Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven The Inverse Son
King Garcia seemed a bit older. Although he had been prepared for it, when the news came, it was still a big blow.
"Leon, please take a few guests back to rest for now. I need to think alone. Feonardo, you too." King Garcia waved his hand and drove everyone away.
Now, King Garcia needs some time alone to be quiet.
On the corridor in the palace, Leon walked silently in front, without speaking, and just took Esther and the others back to the guest room to rest.
"It's enough to get here, we remember the way back." Lilina said.
Prince Leon turned around, smiled at Lilina, and said: "My father ordered me to send you back, so it doesn't matter."
Seeing Prince Leon like this, Lilina didn't say anything anymore.
"It seems that you blame yourself very much for what happened to your father." Esther walked behind and looked at Leon and said.
Leon was silent for a moment, he smiled bitterly, and said with self-blame: "Yes, maybe I shouldn't have snatched the qualification to go underground from Feonardo."
Lilina asked doubtfully: "So, King Garcia initially planned to let Feonardo explore the underground world?"
Leon shook his head, then nodded.
This time, Lilina was confused. She shook her head and nodded again. What did this mean?
Leon then explained: "At the beginning, my father really wanted me to go and let me grow and be trained. However, after Feonardo talked with his father, my father's idea wavered a little.
, if I hadn’t persisted in the end, then it would have been Feonardo who went underground.”
"Come to think of it, if it was Fionado who went there, he wouldn't have brought back an untrustworthy underground man, the lava wouldn't have been lost, and my father wouldn't have suffered from petrification." Leon said mockingly.
"Then why did you insist on going in the end?" Lilina asked.
Leon looked back at everyone and said with a sigh: "Because I can't let Feonardo ascend the throne."
This sentence made everyone fall silent.
"Perhaps you will think that this is my selfishness, but that is not the case. You don't know Feonardo. He is an unscrupulous person. The country of dwarves must not be left in the hands of such a person."
Leon continued: "After his father suffered from petrification, Fernando gradually showed his ambition. Secretly, he bribed many nobles to spread the news that his father was suffering from petrification, making the nobles and the people think that
, my father is no longer qualified to sit in this position. And all this is because he covets his father's position and wants to ascend the throne himself. For this reason, he even prevented me from seeking medical treatment abroad.
When I was a young lady, there was also his obstruction."
"But if I remember correctly, it was Feonardo who brought us to this palace in the first place." Lilina said.
Leon said excitedly: "That's because you can no longer hide your affairs from your father!
Leon took a deep breath, "Before you were discovered by your father, Feonardo even wanted to let you die in the forging city!"
The last sentence made the atmosphere at the scene tense.
"Oh? I didn't expect that prince to be so cruel." Esther sneered.
"That's the truth. Do you still remember the forging shop you entered after you arrived at the Forging City? That blacksmith is my spy in the Forging City, so that I can quickly send all kinds of news back to the palace.
, and spread it to my father’s ears.”
"In fact, I suspect that the disappearance of the painting this time is all done by Feonardo!" Leon guessed.
In this way, when Esther decided to take Raven to the palace, the hateful look in Feonardo's eyes was also explained.
That was not because he was jealous of Est, but because Est hindered his plan to ascend to the throne. Without Crow, King Garcia's lifespan would not exceed half a month. After half a month, he would be able to succeed naturally.
Ascended to the throne.
By then, no matter how hard Leon tries to stop him, it will be in vain. Compared to Fionado, Leon is still too immature now.
Lilina said: "Is this the palace?"
At this moment, she felt the coldness in the royal family. It seemed that there was no family affection here, and it was as cold as a stone.
"Your appearance will undoubtedly disrupt Feonardo's plan, so he will definitely find ways to harm you!" Leon said.
"What about your father? What can you do to help King Garcia survive this difficulty?" Esther looked at Leon and asked.
Leon lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing his look, Esther knew that Leon had no way to fight against Feonardo.
"It seems that there is nothing you can do. You tell us these words, probably in the hope of getting help from us." Esther folded his hands and said.
Leon didn't expect his idea to be seen through by Esther so quickly, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, I hope you can help me and fight against Feonardo together."
"us...."
Before Lilina could say anything, Esther stopped her.
Esther said to Lilina, "Don't rush to agree yet."
Then, he said to Leon: "Prince Leon, let's not talk about the righteousness in your mouth. What kind of benefits can we bring to us just by helping you? You haven't mentioned a word about these from the beginning. Or are you naive?
, we are good people and will help you unconditionally. I believe that you will not have such unrealistic ideas when you live in the palace. In this case, show us your sincerity."
Who can tell clearly what goes on in the palace?
Maybe what Prince Leon said is true. Feonardo is indeed such a vicious person who covets the throne and even wants to kill his biological father. But what does everything that happens here have to do with Esther and the others?
In the final analysis, if you look at small things, these are family affairs of the Garcia royal family. If you look at big things, this is the struggle for the throne in the country of dwarves.
Esther doesn't have a hobby of getting himself into trouble for no reason.
"Of course, I will never let you help me unconditionally."
Prince Leon naturally understood this, and he immediately made a promise to Esther, "I can assure you that if you can find that painting, we will not take back the forged lava, and,
I can also promise that I will provide you with all the magic equipment you use in the future for free."
However, these alone are not enough to make Esther shaken. The reward proposed by Leon has not yet touched on that crucial point.
"That's all?" Esther said calmly.
"I believe Feonardo can also provide us with these things."
