Kingdom’s Bloodline

"You really did as I said, your wish came true."

Shiles' expression was indifferent, and he seemed to have forgotten the sword edge in front of his throat. He glanced over Puttilai beside Thales, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Congratulations on getting out of prison—— With you, Your Excellency the Deputy Envoy, I didn’t know that you came to visit this time..."

Shiles knew that the thin man in front of him was a key figure in the Star Mission.

Just talk to him...

But Putilei said nothing, with an indifferent expression, just quietly waiting for their prince's words.

Thales showed a smile: "Okay, Your Excellency the Marquis."

"Stop looking at Putilai—I'm the one who's here to talk business with you today."

Shiles paused, and he stared blankly at Thales, his eyes constantly changing.

Even when he first met the prince, he didn't have such an expression.

"Then." Shiles seemed to have recovered his previous demeanor and etiquette from the sudden attack, he cleared his throat, and said with a smile, "Why do you put yourself in danger again?"

He took a deep breath, glanced at the sword edge in front of his neck, thought about the current situation, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Although it's not friendly to say so, but..."

"I have a dedicated regular contact person. According to the prior plan, once they lose my news, the first choice is usually to notify the Grand Duke of Lombard."

Nicolai frowned.

The Marquis of Bermuda of Comus turned to Thales, showed a earnest expression, and sighed: "Look, you are taking a risk."

"Yes." Thales nodded, waved his hand at Nicolai, and signaled him to step back, "So, I came here to find you at the risk of exposing myself."

"Just like a few hours ago, you took the risk to pick me up in person." Thales focused his eyes:

"Master Marquis."

The Kangmasian showed a helpless expression.

"I understand your feelings. This is a sad mission trip," Shiles said with a helpless sigh, "You have finally escaped the catastrophe, and you feel depressed, and you want to get back some interest..."

"No."

Thales interrupted him.

"I have limited time," the second prince said flatly, "so I'll make a long story short."

Shiles was slightly taken aback.

The second prince took a step forward, climbed onto a stool in front of the desk, and tried to keep his eyes on the same level as Shiles who was being held hostage: "First, when you came to pick me up earlier, you told me: if I If you give up and go back to the Palace of Heroes, you can send me quietly out of the city, or even back to the stars."

Shiles rolled his eyes and smiled politely.

"That was a decision you made privately behind Lumbard's back." Thales whispered.

"So, you are Rumba's partner, but you are not his subordinate, you don't obey his orders, and you don't have to be loyal to him."

"Otherwise," Thales raised his lips, "Why didn't he send his elite soldiers to protect you?"

Marquis Shiles nodded with a friendly expression, seeming to be courteous.

"I understand."

"You want me to betray my relationship with the Grand Duke of Lombard? Help you instead?" The Marquis thought for a moment, then said calmly, "This is no small request. If he finds out..."

Thales shook his head.

"Your contract with Lumbard has been completed," the prince stared at his face earnestly: "King Nunn is dead—the spirit of the contract, remember?"

The Marquis' eyes moved slightly.

"I want to do business with you, Lord Marquis," the prince said softly, "Business is naturally a win-win situation—the gain must exceed the cost."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room.

Shiles raised one corner of his mouth, his eyes were bright:

"Business?"

After pondering for a few seconds, he raised his head, ignoring the fact that he was being held hostage, and smiled brightly: "What do you want?"

Thales also smiled:

"I need information,"

"Information, huh," Shiles nodded, thoughtfully: "Since it's a business,

So what are you going to exchange for it? "

intelligence.

exchange.

Thales took a breath, and suddenly remembered Kevin Deere's Weed Manor and that bloody night.

It's not that long, but it feels like it's far away.

He came back to his senses, and smiled at the well-behaved Shiles: "Don't worry, my price is very fair, and you will definitely earn something."

Shiles lowered his head slightly, his eyes widened: "Oh? I'm looking forward to it."

"I will use a more important piece of information," Thales said solemnly, "exchanging your piece of information."

Shiles blinked: "So it's..."

next second.

"My information is," Thales exhaled, inexplicably remembered the old man named Chris, the steward of the blood rival, and then looked directly into Shiles' eyes: "Your life is in our hands superior."

The prince smiled and said, "Is this information enough?"

Shiles' face froze.

one second.

two seconds.

Shiles let out a breath and shrugged: "I thought you really wanted to do business with me, not..."

"Thinking about it," Thales said with the same smile, "This business is very profitable."

Shiles sighed softly, but his words did not budge.

"Business doesn't work like this," the Marquis narrowed his eyes, seemingly not worried: "You have already messed with Exeter, and you can't protect yourself, but Commus is willing to lend a helping hand, such as quietly sending you out of the country—— As I said before..."

