return to the throne

Emily's heart skipped a beat.

"I didn't do anything." She managed to answer calmly, almost daring not to look up at Seyes' expression, "I don't understand what you mean, Uncle, as far as I know, someone framed some bad things in On my head, so that our brother and sister can turn against each other, I don't know who the other party is, but he almost succeeded, my brother has already begun to disbelieve me, don't you believe me too?"

Seyes shook his head with a sigh, "Aren't you even daring to admit what you have done now? My princess, why did you become like this?" He glanced at the pale princess with some hatred "No one has framed you, what you did is no secret, and everyone is not stupid, so they can't see what you think."

Emily pursed her lips. "Seis, what do you want to say?"

"You sent people to attack Carlos. For the sake of your brother and sister's feelings, I chose to hide it for you, but why did you unite with other people to oppose Adrian? Your sneaky little move really makes everyone think Know nothing?"

Since Seyes knew that Carlos had been attacked, he hadn't heard about the other party's situation. After Adrian came back, he hid the news of Carlos very well. Not even a fly could fly in the palace. Many people They all suspected that Carlos was dead, and Adrian was probably afraid that people would know about it, so he concealed the news of his death.

There are not a few people who have such thoughts, and Emily is the same, and Seys knows his niece too well. He knows that the reason why the princess is standing on the opposite side of his brother today is because there is no Carlos. Adrian is not much different from a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. She knows that she only needs to draw the officials to her side now, and Adrian will not be afraid.

"Isn't this what you all hope?" Facing Seyes' questioning, Emily didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. "I hope I can become a unique person. I have changed drastically. What else do you have to complain about?"

"Yes, we all want you to grow up, but not in this way, Emily." Seyes sighed, "He is your brother, I thought you at least had love for him."

Emily paused, "I'm helping Adrian." She said this, and she didn't know whether to persuade Seys or herself, "Syyes, you also saw that Adrian did it for that man. Crazy, he wants to expel the Church of Light from the black dragon, people will not agree, I am preventing him from destroying himself!"

"For this reason, he framed his child as an illegitimate child?" Seyes was unmoved, his eyes revealed a layer of pity, "Princess, you have made too many excuses, maybe even you have deceived yourself. Are you For Adrian, you are only for yourself. If you ask, Adrian will not agree to let your child inherit the throne? He didn't intend to stay at all, with or without James, in fact, you changed all of these."

It was like tearing off a fig leaf, the blood on Emily's face gradually faded, and her whole body was crumbling.Seyes shook his head, he was too disappointed in Emily, and now he has given up the idea of ​​making her the Queen Mother.But Emily suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Uncle, don't you wonder where your son went?"

……

"Thank you for your support, Lord Newcastle." In the banquet hall, Adrian raised his glass to the Phoenix Lord, "Without your help, I would not be able to let the nobles let go so easily today."

"You are also bolder than I imagined, Your Highness." Old George nodded slightly to him, with a hint of curiosity on his face, "By the way, James is really the son of you and King Aragon?"

"It's true." Adrian replied.

"It's amazing." Old George said incredulously, "I know there are many miracles in Aragon, but this must be the craziest one. You have kept it a secret." If you hadn't seen the little prince's appearance with your own eyes Well, Old George would definitely not believe that it was Carlos' son, because the rumors of a man having a child were so absurd that anyone would think that it was a child born to Adrian and a certain woman.

After a pause, he continued, "However, if I had known that you would have your own blood, I would not have suggested letting the princess' son ascend the throne and giving her such an unrealistic dream."

Adrian shook his head, "Even if I knew at that time that I would have James, Carlos would not let him come to the Black Dragon as the heir. The previous Kings of Aragon lived in Sardinia, and he would not go north unless I let him Merge these two countries." And this is impossible, even if Adrian loves Carlos very much and wants to be with him willingly, he can't bring the black dragon into the territory of Aragorn.

"It's not an annexation of territories, it's just the United Kingdom and there's a precedent," said George Sr.There are quite a few intermarried royal families on the Celtic continent. Except for the Castilian family, which they called barbarians and pirate chieftains, the royal families of almost all countries are relatives.The now extinct Anjou and Hekelton once unified. After the Anjou family became extinct, King Hekelton was the closest relative to the Anjou royal family at that time. He successfully went south with the support of the Anjou nobles. Became the king of Anjou, and Anjou and Hekelton also became the United Kingdom of Anjou-Hekelton for a time-it was not until a hundred years later that the two countries were separated again because of the war.

