Chapter 20
Apse of the Palace of Ozm.

"Crash!" A valuable rosewood table in the living room was instantly burned to ashes, and the exquisite porcelain placed on it shattered.

Scotton frowned, looking helplessly at his younger sister who was still in a rage.

After returning here for half an hour, Capricorn Tong crazily smashed and smashed without stopping.

There are only two brothers and sisters in the spacious and luxurious room, and the attendants have all stayed away.Getting too close when the queen is angry is courting death.

"Do you think I really dare not kill you?" Mo Jietong suddenly turned around, stared at his brother, and said sharply.

Scotton closed his eyes, feeling very upset. How could his younger sister become like this?
In his impression, although Capricorn pupil can be a bit self-willed and occasionally play a little temper, she definitely shouldn't become the shrew she is now.

Seeing Scotton's expression, Capricorn pupil became even more angry.

"Hmph! Do you think I've changed? Do you look like a lunatic? Let me tell you, you caused all of this! I'm going to kill you!"

She yelled and stretched out her hands, a dazzling ring of fire suddenly appeared amidst the strong energy fluctuations.

The air was on fire all of a sudden, and the decorations and furniture in the hall exuded a faint smell of burnt.

Scotton's expression turned completely cold, he didn't open his eyes, and he didn't make any resistance.

Time seemed to stand still, only the crackling sound of the fire ring burning.

"Okay! I really can't kill you! It's not that I can't, but I can't bear it!" Capricorn Tong's tone suddenly softened, and the fire ring disappeared.

She sat down on the sofa weakly, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she began to sob.

Scotton was made even more helpless by his sister's 180-degree U-turn.

"Alas!" He sighed, took out a square scarf from his pocket, and handed it out with shaking hands.

The handkerchief seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and it slowly fell into Capricorn Tong's hands accurately.

"This is my birthday present to you! Do you still have it?!" The pear-blossoming and rainy queen stopped crying immediately, looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and asked in a low voice.

This square scarf was a gift made by Capricorn pupil when he was in Scotton.

For a little girl who has always been "clothes, hands, food, mouth", making this gift is not easy.

For this reason, she even put aside her uninterrupted Zhushu practice to learn weaving and embroidery.

There is no pattern on the scarf, only a flame symbol is embroidered.

If you look at it backwards, it is a sincere red heart.

"Brother! Tell me, what happened five years ago. Why did you leave suddenly? You didn't even attend the funeral of your father. Why didn't you contact me in the past five years? Now you want to start a civil war against me. Capricorn pupil held the handkerchief and said slowly.

"Please, tell me! Okay? I know you are still the big brother who loves and protects me! Just please tell me! Brother!" At this moment, the queen looked extremely lonely, depressed, sad and helpless.

"Okay! I'll tell you now. But, you have to be mentally prepared! These words may ruin the brother-sister relationship between you and me for more than [-] years." Scotton finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice. Said.

Capricorn pupil looked at his brother, and suddenly felt that the other party was a little strange.

"Tell me! You will know sooner or later what you should know!" She said with complicated emotions.

"Your mother didn't die by accident. It was my queen mother, kill her!" Scotton's words shocked the sky.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Capricorn pupil turned pale.

"You heard me right! This is the truth! My mother was the murderer who killed your mother." Scotton's heart began to ache like it was splitting.

However, once the words have been spoken, they must be finished.

"It's not out of jealousy, but your mother was identified as a spy sent by Ruhrs." Scotton's voice was trembling.

"This is impossible!!" Capricorn pupil roared.

She stood up suddenly, her eyes were bloodshot, and the energy in her body was surging, causing the roof of the hall to hum.

Mother, this title is both familiar and unfamiliar to Capricorn pupil.

Capricorn Tong was only three years old when his mother left.

She couldn't remember her mother's face clearly, she only knew that she was a beautiful woman with a cheerful personality, and she only remembered the always warm and safe embrace.

This is all she remembers of her biological mother.

And it was these pitifully few memories that accompanied her through countless sleepless nights.

These memories ended on a cold winter day.

That day, her biological mother died of a sudden illness without leaving a word.

That day, she was brought back to the bedroom by Scotton's mother, Suriel's queen.

There, the king of Suril told her that she would call the queen "mother" from now on!
queen?Bitch!
Capricorn pupil exhausted all his strength, desperately clutching an emerald pendant on his chest.

The tender palm was scratched by the metal inlaid with gemstones, and the blood flowed profusely, but she didn't even notice it.

This pendant is the only remaining relic of my mother.

This gem is as bright as mother's eyes.

Capricorn pupil burst into tears, but couldn't cry anymore.

How could he not take revenge for killing his mother?

However, who to report to? !

Scotton's heart was bleeding.

He woke up in a dream countless times, imagining in a cold sweat what kind of scene it would be when he told the truth to Capricorn Tong.

This is the scene now.

How familiar, how similar to the nightmare that accompanied his life for more than [-] years!
"I found out about this on an unexpected occasion when I was very young. I'm sorry, I've been keeping it from you! I don't know how to tell you!" Scotton said dreamily, closing his eyes slightly.

