Heart of the Castle

Chapter 536 The Crazy Truth, The Feast of Death
Hearing what Marquis Osiris said, the blood-stained woman brushed away the dirty hair covering her face, revealing the face that belonged to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Lila Yatani Lal Rebak.Including Li Wei, everyone who had seen Her Majesty the Empress Dowager couldn't help taking a breath. This face was originally crowned in the kingdom with the name of beauty, but now it has become pale and dull, almost like a crappy face. It is like a puppet carved by a carpenter according to the appearance of the queen mother.

Queen Mother Lilaya took two steps forward, her movements were stiff, her expression was in a trance, her eyes were looking straight ahead without focus, as if she was immersed in a nightmare from which she would never wake up.In her hand, she cherished a package wrapped in the gold silk cloak of the royal family. The sticky red was oozing drop by drop from under the package, staining the ground at her feet red.However, Queen Mother Lilaya suddenly didn't realize it, and seemed to pin all her hopes on that package.

Seeing the Queen Mother Lilaya approaching step by step, everyone held their breath, even the horses stood quietly, only flicking their tails occasionally, as if they were also paying attention to the accusations that the Queen Mother was about to make.

However, Queen Mother Lilaya just stared at Grand Duke Raul with her dull eyes, without saying a word for several minutes.Grand Duke Raul barely maintained his composure to look at the Empress Dowager at first, but he quickly looked away, as if he suddenly became interested in the two magical epees that Marquis Osiris held on his neck, and studied them carefully. .

Those two heavy swords are both weapons made with elves' unique forging technology. Their style is quite different from the practical style of dwarf blacksmiths. They are as exquisite as two excellent works of art. Above are a pair of sharp weapons for killing.If a master scholar who studies elf culture can observe the wrath of nature so closely, he might be overjoyed, but of course Archduke Raul has no chance with scholars, and the more he looks at it, the more frightened he is, as if the chill on the blade is already like ice. Han's knife was inserted into his throat.

"Look, Marquis Osiris, Her Majesty the Queen Mother Lillaya may have lost her mind due to excessive grief." Grand Duke Raul said cautiously, for fear that his neck would be cut by a razor-sharp sword because of his loud voice. skin. "It's not an option to continue this stalemate. Should you ask His Excellency Cardinal Enoch Sebasta to diagnose and treat Her Majesty the Queen Mother?"

Marquis Osiris raised his brows slightly, and just when he was about to answer, Queen Mother Lilaya seemed to have been lifted from the spell by Grand Duke Raul's voice, her sluggish face suddenly twisted, "Raul—Adams, you A damn poisonous snake!" She screamed and staggered a few steps forward, holding up the thing wrapped in the gold silk cloak with both hands, blood flowed down with this movement, as if a few red snakes were winding around on her arm.

"Look at this, what did you promise?"

The gold cloak fell off, revealing the contents of the package. The corners of Li Wei's eyes twitched violently, and he was so surprised that he could hardly speak.And the other people present were not much better: Director Bamilian froze with his anxiously beating fingers in his sleeves, Instructor Star broke several of his cherished beards, and the cardinal showed a painful expression on his face.Even Thomas Jansen under the Death Scythe banner couldn't help gasping, and changed his posture restlessly on the horse's back.

Wrapped in a gold silk cloak was the head of a young man. The face was swollen and bruised, with bloodstains everywhere. The neck seemed to have been severed by some terrible force, and the wound was bloody.Even so, this head can still vaguely see the beautiful appearance of the shining star.

"Crown Prince Ken Adams... No, it's His Majesty King Arthur XIII!" Li Wei muttered to himself, with a sad expression on his face involuntarily.The important ministers of the kingdom, the knights of the northern border, the knights of death, and the nobles of the royal capital all lowered their heads, expressing their inner sorrow...at least they made a sad appearance.

Only Grand Duke Raul could hardly conceal his joy, he let out a long breath, and the corners of his deliberately drooping mouth trembled.In fact, since Her Majesty the Queen Mother Lilaya walked out of the ruins of the palace alive, he felt that his whole body was soaked in the sewage called regret, and he was always in danger of being destroyed.Since the Queen Mother Lilaya was able to survive, the new king Ken Adams should also have the possibility of surviving. Until this moment, after he saw the head, the tension that had been hanging in mid-air suddenly relaxed.

He even dared to gently push away the blade of the elf epee with his hand. "Lord Marquis Osiris," said Grand Duke Raul with a sincere smile, "I think you must recognize a reality. In any case, His Majesty Ken Adams is dead, and now I have the only surviving royal blood of Arthur on my body." Bloodline. You, who once swore allegiance to the successive King Arthurs, wouldn't it be nice to put your sword on the neck of a real king like this?"

A very obvious look of disgust flashed in the elf's emerald-like eyes, but the sword edge still reluctantly left Grand Duke Raul's neck.The bound power of the oath that Sky Knight received is very strong, and it can be tolerated if it is not stated just now. When Grand Duke Raul said "I am the real king", the hands of Marquis Osiris holding the sword seemed to be restrained. The pain was as unbearable as the iron was scalding, and even the sanctified grudge could not stop the damage.

