Little Priest's Cat Diary
Chapter 142
……
The rain was pattering down.
Washing away the deep and shallow bloodstains on the stone bricks, they gathered into blood and flowed down the cracks.
Looking around, everything in front of me is blurred.
It seems that only black and white are left between the sky and the earth.
The only thing mixed in it was a dazzling blood red.
The corpses of the soldiers lay on the ground, and the rainwater drenched their mutilated bodies, soaking them in blood.
There seemed to be a huge tinnitus echoing in the ears.
The mind is blank.
He knelt on the ground, and the old general, whose white armor had been completely stained with blood, fell into his arms.
A sharp spear pierced the old general's chest.
Wet white hair stuck to the old general's wrinkled face, and the light in his usually sharp and strong eyes dimmed little by little.
The old general stared at him.
Even now, the old man stared at him with a stern look.
"At that time, let you leave... Cough, but you..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, blood foam overflowed from the corner of the old general's mouth.
The old man scolded him with a straight face, just like countless times in the past.
This has been the case since childhood.
He has long been used to his grandfather being harsh on him.
"Cough... there is no way... after all, cough cough, you are bleeding His Majesty's blood... and mine..."
But this time, under the harsh reprimand, he saw the pride hidden in his grandfather's eyes.
The old man didn't say anything, but he was actually proud of his choice in his heart.
"Paster..."
The old man looked at him and raised his hand.
The big rough hand that had held his immature hand since he was very young and taught him to swing a sword and stab a spear barely lifted up, as if wanting to touch his face.
The old man's eyes were full of regret.
"From now on... I can't protect you anymore..."
The old man's always sonorous and powerful voice lowered little by little at this moment, getting weaker and weaker.
"Don't forget...you are the prince of Portoyas..."
The hand that had just touched the corner of his eye suddenly fell down.
…………
........................
The dark-haired young man opened his eyes abruptly.
He stared blankly at the roof for a while, then sat up slowly.
The flickering firelight in the room reflected his pale face.
Everything around is very familiar, he is still staying in the palace, in the palace of his crown prince.
However, the things in the room have not changed at all, but the world outside has been turned upside down.
Pastor sat on the bed with one hand on his bent right knee.
He lowered his head, his thick black forehead hair fell down, and deep shadows covered his eye sockets.
The room was extremely quiet, only the sound of his breathing echoed.
The defense battle of Wangcheng became more and more tragic day by day.
The sea people's attack was extremely ferocious, and everyone was like a fearless shark, rushing forward one after another, rushing forward.
The battle was extremely brutal.
Every day, countless Portoyas soldiers died in battle on the city wall.
Days of winter rain fell like tears of mourning for the war dead.
However, the continuous rain could not wash away the bloody smell on the city wall that had been smeared layer by layer with blood.
Under the attack of the sea people like crazy sharks, the royal city is crumbling.
The soldiers guarding the city insisted on defending the crumbling royal city time and time again with their lives.
Even the citizens who were scared at first mustered up their courage to come to the city wall and do everything they can to help the army defend the city.
Regardless of the strong opposition of the old general, he resolutely stood on the frontline battlefield with his grandfather.
In Wangcheng, only a limited number of people knew that he was abolished as crown prince, and Wangcheng was besieged and isolated, and no outside news could come in.
Therefore, in the minds of everyone in Wangcheng, he is still the crown prince of Portoyas.
The crown prince personally led the army to defend the city, rushing to the forefront of the battlefield, which instantly raised the momentum of the soldiers and citizens defending the city.
The crumbling royal city stands firm in the turbulent waves.
From top to bottom, everyone is desperate, determined to fight the invaders to the end.
But what people did not expect was that the crown prince and a group of soldiers were fighting desperately on the battlefield ahead, while a small group of nobles in the rear were afraid of the "surrender or massacre the city" declared by the people of the sea, in order to save their lives and family wealth. Choose to join the enemy and treason.
They secretly opened the gate on the east side of the city wall for the people of the sea, allowing the warships of the people of the sea to sail into the city.
A gate that was secretly opened completely ruined the desperate fighting of the soldiers for many days.
On that day, the royal city fell.
The torrential rain poured down, and it seemed as if one could faintly hear the roaring waves of the distant sea.
That day, almost all the soldiers guarding the city wall died in battle.
That day, his grandfather Naert died under the spear to protect him.
In the name of the crown prince, he was captured by the people of the sea. The barbaric race did not kill him, but imprisoned him in the palace of the crown prince after pouring him a potion that would make him lose his strength.
The sky was dark and bright again, and he had been locked up here for three full days.
Pastor sat on the bed, staring blankly at the void in front of him, his mind was blank.
Even though the room was brightly lit, he could only see darkness.
He could not see the road ahead.
Footsteps came from outside, from far to near.
Before someone came to this gorgeous prison called the Palace of the Crown Prince, more than a dozen soldiers guarding the door bowed to salute the person.
They shouted respectfully: "Selt Shah."
The sound came into the room, causing Pastor's eyes to move slightly.
He has fought against the people of the sea for so long, and he knows a little bit about the affairs of this nation.
The Sea People worship Celt, the god of storm and chaos.
Shah means son of heaven.
This is what the Sea People call their king.
They thought their king was the son of Celt.
Pastor raised his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows stared straight at the direction of the door.
The person who is about to come in now is the king who led the sea peoples to attack Portoyas.
An extremely cruel, after capturing every city, he will destroy the city and massacre the city residents - a devil with the blood of tens of thousands of Podoyas in his hands.
The door was pushed open.
Accompanied by loud and powerful footsteps, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Pastor.
Pastor's pupils shrank suddenly.
The king of the sea people who appeared in front of him was almost as young as he was, tall and straight, almost as tall as he was.
The specially made close-fitting black armor wraps the young Wang's slender body. Although the chest is not tall, it is obvious that it is different from his features.
woman? !
Pastor was stunned, even more unbelievable.
The dark brown hair is bundled high behind her head. The skin of this female Shah's face and exposed arms is dark brown and extremely rough, which is formed by years of exposure to wind and sun at sea. color.
Although she is a woman, she has a large frame, which makes her look tall and straight.
Whether it is the arms or the legs, there are tight and strong muscles, and the smooth muscle lines show a strong beauty.
There are several large and small scars on her exposed arms, even one on the collarbone, which is extremely conspicuous on the brown skin.
Those old scars are proof that this young female Shah has experienced many battles.
Her appearance is not outstanding, but the pair of ambitious eyes on her face are very conspicuous, which makes people unforgettable.
Her whole body exuded the awe-inspiring aura that Pastor was very familiar with and had seen in his grandfather.
The blood of so many people was stained in her hands, so she developed the bloody aura in her body.
The female Shah's eyes swept past Pastor.
She looked at Pastor with meaningful eyes.
"Prince of Portoyas, how does it feel to be abandoned?"
