Looking at the contract scroll before him, Martin suddenly asked, "What if I don't want to sign this contract?"
Here are the palace and its territory. Even if Uriel was stronger than Martin, he would not be able to defeat thousands of Sun City troops.
Uriel said, "Even though I cannot destroy the entire City of the Sun, but I can use your life, as a threat to let the Orcs on the outside let us go."
After he finished saying that, the star pattern on his waist immediately shone.
Upon seeing that, Martin's expression looked extremely shocked, he could feel the spirit and breath of his son's Beast Being exposed. Then he asked, "Are you..have been promoted up to five stars?"
"When he had just returned to the palace when it was only four stars, but in four days alone, he had actually risen to five stars?! Such an increased speed had never existed before. This kind of thing is really terrible! If he was given a few more years, he would definitely become an Orc with the most powerful Beast spirit in Sun City!"
After thinking like that, Martin looked at his son with a deep look of his eyes and said, "If you really do something to father, you will never be able to return to the City of Sun. Is it worth giving up your noble status as a Prince, for the sake of a woman?"
"Without the identity of a Prince, I can still live well, but I can't live without Lina." Answer Uriel firmly.
"....." Upon hearing that, Martin could only fall silent.
Uriel continued to say again, "I have no other choice, nor do I want to fight father. Dad is my dad. Until any moment, I will always respect you."
Martin was still staring at his second son.
When Lina thought that father and son would really start fighting each other, Martin suddenly raised his hand and pressed his fingerprints on the contract scroll.
"CRING!"
After that, Uriel kept the scroll back and said, "The contract has been made! Thank you for your understanding."
"Hhhh.. Lina did her best to save me. I'll definitely promise you about this. I just want to make sure how much you love Lina. Now that I've seen it for myself, it seems like you really love him a lot." After saying that to Uriel, he looked at Lina and said, "There are some things I want to talk to Uriel alone."
Lina immediately looked at Uriel. When she saw Uriel nodding slightly, Lina said, "Alright, then I go out first. I'll wait outside."
He immediately walked out of the room and closed the door.
In the room, Martin looked at his son who was now looking stronger. After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, "At your young age, you have reached Five-star. I believe that when the time has come, your strength will definitely be much better than your father! And your way of thinking is also very firm, besides, you always handle things very carefully. If the City of the Sun I leave it to you, I will definitely feel calm when you die!"
But Uriel said to reassure his father, "Now the father's body has been healed, and the City of the Sun will be stronger under the father's leadership. You don't have to be in a hurry to make a decision about who will succeed."
Martin waved his hand and seemed to start to get exhausted while saying, "Pater's illness does not originate from the body.. But from the soul.."
"Dad.."
"Since your mother's death, I've been bitten back by my father's partner's contract. Father could survive until now, it was because of the holy water. Even if you help me heal my body, with the help of Lina, my father's already broken soul will not be able to be healed.. I won't be able to live much longer.." As he said that, Martin's voice sounded slow and slow, and the light in his eyes began to look dimmer.
Three years ago, his partner, also a Tiger Orc, died in an accident.
After the incident, Uriel chose to leave the City of the Sun alone.
After the death of his partner, Martin was severely injured by a contract bite, but later survived.
But it seemed, he was no different from any other normal Orc. Everyone thought that he did not get a soul bite from his partner's contract.
Surprisingly, he did not want to show it to others. He also used the holy water to delay the bad consequences, which were inflicted from the contract bite.
Martin tried to keep looking at his son, and said with his dignified voice.
"Do you want to be king for the City of the Sun?"
...........
At this time Alan Rebes, the high priest, was walking with his servants to return to the Temple. On their way, he meets Azka who is rushing to return to the palace.
As soon as Azka saw Alan Rebes, she immediately stopped him and asked breathlessly, "Why don't you take care of dad in the palace? But why are you even here?"
Hearing that, Alan looked at Azka with a look of pity in his eyes, "His Majesty the King will soon die. The gods could no longer help him. I hope that the third Prince can accept what will happen to His Majesty the King."
Hearing what the high priest said, Azka immediately turned pale.
“No! You must be talking nonsense. My dad will be fine!” Azka said angrily.
Alan waved his hand to tell the servants behind him to leave. Now that there was only Azka and the high priest in the corridor, the high priest said, "The third prince must know very well that His Majesty's body has suffered for a long time. Her life is now more tormented, than death by her partner's contract. If His Majesty the King leaves early, it will definitely be a relief for him."
"Ka ..." Azka wanted to argue back, but was soon arrested by Alan Rebes. Alan continued to say again, "I know that the third Prince loves His Majesty the King very much, but that alone will not help. The prince must also be able to accept reality, even if you feel unwilling. Soon my King will be leaving, and this savage Beast City cannot possibly remain standing without a King. Who will be the next king? The new successor, you or the second Prince?"
Hearing that, Azka clenched her fists and said, "Dad will definitely appoint an heir. This matter you don't need to think about."
"Hhhh.. Does the third Prince think my King will give you his throne?" Alan said as he looked at Azka with sympathetic eyes, and he continued to say, "From childhood until now, my King seems to always be on the side of the second Prince. Was it because of his strength, his talent, or his mentality? Looks like you can only be last resort after Prince Uriel. The gap between the second Prince and you is very obvious."
"....." Azka did not speak, only her fists were getting tighter clenched, until her knuckles were seen paled.
Alan walked slowly and paced beside Azka, continuing to say again, "Obviously you have also tried hard. From starting to awaken your Beast spirit to ascending to second star, and keep trying hard on other things step by step! After the Queen's death, you are also always with Her Majesty the King. But, why in everyone's eyes only saw the second Prince? Things like this are the same as you who can only live in his shadow forever. Are you really ready to live your life like that?"
Azka could not take it anymore. He said angrily, "Shut up!"
Alan looked into Azka's blue eyes, which now looked red and knew that his mind was now being affected. He added the last fire.
"Do you want to sit on a throne? I can help you."
...........
Currently Lina was sitting on the stairs that were outside the room, while both her hands were holding both of her cheeks, and looking at the corridor that was in front of her with her gaze that was like being glared.
"I don't know what Uriel and her father are saying in the room."
After thinking like that, from the end of the corridor there was a male Orc who was walking over. Lina immediately focused her gaze, and saw that the man's Orc was Azka.
"Azka does look like Uriel, but her hair is shorter than Uriel."
After getting close to Lina, Azka stopped, looked at Lina and asked, "Why are you sitting here? Where's brother?"
Lina pointed towards the closed door, which was behind her.
"He and His Majesty the King are talking inside."
Hearing that, Azka stared at the door of the room for a moment, and suddenly just asked, "You think, who is more suitable to sit on the throne of the King? My brother or me?"
