Chapter 76 Who Is Here (Part 1)(2/2)
"you are wrong!"
Olesiu stopped.
"Just because His Majesty Nunn is still sane..." Thales' voice came from behind him:
"Charmaine Lombard is destined to become the next king."
"And I, myself, am not as safe as you said, so this conversation is going to happen between us."
"Are you talking about the same old tricks again?" Olesiu sighed: "My dislike for you will only..."
The second prince did not give him a chance to speak.
"The key is not how good my words are, but whether it is related to your interests." Taylor's eyes reappeared with perseverance and stability: "It is related to the interests of Welland."
"Listen to what I have to say."
"Then make your own choice."
Alessio frowned.
"The next words I will only speak to you." Thales looked at Alessiu, his two followers who were strong, sharp-eyed, and obviously had extraordinary skills.
Archduke Olesiu narrowed his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Why, are you still afraid that a child will assassinate you?" Thales sneered: "Or, do you want to go back early and drink two more glasses of wine with your four good colleagues?"
Seeing the foreign prince in front of him who looked young but spoke mature words, Archduke Olesiu felt a strange sense of absurdity in his heart.
After a few seconds, the Grand Duke laughed and asked his entourage to walk away.
Thales secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At his signal, Huaiya, the prince's attendant, nodded and left solemnly.
The brazier in the corridor was burning brightly, and two figures, one large and one small, faced each other quietly in the dark.
"Tell me, according to your theory, how can Lumba become the king?" Olesiu didn't look at Thales. He nonchalantly reached out to the brazier and toasted his frozen hands.
"I was assassinated in front of Broken Dragon Fortress," Thales said with an indifferent expression, getting straight to the point: "The murderer wanted to blame Lumba."
Grand Duke Olesiu pouted and raised his eyebrows: "I heard something."
"It's a pity that he didn't succeed," Olesiu said disdainfully: "Whether it was to kill you or to frame Lumba."
Thales ignored Oresio's hostility and continued: "This made Lombard realize that an enemy was secretly reaching out to him, and his situation at home was not good."
"Lumba is a strong man, this is nothing to him." Archduke Olesiu said expressionlessly.
"For this reason, Lomba proposed to form an alliance with me to fight our enemies together," Thales still didn't care about the other party's words. He was like a robot in his previous life, explaining the truest facts without any emotion or color.
:
"He provided me with all the resources I need in Longxiao City in exchange for the help of a future king of the stars."
At this moment, Olesiu curled up the corners of his mouth and laughed awkwardly.
"A promise made by a seven-year-old brat who has not yet put on the crown - Rumba is stupid to form an alliance with you. He just changed his position temporarily because there is no hope of attacking the stars." The Grand Duke moved the hand that was warming to the fire to the back of his hand: "
And that doesn't make him king."
"Of course." Thales said coldly.
"That's all?" Olesiu snorted: "How are you going to help him become the king? Send a notice to support him?"
At this moment, Thales's face changed: "But this is not Rumba's plan!"
In a calm tone for more than ten seconds, he suddenly raised his voice:
"I'm not the one who can help him become king."
Olesiu's eyes moved and he shifted his gaze from the brazier to Thales again.
"Of course he knows that my value is not that great! Except for the sign called 'Star', I am worthless!" Thales sighed: "But believe me... I followed him in his military camp.
Once I met him, he was definitely not an idiot."
"Humph, I know him better than you do." Olesiu clenched his fists on the brazier and said indifferently: "Twelve years ago, he ruthlessly nailed his brother to the ground in the duel field.
At that time, I was there to witness it with my own eyes.”
Thales took a deep breath and nodded: "He just pretended to form an alliance with me. In fact, I guess he has other plans."
"And he's about to do it."
Olesiu frowned with his thoughts between his brows and carefully looked at Thales in front of him.
"Go ahead, kid," Olesiu sighed and said impatiently, "Very good, you successfully caught my attention."
Thales was stunned.
This line... seems to have been heard somewhere?
Forget it, it's not important.
Thales took a deep breath.
"Nun," he heard himself say slowly in the calmest and most careful tone: "Charmaine Lombard, wants to cooperate with King Nun."
"Alliance with Walton, the Dragonlance family, and Longxiao City."
A few seconds passed.
"Hahahahaha!" Olesiu burst into wild laughter.
He tilted his head with a nonchalant expression on his face.
Thales just stared at him quietly.
Alessiu put down his hands that were warming up to the fire, clasped them together, and said with a cold gaze: "Is this your guess? I thought you were just good at using gimmicks, but I didn't expect that you are also good at creating gimmicks!"
"I saw with my own eyes that Lumba was trying to contact Longxiao City!" Thales replied coldly.
"Impossible!" Olesiu put away his smile and said resolutely: "Rumba is suspected of murdering Prince Morar. It is a blood feud. His Majesty Nunn will not cooperate with him."
"Why do we want to avenge our blood relatives?"
Thales quickly caught up with his words and retorted with cold eyes: "For justice to be done? No."
"It is so that our family will no longer suffer similar violations, it is to give the most severe warning to the enemy, and it is for the ultimate continuation and prosperity of the family."
Alessio frowned.
"For this goal, everything can be abandoned." Thales nodded slowly: "Including hatred and honor."
"King Nun has not lost his mind...that's what you said." Looking at the archduke's expression of deep doubt, the second prince said calmly: "Walton has lost its last direct heir, but it is not dead yet, Nun
The king will not let it perish."
"It was Lomba who made the first move. He targeted Longxiao City and killed the other party's only heir. Trust has disappeared." Olesiu was still shaking his head. "If you want to find an ally, it can't be Nunn."
Your Majesty—Rumba will not look for trouble on his own."
"You just said that you know Lumba better than I do. Do you know whether he has the courage to risk reconciliation with his enemies for the sake of profit?" Thales calmly countered the Grand Duke's words: "Don't forget, several years ago, the North of the Stars
The Duke of Realm, Val Arlend, wore a hood and made an alliance with Lombard...and Arlend and Lombard were feuding."
Archduke Olesio took a deep breath.
"Also, you saw that we were acting, didn't you?" Thales saw the wavering in the other party's eyes and continued to throw out the bait he had prepared:
"Why do you think Lumba sent an army to escort me to Longxiao City so solemnly? Do you think His Majesty Nuen really let his white-blade guards set off early to 'tie' me to Longxiao City out of anger and anger?
Are you from Xiaocheng?"
Olesiu was slightly startled.
"That was indeed a show!" Thales tightened his face and sped up his speech, making his voice sound more urgent and excited: "Let's show it to all of you! See how His Majesty's anger burns.
Get up."
"To confuse you and conceal his deepest purpose."
"But it is not to prevent the war between stars and dragons, or to prevent the Black Sand Territory or the Grand Dukes of the South from gaining benefits in the war."
"But for the alliance between Longxiao City and Black Sand Territory."
Grand Duke Olesio closed his mouth and exhaled deeply, as if thinking.
"During those few days, God knows what Nikolai from Longxiao City and Cambida from the Black Sand Territory were talking about in the tent!" Thales sighed: "We only saw them outside the tent.
The situation is tense."
"But I can probably guess it." Thales heard his tone return to calmness, and saw Olesiu's eyes gradually becoming deeper.
"The Walton family is destined to decline," the second prince sighed lightly: "After the death of His Majesty Nunn, Walton will even face annihilation after the next king election."
"So, he must place his bet on a powerful Grand Duke, a future king - even if this person is suspected of murdering his son."
Olesiu turned around and looked at the moonlight outside the window.
Thales slowly closed his mouth.
He was waiting for Olesio's response.
This is the Grand Duke’s own battle.
