Sinmonger Chapter 15: Who has the final say?
"What did you say?" snarled Anthony Witstock (fourth prince), grabbing the collar of a Praetorian guard, "Are you blind? Don't you know who I am?"
"I don't think he's blind, but tired of living. .+?(.+bsp;s*" Baldwin Wittstock (the second prince) said in a gloomy tone, compared to that The fourth emperor's younger brother, who is holding his breath, comes, his personality is colder and more ruthless.
This scene took place in a corridor somewhere in the palace. A small guard of guards actually stopped the three princes here, and the place where they continued to move was the palace where the emperor was.
"Sorry, Your Highness, the order I received is..." The leading janitorial guard was slapped in the face by Anthony before he finished speaking.
"You **** dog!" Anthony yelled, completely forgetting his upbringing and personal image, and punching and kicking the janitor.
Although there is fire in his heart, the Praetorian Guard is far from being unbearable. These people who came to the palace as errands were already transformed when they were castrated, not to mention your prince whose fighting ability is worse than that of a street scoundrel. In terms of the transformation intensity of the imperial guards in the palace, it is similar to hl The Cleaner Squad is not comparable to each other, and even those with paper-level abilities may not lose. So being slapped a few times and kicked a few times by ordinary people doesn't really hurt or itch for them.
"Is the order you received from His Majesty?" The eldest prince Christopher Wittstock had been standing beside him silently, and now he finally spoke: "It's still the order of Prince Krause. Hmph..." He snorted coldly: "He hasn't ascended the throne yet. You'd better find out the situation."
Baldwin said next to him: "And you..." He looked at the line of guards in front of him: "Let me make it clear. I want to be full..."
"The order is indeed given by me." Krause appeared behind his three brothers, and his words interrupted Baldwin's threats loudly, "Brothers, why are you going to embarrass these loyal ones? Soldiers."
"Hmph... What kind of loyalty are they doing? Is it for the emperor, for the empire... or for you?" Baldwin sneered.
"Does that make any difference?" Krause looked relaxed and walked in front of his brothers like a stroll.
He really doesn't look like them at all, no matter his appearance or temperament, when Krause stood in front of the three, he couldn't imagine that they were brothers.
The first prince Christopher is thirty-five years old and tall and burly. His appearance is very majestic, and his character is calm, which can be regarded as quite the style of the emperor. However, he is politically determined to maintain the current high-handed tyranny of the empire, he even thinks. Today’s empire is still too kind to the people, the royal family and nobles should have more power, and those subjects have been too presumptuous, and more new laws should be promulgated to remind them to realize their low status.
The second prince Baldwin is a typical narcissist. He is the same age as the dead third prince, Victor. He is thirty-three this year, but he is more than the fat man who looks too drunk and looks like he is in his forties. , Baldwin is clearly very concerned about his appearance. He treats his body as pious as a temple. He has insisted on a healthy and good diet and systematic exercise for many years. Their princes always enjoy special food in heaven. Coupled with an excellent medical team and fitness trainer, Baldwin's appearance looks less than 30.
Baldwin even starred in movies, yes, he was never trained to act, and honestly, he wasn't talented, but he did. He invested himself, picked the script, and forced a big director to direct. During the filming process, Baldwin turned the farce into a situation of writing, directing and acting. By the way, he also ruined several first-line actresses who were invited to play. As a result, the film's box office was so bad after its release that the leaders of the cultural departments of various county governments had to steal the box office and falsely report data to appease the second prince's self-esteem. As for the quality of this film, it's so rotten to the point of crying ghosts and gods. Various video clips mocking and ridiculing this film have gone viral on the Internet, and it has become a popular trend for a period of time. There are endless spoof works, and the relevant departments have no time to harmonize. Even the famous director of the movie. Duo said, "I can only say that this is a miracle."
In short, it is obvious that His Royal Highness Baldwin's filming experience has not been smooth. To put it more informally, this guy has shown himself in front of people all over the world, and the character of this guy can be seen from this incident. And he should be the one who hates Krause the most among all the princes. The reason is... our little brother tea fairy is very handsome. Maybe when you hear this for the first time, you may find it a bit shocking, but if you think about it, it's not difficult to understand.
As a prince, Baldwin has never been mad at anyone in his life, has access to most material pleasures, and is extremely narcissistic about everything about himself. But one day he found out that there is such a person with high IQ, strong ability, and handsome appearance, who is maintained like a high school student in the wind and rain all day long. The most hated person is that this person is his own imperial brother. . Baldwin is envious, jealous, and hateful, and it's only when the seventh brother is not in Tiandu, out of sight and out of mind. From the time when Krause returned to Tiandu and began to regent, Baldwin became the one who fought him the most among the princes.
