Kingdom's Bloodline Chapter 740

   "Very well, let's talk about it, and things will be much simpler."

   Behind the desk, Thales applauded lightly:

   "Miss Karabyan, let's talk about a business."

  Kasha and Qina glanced at each other, and hummed softly behind the black folding fan:

   "You want us to stop here?"

   "Give up confrontation and help you tame the Emerald City?"

   "So that you can depose Master Zhan En?"

   "A decent coup to seize power?"

  The devil twins waved their folding fans back and forth, with cruel expressions on their faces:

   "Chop up the iris again."

   "Knead Kongming Palace flat and round."

   "The wealth on the south bank belongs to the imperial coffers."

   "The emerald prosperity disappears?"

   "One sentence per person, finish what I want to say," Thales opened his arms and smiled softly, "That's what I like about you."

  The two sisters sneered together, shook their hands, and turned the black fan again!

   What is depicted on the fan is a more obscure and obscene dialect:

  【Lean back against the wood and lean on the lazy sleep. 】

  【Ji Beng Jia plug Jia Ji Mai. 】

  Two fans are placed together, and a small sentence is formed adjacent to each other:

  【Yaoshou Girl】

  Thales watched for a long time but didn't understand.

"What does it mean?"

  KaSa smiled all over her face:

   "Dialect. It means that your Highness speaks really well."

  Qina's eyes sparkle:

   “We are simply flattered.”

   "Oh, thank you," Thales couldn't help frowning, but he didn't want to delve into it, "Then what's your answer?"

   "Impossible." Kai'Sa refused.

   "It's unrealistic." Qina sneered.

  Thales raised his eyebrows.

   "You know, we spent so much hard work and little money..." Kaisha narrowed her eyes.

   "Just to dismantle this pile of building blocks called the Emerald City, which is crumbling..." Qina focused on picking her nails.

   "And now we're going to put it all back together?"

   "How many shadows and holes, regrets and disappointments should I leave in my heart?"

  Thales sighed and leaned back in the chair.

   "I haven't had time to report to the Fuxing Palace about you acting in the middle to disrupt the Emerald City." He said in a deep voice, "You should know that your brother is in the capital, and he is suspended for self-reflection because of breaking the law."

  The two sisters did not change their complexions as Thales expected, but their eyes were slightly cold.

   "Oh, thanks to you!"

   "The most filial prince in the world!"

  Thales raised his eyes:

   "Then let me ask again: what is your answer?"

  The twins looked at each other, firmly:

"No!"

  Thales frowned.

   "You can go to His Majesty to file a complaint!"

   "And tell us the result?"

   "It's better to leave a whole body for the stupid brother!"

   "At least the kind that can be sewn with thread!"

   Facing the two girls who smiled brighter and brighter, Thales couldn't help frowning.

   "You, are you really Cohen's sister, biological sister?"

  The two girls exchanged glances, covered their mouths and smiled:

   "Of course it is!"

   "Just in front of the family..."

  Kasha closed her smile, and her tone became cold:

   "Individuals don't matter at all."

  Qina snorted coldly:

   "Even if it is the heir of the family."

   "Besides, Karabyan is willing to let the heir stay in the capital and stay under the eyes of the Fuxing Palace. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

   "It's like you are staying in Dragon Clouds City."

  Whether it was the content of the last sentence or the cruel meaning in the words, Thales' mood sank.

   "It seems that I guessed wrong before."

  Thales came back to his senses and let out a long sigh:

   "You didn't come to the Emerald City to wipe your **** for Cohen breaking into the palace."

  He looked seriously at the two girls whose smiles were getting colder.

   "What you, or the Karabyan family really care about is the political game between Fuxing Palace and Kongming Palace, Yongxing City and Emerald City, which is related to the future of the kingdom."

  Kasha and Qina did not speak.

  Thales continued:

   "What the Karabyan family is really worried about is: If you don't come this time, if you don't participate in this coup d'état that sweeps across the South Bank and affects the pattern of the stars, then no matter what the result is, the Twin Towers and Swords may not be able to take a single step if they lead the South Bank in the future."

  Thales said disdainfully:

   "Korn Karabyan is at best an addition to this goal, right?"

   The two sisters sneered.

   "He is Tiantou..."

   "You are not."

  Thales' expression changed:

"What's the meaning?"

  The two Miss Karabyan exchanged glances.

   "The matter has come to this point, Xiao Taitai, the Emerald City is out of control, and it is getting worse and worse, one after another."

