at Thales' smile, and fell silent for a while.

On the side, Dele, who said nothing, looked at Thales, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

half a second later,

The Earl of the Black Lion restrained his previous haughty expression, urged his mount to take a step forward, threw off his iron gauntlet without hesitation, and firmly grasped Thales' palm

"I promise, you'll see we live up to our name."

Thales only felt the clenched palm vibrate.

The earl of the black lion has a lot of strength.

Earl Lewis squinted

"And the lion head is really extraordinary."

Count Bozdorf let go of his palm and waved back

"Your Highness, come and meet my eldest son and heir, Paul."

A young brown-haired young man with a resolute face and a silent and low-key look, wearing an armor with a black lion emblem, rode forward.

"Paul Bozdorf," the young Paul pressed his fists to his chest with a stern face, looking less complicated than his father, "Your Highness, it is my honor to serve you."

Thales smiled

"It's an honor for me, too."

Earl Lewis, who had been sizing up Thales, smiled, and reached out to the black armored soldiers behind him

"Your Highness."

"My son, two hundred elite members of the Black Lion family, and a hundred people from fourteen families around Heroeson Fort will escort you home with Dele."

Lewis added

"Forgive me for not being able to accompany you in person, but please don't doubt our enthusiasm and loyalty to Fuxing Palace."

Thales looked at the black lion flag behind Lewis, and the other fourteen flags of small and medium nobles.

The prince first frowned slightly, then smiled

"Never doubted."

Lewis also laughed

"I never doubted that you never doubted."

But the next moment, Earl Black Lion looked to the east, his tone changed

"But I doubt others do."

Thales' smile froze.

Well, that's a really good statement.

In the awkward atmosphere, Dele next to him coughed intentionally or unintentionally.

But Lewis seemed not to understand, and suddenly said

"That's why I heard that our Duke of Xihuang, Lord Cyril, has already visited you, Your Highness?"

"And gave you a good sword?"

Thales' nerves that had been put down for a while were immediately raised by these words.

hell.

How did he know?

The prince, who was suffering from a headache, changed his direction, subconsciously trying to block the "warner" on the saddle.

"About that, I would have given it back..."

But Lewis sighed. He pointed to the army he brought with him, his eyes were not angry.

"Me and Dele."

"Together, we first mobilized countless citizens, and then mobilized six or seven hundred elite personal guards to accomplish the matter, but the Duke did it with only one sword."

Count Bozdorf hummed softly

"What a deal."

He turned suddenly to the owner of the one-winged crow

"What do you say, Dele?"

The Earl of Fort Wing raised his head, but did not answer, and only gave Lewis a friendly smile.

Thales looked at Dele's expression and realized something.

In the next second, Earl Lewis' gaze returned to the prince, with an attitude that seemed casual

"So, did he 'throw' you with the sword too?"

Thales was taken aback

"Dump?"

Dele on the side coughed again.

But Earl Lewis still didn't seem to hear yes, he smiled indifferently, and gestured to the prince on his mount

"You know, just throwing the sword in front of you on purpose, and if you're scared the shit out of him, then he'll just laugh 'ah, you're nothing more than that', and if you don't respond, then pretend to be deep 'Well you passed Mine tested'."

I saw Lewis waving with disdain and said,

"After bluffing people, of course, he can make a big show and make a long speech."

Deliberately holding a sword in front of you...

Thales was puzzled for a while, and then froze firmly.

What?

The day before yesterday, the scene of the Duke of Xihuang being alone in a room with him flooded his mind like a flood.

"What?" the prince asked in surprise.

As if he had expected the other party's reaction, Earl Lewis smiled with an expression of "I'll just say it"

"I guess, His Excellency the Duke probably expressed his heartfelt feelings and worries to you, showing that he loves Xihuang deeply, madly, justifiably, inextricably, and earth-shattering. In the end, he solemnly declares that, Everything is a last resort, in big and small troubles, he actually just wants to remain neutral, and doesn't want to choose sides?"

Thales blinked his eyes, a little dazed by the amount of information in this sentence.

What?

but lewis continues

"And did he use that set of more than a dozen words to go around dozens of turns, turn around and come back to the word game, what kind of power comes from violence, violence produces a lot and then returns to power To confuse you with lies..."

Power springs from violence...

A word game that spins around and comes back again...

Listening to the other party's words, Thales was stunned and puzzled, his brows frowning several times.

Earl Black Lion's tone was joking

"Makes you think he's unfathomable, visionary, and different?"

Dele next to him turned his head away and coughed heavily.

Thales finally found a gap, and asked in doubt

"How do you..."

But Lewis didn't give him a chance to ask back.

"You know, after a bunch of bullshit, when the time comes, he'll snap his fingers like this..."

Count Bozdorf waved his hand contemptuously and snapped his fingers

"Blink again, flick your teeth 'Don't worry, I won't tell anyone this, but I'm with you!'"

