Kingdom's Bloodline Chapter 741

   This time, it was Thales' turn to be silent for a long time.

   "Well, you are right. On this point, I really have no position to persuade you."

  The prince thought of something, sighed helplessly, full of emotion:

"Just like me, no matter how well I fulfill Your Majesty's plan, or give in to you... No matter who wins or loses in Emerald City, I'm still in the same cage—however, I still need this cage to survive. "

  Thales said in a trance:

   "After all, as a person, it is difficult to distinguish what is chosen by oneself and what is chosen... Including what is the right to choose by oneself because it was chosen in advance..."

  Looking at such a prince, the two Karabyan sisters looked at each other suspiciously.

   "It's a bit confusing." Qina frowned.

   "But I can generally understand it." Kai'Sa narrowed her eyes.

  Thales came back to his senses, showing a wry smile.

   "So, yeah, I'm bored," he stretched after sitting too long, "I really want to change my life."

   "But what about you?"

  Kasha and Qina were both taken aback.

  The next second, they looked at each other and nodded.

   "We are Karabyan."

  KaSa gritted her teeth.

   "It's like you are a star." Qina nodded desperately.

   "Born here."

   "Die here!"

  The two of them are still young, but they are like soldiers on the battlefield, ready to die.

  After hearing this, Thales was a little dazed.

   It seemed to hear another sentence.

  【Fight for the stars, die for the stars, live for the stars...】

"therefore…"

  Just listen to the twins speaking in tandem:

   "We won't, and have no time to get bored!"

   "Otherwise is there any other way?"

   "When you are crowned, will you give us a million dollars?"

   "Promote us to be the prime minister of the kingdom?"

   "Or is it your queen?"

   "How about going one step further and crowning the Queen of the Stars?"

   "Have the right to do whatever you want?"

  Thales didn't answer immediately.

  He was silent, thinking for a while, before looking thoughtfully at the two sisters:

   "Korn Karabyan, is he your brother?"

  The two ladies of the Twin Towers and Swords frowned.

   "It's useless to play the family card."

   "Especially our stupid brother."

   "And, can you be friends with him?"

   "Can't help but make us feel sad for you."

   "Deep sorrow!"

   "How sad!"

  Thales laughed, he raised his finger to stop the other party's words:

   "But do you know what makes Cohen better than you?"

  These words have no beginning, no end, and no logic. Kaisha and Qina were taken aback for a moment, and then they both burst into laughter:

   "Korn? Better than us?"

   "The giant baby gorilla?"

  The two sisters are both dissatisfied and disdainful:

   "Where is it strong? Stronger than us?"

   "For five silver coins, I can hire someone twice as strong as him!"

   "Better than us?"

   "Five gold coins, I can hire someone who can beat him!"

   "Stupider than us?"

   "Five copper coins, I can hire more than him-sorry, I really can't hire this one."

   "Is it more irresponsible and empty-headed than us?"

   "Just because I had a fight with my father, I slapped my **** and ran away from home!"

   "Father is so angry that he is sick and sick, and mother is sick and sad!"

   "We are not as tall as a wheel, and we have to afford the whole family's livelihood!"

   "I was still worried about the safety of my silly brother, so I saved two hundred and fifty living expenses for him!"

   "I have to do everything possible to hide it from my father!"

   "Still racking my brains to hide from the gorilla!"

   "Otherwise the gorilla will pretend not to accept it!"

   "When I arrived in the capital, I still caused trouble again and again!"

   "Dare to offend even the iron-fisted king!"

   "Even dare to follow the troublesome prince!"

   "It made us come here to wipe his ass!"

   "Being bullied miserably by a domineering prince!"

   "Let him take advantage of us!"

   "Woo, our lives are bitter..."

   "When will I be able to have the pity of the man in my dream!"

  Boom!

  Thales slammed the teacup heavily, interrupting their duet that started again unconsciously.

"Indeed, Cohen, he may have done a lot of stupid things, stupid things, things that are not recognized by others, with no prospects and no results," Thales said with a serious expression, "but at least, everything, everything is Out of Cohen's own will and choice."

  He thought of the Cohen who was discouraged by the countless setbacks in the work of the police, and the Cohen who couldn't help crying because he heard the disbandment of the abandoned house.

  And that Cohen who was stupid no matter in Dragon Clouds City or Eternal Star City, but never hesitated before making costly choices.

   "Unlike us, he can take responsibility on his own," Thales said quietly, with jealousy hidden in his words, "he only takes his own responsibilities."

   Contrary to Thales' expectations, the twins' complexions changed suddenly as soon as these words came out.

   "Fart! Fart! Fart!" Kai'Sa was furious.