Finally, let's talk about the fourth prince, Anthony Witstock. He should be regarded as a very capable prince. He has been involved in various government affairs of the empire for a long time, and he handles it fairly well. Before the rise of Krause, Anthony and Christopher were generally considered to be the most powerful contenders for the throne. However, although his ambitions are big, the city government is not deep and sophisticated enough. For example, the beating and scolding of the Guards just now is not something other princes will do.
So far, these three are the biggest obstacles to Krause's ascension to the throne. There are also two princes, namely Krause's fifth and sixth brothers... Basically, they are not involved in the struggle for the throne. . The old fifth Yog is a mediocre person, and he is greedy for pleasure and has no ambitions. Even the stupid minister can see that this stupid hat will ascend to the throne unless all his other brothers are dead. Even if he really becomes the emperor . It is estimated that it is no different from the likes of Hu Hai and Liu Ao. As for the sixth Wilfred. People are not bad, but they are cowardly by nature, and have no extraordinary ability. He is self-aware, so he never asks about political affairs. Not long ago, when the sky was changing, Krause chose to be wise and protect himself. Australia went on a "holiday".
At this very moment, in the early hours of the morning, Christopher, Baldwin and Anthony came. Naturally, it was because he had already received the wind and knew that the attack of Freedom Front and Xingtian was coming. They didn't come together by appointment, they just met in the corridor, and the three of them had the same purpose. It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well-known, and it is nothing more than wanting to use the reason of rebelling against the organization to let Wittstock V cancel this meditation position, even if it is delayed for a while.
Faced with Krause's almost arrogant answer, Anthony immediately had a seizure. He glared angrily and shouted loudly: "Klauser! Do you really think that you have already sat on the throne? Don't say that you are not the emperor yet. , even if the enthronement ceremony is completed, it is not your decision on this day!"
"Then... fourth brother, tell me..." Krause replied tepidly: "Who has the final say? You?"
"I..." Anthony couldn't speak a word from the other party's words, and his face was flushed. His fists were clenched, his teeth were about to break, but he didn't dare to do anything to Krause after all. Anthony is not stupid, he can fight a janitor, but Seventh... If he fights back, he will lose his life.
"Seventh brother, why are you talking to the fourth emperor like this." Christopher was still calm, his tone was still calm, and he said slowly: "We just have something to discuss with the emperor, but you sent someone to do it. Obstruction. What is the meaning of this? Could it be... are you holding the father hostage?"
"Hmph... I think he has long since held the father hostage, and said what the Zen position... I've never heard of it. It's probably because you were under house arrest and intimidated to give the order, right?" Baldwin said in a helpful voice.
"Well..." Krause pondered: "Do you think so..."
"What? I was hit by the big brother, and I'm speechless?" Anthony immediately came to his senses when he saw this. His voice increased a bit.
Christopher sneered, he knew. This kind of charge similar to conspiracy to usurp the throne can't be held by anyone, so Krause must let them go, "Hey second brother, there is no evidence, how can it be conclusive, I think there is a misunderstanding in this. "..." He pretended to say something to Baldwin, then turned to look at Krause: "Seventh brother, how is it? Can we see the father now?" He smiled proudly, as if he had succeeded. , he has even conceived in his mind the rhetoric to persuade the emperor to cancel the cemetery ceremony.
"No." Krause replied very calmly. Just as he said this, he sensed the energy of the three people of the inverse cross appearing in the floating island of Tiandu. And in the next few seconds, from the activation of the lord's ability to the action of Jueying, Krause also noticed everything.
His expression did not change at all. But his brothers did not realize that the terrifying threat had come at this moment, and they were still working hard for their own purposes.
"Then you admit that you are holding your father hostage?" Baldwin shouted sharply, his voice changing when he was excited.
"I'm tired of playing this kind of ignorant game with you guys." Krause's polite tone was gone. He suddenly showed a very aggressive savagery, from his demeanor to his aura, All three people in front of them started to tremble involuntarily, "Let me tell you what will happen next..."
His three older brothers were silent, and Krause's eyes seemed to be invisible hands, choking their necks, and no one dared to jump out a word.
"You will shut up, go back to your dens, hide in your respective shelters, and an hour later, when the gunfire sounds outside, you will hold your heads and tremble," Krause said. : "And I, today, will repel the attack of the resistance organization, and successfully ascend the throne. In the days to come, I will deprive you of the extravagant and extravagant life, and deprive all nobles and royal families of this kind of life, according to my thoughts. Rebuilding this empire, no one can stop me, you can't, and you don't deserve it. The resistance will be wiped out by me, the empire will once again unite the earth, and become stronger than it was a hundred years ago, and will no longer be dominated by most It is hated by the people." Every word he said was clearly heard in the ears of the three, and the guards behind him could hear it clearly. This horrific content has not stopped: "At that time, if you can show enough humility and repentance, I can consider letting you live, not only without the judgment you deserve. You can also live without food and clothing until natural death. Until that day. I will give you old age and death just like my father.”
