return to the throne

After a day and night of fighting, Paris Stirling's rebels finally chose to surrender.

Adrian had been waiting for the results outside the city, but Annie came and insisted that he wanted to rest, so he went into the tent and took a nap. When he woke up, he saw Carlos sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at him tenderly. "I bring you victory."

It's hard to describe how Adrian felt in that moment, words are poor, but the joy is real.He sat up abruptly from the bed, and squeezed Carlos' sleeves tightly, "Really? We really won."

"Yes." Carlos, "I'm sorry to break your palace, but I have told the soldiers not to touch the things in the palace. I think some of these things should belong to you, maybe you would rather handle them yourself .”

"It doesn't matter." Adrian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Quin destroyed what belonged to us long ago, and I don't care about his things. I just want to know whether Quinn is dead or alive. ?”

Carlos frowned, "Sorry, honey, we didn't find Quinn."

Adrian was stunned for a moment, "Didn't find it?"

Carlos said, "The general under Quinn said that when we started fighting, Quinn disappeared. No one knows where he went. Maybe he knew that he would not win, so he prepared a retreat for himself. .”

Adrian thumped out of bed angrily.

Carlos held his hand, "There is no need to be angry about this kind of person, I will find him."

Adrian said, "He must have escaped from the ferry. Lanka's ferry is connected to the inland river. If Quinn wants to go back to the abyss swamp, this is the easiest way."

Carlos said, "Sir Seyes sent a team of knights and hounds to follow along the way, maybe we can find something."

Adrian shook his head, "It's too late, Quinn must have left before we attacked the city, I didn't expect him to be such a coward."

Yes, who would have thought that the one who defeated King James would be such a coward. Seyes did not expect, nor did Adrian, that in this era of integrity and honor, there is actually a leader who would flee without a fight , How did such a person gain the loyalty of those rebels?

Carlos kissed his face, "Don't be sad, this battle is not all fruitless, at least you have regained the hometown you grew up in. And those traitors..." He whispered in Adrian's ear, " It is also left to you, Adrian, whether you want to execute them or pardon them, it is all up to you to decide."

Adrian's heart beat violently.

It has to be said that Carlos' words moved him very much.Adrian didn't want to go around any of those traitors who had turned swords against his father, and those who moved with the wind and had no sense of shame.In this war, no one is innocent, each of them is stained with the blood of the black dragon, and survived by stepping on the bones of his father and mother.

He hesitated, "Carlos, if I say that I want to tie them up in the middle of the city and burn them to death, do you think I'm cruel?"

"Give the enemy a clean ending, it's not cruel, it's kind." Carlos immediately found a reason for his little prince, "Besides, you are not a cruel person, I know this, you will save someone who has been hurt The child in your interests will also sympathize with an unarmed young man, there is no contradiction between hating some people and helping others, Adrian, don't rush to deny yourself."

With his comfort, Adrian felt much better immediately.

"I really... don't want them to leave without paying anything. There is some hatred, and the black dragon will never forget it."

……

"Damn it, bastard, how can you let a heretic rule the country? This will be the most terrifying threat to other countries under our control!"

In the Holy City of the North, a city to which the Church of Light belongs, more than a dozen men dressed as priests are discussing loudly around a round table.Just now, he spoke impulsively, and the person who asserted that Lanka fell into the hands of the heretics was the confidant of Pope Sith. He loudly reprimanded the other bishops for their indifference, and they could tolerate this happening. They should immediately call the paladins and form an army , Drive the damned Aragonese and Adrian, who has become a pagan, out of the Celtic continent.

On the side of Archbishop Newman, there are quite a few people who are opposed to this matter. One of the bishops retorted slowly, "Get rid of him? Why should you drive him away? Prince Adrian is an orthodox Dakdraken His blood has the right to inherit the Black Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, he is not a pagan. He still believes in the God of Light. I heard that His Highness has built temples of light in every city of Black Dragon. Isn’t that enough? To prove his loyalty?"

"But he drives away those trustworthy priests!"

"Hehe." The man sneered, "It's just your trustworthy priest. Adrian didn't reject the new candidates sent by the church. They are all taken care of very well. Poor little prince, I believe he just had to. He was forced to commit himself to that heretic, but this does not mean that he betrayed us, on the contrary, he is much more devout than you and I think."