Pastor took a breath.
"You have defended the royal city for so many days, but there is no reinforcement."
The female Shah spoke unhurriedly.
"King Davies abolishes your crown prince."
"Your uncle abandoned you and led his army north to attach himself to the new crown prince."
"When you fought desperately in front, the people in the city have already betrayed you."
"According to the news, the future High Priest has also appeared in Schulte City."
When the female Shah mentioned the above, Pastor just lowered his eyes and remained silent.
It wasn't until the last sentence that the corners of his eyes twitched.
"look."
The female Shah spread her hands, and she looked at Pastor who was sitting motionless on the bed.
"Everyone abandoned you, your father, uncle and even the young priest who was supposed to assist you all abandoned you."
"They all abandoned you and chose the prince in the north."
"They left you alone in this doomed city."
"How sad, Prince Pastor, that all of them are sitting and watching you die."
She said to Pastor in a low voice,
"Aren't you unwilling? Do you really not resent them at all?"
"enough."
Pastor interrupted the female Shah in a deep voice, and he raised his eyes, staring directly at the female Shah with his black eyes flashing with a gloomy luster.
"what do you want?"
The female Shah laughed.
"I want you, Prince Pastor."
She looked at Pester with terrifyingly ambitious eyes.
"Look, I didn't kill the Podoyas people in the royal city. This is my favor to you."
"Prince Pastor, go and declare to the people of the royal city that you are the rightful crown prince."
"The former king is dead, you should inherit the throne and become the next king of Portoyas."
"The prince in the north is not orthodox, he is a rebel, and he is not qualified to inherit the throne."
"And I will help you defeat that disobedient prince and make you the real king of Portoyas."
The female Shah's voice was not pleasant and even slightly hoarse, but it had a strange allure. Every word she said was like the temptation of the devil from hell.
Pastor stared at the female Shah, and he repeated what he said just now.
"what do you want?"
The female Shah leaned over and reached out to hold Pastor's chin.
Her figure was already tall and strong, and she was imposing, but when she bent down from above, she gave people a great sense of oppression.
Her gaze met Pastor's, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I told you, I want you."
"You marry me and become my husband-in-law, and I will let you sit on the throne and become the king of Portoyas."
"And my child will be the next king of Portoyas."
There was silence in the room for a while.
After a long silence, Pastor finally spoke.
"I need time to think about it," he said.
"can."
The female Shah said lightly and let go of her hand.
"However, Prince Pastor, my patience is limited. You'd better not think about it for more than a day."
"Although you are a better choice, without you, I can also choose a man from your royal family and support him to become King Portoyas."
As she spoke, she turned and walked out.
When she got to the door, the female Shah stopped.
She didn't look back, but her seductive voice came over again.
"Don't forget, this is your only chance to ascend to the throne right now."
"Whether you continue to be a fallen prince captured by the enemy, or become the new king of Portoyas, it's all up to you to choose."
After saying the last sentence, she walked out of the room.
The soldiers guarding the door saluted her respectfully, she raised her head slightly and walked away.
The moonlight shone on the young female Shah, and her boots made a loud and powerful sound on the stony ground.
As she walked, she thought about it.
The dauphin inside is a useful pawn.
It's a pity that the beautiful princess who is said to symbolize the unknown escaped somehow and couldn't be caught, otherwise it would be very useful.
At the beginning, she ordered the massacre of the city mercilessly in order to intimidate the Portoyas people and leave a terrible impression in the hearts of the Portoyas people.
Facts have proved that this approach is very effective.
If it weren't for the bloody massacre of the coastal cities by the people of the sea that frightened the useless nobles in the royal city, the royal city hadn't been defeated so quickly.
But after capturing the royal city, she did not massacre the city, and forbade the people of the sea to kill the city residents indiscriminately.
One is because she wants to tell everyone that she will do what she says, and if those people surrender, she will not slaughter the city.
The second is because she had no intention of destroying the city.
In order to find a new place to live, the sea people came to this fertile land across the boundless sea.
Sea People can't stay adrift at sea all the time.
Here is the new place she chose for her people to live in.
She was very clear.
If you want to become the new ruler of this continent, if you want to conquer Porto Yas, you can't just kill blindly.
Although her people are all brave and good at fighting, men, women and children are all powerful fighters, but compared with Porto Yass, which has a population of 80 million, the population of the sea people is less than [-] or even less than one-tenth of the other party.
Therefore, if you want to conquer Porto Yas, you have to use some means.
First demonstrate with a strong force, so that the people of Portoyas are afraid.
Then you can be gentle and win over those Portoyas who are willing to surrender to them and become their servants.
Immediately afterwards, these Portoyas who surrendered to them were ordered to attack the stubborn Portoyas.
Because that crown prince is an important part of her plan.
She intends to use the orthodox name of the prince of Portoyas to support Pastor on the throne and weaken the hostility of the Portoyas people towards the people of the sea.
In the name of the orthodox King Portoyas, she can unceremoniously attack those cities that do not obey the king's orders.
Including the prince who is still in the north, she can definitely charge him with disobedience.
Of course, even if Pastor ascends to the throne, he is only a puppet supported by her.
She is the future ruler of Portoyas, the actual king of Portoyas.
She didn't think the Dauphin would reject her.
Humans are selfish and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
This is human nature.
The so-called family affection is not worth mentioning before the real interests.
Just like her father who had raised her as an heir for more than ten years, Sea People's predecessor Shah, after having a son, tried to get rid of her time and time again in order to regain power from her.
Just like when she found out that her father wanted to get rid of her, she fought back without hesitation, killed her father and brother, and became a new Shah on the blood and bones of her relatives.
She believed that even if the crown prince hesitated for a while, he would still choose a path that was beneficial to him in the end.
Sure enough, after one night, the crown prince sent a message from his guards, saying that he would agree to her conditions.
The female Shah laughed.
Just as she thought, no one would not want the glory of being above ten thousand people.
Now that Pastor has become her own person, the female Shah naturally does not hesitate to show her favor to Pastor.
Not only did she remove the guards who were in charge of guarding him before, but she also sent back all the servants who had served him before.
However, after learning that Pastor was going to marry that female Shah, some of the attendants who were sent back looked at Pastor in a subtle way.
Some people even bluntly showed resentment on their faces.
King David died in the war with the sea people, but the crown prince wants to marry the leader of the sea people in order to survive?
Pastor turned a blind eye to those disgruntled eyes, but his loyal confidant couldn't see it, and reprimanded those people unceremoniously.
It's just that the reprimand can only suppress the faces of those people, but it can't suppress the hearts of those people.
"Your Highness..."
This personal attendant who grew up with Pastor could somewhat understand Pastor's mood.
He knew that His Highness's promise to marry the female Shah was not to save his life.
He thought, His Highness might just be unwilling.
