"enough!"
The majestic voice like a bell echoed in the arena, and everyone in the square looked over.
The king stood up from his chair and stared at the severed shield in the arena.
He saw Suo Da slowly stand up straight and lift the long sword.
Laurent was holding on to the ground in a daze. If the king hadn't stopped him in time, the third prince would have died under his brother's sword today.
The king looked around at everyone and cleared his throat. Fortunately, he was already prepared.
"Then Lauren, you lose." The king looked at Lauren and said.
Laurent could only nod silently. The anger in his heart split into two with the shield. Under the huge force, his legs couldn't help but become weak.
Lord, have you not favored me?
Laurent couldn't help but ask himself, raising his head and looking at the burning brazier in the Temple of War.
Could it be that Suo Da was really chosen by the God of War? And I... just heard the oracle accidentally?
Suoda faced the king, raised his arms and said, "My father, give me the title of crown prince. After you, I will create a hundred generations of glory!"
The voice of the second prince was so surging that all the warriors stood up and cheered for the victor.
The king stood in front of the throne and winked at the elders around him, who immediately nodded secretly.
Immediately afterwards, the elders who nodded stood up from their seats and said loudly: "King, this duel is contrary to our tradition!"
The king immediately looked serious, pointed at Soda and asked: "What? Didn't you see my child Soda showed his strength to the God of War?"
"Then he still cannot become a king." The elder with a long white beard shook his robe. He is an old man of the Griffin clan. He said: "According to our tradition, in this competition, both sides should cut off the horn cup and hand over the duel to the Lord. It can only begin with the witness of the gods.”
In the arena, Suo Ta had a sneer on his face, and he scratched his hair manically. Laurent was trembling with vigilance, but he didn't know what Suo Ta was thinking.
Another elder also stood up at this time and said: "In the tradition of Leyton, only when the king dies or becomes weak due to injury, can his bloodline engage in a throne duel. The winner will lead all the Leyton people in a duel for the throne. The enemy is crowned with a great victory. But now, our king is so strong and healthy, this duel for the throne must not count!"
The square suddenly became bustling with people asking each other for confirmation from their own and each other's memories, and soon concluded from the songs compiled by the poet that this was indeed their tradition.
"My Soda just fought a glorious battle, but you are criticizing him like this?!"
The king showed his anger and hammered the throne,
"Okay, go back and argue as much as you like, but now, I want to give the winner the glory."
The king's choice of words was precise.
Hearing this, Suo Da's mother turned to face the king with a disdainful smile.
The king naturally noticed, but did not respond.
In the square, everyone began to shout the name and title of the winner, and the sound of "Dragon Slayer Asks and Answers" continued in the square.

........................................
At the dinner after the sacrifice, the king was very drunk and talked with his ministers about Soda's bravery, and he was full of praise for his second son's achievement in killing the screaming dragon.
It's not that the king doesn't love his second son, but this love is inevitably involved in the feud with the Cold Wolf clan. Especially in the past few years, Suo Da has become closer and closer to his mother's clan, and has shown his affection for the Griffin clan. Indifference and even vague hatred.
Therefore, the king is constantly worried that if Suo Da succeeds to his throne, his third son Luo Lun and his clan will suffer unprecedented revenge from the Cold Wolf clan, and may even be expelled from the kingdom and demoted as slaves.
That is an extremely terrible result.
Another part of the reason why the king took a fancy to his third son, Laurent, was Laurent's caution.
In the king's view, if the Leiden Kingdom, which only inherited two kings, wanted to survive for a long time, it could not be achieved by one person's bravery or long-term conquests.
Over the years, the southerners have built more and more castles, and the pace of plundering has been unsustainable. The clans in the kingdom are still estranged from each other. There are duels every three days. Gallihat in the northwest has not yet expired. This The Redon butcher is still eyeing them...
As the days passed, the king who once fought the bear with his bare hands felt that he was unable to do so.
"However, Suoda's temperament is too violent," said the elder beside the king. "I heard him take the Garda Warriors sacrificial flag on the warship several times..."
"Yes, King, many people's children died on Soda's ship for no apparent reason. Even though many people advised Sota to take a slave sacrificial flag, this still did not satisfy him." The slightly drunk elder ate a piece of barbecue. Said with a sigh.
The king was silent for a while. After a while, he sat up straight and ordered the attendants on his side: "Please give Soda the sword hanging in my bedroom later, and also bring the ring from when I was the prince." , saying that these are the rewards of his victory.”
The attendant nodded. He felt that the king's instructions were ambiguous. It seemed that he had secretly appointed Suo Da to the throne, and it also seemed that he was delaying time and killing Suo Da's desire.
Then, the king found an old man from the same clan, stood up and said, "Go find Laurent, and you must not tell anyone else what you are going to say next."
The old man nodded slightly. He was a trusted confidant of the king.
"A king must not be stumbled by a setback."
The king stroked his beard,
"Compared to a momentary dragon blood, over a long period of time, you will be able to prove your ability to rule the Kingdom of Leiden. By then you will have my crown and throne. You will bring fairness to all the clans in the kingdom."
All the confidants listened, and he repeated it in a low voice in the king's ear, and then the king nodded to indicate that what he repeated was correct.
So the cronies walked out of the longhouse and left the dinner party filled with laughter and laughter.
Seeing the backs of his cronies disappearing into the night torches, the king relaxed a little. He opened his palms and was immersed in the happy atmosphere without much worry.
If it weren't for Suota who always coveted the throne, the king would really like to sing loudly for his son at the dinner party like a father.
The king took the horn cup handed by the attendant, walked among the crowd, faced Soda who was punching his fist, and said loudly: "Congratulations to my son, Soda, the second prince of the kingdom, I am proud of him, because he will win." The honor was shared with me!”
As the king's voice fell, everyone at the dinner let out a loud shout, praising the king's majesty and bravery.
At the long table of the Cold Wolf Clan, the nagging mother said nothing, staring at her husband like a poisonous snake. After a while, she raised her wine glass and smiled playfully.
Across the sea of thousands of clouds, God gazed at the entire dinner party and clearly saw the direction of the undercurrent.
This woman from the Cold Wolf Clan, shaking her wine glass, is about to drag the entire kingdom into the whirlpool of civil war.
