Chapter 313 The truth ten years ago
Sword Castle has always been the traditional sphere of influence of the royal family, and the history of the Beifeng family's allegiance to the royal family can be traced back to the founding of the country.Logically speaking, families like theirs can be said to be loyalists of the royal family. Even if the royal family has suspicions about them due to certain factors, they will never show it, it will only make people despise.However, the reality turned out to be so absurd. After attacking Istaron, the royal family stretched out their hands to Sword Fort with unsatisfied intentions.

Things start ten years ago, which is a very delicate point in time.El and Tiana knew that the Oakland royal family secretly plotted against the White Lion family at that time, murdering the former Duke Caesar and Knight Golden Lion Leonard.

At that time, El couldn't understand at all what kind of mentality the royal family was in. He waved the butcher knife at his loyal ministers just based on the truth and an illusory prophecy, and he still refused to forgive him until ten years later, regardless of the raging plague. Drag Istaron into the abyss.Tiana once believed that the main reason for this was that Istaron was very prosperous that year, which affected the majesty of the royal family. This can be said to be the only reason that can explain the past.

But from the perspective of Sword Castle, Sima Ke told them the story of the year in another way.

The root of the problem can be traced back to the history of the founding of the Kingdom of Auckland. If we talk about it in detail, we may not be able to finish it in three days and three nights. Part of some ancient empire.Because of a series of historical events thousands of years ago, the founder of the country led his knights to leave the empire, and some nobles of the original empire also stood by his side and supported him to establish a new kingdom.

The army commanded by the former king when the country was founded, gradually developed into the current northern faction, that is, the current royal family faction, and those nobles who later became vassals became today's southern noble faction.In fact, the Kingdom of Auckland was essentially an alliance of nobles. The relationship between the southern nobles and the royal family was initially an alliance rather than loyalty. It was only because of the personal prestige and strength of the former king that he chose to support him as king.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the sea has changed, and the covenant of that year has long been buried in history.The Kingdom of Auckland has spent thousands of years as a complete country, and the northern royal family and the southern aristocratic faction have gradually evolved from the close relationship at the beginning to the current situation of life and death.

Of course, the above is just an introduction to the historical background. Except for the northern aborigines like El, it is not an important secret that any inland person who is randomly found is familiar with this history.What Simako really wanted to talk about was the upheaval that took place in the upper echelons of the Oakland Kingdom ten years ago.

The former king of Auckland, Hattu VI, was a wise monarch. During his 25 years of ruling the kingdom, the national strength of the Kingdom of Auckland has been steadily rising. The heirs of the Four Horsemen family, Knight Leonard, Earl Kemal, etc.At that time, everyone was full of confidence in the kingdom, and everyone believed that Oakland would usher in a second great era of opening up the northern border.

However, fate always likes cruel jokes, and this era of ZTE ended in a dramatic way that no one expected.Back then, in order to reintegrate the power of the two major factions in the south and the north, Hattu VI chose to marry the only daughter of the Duke of Menia in the south as his queen.

It was supposed to be a happy feast for both parties, but in the end it turned into a regrettable tragedy.Hattu VI stood too high and looked too far away, but he ignored the feelings of the beautiful Miss Menia himself.It was a successful marriage, but a failed relationship.Miss Menia couldn't have love for an old man who was 30 years older than herself, and she didn't have enough talents to control the queen's throne, so she had to have fun all day long.

Two years later, that is, ten years ago now, this loveless marriage finally led to disaster.The queen of Menia, longing for emotional comfort, had something that shouldn't have happened with a handsome young knight. In order to save his lover, the knight who was obsessed with the queen resolutely drew his sword and assassinated Hattu VI.It is really a pity that the old King I, who was so famous, died at the hands of an insignificant person when he was about to fulfill his ambition.

At this time, Queen Menia had given birth to a healthy child for Hattu VI, and Hattu VI had no other heirs, so this child was naturally recognized as the next king.But the royal faction refused to recognize the identity of the new king, because no one believed that it was a simple tragedy. The queen's family, the queen's love, the queen's lover... the coincidence of all aspects gathered together, it becomes a fool who can understand the identity of the new king. Look out for the conspiracy.