Not reconciled to being abandoned like this.
Unwilling to be abolished as the crown prince.
He knew His Highness's obsession with the position of crown prince and his obsession with becoming king.
Unwilling resentment blinded His Highness's eyes and heart, and that's why he made such an unbelievable choice.
He tried to persuade His Highness Pastor in private, but His Highness seemed unwilling to listen to him, and just blindly asked him to back down.
He could only keep his mouth shut helplessly.
……
Although the royal city that has just gone through the war and has fallen into the hands of the invaders is still very quiet and depressing at the moment, but after the female Shah gave the order, the traitorous Portoyas nobles took the initiative to defend their crown prince. Prepare for the big wedding with the female Shah.
For this wedding, they are the most happy group of people.
As long as the crown prince and the female Shah get married, the stains on them will be wiped away, and they will no longer be traitors.
Because what they did was not surrendering to the enemy, but only loyal to the orthodox crown prince.
In the evening a few days before the wedding, the female Shah suddenly appeared in the palace of the Crown Prince and brought Pastor to the Sea God Temple without saying a word.
She brought along with her three Portoyas nobles who surrendered to her.
The noble and elegant Sea God Temple in the past is now in a state of depression. After entering it, all you can feel is a dead silence.
Even though it has been a long time, it seems that I can still smell the smell of blood left here.
The people of the sea who believed in the god of storm and chaos would not have the slightest mercy for the priests who believed in the god of the sea.
All the priests who stood by their faith in the Sea God Temple had been killed, and those who stayed here were those priests who feared death and chose to believe in Celt, the god of storm and chaos.
As early as the day the city was broken, the high priest was found out from the prayer room by the sea people's soldiers and imprisoned in a room in the Sea God Temple.
The female Shah brought Pastor to the house where the high priest was imprisoned, and handed Pastor her dagger.
She smiled at Pastor and said, "Go, my future husband, and offer me the blood of the High Priest of Sepul."
The young attendants who followed Pastor were startled, and the faces of the other Portoyas nobles turned pale, showing panic.
high priest.
Sea God Sepul's representative in the world.
An existence that is devoutly believed by all Podoyas people.
If the crown prince kills him...
There was no expression on Pastor's face, and he and the female Shah looked at each other for a long time.
Female Shah's eyes are deep, like a shark staring at its prey, under the scorching heat hides cold, never-ending ambition and desire.
Pastor silently took the dagger handed to him by the female Shah.
His attendant stared at him blankly, and opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Pastor's expressionless face, the attendant's lips twitched and couldn't say anything.
Pastor held the dagger and took a step towards the door. The female Shah wanted to follow, but Pastor stopped when she moved.
Without looking back, he said, "Don't follow, I don't want to be seen."
The female Shah shrugged and stood at the door with an indifferent look on her face.
Pastor walked through the gate, followed nervously by his valet.
The two entered the room one after the other.
The door of the room was closed in front of the female Shah and others. The warriors of the Sea People showed sarcasm smiles, and the nobles of Portoyas were full of fear, all of them looked anxious.
Pastor stayed in the room for a full quarter of an hour.
After a long time, the female Shah frowned impatiently and planned to go in to check the situation, the door finally opened again.
Pastor stepped out.
There was only a cold and stern look on his face.
The dagger on his right hand was dripping with blood.
Every time he took a step, a blood-red footprint was left on the slate.
The young attendant followed behind him, his face was pale, his steps were staggering, and his eyes were full of grief.
The female Shah looked over Pastor's shoulder sharply into the room, and when she saw the high priest in the room lying in a pool of blood, she showed a satisfied expression.
She walked over, raised her hand, and wiped away the blood splattered on Pastor's cheek affectionately.
She smiled at her intended husband-in-law.
As the prince of Portoyas, he personally killed the high priest who was the leader of the faith of the Portoyas people—this incident was enough to make Pastor ruined and reviled by thousands of people, and he would even be disgusted by Sea God Sepul.
This is what she hopes for.
She wanted to hold this pawn firmly in her hands, and not give him the slightest chance to breathe.
She wanted to completely cut off all his escape routes.
She wants him to have no choice but to cling to herself!
Being intimately held by the female Shah, Pastor lowered his eyes, and the shadow of his eyelashes fell into his dark eyes.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the blood in his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.
…………
It was late at night.
The royal city where the war is over is quiet, and so is the royal palace in the center of the royal city.
In the courtyard of the Crown Prince's palace, Pastor was sitting under the gazebo.
He was the only one in the courtyard, sitting quietly on the stone steps, holding a lyre in his arms.
Bathed in the moonlight like silver gauze, his fingers gently plucked the strings.
He hasn't played for a long time, his movements are a little rusty, and the sound of the piano is also a little intermittent, as if he can't find the rhythm.
But it didn't take long for the slender fingers to play smoothly, and the sound of the piano in the night sky became more and more pleasant.
Pastor lowered his head, and he looked at the lyre in his arms with nostalgia and tenderness.
He has remembered.
Why do I like playing the piano.
A long time ago, when he was very young and his mother was still alive, he always liked to lie on his mother's lap.
He could no longer remember the appearance of his mother who had been dead for many years. What remained in his memory was his mother's slender and white fingers, which gently plucked the strings, making the strings emit beautiful and moving music.
Under the bright sunlight, he lay on his mother's lap, and fell asleep amidst the gentle voice of his mother and the melodious sound of the piano.
The melodious music echoes in the ears, creating a colorful and magnificent world in the dreams of the young child sleeping on the mother's lap.
……
The music of the lyre echoed in the night.
Accompanied by the sound of clear running water in the courtyard, it is dotted with moonlight, as if blending into the night.
Pastor's fingertips lightly plucked the strings.
He just sat casually on the stone steps of the gazebo, his brows and eyes as warm as water.
He remembered a long time ago, when he avoided his grandfather and hid aside and played the lyre secretly, the boy who accidentally appeared nearby and heard his sound.
He heard the young man humming softly along with his qin, and the melodious singing and qin were intertwined.
When he pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, the teenager sitting on the other side of the bush playing with the deer looked back at him.
The blue eyes are like a boundless ocean reflecting the clear sky, reflecting his shadow.
[According to the news, the future High Priest has also appeared in Schulte City. 】
...alive.
When he heard that sentence from the female Shah, Pastor suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It seems that the heart that has been hanging high has slowly fallen to the ground.
The chest that seemed to have a hole was slowly healing.
It seemed that the heart that had once become as hard as iron had softened again.
Pastor lowered his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Mia is still alive.
very nice.
……very nice.
During this year, he seemed to have had a long, long nightmare.
He was struggling in the dark and lightless mire, but he could only watch himself sinking deeper and deeper in despair.
Now, the dream finally woke up.
The soft moonlight fell on the soft face of the black-haired young man. At this moment, his black eyes seemed to have regained the warmth of a year ago.
