The apse of Ozm Palace.
"Crash!" A valuable rosewood table in the living room was instantly burned to ashes, and the delicate porcelain placed on it shattered.
Scott frowned and looked helplessly at his still furious sister.
After returning here for half an hour, Capricorn Tong's crazy beating didn't stop.
There were only two siblings in the spacious and luxurious room, and all the attendants had stayed away. To get too close to the Queen when she is angry is to seek death.
"Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?" Capricorn Tong suddenly turned around, stared at his brother, and said sternly.
Sigdon closed his eyes, feeling extremely upset. How could his sister become like this?
In his impression, although Capricorn Tong can be a little willful and occasionally have a little temper, she should never become the shrew she is now.
Seeing Sigton's expression, Capricorn Tong became even more angry.
"Hmph! Do you think I've changed? Do I look like a madman? I tell you, all of this is caused by you! I'm going to kill you!"
She shouted, stretched out her hands, and a dazzling ring of fire suddenly appeared in the strong energy fluctuations.
The air suddenly burned, and the decorations and furniture in the hall gave off a faint smell of burning.
Scott's expression turned completely cold. He did not open his eyes or make any resistance.
Time seemed to stand still, with only the crackling sound of the ring of fire burning.
"Okay! I really can't kill you! It's not that I can't, but that I can't bear it!" Capricorn Tong's tone suddenly softened, and the ring of fire disappeared.
She sat down weakly on the sofa, her shoulders hunched slightly, and she began to sob.
Sigdon was made even more helpless by his sister's 180-degree turn.
"Alas!" He sighed, took out a square towel from his arms, and handed it over with shaking hands.
The handkerchief seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and it slowly fell into Capricorn Tong's hands accurately.
"This is my birthday gift to you! Do you still keep it?!" The queen with pear blossoms and rain suddenly stopped crying, looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and asked in a low voice.
This square scarf was a gift made by Capricorn Tong when Scotton was eighteen years old.
For a little girl who has always been able to reach out for food and open her mouth, it was not easy to make this gift.
She even put aside her continuous practice of injection skills to learn weaving and embroidery.
There is no pattern on the square scarf, only a flame logo is embroidered on it.
If you look at it upside down, it turns out to be a sincere red heart.
"Brother! Tell me, what happened five years ago. Why did you leave suddenly? You didn't even attend my father's funeral. Why didn't you contact me in the past five years? Now you want to provoke a civil war against me. "Capricorn Tong held the handkerchief and said slowly.
"Please, tell me! Okay? I know you are still the big brother who loves me and protects me! Just please tell me! Brother!" At this moment, the queen looked extremely lonely, depressed, sad and helpless.
"Okay! I will tell you what happened now. But you have to be mentally prepared! These words may ruin the brother-sister relationship between you and me for more than 20 years." Scott finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice said.
Capricorn Tong looked at her brother and suddenly felt that he was a little strange.
"Just tell me! You will know sooner or later if you need to know!" She said with a complicated mood.
"Your mother did not die accidentally. It was my queen mother, kill her!" Sigton's words were earth-shattering.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Capricorn Tong's face turned pale.
"You heard it right! This is the truth! My mother is the murderer of your mother." Scott's heart began to hurt like a fragment.
However, once the words are spoken, they must be finished.
"It's not out of jealousy, but your mother was identified as a spy sent by Rus." Scott's voice was trembling.
"This is impossible!!" Capricorn Tong roared.
She stood up abruptly, her eyes bloodshot, and the energy around her body surged, causing the roof of the hall to buzz.
Mother, this title is both familiar and unfamiliar to Capricorn Tong.
Capricorn Tong was only three years old when her mother left.
She can no longer remember her mother's appearance. She only knows that she was a beautiful woman with a cheerful personality. She only remembers her always warm and safe embrace.
These are all the memories she has of her biological mother.
But it was these pitifully few memories that accompanied her through countless sleepless nights.
These memories ended on a cold winter day.
That day, her biological mother suddenly fell ill and died without leaving a single word.