   "If he can take the responsibility..." Qina looked coldly.

  They seem to be irritated.

   "Why do we have to go through this muddy water?"

   "If he can take responsibility..."

   "Then why are we here?"

   "Whoring for nothing for the prince!"

  Thales sneered.

  The two sisters continued, more sullen:

   "If he can take responsibility..."

   "I won't break into the palace with you..."

   "Hang up the number with His Majesty..."

   "If we don't come to this..."

  Hearing this, Thales suddenly interrupted loudly:

"Is it!"

  He said coldly:

   "I thought it didn't matter to you whether your brother died or not, at most it was just a bonus."

  The Karabyan sisters both choked.

  Thales sarcastically said:

   "As you said, in front of the family, an individual is of no importance at all—even the heir of the family."

   "Sister, he..." Qina gritted her teeth.

   "He imitated us again!" Kai'Sa's eyes were burning.

  Thales took a deep breath:

   "Now, Kasha, Qina, what is the purpose of you coming here? Is it really to wipe Cohen's **** and take on the responsibility that should belong to him?"

  Kasha and Qina both gritted their teeth and remained silent.

  The prince stared at Cohen's two younger sisters:

   "Or is it to take on his share—the responsibility that was imposed on him, but was hated and rejected by him?"

  He went a step further, looking straight at the opponents, as if to see through their disguise:

   "Or, it is imposed on you, but you have no way to refuse the responsibility?"

  The demon twins of Vola collar were stunned.

  They looked at Thales suspiciously and hesitantly, as if they had never known him.

   "If you think about this clearly, maybe you will understand why Cohen is better than you—even better than me." Thales said quietly.

  The two Karabyans did not answer immediately.

  One of them was in a state of mind, and the other was full of anger.

   "Hmph! Your Highness has a sharp tongue, especially good at sophistry." Kaisha reacted, gritted her teeth and refuted.

   "We've heard about it a long time ago!" Qina said angrily.

  After speaking, they snorted angrily, and once again unfolded the black folding fans in unison, showing the obscenities on them, and faced the second prince:

  【Yao Shou Nanzi. 】

  Thales vaguely knew where their unusual anger came from.

  But he didn't refute, just smiled lightly:

"Is it?"

  The next second, before the twins became even more angry, Thales changed the topic first:

   "Then do you know how Miranda Arend is better than you?"

  KaSa and Qina were taken aback again.

   "Miranda?"

   "Aarend?"

  The two sisters looked at each other, as if seeing the most ridiculous thing, and laughed several times.

   "Iron Armored Woman?"

   "Northern Crazy Approval?"

  As if to prove something, their voices became louder and their words became more mean:

   "The heir to the cold castle whose inheritance rights have been emptied?"

   "The vanguard of the stronghold, disgraced by his father's treason?"

   "The cold winter sword that no man listens to when you speak in the northern border?"

   "The white eagle noble who does odd jobs for little brats?"

   "A muscular man who only has brute force left?"

   "A violent female swordsman who only knows how to swing a sword?"

   "She can't support her alone, she can't even pull an army of ten people!"

   "It's really pulled up, I'm afraid His Majesty will kill her!"

  "She is deeply trapped in the whirlpool, and she will embarrass the host and guest wherever she lives!"

   "The only one who is not embarrassed is Xinghu Castle, which is poorer than Hanbao, farther than Changqing, and smaller than my living room!"

   "She is better than us?"

   "Eating dry rice is definitely better than us!"

  KaSa suppressed her anger:

   "She has nothing!"

  Qina's eyes are fierce:

   “We have it all!”

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

  Thales slapped his hands hard to show his approval.

   "Yes, Miranda, she has nothing now."

  He remembered Mira's resoluteness when she was in Star Lake Castle, and resolutely said:

   "At most, they are my subordinates who run errands by my side—well, it's still informal, and even the certificate of appointment as an attendant hasn't been approved from the Fuxing Palace yet."

  He turned his gaze.

   "And you, you have everything you need," Thales looked at the two Karabyans and sighed, "For example, you were born to belong to the prominent and famous Karabyan family on the south bank of the kingdom..."

  Kasha looked pale, and Qina looked proud.

  Until Thales' next sentence:

   "Marriage chips for..."

  The twins suddenly changed color.

   "Sister..." Kai'Sa gritted her teeth.

   "Sister!" Qina's eyes lit up.

  They held each other's hands tightly, and stared at Thales with a calm expression.

   "Or, you are destined to be the family of a prominent and famous high-ranking official in a certain place in the kingdom..."

  Thales paused slightly:

   "Facade decoration of...?"

   "Sister!" Kaisha held her sister, her chest rising and falling.

