Chapter 3 Bloody Stars (1)(2/2)

Or is it that the Star King Vein, which has been passed down from the ancient empire for nearly three thousand years, is indeed something extraordinary?

Or maybe it's his other half...

Thinking of this, Gilbert frowned slightly.

But this worthy nobleman still bowed slightly.

"Tales, dear young gentleman, please allow me to call you this for the time being."

"You are 7 years old this year. On the evening of July 25, 665, you were born in the Mann Manor on the outskirts of Yongxing City, the capital of the Star King." Gilbert said calmly:

"Your biological mother is an aristocratic lady whose name cannot be disclosed. She died of hemorrhage during childbirth. Before her death, she named you Thales after a star."

Thales frowned slightly.

"You grew up in Mann Manor under the secret care of the Bright Star family. Another palace lady and I will visit you from time to time."

"During this period, you have been growing up as a child adopted by Lord Mann when he was hunting, and you do not know your identity."

"Last December, Lord Mann died in battle on the western desert border. Because he had no heirs, his property and territory were taken back by the royal family. At the same time, I will take you back to Mindis Hall in the Evening Star District."

Thales was silent and listened to this narrative.

"And next month," Gilbert squeezed the book in his hand, "as the illegitimate son of King Kessel V, the orthodox member of the Star Royal Family, the only remaining bloodline descendant of the Bright Star Family, you will claim your birthright.

The right is jointly recognized by the royal family, the Sunset Temple, and the High Council of the Stars as——"

The look in Gilbert's eyes was solemn and solemn, with a slight hint of worry and sadness.

"—Heir to the High King of the Stars."

After a long time, Thales breathed out slightly.

It seems to be much more complicated than imagined.

"I understand, some parts are still unclear, but I will remember it firmly. I used to be Thales of Mann Manor, and I was also the adopted son of Lord Mann." Thales' eyes flashed and he put up his hands.

His mind was quickly arranging, combining existing information, and combining elements from Gilbert's words into effective information.

Gilbert nodded and sat down on a leather chair opposite Thales.

"For the rest, I will summarize the details for you to recite and become familiar with."

"This is your current task, and you only need to know this."

Sure enough, although he respects me very much.

But deep down, I still feel that there is no need to talk too much to a seven-year-old child.

Thales' eyes flashed.

"Now I need to know your relevant basics——"

Just as Gilbert was thinking about what course to provide Thales with next, whether it was basic etiquette or written language, the future heir to the stars suddenly spoke, interrupting him.

"So, we have decided on a unified rhetoric to the outside world," Thales, who was curled up in the leather chair, lifted his chin from his hands, his eyes flashing: "Then it's time to tell me the truth, right?"

Gilbert was slightly startled.

"For example, the identity of my biological mother, and why her identity is so-hidden."

"There is also the difficult current situation of the Star Kingdom, especially the series of problems caused by the royal succession."

"In addition to the predicament the king is in, as well as those overt and covert, our common enemies and allies?"

"Perhaps you should tell me the above in detail, so that I will no longer have doubts in the following courses, and I will be better able to choose and focus on the knowledge I want to learn. I think this is for the stars and your king.

the best choice."

The voice fell.

The middle-aged noble's chin was slightly open and he looked back at Thales in surprise.

Did Yodel tell him this?

No, it's impossible.

Thales put away his hands with a calm expression, calmly but firmly waiting for Gilbert's answer.

At that moment, Gilbert felt as if he had seen the young Katherine Eddie Brightstar.

At that time, the stars in Prince Kessel's eyes were still there, and the warm light had not yet turned into the biting north wind.

Gilbert only lost consciousness for a moment, then came back to his senses and sighed slightly.

An extraordinary child?

From the next moment, the middle-aged noble began to answer his young master honestly, respectfully and respectfully:

"I see."

"I'll answer it for you right away."

"In order to save a little time, if you have any questions, you can ask them as well."

Thales frowned slightly.

"Very good," he stood up from the comfortable but uncomfortable leather chair, "Then I'll be direct."

The time traveler lets go of the extraordinary thinking in his brain, pulls out all the intelligence and information, and summarizes the key points just like he used to organize documents.

"You said that the bloodline lamp was a magic spell cast twelve years ago, but I am obviously only 7 years old. Why did you start preparing to find bloodline descendants twelve years ago? I think this is probably the same as mine.

It is related to an ulterior biological mother. Who is she? Why did she leave me in the hands of gangsters after giving birth to me seven years ago? These questions can be boiled down to 'where do I come from'."

"Also, Kessel - my father is obviously still in his prime, so what is the reason why the Kingdom of Stars has had no heir for twelve years? Why do all the hopes of an heir fall on an illegitimate son of unknown origin? What does my father mean to me?

His attitude is not right. If it is not a matter of personal character, then I have to ask: What is his relationship with my mother? Why should my identity be kept so secret? These questions are probably 'Who am I'?"

"Finally, what does my existence mean to the Kingdom of Stars? What kind of problems will Stars without heirs face? Who are our enemies and who are allies? From what you say, Sunset Temple is my business

What is their situation? If my identity is recognized, or if I just appear in the kingdom, what situation will I face? As an illegitimate child, what are my rights? As an heir, what exactly do I want to inherit? These questions

, which can be summed up as 'where am I going'."

"Where I come from, who I am, and where I'm going."

"Mr. Gilbert, please answer these three questions for me."

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

Gilbert stared at the boy in front of him.

For no reason, strangeness and fear arose in his heart.

The ancestor of ancient times, the ancestor of the stars.

He sighed in his heart.

Is this boy your descendant?

What kind of power does your bloodline contain?

It took a long while before a word came out of the middle-aged noble's mouth.

"Mr. Thales," he breathed out with some difficulty and organized his words:

"You really don't look like a seven-year-old."

Taylor immediately realized that what he had just done was inappropriate.

But he was already riding a tiger.

Anyway, a child prodigy who knows everything about the world is better than an ignorant puppet?

"More than one person has said this. If you want to please me, you have to use a creative way of saying it, Mr. Gilbert." In order to ease Gilbert's expression, Thales had a rare moment of humor, and a smile appeared on his face.

Make a smile.

Gilbert didn't reply, but looked at him deeply, his eyes unmoving for a long time.

Just when Thales was wondering if time had stopped, the sculptural middle-aged nobleman suddenly spoke and began to answer his doubts.

"Dear Mr. Thales, first of all, where are you from?"

"It all started twelve years ago."

"In March of 660, although the late King Eddy II was old, he was still in power. His rule was long and stable, and he was known as the 'King of Eternal Rule'."

"But suddenly, the entire Kingdom of Stars fell into unprecedented turmoil due to an intensifying rebellion, which even implicated the entire Western Continent."

"War, disaster, and famine, this was the theme of that year."

"Many people refer to that year as the 'Year of Blood.'"

"In such chaos and bloodshed, King Eddie was killed, and the entire Bright Star royal family was almost slaughtered."

"Among all the orthodox royal members, only his fifth son, the 35-year-old Prince Kessel Brightstar, survived and was eventually crowned king."