That day, she was brought back to the bedroom by Sigdon's mother, Su Lier's queen.
There, Suriel's king told her that from now on she would call the queen "mother"!
queen? Bitch!
Capricorn Tong used all her strength to clutch an emerald pendant on her chest.
Her tender palm was scratched by the metal inlaid with gems, and she was bleeding profusely, but she didn't even notice.
This pendant is my mother's only remaining relic.
This gem is as bright as my mother's eyes.
Capricorn's eyes burst into tears, but he could no longer cry.
How can you not avenge the murder of your mother?
But to whom should I report it? !
Scott's heart was bleeding.
He woke up from his dreams countless times, imagining in a cold sweat what it would be like when he told Capricorn Tong the truth.
This is the scene now.
How familiar, so similar to the nightmare that had accompanied him for more than twenty years!
"I learned about this on an unexpected occasion when I was very young. I'm sorry that I kept hiding it from you! I don't know how to tell you!" Sigdon closed his eyes slightly and said in a dreamy voice.
"Hahahahaha!" Capricorn Tong stopped her tears and burst into laughter. Her charming face looked very ferocious at the moment.
She tried her best to restrain her manic emotions and said coldly: "I'm sorry? I don't know what to say? I think you speak very well now, don't you? It seems that the care and concern you gave me in the past were actually for nothing. Feeling guilty, are you trying to atone for your mother's sins?!"
"Haha!" Sigdon had expected that Capricorn Tong would have such thoughts. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "When I learned about this, I was just a child under ten years old. I really didn't know how to deal with it. ! As for how my brother treated you later, and whether my protective feelings were just out of guilt, you can make your own decision in your heart, and I have nothing to say!"
Hearing what Sigton said, Capricorn Tong's mood eased a little.
She gave a cold "hum" and then asked: "Who decided that my mother was a spy of Ruhrs? Your mother?"
Sigton's face was a little distorted at this time, as if he was suffering from great pain.
A green halo suddenly surged around him, and he struck out a wind blade with his hand, smashing a red bronze statue in the middle of the hall to pieces.
Metal fragments flew and cut Sigdon's arm, but he didn't care and instead laughed loudly.
"In those days, Su Lier, who could identify a noble concubine as a spy from another country, and dare to order a murder, besides your arrogant father, who else could be there?!" Sigdon pointed to the metal scattered on the ground. Broken Piece yelled wildly.
The statue he smashed was the head of the former king of Suriel.
"Also, your father passed away five years ago, and my mother also died on the same day. Everyone said that the queen died for the king! Bah! Since giving birth to me, your father has never stepped into the My mother's bedroom. Such a couple is a joke! How could she die for such a husband?!" At this time, Scott's emotions completely burst out, and he desperately told all the secrets of the year.
"On the day your father died, he ordered my queen mother and I to wait in the side hall for summons, but what we waited for were two glasses of 'good wine' given by him. It was my queen mother who noticed something was wrong and drank all the two glasses of wine. Drink it. That is really 'good wine'! Good wine that seals your throat with blood! Not long after the old thief was killed, she also died of the poison!" Scott seemed to be in the terrifying and gloomy place of that year. scene.
His voice trembled and his tone was forlorn.
The title of Capricorn Tong's father was also changed from "your father" to "old thief"!
"My mother told me the truth before she died. She said that she killed your mother because of the instructions of the old thief! Moreover, she also asked me to escape from Ma Se and return to my own fief for safety! You old man You are asking me why I didn’t attend your father’s funeral and why I suddenly left Masak. Do you understand now? Why should I stay? Stay to bury the enemy who killed your mother? Step on your mother’s body and congratulate you on becoming the new king. King?!" Sigdon became more and more excited as he spoke, and the last few words were completely shouted.
"You've gone too far!" Capricorn Tong raised his hand and slapped Sigdon away.
She was in a huge shock, and her previous understanding of many things was completely overturned by her brother's words.
The person who ordered the murder of his mother was actually his father.
The person who carried out this order was actually the mother who loved her brother the most.
Is there any tragedy more bizarre and ridiculous than this in the world?
