return to the throne

The Duke of Lanka doesn't like the behavior of some people these days.

After only one night, such news flew into the ears of the nobles and ministers participating in politics as if they had grown wings.

Even though he has been away from Lanka for a while, Adrian's prestige in this place has not disappeared. He is still the respected former crown prince. On the day of return, the high-profile act of bringing his illegitimate son with him made people wonder whether he had the intention to ascend to the throne of the black dragon.

Ministers with a little bit of self-knowledge quickly restrained their usual high-profile style, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Duke of Lanka. After all, the Duke of Lanka still has an Aragonese army that everyone is afraid of. The attitude of Seyes and old George is not clear. , No one said which black dragon they would support.

Emily paced back and forth in the room.

After she heard that Adrian executed the nobles who committed crimes without notifying her, she knew that her brother was dissatisfied with her.

A large part of these people are Emily's supporters. They are not in high positions, but they have a strong network of relationships, and there are some private soldiers in their hands, which add up to a force that cannot be underestimated.

Get rid of them, this is Adrian's warning to her.

Emily was a little scared, how much did her brother know?Have you already grasped what she did some time ago?

She knew very well that her brother might not care about her if she did something to Carlos—it was just a one-year relationship, and she didn't think she would have much affection. In terms of importance, Carlos was definitely not as important as herself, who was dependent on each other. Emily still has confidence.

However, if the elder brother knew that she still wanted to deal with his son, Adrian might not let her go. Emily had seen the father and son get along at close range, and knew how much Adrian liked this son.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously shuddered.

She suddenly realized that she was not yet capable of fighting against her brother, and the reason why she dared to do these small tricks behind her back was just to take advantage of Adrian's tolerance and love for her.

And one day Adrian's love for her disappeared?

Emily couldn't imagine it.

Therefore, after she knew that Adrian had personally executed those people, she didn't dare to question Adrian in the palace.

Now all she can rely on is the fake child in her womb.

She is ready, if she is still not pregnant in the later period, she will go to the slums and bring a boy back.

If she has not been pregnant in the future, she will keep that boy and let him become the real king. If she is lucky enough to have a son, then she will find a chance to deal with the boy she brought back.

Anyway, James now only has the title of Adrian's illegitimate son, and illegitimate children have no inheritance rights, which is a recognized law.

That's right, Emily comforted herself, she didn't need to be afraid of James' existence, as long as she had a son.

As long as she has a son, she will be a little bit better than Adrian in theory.

But what Emily didn't expect was that soon, Adrian made a new move. He persuaded Seyes, who was defending the city, to let the hare knight Johe enter the city of Lanka with Aragon's army openly and squarely. All the ministers were summoned in the palace.

He announced in public that James was the first son of himself and Carlos, and he was officially born in wedlock.

"When I didn't pay attention, there were so many rumors that damaged my reputation, which made me very dissatisfied." Adrian's tone was very calm. He looked at the courtiers, and after they met Adrian's gaze, They all lowered their heads with guilt, "James is the child bestowed on me by the Goddess of Truth. He was conceived in my abdomen. He has the blood of the black dragon and the blood of Aragorn. He is the future king of Aragorn, not an illegitimate child. He even has a chance to get the throne of the black dragon."

Old Pete Sax was startled, "What do you mean?" This is different from what Adrian said back then!

Adrian sneered. "What did I say?"

Old Pete was speechless, and he suddenly realized that Adrian hadn't said anything at the beginning, but they all tacitly agreed that Adrian would leave the black dragon, so the princess' child would become king.

"You are the queen of Aragorn now, can you stay in the black dragon?" He justified.

"I'm not a woman, so I'm not Queen Carlos. Carlos and I were married as equals. We are each other's husbands." Adrian replied.

"If I have no children, of course my sister's child will inherit the throne, but now that I have an eldest son, who do you think should take this position?"

Emily, who came in a hurry, just heard the last sentence.

Her heart sank, this was what she had been worrying about all along.

Seeing Emily walking into the hall with a pale face, Adrian was still sitting safely on the throne.He didn't get up with concern like before, and let his sister sit down beside him.