"His marriage has been certified before the God of truth." Someone said, "Forgive me, this does not seem like a forced commitment. You are just wishful thinking to excuse him, so you can't see the facts in front of you. , In fact, the truth of the matter is very simple, that is, he united with Aragon, attacked the people of his own country, and got mixed up with Carlos Castilla, which is really a heinous crime!"

"Because he wants to take back his own things is a heinous crime? Then when Quinn Pallister rebelled, why didn't you have justice for him?" The man stood up and his tone became aggressive. "King James A good king who works hard and loves the people. Quinn is more than a hundred times more powerful than him. He has committed many serious crimes such as war, betrayal, and murder. These crimes are much more serious than Prince Adrian's mistakes. "

A group of people quickly quarreled, from morning to night, stopped halfway to drink some water, went to the toilet, and then went back to the room to continue arguing. They were arguing about whether to send out the paladins.People on the Sith side said that the pagan Aragonese must be driven away. They actually crossed Mount Sharp and set foot on the land of the Black Dragon with more than 5 soldiers. This is the first history of barbarians in the south. This attack to the north for the first time is a very dangerous signal and must be stopped immediately, otherwise it will be a big threat to other neighboring countries.

But the people on the Norman side said that driving away the Aragonese is tantamount to helping Quinn Paristerin treason. If the vassals of other countries follow suit, the entire Celtic kingdom will soon To the north of the mainland, the area ruled by the Church of Light will become a mess. The most sensible way for the Church in this matter is to allow Adrian to form an alliance with the Aragonese. Anyway, he will leave the Black Dragon and hand over the ruling power to His own sister, so it doesn't matter whether he is a heretic or not.

As the meeting came to an end, Sith's heart sank more and more. His wishful thinking was in vain. Originally, he wanted to publicize the marriage between Adrian and Carlos in order to vilify the other party's behavior and make Adrian Belonging to the apostates, so that they can send troops to crusade in the name of the church. The church currently has [-] troops serving in the holy city. They are all loyal and brave fighters. They are not afraid of death at all. With so many people helping out, Sith no longer needs it Worried about the threat that Aragorn's hare would pose to him, he could also take Quinn back and let his son find a chance to regain the throne again.

However, it was too late now, and the decision to send troops was mercilessly rejected by Norman, and there were very few supporters. More than half of the people believed that there was no need to let the precious lives of the paladins go head-to-head with the Aragonese, anyway, they fought They were about to leave after the battle, so why did they bother to drive people away? Even among his subordinates, a large part of them agreed with this point of view and firmly opposed sending troops.

Sith was naturally unhappy. He raised his head and found that Norman was looking at him with mocking eyes. That kind of eyes seemed to be looking at a clown, full of contempt and disdain. He couldn't help but clenched his fists secretly. Trying to maintain a calm face.

If only this Norman was dead.

It's a pity that I made several strikes, but was dodged by this idiot.

Damn, there are so many people who want to kill.

Adrian, Norman, and stubborn George Newcastle, those who stood in his way were damned, very damned!

Sooner or later, Sith swore secretly that he would let all his enemies taste what it was like to be against him!

……

"Siri said, you have something to do with me." On the first night in the palace, Adrian found an excuse, sneaked out of his camp, and appeared in the place where his entourage lived. He was wearing a black cloak , wrapped very tightly, only revealing a pointed chin.

However, this attire did not prevent him from carefully sizing up the man in front of him. Adrian turned his eyes around him, "Thomas, your health is recovering."

"I'm resting well." The man spoke. If Carlos was at the scene at this time, he would be surprised to find that the person in front of him was Thomas Alec who he thought was dead. He came back to life and changed his name. surname, became Adrian's attendant. "Thanks to you letting Ciri take care of me, I was able to survive from the terrifying female warrior. I am very grateful for saving my life. From now on, as long as it is your order, I will do my best to relieve your worries."

Adrian said, "Thank you for your promise, but you haven't said why you called me here."

Tommy smiled, "Your Highness, I heard you are troubled by rumors?"

Adrian frowned, "Thank you for your concern, but I have already resolved this matter."