   "But you are determined to go your own way, and you want to go all out to convict Zhan En in order to replace the Duke."

   "Things can only get worse and worse."

   "More irrevocable."

   "It's not just the ugly Xilai who is dissatisfied with you, and it's definitely not just Karabiyan who is working secretly."

   "There will be people from all walks of life who will resist you, at least you will be disgusted by the positive and the negative."

  "The situation is getting worse, and those who support you will inevitably start to question it."

   "More people fled."

   "At least it's seemingly incoherent."

   "And there's nothing you can do about it."

   "I can only sit and watch the prosperity and silence."

   "People's livelihood is in decline."

   "Let alone win the South Bank, fill the treasury, and win back His Majesty's trust."

   "Expand the kingship, increase the prestige, and lay a solid foundation for your throne?"

  Thales was silent, frowning more and more as he listened.

  Kasha and Qina both smiled, and changed their tone:

   "But now, instead of thinking of a perfect solution, you are grabbing at the details and trying to shirk responsibility?"

   "Blame all the faults of my ineffective governance on the lower-level vassals?"

   "Even want to sue the imperial court, take our stupid brother, and threaten others' weakness?"

   "If you lose a fight, you will find your parents? If you can't fight, you will fight your parents?"

  Sister Karabyan sneered:

   "It doesn't matter whether my brother dies or not..."

   "It's no big deal that Karabyan suffers..."

   "But it will hit His Majesty Kessel's little trust in you."

   "Let the entire kingdom know that their heirs to the throne are weak and incompetent, so they don't deserve it."

   "He is a little dandy who shirks responsibility, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is useless without the Fuxing Palace and nepotism."

   "He's still a self-willed little waste who can turn a rich town into ruins by scraping the ground three feet away."

  The sweet and gentle voices of the two young ladies just fell.

  Damn it.

  After listening to this confident analysis, Thales had to close his eyes and rub his forehead gently.

  Threatening them is useless.

  Thales calmly analyzed the voice in his heart:

  They know you are not safe.

  The prerequisite for you to make them unlucky is that you are unlucky first.

   So... what should he do?

   "Not bad, very sharp, and very realistic," Thales sighed, "I'm sorry, but I really want to ask one more question: Are you two really Cohen's sister?"

  Kasha and Qina smiled at each other, and looked at Thales tenderly.

   "Then little Taitai, are you really the powerful Duke of Xinghu?"

   "The unshakable heir to the throne?"

   "The heroic blood descendant of the Star?"

   "Son of the Iron King?"

  KaSa smiled and said:

   "Really blood gilt?"

  Qina licked her lips curiously:

   "Sparkling in the sun?"

  Thales couldn't help laughing.

  The two ladies also covered their mouths and smiled.

  As if this was nothing more than an ordinary gossip.

  Where are the swords and swords coming from, and the people's hearts are sinister?

   "Then why Jen?"

  The two girls smiled like flowers: "Excuse me?"

"I mean, I'm curious," Thales raised his chin with a solemn expression, "During this political storm, why do you all want to be loyal to Zhan En, stand on the side of Iris, and even go out in person, taking risks and troubles? "

  Kasha and Qina Qiqi were taken aback.

   But they reacted very quickly and did not leak:

   "Why do you ask?"

   "Isn't this obvious?"

  The eyes of the two people brightened, and they danced:

   "Lord Zhan En is the Duke of South Bank, the lord of Emerald City."

   "Kongming Palace is in power, the owner of Iris Flower, the important minister of the kingdom!"

   "Our family friend."

   "Faithful political blood alliance!"

   "Because of friendship."

   "Don't die with the enemy!"

   “Naturally stand together.”

   "Resist foreign aggression!"

   "If we want us to betray him..." Kaisha dragged her voice and looked at Qina.

   "Need to pay more?" Thales said suddenly.

  The twins, who were originally singing together, froze immediately after this interruption.

   "Add what?"

"what money?"

   "Sorry," Thales waved his hand to hold back a smile, "There is a joke in Xihuang, don't worry about it."

  The two Karabyans looked at each other and frowned.

   "Not good, sister."

  Qina turned her head, hid her face behind the folding fan, and spoke in a low voice.

   "He's learning to mess with us."

  Kasha raised her fan to cover her chin, and nodded.

   "How can this be done?"

   "I have to use all my skills in vocal music class..."

   "You know," Thales chuckled and raised his volume, "I can hear you..."

  Kasachina suddenly raised her head, exasperated:

"we know!!"