"I know my sister is not the material to govern the country." His words made the other ministers faintly shaken. Indeed, Princess Emily's actions on politics are very weak. She has very shallow ears and often listens to other people's suggestions. My own opinion, "I've been wondering if I've been a little harsher on her. She should have been a pampered princess and shouldn't be the regent queen mother."

"You should ask the princess what she means." Although he had been working hard to suppress the princess, at this time, Old Pete chose to side with Emily. "Your Highness, what do you think?"

Emily swallowed her saliva, "I don't think I can share your worries, Adrian, you will return to Aragon one day, James is also the crown prince of Aragon, you can't stay in Black Dragon, people need a Kings who are close to them, listen to their voices and help them get out of their current predicament."

"So you think you are the one who is very close to them?" Adrian asked coldly, and before Emily could answer, he continued, "I will think about it, Emily, although I don't think I am far away from them." Far away, what is the problem with the rule here."

"Are you going to merge the Black Dragon into Aragon? Your Royal Highness?" The person who opposed was still the old Pete Sacks, "For thousands of years, we have been an independent country, and Aragon is our enemy. On the other side of the mountain, Hekelton was swallowed up, Anjou was swallowed up, and Lulik, who belonged to the nomads, was also forced to go away. Now they are starting to reach out to us. Do you think it is normal? This is destroying the foundation that our noble ancestors laid down for us for thousands of years!"

"Of course the black dragon is independent." Adrian said, "I know this better than you. I will be the king of the black dragon. After that, my son will inherit both the kingdoms of the black dragon and Aragorn. He will be the king of the black dragon. James II and James I of Aragon, what's wrong with that?"

"In the absence of an heir, this condition is valid, but now that we have a princess, how can we ask for a king of Aragon's blood?"

"Then, the expectation in your heart is a black dragon mixed with the blood of Sachs? May I ask if his surname is Sachs? Or is his surname Dakdraken." Adrian asked back. Suddenly, he laughed, "Of course, I can let Amy Li's son inherits the throne, the premise is..." His cold eyes circled around Sachs and his son, "You have to save your life."

Old Pete Sikes turned pale with fright.

"What are you talking about? You have no right to do this, you can't execute us for no reason."

"I have the right to do so. This is to ensure that the power of the Black Dragon will not be stolen by the Sachs family." Adrian said blankly, "If Emily can support this country, of course I will allow her husband to live— Prince Pete, this sounds good, right? But unfortunately, she did not meet my expectations, you say, why should I let a threat exist by my side?"

The courtiers below started whispering.

Old Pete heard someone say, "The duke's right, if there's a king like Quinn, then we're doomed..."

"Sir Sax's personality is not very good, at least Adrian is like his father, and he is also very shrewd in handling political affairs..."

"That's right, and joining Ragon will make our country stronger..."

"Their economy can also feed the poor on our side..."

Old Pete knew that Adrian would certainly not execute them. There was no law that stipulated that the husband of the Queen Regent must be a dead person, but Adrian's meaning was also very obvious. If they insisted on pushing Emily to become the Queen Mother Regent, then Adrian will do whatever it takes to make the Sachs family disappear from this world.

He wanted to accuse Adrian of being ungrateful, and wanted to say that thanks to the help of the polar region, the Northern Expeditionary Army was able to successfully conquer the abyss swamp, and it was also because of the polar region that the north was appeased. How could Adrian cross the river and demolish the bridge when all the dust had settled? , to exclude them from the center of power?But thinking of the hare stationed outside the palace, Old Pete was speechless again—the other party was not a powerless duke, he was indeed capable.When Adrian showed his despicableness openly, there was nothing they could do.

Is there no way he can stop Adrian?

At this time a voice sounded.

"You...you have no evidence to prove that this child was born out of wedlock." Seeing that the throne was about to be won, how could Little Pete allow the cooked duck to fly away like this.He stood up and said loudly, "Maybe you brought him from somewhere?" He looked at his wife, "Emily, you are the Duke's sister, have you ever seen your brother pregnant? Tell us , Where did this child come from?"

Emily lowered her head, "I don't know, Pete." Her voice was a bit lacking in confidence, and she didn't dare to look up at Adrian, "But men have children, it's ridiculous, I've never heard of it."
