In the Kingdom of Insephetus, it was the day of the "Fire Festival".

Early in the morning, when the sky was still hazy, the streets of the entire royal capital were already bustling with activity.

On the streets of civilian neighborhoods, the shouts of vendors and the conversations of pedestrians were mixed together, making it extremely noisy and lively.

The doors of every house are pasted with red paper painted with "sacred flames", which in the culture of the Kingdom of Incephetus often represents good luck and blessings.

According to custom, everyone should have a day off on this day and are not allowed to go to work.

Can adults get away from their busy work and have time to spend time with their families and enjoy this celebration?

Forgetting the pressure of work and life for a short time, the smiles on everyone's faces looked so relaxed and innocent.

In the aristocratic area, which is several streets away from the civilian area, most of the noble aristocratic gentlemen and ladies put on exquisite and luxurious robes. They no longer ride in carriages that symbolize their status, but walk on the road like ordinary people.

At this moment, the aristocratic gentlemen and ladies no longer put on airs and cold faces, but put on smiles as bright as the spring breeze, like the sunshine in spring.

Occasionally, he would smile and nod to civilians passing by.

Their clothes are all red, and there is often a flame pattern drawn with black paint in a conspicuous place, which seems to be burning.

The clothes are called "Fire Robes", and the flames painted on them are modeled after "Holy Flames".

Every time on the day of the "Fire Festival", nobles would change into this outfit in order to be blessed by the "sacred flame".

At the same time, whether one is wearing the "Fire Robe" that day has also become a criterion for measuring one's identity.

If any noble is not wearing the "Fire Robe", then he will receive the contempt of other noble gentlemen, and will become a laughing stock in the noble circle for a long time.

The current king of the kingdom, King Cainro XIV, left the royal capital early in the morning with a large group of noble ministers and guards, heading for the hunting grounds on the green plains outside the city.

In order to frighten some of the people below who were becoming more and more restless, the 70-year-old Cairnro Fourteenth World did not use muskets, but personally fired bows and arrows to show his strength to the people accompanying him.

What he meant was simple.

'My body is very healthy and I can live for a long time. I may not die even if you die. '

Seeing the old king dragging a fat brown bear for tens of meters with his bare hands without changing his expression, all the nobles with ulterior motives who were accompanying him began to gather around the king and use what they had learned throughout their lives to praise Cain Luo Shi. The four generations of bravery all have sincere and enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

The eldest prince Cainro George clapped silently on the sidelines, his eyes slightly moist, his mouth slightly raised, showing a joyful smile. Anyone who looked at it felt that he was sincerely happy that the old king was in such good health.

[Black Knight] Randolph Guderian, wearing a "Fire Robe" on the outside and thick black armor on the inside, followed Cainro XIV on horseback. His eyes were on the group of people approaching. In the hands of the old king's nobles, in case any daring madman carries out a ridiculous assassination on this occasion.

He was [-]% sure that he could stop Cainero XIV before the pistol bullet hit him.

This is the confidence and confidence he deserves as the top powerhouse in the kingdom.

……

At twelve o'clock at noon, in the "Holy Fire Square" in the center of the royal capital, a huge copper bell placed on a high platform was rang.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The bronze bell struck nine times in a row. Each time it struck, the bell rang, and the dull sound echoed in the air, spreading throughout the entire capital in the blink of an eye.

The bell rings nine times to bless everyone.

"This is the sound of the sacred bell!"

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction where the bell was coming from.

Immediately afterwards, overwhelming cheers erupted in the royal capital, and the people welcomed the arrival of blessings with fierce noises.

【Royal Capital】Regens, a lawless zone.

This is a paradise for gangsters and gangsters, a place for homeless people and the poor, and a deep darkness hidden under Regens's bright appearance.

Murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking, forced prostitution...

All things that are explicitly prohibited by the laws of the kingdom are the norm here every day.

The lives of lowly people are the least valuable thing here.

As long as someone can walk through the increasingly dark and remote alleys here, find a section of wall with an inconspicuous gap, and then tap a few times in a specific rhythm, you can find a tavern.

A quiet, refreshing tavern without dried blood, smoke, or foul-mouthed and rude gangsters.

To find such a tavern in a lawless area is even rarer than to find a girl who is still a virgin.

There is no doubt that this dimly lit tavern is a private tavern and is not open to the rude gangsters and dirty tramps outside.

There were only two people in the bar at the moment.

The bartender with two horns in his hair was wiping the wine glass, and the man with a white dove standing on his shoulder slowly tasted the wine in the glass.

Neither of them spoke, just waiting for the time to come.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, the banquet hall of the palace.

King Cainro XIV would hold such a banquet every year during the "Fire Festival" to entertain the kingdom's noble ministers and wealthy businessmen.

The banquet tonight was very well attended.

Because these big shots in the kingdom knew the news early.

King Cainro XIV will announce the candidate for the crown prince at this banquet!

No one will miss this scene.

Except for the rightful owner.

"William, hasn't he come yet?"

The eldest prince Kainluo George, who was sitting in the lounge next to the banquet hall, issued his fourth inquiry tonight.

"I'm very sorry, His Highness George. The soldiers on duty at the city gate tonight did not see His Highness William."

The commander of the city defense army, General Kibber, who had recently taken refuge, had no choice but to answer Cainro George's question for the fourth time.

"Tsk."

Cainro George smacked his lips in displeasure, and because he was upset, his left leg began to shake involuntarily.

This was an act that was very inconsistent with noble etiquette, but the eldest prince didn't care at the moment.

William's delay in returning made him very angry.

The anger was mixed with the fear and uneasiness that things were out of control.

"Your Highness, the Absolute Pirates called again. They asked when they will start taking action?"

An old nobleman hurried over, holding a small telephone bug in his hand.

"Let them continue to wait. No one is allowed to act without my order!"

Cainro George replied impatiently, then got up and walked out of the palace.

If William did not come to attend this banquet, his follow-up plans would not be carried out. Now he can only wait for his father to announce the heir to the throne.

Go bet on half the odds.

This feeling of leaving everything to fate to decide is really annoying...

And his father is in such good health now, who knows how long he can live.

Is there any 60-year-old crown prince in the world?

The eldest prince rubbed his eyebrows and walked out of the palace.

Suddenly, his whole body was shocked.

He thought of a possibility.

While the likelihood of it happening is slim, it's not completely impossible.

Cainro George was a little in disbelief.

"William, how dare you?"

……

"Sorry George, you stupid guy, I just dare to rebel!"

Cainro William, who was riding on a handsome white horse, said with a proud smile.

Two days ago, he arrived at the green plains.

Then he spent a day gathering the Nanda Camp garrison stationed on the verdant plains that had long since surrendered to him.

Then he spent another day killing the commander of the Dongda Camp garrison who did not cooperate with him, and took over the entire army.

The remaining two camps were too far away to deal with.

Cainro William, who now has nearly 15 troops in his hands, is instantly confident.

The tens of thousands of troops in the royal capital could not stop his troops.

Looking at the royal capital so close at hand, the second prince seemed to have seen the scene of him being crowned king.
