Pretty cats also want to save the world

As for the reason why Bernard fell into such an embarrassing situation, it all started a few months ago.

The king, who was old and frail and had been bedridden for many years, experienced medical methods such as needle pricking, bloodletting, mercury, etc., but it still didn't help. His physical condition was declining and he was about to die.

Looking back on the life of the old king for more than 50 years, he was not a good monarch, not a good husband, and not even a good father.

When the old king was still very young, his father arranged a political marriage with the princess of a neighboring country, and he lived up to expectations and gave birth to a prince - Bernard.

Bernard's mother was older than the old king, and her appearance was more gentle, dignified and delicate, which did not meet the king's fantasy of a passionate lover when he was young.

But in this political marriage, the neighboring country provided the first country with a lot of financial and weapon support, and at the same time, his queen was very virtuous and capable, and handled the affairs of the court in an orderly manner.

The old king relied on his father when he was young, and after his father passed away, he came to the throne, and then relied on his wife to handle the government affairs, so he lived a leisurely life.

He had lived a happy life as a vassal for many years. Apart from not daring to touch women, he wanted to play and touch everything else.

The queen is a very capable woman. The down lamp containing whale oil on the table is lit all night, and the main hall of the palace is brightly lit. With a quill pen dipped in ink, she draws on the parchment presented by the ministers.

She was overworked and sick from the hard work day after day, so that she coughed up blood all day long and fell down at the desk at a young age.

However, after a short period of sadness, the old king suddenly felt the joy of freedom. He first found some beautiful poor women to have sex with and play, and indulged in sensuality.

When the government affairs to be dealt with in the court piled up like a mountain, he "returned to his old business" and found a stepmother for Bernard.

I don't know if it was known before the queen or not, but the old king suddenly suffered from a serious illness on the night of his wedding. After emergency rescue by the palace doctor, he was out of danger, but he was paralyzed for life.

Bernard was only six or seven years old at the time, but he knew his position in the palace early on.

He was in an awkward position. As the only heir to the royal family, he had to rely on "outsiders" to survive, so he could only carefully stay in a corner of the palace so as not to upset the queen.

Fortunately, although the stepmother didn't like him, she didn't have the habit of abusing children. Well, pocket money and food were delivered according to regulations.

However, it is inevitable for some attendants to exaggerate and step down, and secretly withhold some property.

Bernard only experienced a short and happy childhood, immersed in the illusory bubble created by his mother for him, and soon saw the darkness of society prematurely.

And it's all due to his scumbag father who only knows how to eat, drink and play, and doesn't care about anything.

So even if the old king suddenly suffered from a serious illness and was paralyzed for life, Bernard did not shed a single tear when he was dying.

When the old king died, he was already eighteen years old, and he had reached the age where he could handle the affairs of state alone.

The relationship between his heir-to-be and the queen has become more and more tense. Both of them are trying to win over nobles with titles to strengthen their own power, train personal guards and deploy them to increase their weight in seizing power.

Originally, Bernard had a great advantage in the early stage, and he was about to win the right to rule.

But things took a strange turn.

Recalling what happened during that period on the way to escape, Bernard couldn't help but start to doubt his mental state at that time.

At that time, he seemed to be under the control of someone, mourning for the cheap father who abandoned his wife and son, and was immersed in great sorrow, with no time to care about the situation in the palace.

As a result, the royal palace was quickly controlled by the powerful stepmother, and a hunter was sent to assassinate him.

What Bernard didn't understand was why the woman didn't use the hidden guards or killers trained by her subordinates. Even any soldier who had experienced the battlefield was better than the hunter who lived in the mountains and shot and killed small birds and animals.

In this way, when he is unprepared for a sneak attack, he will not be noticed by himself and escape, and run to hide in the depths of the forest.

Bernard could only attribute this to this strange fate, and he looked down at the elf in his arms.

It was the gift of fate that they met.

The elf's whole body was surprisingly soft, and it sank into one piece when pinched. The round cat eyes were slightly raised, and the thick and curled eyelashes fluttered, casting a faint shadow on the white lower eyelids.

Like a kitten, he was shivering in his arms, with his head arched inward, looking horrified.

Of course Ji Wu would be scared. He watched Bernard's murder scene at a close distance, and even felt that some hot and humid liquid had splashed on his face. When he carefully looked at the spots of blood visible to the naked eye on his greasy white wrist .

In the past, the system had marked him with a horse race for this kind of limited-level picture. I don't know why it just appeared in front of Ji Wu this time.

Cats can't see this kind of thing.

He buried his head in Bernard's arms, avoiding the blood-red spot on the ground, and lightly pinched the man's strong arm, his neatly manicured nails drew inconspicuous white marks on it.

"Quick, let's go."

Sensing his fear, Bernard's heart softened, and the corner of his mouth raised an inconspicuous arc, but he hugged Ji Wu even tighter.

Even though the crisis of hunting is temporarily out of the way, the palace is still under the control of the queen, and Bernard can only die if he rushes back.

The queen was originally an ordinary fisherman's daughter. With her mature and capable way of handling things and her glamorous appearance, she ascended to the position of queen, and became the actual ruler of the first country for more than ten years. Her means can be seen.

She didn't do anything before, because she didn't take Bernard, a little kid, in her eyes, and didn't want to care about children.

But Bernard, who is now an adult, has really shaken the foundation of her rule, and even won over half of the nobles in the first few years.

The king suffered from a serious illness on the night of his marriage and was paralyzed for life, unable to do anything. Therefore, the queen has no heirs.

Bernard is the only direct bloodline of the royal family and the only legal heir of the first kingdom.

In terms of emotion and reason, Bernard has occupied the high ground, which is also his greatest advantage.

Bernard can find a place to recuperate first, heal the wound on his shoulder, and then gather his scattered deployments, create a momentum to crusade against the queen all over the country, and gather troops to attack the palace.

It's just that there is an extra variable in the current plan.

Walking a little farther away from the hunter's body with a small change in hand, Bernard's walking speed gradually slowed down. He stretched out his hand and pushed the blanket covering the eyes of the cum black to the sides, revealing those eyes that were as clear and black as a deer. pupil of the eye.

The handsome prince raised his chin arrogantly, and asked the elf proudly: "Hey, what's your name?"

He obviously wanted to put on a reserved and noble posture, but the slightly eager ending revealed his impatience.
