return to the throne

"Adrian, what are you going to do? You can't go to the north now." Annie stopped Adrian from ordering someone to pack his bags, "Carlos is fine. It was just a small hole cut by someone's attack. He has suffered worse than this before." Don't worry too much about the serious injury, he will be fine."

"But Rika said that he has been unconscious for two days!" Adrian said anxiously, "If it was a small wound, why did he become unconscious? Something must have happened to Carlos, I can't stay here any longer, I Go see him now!"

Anne was speechless.

Anne, who was close to her cousin since she was a child, had an accident, and as a younger sister, Annie worried about Carlos all the time, but Adrian's body is not suitable for long-distance travel. He also has a son, James, who is only a few months old. The young one was weak, did they really make them go to the north after going through untold hardships?

What should be done?Anne was caught in a dilemma.

"Please, Anne." Adrian held her hand and begged, "Let me go, nothing is more important than Carlos now, I can't stay in Lanka when he is in danger Living comfortably here, I want to go to him and stay with him, even if, as for the rear, don't worry, Seyes will take care of it for me."

"Okay," Annie heard her own voice say at last.

Maybe this is not a good choice, but it must be the most popular choice.

Unexpectedly, no nobles in Lanka objected to Adrian's departure.

Adrian entrusted state affairs to the princess, and entrusted Seyes with his work, who would exercise the power of regent on his behalf.He himself headed straight to the north with an escort team, accompanied by Anne and several of his attendants, all of them traveled lightly, not seeking comfort, but only wanting to arrive as quickly as possible.

"Who attacked Carlos, did you catch him?" Adrian asked Annie on the way.

Annie said, "Rika only said that he caught someone, but didn't say the name." She paused, "But with Carlos' skill, it's very difficult to hurt him. This person will definitely make him less wary, maybe It's someone I know."

Adrian frowned, "People you know?" A few names flashed in his mind, and he had a hunch that maybe the person who attacked Carlos came from the Black Dragon, and Carlos was not unsuspecting because he trusted him, but Because he despised the other party and didn't regard him as a threat at all, that's why he was hurt by that person.

"I heard that it was just a small wound. Big Henry quickly subdued him, but why couldn't Carlos wake up? Could it be that the dagger that attacked him was poisonous?"

Annie shook her head, "The fellow bachelors have checked it, and there is no poison on the dagger."

Hearing this, Adrian was so anxious that he wished he could grow his wings and fly over.

The speed of the convoy was much faster than the march, and Adrian and the others traveled day and night without resting at all, so in less than three days, they rushed to the abyss swamp abruptly.

During the three days when Carlos was unconscious, the battle situation also stalemate for three days.

The hares were very irritable, and everyone was full of fighting spirit. The news that Carlos was injured and unconscious made them angry and unwilling, and they wished to tear the abyss soldiers apart immediately.The arrival of Adrian relieved this anxious mood, and the soldiers seemed to have a backbone, and no longer worried about the upcoming battle.

Rika also breathed a sigh of relief. He has been very busy these days. First of all, Carlos has been in a coma. He found the bachelor accompanying the army, including all the doctors in the surrounding towns, but there was no way to wake him up.The second was that the hares were constantly at odds with other soldiers. Seeing that several internal fights were about to erupt, he had to mediate. These trivial matters made Rika exhausted physically and mentally, and she became emaciated a lot in just a few days.

However, now that Adrian has arrived, he can act like a lubricant and improve the relationship between the soldiers of the two countries. At least the existence of the Duke of Lanka can deter many people with ulterior motives.

Adrian didn't think much of it at all. As soon as he arrived at the barracks, he handed over his son to May, and went directly to Carlos' camp.

The other party was lying quietly in the middle of the bed, motionless.

Carlos slept very peacefully. Just looking at his expression, he didn't look like a comatose person after being injured. His face was ruddy and his breathing was very smooth. There was a small scratch on his arm, which had healed and scabbed. Other than that, he didn't have any wounds on his body, nor did he see any signs of poisoning, but this person just couldn't wake up.

Adrian sat by his bed, frowning slightly.

Even though he hadn't seen him for more than ten days, he felt that he had been separated from this man for a long time. He didn't think he missed him much at first in Lanka, but when he saw him now, Adrian's thoughts surged out, and he couldn't bear it. He couldn't help reaching out to caress Carlos' cheek, and softly called his name, "Carlos."

The other party didn't realize it.

