Noble Emblem

For most people, the royal battle is a distant thing, more of a conversation piece, and a pastime after drinking and dining. But for the nobles, the royal battle directly determines their future.

If you stand in line and fight openly and secretly, you will get greater benefits if you succeed. If you fail, there will be consequences.

Emma understood that her father's health was getting worse and worse, and both the eldest and second brothers were determined to win that position. Her prophecy only told her father's lifespan, but did not tell her whether the eldest brother or the second brother would get the throne.

They are three brothers and sisters, all of whom have the same father and mother.

The king had four wives. When the king was young and still a prince, his first wife was killed by his opponent during the fight for the throne, along with the unborn child in her belly.

The second wife had just become the queen and shortly after giving birth to the eldest prince, she was assassinated by an enemy assassin.

After the third wife helped the king give birth to the second prince, she contracted the life curse and died.

The fourth wife, the current queen, gave birth to a little princess for the king, Emma.

Because of their half-mother relationship, the relationship between the three brothers and sisters is not very good. Although Emma and the second prince have a pretty good relationship, there is still some distance between them and the brother-sister relationship in an ordinary family. As for the eldest prince, although he was very polite on the surface, in reality, both Emma and the second prince knew very well that the eldest prince had no brotherly or brotherly affection for either of them.

Emma is not interested in the position of king, but no matter what, as long as she stays in the royal city, she will definitely become a variable. Not to mention that she is a master spellcaster, this is a very powerful strategy. Moreover, the country of Holevin has never had a queen.

In the eyes of those who are interested, this is a hidden threat.

Emma has read a lot of history books and she knows it well. How cruel is the battle for the throne.

She took the queen's hand and asked worriedly: "Mother. What will you do if I leave?"

"I want to stay here to take care of your father." The queen said calmly: "After your father leaves, I will go back to your territory to avoid the limelight. I don't care how they fight or rob you."

Although it was said that her husband was going to die, the queen did not show any discomfort on her face. This was not because she was heartless. But I have already been mentally prepared.

The king was more than thirty years older than her, and she was a typical young married woman. The day the queen married into the royal family, she knew that a situation like this would happen.

Emma took the queen's hand and let out a long sigh. Both mother and daughter were strong people. Although their husband and father were obviously dying, they did not cry or complain.

In fact, Emma did not intend to stay in the palace for long. The queen's words just gave her an excuse to stay away from political disputes.

Then the mother and daughter started talking about home affairs again. For them, who spend less time together and more time apart, every second is a rare good time.

The eldest prince left the palace and returned directly to his manor. After drinking away the guards and maids. Two men in black appeared in his room, entering through teleportation.

The eldest prince stared at the spell caster. The space magician still had the paralyzed look on his face. Soon the eldest prince lost interest and shifted his gaze to the woman in black.

"Katie, you don't seem to be looking well?"

Facing the eldest prince's inquiry, Katie replied expressionlessly: "I didn't sleep well last night."

I have to say that this is a universal excuse that can explain many things. It depends on how you understand it. The eldest prince seemed to have thought about something. He shook his head and said, "Katy, it's inappropriate for you to do this. Although you don't like me, that's not the reason why you can indulge yourself."

Katie was expressionless: "First Prince, you think too much."

"Okay, even if I think too much." Seeing Katie's denial, the eldest prince showed a slight smile on his face, and then said: "I want you to come here this time because I have two tasks for you. The first one The first thing is that my sister is back, and I want to find someone to monitor her. The second thing is that my sister has brought back a man. Who can help me check his identity?"

The caster and Katie looked at each other, and then Katie said: "Let me check the origin of that man, the eldest prince, and see if I can give you his portrait."

"wait."

As the eldest prince spoke, he took a pen to draw on the paper. With just a few strokes, Liang Lidong's appearance and temperament were fully expressed.

Katie took it and took a look and said in a low voice: "This is the man who stopped us from assassinating Princess Emma in Winterwind City."

"Then there's no need to investigate." Upon hearing this, the eldest prince waved his hand: "Katy, please take people to kill him. Emma cannot be allowed to gain a foothold in the palace. Her followers must be eliminated. "

"The opponent is very strong, and I alone am no match." Katie shook her head and said, "He seems to have a special ability and can sense our killing intent, and this person is not a pure caster, he is a composite professional. He is also very capable in close combat."

