Kingdom’s Bloodline

A few seconds later, Glover coughed bluntly, Thales let go of Wyah, and rubbed his eyes.

"Your Highness."

Huai Ya held Thales' shoulders and said with emotion:

"I haven't seen you in half a year, you...you have grown taller again."

Thales smiled.

"I'd say you do too, but..."

Thales patted him on the shoulder in relief:

"Just come back,"

Thales left Wyah, opened his arms with complicated emotions, and walked towards the next person.

"And you..."

Seeing this, Rolf quickly backed away, gesturing non-stop:

【No. 】

There was a touch of horror in his eyes:

【Don't. 】

【I don't. 】

Thales, who is familiar with the character of the other party, smiled, and his open arms drooped again:

"Well, forget it."

"It's not bad, this is quite interesting." D.D, who was watching, said sullenly.

But Thales turned around immediately and hugged the others one by one.

"How are you, Genard, and you, Willow with the two guns?"

"Your Highness."

Veteran Genard is very calm:

"It's just a shift to work."

"Your Highness!" Former recruit Willow looked around excitedly:

"So uncle didn't lie to me, we've really arrived at the capital—much better than that big village in Dragon Clouds City!"

After Thales had finished exchanging greetings with the most familiar old department one by one, Cohen saw the opportunity and leaned forward.

"You're back, the real big brother Wyatt!" The security officer excitedly hugged Wyatt, almost lifting him off the ground.

"Big Brother? What's that called?" Wyatt looked suspicious, obviously not as enthusiastic towards him as he was towards Thales:

"Wait, why did you say 'real'?"

But Cohen didn't care, he lifted him off the ground, and circled for three and a half weeks:

"I miss you so much!"

Amid Wyah's complaints and curses, Cohen embraced everyone generously.

Until he saw Rolf.

"Hmm..." The Wind Follower's eyes were cold, but under Wyatt's warning gaze, he just made a guttural sound like a beast warning to Cohen, and then turned away.

"Okay," the security officer touched his head in embarrassment, shrugged at Rolf's back, and murmured:

"Yes, I'm fine... I'm glad to meet you too... Have a drink together when I'm free..."

"Hey," Doyle frowned and poked Cohen, pointing to Rolf:

"He ignored you."

Cohen turned his head, his expression changed from an embarrassed smile to gritted teeth:

"I know!"

Glover coughed, attracting Thales and Wyah's attention:

"Your Highness?"

D.D adjusted his clothes elegantly, inspected the new arrivals, and then looked at the prince expectantly.

Thales came back to his senses.

"Guys, I'd love to introduce you, but now is clearly not the time."

He patted Glover on the shoulder, then thumped Wyatt's chest:

"Let's get to know each other on the road."

Doyle's hopeful eyes dimmed, and he felt aggrieved.

Thales took a deep breath and took his mount from Kong Mutuo:

"Are you ready?"

Jenny neighed happily.

Thales chuckled, rejecting Kong Mutuo's kindness to squat down and let him mount the horse. Recalling Nicolai's equestrian class, the crime of prison river came out at will, and he stepped on the saddle neatly and got on the horse.

"Let's go."

So, a group of excited, excited, strange, doubtful and other moods, followed Jenny's footsteps, set foot on Fuxing Avenue, and hurried forward.

As a security officer, Doyle took stiff steps and was about to keep up with Thales' right side, but another figure had already taken a step ahead of him.

"Thank you, but I am His Highness's attendant," Huai Ya walked beside Thales's horse, stretched out his hand and refused, but his words were polite but could not be rejected:

"It's the right thing to be with you."

Doyle rolled his eyes.

"Are you the prince's attendant?"

D.D landed on the outside of Wyah,

Unhappy whispered: "What's your name?"

"Wyah."

Doyle narrowed his eyes: "Wyah what?"

"Huiya... Ka Suo." The attendant said coldly.

"Hmph, Ka Suo, I thought it was who—" D.D snorted first, and his expression suddenly changed when he remembered:

"Ah, Ka Suo?"

Doyle instantly became amiable:

"Oh, Brother Wyatt! I have admired your name for a long time, how is your father, Earl Caso—"

Wyah was not good at dealing with such enthusiasm, so he had to show an ugly smile.

Rolf on the other side sneered.

Huai Ya's eyes turned cold, and he turned to D.D and said:

"This is Midilla Rolfe. In fact, he followed His Highness earlier than me..."

Rolf choked with a smile.

D.D turned his head, his eyes lit up again.

"Brother, your name is Rolf?"

"..."

"Wow, great name, your parents are really talented!"