The royal faction did not believe in the queen. They believed that the child was a bastard born to the queen and her lover. Some people pointed out more bluntly that it was because the old king discovered this secret that he was killed. A tragedy, but an undisputed murder, and the mastermind behind the scenes is the queen!As long as she kills the old king, she can make her child the new king, and at the same time use the power of the patrilineal family to grasp the supreme power!

Of course, in this world where the gods are watching, it is not difficult to verify a child's bloodline.The final result was that the sect of the gods announced that it recognized the orthodoxy of the child's blood, and the murderer was punished as he should, but the result was that the queen, who was supposed to control the power of the royal family, and the royal family had an irreversible conflict. In turn, he received the full support of the southern aristocracy.

After the new king came to the throne, the queen controlled the royal power with the support of the southern nobles, but the royal faction had different voices at this time. Some royal faction nobles believed that they should continue to be loyal to the royal family, while others insisted on The legitimacy of the current royal family was questioned, and these diehards were naturally attacked mercilessly by the queen.

At this point, El and Tiana understood the real reason why the royal family destroyed the Great Wall. The current Auckland royal family regards the royal family as their enemies. He offended the queen severely, so it is not surprising that he was retaliated against.

Similar to the situation in Istaron, the current Patriarch of Sword Castle, Michelle, was also a witness to the court upheaval ten years ago.Out of loyalty to the royal family, he did not express any doubts, but he expressed it with his actions.From then on, he left the capital on the grounds of illness, returned to Sword Castle and never set foot in the outside world.

But sometimes even if you want to keep a low profile, others may not be able to give you this opportunity.After these years of tempering, the queen gradually grew up from an ignorant little girl, and began to regroup the forces split by the royal family.Sword Castle, which has been loyal to the royal family for thousands of years, is her inevitable goal.

Diana showed outstanding swordsmanship talent since she was a child, but it was a time of turmoil, and Michelle hid her away. Except for the Beifeng family, almost no one outside knew that Jianbao had another person who was qualified to be promoted to swordsmanship. Holy genius girl.

However, the queen did not know through which channel she found out that Michael had a daughter, and did not carefully consider the real reason why he concealed his daughter, so she betrothed Diana to her son who was not yet ten years old.

In terms of identity, it was an appropriate choice to choose a queen from a family like the Beifeng family, which had a small sphere of influence, but had a profound heritage and a long history.From a political point of view, the Beifeng family has a pivotal position in the Royal Faction, and choosing to marry them can also gain the understanding of the Royal Faction again, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, there would be no problem with the little king. He may not even understand what marriage means when he is still a child, but there is a bit of embarrassment on the side of Sword Castle.If it were an ordinary girl, Michelle would never say no, but Diana is the future hope of the family, and she is at the critical moment of practicing martial arts and advancing to the sword master.If she is allowed to get married at this time, all the hard work she has done before will be in vain.

To put it another way, compared with the value of a newly promoted Juggernaut, the position of a mere queen cannot be compared at all.As long as a sword master is born again in Sword Castle, he will immediately gain an absolutely transcendent status.At that time, not to mention the queen and the southern nobles, even the emperors of other countries will send out the most sincere invitations at an astronomical price. Only then will the Beifeng family get the real right to choose their future.

Michelo didn't want to dedicate his well-trained daughter to the unknown queen, but his thoughts did not represent the will of all members of the Beifeng family.Since then, there has been another voice within the family that believes that marrying the royal family is the safest choice.

This kind of thinking cannot be said to be wrong, because until now Diana has not really advanced to the Juggernaut.From 1000 years ago to the present, there are many talented young people like her, but there is only one person who has successfully advanced in the end, and that is the sword master who opened up the northern border 300 years ago.

Although Diana's cultivation speed is astonishing, even Patriarch Michelle himself can't guarantee 100% that she will be the next lucky one.

If Diana fails to advance, not only will it not be of any help to the family, but it will also incur the wrath of the queen.And if she succeeds, there will be no conflict between the identities of the Queen and the Juggernaut.

In contrast, this choice is obviously more secure.

　Hmm, I feel that there is a possibility of breaking through the bottleneck. Now I dare not talk about morality. Let's take a look at the situation this week.
