usurping the throne

The royal court of the orc empire is completely different from the human empire.

Human beings always respect their truest desires/desires and focus on enjoyment.The orcs pay more attention to animality and their own strength.

They try their best to pursue great power, and the world should be a world where the weak and the strong prey on the strong.

Therefore, although the royal court did not have the luxury of the empire, it was bold and bold, exuding the arrogance that nature bestowed on the orcs.

This is the capital, the capital given to them by God Gewu, so that they have thick fur and vigorous movements.

But Gewu doesn't care whether they are good or not, or whether they are united.So there has always been a struggle within the orcs.Survival of the fittest is the law of their survival.

However, the Royal Court will also hold some parties like humans.Most of these gatherings originate from the reverence and sacrifice to gods and nature.

Above the party, commoners are allowed to challenge nobles.This kind of life-and-death challenge cannot be tolerated by the nobles.

The firm status of the ten nobles was accumulated from this constant challenge.Every upstart of the nobility has thick corpses piled under their feet, stepping on these corpses, showing the strength and elegance that belonged exclusively to the orcs, and finally ascended to the throne of nobility.

As a young man, he stood at the outermost side of the arena, looking down at the crowd who were aroused by the fighting in the arena, and suddenly felt tired.

Nobles, as long as they are adults, must accept challenges from the outside world.

He doesn't mind being challenged, and he doesn't mind living under the pressure of hard work every day, but he hates the way nobles do.

Just now, he defeated another person who challenged him.

The man did not die, but was seriously injured.Then he stood where he was, watching the oncoming crowd drag the challenger away.

Not medical treatment, but secret execution.

This is the unwritten rule between them.If the civilians challenge the nobles and lose, even if they are still alive, they will be executed.If he wins, find a stronger person to play, and let him die on the challenge stage no matter what.

Most royal nobles grew up like this.See more blood, it becomes numb.

But he is different.The more blood he saw, the more uncomfortable he felt.He longs to fight with powerful people, but hates slaughter.

He even felt that the life he yearned for was to keep fighting, fighting, fighting until the moment of his death.

That kind of life is more comfortable than this kind of numb challenge and being challenged.

Following him in a daze, another challenger was dragged off the stage.

The soldiers who dragged him out of the door, without paying attention, ran into a dusty figure.

The figure was not tall, on the contrary, it was very thin.

After the man was hit, he hurriedly got up and apologized guiltily, but his eyes seemed uncontrollable.Frequent casual glances came from the high place where he was standing.

The man was so distracted that he didn't notice the soldiers approaching him.People are actually looking at him?

He cast his eyes on the man expressionlessly.

That person felt even more guilty, he apologized staggeringly, and sent away the cursing people.She lowered her head and dared not look at him.

He went down the stairs.The other side of the winding staircase leads to a remote park.

He knew the man, who was sent to the royal court by the surrounding nobles a while ago.

Although the person's clothes were not conspicuous, his eyes stayed on the coat of arms on his waist for a long time.Eyes full of longing.

"You want?" he asked aloud.There is no emotion in the voice.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the person to answer, he took off the waist ornament, threw it on the ground, and threw it at the person's feet.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Anyway, it's something that doesn't matter to me."

This extremely important thing was thrown on the ground by him like trash

The man looked up in panic, thinking that his behavior had upset the adults.So the adults will punish him.But I saw that after he dropped the coat of arms, he didn't miss it.He turned around and left.

So the man hesitated, lowered his head and picked up the coat of arms that fell on the ground, rubbed and rubbed them cherishedly, polished the ground to shine the coat of arms representing the royal family, and held it tightly to his chest.

"Master Steven."

Being woken up suddenly, the young royal noble was a little unhappy.Sitting up in displeasure, frowning, piercing sharp eyes, "What's the matter?"

"My lord is calling you." When everyone saw his expression, their expressions became more respectful.Respect reveals awe.

In front of him is the youngest and most brilliant upstart in the royal court.

He has reason to respect and awe.

"Father?" Steven held his forehead, "I see, you go down."

Seeing the man retreat with his own eyes, Steven rubbed his temples.

For some reason, I suddenly dreamed of something that happened a long time ago.

That person, the person he has always admired and longed for, just stepped on the steps and came to him gracefully and powerfully.Throwing down the coat of arms of the nobleman like alms, and then disappeared into the royal court without looking back.

In the dream just now, the night breeze brought the scent of lilacs to the person who stepped down gracefully with his back to the sun.The person's side face was firm and immature.

All of this is happening as if it happened yesterday.

That Steven, the real Steven.Just so willfully, he left the entire family and honor behind, and left the royal court privately.And the child sent by him in this remote area was included in the family tree by the head of the family in a fit of anger.Instead he became the real 'Steven'.Of course he knew what everyone thought in the days when he just received the coat of arms.

A lucky kid will eventually die on the challenge stage.

but none.He survived, and he reached a realm that no one has reached, and he can really stand in front of everyone with his chest up.

He tried his best to meet all the challenges regardless of the limits of his body.The purpose is to prove to all those who look down on him that this coat of arms is not a charity.He deserves it.

He held the worn coat of arms around his waist.

...Why do you suddenly have this dream?Did this dream foretell something?

Beastman's five senses are keen, so many times the dream of orcman can always predict what is about to happen.

Could it be that the real Steven is coming back?

He clutched the sigil tightly.

Steven... Now that you have given up everything and left here willfully.Then... in this life, don't step here again!

If that him really returned to the royal court, he wanted to take away everything that already belonged to him.

Then, no matter what, even if he killed Steven, he had to protect the coat of arms.

Because it represents the top ten nobles, represents unparalleled strength, and the admiration and awe of everyone, represents all rights and the highest status.

As long as he has this, everyone will look at him with envy and admiration!

Just like... Back then when he stood at the foot of the arena, with unknown expectations, he raised his head and stared at that person unwillingly to blink.

You must never come back... Steven.

Walking through the corridor, 'Steven' stood respectfully and politely in front of his father who was past his prime, but still looked strong.He bowed and greeted "Father."

"Some people say that there is a rumor in the border town that a nobleman named Steven went there to ask for marriage."

His eyes froze all of a sudden, and his whole body tensed up like never before.

The hand also unconsciously clenched the pattern on the waist.

"Go and see if that person is him... If it is him, ask him if he still wants to recognize me as my father!!"

The person sitting on the stone shattered the stone beside him emotionally.

The son has been gone for nearly ten years.Their family has very little blood.Steven's departure directly caused them to lose the most orthodox successor.

As for what's behind him... don't mention it!

The old aristocrat is a good judge of people.Even if this eccentric child is outstanding in everyone's eyes.But he knows.This kid's talent is not even one-tenth of that scoundrel he ran away from home!

"Yes." 'Steven' bowed and nodded, turned around, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

You're back! ?

why are you coming back ?

Why come back at this time?

Want to come back and take everything from me?

That's right, these are yours.

In your opinion these should be yours...

But me, but why should I return the results of my years of struggle to you with both hands?I can gain a firm foothold here, relying on my own efforts.

Don't you want to take it all away!

Steven...if it's really you...

The murderous intent in the man's eyes grew stronger.