   "Sister." Qina squeezed her hand back tightly, with difficult words.

   But Thales is not over yet.

   "Even if you are satisfied and find a noble and wealthy husband who can die early, people will still call you..."

  Thales said disdainfully:

   “…the widow of so-and-so, a survivor.”

  His expression is playful:

   "And do you know that a certain king of my ancestors was fond of marrying rich widows? To make money from it?"

  At this moment, the anger in Kai'Sa and Qina's eyes couldn't be increased.

   But Thales laughed.

  He took a deep breath and looked out the window at the blue sky.

   "But compared to these, compared to you, Ms. Miranda Arend," Thales' attitude gradually strengthened with the words, "Mira, she is mine..."

  Thales paused for a while, then turned around and corrected with a smile:

   "No, she chose to be my..."

  At that moment, the prince's eyes were burning, full of confidence:

   "Knight."

  The study room fell silent.

   Knight.

   A word.

   Pronunciation is simple, without description, without modification.

  But the moment the word was spoken, Kaisha and Qina gritted their teeth.

"What does it mean?"

   "What's the difference?"

  They still looked stubborn and forced themselves to be disdainful.

  But Thales found that they were all trembling slightly unconsciously.

   "Part-time job is part-time job!"

   "To lose power is to lose power!"

   "No matter how nicely you put it, it's the same!"

   "What about the knight?"

   "It's useless!"

   "When the master is in a state of desperation..."

   "Did she fart anything useful?"

  But Thales was not in a hurry, he just shook his head gently:

   "I think you guys know the difference better than I do—not to mention, she might be the first duchess in the northern part of the kingdom."

  The expressions of the two sisters changed, Kaisha bit her lip in dissatisfaction, and Qina held her sister's hand tightly.

   "His Highness is so generous, he made promises without being crowned..."

  The two sisters have bad intentions:

   "Have you reported it to His Majesty?"

   "No," Thales said generously, frankly and sincerely, "Because I'm different from you—I'm bored!"

  The Karabyan sisters looked at each other in disbelief.

   "Even, the Kevin Dill you hate the most, the Miss Cecilia who got me to where I am now, who is desperate..."

   When the twins heard this name, it was like being stepped on their feet.

   "Ah! That pervert, crazy!"

   "Dead woman, Miss Monster!"

   "Catastrophe!"

   "Pretending to be a ghost!"

   "Let us enter the temple together and be punished!"

   "Lost the best childhood!"

   "Yes, Xilai is...frail and sick. She has not been in the Emerald City for a long time, and has a bad relationship with her brother. It is not as good as you who are in charge of politics in Vola and make decisions."

  Thales hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed:

   "But at that moment, at the moment when she preyed on me and humiliated me, she took the initiative to choose to be my opponent, my enemy."

  Thales looked at the two female guests with angry expressions.

"And you, Kaisha, Qina, as you said," Thales shook his head lightly, not without regret, "Karabiyan is destined to be an ally of Kevin Dill, destined to only be entangled with the Iris family , can't break free."

   Following Thales' words, the breathing of the two sisters gradually became disordered.

   "Because you are not incapable, nor are you free, but 'unqualified' to be bored, let alone struggle and relief."

  Kasha and Qina's angry eyes gradually froze.

   "Because you have been born to now, maybe later to death..."

  Thales' eyes darkened:

   "There is no choice."

  After the words fell, Kaisha and Qina shook slightly, their faces pale.

   It was quiet in the study for a long time.

  Until the ugly-looking Kai'Sa calmed down and tried her best to respond:

   "I know, Your Highness wants to persuade us to deviate from the position of the family and make our own choices?"

   "Impossible!" Qina raised her head angrily, crystals were faintly visible in the corners of her eyes.

   "And no matter how much you talk," Kai'Sa tried to maintain her sanity, "After all, you can't change a fact."

  She took a deep breath:

   "Whether it is our will or not, we and Karabyan..."

   "One prospers all, one loses all!"

   "It's like you and the Canxing family."

   "Blessed by it, but also restricted by it!"

   "Leaving family power is like a fish leaving water."

   "There will only be more lost than gained!"

   "Without Karabyan, we can't help you even if we want to."

   "It's even more impossible to turn around and help each other, and bring harm to oneself!"

  The twins stared at him, trembling, and finished speaking.

  Thales looked back at them calmly.

   "Is it impossible for you, or is it impossible for Karabyan?"

   "Impossible!" Qina said abruptly.

   "You can't, and you can't separate us from Karabyan." Kaisha added slowly.

  Thales laughed, he shook his head:

   "Don't worry, I don't have that luxury."

