In retrospect, the lizardman that Kuros met on the road at the time seemed to be talking to a local resident.This scene is really incredible, subverting everyone's previous impression of the subhuman race.When it comes to subhuman races, ordinary people have always thought of them as representatives of barbarism and brutality, and often avoid them.Of course, there are also some subhuman races that are highly similar in appearance to humans, such as elves and cat-eared people.Because they conform to human aesthetics and will never get pregnant, those subhuman races are brutally arrested by humans, and eventually reduced to the playthings of the powerful and rich."
Exactly as you say......
Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”Kuros couldn't say anything about the lizardmen, so he changed the subject."
Owen, I heard about your father last year, and I was worried about you.Now I am relieved to see you so busy. ”"I can't be immersed in grief all the time, let the past pass."
At the mention of this, Owen looked sad and said slowly: "Right now, the most important thing is to manage the territory inherited from my father. ”"I'm really sorry, we couldn't come to visit you at the time, we just wrote a letter of condolence and sent it, I don't know if you received it?"
Xinia also said apologetically."
I don't have to apologize, I understand."
Owen smiled, "I received the letter as well, thank you." ”"I knew you would be able to cheer up, but my sister was too worried about you and didn't think about tea all day."
As he said this, Kuros deliberately looked at his sister with a helpless expression."
Brother, what are you talking nonsense!"
Xinia on the side suddenly became anxious, raised her small fist and hammered her brother's arm twice.Owen laughed awkwardly.After the joke, Kuros quickly returned to a serious face and said solemnly, "Owen, you know what?
A major event has happened in the royal capital, and the current situation is not very stable.So as soon as the winter was over, my sister and I hurriedly set off for Dongsheng Fortress. ”It turned out that they had returned so late, and the Yum siblings probably didn't know what Duke Eddie had done to Frontier Town last winter."
Oh?
What happened?
”Owen has been focusing all his energy on developing the territory lately, and has not paid attention to the news from the royal capital."
The king is sick."
Kuros said word for word.Hearing this, Owen was silent for a while.To be honest, as long as he doesn't get involved in Frontier Town, he doesn't have much interest in what happened in the royal capital.After a while, Owen asked, "Who is the heir to the throne?"
”"On the surface, it's the third prince, but it's hard to say who it will be in the end."
Kuros replied."
How?""
The third prince has in his hands the will made by the old king on his deathbed, which designates him to inherit the throne, but the eldest prince will never agree.Now, there should have been a battle for the throne on the royal capital's side, and it is not clear whether the winner has been determined or not. ”"I see."
Owen groaned.Do you want to go to war?
Whoever won the victory in the end was the common people around the royal capital who suffered.The war should not affect here, and when the new king is confirmed and ready to hold the enthronement ceremony, he will send some congratulatory gifts himself, Owen thought to himself."
Originally, we planned to visit you as soon as we returned."
Speaking of this, Kuros suddenly frowned, seemingly slightly dissatisfied."
However, I learned something from my father, and there was a bit of an argument, which caused some delay.""
What's wrong again?"
Owen asked."
My father said that the four major families of the Dongsheng Fortress have all decided to support the eldest prince to inherit the throne.By the time my sister and I returned, the army had already departed. ”Isn't it just taking sides?
Once the nobles are on the right side, they can reap huge benefits from the nobles who are on the wrong side.Whenever there is a transfer of power, the fight between the different princes' factions will be extremely fierce, either you die or I live.This is the game of thrones, and you have to play it with your life."
Kuros, are you not optimistic about the Great Prince, are you worried that the Dongsheng Fortress is on the wrong side?""
Let's just put it that way."
Kuros nodded, "The main thing is the third prince, it's dangerous. ”"Oh?
Can you elaborate on that?
”Owen suddenly had some interest.Mainly because he is not familiar with both princes, and there will be a new king among the two, and it is not a bad thing to know a little."
Let me tell you!
My brother and I lived in the royal capital for three years, attended some dinners, and learned about the two princes from other nobles. ”Sinia hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is a martial man, he prefers bloody weapon warfare to magic, and his personality is big and informal.And the third prince is very smart, and at the same time likes to mess with flowers and grass everywhere, has an affair with many women, and is ruthless in doing things, there was a little nobleman who said bad things about him behind his back was divided into corpses and died at home, and it is rumored that the third prince sent someone to kill him. ”If you say a bad word, you will die tragically at home, is the third prince so ruthless?
From this point of view, Kulos's worries are not unreasonable, the eldest prince is really not the opponent of the third prince."
If the eldest prince can succeed in inheriting the throne, it's fine, I'm afraid that the third prince will win."
Kuros worried, "With his temperament, it is estimated that he will not let go of the Dongsheng Fortress easily." ”Since the three had not seen each other for a long time, the conversation lasted for a long time.Knowing what was happening in the royal capital, Owen had to prepare in advance, just in case.Of course, Owen and the others are not discussing major events from beginning to end, and they will start to talk about some interesting things in the royal capital later.Later, under Owen's hospitality, the Yum siblings stayed in the castle for one day, and the next day they were ready to go back.Before boarding the ship, Owen specially presented some new specialties of Frontier Town - white high-grade paper.The brother and sister were also very interested in this new alternative to parchment, so they happily accepted it.As the ship departed for the south, Kuros stood on deck looking at the civilians toiling on the shore.Suddenly, he turned to Sinia next to him and said, "My sister, I finally met Owen, I thought you would tell him what you wanted, but in the end I didn't say anything." ”"Brother!"
Sinia glared at Kuros, then kicked him over.This time, Kuros reacted quickly, dodged the kick, and then pretended to be shocked, "What?
Don't you like Owen?
That night......
"AhhDon't say it!
”Sinia exclaimed.The sound caught the attention of the ship's crew, who turned their gaze to wonder what had happened between the siblings.Seeing this, Xinia was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "Kuros Yum, you will only bully me, hum!"

”With these words, the discouraged Sinia turned and entered the cabin."
Oops!
I my sister off again. ”Kuros reproached himself.Back in her room, Sinia sulked on the bed with the quilt."
Brother, this big idiot, how can a woman take the initiative to chase a man?
I also wanted to use my charm to attract Owen, but he just didn't look at me much, what should I do......"
Sinia couldn't help but recall that when she first entered the Academy of Magic, Victor Corette took the opportunity to bully her, and the first person to stand up and stop her was Owen who had just arrived at the time.If only time could stand still forever, she thought.
