return to the throne

Adrian's heart skipped a beat. "I can't send James out!"

Medea said, "You don't need to send James away, Adrian, I know he's your firstborn, and you feel very differently about him, but you'll have other kids, and you can have kids after you Choose one of them to be the priest of the temple."

Adrian hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "I have no right to dominate other people's lives, even if they have my blood."

The priests of the temple will never marry and must abide by their chastity. Of course Adrian hopes that he can have another heir, but he does not want his son or daughter to suffer such pain, unless they volunteer to serve as priests of the temple, Adrian Ann won't force~force them to do anything.

Medea looked at him sternly, "Even if Carlos can't wake up from now on?"

Adrian said, "Even if Carlos knew, he would not agree." Carlos could not sell his children for his own life, and his feelings for his children are no less than Adrian's, even though they never After discussing this kind of matter, Adrian also knew that Carlos must have the same thoughts as himself, and they all hope that their children can spend their lives healthy and happy.

Adrian has no doubts that only when they become parents will they know how deep their love is.

Medea sighed, "It's your choice, Adrian."

Adrian said, "I said, I can change my beliefs and offer sacrifices to the Goddess of Truth. If she no longer has the soul of Carlos, I am willing to build temples of truth in all cities in the country, so that people like If I believe in the God of Light as much as I believe in the God of Truth, I will make at least two-thirds of Black Dragon’s citizens become loyal believers of the Goddess of Truth. Isn’t such a generous gift enough to exchange for my husband?”

Medea hesitated for a moment when she heard the words. Adrian's offer was very favorable. In this era, no matter how harsh the gods are, it is hard not to be moved in the face of so much faith.

Finally, she nodded, "Maybe, if you can give the goddess of truth a gift that is enough to impress her, she will accept it, but can you do it? Adrian, don't forget, you are not the king of the black dragon. "

Adrian pursed his lips, "Of course I can."

……

After laying down the abyss swamp and executing Sidney and his son, the Pallister family was finally completely wiped out. This family that once left the most terrible shadow in Adrian's heart now does not have a single adult male, only a few young men are left. Babies with no memories and weak women live on, and they too will be exiled farther north to spend the rest of their days as slaves.

According to the original agreement with Carlos, Adrian loaded the gold that the Paris Sterling family had accumulated for several lifetimes into the car and took it away.Originally thought that there would be no wealth in the barren abyss swamp, but he did not expect that Sidney was actually quite rich, and all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry he had accumulated were enough to cover ten years of tax revenue for the Black Dragon Kingdom.

Several small families around who could not avoid the war immediately joined the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Adrian accepted them one by one—he always needed someone to protect the north for him, although Adrian was a bit displeased with their behavior After taking a break, Adrian decided to return to Lanka as soon as possible.

He has other accounts to settle.

At the same time, Carlos' situation has stabilized. Although he still has no signs of waking up, with the help of Medea, his time has been frozen. This is the first time Adrian has seen the power of the goddess with his own eyes. Like magic, countless light spots converged on Carlos' body, but then, the goddess who had always maintained her youthful beauty suddenly aged many years, which made Adrian feel very guilty.

"Don't worry, looks are dry bones to me." Medea comforted him, "I don't want Carlos to come back, your child is too young to support the entire Aragon, we all need Carlos, Ai Derian, do what you want."

Lanka.

Palace ~ inside.

Seyes came to the conference hall.

When Adrian was not around, the princess had always been in charge of the overall situation. She could not do without the help of Seys, and she had to ask Seys for almost every decision.

But this time, Seyes didn't come to help her, but to question her.

"Princess, you sent someone to attack Carlos?"

Although Seyes hated this man who smiled every day, he never thought that Carlos would die on this land, not to mention how the neighboring Aragorn would retaliate, but just in terms of morality, they would completely Untenable, attacking Carlos is not a simple matter of attacking the enemy, it is an act of ingratitude, which violates the moral bottom line of a knight——During the civil strife in the black dragon, it was Aragorn who extended a helping hand and contained it for them. The expansion of Paris Sterling, they are the benefactors of the Black Dragon Kingdom, no matter what the motivation of Carlos to help at the beginning, in general, they have helped the Dakdraken royal family a lot.

