Noble Emblem

My father died in front of my eyes, my brothers and sisters who had been together day and night were killed and raped, and there must be very few people who escaped. The temple was burned down and my home was gone. ⊙, and all of this just stems from the struggle for the throne between two princes. This is a real loss of family life, and even the strongest people will feel resentful, not to mention that Sophie is only a minor girl.

She hated the two princes, and also hated Emma and the queen, who were also members of the royal family.

“I don’t want to share the stage with the wild dogs of the royal family.”

If this were said more than ten days ago, the queen would definitely be angry, but now the queen herself is considered to be dependent on others. She seems to have ignored Sophie's words and only eats the food on the table. Besides, as an adult, if she and A little girl with ordinary knowledge is too out of place.

But Emma does not have such a good temper. She has always been arrogant. Although she seems very gentle in front of Lidong, others may not be treated so well. Besides, she is very sensitive. She always feels that Sophie is the same as herself. He has ulterior thoughts about Beta.

"Who is the wild dog? You don't even have a home anymore, so you are the wild dog."

As soon as these words came out, which were almost like scolding a shrew, not to mention the queen, even Kyle and Alice were stunned. In their usual understanding, Emma is a saint, elegant and calm. She was beautiful, but they didn't expect that she could also curse, and it seemed quite unpleasant.

Kyle and Alice didn't understand, but the queen did. She understands her daughter's mentality at this time... Beta is too good, except for being mysterious, she tends to be perfect in every aspect. Such a man can easily attract women. She noticed it, and so did her daughter. This girl named Sophie also had a great liking for Beta.

Women can be elegant and calm at ordinary times, but if they meet other women who come to compete with them for men. Especially when she thinks she is the hostess, any woman will get angry, and most of the time she will angrily tear off her usual elegant disguise.

Women are no more civilized than men when they fight over feelings.

The queen continued to pretend not to hear. He continued to eat what looked like an ordinary breakfast in the bowl, but was actually delicious. She admires Beta more and more now. He obviously looks like a noble young master, but she didn't expect that his cooking skills are so good.

But as she ate, she quietly pricked up her ears. I want to see how the dispute between my daughter and Sophie goes. In her eyes, the two girls were clearly fighting over family and personal grudges, but in her opinion, they were actually fighting over men.

Emma's words "We have no family anymore" immediately aroused Sophie's anger. She opened her mouth to say something else, but Liang Lidong slammed the table and said angrily: "No matter what the quarrel is, let me eat. If If anyone speaks again, please put the bowl here for me immediately. Go out and stay outside."

Liang Lidong rarely got angry. In the eyes of outsiders, he had a good temper, but everyone knew that the more good-tempered a person was, the more serious his anger would be. When he slapped the table, not to mention the two girls who were arguing, even Kyle and Alice felt panicked.

In fact, part of this is due to the talent of 'aristocratic temperament'.

The two girls immediately shut up and sat back on their chairs, although they were still glaring at each other. But there was no such tense atmosphere as before.

The queen thought inwardly, thinking that Beta seemed to be very good at scenes like this where two women were quarreling.

Kyle was moved when he saw this scene, and he looked at Alice. Then I fell into deep thought.

Although the atmosphere was a bit weird, everyone still finished their breakfast. Although Sophie was still very sad in her heart, she was a professional after all, and her strength was not bad. Her control over her mind was much better than that of ordinary people, so she was able to endure her hatred for the royal family. Sharing the stage with Emma and the Queen.

Liang Lidong waited for everyone to finish eating, and then after the queen removed the dishes from the table, he asked: "Sophie, the second prince was sent away by you through the secret passage, right?"

Sophie's expression turned ugly when she thought of the second prince's hateful face. She glared at Emma hatefully and said, "Yes, I personally sent him away from the secret passage. That damn bastard, He actually didn't leave even a hundred people to help his father. If he had left some people behind, maybe..."

Liang Lidong waved his hand: "It's not that I favor the second prince. Almost all of the second prince's subordinates are cavalry. In that case, they will be killed without any chance to use their maneuverability. No matter how many people are left behind, it will be a disaster." The same ending. And this is your father, Archbishop Arnold's own choice, which has little to do with the second prince. Your enemy is not the second prince, nor Emma and the queen, but the eldest prince. He died, and the second prince came to power. , only then can your father's wish be realized, and his death be considered worthy."

Although Liang Lidong did not hear about the transaction between Arnold and the second prince, this did not prevent him from guessing that the temple was involved in the struggle for royal power. Anyone with a little political sense could guess what it wanted.