  Thales didn't look angry, and said softly: "But he can't."

   "Who can't?"

   "What doesn't work?"

   "Jane Kevin Dill, if the condition he asks for your cooperation is to marry Karabyan..."

  Thales took a deep breath and said seriously:

   "Trust me, he can't."

  The aggressive twins were taken aback when they heard the words:

   "What can't he do?"

   "Why can't he?"

  Kasha and Qina's expressions changed slightly, but they reacted very quickly. One of them held their hands together in surprise, and the other covered her face in embarrassment:

   "Hey! Oh, what are you talking about..."

   "How can I say this in front of the girl's house..."

   "Don't tell people's sincere wishes!"

   "What should I do if it doesn't work..."

   "Girls should be reserved, shy and beautiful..."

   "Especially in front of marriage..."

  Thales sighed:

   "Trust me, he won't be a good husband."

   It was quiet again in the study.

  Kasha and Qina looked at each other with contempt and disdain.

"what did he say?"

   "He said Master Zhan En is not a good husband?"

  The two sisters burst into ironic laughter:

"How can it be!"

   "Your Excellency, the Duke will pay less and more money next year!"

   "The prime of life!"

   "Bit height weight!"

   "The richest man in the world!"

   "He also has a good father..."

   "Especially with a good dad..."

   "The best dad ever..."

   "His father died," Thales said blankly, "Jane lost power because of this."

   "That's why he is a good father!"

   "Sometimes the best dad is the dead dad!"

  Thales frowned fiercely.

   "But I'm sure that Jen will never die early after marriage, so that you will become rich, entitled and titled duke widows, wealthy widows who are not under the control of your husband."

  Kasha and Qina's coquettish laughter stopped suddenly.

   "That's right, I've heard your gossip these days," Thales shrugged, "especially the part about your husband's early death, so you can be widows..."

  Thales paused, his eyes flickering.

   "But as I said, I heard it and listened to it, but Jen can't. He won't hear it, and he won't understand it."

  At that moment, the two sisters looked at Thales differently.

   They looked at each other and smiled.

   "Oh, my husband died early...that was just an angry remark!"

   "Kind words!"

   "Don't take it seriously..."

   "Don't take it too seriously!"

  Thales interrupted them coldly:

   "But based on what I know about Zhan En, if he marries you, he won't die early and let you take advantage..."

  The smiles of the two Miss Karabyan faltered slightly.

  Thales got serious:

"Probably will also drain all the value from your dowry reputation, natal family's influence, camp position, and even the birth of offspring. If you have any desire to covet it, I will give you two one-way tickets for traveling on the high seas. When it's over, he can turn into a perfect widower with snot and tears, and then subtly manipulate the reputation, making people feel that all the faults are on the dead wife, and he is just a good man with affection and a good responsible parent. A good husband forever."

  The smiles of the sisters gradually disappeared.

  Thales added softly:

   "Deception, utilization, defense, restraint, destruction...just like what he did to his subordinates, to his servants, to opponents who wanted to get rid of them quickly, and even to some allies—such as Karabyan?"

  Thales took a deep breath and looked at the expressionless sisters:

   "Of course, it must be that... you all knew this beforehand?"

   The study room was quiet for a few seconds.

  Kasha Karabyan snorted coldly. She sat back, pulled up her skirt, and crossed her legs in an indecent posture.

  Kina Karabyan leaned on the armrest in the same loose way.

  Whether it's Kasha or Qina, the smiles on their faces have long since disappeared.

   "It seems that you really understand him." Kai'Sa said coldly.

   "Maybe you are more suitable to marry him?" Qina sarcastically said.

  Compared with before, their voices have become deep and cold, no longer sweet and cute.

  The gags and funny humor disappeared without a trace at this moment.

   "In that case," Thales smiled slightly, "Do you still want him to be your husband?"

  At that moment, the three people in the study looked at each other and remained silent.

   "Actually," Kaisha sneered and shook her head, "we don't need a husband at all."

  Compared with before, their voices have become deep and cold, no longer sweet and cute.

   "It's just that this world needs us to have a husband." Qina remained expressionless.

  The gags and funny humor disappeared without a trace at this moment.

   “At least act like you need a husband.”

   "That's why we need a husband who dies early."

   "Come make the world think we have a husband."

   "At least 'had' a husband."

  The twins hum in unison:

   "Are you satisfied?"