At this moment, Capricorn Tong felt as if a big stone was weighing on her heart.
She wanted to hate, but she didn't know who to hate.
She could understand her brother's venting of emotions, but she couldn't stand Scott's reprimanding tone!
Because she is also a victim herself!
Capricorn Tong didn't use any concentration in this palm, and Sigton didn't do any protection.
Scott stood up slowly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He would not blame his sister for taking action, but he would never take back what he said.
He has been depressed for too long, too long!
Scotton was once the prince of Suriel Kingdom.
He is the eldest son of the old king, the only boy, and the natural heir to the throne.
However, I don’t know why, but since Sigton was a child, he has not been favored by the old king.
The old king scolded and cursed him at best, and punched and kicked him at worst.
For Scotton, having scars all over his body has been a common occurrence since he was a child.
He even once doubted whether he was the old king's biological flesh and blood.
Although Skelton's mother was a queen, her character was old-fashioned and dull, and she obeyed her husband's words.
Therefore, whenever the old king punished Sigdon, she would do nothing except give a few words of advice and secretly weep.
In contrast, since Capricorn Tong's mother became a noble concubine, this beautiful woman with a lively and flamboyant personality, relying on the old king's favor, has helped Sigton say a lot of good things.
Therefore, in Sigton's heart, he has always been grateful to Capricorn Tong's biological mother.
Because of this, he cared deeply for his half-sister from the beginning.
One can imagine what the fear, despair, guilt and helplessness that she felt when she learned the truth about the death of Capricorn Tong's mother meant to Scotton, who was less than ten years old.
Later, when more truths surfaced, Scotton also fell into long-term suffering. He really couldn't face Capricorn Tong.
She is his treasured sister, but she is also the daughter of the enemy who killed her mother.
They were brothers and sisters who once relied on each other, but they were also rivals in the battle for the throne.
Now, Sigdon poured out all the pain he had suppressed in his heart for a long time.
The depression in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood began to calm down.
Now that the words have been spoken, there will be no more scruples.
Now that we have returned to Mase, we cannot let down the opportunity that our mother gave her life for.
What's more, his mother told him more than one truth.
Scott is back, and he is no longer the prince he was before.
"Brother! I'm sorry! Does it hurt?" Capricorn Tong couldn't help but ask as he looked at Sigdon who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, you always strike without knowing the importance of your actions. I have long been used to it." Scott's face returned to a cold expression, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
Capricorn Tong trembled when she was called "Your Highness the Queen", and her blood seemed to solidify.
"Brother! What do you mean?" she asked in a low voice.
"Let's face reality! You should no longer call me 'Big Brother', it's time to call me 'Prince Scotton'!" Scotton's tone became colder.
Their eyes met and they were silent for a long time.
"As you wish, Prince Scott!" Capricorn Tong suddenly smiled charmingly. She turned around and slowly walked towards her throne in the apse.
"Then please tell me! As Queen Suriel, what reality should I face?" Capricorn Tong said, waving his sleeves lightly and sitting firmly on his throne.
"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect. Sitting in that position does not mean that you have the ability to match it." Scotton said with a sneer.
Capricorn Tong has completely calmed down at this moment.
She didn't get angry when she heard the other party's implicit words, and smiled and motioned for Scott to continue speaking.
"Let me give you two examples! First of all, the war you launched five years ago was really extremely reckless. Many of your people, including my brother Dengpra, expressed disapproval of me for not sending troops to coordinate. There are a lot of slanders, saying that I am watching the fire from the other side and taking advantage of the opportunity to expand my power. This idea is really stupid!" Scott paused slightly, as if waiting for his sister to refute.
Seeing that the Queen remained silent, he continued: "The way of war is related to the rise and fall of the country, so how can we make decisions based on whims? When you sent troops, did you ever think about it, if I hadn't guarded the Eastern Region, what if the Ruhrs If we take the opportunity to suddenly attack Suriel, what will be the outcome?"
Scott talked eloquently as if he were a different person.
