Damn it.

This was Thales' first thought, and half of his face was pressed against the cold stone ground, feeling the dust and pain.

From the time when the prince entered the house and forced his way into the palace, raising a sword across his neck, to when he was careless and was captured by mistake, the situation changed in a flash, beyond imagination.

The entire Ballard Room was stunned and didn't even have time to react.

The focus of the field - Marico tightened Thales's twisted arm, took a deep breath, and reported to King Kessel with excitement:

"Your Majesty, the intruders have been captured!"

King Kessel did not answer immediately.

He just looked deeply at Thales on the ground.

His face sank like the sea.

Don't know what to think.

The royal guards wanted to rush forward, but the frowning Captain Adrian raised his hand at the right time and stopped them five steps away.

Many people then reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it over?" Soduo stared blankly at the prince who was firmly suppressed and unable to move.

Gilbert said nothing, but his face was dejected and his eyes were red.

Prime Minister Cullen also remained silent, bowing his head in deep thought.

"Oh my God, thank God, thank you Sunset, I knew..." Manager Qiu Ke broke away from Soduo's hand covering his mouth. He was still in shock. He was obviously very frightened.

Noisy, chaotic, and commotion, the atmosphere in Ballard's room was finally no longer so depressing.

But Marico was keenly aware that his boss, Adrian beside His Majesty, had a serious face and shook his head at him.

The king's voice sounded, causing the room to become silent again.

"It looks like," Kessel stared at Thales who was captured by mistake, thoughtfully:

"It's not that easy if you want to commit suicide."

"child."

Everyone had different moods, and all their eyes turned to the young captive on the ground.

"nonsense."

Thales tried his best to resist Marico's suppression, took a hard breath of air between the dust and the ground, and gritted his teeth:

"Stop wasting your fucking time."

The Mariko Pioneer officer riding on him snorted disdainfully.

Seeing that even though Duke Xinghu failed, he still spoke rudely and rebelliously, whispers arose in the Ballard room.

King Kessel narrowed his eyes, the glare in his eyes almost tearing Thales apart.

At the conference table, Gilbert, who had witnessed the whole process, sighed and stood up slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's as you said."

The Foreign Minister was so lost that he did not look at Thales on the ground:

"Prince Thales is overtired and really needs to...recuperate."

Qiu Ke on the side rolled his eyes:

"Well, Your Majesty, why don't we end today's meeting here..."

"If necessary, Your Majesty," Archdeacon Stylianides sighed:

"The Sunset Church can conduct confession for the lost prince and redeem himself..."

"No," Viscount Conney frowned and looked at his colleagues:

"Everyone, today's matter is related to the stability of the kingdom, so please keep your mouth shut..."

The ministers were all talking, and the meeting room became lively again.

"quiet!"

At this moment, Prime Minister Cullen suddenly shouted loudly.

The entire Ballard Room fell silent.

"It's a royal household chore."

Uncharacteristically, Duke Donghai turned to the king calmly and without doubt:

"Your Majesty makes your own decision."

Then everyone's eyes turned to the end of the long table again.

But King Kessel didn't respond.

Half of his body was in the shadow of the throne, with only his head and chest exposed from the firelight, which made his eyes flicker.

The king's silence seemed to have magic power, and gradually infected the entire conference room. From the ministers to the guards, everyone couldn't help but mute their voices, not even daring to speak out loud.

Except one person.

"Please, father!"

Even though the rebellion failed, Thales's laughter still had no scruples and was particularly harsh in the Ballard room:

"When big things happen, will you choose to be a stupid idiot or a suicidal coward?"

King Kessel's eyes became sharper and sharper.

Pioneer Officer Mariko's expression turned cold, and he exerted force on his knees, cutting off Thales' words in a hiss of pain.

At this moment.

"Mariko."

King Kessel’s voice sounded faintly:

"Let him go."

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

"Yes -" Marico accepted the order excitedly at first, then realized what was happening and raised his head in shock:

"His Majesty?"

"You, you said...what?"

He was not the only one who had this question, but Prime Minister Cullen's expression was thoughtful, Gilbert's eyes were filled with hope, and more people had doubts and fears in their hearts.

Only one person was not surprised:

On the ground, from an invisible angle, Thales endured the pain and raised the corners of his mouth.

"I said……"

King Kessel snorted and spoke, his voice was not loud, but it made everyone quiet down unconsciously.

"The bright star has made a promise."

The Iron-fisted King pays deep attention to his traitorous son:

"As you wish, child."

"let's talk."

After the king's voice fell, there was silence in the Ballard room for a moment, and many people exchanged looks in surprise.

Marico took a deep breath, roughly pulled Thales up from the ground, and pressed him heavily on the table, making the latter groan in pain:

"Your Majesty, Prince Thales intends to rebel. Once he escapes from trouble, it may be detrimental to you..."

He was not the only one who was worried, as the officials in front of the imperial court were talking in different directions.

"Alone?" Advisor Thordo looked at the load-bearing sword that had been confiscated by the royal guards: "But Your Majesty, at least let Adrian be there to protect..."

"Well, if we want to interrogate, we can find a cell, the kind with a fence..." This was Chief Qiu Ke who was still frightened.

"Where are the people from the secret department? They should handle it..."

"No, don't reveal even half of what happened today..."

boom!

There was a muffled sound, but King Kessel punched hard and hit the table!

The teacup on the table was shaken and rattled, and everyone was shocked.

The ministers and guards reacted and bowed their heads in silence, nervously waiting for the king's admonishment.

There was sudden silence in the room.

However, the Iron Fist King said nothing.

He just lowered his eyes with a cold expression, remaining as taciturn and calm as ever, like a hunter patiently waiting for his prey.
