Two members of the royal guard wearing silver eternal new armor walked to Val's side without saying a word.
Duke Cullen shook his head helplessly: "Friends are ruthless and brothers turn against each other. Is there anything more tragic than this?"
No one answered him.
After a while, Val Arend smiled lightly and raised his head:
"At least I accomplished one thing."
He looked at Baron Russell who looked strange.
"I brought war, didn't I?"
"Even if Lumba and I planned everything - wasn't it the restless nobles like Xingchen who killed the prince?"
In an instant, Zhan En, Kuside and some of the earls all had strange expressions on their faces. Only Duke Cullen still shook his head and sighed, as if he was still immersed in the quarrel between the brothers just now.
Val said sadly: "Haha... Kai, Xingchen has been injured and has not recovered. He is no match for Exter - what are you going to do?"
"Then you just watch here," the king said coldly: "Compared with you, a coward, look at me, the cold-blooded iron-fisted king, how I face the dragon's wrath."
"What," Val laughed miserably: "Are you recruiting children under the age of fourteen to serve as soldiers again?"
The king paid no more attention to him, but turned to Exeter's urgent envoy.
"Baron Russell, at least I have satisfied the third condition of the conditions you just met - unfortunately, neither the Guardian Duke of the North nor the Grand Duke of the Black Sand Territory, I can give them to you. Since your domestic
People are also involved, so it seems unreasonable to ask us for territorial or resource compensation."
Russell replied with a heavy face: "This is impossible! I just saw your Star Palace making noises back and forth, but there is no evidence that the Grand Duke of the Black Sand Territory was involved!
"Exter insists on the compensation conditions just now. The specific amount can be negotiated, but it can never be waived... Otherwise," he raised his head: "Otherwise - let us meet on the battlefield and let our swords speak!"
The nobles in the hall began to whisper, and Val, who was guarded by the guards on the left and right, even began to sneer.
"Moreover, King Nunn's anger and despair at losing his only heir cannot be filled by a mere murderer!" Russell added with a gloomy expression.
The king sighed.
"Yes," Kaiser V said dullly, "I feel it."
Russell raised his eyebrows.
"I feel his anger and despair." The king said sadly: "This is indeed unfair to King Nunn."
"The mission was assassinated, the prince was unfortunate - no matter who did this, they not only humiliated Exeter, but also humiliated the stars! The humiliation of the stars in this matter was even a thousand times or a hundred times greater than the former!"
Many eyes glanced at Val.
The king raised his head, his eyes full of coldness:
"Xingchen has never wanted to evade his due responsibilities - since it harms fairness, we will definitely pay the price for it."
The two earls in the north suddenly became nervous.
Could it be that the king really wants to sacrifice the North?
Also, after all - Duke Arend...
Zemuto glanced at Val secretly and saw the latter smiling indifferently.
"Your Majesty is indeed a responsible and courageous person," Baron Russell smiled: "Whether it is from Pine Cone County to Bear County, or around Cold Castle, the specific land or even the area can actually be negotiated, as long as we
satisfy……"
"You will definitely be satisfied."
The king said coldly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Supreme King of the Stars grabbed the scepter at hand, stood up from his throne again, and slowly walked down the steps.
Kessel V walked towards the confused Russell step by step with heavy steps.
"Go and reply to King Nun, and your master in the Black Sand Territory - Xingchen is deeply sorry for the assassination of the mission, and feels deeply guilty."
Russell showed a smile and nodded slightly: "I will bring you your words. As for compensation... we need a map to measure the territory..."
"No."
Russell was startled.
The Supreme King said coldly:
"The stars don't have any territory to compensate Exeter, nor can they make up for King Nun's grief and loss."
Russell's expression changed.
Thales breathed heavily: This, is this the rhythm of "this_is_Sparta"?
"But the stars will not shirk their responsibilities."
The king said softly.
The next moment, the hair on the traveler's body stood up!
Because the thirty-ninth supreme king of the stars, Kessel Bright Star, slowly raised the scepter shining with strange starlight and pointed it at - Thales!
"You haven't seen it yet, have you?" King Kessel V spoke slowly: "This is Thales Bright Star, the second prince of the stars, my son and only heir."
Everyone looked towards Thales.
"I will send him to Dragon Sky City to apologize to King Nun and Exeter."
Thales was stunned.
Russell was also stunned.
The king did not look at Thales, but his cold words continued: "If this is not enough, if the grief of losing a son cannot be calmed by an apology..."
"Don't King Nun want fairness?"
"Then I will give him justice."
"Tell King Nun that he can kill my son, the only heir of the Star Kingdom, and avenge his only son and heir who died in the stars!"
"Let him fill the emptiness with blood and wash away hatred with killing!"
"Use my son's life in exchange for his son's life! Use the blood of the stars to make up for Exter's blood!"
