The moonlight was cold, and the funeral songs in my ears stopped, replaced by the flower of the fortress laughing again and the shouts of her soldiers.

"Depose the Duke and destroy Zhan?"

In the lounge, Thales repeated the king's words and took a deep breath:

"Let me guess, Your Majesty, you will gather the strength of the whole country to raise for me a royal standing army of more than 30,000 people, with strong soldiers and horses, equipped with the best equipment, and provide the most sufficient logistics, and then give me your left hand

I unleashed the Wrath of the Kingdom and placed a Legend Wing in my right hand. Then, under my correct leadership, one on the left and the other on the right, they rushed into the Emerald City in a simple and rough but unstoppable way, broke the Kongming Palace, and then took away Zhan Kevin

Dill was snatched from his ducal throne, shoved headfirst into the toilet and flushed into the moat?"

King Kessel was silent for a while.

"No."

Thales sneered, "Sure enough," his words contained sarcasm:

"So, you must have planned a perfect plan that can kill Zhan En in a safe and low-key manner without forcing the princes to rebel and teach Xingchen to destroy the country in the civil war. Only then can you have the confidence to ask me to run errands? After all, we all

Should we learn something from the last 'Sand King' incident and maybe my little protest?"

The Iron Fist King glanced at him and turned to look at the desk.

"Open it."

It took several seconds for Thales to realize that what the other party was signaling was the scroll brought by the king.

The prince pursed his lips to express his dissatisfaction with Kessel's appetite, but he still came to the desk and picked up the scroll and found that it was printed with the exclusive coat of arms of the Iris family.

"Warmly welcome... Duke Thales is famous far and wide... we had a great conversation... we have been separated for a long time, and I miss you a lot..."

Thales read the contents of the letter intermittently, most of which were polite nonsense.

"Although the Emerald City is small, although the Kongming Palace is humble...the two families have a long-standing relationship...I and the sages of Nan'an...attend the grand event...and look forward to it..."

Thales finished reading the scroll, and when he was confused, he saw something under the scroll on the desk.

He picked up the plate frame that he thought was the scroll at first, and his expression suddenly changed.

"What is this?" Thales raised his head and looked at His Majesty the King in disbelief.

"As you can see, it is a reply letter from Duke Kevin Deere." King Kessel V was still looking at the sparkling Star Lake. "He welcomed his close friend, the Duke of Star Lake, to the Emerald City to stay at Kongming Palace.

Participate in the 'Emerald Celebration' and rejoice with the people of Nan'an to commemorate the deep friendship between the nine-pointed star and the iris, and the loyal bond between Fuxing Palace and Kongming Palace."

"No, no, no, I mean..."

Thales put down the scroll, raised the frame, which was actually a small portrait, towards the king, raised his voice, and said indecent words:

"What the fuck is this?"

King Kessel turned back.

Under Thales' shocked and angry expression, in the picture frame on his chest, a teenage girl with a round face turned back among the flowers and smiled at the king. Her smile was sweet and innocent.

And on her tailored skirt, the fleur-de-lis emblem was looming.

"It should be because the painter has changed. It's not as good as the last one."

The king only glanced at it and hummed indifferently.

"Don't worry, as usual, your portrait has also been sent, which is fair."

fair……

Thales only felt that his forehead was full of blood, and it would soon burst out of his blood vessels. He took a deep breath and used all his strength to ensure that the volume would not break the window:

"I repeat one last time: What the fuck is this, what the fuck?"

Every time the prince uttered a curse word, the picture frame shook with his fingers.

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

"Nothing," King Kessel said lightly, "You need a reason to go to the Emerald City. For example, you are going to greet and meet one of your fiancée candidates, the noble and noble Shilai Kevin, the sister of Duke Zhan.

Miss Dill."

The king glanced at him as if looking at a fool:

"Is there a problem?"

have.

Big question!

No one told me!

Thales turned over the portrait and stared at the round-faced girl above in stunned silence.

Hilley Kevin Deere.

Zhan En's biological sister.

Thinking of the cold and sharp threat of Duke Iris, Thales felt his hand holding the picture frame go cold.

What are you doing...

"Okay, please correct me if I'm wrong. So, the purpose or name of my trip is to go to the Emerald City...for a blind date?"

Thales tried to adjust his mood and forget the anger of being fooled.

"The letter won't be too straightforward. But, yes, when young men and women from important families reach marriage age, it is best to see each other, get to know each other and get to know each other before engaging in marriage. It is best to cultivate friendship. This has been the practice of the kingdom for many years."

The king's tone was normal, as if no one should be surprised at all.

Thales stared blankly at the girl in the painting for a long while before putting Miss Hilley down and returned to the conversation with the king.

"Okay, I know that with your temperament, this is very unlikely, but I still want to ask," Thales swallowed hard and suddenly remembered the ultimate goal of his trip, "Are you asking me?"

Make an engagement with that young lady, and then let Zhan suddenly die suddenly, and then we can use that young lady’s inheritance rights to enjoy the benefits and take the South Bank into our pocket?”

King Kessel snorted, his meaning was unclear, which made Thales feel confused.

"Two or three hundred years ago, this was an effective method, but unfortunately, at least in the Kingdom of Stars, simple family marriage is no longer the best way to gain power."

"Oh, what a pity." Thales breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but there was no regret on his face, "It seems that this is the only way that the noble and pure Miss Hilley and I can end up together.

Already."

The king didn't speak, he just narrowed his eyes and looked at him from a distance.

"You know, after what happened at the last royal banquet, Zhan and I have new grudges and old grudges, and we are incompatible with each other."

Thales sneered:

"And now I actually want to go to the Emerald City to ask for marriage. Well, at least I'm visiting his sister on the premise of marriage... Now, he will definitely think that I did it on purpose, provoking him through his sister.

Hey, with Xiao Huahua’s small belly, it would be strange if he didn’t go crazy and fuck me.”

When Thales said this, he remembered something. His expression became condensed and his words were stagnant.

Eh?

Provocation through his sister…

Fuck me like crazy...

"etc."

Thales' expression changed slightly, and he picked up the scroll again.

"This, this is just a reply letter from Kevin Deere, so..."

Duke Xinghu widened his eyes and looked at the indifferent king in disbelief:

"Your Majesty, whether it's an engagement or a blind date, how long ago did you tell Zhan En about this mess between his sister and me?"

"When it was confirmed that you had escaped from the North and were about to return to the royal capital," King Kessel no longer looked at him, and his tone was nonchalant, "the Nobles Affairs Council selected a list, including dozens of suitable nobles.

The women inspected them one by one and conveyed their marriage intentions to their families, which naturally included Iris."

"What?"

When I escaped from danger in the North and returned to the royal capital...

Thales's heart skipped a beat.

That means, that means...

"As far as I know, the girl from Kevin Deere's family is reclusive, and her character and behavior need to be observed, so her original ranking on the list was not high, but now, she just needs it."

"Wait!" Thales crossed his hands and stopped the king with a horrified expression.

"Wait, so before the royal banquet, or even before I returned to China, you told Zhan En: Fuxing Palace is interested in his sister?"

Thales stared at King Kessel intently.

The king looked back at him with deep blue eyes.

"It was not me, but you who 'told' him. Don't forget, Prince Thales is the real owner of the marriage, so you can show your sincerity."

Sincerity...

The more Thales listened, the more he became confused.
To be continued...