But some people couldn't guess. Kyle asked with a confused look on the side: "I feel that Archbishop Arnold doesn't like the second prince very much, why does he have to stay and help the second prince to marry him, and even have to stake the entire temple. "

Sophie's face darkened and she let out a long sigh.

Kyle is a very upright and good boy. He has rarely seen such things, so it is normal for him to not guess. Liang Lidong explained to him patiently: "The Cult of Hades is a very low-key sect, but Archbishop Aruode hopes to spread the glory of Hades, and it is a good idea to get the support of the king and nobles, so he and The second prince made a deal. If the second prince ascends to the throne and becomes king, he will support the missionary activities of the Hades in the country of Hollevin."

Kyle nodded, indicating that he understood. Alice looked at the brave boy lovingly. She liked Kyle's pure temperament.

"Since the second prince has come out of the royal city, we must find him first." Liang Lidong paused and said, "But now the second prince's situation is a bit uncertain. He was forced out of the royal city. Although there was no loss on the surface, But the reputation has been compromised, and the noble forces that were originally on the sidelines will be more inclined to side with the eldest prince. If the second prince has no back-up plan, then things will be difficult to handle."

…………

…………

The fact is just as Lidong said, now all the nobles in the royal city know about it.

The second prince was forced to escape from the royal city. In the eyes of caring people, this incident can have many special meanings.

The eldest prince was sitting on the throne in the council hall, listening to the commander with blood on his face reporting the battle situation last night to him. He listened quietly, nodding from time to time. Gradually, his originally angry face gradually relaxed.

The commander in charge of last night's operation kept his head down. A small part of the blood stains on his face and body belonged to the enemy, but most of them were his own. Although we encountered a strange spell caster last night and killed many soldiers, it did not affect the overall situation. Then they caught a coward from the Hades Cult and asked him to lead them through the secret passage and chased the second prince out of the city.

They thought they had captured the Second Prince's troops, but they were killed by the other side. Although their number was more than two of the Second Prince's, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was too strong in the plains and wilderness. They killed and injured half of the soldiers, leaving only fifty or sixty cavalry, and then let the other party fly away. .

This was a very failed battle, so the commander felt that he was dead, but he was not afraid if he died, because he was afraid that the eldest prince would implicate his family and tribe.

As a result, he heard the second prince laughing from above.

"Yes, well done. I have recorded your military exploits. I will assign another thousand-man infantry regiment to you. You continue to hunt down the traitor. Do you understand?"

This commander was born as a civilian. Although he was very talented in commanding small-scale wars, he did not know much about political considerations. He didn't know why he would be rewarded for defeating, but it did not hinder his joy of escaping from death: "Yes, Your Majesty the King, I will fight to the last drop of blood."

"Very well, let's go down and do some work."

The commander kowtowed heavily, then turned around and strode out of the council hall.

The eldest prince looked at the cronies around him, and finally his eyes fell on the two men, one tall and one short: "Edward, you go and lead four hundred cavalry, go to the countryside to scout, and find out the whereabouts of the rebels. Don't go up to fight, just stick to them." But, send someone to inform the commanders of other armies and ask them to contain them."

The short warrior shouted "The King is victorious", turned around and left the meeting hall.

"Alphonse, you will lead another 600 infantrymen to assist your brother. Even if you cannot capture the traitor, you must force him to run for his life from fatigue. Do you understand?"

The tall heavily armored warrior nodded and left the council hall.

After giving all these instructions, the eldest prince leaned on the back of the throne, looked at the blue cracked glazed ceiling of the council hall, and softly hummed a nursery rhyme... When he was a child, his father often hummed this song He remembered the nursery rhymes that lulled him to sleep very clearly.

He respected and loved his father very much, so he wanted to poison him even more, because his father planned to give up the throne to the second child, and even Emma had a chance, but the two brothers were excluded.

Why do Ignaz, who is of foreign descent, and Emma, ​​who is of commoner descent, qualify for the throne?

Everyone thought that the eldest prince's mother was assassinated by an enemy assassin, but the eldest prince knew very well that his mother was executed by his father... because his mother gave birth to a younger brother, and that younger brother was not of his father's blood.

At that time, the eldest prince was already twelve years old. He was unable to save his mother, but he secretly hid his younger brother. Then he joined forces with other relevant forces to bring a civilian baby over, and they managed to save his younger brother's life. .

Now that the situation was becoming more and more favorable to him, he decided that after he actually ascended the throne, he would take over his biological brother and give him a regent.

He let out a low, happy laugh as he thought about the day ahead. (To be continued.)