"What you said makes sense! However, the way of war is also about timing. What great things can be accomplished by looking forward and backward, hesitating? If you want to figure out the emperor's thoughts and methods, you must first reach this position. !" Capricorn Tong looked at her brother with a trace of disdain on her lips.
She continued: "In addition, since you keep saying that there are only queens and princes, and no sisters and brothers. Then, Temple, there will no longer be brothers like you! You must remember this clearly! Okay! You Don’t you want to give me an example? What is it?”
Capricorn Tong smiled, but his words were like steel needles, piercing his opponent mercilessly.
Scott's eyelids twitched slightly.
This is the first time that he has experienced his sister's ability as a queen!
"Very good! Her Royal Highness the Queen's insights are quite unique! Let me tell you another example, which is to assess the situation." Scotton said, turning and looking out the window.
He looked at a group of migratory birds flying in the sky, his eyes became deep, and then he continued: "Currently, the McCann family is the only one. Its allies have also benefited from this, and the country is all strong and prosperous. On the other hand, Su Lier, although the people's livelihood There has also been an improvement, but the development is too slow. As time goes by, it will inevitably fall further behind other countries. The biggest gap between Su Lier and McCann is the difference between monarchy and republic. Therefore, only by following public opinion, following the trend, and moving towards a republic can we It is Su Lier’s bright future. But if you remain stubborn and go against the trend for your own selfish desires, it will inevitably lead to defeat!”
Scotton's words were full of confidence and more clearly demonstrated his political ambitions.
"There is some truth in what the prince said. However, what is public opinion? What is the trend? It is not you or your allies who have the final say. If one day, my people start to oppose me and are unwilling to let me The queen will rule and manage them. I will quit! However, until that day, I will stick to my duties. Lead my people to find and pursue our own path and happiness! I will also stop all attempts to stop us. People or forces will be completely shattered!" Queen Capricorn Eyes' voice was still calm, but she showed an indomitable and uncompromising momentum.
After hearing this, Scott pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That being the case, I think I already understand the Queen's choice. However, in order to save Suriel from the flames of war and save lives from being destroyed, we still ask the Queen to consider our suggestions. We implore the Queen to abdicate or remain a monarch in name only and transform the country into a de facto republic."
Seeing his sister's face turning cold, Sigdon sighed inwardly and decided to take the next best option, and said another option: "If the Queen cannot accept this suggestion, we can also take a step back and hope that Suriel East Territory can achieve autonomy." Three years later, through popular elections, the direction of the entire country will be decided!”
"Hahaha!" Capricorn Tong laughed after hearing this: "Prince Sigdon, do you know? The 'old thief' you hate once told me that the last thing you should not sign is the alliance under the city. This is you Is this what you have agreed upon with your allies? What about 'avoiding the loss of life'? If you really have this intention, will you directly mobilize the army to fight against the government? What about 'autonomy' and directly say that Su Lier will be divided into Wouldn’t it be easier to understand both countries?”
Seeing Sigton's sudden change of color, Capricorn Tong suddenly changed his tone and said leisurely: "Actually? You also know that I have never been interested in power! I only like to study 'easy-to-use' men and powerful injection techniques. ! So, if you, Prince, want to sit on this throne so much, you might as well say so! Maybe if I am in a good mood, I might actually give up the throne to you!"
At the end of her sentence, a seductive and coquettish look appeared on her charming face.
Scotton was confused. He felt that his sister had just become normal for a while, so why did she become so mysterious again?
Especially words like "easy to use" should never come from the mouth of Capricorn Tong, who has always been extremely self-disciplined when it comes to men and women!
Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Capricorn Tong giggled.
Then, she straightened her face and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now! So, you don't have to think about giving up your seat!"
Scott felt like he was being teased.
His face was gloomy, and without saying goodbye, he turned around and walked out of the palace door.
Looking at her brother's leaving figure, Capricorn Tong's expression became sad.
"Brother! You are so stupid!" She said to herself, but she felt a pain in her heart, and blood foam had already spilled out of the corner of her mouth.
Amidst the strong energy fluctuations, Queen Suriel rose up and dashed towards the palace where the master and his party were.