"That's right," Thales relaxed a lot in the face of their serious expressions, and was no longer cramped, "But in history, Kevin Dill and Calabyan, who were both on the south bank, were the same family, and they married many times. very tight..."

   "Don't worry, Your Highness," Kai'Sa said softly, but there was no doubt about it, "This time, in our cooperation with Emerald City, there is no such thing as marriage."

   "Don't be jealous, Xiao Taitai, you still have a chance to win love." Qina said coldly.

  The twins stared at Thales, as if they wanted to eat him.

  Thales nodded after hearing this, and pondered for a moment.

   "Oh, that's good, but you really don't think about it? If you want to cooperate with Zhan En, marriage may be a guarantee for both parties..."

   "Enough, Your Highness, don't bother to spy anymore."

  Kasha said coldly, interrupting the topic: "About why the Karabyan family cooperated with the Duke..."

   "Since your Highness has found us," Qina snorted, "shouldn't you know it well?"

   "Oh? Could you please explain it to me?"

  Thales put his hands up in a friendly manner, signaling him to listen carefully.

  Kasha sneered and said:

   "We and Kevin Dill are not just geographically close."

  Qina clicked her tongue:

   "It's not just the family tree that is tightly connected."

  The twins seem to have a tacit understanding. Even when they are talking about serious business, they can talk to each other one after the other, almost like one person:

   "For so many years, the Emerald City has been prosperous and prosperous, and the South Bank Territory is rich and prosperous."

   "And Walla led the east wind and soared."

   "It all depends on the reform and new policy that the Kongming Palace has been consolidated from generation to generation and widely spread on the south bank."

   "The governance system is becoming more and more perfect, and the foundation of the commercial market is becoming more and more stable."

   "Yes, I have heard about it," Thales nodded his head, "Since the foundation of 'Parrot' Federico, the South Bank collar has been consistent. It has developed steadily for a hundred years, with few repetitions, until now."

   Can be regarded as a model of stars.

  Sister Karabyan snorted coldly and continued:

   "Then you should know that the clothing and food business and industry livelihood we rely on..."

   "Support and rely on our disciples, old friends, partners and allies..."

   "It has already taken root in the soil reclaimed by the Emerald City."

   "The body is supported by the rhizome extended by the iris flower."

   "Agriculture, craftsmanship, and business group trade all rely on it."

   "Law and politics, territorial management, are all interlinked."

   "Even the common people in our own fief..."

   "Even this handmade uniform on your body..."

  Thales' expression froze, and he looked down at the clothes on his body.

  Kasha waved her sleeves:

   "The current situation, of course we can fall to your side."

  Qina snapped her fingers:

   "Help you replace Kevin Dill and win the Emerald City."

   "Even replacing it, entering the Kongming Palace, the twin towers and long swords must be tried."

   "It is necessary to attract the power of the royal family, the power of the royal capital, and change the government of the Kongming Palace..."

   "The rapid changes in the leadership of the South Bank will shake the foundation of governance, and that will be death..."

  They changed the subject, vigilant and apprehensive:

   "Throwing stones and smashing feet!"

  Thales frowned.

   "The royal power, the power of the capital," he thought of all kinds of people in the royal banquet, and he couldn't help muttering, "Are they so scary?"

   "Scary?" Kai'Sa smiled sarcastically, "Your Highness, what do you think makes the capital jealous in Emerald City? Is it just that people are stupid and have a lot of money?"

   "In other words, what is Emerald City doing better than the king? To be smart? To make people jealous?"

  Thales twitched his eyebrows.

   Only heard Qina sneer:

   "You have never had serious dealings with your family, or even the public and private figures, officials, merchants and subordinates around the royal capital, have you?"

   "Or, it's all because you raised your eyebrows, and they just nodded and bowed down to serve the tea and water'Jiaodao'?"

  Thales' eyes moved: "How to say?"

  Kasha sneered and said:

   "Let's put it this way, for a long time, if our merchants want to go through the central government, their business will have to rely on Eternal Star City..."

  Qina snorted coldly:

   "That means twice as much cost expenditure, most of which are spent on management along the way, contributing from top to bottom."

   "Open up the door, advance layer by layer, and dredge the relationship—the premise is that you still have the relationship."

   "Especially in lucrative businesses, a few regulations, a few market officials, and a few government-business collusion can make us lose everything."

   "One back and one back, one out and one in, going east and west to Muhe and selling it to Yongxing City is more laborious than crossing the ocean to the Far East Shenglin City!"

   "He manages the sky and the earth, but also messes around and makes a lot of money!"