A faint light flickered in his eyes, and there was indescribable tenderness flowing in his eyes.
Gently plucking the strings, Pastor closed his eyes.
In the quiet courtyard, the night wind blew through his hair, and a contented look appeared on his face.
At this moment, time seems to go back to a long time ago.
The moonlight fell on the courtyard, and the melodious sound of the piano lingered in the night.
…………
........................
Winter is coming to an end, and on this day at the end of winter, a grand ceremony was held in the long silent royal city.
Colorful flags were flying in the city.
The citizens of Wangcheng crowded around the huge square.
This day was the day when their crown prince got married, but the faces of the Portoyas people did not show much joy.
Although the scene was grand, it was not enthusiastic.
The people of Portoyas silently watched the magnificent wedding ceremony in front of them.
In the center of the royal city, the huge three-sided obelisk still stands, like a giant sword rising from the ground to the sky.
It guards the city, and its height of more than 40 meters is like a pillar of the sky, standing between the sky and the earth for thousands of years.
The golden spire made of pure gold glistens in the sun, as if shining on this ancient city with a long civilization, and as if guiding the direction of the people it guards.
Sepul's Tower.
Tower of Poseidon.
At this moment, it stands quietly on the ground.
I don't know if it knows that this city with a thousand-year history and the glory of Portoyas has fallen into the hands of the invaders.
There is a high altar on the lower side of Sepul's Tower, which is ten meters high.
It was a place that only the kings of Portoyas could ascend.
At the end of the empty square, long stone steps lead to the altar.
Looking at the stone steps that seemed to lead to the clouds, Pastor was slightly absent-minded.
He suddenly remembered that many years ago, his father took him by the hand when he was still very young, and walked up the long stone steps to the altar.
At that time, he was standing on a high altar, looking down.
Pastor, my child, from today, you are the crown prince of Portoyas.
The father held his hand, smiled happily and heartily, and pointed to the ground under their feet.
From today onwards, everyone below will become your people.
Memories of the past flashed through his mind, Pastor closed his eyes, and opened them slowly after a while.
After opening his eyes again, his gaze calmed down.
He stepped forward to the stone steps ahead, his long cloak scattered on the ground behind him.
The female Shah was by his side.
On this special occasion, this female Shah, who was always dressed in military uniform, did not wear a dressy long skirt, but was still dressed in a neat and strong outfit, but she also took off the black armor that never left her body.
Her long brown hair, which is always tied up high in a bundle and draped over her shoulders, is barely more feminine.
However, the female Shah's aggressive eyes, like a wild beast ambushing its prey, easily shattered the softness that belonged to women.
She walked side by side with Pastor, tall and tall, not inferior to Pastor in the slightest.
Although she is a woman, she has an awe-inspiring power, and the powerful momentum of stepping forward even suppresses the presence of the crown prince beside her.
Countless brave sea civilian fighters surrounded them, casting awe-inspiring gazes at their Shah.
Kill father and brother.
This is nothing among the sea nations where the strong respect the weak and the strong prey on the strong. It can even be said that this further proves that the female Shah is powerful, cruel and terrifying, and makes them awe and submit.
In addition to the soldiers of the sea people, the nobles and courtiers of Portoyas also lined up on both sides.
It's just that half is voluntary and half is forced.
Those courtiers and soldiers who refused to surrender and were imprisoned watched the ceremony in the square of Sepul Tower today.
Different from the joyful and proud eyes of the nobles who surrendered, the eyes they stared at Prince Pastor were full of disbelief, anger and sorrow.
They stood by the side in a daze, looking at the crown prince standing side by side with the female Shah, many of them had expressions of pain on their faces, and even more of them were disappointed.
Pastor didn't seem to care about the disappointment and grief in the eyes of his subjects, and stepped on the stone steps calmly.
He walked up step by step.
It was like a long time ago, when he was very young, he followed his father step by step up to this tall altar.
He is the crown prince of Portoyas.
The hot sun shone on the earth, and Pastor and the female Shah were already standing on the altar.
The female Shah stepped on the altar, looking down at the endless crowd of people below.
There seemed to be huge waves surging in her eyes, full of naked desire and ambition.
She smiled and said to Pastor who was standing beside her: "Go, my husband-in-law, and declare to our people."
"Go and declare to them that from now on, you are the new King of Portoyas."
"Declare to them your legitimacy—declare that brother of yours to the north is a rebel who seeks the throne—"
Pastor glanced at her, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled like her.
That was the first time he smiled since the city was broken.
He turned and walked forward.
In front of the altar, there is a long platform extending forward.
He walked out steadily along the long platform until he reached the end of the extended platform.
Pastor stood on a high platform, looking down.
He saw countless of his people standing on the earth.
The wind in the late winter swept by, blowing the long cloak behind him howling.
"My people of Portoyas—"
"I, hereby declare to you—"
His voice was picked up by the wind, surrounding and echoing on the land.
The special construction method of the platform spread his voice to the ears of all the people on the square looking up at him.
"My father, King David, made a will before he died!"
"Repeal my position as crown prince, and replace the third prince, Sardis, as crown prince!"
In the rear, the female Shah, who thought everything was under her control, suddenly changed her complacent expression.
Terrifying anger emerged from her eyes, and she rushed forward.
However, it was too late.
Pastor's loud roar echoed in the sky above the square.
"Father has died in battle! Crown Prince Sardis is the orthodox successor! He will inherit the throne immediately from the day his father died in battle!"
The roaring crown prince's face was flushed red.
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and even when he roared until his voice broke, he continued to roar at the top of his lungs.
"People of Podojas! Remember, your king is in the north!"
"He will definitely fight back! Take back our royal city from these invaders!!"
enough!
The female Shah was full of hostility, and rushed forward with a ferocious face.
She regretted it now.
She shouldn't trust this guy, let alone let this guy show up before the Portoyas!
But she knew so well that the crown prince was so stupid?
Obviously the throne is within reach, but——
In the blink of an eye, she had rushed behind Pastor.
Pastor stood at the end of the extended platform, and there was no way to escape.
There was a fierce light in her eyes staring at Pastor, she stretched out her hand and clasped Paster's shoulder fiercely.
It doesn't matter.
Even without the halo of the crown prince, he is still the prince of Portoyas.
Imprisoning him in the palace can still bear the name of this prince.
Pastor, who was held by her shoulder, turned around.
He laughed.
He didn't try to struggle, but directly crashed into her arms by being pulled by the female Shah.
In the next second, Pastor suddenly reached out and pulled out the dagger at her waist, and stabbed at the female Shah's chest——
However, the drugged body, which had completely lost its force, still slowed down a beat after all.
The dagger pierced into the female Shah's body, but failed to hit the vital point.
The female Shah, who sensed something was wrong, avoided Pastor's blow with all his remaining strength in time.
