Living in the Northwest Administrative Province, it could be said that Linley got everything he wanted. In the blink of an eye, he, Bebe, and the second brother, Ankh, had all reached Saint level of power. Their group now had four Saint-level experts. Even the three major trade unions or the four major assassin guilds could not boast such an amount!
It is a very powerful, hidden force.
Unfortunately, in the imperial capital, the opposite was true for Wharton.
In the vast training area at the back of the manor, Wharton wildly practiced with the heirloom of his ancestor, the 'Slayers' warblade. Sweat was pouring profusely from every part of his body, but it seemed that Wharton did not feel tired at all, as he continued to train.
Watching quietly, Housekeeper Hiri shook his head at himself.
"Wharton's just like his dad. He cares too much about love. "Hiri has watched Hogg grow up, and knows how deep the love Hogg feels for Linley's mother, Lina. When Lina is kidnapped, Hogg has been suffering for over ten years. The only reason he had survived was because he had to raise Linley and Wharton.
As soon as Hogg feels that Linley and Wharton can grow up on their own, he throws everything away to investigate his wife's whereabouts. In the end, he paid for it with his life.
“Wharton is the same. His Majesty the Emperor did not completely cut off all his expectations. He only asked Wharton not to rush over, and that there was no need for the Seventh Princess to get married that quickly. But Wharton has become like this .. ”Hiri continues to sigh.
Housekeeper Hiri had no idea that it wasn't just Hogg and Wharton who were like this. Linley was the same.
"Groooowls. ”
After the growl of this beast, Wharton slowly stopped brandishing the war knife in his hand. After years of painstaking practice, Wharton had reached an extremely high level of proficiency with warblades. The roar of a savage beast that had just come out was one of the hallmarks of the war style he had developed.
“Kakek Hiri's. "Wharton looked at Housekeeper Hiri, squeezing a smile on his face.
After letting go of all his frustrations now, Wharton felt a little better inside.
"Wharton, don't be so sad. You and the Seventh Princess still have a chance. Hiri laughs. "I think the reason His Majesty the Emperor delayed was because it was very difficult for him to choose between you and Caylan. ”
Wharton nodded.
Wharton actually understood a lot about the current Emperor.
He was an Emperor who highly valued human talent, and he was also quite a decisive man. But he has one weakness. That weakness is – bias! Extreme bias!
Everyone in the imperial capital knew this.
For example, twenty years ago, the managing clan of the Southeast Administrative Province had made some mistakes. As they had no support from a Saint-level expert, in the end, their clan was searched by the Emperor. At that time, many clans wanted to take over the Southeast Administrative Province. But in the end, the Emperor had actually given his only younger brother, Duke Julin [Yu'lin], authority over the Southeast Administrative Province.
Anyone who was close to the Emperor, he tended to lean towards.
Caylan's father, the Left Prime Minister of the Empire, Judd Darryl [Jia'de Da'li'er], grew up with the Emperor. They are in good relationship with each other. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he naturally elevated Judd Darryl to high rank, eventually elevating him as the Imperial Left Premier. He possessed immense power, and could be described as second only to the Emperor himself.
The Emperor, who had close ties to the Imperial Left Premier, was naturally also very partial and protective of Caylan.
Moreover, Caylan was an extremely talented and valuable person. It was natural for the Emperor to approve Caylan's attempt to seduce Nina. However, Wharton also seduced Nina, and Nina herself liked Wharton. This made the Emperor doubtful.
Caylan and Wharton were both extremely talented.
He loves Caylan, but he also loves Nina.
Caylan's father was his best friend and was one of the pillars of the Empire. But Wharton was a Dragonblood Warrior.
This is a very difficult choice to make!
"I understand what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking. For him to refuse my direct request to be allowed to marry Nina meant that it was not easy for the two of us to be together. "Wharton sighed.
“Wharton, you need to have confidence. ”Home helpers Hiri push.