   "This is not bad, the premise is that all you meet are officials who collect money for work, businessmen who sign for money..."

   "But if you don't do anything after receiving the money, you have to pay again if you want to do something, and you're empty-handed all the way, until you can't stand bankruptcy..."

   "That's more than that. If you encounter a hard-working backstage, a ruthless heart, and black underlings, you won't be satisfied with just receiving filial piety..."

   "Never force you to accept their 'technical shares', appoint their people to 'instruct', give them 'channel dividends', or even **** 'cooperative management'..."

   "Or worse, after turning into a business group business with prefixes of "Wang Family" and "State-owned" or even "Star", well, the door is open, and no competitors dare to look up at you..."

   "But the business itself is rotten! The tribute fee is more than the net profit, the small boss is more than the clerk, the person who takes advantage of the pit and collects more money than the part-time worker, and there are more people who point fingers than the hard worker..."

   "Barely operating, insolvency, within a few years, this business will fail, all peers will be squeezed out, profits will not be able to start, and the business group will be miserable. In the end, they will break up, and maybe they still owe dividends to all parties!"

   "Investors, operators, upstream and downstream, buyers and sellers, and even the industry environment, public funds and treasury, none of them are good..."

  Thales felt heavy when he heard it.

  The two sisters gritted their teeth.

   "I only fattened countless relatives and children of nobles in the royal capital. They ate a lot and their brains were full of fat. They all felt that they were the pillars of the country. They found ways for the national economy and the people's livelihood. They established a foundation, worked hard, made a lot of contributions, and made outstanding achievements..."

   "The industry is scarce, they will fly away like locusts, fly to other places and eat others..."

   "Wait until someone works hard to start from scratch, and then get the business back..."

   "They—or their relatives and children who changed a wave of people, flew back again, and repeated..."

  Thales was silent for a while.

"You must be suspected of exaggeration. In fact, I have heard similar complaints, but that is," Tellston said for a moment, "they are Commus people, including people of insight within Exeter They complain about the Kingdom of Exeter, but they don't have such a complaint about the Kingdom of Stars..."

   "That's natural!" Kai'Sa interrupted him.

   "That's how the Kangmasi people themselves started their business. They know the way too well, and they have a good relationship with the dignitaries of the royal capital!"

   "Foreign capital, domestic dignitaries, and absolute power, the three are a perfect match!"

   "It's hard for the stars not to make the country rich and the people strong!" Qina sarcastically said.

  Thales sighed:

   "This situation, the king, and the princes in the imperial meeting don't know?"

   "King? Imperial?"

   "Whose pocket do you think all the money went into?"

   "Whose family's relatives and children, whose family's descendants?"

   "Up to the royal charter, down to the petty servants!"

   "Everyone collects money, and there are relatives everywhere. Who dares to think about it and who is willing to take the lead and expose such a thing?"

   "Donkeys and horses share the same trough, and go up and down on the same road. Who can handle this matter without getting dirty or worrying?"

   "Somebody wants to, but can he?"

   "Someone can, but does he want to?"

  Thales sighed when he heard it.

   "In the Emerald City, the rules have been passed down for generations. You can go to Judge Brennan for such a thing. Even the Duke himself must obey the law and spit out everything he eats!"

"Who can I turn to in the king? Look for the judge? Who doesn't know that their close relatives are deeply involved in the promotion, and everything depends on the faces of 'relatives'? Look for Prime Minister Cullen? He is not only swaying and muddy in politics. What else can Andre do other than make money? Looking for His Majesty the King? He has to worry about the country's major affairs and the stars' rejuvenation, and even his son asked him to act like a baby and ask for money, and he was almost cut off with a knife!"

  Maybe...maybe because the Iris Dukes know.

  Thales was silent, only the voice in his heart whispered:

  They know that if they act recklessly, if they do what they want, if they don't obediently abide by the law, then one day, they who destroyed the Great Wall will be eaten by big fish from the capital with bigger appetites.

   But those big fish—the kings of the stars and high kings of all ages, if they have their way...

  In the Kingdom of Stars, where is there a bigger fish that can eat the Fuxing Palace and make the kings afraid?

   Bigger fish.

  But Thales immediately remembered the Bloody Year, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"I see."

  Thales let out a long sigh:

  "More than a century ago, the New Deal of the Worthy King, regardless of background, promoted officials, eliminated disadvantages and innovated..."

   "There are only disadvantages," Kai'Sa said sarcastically, "but there are more mouths to eat and more hands to stretch out..."

