Chapter 387 Whose Throne Is(1/2)
Griffin died, and on the most glorious day of his life, he died in the hands of his ex-wife wearing a crown.
The context of this assassination is very clear.
Elena took advantage of her familiarity with the palace and let a group of assassins disguised as palace guards. The Silver Mane King, who was unprepared, was attacked while drunk. He was first controlled by magic and then stabbed in the vital points by a dagger that was smeared with poison.
The Silver Mane King died in the arms of Queen Caro who arrived.
Elena denounced Griffin for being ruthless and unrighteous to him, taking all the blame on him, and finally committed suicide with a dagger.
Danling City vibrated.
Those who were still immersed in the establishment of the kingdom did not expect the bad news to come so quickly.
Their new king is dead, who will sit on that throne?
Then the nobles and ministers found that the choice did not seem to be in the hands of the people inside the Silver Mane Palace, but depends on the attitude of the Eternal Lord.
Will Master Yanxing support Carol as the queen because of his relationship with Queen Carol?
But Queen Carol did not give birth to a child for the former king.
And there are more suitable candidates in the Silver Berry Kingdom... Prince Kaia.
However, Yanxing has never expressed his opinion on this issue. He enthusiastically helped Queen Carol prepare for the funeral of the former king.
Prince Kaia stayed in the door because of his excessive grief, and at the same time he kept receiving the noble ministers who came to visit.
Then, rumors spread in the aristocratic circle that Mr. Yanxing loved Queen Carol.
Now that the former king is killed, Queen Carol is in her prime.
If Queen Carol could marry Master Yanxing, she would definitely strengthen the relationship between the Silver Mane Kingdom and the Eternal Territory.
The public opinion became more and more widespread, as if Queen Carol would soon marry into the Eternal Corps.
However, Yanxing did not respond to the rumors, just like the default rumor's authenticity.
Carol found Yanxing.
When the Silver Mane King was assassinated, what Yanxing said to her continued to ring in her ears these days.
"I want to know what happened? How did you know Elena is going to assassinate Griffin?"
At this time, Yan Xing was feeding the birds outside the window. He evenly spread the bread crumbs outside the windowsill, watching the birds jump and pecking.
"Kaiya has asked me...I told him that I like you very much, but you love his father. I chose to be your younger brother because I couldn't get you.
The rest, with your wisdom, combined with the rumors that have recently emerged... should know what happened?"
After Yanxing's reminder, Carol quickly figured out the key inside.
Elena assassinated Griffin not because she was abandoned, but because of her son Kaia.
Griffin died and married Yanxing again.
He is the new king of the Silver Mane Kingdom.
"I can't believe... Griffin is his father, and Elena is his mother. He... how can he do such a thing!"
Yanxing sprinkled all the remaining crumbs, then patted the residue on his hand, turned to Carol and said, "How do I know what Kaia is thinking? I just gave him a reason. How to make a decision is his own business.
Should I be a duke who is far away from the politics of the Silver Mane Kingdom, or should I fight for the throne at all costs?
It was beyond my expectations that Kaia could do so simply.”
Carol took a towel from the hand of the alchemist servant beside him and handed it to Yanxing, and asked, "I am very unwilling to kill Griffin with my own hands. He died too easily and could not make up for the trauma he brought to me."
Yanxing wiped his hands, then looked at Carol and replied: "I think this is the best punishment for Griffin. On the day he became king, he was killed by the person he once loved the most.
I don’t know what he was thinking when the dagger stabbed into his chest, so I must be very unwilling to accept it…”
Thinking about what Griffin would think when he died, Carol's mood improved a little.
"Yes, there is no more cruel punishment than when he died at that moment. At that time, he opened his eyes and grabbed my hand tightly. I could feel how unwilling he was to die.
It’s just that his death made my whole heart nowhere to rest... In the past few years, I have been living in disguise for revenge, and have forgotten what I really look like?
I feel really tired…I don’t know if the ones I’ve done are worth it.”
As he spoke, tears flowed out from the corner of Carol's eyes.
Then she threw herself on Yanxing's shoulder and started crying.