  KaSa took a deep breath and nodded:

   "You know, that's the best."

  Qina forced tears back into the corners of her eyes:

   "You better know!"

   Persuasion failed.

  But Thales has no sense of frustration.

   Facing the two sisters who had trouble breathing and emotional ups and downs, he felt that he had caught something.

   Something that touches the soul.

   "Even if you are not tired of the status quo," Thales said softly, "but aren't the Karabyans tired of it?"

   "Bored of what?"

   "What are you trying to argue about!"

  The two sisters are ready for battle.

  Thales leaned back and looked at the ceiling.

"Let me ask this: You guys stood in line with Zhan En and successfully resisted this wave of royal invasion, the clutches of the Fuxing Palace," he sighed softly, "but what about the next wave? What about the next wave? What about the next wave? "

   "You mean you're going to make a comeback?" Kai'Sa said coldly.

   "It's too far ahead!" Qina objected.

   "Let's take care of things after you return to Eternal Star City."

   "Someone is going to be spanked by daddy!"

  Thales smiled.

   "No, I mean, whether it is to protect the vital interests, endorse the relevant classes, or to maintain the system, defend the foundation of the rule, or even more illusory to defend the way of life and values..."

  He sat up straight and looked directly at the two girls:

   "It doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong, right or wrong, legitimate or not, but for so many years, the South Shore Territory and the Emerald City always seem to be... passive defense?"

  Maybe the answer was unexpected, Kaisha and Qina were both startled.

"And Karabiyan is even harder and harder, because he has to do everything possible to help the Emerald City and defend the royal family's external attack on the South Bank Territory, and he has to make every effort to weaken Kevin Dill's internal suppression of you and **** more. The right to speak internally always seems to be facing the enemy on both sides..."

  Thales sighed to the two ladies:

   "Just like you, in order to be free, you both want to find a husband, and you also want to find a husband who died early. It seems that you are always... looking for a husband?"

  The study room was instantly quiet.

  The two Miss Karabyan frowned tightly, in surprise.

   "I don't understand." Kai'Sa said coldly.

   "What do you mean?" Qina asked suspiciously.

They restrained their anger, their expressions were cold, and there were two dark grooves on each of their faces due to the messy makeup. When they all raised their heads and looked at Thales coldly, they looked a little bit different. Very ghostly sense of terror.

   "I mean, the times are changing, the kingdom is moving forward, well, maybe the South Bank leader is still a small step ahead, that's why he has accumulated so much wealth that the Fuxing Palace is greedy..."

  Thales rubbed his nose, feeling that he had found the key.

"However, no matter whether it is Karabyan or Kevin Dill, their eyes still only stay on the corner of the South Bank," he said with his tongue, "like a cat protecting its food, always thinking, 'My cat food is better, but it must be good. Protect, don't let other cats take it away'."

  Thales looked at the two girls:

   "Isn't it a pity?"

  KaSa fell into deep thought, without saying a word.

   "Food protection? What a pity?" Qina chewed these words slowly.

  Thales nodded with a smile.

"Because what is really better in your hands is not cat food, not just cat food, at least not these things that will be taken away," Thales said slowly, "but those things that cannot be taken away—such as search The experience and skill of cat food?"

  KaSa's eyes lit up:

   "You mean..."

  Thales spread his hands:

   "Since the Nan'an Territory is already one step ahead in the country, why can't it continue to lead?"

  He said slowly in the most bewitching tone he could think of:

  "Since you are one step ahead, why do you refuse to face it because you are afraid of falling behind?

  "Since we are one step ahead, why should we take a defensive position and keep going?

  “Why don't you open your arms to protect food, take the offensive, and face a wider world?

  "Why not use the loss at this moment to exchange for future progress?"

  The Karabyan sisters were all stunned.

   "Kohen told me that if you don't rush to attack in battle, always defend passively, and you will be counterattacked by your opponent."

  Thales' eyes were burning:

   "If you waste the opportunity, you will be punished."

  KaSa frowned tightly, lost in thought, but suddenly said:

   "Since you don't want to find a husband, why can't you not find a husband?"

  Qina came back to herself in shock:

   "Sister!"

  Thales smiled.

   "I can see that Earl Turami Karabyan is a good father. He loves you and trusts you, which is why he entrusts you with so many affairs and industries to manage and make decisions."

  KaSa's eyes dimmed:

   "To leave us a dowry."

  Qina raised her mouth:

   "Let us be tougher at my husband's house in the future."

  Thales shook his head:

   "But as you say, the best dad isn't the best dad—unless he dies."

  Kasha's eyes moved:

   "Be careful, Your Highness, in your capacity..."

