The king's voice fell.

The meeting hall was silent, except for the crackling of the brazier and the breathing of everyone at different rates.

At that moment, almost everyone was shocked by the king's decision.

The silence lasted for five seconds.

Until a young male voice sounded weakly:

"What are you doing?"

Everyone's eyes were swept towards the stunned Prince of the Stars, Thales Bright Star, who was standing aside.

Among them was King Nun's meaningful look.

Putilai behind him coughed, and Thales, who was stunned, finally reacted. He awkwardly pulled the corners of his mouth and showed an "sorry" smile.

But at this time, no one cared about the foreign prince's gaffe.

"Your Majesty," the tall Grand Duke Ronnie stood up suddenly and said with a stern face what most people were thinking at this time: "You must reconsider your decision. This is not only related to your family's revenge, but to the entire Egypt.

Kuster’s future!”

The members of the royal council beside the king looked panicked, and the officer behind him, Lord Michael, changed his face several times. He tried to get close to King Nunn and say something in his ear, but the latter just waved his hand casually and said to the minister.

My words to Michael were stuck in my throat.

"This is my decision." The king whispered to his ministers.

At that moment, Thales suddenly felt that the old figure of King Nun overlapped with the strong figure in the Fuxing Palace.

Thales noticed that among the people in the audience, only two people's expressions remained unchanged: the leader of the White Blade Guards, Fallen Star, still had an expressionless face, while the owner of the dark room, Scarlet Witch Cassan, still had a kind and kind smile on his face.

As for the newly arrived chief priest of the Bright Moon Temple, Jewel Holm, Thales couldn't see her true face behind the veil at all.

"How old is King Nun this year?" Thales turned back and asked Putilai behind him in a low voice.

"Sixty-nine, if I remember correctly," the person who answered was the Marquis Shres Bermula next to Putilai. This guest from Camas also frowned deeply, looking worried:

"And Archduke Perfit has just turned thirty-three this year, which is when he is in the prime of his life - damn, our mining contract has just been signed."

"The development of the situation has gone beyond imagination. Be careful, Your Highness," the thin deputy star ambassador's expression kept changing: "If King Nun insists on a duel..."

Thales nodded with an ugly face, he knew what Putilai meant.

If King Nun died here.

The peaceful understanding between Canxing and Walton will lose its most important fulcrum.

But in Longxiao City, in Exeter, he, the Prince of the Stars, will become isolated and helpless.

And the attitude of the princes towards him...

Not to mention, Archduke Perfitt, who seemed to be full of hatred for him... Thales gritted his teeth.

The next moment, King Nun walked out of his seat, walked forward slowly, and smiled at the grand dukes.

"What's wrong, noble and proud Ronnie," King Nunn's old but powerful voice spread throughout the hall: "Are you worried that I, an old man, can't defeat young people?"

The long-haired Archduke Ronnie kept silent, but his slightly shaking head said everything.

"You can't say that what he said is unreasonable, Your Majesty," the jar-headed Archduke Trudida rubbed his right hand with a gloomy expression. He glanced at the still shocked Archduke Perfitt: "It's not like fighting for a woman with a young man.

It's the same thing, but fighting to the death in the duel field..."

"Do you know your age, Your Majesty?" Archduke Olesiu's words were more direct: "Even if you directly order him to be detained, it would be a hundred times better than what we are doing now... Do you know the consequences of doing this..."

"This is the consequence!"

Nunn suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily under the gaze of the whole hall: "This is the inevitable consequence when the Walton family is violated!"

Everyone in the hall was suddenly shocked.

Not good.

Thales watched their interaction with concern: Nunn VII, has been dominated by hatred and impulse?

The old king's angry eyes swept across the three grand dukes: "You know, if you provoke the Dragonlance family, you have to pay the price - Walton is willing to risk everything for revenge."

The three princes were speechless for a moment, their expressions changed, and they all turned their heads under the king's compelling gaze and stopped talking.

Like a lioness in a pride of lions, she bows her head to the head lion to show submission.

wrong.

Thales had some enlightenment, and he secretly thought: This is not just as simple as irrational revenge.

This is a warning.

From the king, from Longxiao City, from Walton.

"Haha," the oldest Grand Duke Lecco, who was sitting further away, smiled awkwardly: "Our king likes to joke a lot, doesn't he..."

King Nun turned his head and glanced at him.

Grand Duke Lecco's smile froze on his face unconsciously.

"joke?"

King Nunn snorted and walked slowly to Perfit, his eyes burning with infinite flames: "Tell me, Conkley Perfit, do I look like I'm joking?"

Everyone looked at the challenged Archduke Perfit.

"You, are you really crazy, dueling?" The young Grand Duke had a look of disbelief on his face. He trembled his lips, looked at the aging figure of King Nuen, and murmured: "For...even my own wealth and life...

…”

But King Nun quickly interrupted him.

"Then why are you so surprised?" The old king said coldly: "This is also your best chance - kill me, and you won't have to face all this, and all the charges will disappear."

Perfit was shocked and raised his head to look directly at King Nun.

"Of course," Nunn sneered, his eyes filled with hatred: "You can also admit defeat at the beginning of the duel and then admit your crime."

Without waiting for Perfit to respond, the king turned around and looked at the remaining four grand dukes.

"And isn't this the result you most hope for?" King Nun was like an angry dragon, he said loudly, "If I die here..."

The expressions of the several princes were stunned.

"You can save those overt and covert methods, right?"

King Nun looked around the audience and laughed loudly: "And it's time for Exeter to hold the King Selection Meeting again. It may be too hasty..."

"But the opportunity for you to ascend the throne and command the whole country," the old king narrowed his eyes slightly, "isn't it just around the corner?"

None of the Grand Dukes spoke, and almost everyone remained motionless, only breathing heavier.

"Of course, you are the king," Grand Duke Ronnie sighed: "Your choice."

King Nun responded with a majestic laugh, then turned around and looked at the chief priest of the Bright Moon Temple:

"Priest Holm?"

The officiant under the veil nodded slightly, and she raised her arms in an extremely solemn manner, with her left hand supporting her right elbow, and her right hand with the palm up, as if she was holding a plate.

Priest Holm closed his eyes and lowered his head.

Everyone closed their mouths and looked at the actions of the officiant seriously.

At this moment, a strange tinnitus sounded in Thales' ears.

Thales was shocked.

He has experienced this feeling.

That was in the Hall of Stars, in front of Priest Li Xia of the Sunset Temple, and before the Bloodline Ceremony.

But this time it felt much better, at least, he didn't react as violently as last time.

Could it be that...the prayers and rituals related to the gods will have an impact on him?

But just when he maintained his composure on the surface and secretly rejoiced, amidst the faint tinnitus...

"I'm watching you."

Thales raised his head suddenly.

But all I saw was an empty ceiling.

What?

He turned his head in surprise and looked around, only to see that everyone in the audience was seriously waiting for the officiant's ceremony to end.

Behind them, Putilai and Shless also looked solemn.

No one spoke.

Just now... Thales rubbed his head in confusion and looked around. With no results, he could only blow out a sigh of relief.

Well, tinnitus is a disease and needs to be treated...

"I warned you."
