Chapter 249 Goodbye Leila! (Subscribe Please!)

"No, buddy..."

Looking at this low and dilapidated wooden house, Shane almost blurted out a complaint.

But he changed his mind and realized that Edward's situation in the Kingdom of Turin might not be that good.

The previous assassination was only one aspect.

More importantly, as a prince, Edward's personal guard was only a fifth-level George.

This was enough to show the embarrassment of his situation.

I think renting this small wooden house in the [Giant Wood City] has already brought a lot of burden to Edward.

Realizing this, Shane immediately adjusted his mood and said generously.

"I think this place is not bad, Yanyan, let's go."

Edward was embarrassed and guilty because of the shabby residence.

But seeing Shane's indifferent attitude, he naturally knew that he was saving face for himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

In fact, Edward's situation was worse than Shane expected.

Although he was the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin, he was also the least valued prince.

The reason was very simple.

Edward was not the child of the queen or princess of the Kingdom of Turin, but the son of an ordinary village woman.

In other words, he was actually the illegitimate son of the king.

In the Kingdom of Turin, which adheres to the spirit of chivalry, illegitimate children are dishonorable to the entire family and will bring chaos and stains to the entire family.

If the King of Turin did not recognize Edward as his son and only cared for him secretly, it would be fine.

Edward might have grown up peacefully and become a farmer and a rich man in the end, spending his old age in secret.

But maybe it was because of the so-called love, or maybe it was a momentary impulse.

The King of Turin chose the worst way -

He took Edward back to the palace with great fanfare, gave him the surname "Phoenix", and officially made him the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin.

Such absurd behavior naturally caused an uproar in the Kingdom of Turin.

But the king went his own way and suppressed all opposition.

No matter how angry the people of the Kingdom of Turin were, they did not dare to openly resist the king.

So, their spearheads were directed at the innocent Edward.

A lowly illegitimate child became the prince of the kingdom and obtained the right of inheritance, which of course would cause dissatisfaction among many people.

This is the fundamental reason for Edward's miserable situation.

He came to the [Giant Wood City] to attend the International Conference this time, and he might have thought of avoiding the raging public opinion in the country.

But Edward didn't expect...

He wanted to avoid trouble, but trouble always came to him.

Just like this moment.

Edward was about to lead Shane into the wooden house to rest, but a less friendly voice came from behind.

"Isn't this our fifth prince, His Royal Highness Edward?"

The person who spoke was a young fat man, also wearing gorgeous clothes, with chubby cheeks, and seemed to be a few years younger than Edward.

At first glance, he was a pampered aristocrat.

George recognized his identity, frowned slightly, and whispered to Shane and the others: "This is the youngest son of the Prime Minister, Ximei."

"He doesn't get along with His Royal Highness Edward in the kingdom."

Ximei glanced at the low wooden house behind Edward and couldn't help but sneered.

"Humph, you are indeed the child of a prostitute."

"The style of this house really complements you!"

People in the Kingdom of Turin always speculate and comment on Edward's mother with the greatest malice.

This also caused her to be unable to bear such pressure and finally chose to commit suicide.

In Edward's mind, his mother has always been his biggest reverse scale!

Hearing this, Edward immediately frowned, with dark anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My mother is not a prostitute!"

"Ximei, I think you insulted the honor of the royal family."

"You must apologize to me!"

Ximei was stunned for a moment, and felt a little panicked.

He didn't expect Edward to have such a big reaction, and act so tough.

On weekdays, Edward usually just silently endured this kind of sarcasm, which made Ximei mistakenly think that he was very weak and timid.

So, Edward's sudden counterattack now exceeded Ximei's expectations.

But in the public eye, Ximei certainly didn't want to apologize so easily, and said stubbornly.

"I'm just stating the facts. Should I be punished for telling the truth?"

"Oh?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Edward's eyes, and he asked, "In other words, do you think that the current King of Turin, my father, would be a man who had a child with a prostitute?"

Hearing this question, Ximei was shocked and his face turned pale.

He finally realized that he had made a serious mistake.