Seeing Marquis Osiris' stiff expression of reluctance, Grand Duke Raul felt excited for no reason.The loyalty of the head of the Knights of the Iron Guard to King Arthur is unquestionable, and has always been the biggest obstacle to his ascending to the throne.But now the biggest obstacle has become the biggest help, so that Grand Duke Raul can't hide the smile that shouldn't be shown at this moment.

After seeing the death of Ken Adams, he was sure, and the person who breathed a sigh of relief was definitely not just Grand Duke Raul. Li Wei didn't need to observe carefully to see that many nobles in the royal capital were hiding under the masks of pretending to be sad. real mood.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother Lilaya," said Bamilian, the head of the court, bowing deeply, "Her Majesty King Ken Adams has suffered a tragic death. The whole kingdom is in deep sorrow, and our important ministers feel the same. However, the kingdom is in a dire crisis, and I am afraid we cannot last long." Immersed in sadness..."

"Long-term immersion...sadness..." Queen Mother Lilaya's voice seemed a little puzzled, and her dim green eyes turned to Bamili Yang. The sadness contained in it was so deep that it made this eloquent palace The manager's next words were choked in his throat. "What do you mean?"

Grand Duke Raul continued, with a cold and straightforward tone, "The Lord Chancellor means that since His Majesty Ken Adams is dead, it should be the new king—that is, I, His Majesty Raul Adams, who ascended the throne It's time."

"Enthronement?" Empress Dowager Lilaya seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of the word, and chewed it several times in her mouth with a stiff expression, "Enthronement? Enthronement...enthronement! Who wants to be enthroned?"

"Of course it's me." The corner of Grand Duke Raul's mouth drew a happy arc.

"Why... you, you perfidious viper, what qualifications do you have to become king?" Lilaya suddenly roared furiously, and the hands holding her head trembled as if she couldn't bear it.

"Because I am the only blood of Arthur's royal family. I am the younger brother of the Dragon King and the uncle of the new king. I am the only legal heir to the Golden Throne—Raul Adams!" Grand Duke Raul replied arrogantly.

Marquis Osiris looked away unbearably, thinking of serving such a king in the future made him feel sincere pain and sadness.However, this is the foreseeable future. The long lifespan of elves is definitely not comparable to that of humans. If there is no accident, the Marquis of Osiris will not only serve Raul Adams, but also his descendants, even until the Kingdom of Arthur is annihilated. In the long river of history, the life of Marquis Osiris is still far from coming to an end.

"Raul Adams!" Li Wei called out the name of the heir to the throne in an angry tone. The anger in his chest had already made him feel burned, and every word came out with a burning breath. "In order to sit on that golden chair, how many shameful things did you do? Don't you feel any regret for what you have done?"

"Unseen... so what?" Grand Duke Raul turned his head back and showed a mocking smile to the Griffin Lord, with many red and black rays of light shining between his teeth, "Now the throne of the king is in my hands, Who can blame me for my past mistakes? No matter what history records, those can only be regarded as the king's nonsense before he ascended the throne."

"Nonsense... are you talking about treason and... regicide nonsense?" Queen Mother Lilaya walked towards Grand Duke Raul with heavy steps, and her green eyes, like stained emeralds, were fixed on Raul. Grand Duke's face.

Grand Duke Raul had an arrogant expression on his face, looking at the Queen Mother Lilaya who was staggering towards him step by step, there was even a trace of pity in his eyes. "It's so pitiful. I lost my husband and son in a few days. Your Majesty the Queen Mother Lila Yatani Larrebak. If you can maintain the beauty you once had, then I may give you my concubine. Jointly in charge of the Golden Throne."

"Husband and... son? No, no, no... no husband, no son..." Queen Mother Lilaya's voice was low and weak, intermittent and difficult to hear.So Grand Duke Raul leaned over to her kindly, with a deliberately hypocritical sympathy on his face.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please repeat it again, I didn't hear you clearly just now."

"I mean, there is only one person I lost, and that is my brother." Lilaya's voice suddenly became abnormally clear, and Grand Duke Raul's face immediately became stiff, and his hand quickly grabbed the waistband. sword, while straightening the body backwards.

It was too late, Lilaya stretched out her right hand far faster than Grand Duke Raul's reaction speed, and her sharp claws effortlessly pierced the light steel armor protecting Grand Duke Raul's chest, as easily as tearing silk.

Grand Duke Raul let out a hoarse scream, his face contorted in pain, he desperately grabbed Lilaya's wrist with both hands, but he couldn't continue to retreat.Lilaya's right hand not only penetrated into his chest, but also grabbed his heart precisely. If he wanted to forcibly retreat, he would have to keep his own heart first.

This sudden turn of events was beyond everyone's expectations, and Levi Stone, who had always opened up the vision of probing techniques, was no exception, until the Queen Mother Lilaya... or the monster disguised as the Queen Mother Lilaya pierced Laotian. Grand Duke Er's chest, in the field of vision of the probing technique, she still appears as a harmless pale green light spot.