  Qina was incomparably tacit, and took over the conversation:

   "I don't want to say that."

  Then you go to sue the king?

  Thales condensed these words in his eyes, and glanced at them indifferently.

  The Karabyan sisters frowned and looked at each other.

"But compared to this, the real pity is: no matter how well you do in Walla, no matter how much money you make, how much business you negotiate, how many contacts you make, how many political struggles you win, and how many people you block. No matter how many emerald city lords you keep, even if you play well in this position, the influence and effect will be limited after all, and it can only be limited to the South Bank Territory, and you can only use one territory to resist the central royal family. of—plunder, or invade?"

  Thales continued:

"And in the South Bank, you can be a rich widow for the rest of your life. It is the limit to care about your own dozens of boxes of dowry and your husband's hundreds of acres of land. At most, um, a Countess of Karabyan? The premise Cohen still has to die early or abandon the throne, and then you have to marry a husband, have a baby, and leave offspring."

   The Demon Twins made no sound.

   "But just imagine, if one day, you can use the determination and wisdom of the orphans and widows to defend their homes and fight back, the energy and fame that the Karabyan family can use, and the anger and strength that you are unwilling to compromise..."

  Thales lowered the volume and slowed down the speaking speed:

   "Will it be used in the imperial meeting?"

  At that moment, the Karabyan sisters were both startled and looked up together:

   "What are you talking about?"

   "Male shrimp?"

  Thales blinked.

   "I know that the Karabyan family is worried about the invasion of the royal power and the shaking of the foundation of the South Bank..."

  He spread his palms:

   "But guess, who in the Kingdom of Stars can most influence—not resist—the invasion of the royal power? Who can really shake the ruling foundation of the South Bank, and even the entire Kingdom of Stars?"

  Kasha and Qina looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.

   "Is it the person sitting in the Kongming Palace, sitting in this study room," Thales gestured, "or is it sitting in the Fuxing Palace, sitting in the Ballard Room—sorry, the people in the Imperial Conference Room?"

  The sisters looked at him in disbelief.

   "I think, at that time, what you can protect, fight for, obtain, and change... But it is far more than the 'Kongming Palace', not just the 'Government Foundation of the Nan'an Territory'."

  Thales said in a deep voice:

   "Once someone in the palace has the idea of ​​Nan'an leader or even Karabiyan, you can take the first step and suppress the spark from the source, from the Fuxing Palace.

   "Once a crisis similar to Emerald City strikes again, you can form a chessboard across the country as long as you make your own moves, so that the leaders of the South Bank will no longer fight alone, isolated and helpless...

   "Even further... If the entire kingdom inherits and carries forward the rules and systems of the South Shore Territory..."

   But before he finished speaking, Kaisha interrupted him:

   "What are you doing, Your Highness?"

  Qina stared at him stubbornly:

   "What do you mean by that?"

  Thales looked at his sister, then at his sister, and smiled slightly:

   "It's very simple, I want to add money."

  The two sisters were at a loss.

   "Your Highness's words," Kaisa was dubious and cautious, "are you promising us a place in the Imperial Council?"

   "Golden words?" Qina narrowed her eyes.

  In the quiet study room, Thales and the two Karabyans looked at each other quietly.

   After a few seconds.

   "Ha, how is it possible!"

  Thales laughed and waved his hands, and retracted into the chair as if scalded by boiling water: "Be careful, in my capacity..."

  He blinked:

   "I don't want to say that."

  The two sisters did not laugh, but narrowed their eyes and observed carefully.

   "It should be noted that every seat in the imperial meeting is extremely important, and it is related to the country's major affairs."

   "And I'm not the king," Thales looked at the two ladies with deep meaning, "Where do you get the qualifications to appoint and dismiss important ministers?"

  The voice fell.

  The two sisters took a small breath.

   "Oh my God, sister." Qina's breathing accelerated.

   "I know." Kai'Sa spoke with difficulty.

   "Is he tempting us?"

"I know!"

   "Tempt us to betray and cheat?"

"I know!"

   "So he's flirting?"

"I know!!"

   "Take all your strength!"

   "I know ah ah ah!"

  Thales had a strange look on his face.

   "All right," he waved his hands, "Anyway, that's what it means, let's use your analogy."

  The next second, the expressions of the two sisters changed.

   No longer have the previous anger and anxiety.

  No longer have the previous arrogance.

   Instead it becomes…

   "Hey, I really don't observe masculinity." Kaisha sneered.

   "But it's impressive." Qina smiled evilly.

   "Ah, it took me a long time to find out," Thales scratched his head helplessly, "So you two like this."

  The two sisters got behind the foul-speaking folding fan, chattered for a while, and then reappeared.