Revenge is her belief in supporting herself to live. In order to avenge, she completely changed herself. But when she thought about her past self, she realized that she had lost a lot of things in the process of revenge.
Yanxing stood and let Carol cry. He couldn't feel Carol's mood, but could feel her sadness and helplessness.
After Carol's mood calmed down a little, Yanxing patted her shoulder and said, "Everything has passed, and you will decide what you want to become in the future.
If you feel unhappy here, I can bring you back to Eternal Corps…”
Carol took a step back and looked at Yanxing and asked, "Don't you need me to rule the Silver Mane Kingdom for you?"
This is our previous agreement.”
Yanxing handed the towel to Carol and smiled, "I didn't expect that some things would develop so quickly before.
If you don't want to sit on that throne, let Kaia sit.
He is disobedient, so I will change another king. I think Kaiya understands this too, he will only rely on me more than his father."
This time when he came to Danling City, Yan Xing saw the influence he had in a place outside the Eternal Territory for the first time.
To be precise, he underestimated the impact of eternal alchemy items on the world. Just like when we are used to using mobile phones, it is hard to imagine what status Big Brother once had.
The widespread promotion of alchemy items for daily life is subversive to the cognitive impact of this world.
The more eternal alchemy items the nobles possess, the more they can feel their exquisiteness and magic, and thus arouse a mentality that they cannot confront them no matter what.
It was precisely because of this mentality that Griffin decided to keep his favorite son away from the political center of the Silver Mane Kingdom.
This practice also shows to the nobles that Yanxing has the qualifications to decide who is the king.
Carol figured it out, too.
No matter who is on that throne, we must maintain our current relationship with the eternal leader.
"What can I do when I go to Eternal Corner?"
Yan Xing recalled what happened in the past few days and couldn't help but sigh: "Do whatever you want... Let go of everything and start again. You are still young and can pursue a better life.
The court struggle was too cruel.”
Griffin's sudden death will inevitably trigger a power struggle within the Silver Berry Kingdom.
Yanxing can push Carol to the top and get rid of Kaia.
However, he could not eliminate all those who covet rights.
Carol must face all kinds of conspiracies if he stays.
Carol wiped the tears on his face with a towel, took a deep breath, and returned to his elegant and luxurious appearance.
"What I lost is no longer found. I am used to this kind of life, and those who follow me have placed their hopes on me, and I cannot escape.
Please support me as the queen of the Silver Berry Kingdom.
I will continue to fulfill my promise to you, and the Silver Berry Kingdom will support Eternal Corps without reservation.”
Yanxing didn't say much, she decided her own way to go in the future.
"Okay... no matter how obedient Kaia is, it's better to feel at ease with you on that throne.
You arrest Kaia immediately after you go back.
After Griffin's funeral is over, he will send Kaia to the gallows."
Carol was shocked: "Catch Kaia directly? But we have no evidence to prove that he was the mastermind of the assassination of Griffin."
Yanxing said: "The arrest of Kaiya must be quick, accurate and ruthless. If he is allowed to run away, there will be endless troubles.
The charge will be discussed when he is caught.
If you want to condemn him, you can always find his guilt."
Carol nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll go back and send someone to arrest Kaia now."
After Caro returned to the palace from the Eternal Concession, he immediately announced that he had evidence of Kaia's intrigue Elena to assassinate the previous king, and sent the palace guards to arrest Kaia.
Kaia also dreamed of Carol being taken away by Yanxing and becoming the king himself.
The Palace Guard raided his residence, and Kaia, who had no idea what happened, was subdued on the spot.
Then he quickly took it into the dungeon of the palace and was under strict supervision by heavy troops.
After King Griffin was assassinated, Prince Kaia's arrest once again caused a huge shock in Danling City.
Moreover, the reason why Queen Carol ordered the arrest of Kaia was that Kaia instructed her mother to kill her father.
This...this is ridiculous.
But Lenovo has recently spread rumors throughout the city.
If Mrs. Carol is really taken away by Yanxing, Kaia will be the biggest gainer of King Griffin's assassination.
To be continued...