Out of distaste for Grand Duke Raul's shameless behavior, Marquis Osiris has been deliberately standing a little far away from Grand Duke Raul, as if this way he can avoid the disgusting smell emanating from him.In fact, it was useless at all, and the knight still felt uneasy at this distance. At the same time, when Grand Duke Raul was in danger, he failed to help him in the first place.

The sword edge of the wrath of nature was immediately placed on the neck of Queen Mother Lilaya, but it was too late, Grand Duke Raul had already been seriously injured, and the white arm that was deeply inserted into his chest had completely wiped out the heir to the throne. life in the palm of your hand.

"Your Excellency, Sky Knight, please step back, otherwise..." Lilaya calmly issued a threat, while slightly closing her fingers.Grand Duke Raul let out a muffled snort immediately, his eyes almost protruding from their sockets, and a lot of blood-red foam appeared from the corners of his mouth.

"Back...quick...back..." Archduke Raul said in a broken and painful voice, he didn't want to die, the throne was close at hand, and the cardinal was also at the scene, no matter how heavy the injury, he could think method of treatment. "Lilaya...have something...to say, you...let me go...I can...make you queen..."

"Make me queen? Stupid poisonous snake, are you joking?" Lilaya's voice was full of sarcasm, and her dim green eyes suddenly burned in the twilight. So cherished, why don't I think of a way to save the Dragon King's life?"

"Let go of Raul Adams." Marquis Osiris took two steps back with his sword drawn, but the Wrath of Nature was not sheathed, and was ready to attack again at any time, "Your Majesty Lilaya, if you don't want the Queen's position, then What do you want?"

"So what I want is that Ken Adams can sit safely on the golden throne, because that's what he deserves." There was a nostalgic smile on the corner of Lilaya's mouth, but when her gaze When he shifted to the head held in his left hand, the smile added a bit of sadness, "It's impossible now...Ken Adams...my...brother."

The last word pierced Li Wei's chest like a cold sword edge, waking him up from his sadness. The Griffon Lord could hardly believe his ears, but when he turned his head to observe the expressions of other people, he found that it was almost Everyone's face became very ugly.

"Your brother? Isn't he a son?" Marquis Osiris was also taken aback, his hand slipped, and the wrath of nature almost fell into the dust.

"It's true that Ken Adams was born to me, but he is not my son, but my twin brother." Lilaya's smile became very strange, and her skin seemed to be slowly changing, although it was still the same fair And delicate, but there is a faint red light.In addition, the long golden hair on Lilaya's forehead also became a little messy, and a small sharp horn like a ruby ​​was slowly poking out from between the hair.

"My surname is not Rebak, let alone that pretentious Tanilal, but Adams! I am the biological daughter of King Arthur VII, Lilaya Adams!"

A dead silence enveloped the ruins of the palace. The crazy truth told by Lilaya made Li Wei feel breathless, and even the wind in his ears seemed to disappear.He could only try his best to sit upright on the back of the Dark Nightmare in the Northern Territory, his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and the palm of his hand was already dripping with cold sweat.

"Impossible!" Star Tutor Satzi Enheer yelled loudly, "According to historical records, the names of the missing son and daughter of the King of the Army are indeed Ken and Lilaya, but it has been nearly 100 years. It’s the past, no human can have such a long lifespan. And don’t forget, when Queen Lillaya gave birth, I was outside. It’s hard to say whether Ken Adams is the blood of the Dragon King, but it’s definitely the Queen’s own Flesh and blood, there is absolutely nothing that can be questioned!"

"Teacher Star is indeed very knowledgeable, so have you heard of the Abyss Twin Ceremony?" Lilaya slightly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "It is the one that can only be used by twins, transforming one of them into an abyss succubus, and the other A magical ritual that transforms into an embryo parasitic in the body of a succubus."

"You actually used such a vicious magic ritual..." Star Teacher's voice became trembling, and the gorgeous metal chains under his neck collided with each other, "You are crazy, this magic ritual will make your soul fall into the river of Styx forever !"

"Degenerate? So what?" Lilaya answered him with a sneer, "My brother wants to get back the golden throne that belongs to him, and we are one. As long as my brother wants it, I will sacrifice everything for him." Make your wish come true!"

"In short, Lilaya... I don't care whether you are the daughter of the deposed king Arthur VII or the succubus of the abyss, let go of Raul Adams, and in the name of the head of the iron guard knights, I guarantee that you will not be harmed by others. Human harm!" Seeing that Grand Duke Raul's aura gradually weakened, Marquis Osiris said anxiously. "Or if you have any other requirements, you can also bring them up for negotiation together."

"You ask me what I want now? Then I'll tell you..." Lilaya's voice became even crazier. Before the Marquis Osiris whose face changed drastically could react, she suddenly twisted hard without warning, The right hand pulled out a mass of bloody things from the chest of Grand Duke Raul.

Grand Duke Raul immediately uttered a scream, the blood in his mouth went up into the air like a fountain, at the same time, Lilaya kicked him in the chest, causing his body to fly over a distance of more than 20 meters and hit the ground. on the street wall.

There was an uproar among the crowd, and amidst the chaotic noise, Lilaya's voice full of hatred was clearly heard by everyone.

"What I want now is to cut off the cursed blood of Arthur's royal family forever!"