   "Do you know, handsome Your Highness, this is your most attractive moment these days."

   "Although it's the first time, I can't help being jerky and nervous..."

  KaSa narrowed her eyes:

   "But far more mature than a brainless brat pretending to be a masculine man."

  Qina nodded calmly:

   "It's also far more refreshing than the hypocritical old fritters pretending to be Mr. Shijia."

   “It turns out that all you have to do is think about…”

   "Can also make a show of one's head, seduce people and commit crimes!"

  Thales sighed with his hands on his forehead, automatically ignoring their hints.

   "Okay, so what do you say?"

  The devil twins smiled and looked at each other.

  The next second, they all shook their heads and said in unison:

"No!"

  Thales let out a sigh of relief, and fell down on the desk with a disappointed face.

  Has he said so much in front of him for nothing?

   "Once we agree to His Highness and make concessions, it means that the Emerald City will fall and the royal power will invade..."

   "Once Karabyan's interests are damaged, the scenery will no longer be, or even decline..."

  The twins chuckled:

   "We lost our family support."

   "What else do you need to get out of the South Bank Territory, to win... a place in the so-called 'broader world' of yours?"

  Thales lifted his head from the table and let out a long sigh.

"First of all, believe me, based on my understanding of the efficiency of the imperial meeting, the process of 'conquering' the Emerald City will not be so fast. The accountant under Manager Joke Mann will take at least a year and a half just to count the accounts ..."

  He looked at the two confident sisters in disbelief, speaking in a hurry, he almost grabbed their shoulders and shook:

   "Secondly, are you so unconfident in yourself?"

  Sister Karabyan blinked.

   "Do you think that you can have what you are today, and you can sit in front of me and talk freely, all relying on Karabyan's established power and status? Relying on the trust and prestige of Earl Turami?"

  The twins smiled and looked at each other, meaning unknown.

"Please, you two can beat me to pieces, make the Emerald City fall apart, and make my father gnash his teeth and jump on the throne, but there is nothing you can do about it," Thales said anxiously, "Can you Karabiyan has brought the situation of Emerald City and the kingdom's major policies to the point where it is now frequently affected. Your energy is not small, and your contribution is indispensable, so don't underestimate yourself."

   "Your Highness, what you say is just to incite and incite."

   "Others can do it in our position."

  Thales frowned:

   "Anyone else can do it... eh, Cohen?"

  The two sisters were stunned for a moment, but were at a loss for words.

   "Speaking of this, do you know..."

  Thales remembered something and remembered:

   "The two hundred and fifty gold coins you sent to Cohen, he didn't touch a single one, and all of them were stored in a frontier tavern."

  The two sisters were taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, one gritted his teeth and the other was filled with righteous indignation:

"I knew it!"

   "Tsundere Gorilla!"

   "He deserves to be hungry!"

   "Unfortunately, I was so frugal at the time, I was not even willing to buy the latest Wangdu vanity box!"

   "I also sold a lot of jewelry and shoes, and there are only twelve sets of dresses left!"

   "Don't expect my mother to help him in the future!"

  Thales reached out his hand in time and changed the subject:

   "Don't worry, this money has a place to go, all of it has been used to repay and support those veterans who had accidents in the desert..."

   "Bah! Fake kindness!"

   "Spending my sister's money..."

   "Of course I don't feel bad!"

   "I want him to pay back the money! And interest!"

"But because of this," Thales interrupted them, not without emotion, "in today's Saber Dune camp, you mention the name 'Korn, the big fool, Karabyan', far more than mentioning the name of the nobleman. Gentlemen's names are much more useful, and being 'friend of Cohen' is much more popular than 'friend of Karabyan'."

  The two sisters were silent.

"Those two hundred and fifty gold coins belong to you, or to be more precise, belong to the Karabyan family, and belong to Vola's collar," Thales sighed, "but they cross thousands of mountains and rivers, This thing, this choice, this meaning, I believe..."

  He looked at Kaisha and Qina, and said seriously:

   "Then forever and ever, only Cohn's."

  Kasha and her sisters are thoughtful.

   "Because this is something that can't be done with Karabyan's surname alone."

  The voice fell, and the three were silent for a long time.

   "Your Highness has been telling us for so long, but has he ever asked what our father meant?" Kai'Sa said in a deep voice.

   "What if he disagrees?" Qina frowned.

   "Really," Thales shrugged, "Do I still need to ask him?"

  The three raised their heads together, looked at each other in the air, and smiled together.

   "These words just now, these words of 'concession at this moment', 'rather than passive defense, it is better to take the initiative', 'take the offensive, open up the world'..." Kai'Sa pondered.