"Aragorn and the Black Dragon are still two independent entities that do not interfere with each other. You and Carlos will not meddle in each other's internal affairs. Of course, the situation will be different after Crown Prince James succeeds to the throne. He will be part of Aragorn at the same time. King James I, and King James II of the Black Dragon." James has the same name as his grandfather, and the other party is James I, so he is the second.

Adrian closed his eyes, "Actually, I haven't figured it out yet, Uncle George." When Adrian called Uncle Joe, it meant that he was confused and hoped that the other party would respond as an elder. "I did break my promise to Emily and put her in an embarrassing situation. I actually don't know if I made the right choice. There are many factors to consider. Finding a balance with your own personal relationship is really difficult."

Adrian's feelings for Emily are very complicated now. One is that he hates her for being cruel and heartless, and he is so disappointed in how much he loved her at the beginning, and the other is that he cannot completely ignore Amy because of his promise to his dead parents. Korea.

And what happened that day made him not want to face his younger sister even more.

He didn't expect that the other party didn't show any regrets about Carlos' matter, and even wanted to burn the flames of war on him.

Adrian felt that his patience was being worn away bit by bit.

"I'm sorry about the princess." Old George seemed to see his sadness. "But please don't be sad. She is really not suitable for getting involved in politics. Such a choice may be a good thing for the black dragon."

If old George didn't know which side he should stand just now, he has made up his mind now. He thinks that it would be much better if Adrian became king than Emily becoming queen mother. It is better to say that it is already in the pocket of the Sacks family than that the regime still belongs to the Dakdraken family.

At that moment Fay, the son of George Newcastle, entered the lobby.

"As you ordered, the Temple of Light in Lanka has been closed." He said while saying, "Cities in other cities will also be shut down one after another, and the priests will be sent away, but Adrian is ready to face the Church of Light." Are you harsh?"

"I'm not afraid of their harsh criticism." Adrian's sadness only appeared for a moment, and he saw the captain of his guard reporting the situation in a hurry, and soon he returned to the usual calm man.

"The Norman archbishop will be angry. He always thought you were his supporter." Old George said.

"We just take what we need." Adrian denies this.

It is true that Norman gave him a lot of help, but Adrian also gave him a lot in return. The five carts of gold last time alone was equivalent to five years' income of a medium-sized town.

"Also, they should also get used to my attitude towards the Church of Light. Last time I drove out the Sith's people, they should be ready to be driven out by me."

"But that's not against the entire Church of Light, Your Highness." Fay didn't agree with Adrian's approach, not because he was very devout to the God of Light, but he felt that Adrian's move was too radical and could easily be attacked by others. criticized.

"I'm waiting for them," Adrian said.

It wasn't until Adrian's order was issued that the nobles of Lanka realized that they had underestimated the married prince.

At present, there are about 15 soldiers drawn from all over the country to serve in Lanka, and three quarters of them are Adrian's supporters.This is not a small amount, which means that in addition to the two teams of Aragon, Adrian also won the support of Phoenix City and Black Rock City at the same time. He has more loyalty from the vassals than his sister, even if he made A seemingly ridiculous decision.

And this decision, as the large sum of gold and silver hidden from the church was found out, slowly began to be accepted by the nobles.No one likes their money to be plucked, and it just so happened that the church committed this taboo. Therefore, the lords who were not very willing to close the temple suddenly changed their minds. The kingdom of Lanka is on par. Driven by them, more and more people have accepted the new church—the Truth Church. Of course, this is all for a later story.

After finishing everything, Adrian returned to his room.

Carlos was still sleeping quietly on the bed~.

Big Henry was wiping Carlos' hands and feet awkwardly, and Adrian stepped forward, "Let me do it." He said and took the towel from Big Henry's hand.

He wiped Carlos's face very carefully and combed his hair.

In the evening, Henry and the others left. Adrian went to the living room to look at the child, and then returned to the room.

He climbed into bed and slept next to Carlos.

In the middle of the night, Adrian was suddenly awakened by a burst of burning heat. He got up and drank a glass of water, but he still felt that his heart was hard to calm down. His body seemed to be on fire again, which made him unconsciously growl.

He looked at Carlos beside him, and suddenly turned over and sat on his lap.

"Give me another child, Carlos."