The prince snorted: "It is impossible for composite professionals to reach the top level in terms of melee combat ability and magic. You were stopped by him mostly because you underestimated the enemy, but it doesn't matter. This time I will allocate ten The master will give you instructions, Katie, I hope you can get things done this time."

Katie shook slightly, saluted, and then left, walking very quickly.

The black-robed spellcaster bowed slightly and said: "Then I will monitor Princess Emma. If there is a chance, I will find a way to attack her."

Then there was a wave of spatial ripples, and the black-robed mage disappeared from the room.

The eldest prince walked to the balcony, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and laughed lowly. As a prince of nearly thirty years old, he knew that he was lucky. The throne was very close to him now, and he did not have to be like his father. That way, he can become a king when he is nearly fifty years old.

Of course, there would be some obstacles on the road to the throne, but he didn't see any problem with this.

If it is a stone, smash it. If it is a trap, pave it over. Just like what my father did thirty years ago. Brothers and sisters are just necessary experiences on the road to the throne.

When Liang Lidong woke up, he found that Kyle and Alice had not returned yet, so he ate something by himself and walked out of the hotel.

Waking asked him to come to this city to find the powerful soul who made the promise. Even if he was not very interested in it, he still had to try to find it. After all, it was a promise. Just agreeing without doing anything. not too good.

Liang Lidong was walking on the streets of Wangcheng. Without knowing where the target was, wandering around was the only option.

Fortunately, Woking left a message on that target, and it will be sensed as long as it is close to a certain range.

Although Wo Jin did not specify how big the range was, Liang Lidong guessed that it would not be too small. After all, Wo Jin was a goddess. Even though her strength had declined greatly now, she was still a goddess. This matter should not be a problem for her. .

It was already evening at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. Most people had already gone home to have dinner, but in half an hour, there would be more pedestrians on the street again.

The sunset is like blood, very beautiful. Liang Lidong walked aimlessly while admiring the surrounding scenery, but soon he stopped and looked to his left and right.

At some point, a few more people appeared in the surrounding alleys and under the trees. Liang Lidong discovered that these people were dressed exactly like the assassins they met not long ago.

These assassins had their faces covered and were hiding in the shadows. Ordinary people could not see them at all, but they were invisible under Liang Lidong's blood dragon eyes.

These people did not know that they had been discovered, and Liang Lidong pretended not to notice them and continued to wander on the street.

But soon, Liang Lidong changed his mind and started walking towards an assassin.

Because he found that this assassin exuded a faint golden light.

Golden divine light, this is Woking's signature divine color. If there is nothing wrong, this man in black should be the person Woking asked him to find, a person with a strong soul and willpower.

But he didn't expect that the man in black actually came to assassinate his enemy, but Watkin asked himself to save him.

Destiny is really funny. Liang Lidong suddenly felt like a supporting actor in a bloody drama at 8 o'clock, the kind who wouldn't survive three episodes.

After calming down, Liang Lidong walked towards the man with golden light on his body.

Except for Lidong Lidong, no one seemed to be even remotely surprised by the golden light coming from the man in black, so he guessed that only he could see the golden light.

The assassins are all very cautious people. When Liang Lidong walked towards them, these people were already on guard. When Liang Lidong was about twenty steps away from them, all these assassins Moved.

Without hesitation, they made a shocking move almost at the same time.

These assassins actually escaped. Also escaping with them was the man covered in golden light.

Liang Lidong naturally couldn't let the other party run away, so he hurriedly chased after him.

After Kati took over the task of the eldest prince, she felt faintly uneasy, but it was an emergency at this time, so she didn't care too much. But when she saw Liang Lidong cast his eyes on her face again, she immediately thought of a possibility.

The other party has discovered you again, run away.

Katie followed a man in black and ran like crazy. Then she looked back and was almost scared out of her mind because she saw the target clinging tightly to her behind. The distance is less than five meters.

The other man in black immediately fell to the ground and surrendered. Liang Lidong was not interested in him. Instead, he followed Katie. The distance between the two became closer and closer. (To be continued.)