"..."

"Hey, your mask is so cool! Where did you buy it?"

"..."

"I know, you don't like talking, it's okay, I like people who cherish words like gold..."

"..."

"Because I know that people like you don't usually talk, and what you say at critical moments are all wise words..."

"..."

"Speaking of which, my humble idiot, Danny Doyle, is the guard of His Royal Highness Thales' personal guard..."

"..."

"Let's go to Hongfang Street together when you have time? It's okay, you're welcome, I'm very familiar with it there! The Blood Bottle Gang will give me face!"

"..."

"Brother, you don't need to talk, I know, I know..."

"..."

Cohen, who was behind them, couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed so hard:

"Hahahaha, don't you know?"

"He's dumb, he can't speak!"

The disrupted D.D turned back angrily:

"What's wrong with the dumb, can't the dumb speak! You're bi-er..."

Doyle's words froze, and then he turned his head pitifully, looking at the gloomy Rolf, flattering and aggrieved.

"That, hehe, hehe,"

"Hold, I'm sorry, brother."

Cohen gloated and lip-synthesized "shabi".

But Doyle quickly thought of a remedy.

"It's okay, you don't need to say anything, I understand, I understand everything!"

Doyle stretched out his thumb and patted Rolf's shoulder vigorously, ignoring the latter's increasingly cold eyes:

"real man!"

"It's worth risking your life for His Royal Highness, it's nothing to be dumb!"

"Hahahahaha——" Cohen covered his mouth and laughed again.

"What's the matter?" Doyle glared at him.

The security officer nodded and made fun of D.D:

"The reason why he can't speak is because I crippled his throat during a street fight..."

Rolf turned around suddenly, his eyes were like knives!

Cohen shuddered and paused.

He reacted, made an apologetic expression to Rolf, and laughed awkwardly:

"Cough, sorry, cough cough."

But D.D raised the corner of his mouth and poked the police officer triumphantly:

"I think he heard it."

Cohen looked back in embarrassment, angrily:

"I know!"

Rolf snorted angrily and left the row.

Paralyzed.

Another self-righteous evil pen came from the prince's side.

Thinking so, he glanced at Wyah:

What, isn't one enough?

Thales rode on the horse and asked Huai Ya who was closest to him:

"How did you come back?"

"It's a long story." Huai Ya shook his head.

"Viscount Nieman is right. You are gone. We are insignificant to Dragon Clouds, so the Grand Duchess ordered us to go. Of course, the star meteorites were reluctant at the beginning, but they will go to war soon..."

"Piti Lai," Thales recalled his old friend:

"What about others?"

"Viscount Nieman left halfway," Wyah also remembered:

"Say he has other things to do."

Thales chuckled and shook his head.

"As always, mysterious."

Wyah cheered up:

"Anyway, once you leave Dragon Clouds City, it will be much easier..."

But Thales thought for a moment, remembering what he had seen at the royal banquet.

"Wait, according to Xiao Guo Gai, aren't you still stuck on the border between the two countries?"

The prince wondered:

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Wyatt shook his head:

"No, Your Highness, we returned to the stars two weeks ago, and stopped for a few days on the way,"

He was slightly puzzled:

"Small pot cover? Pot cover... Oh! You mean the son of Grand Duke Reconstruction Tower? Wasn't he sent by you?"

Thales was stunned.

"No, I didn't... wait a minute, let's stroke it."

Thales took a deep breath, recalling the Levi Trudida who came to him for help at the royal banquet and only asked to stay by his side for five minutes.

That little pot lid.

"So, on your way home, you did meet Levi Trudida, the son of the Grand Duke of the Tower of Reconstruction, right?"

Wyatt recalled it carefully.

"Yes. We met him a few weeks ago, and he paid our board and lodging bills, let us eat and drink before we go on our way - he claimed that you entrusted the Grand Duchess of Selma, and the Grand Duchess entrusted him , came to condolences to us on the way."

The attendant questioned:

"Is not it?"

Thales smoothed Jenny's mane and frowned:

"no."

"Actually, Levi met me for the first time last night... He told me that you were stuck at the border between the two countries by the Black Sand Leader, and he was trying to mediate. First, he will report your safety."

Thales slowly reacted:

"Is not it?"

Huai Ya shook his head severely:

"no."

Thales and Wyah were silent for a while.

"That's why you didn't entrust him to report to me."

"So he was not sent by you and the Grand Duchess."

After they figured it out, they both let out a sigh of relief.

"Levi Trudida."

