Kingdom’s Bloodline
Chapter 5: The Iron Fisted King (Part 1)
"Yeah."
After listening to Val's statement, Kessel's face was extremely complicated.
"But why is it you, you should be a noble person, a pure fighter, you have your own creed."
"Haha," Val laughed inexplicably, "Why can't it be me?"
Kessel paused, and looked sadly at the scar from Val's chest to his chin: "You used to be my most trusted friend and brother."
"We grew up together in the capital, and we are the best partners, the closest brothers, even better than brothers like Midil."
"We even agreed to marry each other's sister."
"Enough." Val raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of anger: "You must not mention Lisia and Constance, you are not worthy."
With a twitch in Thales' heart, Licia Arend and Constance Canxing appeared in front of his eyes—the lonely high priest and the small stone urn.
The king looked sad: "I know you hate me, but I think it's all because of Li Xiya—as a lord, you are still loyal to me and to the stars, and the creed in your heart is still noble and inviolable."
"Isn't it? I do hate you, but," the Duke of the Northern Territory who betrayed the Northern Territory said angrily, "Everything I do is for the stars!"
The king narrowed his eyes: "What?"
Val Arend stepped out of the queue of officials, his eyes determined:
"If I can succeed—as long as I pay a small price, a short bloodshed, the stars and dragons, the shield and blade of Xilu will turn a new page."
"In the era of the ancient empire, Arend was the supreme family that ruled the northern provinces, and Lombard was the bloodline descendant of Queso Lombard, the uprising king who rebelled against the tyrant. Rooting in the middle, but if a deadly enemy like us can reconcile, what is impossible?"
Thales sighed.
No, you are not a reconciliation, but an exchange of interests.
Val took a step forward and looked around the crowd frantically: "The contradictions and hatred between the two countries will be overshadowed by the heroic friendship and loyal cooperation between Luba and me! The blood of the two countries, our sons and daughters will enter into a marriage contract , their heirs will inherit the Kingdom of Stars and Exeter at the same time——Stars and Dragons, two great nations merged into one, think about it, the blood of the heroes of the northern dragons is poured into the descendants of the great empire! "
Val excitedly said: "We may not be able to reproduce the glory of the empire, but we will definitely eliminate the flames of war in the northern border - the flames of war will never reignite, and disasters like the bloody year will never happen again! The northern border will forever enjoy Peace!"
"Fuck your peace." Count Zemuto spat hard.
Val ignored it and clenched his right fist: "Even further: a new power will stand in the West Continent. We will hold a shield in one hand and a blade in the other, pointing at the Commas Alliance, carve up the land of those merchants, and benefit ourselves—— After breaking the balance of power among the three powerhouses in Westland, the rest will be nothing to worry about, and Westland will soon return to unity."
"So," the Duke of the North gritted his teeth and looked around at the nobles and officials: "This is all for the stars, for it not to suffer disasters, for its ultimate strength, and for the eternal peace between the stars and the dragon."
Thales frowned.
Baron Russell coughed and said awkwardly: "About this, I thought..."
"boom!"
King Kessel V hit the left gauntlet with a punch!
"Shut up, people from Exeter, we will settle our accounts later." The High King's voice was powerful, and he said without a doubt: "Now it is the internal affairs of the stars."
Russell was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to speak.
The king stood up slowly, facing Val condescendingly.
"For the stars?"
King Kessel V had a rare beard and hair on his face, with an angry expression on his face: "The king and vassals who betrayed themselves,
This is for the stars? Selling the land and people in the north, is this for the stars? For the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to bring bloody wars, but was this also for the sake of the stars? "
"Kessel Bright Star."
Val Arend clenched his fists and faced the king.
"Do you think you are nobler than me?" Val trembled, as if he was suppressing his emotions: "You, the Canxing family, are not right to point fingers at me!"
The next second, he roared out of composure: "You Canxing royal family are the biggest source of disaster in this country! You are the ones who brought hell, the disaster that happened twelve years ago! Until now, we are still fighting for your Wrong atonement!"
Thales clenched his fists involuntarily, while all the people in the hall looked at the king in unison, many with strange expressions on their faces.
The king tightly closed his eyes: "The Year of Blood?"
"The Year of Blood? Ha! The Year of Blood!" Val smiled desolately, raised his hands and clenched them into fists.
