Chapter 37

The empress's father, Sinlund VIII, had no children, but had five daughters.

Sinlund has always been brooding about this.

Although there is no son as an heir, the empire cannot be handed over to "outsiders". Therefore, in order to choose a future heir, Sinlund is extremely cruel to his daughter.

The empire can only have one heir, and it must be the best.

As an emperor, one cannot be swayed by feelings, family affection, let alone one's own weakness.

So from the very beginning, Sinlund allowed his daughters to develop freely, and secretly fueled the flames, causing them to kill each other.

Simmiye was the emperor's youngest daughter.

It's also the least favored one.

Because Simmiye is weak and has no intention of fighting for the throne at all.

Because he was born in a concubine, it was difficult for Xin Miye to see his father when he was a child. Even when he saw him, he was only told by his father to learn the art of the king, the etiquette of the nobles, and the lessons of fighting.

Therefore, Xin Miye basically grew up amid heavy schoolwork during his childhood.

But she looks forward to her father very much, and wants to be praised by him.

If you are praised by the teacher, you will be praised by your father, so Xin Miye studied hard.

Being knowledgeable and up-to-date is praised by the nobles and ministers, and he will be praised by his father, so Xin Miye studied etiquette seriously.

As her strength rises, if she beats other sisters in the competition, she will also be praised by her father, so Xin Miye practiced her sword skills hard.

Everything is just to get a word of father's approval.

But in this way, the other sisters will be angered.

So the young Xinmiye became the biggest enemy of all the heirs.

In order to get rid of her, Xin Miye lost his companion pet, lost his confidant maid, and even lost his mother in the end.

And when Simmiye realized later, he realized that he had been wrong from the very beginning.

So Simmiye began to hide himself, no longer pursued his father's praise, let alone competed for the so-called throne.

But in this way, he angered his father and king again.

Sinlund does not allow someone to treat the battle for the throne negatively, he will only choose the best one, and this must make them compete with each other.

Therefore, Xin Miye, who was passive and sabotage, suddenly got more attention from his father for some reason, but it also made the other sisters even more jealous.

Assassination, poisoning, framing, everything will be used, as long as it can get rid of Xin Miye.

Of course, Hinlund is "fair".

Facing the collective siege of all the sisters, it is obvious that one Xin Miye is not enough to resist.

Thus, Xin Lund opened the imperial treasure house, and bestowed the long-sealed imperial glory, the sacred weapon: the mourning swords, on Xin Miye, so that she would have enough strength to compete with other sisters.

Although the old emperor's method is old-fashioned, it is very effective.

Faced with the persecution of his sisters, Xin Miye finally chose to resist.

It's just that the old emperor miscalculated a little bit.

Although sacred artifacts can make people stronger, some sacred artifacts have strong side effects.

According to rumors.

The twin mourning knives used to be the weapons of an imperial executioner. Because the blades are slender and sharp, they can easily pierce the human body without causing too many wounds and leading to the death of the prisoner, so they are very popular with the executioner. .

Moreover, the knife itself is water blue, extremely beautiful, and it is not afraid of being scorched by flames. It can help the executioner to complete many tortures.

Every time a prisoner is about to be tortured, he will use this knife to scrape off the other person's flesh little by little, or burn the blade until it is red, and stab the prisoner in the non-lethal place, so as to achieve the purpose of torture .

Over time, as long as this knife is at night, when the executioner performs torture, it will turn into a fiery red blade by itself, and release flames to forge the blade.

Alternate over time.

The executioner was getting old, he lost his job as an executioner, and spent his days at home.

But his knife is still the same as before, and it will turn fiery red at night.

The executioner liked this weapon very much, thinking that it already had a sliver of his own consciousness, but gradually, the executioner never dared to touch the knife again...

Because he didn't know when, he always heard the painful screams of the prisoners he had tortured in his mind.

Every day, every night, every moment.

No matter what he tried, he couldn't get those voices out of his head.

The aged executioner has had enough.

He knew it was the knife that did it, it was blaming himself, why didn't he use it.

In order to get rid of the torture in his mind every moment, the old executioner wanted to destroy the knife, but no matter what method he used, he could not cause any damage to the knife.

Helpless, the executioner had no choice but to bury the knife.

But what was even more weird was that no matter where it was thrown or where it was buried, the knife would always return to him at night.

And tortured the executioner while he was asleep.

Gradually, the aged executioner collapsed.

He seems to have developed a second personality.

And when he went crazy one night, he killed his own family...

The sober executioner couldn't accept the reality, and finally committed suicide with his once favorite knife.

This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and many people talked about it.

When the executioner's family was buried, they left the knife alone.

Because it is so beautiful and so sharp.

Since then, every person who has used this knife will hear the screams of pain of the person killed by this knife over time, and everyone who has used this knife will gradually have a second feeling. kind of personality.

Simmier is no exception.

It's just that she hides it so well that few people can notice it.

Except for Sinlund's eldest daughter, Santiago's first princess, Cynthia.

As the battle for the throne became more and more intense, Xin Miye's condition deteriorated day by day, and the second personality appeared more and more frequently, even the emperor noticed something was wrong.

Just when the emperor was about to question Xin Miye, he suddenly fell ill. After being diagnosed by the pastor, it was discovered that the emperor had been poisoned.

This toxin was not strong, and seemed to be hidden in the emperor's daily diet. After years of accumulation, it finally broke out.

Now there is no cure.

Not only was the emperor not furious when he learned of this, but he executed the only priest who knew he had been poisoned that night. After completely blocking the news, he decided to implement his final test for the throne.

At this time, the first princess Xinya also found Xin Miye.

The two talked in secret for a long time, and finally decided to join forces.