   "These civil servants who have been admitted all the way, and then climbed up all the way, are much smarter than the stupid relatives of noble families!" Qina said angrily.

"No matter how new or good the furniture is, it will eventually accumulate dust and become old," Thales said in a deep voice, "It seems that the successors of Mendis III have not followed his expectations and let the system he left behind Continuing to run healthily…”

  But the development of the kingdom is uneven, and there are many contradictions from top to bottom...

On the contrary, it is a corner of the kingdom, which is ridiculed as "parrot parrot". Its status and size are not as good as the Emerald City of Yongxing City. family…

   "Do you understand now?"

  Just listen to the twins say coldly:

   "Thanks to you, we may be able to win the favor of the prince for a while, Your Majesty favors you."

   "But you want to make the Nan'an leader become like this, destroying the foundation of several generations of rule and wealth?"

   "Your crown is secure."

   "Our stool has collapsed!"

   "Then you will send us a certificate of commendation?"

   "Written a letter 'Prince Thales sincerely thanks'?"

   "It's better to give me a love letter, let us be your lady officer, lover, confidante..."

   "Embracing left and right, singing every night?"

  The two sisters were sarcastic, making Thales frown.

"Therefore…"

   "Although the royal family has great power, its power is hard to beat."

   "Overbearing and tyrannical, cannot be opposed."

   "But for the fields in front of the house and the livelihood of the family members, they are orphans and widows..."

  Qina's ending sound was impassioned, and Kaisha swung the folding fan in coordination:

   "And with all my might..."

   "Fight back!"

  The voices of the two sisters fell, and Thales was silent for a long time.

   "So," the prince said quietly, "Cooperating with Zhan En to protect the Emerald City is the choice of the Karabyan family out of interests and positions."

  Kasha and Qina looked at each other, then nodded slowly:

"This is a fact."

   "It's also a reality."

   "The situation is like this."

   "The general trend."

   "Of course."

   "It's just and right."

   "Well, it sounds like an unsolvable problem, and the nobles on the South Bank will not compromise anyway."

  Facing the two sisters who were in a good mood, as if they were winning, Thales nodded thoughtfully:

   "But why so late?"

"What?"

   "What's late?"

  Thales let out a breath.

   "I'm asking, since the interests are the same, the positions are the same, and you are determined to resist the royal family, why didn't you help earlier?"

  The faces of the two sisters changed slightly.

   "Why don't you cooperate with Kevin Dill before the general election, frame the blame, throw dirty water or something, and drive me back to the royal capital early, so as to prevent problems before they happen?"

  Thales shrugged and spread his hands:

"I have to wait until Federico shows up, the city is in an uproar, the Duke is imprisoned, Kongming Palace changes hands, no matter how late you come, make troubles, mess up the Emerald City, force me to compromise, force to retreat Fuxing Palace, to return the Duke?"

  The Karabyan twins fell silent together, restraining their smiles.

   The study room was quiet for a few seconds.

  Thales looked at Kai'Sa and then at Qina, with a deep expression.

   "It's our fault, we underestimated the development of the situation." Kaisha said suddenly, regretful.

   "Who would have expected that His Majesty would be so thunderous..." Qina nodded and added with a sad expression.

   "By the time we react, it's too late."

   "I can only make up for it, talk about it as compensation..."

   "Or it was intentional," Thales said coldly, "deliberately delaying until the situation is irreversible, so that it can be sold for a price?"

  Kasha and Qina's eyes moved.

   (“He's really learned how to interject!”—the two sisters secretly gnashing their teeth)

   "In this way, I, Zhan En, and even His Majesty and others can see..."

  Thales stretched out two fingers, pointing unceremoniously at the two guests.

   "In this storm, you Karabyan are the ones holding the key and calming down the situation?"

  As for the damage to the Emerald City...

  Thales felt disdainful.

   Once it comes, as long as it is not completely destroyed, there is still salvation.

  Secondly, if there is no Emerald City in the south bank...

   Isn't there a Walla collar?

"If my guess is true, it at least proves that your fear and hatred of Zhan En is no less than your fear and rejection of the Fuxing Palace." The prince took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "That is to say, Compared to what you guys said earlier, 'No rules, no two sides'... we have something to talk about, right?"

   The twins' smiles disappeared.

   "Your Highness wants to sow dissension..." Kai'Sa said with a cold face.

   "It's really painstaking." Qina said disdainfully.

  Thales smiled.