"What a prince with empty gloves, he looks like his father," Thales recited the other party's name, remembering the other party's sly and flattering smile, and said indignantly:

"The routine is deep."

Huai Ya felt apprehensive:

"Sorry, did you...have you lost anything?"

Thales stroked Jenny's neck, sullenly:

"Yes, a few slices of lettuce, a few minutes of chat time, and the resume of 'I talked and laughed with Prince Thales'."

Huai Ya looked bewildered.

But the prince was relieved immediately:

"Fair enough, because I don't really want to help him at all."

Thales couldn't help laughing lowly when he thought of Levi running at both ends and playing with poor information.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

After experiencing the joy of reunion, Huai Ya was as serious as ever, and worried: "We heard that you were made a duke, but there was an accident at the banquet..."

Thales waved his hand indifferently.

"It's okay," the prince said in relief, "You know, my banquet, if nothing happens..."

He shrugged, and said the next sentence in his heart:

Then my name is Thales?

Wyatt lowered her head slowly.

"Your Highness," the attendant said sadly:

"I'm very sorry."

"I couldn't stay by your side, guarding around."

Thales looked at him like this, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"No, actually, you've helped me a lot."

The prince leaned over and patted his shoulder, and blinked his left eye:

"Especially your name."

Huai Ya looked up, confused.

Thales didn't give any further explanations, intending to leave the meaning of these words to Wyatt himself.

The prince raised his eyebrows and remembered one thing.

"By the way, Ada, where is she?"

Wyatt shook his head:

"I don't know. The first second we stepped into Eternal Star City, she disappeared. Uncle Gernard told us not to be nervous. Worrying about her is better than worrying about ourselves."

"Actually, with Ms. Ada's temperament, I am very surprised that she was able to walk with us safely along the way..."

It was indeed Edda.

Thales sighed:

"That's because without you, she would be lost."

Huai Ya thought for a while, then suddenly realized.

"It's okay," Thales pouted at Glover and the others:

"It can get done without her."

"I see, your guard has been upgraded," Wyatt looked at Glover who was still vigilant, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes:

"Especially this guy, I can feel that he is very powerful."

"Yes," Thales turned his head, looked at Doyle, Kong Mutuo and others, and sighed:

"I have my own royal guard,"

Although the problems are scattered, although the leader likes to fight against me, although he can't protect himself now...

"But with my attendant not around, something is always missing."

Thales patted Wyatt on the shoulder, and the fighting spirit was rekindled in the latter's eyes.

"Of course, they are just guards, but I am a servant, we are different." Huai Ya was full of confidence.

"Ah," Thales held the reins again, and he looked towards the Fuxing Palace, which was getting closer and closer:

"Of course you are."

Glover, who was walking silently, suddenly felt something strange. When he turned his head, he saw the young man who had just hugged the prince, looking at him with burning eyes.

The heroic young man extended his hand in a friendly way:

"I am Huaiya, the attendant of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Glover stared at the opponent's hand vigilantly. Two seconds later, he tentatively reached out and shook Wyah.

"Karen Glover,"

"Royal Guard—Xinghu Guard, first-class vanguard officer."

Wyatt smiled:

"thank you."

Glover responded with a puzzled look.

"When the prince returns home, it seems that the dust has settled and the scenery is boundless."

"However, those of us who have been with His Highness for many years know that there are countless hidden dangers behind this." Wyatt looked at Thales who was thinking deeply on his mount: "He needs more helpers."

But he looked at D.D and sighed:

"But see you today, the people around him... you are the one who seems more reliable."

Glover looked pale.

It seems that there are still normal people around His Highness.

But he paused briefly.

"Wait, you said, your name is Wyah?"

Huai Ya solemnly said:

"Exactly."

Glover's expression was a bit strange: "Is it just Wyah?"

"No...other name?"

"My name is Wyah Castle, if that's what you mean."

Glover was stunned.

"Oh, so, you are the real Wyah."

Wyah was taken aback:

"sorry?"

"It's okay, it's just..." Glover glanced at Thales' back:

"His Highness often... talks about you."

Wyah glanced at Thales who was on the horse, with special feelings.

"We were supposed to accompany His Highness around and protect him. But we failed to fulfill our responsibilities, and we got ourselves into trouble, which became a burden."

"But His Highness not only never blamed, but also cared about our safety."

Wyatt sighed:

"How can I repay this kindness?"

But after saying this, Wyah vaguely felt: Glover looked at his face, it seemed even weirder.

"You... have already reported it."

Huai Ya was puzzled for a while: "Why?"

"Because your name is Wyah." The zombie replied briefly.