Thales' face turned cold.

"King Nuen is dead," he said coldly, "Those who defended him to the death had to endure the shame of the sword."

"As an accomplice, should you take some responsibility?"

Shiles' words paused.

He looked at Thales suspiciously.

"These people?" His Excellency the Marquis narrowed his eyes: "The shame of the white blade?"

Nicolai took a step forward coldly.

"You don't seem to realize your situation yet," the meteorite said coldly, "my dear Commas friend."

Shiles heard the voice.

He was slightly shocked at first, and then carefully looked at Nicolai who had put on makeup.

A few seconds later, the Marquis' face became extremely ugly.

He recognized the man with unnaturally dark skin.

"Ah, Lord Nicolai!" Shiles twitched his face in embarrassment, with a wonderful and painful expression:

"You still..."

"Alive?" Nicolai took his words with disdain.

Shiles' face froze, and he stammered: "Haha, haha, this, this is another surprise..."

"Yes," Nicolai sneered, his eyes filled with hatred and anger: "Your Majesty Nun..."

Before Nikolai could finish speaking, Shiles changed his expression at lightning speed in the next instant.

"I've reconsidered, Your Highness Thales!"

Lord Marquis turned his head and looked at Thales solemnly.

"This is indeed a good business." Shiles said earnestly.

"What do you want to know about Lumbard's information?" His words were fluent and smooth, his tone was sincere and warm, and his emotions were real and natural: "I will do my best to solve your doubts."

Raphael on the side smiled.

Nikolai let out a breath of dissatisfaction.

Thales sighed and looked at Puttilai, who gave him a positive look.

The prince turned to the highly enlightened Marquis, and nodded to Raphael.

Raphael lowered his blade.

The Marquis breathed a sigh of relief.

"You once said that Rumba has a unique vision and demeanor," Thales frowned. "And Rumba also said that he wants to save Exeter."

The prince raised his head, his eyes serious:

"Why do you say that?"

Shiles raised his eyebrows.

God.

I thought he was going to ask some evidence of Rumba's regicide, or key figures...

However, the problem...

"You won't understand." Shiles shook his head and sighed: "Many people regard this as nonsense—in fact, I still don't understand it until now..."

Thales narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me and see if I can understand," Star Prince said indifferently, "Why and why did Rumba want to 'save' Exeter?"

The Marquis of Comus looked at Thales steadily.

Emotions rolled in his eyes.

A few seconds later, Shiles chuckled.

He said softly: "Because for him—Rumba saw a real threat, and danger."

In this room, no matter whether it was Raphael, Putillai, or Nicolai, they were slightly taken aback.

Only one person did not respond.

"A real threat?" Thales asked back with an unchanged expression.

"Yes, an unprecedented and irresistible threat." Shiles seemed to be willing to go all out, he raised his eyebrows, and he didn't expect the people in the room to understand: "The threat is enough to defeat and destroy the entire Exeter. "

"The other grand dukes didn't notice it, or didn't want to notice it."

"Only Charmain Rumba saw it and made decisive choices and actions before the threat really struck."

Thales gently clasped his hands.

It's getting closer.

Now……

"In order to face this terrible and terrifying threat," Thales said softly, repeatedly as if he was afraid of waking up something: "He must unite all of Exeter's strength, right?"

"For example, those four Grand Dukes in the Palace of Heroes?"

"Such as Dragon Clouds City?"

Thales raised his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Because this is not a terrible threat that any of them can resist alone-it is unprecedented, and it will even change our history forever."

At that moment, Shiles was really stunned.

It was like meeting the prince for the first time.

"Did you already guess it?" Shiles murmured, "But..."

Thales interrupted him coldly: "It's just a conjecture, I still need you to confirm it yourself."

The prince clenched his fists, remembering what the little slippery boy had said to him.

Mindis III.

Centennial chess game.

The foundation of all ages.

Thales narrowed his eyes and asked the last question: "That huge threat."

"What is it?"

Shiles seemed to have recovered from his surprise at Thales.

He let out a long breath, then frowned.

After a few seconds, Shiles' brows relaxed.

he laughed.

"Honorable Your Highness Thales, in fact, you have already figured it out," Shiles said with a smile while shaking his head slowly, "For a long time, what did Charman Rumba do for a long time?"

Thales' eyes became more and more serious.

Only Shiles said with deep meaning on his face, "In this world, what kind of existence..."

"It can intimidate the dragon kingdom with unparalleled military strength..."

"Threatening the future survival of the most powerful country in West Six..."

"We will inherit the great way of the Northland and establish the Kingdom of Exeter for more than 600 years..."

"A push to an unprecedented critical moment of life and death?"