"He doesn't seem to be in a coma, he seems to be asleep, Anne, can you see anything?" Adrian asked.

Annie didn't expect Carlos to be in such a situation, she sighed and shook her head, "I'm sorry, Adrian, I don't know why."

"He's lost a lot of weight." Adrian felt uncomfortable, "What does he eat these days?" Carlos has been lying on the bed for five days, isn't it true that he didn't drink a drop of water?

Rika said, "We have fed him broth and rice porridge, but this is not the way to go, we must wake him up as soon as possible."

In the past, he had also seen many soldiers who fell asleep due to injuries to their heads or other places. Often they could not wake up after falling asleep. Although Carlos' symptoms were milder than theirs, Rika could I don't want my king and friend to end up like this.

Adrian didn't know this, but no matter how much he called Carlos' name, Carlos just couldn't wake up.After coming down several times, Adrian was extremely disappointed, he stood up, "Where is the person who stabbed Carlos, I have something to ask him."

Rika and Annie exchanged a look.

Adrian's heart sank, "What's the matter, is there anything you don't want me to know?"

Rika said, "Adrian, you know this guy too."

The premonition in Adrian's heart came true, and there was a trace of coldness on his face that he didn't realize, "Really? Rika, tell me, who is he?"

"He is your cousin, Adrian, the man we met in Black Rock City back then. He said he had your message, and Carlos agreed to see him. Unexpectedly, he attacked Carlos as soon as he came in. "

After a while, Eureka was dragged into the tent in embarrassment, and everyone stared at him with angry eyes.

Adrian was very calm, but looking at Eureka's expression was like looking at a dead person. "Eureka, who sent you here."

Eureka stiffened her neck and said nothing.

"I should have killed you a long time ago." Adrian said, "If I hadn't thought of Seyes' friendship, I should have executed you when you acted without authorization. I left your life in the hope that you You can protect my sister and my country for me when I leave, but I didn't expect that my kindness will become your reason for revenge. I let you go, but you put the poison on my husband Body, Eureka, how dare you do this, who told you to attack Carlos? Tell me, who are you working for now? Is it the abyss swamp, or the Holy See?"

Eureka pursed her lower lip and looked down at the floor.

"It doesn't seem to be true, you are right, after all, you are the son of Seyes, and you still have a bit of backbone." Adrian's eyes were ice-cold, "However, do you think I won't be able to guess who it is if you don't tell me? Apart from your father, the only one who can move you is probably my sister?"

Adrian is not an idiot. When he heard Eureka's name and recalled Emily's changes in the past few months, he had the most basic guess in his heart.It was Emily who wanted to kill Carlos. Her purpose for doing so was easy to guess. Either she hoped that Adrian would stay in Lanka after Carlos died and return to the Black Dragon royal family, or she wanted to get rid of Adrian An's most staunch supporter, won the power of the black dragon.

Adrian didn't want to speculate about his sister with such dirty thoughts, but he thought the latter was more likely than the former.

There is no other reason. These days, Emily's move to seize power has become more and more obvious. She often visits the ministers and has become very close to many nobles-you must know that some time ago, because of the orders issued by Adrian, and His merciless behavior towards the nobles made many nobles feel uneasy. They don't know how Adrian will evaluate their merits and demerits in this civil war. Will the crown prince liquidate the families he doesn't like one by one? Therefore, compared to the majestic Duke of Lanka who is not easy to talk about, it is better to deal with the gentle and lovely Princess Emily. The aristocrats never refuse anyone who comes, and she promises to never blame the past, just like a magnanimous and benevolent attitude of the superior.

Eureka suddenly raised her head, "I was going to kill your son, but I'm not going to kill a baby, so I targeted Carlos and got rid of him, and it's the same for me."

Adrian was angry and anxious, "Are you crazy? Why did you kill my son?"

Eureka sneered, "He has the blood of a lowly person, and he is an illegitimate son, but he wants to get the throne of the black dragon. Isn't that enough reason?"

Adrian said, "But he is also my son! It is the blood that your family swore to be loyal to! You forgot the promise you made to me? You said you would always surrender to me!"

Eureka said sharply, "I haven't forgotten, but I remind you, Adrian, I only pledge allegiance to pure noble blood, such as the son of Princess Emily and Peter Sachs, that is the real noble blood, destined to He was born extraordinary, and your son..." He spat on the ground pretending to be contemptuous, "A bastard who doesn't even know his mother, what right does he have to ask for our loyalty?"
