Although the war is over, the streets and alleys of the foggy city are surprisingly quiet. The previous battle was too fierce, and the sounds of gunshots and explosions were endless. These trembling citizens did not dare to show their faces at all, for fear of dying in confusion.
As for the escort, they did not show up immediately to clean up the mess. I heard that this was the intention of George VI.
"What are you doing, father? Why don't you want to see me?"
Edward, who was refused to meet for the third time, returned to his room and frowned deeply.
Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu sat on one side with their eyes closed. Even though Zhang Chi and others had gained Edward's trust, they were not their direct subordinates and had no right to speak. As for the others... there was no one else.
The officialdom of the Empire where the sun never sets has long been informed that this is an internal struggle within the royal family. On one side is Bernard, who is standing behind the Almighty God; on the other side is Edward, who has the help of mysterious eastern power. Currently, I heard that
Both sides have suffered heavy losses, and it is not clear who will win and who will lose, so it is not suitable for teams to start in advance.
Of course, there were also hardcore people who wanted to meet Edward, but they were all rejected by Edward. When they met, they were told a bunch of clichés, which made him tired of hearing them.
However, this incident still sounded the alarm for him. Before, he thought that with Feng Yi's help, everything would be safe, but he almost had an accident. Although things were developing in his favor, such a risky thing,
He won't do it a second time.
As for Bernard, he doesn't have any resentment. It's just that the opponent is fighting another cornered animal, and I'm afraid it will be the last time. If he were in the same situation, he might not fight to the death.
After this chaos, in the history books where the sun never sets, Bernard only represents a symbol and should not be taken seriously at all.
But, what about Fran?
Thinking of his gentle second brother, Edward couldn't help but frown. During this period, his second brother was as low-key as dust. If he didn't think about him deliberately, he seemed to disappear.
Did he really give up, or was he hiding in the dark and finding the right opportunity to launch a fatal blow?
Edward did not know that George VI was meeting Bernard at this time.
The father and son stood and knelt, neither of them speaking. In such a silent atmosphere, they looked like an oil painting.
When Edward returned to the palace, Bernard already understood that he had completely lost the game for the throne.
But he was still dissatisfied and indignant. Even though I had made so much effort and was fully prepared, why didn’t God stand on his side from beginning to end?
"Bernard..."
After a long silence, George VI finally spoke.
Bernard knelt down on one knee. Because he had a broken leg, his posture looked a little funny at this time, but he insisted on straightening his back and said, "Father."
"Haven't you realized your problem yet?"
King George VI said slowly.
"question?"
Bernard laughed at himself and patted his broken leg: "Is this what you are talking about?"
"madness!"
King George VI said angrily: "If you break a leg, you don't even want your brain?"
"I have no brain?"
Bernard said with the same emotion: "Because of this leg, I became a shame to the royal family, became everyone's laughing stock, and lost my future. All of this was caused by Edward. Is it wrong for me to seek revenge from him?"
When word of this incident spreads, it will definitely shock many people. Many people thought that Bernard's broken leg was related to Fran, but they did not expect that this was actually a tragedy caused by Edward's ignorant playfulness when he was young.
What made Bernard even more sad and angry was that Edward had already forgotten about it.
"Do you think I will be disappointed with you just because I have a broken leg?"
King George VI slowly shook his head and said: "It's just a leg, it won't affect anything. If you are still the positive and self-improving child, you are still the best heir. Unfortunately, you chose to give up on yourself.
Not only that, you spread the news about Fran and colluded with the Almighty God to create a shipwreck and frame Edward...
Bernard, my child, do you know how sad it was for me to know all this?"
Bernard was speechless and felt on pins and needles. It turned out that his father knew about it.
“If a person wants to stand out, he does not rely on his own efforts and progress, but chooses to drag down all competitors. He is too ignorant and stupid.
But the most stupid thing is that you chose to cooperate with the Almighty God without any reservation, even taking the position of queen. Are they helping you wholeheartedly? They are a group of beasts that eat meat but don’t spit out bones!
If you really succeed, will the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets still be our Empire? Can our family continue? By then you will be just a puppet standing in front of the stage. Once they have children, they will treat them mercilessly.
Kill you and replace you with a new successor, a successor who only obeys the Almighty God. By then our family will disappear completely and become nothing more than a word or a symbol in textbooks, newspapers, and television.
Is this the ending you want?"
King George VI looked closely into Bernard's eyes and said.
Bernard was still a little unconvinced and said: "If Edward didn't choose to cooperate with the Orientals, wouldn't he have any problem?"
"Yes, but this Easterner doesn't care about power and status, and he will not shake the foundation of our family, and will even help us deal with the Almighty God.
And you have to remember that in our Western countries, Easterners are always aliens, tools, and servants. No one will accept Easterners standing above us, including Edward.
The relationship between us and them is nothing more than a relationship of use and profit."
King George VI sighed: "What's more, if it hadn't been for the shipwreck, Edward wouldn't have had the chance to meet this Oriental who changed everything, would he?"
Bernard sat slumped on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained. He knew that this time he was a complete failure.
"From now on, you will live in your own manor. Except for the chefs and servants, you will not have any chance to contact other people. Anyone who dares to step into your manor will be killed on the spot and go back!"
Looking at his father's decisive back, Bernard smiled bitterly, decadently, and sadly, like a bereaved dog, and left in embarrassment.
…
In the castle, Feng Yi put the sleeping Ren Jingjing on the bed and walked to Xiao Shuang and whispered: "Are you okay, Xiao Shuang?"
Xiaoshuang, whose chest was slightly sunken, forced a smile and shook his head. During the battle just now, in order to protect Ren Jingjing, it received a heavy punch from Kino and passed out on the spot. Ren Jingjing hurriedly carried it into the castle to rest.
Fortunately, it had the original breath of zombies in its body to protect it, and it woke up again after resting for a while.