   "Have you told Master Zhan En?" Qina asked.

   "Have you tried to persuade him with this?"

   "Have you tried your best to seduce him to cheat?"

  Thales smiled disdainfully.

   "Ha! Don't talk about 'concession at this moment'..."

  Recalling the wound on his face, he bitterly said:

   "There is no word 'concession' in the dictionary of the Kevin Dill family—no one in their family is willing to make concessions."

   "That's because you're just talking nonsense!" Kai'Sa was also disdainful.

   "Including the temptation to us!" Qina seemed displeased.

   "I know, but there is something to gain, sometimes for a certain purpose," Thales sighed, "We have to take some risks and make concessions on certain interests."

   "Such as the ownership of the Emerald City?"

   "Such as the annoying unspoken rules of the capital?"

  Thales raised his eyebrows and looked at the two sisters intriguingly.

"what?"

   "Why are you looking at us like this!"

   "Hey! We're serious girls!"

   "If you use force, we will not obey!"

"unless…"

   "No unless!"

  Thales coughed and interrupted them:

   "I used to think that the Karabyan family was always defensive because they didn't want to take risks."

   His eyes moved:

   "But now I understand that the cause and effect are just the opposite: you are used to passive defense, so you don't want to take risks."

  The two sisters were taken aback for a moment.

  Kasha sneered and asked rhetorically:

   "That sounds nice, so why don't you take the initiative to give in? Let go of the Emerald City?"

  Qina nodded bitterly:

   "Do you have to force those of us who are weak to make concessions? Give you the Emerald City?"

  Thales sighed long.

"Believe me, I have fallen from an idle duke lying in the castle, walking cats, walking dogs, eating and waiting to die, to what I am now: a king with heavy responsibilities on his head, a huge debt of millions, ineffective arrest of murderers, poor governance, and the power of the emperor. Not strict, managed the Emerald City into a mess, and was humiliated by a little girl, disgraced, and ridiculed by the whole city..."

  He fell on the back of the chair, his eyes were blank:

   "I've given in and backed off enough."

  Qina snorted and laughed: "With all due respect, you are at the end of your game now, you have fallen to the bottom, and there is no room for you to make concessions..."

   But at this moment, she was held down!

   "Sister!" Qina turned her head in surprise.

  I saw Kai'Sa staring at Thales who was wandering in the sky:

   "Your Highness, you say that you are disgraced and ridiculed?"

"uh-huh."

   "And you've backed off enough?"

"uh-huh."

  KaSa was silent for a while, contemplating for a long time.

   "I have to say, Your Highness, although your proposal just now is interesting, it is just empty talk."

  Qina nodded:

   "Not enough to believe, let alone trade."

  Thales let out a long breath and pulled himself together:

   "Well, I know I'm just a kid now, and I don't have any bargaining chips to tempt you in exchange..."

  Qina narrowed her eyes and looked Thales up and down:

   "That's not necessarily..."

  Kasha dragged her sister back, frowned and shook her head, and said softly:

   "No, he's underage..."

  But Thales didn't pay attention to their whispers.

   "But I believe in at least a little bit."

  Thales sat upright and said seriously:

   "Whether it's a shark or a giant crocodile, if the result is unchangeable, you'd rather be on the winner's side, right?"

  Kasha's eyes moved:

"What's the meaning?"

  Thales calculated the chips in his hand, gritted his teeth and said:

   "If I win this game...at least 80%, no, 70%, maybe 60%...you can stand in line, right?"

  Qina snorted softly:

   "Without our help, are you sure you can win? Keep the Emerald City?"

  Thales smiled.

   "I'm not sure, but you guys are more stubborn than Cohen, and you won't let go," he said angrily, "Do I have any other options?"

  Kasha looked at him thoughtfully for a while.

   "Your Highness," she said suddenly, "You really don't think about getting engaged in the near future?"

  Thales was surprised.

  Qina was also slightly taken aback, but she reacted very quickly, cooperating with her sister: "If you think about it, our sisters are very..."

   "Thank you for your attention," Thales sneered and waved his hands, "but I don't want to die young yet."

  Kasha smiled slightly:

   "Actually, if your husband is you, you don't have to die early!"

   "Really?" Thales looked suspicious.

  Qina nodded with crystal eyes:

   "Yes, yes, it's okay to be paralyzed and demented, we will hire the best servants to take care of you..."

   "No need."

  Thales waved his small hand and resolutely refused.

  KaSa narrowed her eyes:

   "Oh, what a pity."

"Yeah yeah."

  But in the next second, Kasha Karabyan changed the topic:

   "But for the sake of your heartfelt words today, Your Highness, we can give some hints."