The doubts in Thales' heart were getting bigger and bigger. He looked at Gilbert: What is the ulterior but crucial secret in the bloody year?
Val said indignantly: "After that disaster, everyone only remembers that the Canxing royal family was slaughtered, and that there was only an orphan left in Tebaker's family! Who will remember the dedication and sacrifice of our northern border!"
The fifteen-year-old Duchess Lyanna took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Who will remember how much blood, how many corpses, how many widows and orphans were left behind when Exeter's soldiers plowed through our land!"
"Who would remember that when the Bloody Year ended and the whole country celebrated the "Fortress Peace Treaty", almost three-quarters of the men and one-half of the women in the northern border died! Go out to look for food in the cold winter, otherwise you will starve to death at home, and half of the people who go out to look for food will freeze to death in the wild!"
"The first thing I do when I assume the title of Guardian Duke of the North is not to help them find food, but to rebury those who have starved to death or frozen to death, otherwise their bodies will be too hungry to walk The hungry people on the road dig it up and eat it!"
"Have you ever seen that kind of scene, young master of the capital!"
"Who would remember that my father refused to surrender after the cold castle was breached, and his head was hung in front of the gate of the cold castle for a whole month! When I untied him...and I went in and out of myself every day castle, will see that damned gate!"
"Prince Horace, the light-tracking sword, went deep into Exeter's siege, brave and unyielding, fought to the death, suffered eleven wounds, and died heroically-what an honor! But who would know, my brothers, Aya Lund's sons will guard him closely until death! Rohan, Kur, and Nolan Nur!"
"Prince Star's body was solemnly carried back to the capital, and beside him, my brothers were chopped into flesh by Exeter's knives and axes! The sticky minced meat covered with mud and flesh, fish it back and bury it!"
"Who remembers them!"
"My sister and his wife's carriage disappeared in the wilderness, and I haven't heard from them for twelve years. I have had countless nightmares about them—God knows what happened to them!"
"How dare you say that I only have one daughter as the heir? Why do you think I sent my seven-year-old daughter to the Tower of the End? Is it to train her to be the heir? Shit! I sent my daughter to the Tower of the End— I was afraid that when I was not around, Miranda would be eaten alive by the starving people who turned over the ruined castle!"
King Kessel V tightly closed his eyes, and many people in the hall recalled those years and couldn't help lowering their heads.
Val trembled and said: "After going through such a hell, the desert war five years ago, you, Kessel Canxing, how dare you think that our army is small? You think our army is not as strong as five years ago! We don't even have enough cavalry for five stormtroopers!"
"You think the person I hate is you? Do you think I hate you for not marrying my sister? Hate that you failed her and made her a priest who never married?"
"No!"
"It's Canxing I hate! It's your damn family!"
"All the disasters are caused by your delusional idiot father, your uncle who takes rudeness as humor, your gloomy eldest brother Wang, your self-righteous, arrogant and useless brothers, it is You are born with the blood of an imperial tyrant, the fault of the High King!"
"It's this, the Canxing family who are always involved in disasters, brought the year of blood to the stars, brought such a hell!"
disaster?
To get involved with disaster...?
Thales was startled, and subconsciously looked at Gilbert beside him.
But the latter just pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Do you think you are some kind of tragic monarch? A star royal family with only one person left? No!" Val roared frantically, "The only thing you care about is yourself, your will, and your world! Do you think that you Why have you come to this day? Everything you did in the bloody year is your own fault!"
"Just like your damn father, you and he both know what your choices will bring, but you never care!"
"You have never understood your vassals, you have never cared about your subjects, you have never cared about the people around you-the iron-handed king! Don't you find it ironic when they call you that-you are not an iron-handed man at all. Cold-blooded!"
Val, who was at the peak of his emotions, roared in desolation and despair:
"Sariton and Shadow Shield, why don't we kill you all at once!"
"If you didn't bring that monster back..."
The king suddenly opened his eyes and shouted:
"enough!"
Kessel looked excited and angrily rebuked Arend:
"watt!"
"You are still as stupid, as stupid, and as stubborn as before!"
"You stupid blunt piece of wood, you don't know anything!"
Val gasped, staring blankly at the king.
"Guards," the king sat down slumped, and said wearily, "Take Duke Arend to the dungeon."