Emily's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm and said, "What happened to His Majesty Carlos? Uncle, I don't know what you are talking about, I didn't do anything..."

It's a pity that her acting skills are not good enough, and she can't fool Seyes who knows him well. Seyes gritted his teeth, "Princess, why did you do this? Fortunately, the abyss swamp has been captured now, otherwise you would kill the chicken to get the egg, very madness!"

Emily bit her lower lip. "We don't need Aragorn anymore."

Seyes said in a harsh tone, "Aragorn is not needed... Who gave you such an illusion? Because both Phoenix City and Blackstone support you? By the way, you also have the army of Sax Lions. Do you think this is enough to fight with Allah? Has Gong resisted?"

Emily didn't speak, but looking at her expression, she was very unconvinced.

Seyes took a deep look at her, "But what if I tell you that all of us combined can't compare to Aragon's army? I have 7 troops, George has [-], your husband's There are also [-], but the [-] people may not even be able to beat [-] hares, you don’t understand how terrifying he is, otherwise why did your brother do everything possible to get Carlos’ support?”

Emily was scared, but she still said stubbornly. "After such a long war, the hares may not be better than us. I think this is an opportunity to wipe out the entire Aragon army. Without Carlos, Aragon next door is not to be feared. Brother can take this opportunity to gain their power .”

"Killing Carlos, can Adrian stay in Aragon? Emily, you are joking with his life!"

"Besides, if others don't know, don't you know?" Seyes said word by word, "James is the son of Carlos and Adrian, you want to kill the father of your nephew, when he grows up, he will feel What do you think? What would Adrian think?"

Emily's face turned pale.

After Seyes left, Emily quickly summoned her confidant, "What's the situation with Duke, did he say how Carlos is doing?"

She knew that Adrian hurried to the north because of Carlos' attack, but she didn't know whether Carlos died as she thought.

Emily bit her lower lip.

Eureka should have succeeded. Since the last time they contacted by carrier pigeon, Eureka told her that he had successfully sneaked into the army, and she had no news about Eureka.

She had a hunch that Eureka might not come back.

However, he was just making good use of Eureka according to Adrian's request.

So you can't blame her for being cruel.

This is what she learned in the polar regions.

Her confidant frowned, "Princess, the information about King Aragorn has been tightly suppressed, no one knows what's going on with him, but the Duke is coming back."

Emily forced her composure, "Come back when you come back, I'm his sister, he won't do anything to me." And she is now acting as the regent princess, and has the support of the entire Lankan nobles. Her status rose with the child in her womb.

"But..." Her confidant showed hesitation, "In terms of the army, the Duke still has a great say. I'm really worried that he will turn against us because of Carlos."

"No." Emily interrupted her resolutely, "I'm helping Adrian get rid of him, he can finally get rid of that pirate leader, the barbarian king, shouldn't he be happy? What's more, Ka When Rose is dead, he can marry and have children like a normal person, and he doesn't have to serve his husband like a woman. As for Aragorn, there is James, who can put his son on the throne, just like he helped me. "

Although Emily said so, her confidant still felt something was wrong.But the matter has come to this point, no amount of persuasion is useless, so she has no choice but to shut up.

A few days later, Adrian returned to Lanka.

Emily greets him at the city gate.

Adrian was wearing an all-black robe, his long curly hair was pinned back, and there was no expression on his face.

Although Emily gave herself enough hints in her heart, facing Adrian like this, she felt terrified for no reason. "Brother, you are back."

"Yes, I'm back." Adrian said meaningfully, he looked up at the towering city gate, "I'm finally back."

The first thing Adrian did when he entered the city was to execute the dozens of nobles pardoned by Emily.

He personally urged the guards to go to the noble's mansion to arrest people, no matter men, women, children, or status, they would all be shackled and sent to prison.

For those old, weak, women and children, Adrian decided to pardon them the first time, but this time, Adrian didn't let anyone go.

Then in the square, in front of all the civilians, he sent all the men in charge to the guillotine, and none of them fell.

It's so crisp and neat that it doesn't even have time for people to react.

Because of his return, the other ministers who were a little impure in their minds suddenly froze.

They never expected Adrian to act so quickly and so mercilessly.

Without even a trial, the nobles were directly sentenced to death.

Suddenly they realize:

This is - severing power.
