Heart of the Castle

Chapter 29 Part 9 Black Feather, White Feather
"Now is the best chance, the Dragon King has left the lair," the woman's sweet and seductive voice pierced through the wind and reached Siegfried's ears, "Now the noble golden throne is vacant, As long as you walk up the steps, the whole kingdom is at your fingertips."

"The Dragon King has left Fermeyer more than once. Some time ago, he was still fighting for justice in the dusk forest, and saved a little griffin with fluff on its mouth." The man's voice seemed a little hoarse. , but it is not ugly, but with a unique mature charm. "With the protection of the green lion, no matter how big a disaster or trap is, it may not be able to kill him."

"But this time, there are dangers around him. You should know how terrible it is. The deadly dagger has already stuck to his heart, and the Dragon King may shed the last drop of blood at any time. The Marquis of Osiris has hindered us many things, but I'm afraid he won't be able to save the Dragon King's life this time." The woman's voice sounded again, with a gentle tone, but the meaning in the words was colder than the cold wind howling outside the tower.

"What does that have to do with me? He died, I will naturally feel sad, and maybe I will go to the Ashes Fortress to participate in the mourning ceremony." There is not even the slightest sadness in the man's tone, which can be heard It's a completely irrelevant tone. "He's not bad for me if he's alive, but if he's dead... what's good for me?"

"What's the good? My dear lord, what's the good for you to ask?" The woman giggled, her voice was like a string of silver bells hitting each other, clear and sweet. "The Dragon King is dead, so the golden throne will be vacant!"

"That golden throne is too hard. In comparison, a woman's body is more in line with my taste." The man replied lazily.

"Don't be stupid, Grand Duke Raul, save your cover-up, and don't say those sanctimonious things in front of me!" The woman's voice spat hard, "Do you think I can't see anything? You think I guess Don't you come out, what kind of thoughts are hidden under your pleasure-loving skin? You don't want to sit on that chair, why do you secretly raise dead men, those disabled and ugly guys really make you feel pleasing to the eye, Uncontrollable, animalistic? Or is it because they are so skilled and so grateful for your appreciation that they can even die for you?"

After this sentence, there was an embarrassing silence. Siegfried even thought that the conversation between the two people had broken down, and maybe they would turn their backs on each other.However, less than 2 minutes later, the man's voice sounded again, and every word seemed to be trilled with metallic clangs.

"Then what do you want? Your Majesty the Queen? Your son could have taken the throne for granted and be crowned king under the dome of the Ash Fortress. As a mother, don't you want to see that scene?" The man said The voice was full of deep doubts, and there was a trace of imperceptible cruelty. "What good would it do you for me to sit on that chair--or even usurp the throne--that should belong to your son?"

"Boss Bamili Yang once said that you are a suspicious poisonous snake. It seems that he is really right." The woman's voice was dotted with joy, "The person I used to sleep with is finished. From the moment he stepped out of the gate of this city, this result has been doomed, and no one can change it. Now that the kingdom is in a precarious state, my son...ah, Ken...has a sweet face and a gentle voice Little Ken is just like a weak deer, do you think he can sit firmly on the hard and cold golden throne and bear such a burden?"

The man was silent for a while, "It sounds reasonable." He admitted, "But how can you guarantee that after I help you, you will fulfill your promise?"

The woman's voice laughed coquettishly, and seemed to find the topic quite interesting, "Fulfilling the promise? My dear lord, how could you have such an idea? That's right, you can't just sit on the golden throne, Because although Xiao Ken is still underage, he is still the first heir to the throne. If you want to touch him, I will fight with you... But you can become the former Prime Minister and the Regent! What does this have to do with you becoming a king? The difference? This kingdom doesn't need any round-table discussion and irresponsible remarks, it only needs a strong voice, and that is you..."

The woman's voice suddenly dropped, followed by a series of small and wet voices, sealing the rest of her words in her mouth.Siegfried felt a little strange in his heart, and at the same time was eager to see who it was talking to.Curiosity quickly gained an overwhelming advantage. Siegfried carefully found a brick that looked solid, stepped on it, and then slowly lowered his whole body, clasping the joints of the brick tightly with his hands, bit by bit. Get closer to the window that made the sound.

Siegfried saw a scene that made her face suddenly flush with heat.

There was a strange muffled sound outside the window, and then the plaster rustled down along with the broken bricks.The woman's voice was cut off suddenly like a knife, she opened her eyes like green emeralds, and her whole body became stiff.

"What sound?" The man realized something was wrong, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the window.Siegfried, who fell down, managed to grab the corner of the window sill, looked at the two stunned people with a bewildered expression, and complained in his heart why he was so careless, the brick was obviously unstable, and he had to take the risk of stepping on it .

"Hey, both of you, please go ahead, I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything." Siegfried's embarrassing voice seemed to lift the spell of stillness in the room, and the woman uttered a sound that was enough to make people's hearts ache. Jumping and screaming sharply, the man rushed up like a cheetah, his powerful hands tightly grasping Siegfried's black robe.

"Who are you!" The man's roar made Siegfe feel dizzy. This guy's face looks like he is 70 or 20 years old, but his body is like a strong young man in his [-]s. "How did you get here? What did you hear just now?" Siegfried was overwhelmed by the series of questions, and could only watch the man's mouth open and close with wide blank black eyes.

"Whether she hears or not, kill the brat!" the woman screamed.

"I am a knight, and knights should not attack unarmed women and children." The man replied firmly.

"Then what do you want to do?" The woman leaned over, holding a very sharp-looking dagger in her hand, "If you don't want to stain your hand red, then I'll do it, but... I don't think a person even like this Those who dare not do such things can become the helm of the precarious Arthurian dynasty!"

"...You are right. So remember, I have done everything for you." The man sighed and said, then continued to firmly grasp the black robe with his left hand, and strangled Siegfried's slender neck with his right hand .

His hand was suddenly empty, and then many black feathers flew up, completely obscuring his vision.The man let out a roar, and bright flames of battle energy suddenly rose from his hands. The golden light seemed to be holding the sun in his palm, and the black feathers were instantly burned by the high-heat battle energy.However, it was too late, the man could only watch helplessly as the black robe on Siegfried disappeared, and his small body fell backwards into the void!