But she was also forced to let go of Pastor's hand
The rain was pattering down.
Washing away the deep and shallow bloodstains on the stone bricks, they gathered into blood and flowed down the cracks.
Looking around, everything in front of me is blurred.
It seems that only black and white are left between the sky and the earth.
The only thing mixed in it was a dazzling blood red.
The corpses of the soldiers lay on the ground, and the rainwater drenched their mutilated bodies, soaking them in blood.
There seemed to be a huge tinnitus echoing in the ears.
The mind is blank.
He knelt on the ground, and the old general, whose white armor had been completely stained with blood, fell into his arms.
A sharp spear pierced the old general's chest.
Wet white hair stuck to the old general's wrinkled face, and the light in his usually sharp and strong eyes dimmed little by little.
The old general stared at him.
Even now, the old man stared at him with a stern look.
"At that time, let you leave... Cough, but you..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, blood foam overflowed from the corner of the old general's mouth.
The old man scolded him with a straight face, just like countless times in the past.
This has been the case since childhood.
He has long been used to his grandfather being harsh on him.
"Cough... there is no way... after all, cough cough, you are bleeding His Majesty's blood... and mine..."
But this time, under the harsh reprimand, he saw the pride hidden in his grandfather's eyes.
The old man didn't say anything, but he was actually proud of his choice in his heart.
"Paster..."
The old man looked at him and raised his hand.
The big rough hand that had held his immature hand since he was very young and taught him to swing a sword and stab a spear barely lifted up, as if wanting to touch his face.
The old man's eyes were full of regret.
"From now on... I can't protect you anymore..."
The old man's always sonorous and powerful voice lowered little by little at this moment, getting weaker and weaker.
"Don't forget...you are the prince of Portoyas..."
The hand that had just touched the corner of his eye suddenly fell down.
…………
........................
The dark-haired young man opened his eyes abruptly.
He stared blankly at the roof for a while, then sat up slowly.
The flickering firelight in the room reflected his pale face.
Everything around is very familiar, he is still staying in the palace, in the palace of his crown prince.
However, the things in the room have not changed at all, but the world outside has been turned upside down.
Pastor sat on the bed with one hand on his bent right knee.
He lowered his head, his thick black forehead hair fell down, and deep shadows covered his eye sockets.
The room was extremely quiet, only the sound of his breathing echoed.
The defense battle of Wangcheng became more and more tragic day by day.
The sea people's attack was extremely ferocious, and everyone was like a fearless shark, rushing forward one after another, rushing forward.
The battle was extremely brutal.
Every day, countless Portoyas soldiers died in battle on the city wall.
Days of winter rain fell like tears of mourning for the war dead.
However, the continuous rain could not wash away the bloody smell on the city wall that had been smeared layer by layer with blood.
Under the attack of the sea people like crazy sharks, the royal city is crumbling.
The soldiers guarding the city insisted on defending the crumbling royal city time and time again with their lives.
Even the citizens who were scared at first mustered up their courage to come to the city wall and do everything they can to help the army defend the city.
Regardless of the strong opposition of the old general, he resolutely stood on the frontline battlefield with his grandfather.
In Wangcheng, only a limited number of people knew that he was abolished as crown prince, and Wangcheng was besieged and isolated, and no outside news could come in.
Therefore, in the minds of everyone in Wangcheng, he is still the crown prince of Portoyas.
The crown prince personally led the army to defend the city, rushing to the forefront of the battlefield, which instantly raised the momentum of the soldiers and citizens defending the city.
The crumbling royal city stands firm in the turbulent waves.
From top to bottom, everyone is desperate, determined to fight the invaders to the end.
But what people did not expect was that the crown prince and a group of soldiers were fighting desperately on the battlefield ahead, while a small group of nobles in the rear were afraid of the "surrender or massacre the city" declared by the people of the sea, in order to save their lives and family wealth. Choose to join the enemy and treason.
They secretly opened the gate on the east side of the city wall for the people of the sea, allowing the warships of the people of the sea to sail into the city.
A gate that was secretly opened completely ruined the desperate fighting of the soldiers for many days.
On that day, the royal city fell.
The torrential rain poured down, and it seemed as if one could faintly hear the roaring waves of the distant sea.
That day, almost all the soldiers guarding the city wall died in battle.
That day, his grandfather Naert died under the spear to protect him.
In the name of the crown prince, he was captured by the people of the sea. The barbaric race did not kill him, but imprisoned him in the palace of the crown prince after pouring him a potion that would make him lose his strength.
The sky was dark and bright again, and he had been locked up here for three full days.
Pastor sat on the bed, staring blankly at the void in front of him, his mind was blank.
Even though the room was brightly lit, he could only see darkness.
He could not see the road ahead.
Footsteps came from outside, from far to near.
Before someone came to this gorgeous prison called the Palace of the Crown Prince, more than a dozen soldiers guarding the door bowed to salute the person.
They shouted respectfully: "Selt Shah."
The sound came into the room, causing Pastor's eyes to move slightly.
He has fought against the people of the sea for so long, and he knows a little bit about the affairs of this nation.
The Sea People worship Celt, the god of storm and chaos.
Shah means son of heaven.
This is what the Sea People call their king.
They thought their king was the son of Celt.
Pastor raised his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows stared straight at the direction of the door.
The person who is about to come in now is the king who led the sea peoples to attack Portoyas.
An extremely cruel, after capturing every city, he will destroy the city and massacre the city residents - a devil with the blood of tens of thousands of Podoyas in his hands.
The door was pushed open.
Accompanied by loud and powerful footsteps, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Pastor.
Pastor's pupils shrank suddenly.
The king of the sea people who appeared in front of him was almost as young as he was, tall and straight, almost as tall as he was.
The specially made close-fitting black armor wraps the young Wang's slender body. Although the chest is not tall, it is obvious that it is different from his features.
woman? !
Pastor was stunned, even more unbelievable.
The dark brown hair is bundled high behind her head. The skin of this female Shah's face and exposed arms is dark brown and extremely rough, which is formed by years of exposure to wind and sun at sea. color.
Although she is a woman, she has a large frame, which makes her look tall and straight.
Whether it is the arms or the legs, there are tight and strong muscles, and the smooth muscle lines show a strong beauty.
There are several large and small scars on her exposed arms, even one on the collarbone, which is extremely conspicuous on the brown skin.
Those old scars are proof that this young female Shah has experienced many battles.
Her appearance is not outstanding, but the pair of ambitious eyes on her face are very conspicuous, which makes people unforgettable.
Her whole body exuded the awe-inspiring aura that Pastor was very familiar with and had seen in his grandfather.
The blood of so many people was stained in her hands, so she developed the bloody aura in her body.
The female Shah's eyes swept past Pastor.
She looked at Pastor with meaningful eyes.
"Prince of Portoyas, how does it feel to be abandoned?"