Wharton forced a smile. “Kakek Hiri, I know what the situation is. In the Empire, the decree of His Majesty the Emperor was an absolute law. The only person he feared was the God of War himself. That was why I originally took part in the competition to become an honor student. I want to build a relationship with the God of War. As long as the God of War is willing to help me, everything will be set. ”
War Gods. The true foundation and pillar of the O'Brien Empire.
A single word from the God of War could make the Emperor abdicate without daring to say a word of complaint. After all, the God of War was the founding Emperor of the O'Brien Empire, and he was also a God-level expert who stood at the peak of the entire Yulan continent.
"Slow down . No hurry. ”Housekeeper Hiri entertain.
"Mr Prince, the Seventh Princess has arrived. ”An officer walked to the training page and said respectfully.
"Nina's coming?" Wharton was surprised.
Although the two were in a very close relationship, Nina rarely came to visit him at his residence. Wharton immediately took a quick rinse, changed into new clothes, then went to the main room to see Nina.
Inside the main hall.
The expression of happiness was on Nina's face. The female officer behind him laughed softly. "Daughter, what kind of expression do you think the Lord Count would count on his face when he heard this news?"
"What kind of expression does the big trash have?" Nina pondered the question, her laughter becoming more lively.
As she thought and chatted, Nina suddenly heard footsteps. Turning around, he saw a large and powerful figure walking in, as tall and as strong as a wargod. Staring at this familiar figure, Nina felt a sweet feeling in her heart. In his heart, Wharton was already a pillar of his mental support.
“Nina, why did you come to my place? Aren't you afraid that your Imperial father will scold you? "Wharton laughed as he walked in.
Nina pouty. "He can scold me if he wants to. I want to come. ”
Looking at the adorable expression on Nina's face, Wharton felt a warm and gentle feeling in his heart. He sat down next to Nina and held her hand. “Nina, judging by the look on your face, I think you're hiding something from me. ”
Nina furrowed her nose, saying happily, “I can't hide anything from you. I'd like to tell you the good news. ”
"Good news? What good news? Has your Imperial father changed his mind and decided to allow me to marry you? "Wharton said casually.
The Emperor's words were as good as gold. How could he casually take back what he said?
"Of course not . "Nina's smile is very bright.
"Then what is it?"
Nina's expression grew solemn. "Two days ago, you spoke to my Imperial father, but he disagreed. I felt very unhappy, so I thought of something. I went straight to Caylan's brother. ”
Nina giggles. “Okay, stop guessing. I just had a chat with brother Caylan. I told her that the only thing I felt for her was the affection due to the older brother. We grew up together, and he was really like a big brother to me. I asked Brother Caylan to help us both. I told Brother Caylan that if I leave you, Wharton, I won't be able to live. ”
Wharton suddenly felt very touched.
"Sister Caylan was silent for a long time, but in the end, he agreed that he would talk to His Majesty the Emperor, and that he would abandon his pursuit of me and allow us to be together. "Smile Nina incandescent.
"Caylan's giving up?" Wharton's surprised.
Wharton had been in the imperial capital for a long time now, and had interacted with Caylan several times. Wharton could clearly feel the love Caylan felt towards Nina. He's really in love with her. However, Caylan had decided to give up. Wharton felt very touched, while at the same time, he began to admire Caylan.
“Kakak Caylan has given up, while others are not much of a threat. As for that Lamonte, in the heart of my Imperial father, he cannot compare to you. "A very happy expression was on Nina's face. "Lunk is great, nothing can stop us from being together now. ”
The excitement!
There was no way he could stop this feeling of joy and excitement from swelling in his heart. The most troublesome competitor and the headache that confronted him voluntarily gave up. This kind of sudden and unexpected joy made Wharton feel slightly dizzy and dizzy.
Staring at Nina's incandescent smile, Wharton felt even more touched than before.
"really. Nothing will prevent us from being together. "Wharton held onto Nina tightly.
Linley, Bebe, Haeru, Rebecca, Leena, Jenne, Zassler, and Barker and his brothers left Cloudpeaks Village, walking towards the provincial capital of Basil.
The provincial capital of Basil. The castle of the Jacques clan.
Linley's group had arrived at the gate.