It is of course okay to belittle and ridicule Edward and his mother.

After all, the identity of an illegitimate child is bound to bring contempt and criticism.

But if the King of Turin is involved, the problem will be serious!

After all, he is the king of a country. Do you dare to say bad things about him in public? Do you still want to mix in the kingdom in the future?

On the side, Shane also noticed the subtlety of Edward's words and couldn't help but look up to him.

Although this fifth prince looks weak, he is obviously resourceful and scheming.

There is also a possibility that this weak and deceptive appearance is just a disguise of his!

"Sure enough, no one who can become a prince is a simple person."

Xia En sighed in his heart.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

He traveled back to this era not to help any prince win the throne, and he was not very interested in the love and hatred within the Kingdom of Turin.

After all.

If it is true as Shane guessed, the flood is only about ten years away from this era.

The so-called princes and kings will only become a wave in the flood.

At this time, the dispute between Edward and Ximei attracted the attention of other passers-by on the street.

The group of [Black Flame Walker] who were about to enter the gate also cast their eyes in this direction.

"Huh?"

One of the petite black-robed people looked at Shane and the other two who were also wearing long robes, and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

"Irina, what's wrong?"

Beside her, Sergei, who was as strong as a brown bear, asked in a muffled voice.

As residents of the Far North, their language pronunciation is somewhat different from the common language of the continent.

Irina stared at Yan Yan in the crowd and whispered.

"Do you think that black-robed man looks a bit like the king?"

Sergei glanced in that direction and couldn't help laughing: "He's wearing a long robe, how can you tell that he looks like the king?"

Irina defended: "It's the body shape! Body shape!"

Sergei still didn't take it seriously and said carelessly: "There are so many people with similar body shapes in the world."

"Besides, the king is still fighting bloody battles in the north, how could he come to participate in such a boring conference?"

[Black Flame Walker] is the elite of the Great Flame Kingdom, accustomed to the life of an ascetic monk, and is a natural battle maniac.

For the exquisite and comfortable atmosphere of the elves, it is inevitable to despise them in the heart.

"That's true..."

Irina had to admit that Sergei made sense.

But she always felt that the black-robed man not only had a body shape similar to the king, but also had a very unique and familiar temperament.

At this time in the field.

Edward insisted that Ximei apologize.

But Ximei was reluctant to bow her head because of her face, and did not admit that she had any disrespect for the king.

For a moment, the two sides were deadlocked.

Suddenly, a young man in extraordinary clothes spoke.

"Edward, let's stop here."

Seeing this young man, the crowd was in a small uproar.

"It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince Carlo!"

"I didn't expect him to come to the International Conference!"

"In fact, I heard that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the core figure of the delegation and can make decisions on behalf of the king. The rest of the people are just incidental."

Unlike Edward, who was notorious and in an awkward situation, the Second Prince Carlo received a lot of attention as soon as he appeared.

This Second Prince is a strong contender for the throne and has made considerable contributions several times.

His reputation has been very high.

At this moment, hearing Carlo's advice, Edward's face suddenly became a little ugly.

But he still gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay to stop here, Ximei must apologize first!"

With Carlo's support, Ximei's eyes immediately lit up and said with full confidence.

"I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

"...You!"

Just as Edward was about to speak, another girl of the same age in the crowd rebuked him coldly.

"Enough, Edward, how long are you going to let outsiders watch this farce?"

This woman's identity is also extraordinary. She is the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Turin and has always been on good terms with the Prime Minister's family.

Speaking out at this time, it is obvious that she is blatantly biased towards Ximei.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the second prince and the fourth princess working together to put pressure on Edward.

The meaning of rejection and disgust is extremely obvious.

There is no way, who made him an illegitimate child?

Edward clenched his fists, his face full of humiliation.

He had long known that his brothers and sisters didn't like him, but at the moment, the situation of the two helping outsiders to speak still made him feel chilled.

Seeing the situation reversed, Ximei became more arrogant.

And Shane and the other two, who were wearing black robes and looked particularly suspicious, soon became his targets of attack.