"According to what you said, if the dignitaries of the royal capital stretched their hands into the Emerald City, it would be like a savage prehistoric giant crocodile rushing into a small fish pond—that's why you have to support Zhan En to protect everyone in the south bank and benefit from it." the rule of."

  Prince's voice changed:

   "But don't forget, the reason why Zhan En protects and abides by this set of rules is because this rule is in his best interest, it is his rule."

  Thales narrowed his eyes:

   "For example, after I took over Kongming Palace, I discovered that more than 90% of the most profitable industries in South Bank are located around the Emerald City, or are closely related to the Emerald City."

  At this moment, the twins exchanged glances.

"And in Emerald City, there are 90% of the business industry. All the positions are relatives and partners of the Kevin Dier family, former disciples or glove spokespersons. The right to speak in charge and the right to distribute profits are all controlled by Zhan Dier. En is firmly in control, saying the same thing, and the rest of the forces, regardless of the noble business group—even the Karabyan family, who is the lord of the Vola lord—have to rely on it, and at most they will eat a little more leftovers than others.”

  Thales changed his voice:

   "Why, except for the different positions, the degree is different. Is it similar to the 'royal capital dignitaries' you just complained about?"

  The twins frowned.

   "So I guess, under this set of rules, the Calvin Dill family themselves are a terrible big shark. Of course, it must not be as big and fierce as the prehistoric giant crocodile in the Fuxing Palace."

  Thales stared sharply:

"But big fish eat small fish, there is no essential difference between being eaten by sharks or being eaten by giant crocodiles-just like your fear of Zhan En and your fear of my father, but the degree is different, and the inside is the same. "

  Thales narrowed his eyes:

   "Especially, compared to the king who is far away in the capital, you are too close to Zhan En and have dealt with him for too many years."

  The twins looked at each other with serious expressions, without saying a word.

"You know him too well: apart from sitting in a condescending position and manipulating and dominating his subordinates since birth, Zhan En is shrewd, cunning, ruthless, thoughtful, young and powerful, good at dividing and controlling power, especially Good at warming up with tenderness, but absolutely ruthless at critical moments..."

  Thales continued:

"He treats everyone under his hands as pawns and bargaining chips, calculating value and squeezing energy to the maximum extent, but his image is perfect and beyond reproach. No matter what complaints his subordinates have, he can't export it, which always makes people feel sympathetic. I feel that 'with such a good boss, the subordinates should be willing to endure overtime and wage arrears'..."

  The voice fell, and the two ladies fell into silence.

"The reason why you want to drag him down to lose power, let him be bitten by a giant crocodile before getting out of trouble, is not because he is not a 'good husband'," Thales put down his teacup, obviously talking about others, but he felt something in his heart , Empathized, "It's because he is not an easy boss to deal with."

  Thales narrowed his eyes:

   "Especially for those restless colleagues and subordinates."

  At this moment, Kaisha and Qina were expressionless, but their eyes were cold.

   "But you know this."

   Observing the expressions and reactions of the two, Thales finally confirmed:

   "Long before you teamed up with him to try to take back the Emerald City for him."

   This time, the two sisters were silent for a long time.

  But Thales was also very patient, waiting quietly.

   I don't know how long it has passed.

   "Of course, we know." Kai'Sa said softly.

   "It's like a wife understands her husband." Qina said coldly.

   “Like a subordinate knows her boss.”

  The twins said intentionally or unintentionally:

   “Like a son knows his father.”

   "Like a courtier understands a king."

   "Even if the latter is so selfish that he doesn't realize it."

  Thales was silent for a while, remembering the envoy Harshat's evaluation and fear of Zhan En, as well as what happened to him in the Fuxing Palace.

   "But so what?" Kai'Sa came back to her senses and took a deep breath.

   "This will not change the facts." Qina said coldly.

   "We still won't help you."

   "On the contrary, after being humiliated by the Kevin Dill brothers and sisters, your reputation has been ruined, and there is no way to retreat."

  Thales was silent for a long time.

   "Forget it, Your Majesty," he sighed, "Zhan En, does he know that you are so double-faced, taking advantage of the fire and robbing, and trying to get him to do it?"

  Unexpectedly, the twins showed no fear and sneered together.

   "I thought you knew the Duke well."

   "It seems to be nothing more than that."

  Thales frowned.

   "Do you think Master Zhan En didn't think of this when he asked us for help?"

   "Do you think that he has to be bitten by a giant crocodile to get help, isn't he willing?"