"You... hehe...haha...are you crazy?" Christopher forced a smile. He tried to maintain the tone of the other person's grasp, but his voice was trembling." Do you know what you're talking about?" He took a few steps back, raised his hand and pointed at Krause, shouting, "Guards! Did you hear that! What are you still doing? Get him!"
No one moved, and the Guards didn't seem to hear it.
"Yes... yes! Say you! You heard it! This is treason! Do you want to be accomplices? This is not a crime that can be solved by death!" Baldwin also said.
Still no one moved, the Guards were not sure if they were scared stupid, or because they were afraid of the strength of Krause's fierce-level ability, and did not dare to step forward.
"Don't be afraid of him! This is Tiandu. If he dares to act rashly, the Tianwei will come immediately! When the lord and Jueying arrive, if you continue to be obsessed with it, you will be dead without a corpse!" Anthony also shouted.
The Guards remain on deaf ears. Stand still, unmoved.
Clauze chuckled lightly and walked towards his royal brothers. He walked very slowly and said as he walked: "Look at you... wearing leather shoes handmade by Crown County, three thousand yuan a piece. Shirt..." He said, helping Baldwin adjust the collar of his shirt with his hands, who was so pale that he didn't even dare to breathe, "The sapphire on the brooch is bigger than my eyes...hehe." Crow Ze smiled gently, "And the reason you got this. It's just blood."
"G... no, seventh brother, I... we are... brothers..." Baldwin had a strong feeling that his head would be screwed off at any moment, so he stammered Such a sentence like a begging for mercy.
"We are born blood relatives, this is a fact that I can't choose and can't avoid, but it does not mean that we are 'family'." Krause said: "What your mothers did to me and my mother in the past What you've done, as well as the various incidents between you and me, have proved... It's not a wise move to talk about family love at this moment." He paused: "Back to what I said just now... Please look at the things behind my back. People." He glanced back at the praetorian guards: "In order to support their families, in order to gain less than one ten thousandth of your power. They gave up a very important thing...dignity."
Krauzer raised a hand and waved his finger lightly. Unlike the panicked shouts of his brothers, he didn't even have to say a word, just moved his hand. Those janissaries reacted, and six people quickly walked out of the queue. A group of two, standing side by side, stood on either side of the three princes.
"And at this moment, you are still arrogantly 'ordering' them to arrest me." His tone revealed ridicule and pity: "As early as more than half a year ago, when I was still recovering, I would I have gradually rewritten the logic program in their bodies about obeying orders. Now the guards of the palace are all my people, and now these people can smash your knees and twist your arms according to their own will. will force a break in action."
Hearing this, Anthony only felt numbness behind his back. He didn't even dare to look at the janitor who was beaten and scolded by him just now, for fear that something bad would happen after the eye contact.
Clauze said to Anthony: "Fourth brother, you should learn more from the elder brother, and don't say some stupid things that are worse than nonsense in the future, and make yourself humiliated." His actions were unwise, and at the same time to answer Anthony's previous sentence, "I have not officially ascended the throne, but you have to be clear, even if I haven't become the emperor, the capital of heaven, it is I who have the final say."
Clauzer moved his gaze to Baldwin, who was closest to him, "Second Emperor, I know you've always looked down on me..."
"No...I..." Baldwin even tried to deny it with a fluke.
Klauser continued what he just said: "...for some very ridiculous reasons." He snorted and shook his head: "I hope you can understand that I have not been kind to you all this time. I just disdain with you. People of this level have too many connections and waste my precious time."
"I... I get it." Baldwin's fear had already taken precedence over other emotions, and his reaction was purely instinctive.
"As for you...Brother~IndoMTL.com~ Krause took a step sideways and met Christopher's gaze: "You and I have different political views..." He paused deliberately before continuing. : "This is a very dangerous thing for you. "
Christopher swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and the seventh brother could no longer understand what he said - this kind of danger is one-sided, basically life-threatening.
"Finally, just in case the three of you naively think who else in this city will take your orders against me, or attempt to solve the problem with private armies... let me state this beforehand." Crowe Ze's words were like a knife to the throat: "No matter what you plan to do, the consequences are at your own risk."
Christopher, Baldwin and Anthony, at this moment, it can be said that they are completely desperate. The idea of competing for the throne has already flown out of the sky, and they are worried about what kind of miserable situation will be in the future.
"Send off the three Your Royal Highnesses." After Krause said what he wanted to say, he ordered in an understatement.
Therefore, the six janitorial guards stepped forward, "escorted" the three, and walked silently to the outside of the hall... (To be continued..)