His way of shaking his head and his disdainful expression had a bit of the Duke of Falkenhaus.

But this surprised His Royal Highness

"what?"

Lewis sneered

"Don't be surprised, Your Highness."

"That's the unpopular Master Cyril. When we were young, he treated everyone..."

He put away his joking expression, his face turned cold

"It's all done like that."

Thales stared at him blankly, trying to control his expression.

What's the meaning?

Doing this to everyone...?

That……

Then what he heard in the Ghost Prince Tower yesterday, what the Duke of Xihuang said...

【You think I'll just grab a fourteen-year-old boy on the street and tell him this? 】

Thales felt a little messy.

Lewis turned away disdainfully

"Am I right, Dele?"

On this side, Dele saluted politely, but still smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Dele's performance, Earl Black Lion snorted dissatisfiedly.

But at this moment, Thales' heart was already in turmoil.

that……

The Duke of Xihuang who looks like a boss, why... unexpectedly... but... no... then...

"I'm going to visit the Duke at camp today, and I hope he won't play me the old way."

lewis snorted

"But anyway, neither the beginning nor the end of this farce."

"We really thank you, Your Highness."

Earl Bozdorf fixedly looked at Thales who was thinking hard

"And from the ruins to the Wing Fort, whether Lord Cyril or Dele, including so many lords under us, if it weren't for your presence, it would be rare for Xihuang to have such a crowd."

"You must be our savior, Your Highness, whether it was six years ago or now, you have reunited us who had no contact with each other."

"You said yes, Dele?"

Dele pursed his lips for the third time and smiled politely.

Looking at the Earl of Wing Fort who was not allowed to enter, Bozdorf turned his attention to Thales again

"And I have a gift."

Earl of the Black Lion waved his hand, and in the next second, several Kongwu powerful black armored soldiers raised the flagpole and raised an exaggeratedly high and surprisingly large flag in the air.

Thales was about to thank him just now, but his smile froze again.

"Miss your family crest, Your Highness?"

Amidst the unanimous exclamation and uproar of residents on both sides of the town, the flag unfurled in the wind.

It was a nine-pointed star flag.

However, the nine-pointed star on the flag seems to be made of a special material. As long as the flag moves slightly, it will shine with dazzling silver light, like a starry sky, making it hard to ignore.

Many people, including Thales, subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes.

Fuck.

This is too...

Thales turned around in embarrassment

"I appreciate your gift, but it's too high-profile..."

"High profile?"

Lewis cut him off very quickly, throwing his arms in disapproval at the surrounding towns and fields.

"For the sake of the goddess, this is your country, your homeland, and we will all be your vassals. Walking in your own home, we should be free—"

Thales whispered embarrassingly

"I'd rather keep a low profile..."

But Lewis didn't seem to hear what he said, and continued to say loudly

"—And if there is a day when you, as the royal family of Canxing, have to hesitate and have doubts even when you reveal your identity in your own home, then maybe..."

Lewis leaned forward, slapped Thales on the shoulder, and the exaggerated expression on his face suddenly cooled down

"There is something wrong with this family."

he said coldly

"What do you say?"

Thales' heart trembled.

Lewis pressed Thales' shoulder, revealing an extremely disturbing sense of disobedience.

Thales took a deep breath.

A second later, he curled the corner of his mouth, but didn't say anything, just released a...

Impeccable smile.

"Excuse me." At this moment, Dele, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke out.

"It's time for you to go, my lord, it will take half a day to get to the Saber camp from here."

Thales was very grateful for his interruption.

I don't know if it was because of Dele's helping hand, or because he finally had nothing to say, Earl Lewis just let go of his hand after being silent for a while.

He put away his suspicious expression and smiled slightly.

"Of course, don't let me disturb you."

"Paul, protect the prince with your life," Lewis told his son pointedly.

"Just like the prince who risked his life for six years to defend his homeland."

Paul bowed his head solemnly

"I will, Father."

"I will."

Count Bozdorf bent the corner of his mouth, and pointed to the shiny silver nine-pointed star banner with his thumb.

"Also remember, although the flag is heavy, you have to make sure it stands in the air."

"Don't let it fall."

Lewis clicked his tongue and didn't know who he was talking to

"It will hurt people."

Thales didn't change his face.

This time, Paul didn't answer, just nodded silently.

"Then, all the best, Your Highness."

The Earl of the Black Lion reined in his horse, his cold expression faded, and he said with a confident smile

"The roads in Xihuang have been in disrepair for a long time, and it has always been difficult to walk."

Surrounded by soldiers, Lewis Bozdorf swayed and rode by Thales' side, leaving the prince with a back view and a meaningful sentence

"Presumably, the central leader Chidao..."

"Will it be flatter?"

Facing Earl Black Lion's leaving team, Thales breathed a sigh of relief.

He and Dele looked at each other, and both showed impeccable and helpless smiles.