"Who came before us?" The castle guards snapped at them from afar. The Jacques Clan was the local hegemony of the Northwest Administrative Province. Their headquarters was not a place where just anyone could enter.
The five brothers, Gates, immediately shouted loudly, "Go tell McKenzie that our Lord Linley has arrived. ”
"Who's making so much noise outside ?!"
A familiar voice shouted. Linley carefully gazed towards the direction of the voice. Indeed, the very plainly dressed young man, Albert, came out in a hurry amidst a number of servants.
Seeing this group of Linley, Albert's countenance changed.
"You're called Ley, right? How dare you come to my house? ”A cruel and sinister expression is on Albert's face. “I didn't expect the six people belonging to the Radiant Church would not be able to kill you. But my Jacques clan is not easily intimidated by people like you. ”
At the same time, Albert also noticed that behind Linley, there was Jenne, as well as Rebecca and her sister.
Jenne's skin was as beautiful as flower petals in a puddle, while Rebecca and Leena had a certain mysterious grace that was very alluring.
"How could this man get so many beautiful women to follow him?" Albert was very sad.
"How dare you come to cause trouble at the gates of the Jacques clan? The men! Catch 'em! ”Albert order hard immediately.
The surrounding guards all charged forward, but before Linley made a single step, Barker and his brothers charged forward.
“Turn them. "Said Linley calmly.
"course . "Said Gates excited.
"As long as they don't die, right?" Barker's eyes also showed a hint of excitement. These five brothers were famous in Eighteen North Duchies as bloodthirsty warlords. While leading their army, they had killed many people.
These five great brothers were like war machines. They caught one guard after another, as easy as taking a chicken, and then casually threw them like sandbags at the castle gate. The power of this throw by the Barker brothers was quite high. These warriors of the fifth and sixth rank had bones that were broken as soon as they touched the ground.
"You .." Albert was so angry that his whole body trembled. “You're too arrogant and wild. You dare to act like this in front of the Jacques clan? ”
"What's going on here?"
An angry roar could be heard, as another group of people emerged from within the castle. The leader was a middle-aged man with a square face. Albert immediately bowed. “Dad, these people caused trouble at our gates, and they even injured our guards. ”
"Oh?" This middle-aged man was the leader of the Jacques clan, Odin [Ao'deng] Jacques.
Odin Jacques stared coldly at Linley's group.
"Haha, brother Linley, you've arrived!" A loud laughter could be heard as a sudden blur descended from the sky, appearing in front of the castle gate.
It was stiff, the bully came right back. That white hair freckled it.
Odin and Albert, upon seeing this man, immediately dropped all pretenses of arrogance and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Odin, what are you doing here?" McKenzie looked at Odin coldly.
Odin trembled, not daring to speak. He had heard how McKenzie had just said the words, 'brother Linley'. He did not dare to say a word.
“This has nothing to do with this Odin. It's just, there's a little grudge between his son, Albert and me. Therefore, he wants to use the strength of the clan to resolve our personal matters. "Said Linley while laughing calmly.
"Rudge?" McKenzie nodded.
Glancing coldly at Albert, McKenzie turned to look at Odin. “Odin, tell Albert to go to the city of Deco in the city to help his uncle. The provincial capital of Basil was no longer the right place for him to stay. ”
Albert's face turned white.
The provincial capital of Basil was no longer a suitable place for him to live? This was as good as saying that his position as the heir to the clan leadership had just been stripped from him. Moreover, he was exiled to the prefectural city, and he would not even be the city governor; he would only help his uncle. In the future, he wouldn't even be as level as Keane.
"Yes, grandpa. "Odin did not dare to hesitate in the least.
In the Administrative Province of the Northwest, McKenzie's stature was the same as the War God O'Brien's in the O'Brien Empire. Even if he wanted Odin to give up his position as clan leader, Odin would not dare to voice a single word of grievance.
"Brother Linley, I'm so sorry. I was out for a walk just now, so I got here a little late. "McKenzie warmly welcomes Linley to her palace.
Smiling, Linley entered the castle with McKenzie, with Odin politely following them from behind. As for the pale-faced Albert, no one noticed him anymore.