Pastor took a breath.
"You have defended the royal city for so many days, but there is no reinforcement."
The female Shah spoke unhurriedly.
"King Davies abolishes your crown prince."
"Your uncle abandoned you and led his army north to attach himself to the new crown prince."
"When you fought desperately in front, the people in the city have already betrayed you."
"According to the news, the future High Priest has also appeared in Schulte City."
When the female Shah mentioned the above, Pastor just lowered his eyes and remained silent.
It wasn't until the last sentence that the corners of his eyes twitched.
"look."
The female Shah spread her hands, and she looked at Pastor who was sitting motionless on the bed.
"Everyone abandoned you, your father, uncle and even the young priest who was supposed to assist you all abandoned you."
"They all abandoned you and chose the prince in the north."
"They left you alone in this doomed city."
"How sad, Prince Pastor, that all of them are sitting and watching you die."
She said to Pastor in a low voice,
"Aren't you unwilling? Do you really not resent them at all?"
"enough."
Pastor interrupted the female Shah in a deep voice, and he raised his eyes, staring directly at the female Shah with his black eyes flashing with a gloomy luster.
"what do you want?"
The female Shah laughed.
"I want you, Prince Pastor."
She looked at Pester with terrifyingly ambitious eyes.
"Look, I didn't kill the Podoyas people in the royal city. This is my favor to you."
"Prince Pastor, go and declare to the people of the royal city that you are the rightful crown prince."
"The former king is dead, you should inherit the throne and become the next king of Portoyas."
"The prince in the north is not orthodox, he is a rebel, and he is not qualified to inherit the throne."
"And I will help you defeat that disobedient prince and make you the real king of Portoyas."
The female Shah's voice was not pleasant and even slightly hoarse, but it had a strange allure. Every word she said was like the temptation of the devil from hell.
Pastor stared at the female Shah, and he repeated what he said just now.
"what do you want?"
The female Shah leaned over and reached out to hold Pastor's chin.
Her figure was already tall and strong, and she was imposing, but when she bent down from above, she gave people a great sense of oppression.
Her gaze met Pastor's, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I told you, I want you."
"You marry me and become my husband-in-law, and I will let you sit on the throne and become the king of Portoyas."
"And my child will be the next king of Portoyas."
There was silence in the room for a while.
After a long silence, Pastor finally spoke.
"I need time to think about it," he said.
"can."
The female Shah said lightly and let go of her hand.
"However, Prince Pastor, my patience is limited. You'd better not think about it for more than a day."
"Although you are a better choice, without you, I can also choose a man from your royal family and support him to become King Portoyas."
As she spoke, she turned and walked out.
When she got to the door, the female Shah stopped.
She didn't look back, but her seductive voice came over again.
"Don't forget, this is your only chance to ascend to the throne right now."
"Whether you continue to be a fallen prince captured by the enemy, or become the new king of Portoyas, it's all up to you to choose."
After saying the last sentence, she walked out of the room.
The soldiers guarding the door saluted her respectfully, she raised her head slightly and walked away.
The moonlight shone on the young female Shah, and her boots made a loud and powerful sound on the stony ground.
As she walked, she thought about it.
The dauphin inside is a useful pawn.
It's a pity that the beautiful princess who is said to symbolize the unknown escaped somehow and couldn't be caught, otherwise it would be very useful.
At the beginning, she ordered the massacre of the city mercilessly in order to intimidate the Portoyas people and leave a terrible impression in the hearts of the Portoyas people.
Facts have proved that this approach is very effective.
If it weren't for the bloody massacre of the coastal cities by the people of the sea that frightened the useless nobles in the royal city, the royal city hadn't been defeated so quickly.
But after capturing the royal city, she did not massacre the city, and forbade the people of the sea to kill the city residents indiscriminately.
One is because she wants to tell everyone that she will do what she says, and if those people surrender, she will not slaughter the city.
The second is because she had no intention of destroying the city.
In order to find a new place to live, the sea people came to this fertile land across the boundless sea.
Sea People can't stay adrift at sea all the time.
Here is the new place she chose for her people to live in.
She was very clear.
If you want to become the new ruler of this continent, if you want to conquer Porto Yas, you can't just kill blindly.
Although her people are all brave and good at fighting, men, women and children are all powerful fighters, but compared with Porto Yass, which has a population of 80 million, the population of the sea people is less than [-] or even less than one-tenth of the other party.
Therefore, if you want to conquer Porto Yas, you have to use some means.
First demonstrate with a strong force, so that the people of Portoyas are afraid.
Then you can be gentle and win over those Portoyas who are willing to surrender to them and become their servants.
Immediately afterwards, these Portoyas who surrendered to them were ordered to attack the stubborn Portoyas.
Because that crown prince is an important part of her plan.
She intends to use the orthodox name of the prince of Portoyas to support Pastor on the throne and weaken the hostility of the Portoyas people towards the people of the sea.
In the name of the orthodox King Portoyas, she can unceremoniously attack those cities that do not obey the king's orders.
Including the prince who is still in the north, she can definitely charge him with disobedience.
Of course, even if Pastor ascends to the throne, he is only a puppet supported by her.
She is the future ruler of Portoyas, the actual king of Portoyas.
She didn't think the Dauphin would reject her.
Humans are selfish and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
This is human nature.
The so-called family affection is not worth mentioning before the real interests.
Just like her father who had raised her as an heir for more than ten years, Sea People's predecessor Shah, after having a son, tried to get rid of her time and time again in order to regain power from her.
Just like when she found out that her father wanted to get rid of her, she fought back without hesitation, killed her father and brother, and became a new Shah on the blood and bones of her relatives.
She believed that even if the crown prince hesitated for a while, he would still choose a path that was beneficial to him in the end.
Sure enough, after one night, the crown prince sent a message from his guards, saying that he would agree to her conditions.
The female Shah laughed.
Just as she thought, no one would not want the glory of being above ten thousand people.
Now that Pastor has become her own person, the female Shah naturally does not hesitate to show her favor to Pastor.
Not only did she remove the guards who were in charge of guarding him before, but she also sent back all the servants who had served him before.
However, after learning that Pastor was going to marry that female Shah, some of the attendants who were sent back looked at Pastor in a subtle way.
Some people even bluntly showed resentment on their faces.
King David died in the war with the sea people, but the crown prince wants to marry the leader of the sea people in order to survive?
Pastor turned a blind eye to those disgruntled eyes, but his loyal confidant couldn't see it, and reprimanded those people unceremoniously.
It's just that the reprimand can only suppress the faces of those people, but it can't suppress the hearts of those people.
"Your Highness..."
This personal attendant who grew up with Pastor could somewhat understand Pastor's mood.
He knew that His Highness's promise to marry the female Shah was not to save his life.
He thought, His Highness might just be unwilling.
Not reconciled to being abandoned like this.