  Thales' complexion changed slightly.

  He looked at the two sisters with calm expressions and no shame, and suddenly understood.

I see.

  Jane knows.

  They know it too.

  In a chess game, everyone knows what price they will bear and what consequences they will face.

   But they still have no hesitation.

   Step forward towards the established line.

  Because in the kingdom, the rolling furnace has been opened.

   Hot and scalding, burning everything.

   Do not allow them to hesitate for a moment.

  He realized again that the two sisters in front of him were not people like Tanganga who would submit to fear and threats.

but…

   "Aren't you bored?" Thales said quietly.

   "Bored?" the twins wondered.

  Thales sighed softly:

   "Yes, bored, this is what Mira...Miss Miranda said to me."

  The Karabyan sisters looked at each other with disdain:

   "Mira?"

   "Miranda?"

   "Northern Crazy Approval?"

   "Steel ruthless woman?"

  Thales nodded.

   "For you, this trip to the Emerald City, this storm of power grabs, and this unusual political game, no matter how well you did it, even if you kicked me and the Fuxing Palace out..."

  The prince had misty eyes, recalling Mira's devotion to him at Star Lake Castle:

   "The leader of the South Bank is still the Kevin Dill family. It's Zhan En. It's this duplicity boss who is in power."

  Thales looked at the two girls:

   "The Emerald City is still operating in the same way as before, unchanged."

   Sister Karabiyan paused, seeming both upset and puzzled:

"Is not it good?"

   "Isn't that the purpose?"

  Thales shook his head.

   "As for the two of you, Kaisha and Qina, the de facto operators of the Karabyan family..."

  He looked at the two of them quietly, with a regretful tone:

  “Even if you are at the top, your limit, and your best in this position—I think you have already done it—you still bear the world's expectations of you 'marry a husband'.”

  Kasha and Qina stared at each other.

   "I still have to do my best to manage and gain space to maintain my own value and freedom, and at the same time I am forced to pretend to be crazy and stupid to find the ideal 'husband who died early'..."

  Thales remembered something, and the more he said, the more emotional he became:

   "Still can only spend far more than the cost of gaining, to 'manage up and down, clear the relationship' on another level, do things that you don't like, and dress up as you are not used to, just for..."

  Thales let out a long sigh:

   "You guys really, don't get bored?"

   This time, the two sisters were puzzled at first, then lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time.

  Until they suddenly raised their heads, they spoke again, with a hint of imperceptible anger in their words:

   "When His Highness questioned us, he was condescending and confident."

   "But I forgot my position and situation!"

  Thales frowned.

  I saw Kaisha and Qina saying something to each other, sneering, and piercing the prince's past weakness:

   "You were born as an illegitimate bastard, but you voluntarily?"

   "You went to Exeter as a hostage, but voluntarily?"

   "You were in danger at the Saber Camp, but did you do it voluntarily?"

   "You fought a duel at the royal banquet, but it was voluntary?"

   "You left the dilapidated Fort Star Lake, but did you do it voluntarily?"

   "Your mission to Emerald City is voluntary?"

  The two sisters groaned angrily:

   "And you really..."

   "Aren't you bored?"

  Thales opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless, so he could only remain silent.

  So the Devil Twins carried guns and sticks, and pursued the victory:

   "In the Star Kingdom, you seem to have a high status."

   "It's superfluous and embarrassing!"

   "The relationship between you and His Majesty is complicated, and you are suspicious of each other. It is rare to trust, let alone reuse."

   "However, you are unwilling to be wronged, unwilling to let things go, and often run amok and cause trouble."

   "His Royal Highness is regent in the Emerald City, and everyone seems to respect him."

   "In fact, no one cares at all!"

   "Sitting in the Kongming Palace, you seem to be in a high position and authoritative."

   "But it's just a marionette!"

  "Because smart people understand that at both ends of the thread, only King Kessel and Duke Jann are pulling back and forth."

   "What everyone is waiting for is the victory of the royal family and the iris family!"

   "Who cares which way your **** is facing, what kind of smell it comes out, and what shape is the stuff you squeeze out?"

   "In this game between Fuxing Palace and Kongming Palace, you are at best an extra."

  Kasha sneered:

   "That's why you need to fight desperately at this moment to strive for a sense of existence."

  Qina clicked her tongue in revenge:

   "Avoid drowning in the waves of powerful and powerful fights."

  The two sisters looked at each other:

   "And you really..."

   "Don't you feel bored?" (End of this chapter)