What.
Thales stood blankly.
He understood what the king said.
But he doesn't understand.
What?
At this moment, everyone in the hall, including nobles, lords, officials, guards, servants, and even the Duke of the North, all opened their mouths in shock!
"Your Majesty—" Gilbert's face turned pale. He wanted to speak immediately, but someone was faster than him.
"His Majesty!"
For the first time in his history, Duke Cullen looked serious and said nervously: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Thales was trembling, his ears buzzing.
But he couldn't feel his breathing.
"Shut up, Bob," Kessel replied coldly: "Your king has made his decision."
Cullen stared blankly at the High King, speechless.
Even Falkenholz couldn't laugh anymore.
Behind him, Zhan looked at Thales with a complicated expression, while the one-eyed dragon lowered his head in deep thought.
At that moment, the nine-star crown on Kessel's head shone brightly. Like a ruthless god, he said word by word to Russell, who was completely stunned:
"Yu Zi, the only son of one father, should be able to fill up his anger and despair by being the only son of another father, right?"
"Yu Gong, the heir to the king of the Kingdom of Stars, is replaced by the heir to the grand duke of Longxiao City - it's fair, right?"
The king stepped onto the ground, and a thick and majestic voice boomed like thunder:
"Since they are all stained with the blood of each other's only heirs - the stars no longer owe Exeter anything!"
"Fair enough!"
"At that time, we can't look back! Let go of all worries and burdens, and with the determination to completely destroy each other, start an all-out war!"
"That's fair enough!"
Russell's pupils continued to expand and contract. He was stunned by the king's sudden and shocking words. He raised the scroll in his right hand and trembled his chin, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
It is one thing to use bad diplomatic events to maximize the interests of Exeter (and perhaps the Grand Duke of Lombardy).
but.
Sacrifice the only heir - and the stars are not like Exeter's king selection system. The prince who holds the hereditary throne is killed. This will be a blood feud of life and death that will last for generations and dozens of generations - making the two countries become incompatible with each other, life and death.
A deadly enemy, triggering a war to destroy the country - this is another story!
Under King Kessel's majestic and powerful gaze, Russell was sweating and his brows were constantly changing, as if a fierce battle was going on in his mind to determine his reaction and wording.
"This...this...at my level, I cannot immediately respond to this matter..." he stammered.
Kessel V shouted angrily: "Then ask your king!"
Russell took a step back in fright.
The High King did not look at Thales. He continued to speak gloomily: "Tell him that I sent Baron Alaka Mu to the Broken Dragon Fortress with two thousand royal standing troops last night!"
"Prince Thales will set off later and go to King Nunn in person to let him do his bidding!"
"This is the price the stars can pay!"
The hall was full of people and they didn't dare to say anything out loud.
The king glanced at Russell, who was frowning and at a loss as to what to do: "As for the Grand Duke of Lombard in the Black Sand Territory... I know that he has deployed heavy troops and is ready to invade the northern border at any time."
"Get out of the way, escort my son to Longxiao City to apologize, or go to war against Baron Mu at all costs - I'll wait and see what he chooses!"
Russell backed away slumped, gasping for air, like a drowning man.
"His Majesty!"
The speaker was the fifteen-year-old Duke Lyanna. This beautiful girl looked pale at this moment:
"He - His Highness is your only, only heir. If something happens to him on the way...your throne..."
"Ha!" the High King laughed angrily: "It's too easy!"
Thales trembled and looked at everything in front of him.
I saw Kessel V turning around and facing the lords in the hall.
"No matter what happened to the second prince, the royal line was severed..."
"The one who completely destroyed the enemy of the stars, the one who successfully avenged the last Prince of the Bright Star, the one who finally avenged the humiliation of the stars..."
The king suddenly turned around and raised his scepter high:
"He is the next supreme king of the Star Kingdom!"
"If there are no such people in the stars."
Kessel glanced at the nobles in the hall coldly, and spoke with great force like a knife:
"Then what's the point of its existence?"
The hall was filled with silence.
"Let's adjourn the meeting." Kessel concluded coldly: "I'm waiting for King Nunn's reply."
At this moment.
"Kay."
The pale Duke Val Arend struggled to speak.
In disbelief, he looked at Kessel and then at Thales: "What...are you crazy about again?"
King Kessel V sneered.
"go Ape?"
The king snorted coldly, as if mockingly, and told Val what he had just said:
"Everything I do is for the stars."
Two guards came forward and escorted the stunned Duke away.
Russell left sweating profusely.
The lords were whispering, looking at the king and his heir.
Gilbert clenched his fists and looked at His Majesty in the star blue cloak.
The king strode away without looking at anyone again.
Only Thales was breathing in a daze.
He was completely unaware of the stares in the hall.