"Your Highness Edward, why do you hang out with these sneaky and suspicious people all day long?"

"What if there are assassins among them?"

Ximei said sarcastically: "Oh, I know."

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"Your Highness is the son of a prostitute, so naturally he likes to hang out with these low-class people."

Xia En frowned slightly.

He was too lazy to care about such trivial matters, but now that the other party was pointing at his nose and scolding him, he naturally couldn't stay out of it.

When Xia En was about to teach this little fat man a lesson, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd not far away.

"What's going on?"

The second prince Carlo looked back.

Soon, an enthusiastic crowd responded: "It's the Queen's car!"

"The Queen is here!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.

Since they came to [Giant Wood City] for so long, they have heard many stories about this Queen candidate from the elves.

But it was the first time they saw the other party in person!

——Although that person has not officially ascended the throne, people have already gotten used to calling her "Her Majesty".

This also shows the prestige of this elf.

Carlo, who had always maintained a calm and composed demeanor before, could not help but look solemn, straightened his clothes, and looked solemnly in the direction of the voice.

Want to leave a good impression on the Elf Queen.

Although the Kingdom of Turin is also a well-known powerful country on the continent.

But in this era, the most powerful is still the Elf Kingdom that masters advanced technology and magic!

Naturally, the Elf Queen is also one of the most powerful people in the world.

The fourth princess who made things difficult for Edward looked over with expectation and admiration.

As a woman, the Elf Queen is like a role model for her.

In a blink of an eye.

People's attention was completely attracted by the Elf Queen, and Edward and Ximei, who were in the spotlight before, became ignored.

Edward sighed, with a complicated expression, envious and sad.

Like everyone else, Shane also looked in the direction where the Queen's seat was driving.

Soon.

A steam locomotive with steam, pipes, levers and gears, slowly drove into everyone's sight.

Shane's expression couldn't help but be a little strange.

Although it was a steam locomotive, the shape was still very similar to the previous carriages, with closed carriages and windows on both sides.

The exterior of the vehicle has a lot of exquisite and gorgeous decorations, and there are several elf attendants following on both sides of the locomotive.

It looks like a mix of styles.

But the scene is still very luxurious.

Some people were a little disappointed that they couldn't see the Elf Queen.

But at this moment.

A gentle voice came from the carriage.

"What happened here?"

Apparently, the dispute that happened here before was the reason why the Queen approached.

Ximei explained in a panic: "It's just a little dispute."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it."

He is also a smart man. He knows that if the matter gets out of hand, it will not be good for himself or the Kingdom of Turin.

Moreover, in front of the Elf Queen, even the second prince and the fourth princess can't protect themselves.

"Really? Why did I hear someone call our guests from [Giant Wood City] low-class people?"

As he said, the people in the car gently opened the curtains and looked out.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the window nervously, fearing that they would miss the true face of the Elf Queen.

After the curtains were drawn, people were stunned.

The person in the car had breathtaking beauty, and her facial features were like the most perfect creation of heaven.

She was so beautiful, with platinum waist-length hair naturally scattered, shining in the light, reminiscent of the cold moonlight at night.

Even if only half of her face was exposed, countless people were fascinated.

This is the queen of the elves!

With such extreme beauty, it is no wonder that she rarely appears in the city.

Many people thought that the trip was worthwhile at this moment.

But soon, people were surprised to find that the queen's eyes stopped in one direction for a long time.

And, gradually...

A hazy mist accumulated in her eyes, like a pearl covered with dust.

People couldn't help but feel pity.

Who on earth could hurt such a woman?

But in the next moment.

The queen suddenly smiled, a smile of surprise, pure and more beautiful than a thousand flowers in full bloom.

The impact of the feeling of pain and surprise made people lose the ability to speak for a moment.

Then, in the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it.

The queen opened the car door and ran in one direction like a girl.

She was determined and did not hesitate.

Finally, she hugged a figure in a black robe tightly and said softly.

"Long time no see."

Shane: "Long time no see, Leila."