Wyatt was stunned again.

"Strange," the attendant was a little puzzled:

"Your Highness seems to have said the same thing, does my name have any meaning?"

Glover coughed.

"It's okay, it's just that you'd better not go to Hongfang Street."

"Why?"

"Because your name is Wyah."

Huai Ya only became more and more confused.

Until D.D's voice cut in:

"Oh my brother Wyatt, don't pay attention to him, just ask me about the royal guards, especially the guards who defend the country—hiss!"

Wyatt turned around in astonishment, only to see Doyle with teary eyes approaching him.

"This...Danny, you...what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay," Doyle pressed his back, crying, "it's just...my back hurts."

"Back?" Huai Ya was surprised.

D.D took a breath, and looked like a coquettish woman waiting for Jun Xi: "You know, there was a banquet last night, this, hehe, work injury, occupational risk..."

Banquet, work injury, back pain?

Huai Ya's expression became more and more mysterious.

But Doyle looked lonely at Glover, who was already looking very ugly:

"By the way, Glover, you, your back also hurts, right?"

The zombie turns his head indifferently:

"No, I can handle it."

"Actually, you don't have to be brave," D.D sighed weakly:

"It's all the fault of Officer Majors, he moved too hard on us both... Ah, back, I think I'm going to split..."

"If we knew this, we shouldn't have done that last night..."

Glover froze.

Huai Ya looked strange:

"What... what did you do last night?"

Doyle raised his head with a bitter but relieved smile:

"It's okay, it's just me and Glover... It's just a whim between us."

He looked at the zombie with crystal clear eyes:

"Is that so, Glover?"

Impulse.

Huai Ya's eyes became more and more strange.

Glover was stunned and wanted to explain, but in the end he just snorted angrily and stepped forward.

D.D who stayed behind raised his hand and laughed:

"Hey, it's just a joke!"

"Don't be so mean!"

Glover gritted his teeth, looked at D.D, and then at Cohen who was giggling with Willow on the other side.

really.

Lillian is right:

The evil pens in the world belong to the same family.

It's all fucking related.

Behind Thales, other people are also trying to get to know each other and run in new teammates, such as Kong Mutuo and Gernard who are touting each other.

Kongmuto patted Genard on the shoulder and praised:

"Looking at your posture, you have served in the military!"

Genard gave a thumbs up:

"Looking at your habits, you are obviously a professional bodyguard!"

Kongmuto shook his head modestly:

"Excessive awards and awards, mere lack of talent, once belonged to the Inner City Police Department..."

Genard said politely:

"Where is it, I just worked in both the Starlight Legion and the City Defense Team..."

"Wow, the famous Xinghui Legion! So you are a veteran, a war hero!" Kong Mutuo's eyes lit up.

"Tsk tsk, the police officers in the inner city are responsible for the protection of important people and internal supervision, and even the city defense teams in each department are under their control..." Genard felt sincerely.

"It's all rumored by outsiders, just dawdling... By the way, how did you go to the north to follow His Highness?" Kong Mutuo asked curiously.

"What a hero, I can't bear to look back... How did you change from a police officer to a royal guard?" Genard asked politely.

Kongmuto waved his hands humbly:

"Hey, luckily, six years ago, we were honored to crack a series of corruption cases in the Dongcheng District City Defense Team, and I was recommended..."

Genard laughed at himself and shook his head:

"Well, it's unlucky to say that six years ago, when I was still in the Dongcheng District City Defense Team, I was framed for corruption and bribery, and I was implicated..."

Speaking of this, the smiles of Genard and Kong Mutuo froze.

They turned their heads at the same time, staring at each other in astonishment.

A few seconds later, the two turned their heads mechanically and stiffly, and the conversation was completely silent.

In this way, the newly assembled group of people chattered, whether they were busy or tidy, or they were adapting or unwell, and they rode forward around the center of Thales, attracting the eyes of countless people along the way. .

It looked like a group of stragglers.

Thales was riding on the horse, swaying around, but he had a vague illusion:

They were just like six years ago, the hastily formed mission, they didn't even know each other, they all set off hastily, treading the snow and going north, to the unknown road ahead.

And now...

Thales looked deeply at Fuxing Avenue and at the Fuxing Palace at the end of it, not knowing what to think.

"Your Highness," Wyatt sighed:

"Maybe you don't know what it means to us to return to the stars, return to Eternal Star City, and meet you again."

Thales turned around:

"oh?"

"It feels like," Wyah looked at the familiar street and sky, and his tone became brisk: "It seems that the journey is over, and the hard work is no longer there."