Unwilling to be abolished as the crown prince.
He knew His Highness's obsession with the position of crown prince and his obsession with becoming king.
Unwilling resentment blinded His Highness's eyes and heart, and that's why he made such an unbelievable choice.
He tried to persuade His Highness Pastor in private, but His Highness seemed unwilling to listen to him, and just blindly asked him to back down.
He could only keep his mouth shut helplessly.
……
Although the royal city that has just gone through the war and has fallen into the hands of the invaders is still very quiet and depressing at the moment, but after the female Shah gave the order, the traitorous Portoyas nobles took the initiative to defend their crown prince. Prepare for the big wedding with the female Shah.
For this wedding, they are the most happy group of people.
As long as the crown prince and the female Shah get married, the stains on them will be wiped away, and they will no longer be traitors.
Because what they did was not surrendering to the enemy, but only loyal to the orthodox crown prince.
In the evening a few days before the wedding, the female Shah suddenly appeared in the palace of the Crown Prince and brought Pastor to the Sea God Temple without saying a word.
She brought along with her three Portoyas nobles who surrendered to her.
The noble and elegant Sea God Temple in the past is now in a state of depression. After entering it, all you can feel is a dead silence.
Even though it has been a long time, it seems that I can still smell the smell of blood left here.
The people of the sea who believed in the god of storm and chaos would not have the slightest mercy for the priests who believed in the god of the sea.
All the priests who stood by their faith in the Sea God Temple had been killed, and those who stayed here were those priests who feared death and chose to believe in Celt, the god of storm and chaos.
As early as the day the city was broken, the high priest was found out from the prayer room by the sea people's soldiers and imprisoned in a room in the Sea God Temple.
The female Shah brought Pastor to the house where the high priest was imprisoned, and handed Pastor her dagger.
She smiled at Pastor and said, "Go, my future husband, and offer me the blood of the High Priest of Sepul."
The young attendants who followed Pastor were startled, and the faces of the other Portoyas nobles turned pale, showing panic.
high priest.
Sea God Sepul's representative in the world.
An existence that is devoutly believed by all Podoyas people.
If the crown prince kills him...
There was no expression on Pastor's face, and he and the female Shah looked at each other for a long time.
Female Shah's eyes are deep, like a shark staring at its prey, under the scorching heat hides cold, never-ending ambition and desire.
Pastor silently took the dagger handed to him by the female Shah.
His attendant stared at him blankly, and opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Pastor's expressionless face, the attendant's lips twitched and couldn't say anything.
Pastor held the dagger and took a step towards the door. The female Shah wanted to follow, but Pastor stopped when she moved.
Without looking back, he said, "Don't follow, I don't want to be seen."
The female Shah shrugged and stood at the door with an indifferent look on her face.
Pastor walked through the gate, followed nervously by his valet.
The two entered the room one after the other.
The door of the room was closed in front of the female Shah and others. The warriors of the Sea People showed sarcasm smiles, and the nobles of Portoyas were full of fear, all of them looked anxious.
Pastor stayed in the room for a full quarter of an hour.
After a long time, the female Shah frowned impatiently and planned to go in to check the situation, the door finally opened again.
Pastor stepped out.
There was only a cold and stern look on his face.
The dagger on his right hand was dripping with blood.
Every time he took a step, a blood-red footprint was left on the slate.
The young attendant followed behind him, his face was pale, his steps were staggering, and his eyes were full of grief.
The female Shah looked over Pastor's shoulder sharply into the room, and when she saw the high priest in the room lying in a pool of blood, she showed a satisfied expression.
She walked over, raised her hand, and wiped away the blood splattered on Pastor's cheek affectionately.
She smiled at her intended husband-in-law.
As the prince of Portoyas, he personally killed the high priest who was the leader of the faith of the Portoyas people—this incident was enough to make Pastor ruined and reviled by thousands of people, and he would even be disgusted by Sea God Sepul.
This is what she hopes for.
She wanted to hold this pawn firmly in her hands, and not give him the slightest chance to breathe.
She wanted to completely cut off all his escape routes.
She wants him to have no choice but to cling to herself!
Being intimately held by the female Shah, Pastor lowered his eyes, and the shadow of his eyelashes fell into his dark eyes.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the blood in his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.
…………
It was late at night.
The royal city where the war is over is quiet, and so is the royal palace in the center of the royal city.
In the courtyard of the Crown Prince's palace, Pastor was sitting under the gazebo.
He was the only one in the courtyard, sitting quietly on the stone steps, holding a lyre in his arms.
Bathed in the moonlight like silver gauze, his fingers gently plucked the strings.
He hasn't played for a long time, his movements are a little rusty, and the sound of the piano is also a little intermittent, as if he can't find the rhythm.
But it didn't take long for the slender fingers to play smoothly, and the sound of the piano in the night sky became more and more pleasant.
Pastor lowered his head, and he looked at the lyre in his arms with nostalgia and tenderness.
He has remembered.
Why do I like playing the piano.
A long time ago, when he was very young and his mother was still alive, he always liked to lie on his mother's lap.
He could no longer remember the appearance of his mother who had been dead for many years. What remained in his memory was his mother's slender and white fingers, which gently plucked the strings, making the strings emit beautiful and moving music.
Under the bright sunlight, he lay on his mother's lap, and fell asleep amidst the gentle voice of his mother and the melodious sound of the piano.
The melodious music echoes in the ears, creating a colorful and magnificent world in the dreams of the young child sleeping on the mother's lap.
……
The music of the lyre echoed in the night.
Accompanied by the sound of clear running water in the courtyard, it is dotted with moonlight, as if blending into the night.
Pastor's fingertips lightly plucked the strings.
He just sat casually on the stone steps of the gazebo, his brows and eyes as warm as water.
He remembered a long time ago, when he avoided his grandfather and hid aside and played the lyre secretly, the boy who accidentally appeared nearby and heard his sound.
He heard the young man humming softly along with his qin, and the melodious singing and qin were intertwined.
When he pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, the teenager sitting on the other side of the bush playing with the deer looked back at him.
The blue eyes are like a boundless ocean reflecting the clear sky, reflecting his shadow.
[According to the news, the future High Priest has also appeared in Schulte City. 】
...alive.
When he heard that sentence from the female Shah, Pastor suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It seems that the heart that has been hanging high has slowly fallen to the ground.
The chest that seemed to have a hole was slowly healing.
It seemed that the heart that had once become as hard as iron had softened again.
Pastor lowered his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Mia is still alive.
very nice.
……very nice.
During this year, he seemed to have had a long, long nightmare.
He was struggling in the dark and lightless mire, but he could only watch himself sinking deeper and deeper in despair.
Now, the dream finally woke up.
The soft moonlight fell on the soft face of the black-haired young man. At this moment, his black eyes seemed to have regained the warmth of a year ago.