  Qina turned around in surprise:

   "Sister?"

  But she was held down by her sister and whispered a few words in her ear, and immediately looked surprised.

  Thales' eyes moved:

"oh?"

   "Whether it's the market, law and order, public opinion, or prices," Kaisha pressed Qina, and said in a deep voice, "We have managed these methods to drag Emerald City into the water and force you to let it go. In fact, it's just a trivial matter."

  Qina was dubious, and said:

   "It may be unsightly, but it is actually difficult to shake the overall situation."

   "If you want to save Emerald City from the dead..."

   "We must go straight to the root of the situation."

  Thales' eyes moved:

   "At all?"

  Kasha nodded with a deep expression.

   "You are right, even if we cooperate with Kevin Dill, he only let us be responsible for the most leftover work."

  Qina said bitterly:

   "It's also called 'each has its own strengths'."

   "The core, most important, and most capable bargaining chips in the Emerald City that can force you to submit are all in the hands of Duke Jann himself."

   "Let no one get their hands on it."

  Thales frowned:

   "You mean..."

   "Debt." Kai'Sa said coldly.

   "Huge debt!" Qina nodded fiercely.

   "Nearly 1.3 million Tormund gold coins in a short period of time."

   "Long-term debt of about 12.9 million."

   “Debts that can overwhelm the finances.”

   "Let the Emerald City go bankrupt and the South Shore collar collapse in debt."

  Thales just felt dizzy for a while.

   "Long term...1290...13 million?"

  What are you doing?

so much?

   Hold on, hold on, Thales, cheer up...

  He took a few deep breaths.

   "You guys, how do you know so clearly?"

  Sister Karabyan smiled mysteriously:

   "We guessed."

Hold!

  Thales tried to calm down his breathing, regained his sanity, and said in shock:

   "More than ten million... How did he borrow so much money? Who did he borrow it from?"

  The two shook their heads in unison:

"we do not know."

  KaSa immediately said coldly:

   "But the money matter is not settled."

   "You can never imagine without the cooperation of Zhan En..."

   "Save the Emerald City."

   "Without money, let alone the Canxing royal family, even the goddess of the setting sun cannot save you."

  Thales came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked:

   "Can't you help me with this matter? Karabyan's family also has a little money, right, for example, put it on..."

   But Kaisha raised a finger and put it on her lips with a smile:

   "Get it done, Your Highness."

  Qina followed suit and blinked:

   "Otherwise it's useless for us to help you."

   "We've revealed enough today."

   "It's up to you next, whether it's a shark or a giant crocodile."

   After the voice fell, the twins got up together and saluted and said goodbye.

"etc!"

  Thales was taken aback, and got up quickly.

   "If I settle this, um, debt, then you guys just..."

  The next second, Kaisha and Qina both smiled.

  They turned around together, and took out two brand new bright silver folding fans from nowhere, with the nine-pointed star logo shining on them.

Snapped!

  Folding fan opens in the air:

  【His Royal Highness, rest assured, Kasachina will always be with you】

  【The day when the young man became king, when the sisters promised each other with their bodies】

Forehead…

All right.

  Thales showed a helpless and relieved look.

  I saw that two folding fans intersected, and formed another sentence at the junction:

  【Myojin Genesis, in exchange for you! 】

  The two sisters stopped in an exaggerated flying dance and winked at Thales.

"Thanks…"

  Thales smiled awkwardly and waved his hands:

"thank you…"

   "By the way, if there is such a day," Kai'Sa's eyes were burning and aggressive, "I will be the prime minister of the kingdom."

  Thales' eyelids twitched.

   "And me! It's us, we, the prime ministers!" Qina added forcefully.

  Thales was silent for a while.

   "I want the biggest seat as soon as I come up, you really have it," he smiled helplessly, "but as I said, before I am crowned, there is no guarantee or promise..."

  KaSa's eyes turned cold:

   "Yeah, you can't promise?"

  Qina clicked her tongue and said:

   "Then I can only fight for myself, sister."

   "Yeah, try to see that day..."

   "Let you beg us to be your prime minister."

  Thales' eyelids twitched:

   "What if I don't ask?"

  Kasha and Qina looked at each other and smiled.

   "Then I can only fight for myself, sister."

   "Strive to see another day..."

  Thales couldn't help frowning:

   "What day?"

  The girls looked at Thales, smiling like flowers:

   "Of course you begged us..."

   "The day I let you regain the throne!"

  Thales shivered slightly, holding back the chills from his back.

   "Why...retake the throne?"

   What responded to him was the ever brighter but disturbingly weird smiles of the demon twins. (end of this chapter)