"And we can rest."

Thales was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth in embarrassment.

"Um, about that, Wyah..."

"Right now, it may not be possible to rest."

Can't rest.

Huai Ya's expression froze slightly.

"Your Highness, are you sorry?"

Thales took a deep breath, and looked seriously at the attendant who had followed him for six years:

"Wiya, do you trust me?"

"When—" Wyatt wanted to nod subconsciously, but stopped half way up.

"No, Your Highness, I have learned, I have a bad feeling, the last time you asked me that..."

Wyah recalled Thales' "brilliant deeds" in the Northland, first frightened and then suspicious:

"You sent me to - Charmain Rumba."

This name attracted the attention of the companions, and most of them turned their heads to look at the prince.

Thales' smile froze slightly.

"Say it straight, Your Highness, you..."

Huai Ya looked at the smiling prince hesitantly.

"What do you want to do again?"

Thales exhaled and smiled wryly.

"Yeah, I, I'm sorry, you have gone through a lot of hardships to return to Eternal Star City..."

"I shouldn't have involved you..."

But Huai Ya looked at the prince's appearance, his vigilant expression suddenly relaxed, and he lowered his head and smiled.

"Forget it, Your Highness, you are right," Huai Ya raised his head in relief, and said with a wry smile:

"You are you after all, if nothing happens..."

He didn't continue, but with a serious expression, he hit his chest with a fist: "No matter what you want to do..."

"This life, this body, is for you to drive."

"I will die for you without hesitation."

Thales was a little embarrassed by this, and he twitched the corners of his mouth.

It's not... not so much.

"Furthermore," Huai Ya let go of his fist, as if he had dropped a big rock:

"We are the ones who followed you and rolled through the sea of ​​swords and flames in Dragon Clouds City."

Wyah smiled brightly:

"There is nothing in this world that can scare us."

At that moment, Thales fell into silence with mixed feelings.

The boy raised his head:

"real?"

Wyah looked at Rolf and pouted his chin.

The ghost with the wind looked coldly and made a forward gesture.

Thales smiled tacitly and looked at the others.

"Wherever you are, we will go." Genard bowed deeply, causing Willow who was beside him to also bow nervously.

"The royal guards will go through fire and water for you." Kong Mutuo said with a loyal face.

Thales nodded.

D.D looked left, right, and cleared his throat.

"You are His Highness, we should listen to you, it's true."

Doyle's emotions were agitated at first, and then slowly settled down:

"But you also saved my family."

He patted the horse's belly with great emotion:

"Not every Highness can not 'give up his pawns'."

Jenny turned her head and hissed ferociously, scaring Doyle, who was brewing up feelings, and immediately withdrew his hands.

"You have listened to my story, Your Highness," Glover was silent for a while amidst the laughter of the crowd, and then slowly opened his mouth:

"I should listen to you too."

Thales looked at him deeply:

"Thank you."

"Uh, that, I, you said it," Cohen saw everyone's eyes rushing towards him, he was very nervous, tangled for a long time, and then popped out an inexplicable word:

"Don Quixote? Charge?"

Except for Glover, everyone else was stunned and looked at Cohen with the eyes of a fool.

Thales snorted and laughed heartily.

But yes.

The boy took a deep breath and sat up straight.

Don Quixote.

"Very good," the second prince said solemnly:

"Listen everyone: we are going to the Fuxing Palace now."

Huai Ya tightened his single-edged sword, and replied calmly:

"Of course, what do you want us to do?"

Thales didn't answer right away.

His eyes were straight ahead, and he moved forward along the Fuxing Avenue until he hit the dark and deep pyramid.

That is the Fuxing Palace.

It's a trap.

It is also his windmill.

At that second, Thales raised the corners of his mouth and spoke softly:

"rebellion."

In an instant, including Cohen, the originally talking and laughing team suddenly fell silent.

But the streets are still bustling with people coming and going, full of the smoke and fire of citizens' life.

It was in contrast to the dead silence of this small team.

It seems like a century has passed.

"Conspiracy, conspiracy..."

Wyatt's hoarse voice came out with difficulty, but he still couldn't make a sentence.

In the atmosphere where everyone was silent, Thales, who was on the horse, turned his head.

"Tell me."

The setting sun was golden, and against the background of the Grand Renaissance Palace behind him, the young Duke had a clear smile and a calm attitude:

"What does it feel like to be a king?"

No one answered him.

Only the black horse Jenny, who is ignorant of the world, neighed provocatively, still taking her small steps, responding to the owner's caress.

happy and excited.

Journey into the unknown.