A faint light flickered in his eyes, and there was indescribable tenderness flowing in his eyes.
Gently plucking the strings, Pastor closed his eyes.
In the quiet courtyard, the night wind blew through his hair, and a contented look appeared on his face.
At this moment, time seems to go back to a long time ago.
The moonlight fell on the courtyard, and the melodious sound of the piano lingered in the night.
…………
........................
Winter is coming to an end, and on this day at the end of winter, a grand ceremony was held in the long silent royal city.
Colorful flags were flying in the city.
The citizens of Wangcheng crowded around the huge square.
This day was the day when their crown prince got married, but the faces of the Portoyas people did not show much joy.
Although the scene was grand, it was not enthusiastic.
The people of Portoyas silently watched the magnificent wedding ceremony in front of them.
In the center of the royal city, the huge three-sided obelisk still stands, like a giant sword rising from the ground to the sky.
It guards the city, and its height of more than 40 meters is like a pillar of the sky, standing between the sky and the earth for thousands of years.
The golden spire made of pure gold glistens in the sun, as if shining on this ancient city with a long civilization, and as if guiding the direction of the people it guards.
Sepul's Tower.
Tower of Poseidon.
At this moment, it stands quietly on the ground.
I don't know if it knows that this city with a thousand-year history and the glory of Portoyas has fallen into the hands of the invaders.
There is a high altar on the lower side of Sepul's Tower, which is ten meters high.
It was a place that only the kings of Portoyas could ascend.
At the end of the empty square, long stone steps lead to the altar.
Looking at the stone steps that seemed to lead to the clouds, Pastor was slightly absent-minded.
He suddenly remembered that many years ago, his father took him by the hand when he was still very young, and walked up the long stone steps to the altar.
At that time, he was standing on a high altar, looking down.
Pastor, my child, from today, you are the crown prince of Portoyas.
The father held his hand, smiled happily and heartily, and pointed to the ground under their feet.
From today onwards, everyone below will become your people.
Memories of the past flashed through his mind, Pastor closed his eyes, and opened them slowly after a while.
After opening his eyes again, his gaze calmed down.
He stepped forward to the stone steps ahead, his long cloak scattered on the ground behind him.
The female Shah was by his side.
On this special occasion, this female Shah, who was always dressed in military uniform, did not wear a dressy long skirt, but was still dressed in a neat and strong outfit, but she also took off the black armor that never left her body.
Her long brown hair, which is always tied up high in a bundle and draped over her shoulders, is barely more feminine.
However, the female Shah's aggressive eyes, like a wild beast ambushing its prey, easily shattered the softness that belonged to women.
She walked side by side with Pastor, tall and tall, not inferior to Pastor in the slightest.
Although she is a woman, she has an awe-inspiring power, and the powerful momentum of stepping forward even suppresses the presence of the crown prince beside her.
Countless brave sea civilian fighters surrounded them, casting awe-inspiring gazes at their Shah.
Kill father and brother.
This is nothing among the sea nations where the strong respect the weak and the strong prey on the strong. It can even be said that this further proves that the female Shah is powerful, cruel and terrifying, and makes them awe and submit.
In addition to the soldiers of the sea people, the nobles and courtiers of Portoyas also lined up on both sides.
It's just that half is voluntary and half is forced.
Those courtiers and soldiers who refused to surrender and were imprisoned watched the ceremony in the square of Sepul Tower today.
Different from the joyful and proud eyes of the nobles who surrendered, the eyes they stared at Prince Pastor were full of disbelief, anger and sorrow.
They stood by the side in a daze, looking at the crown prince standing side by side with the female Shah, many of them had expressions of pain on their faces, and even more of them were disappointed.
Pastor didn't seem to care about the disappointment and grief in the eyes of his subjects, and stepped on the stone steps calmly.
He walked up step by step.
It was like a long time ago, when he was very young, he followed his father step by step up to this tall altar.
He is the crown prince of Portoyas.
The hot sun shone on the earth, and Pastor and the female Shah were already standing on the altar.
The female Shah stepped on the altar, looking down at the endless crowd of people below.
There seemed to be huge waves surging in her eyes, full of naked desire and ambition.
She smiled and said to Pastor who was standing beside her: "Go, my husband-in-law, and declare to our people."
"Go and declare to them that from now on, you are the new King of Portoyas."
"Declare to them your legitimacy—declare that brother of yours to the north is a rebel who seeks the throne—"
Pastor glanced at her, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled like her.
That was the first time he smiled since the city was broken.
He turned and walked forward.
In front of the altar, there is a long platform extending forward.
He walked out steadily along the long platform until he reached the end of the extended platform.
Pastor stood on a high platform, looking down.
He saw countless of his people standing on the earth.
The wind in the late winter swept by, blowing the long cloak behind him howling.
"My people of Portoyas—"
"I, hereby declare to you—"
His voice was picked up by the wind, surrounding and echoing on the land.
The special construction method of the platform spread his voice to the ears of all the people on the square looking up at him.
"My father, King David, made a will before he died!"
"Repeal my position as crown prince, and replace the third prince, Sardis, as crown prince!"
In the rear, the female Shah, who thought everything was under her control, suddenly changed her complacent expression.
Terrifying anger emerged from her eyes, and she rushed forward.
However, it was too late.
Pastor's loud roar echoed in the sky above the square.
"Father has died in battle! Crown Prince Sardis is the orthodox successor! He will inherit the throne immediately from the day his father died in battle!"
The roaring crown prince's face was flushed red.
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and even when he roared until his voice broke, he continued to roar at the top of his lungs.
"People of Podojas! Remember, your king is in the north!"
"He will definitely fight back! Take back our royal city from these invaders!!"
enough!
The female Shah was full of hostility, and rushed forward with a ferocious face.
She regretted it now.
She shouldn't trust this guy, let alone let this guy show up before the Portoyas!
But she knew so well that the crown prince was so stupid?
Obviously the throne is within reach, but——
In the blink of an eye, she had rushed behind Pastor.
Pastor stood at the end of the extended platform, and there was no way to escape.
There was a fierce light in her eyes staring at Pastor, she stretched out her hand and clasped Paster's shoulder fiercely.
It doesn't matter.
Even without the halo of the crown prince, he is still the prince of Portoyas.
Imprisoning him in the palace can still bear the name of this prince.
Pastor, who was held by her shoulder, turned around.
He laughed.
He didn't try to struggle, but directly crashed into her arms by being pulled by the female Shah.
In the next second, Pastor suddenly reached out and pulled out the dagger at her waist, and stabbed at the female Shah's chest——
However, the drugged body, which had completely lost its force, still slowed down a beat after all.
The dagger pierced into the female Shah's body, but failed to hit the vital point.
The female Shah, who sensed something was wrong, avoided Pastor's blow with all his remaining strength in time.
But she was also forced to let go of Pastor's hand