"Hahahahahaha!" Capricorn Tong stopped her tears, and suddenly let out a wild laugh, her charming face looked very ferocious at the moment.

She tried her best to restrain her manic emotions, and said coldly: "I'm sorry? I don't know what to say? I think you are speaking well now? It seems that your care and attention to me before was actually a failure. Yu guilt, atonement for your mother?!"

"Hehe!" Scotton had expected Capricorn pupil to have such thoughts, he laughed at himself and said, "When I found out about this, I was just a child under ten years old, and I really didn't know how to deal with it." ! As for how my elder brother treated you later, whether my caring heart was just out of guilt, you have your own judgment in your heart, and I have nothing to say!"

Hearing Scotton's words, Capricorn Tong's mood eased a little.

She snorted coldly, and then asked, "Who judged my mother to be a spy of Ruhrs? Your mother?"

Scotton's face was a little distorted at this time, as if he was in great pain.

A blue halo suddenly surged around him, and he slashed a wind blade with his hand, smashing a red copper statue in the middle of the hall to pieces.

Shards of metal flew and cut Scotton's arm, but he didn't care, and laughed loudly instead.

"In Su Lier back then, who could have determined that a noble concubine was a secret agent from another country, and who would have dared to order someone to kill, except your mighty father?!" Scotton pointed at the metal scattered on the ground. Fragments, screamed wildly.

The statue that he crushed was the head of the former King Sulier.

"Also, your father passed away five years ago, and my mother also died on the same day. Everyone said that the queen died for the king! Pooh! Since you gave birth to me, your father has never stepped into the My mother's bedroom. Such a couple is nothing short of a joke! How could she die for such a husband?!" At this moment, Scotton's emotions completely exploded, and he recklessly told all the secrets of the year.

"On the day your father died, he ordered me and my mother to wait in the side hall for summons, but what we waited for was two glasses of 'fine wine' given by him. It was my mother who noticed something was wrong and put all the two glasses of wine together. Drink it. That's really 'good wine'! See the good wine with blood on her throat! Not long after the old thief died, she also died of poison!" Scotton seemed to be in the horrible and gloomy place back then scene.

His voice trembled and his tone was bleak.

The title of Capricorn Tong's father has also been changed from "Your Father" to "Old Thief"!
"My mother told me the truth before she died. She said that killing your mother was at the behest of that old thief! Moreover, she told me to escape from Marse as soon as possible and return to my fief to be safe! Your old man It was to ask why I didn’t attend your father’s funeral, and why I left Marse so suddenly. Do you understand now? Why should I stay? Stay to bury the enemy who killed my mother? Step on your mother’s corpse to congratulate you as the new King?!" Scotton became more and more excited as he spoke, and the last few words were completely roared out.

"You're going too far!" Capricorn Tong raised his hand and slapped Scotton away.

She was in great shock, and her previous understanding of many things was completely overturned by her brother's words.

It was his father who ordered the killing of his mother.

And the one who carried out this order was actually the mother who loved her brother the most.

Will there be a more bizarre and ridiculous tragedy in the world?

At this moment, Capricorn pupil felt like a big stone was pressing on her heart.

She wanted to hate, but she didn't know who to hate.

She could understand her brother's venting of emotions, but she couldn't stand Scotton's reprimanding tone!
Because she is also a victim herself!

Capricorn Tong didn't use his focus with this palm, and Scotton didn't take any protection.

Scotton stood up slowly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He won't blame his sister for making a move, but he will never take back what he said.

He has been suppressed for too long, too long!
Scotton was once the prince of Suril Kingdom.

He is the eldest son of the old king, the only boy, and the natural heir to the throne.

However, I don't know why, since Scotton was a child, he has not been favored by the old king.

The old king ranged from scolding and cursing at him, to punching and kicking him more severely.

For Scotton, scars and bruises have been a common occurrence since childhood.

He even wondered for a while whether he was the old king's own flesh and blood.

Although Scotton's mother is a queen, she has a staid character and is obedient to her husband.

Therefore, whenever the old king punished Scotton, she would not do anything other than a few words of persuasion and secret tears.

In contrast, since Capricorn Tong's mother became a noble concubine, this beautiful woman with a strong personality, relying on the favor of the old king, has helped Scotton say a lot of good things.

Therefore, in Scotton's heart, he has always been grateful to Capricorn Tong's biological mother.

Because of this, he cared for his half-sister from the very beginning.

It is conceivable that when he learned the truth about Capricorn Tong's mother's death, the fear, despair, guilt and helplessness meant something to Scotton, who was less than ten years old.

Later, when more truths surfaced, Scotton also fell into a long-term torment, and he really couldn't face Capricorn pupil.

She is the younger sister that he regards as a treasure, but she is also the daughter of the enemy who killed her mother.

They are brothers and sisters who once depended on each other, but they are also rivals in the struggle for the throne.

Now, Scotton poured out all the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

The depression in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood began to calm down.

Now that the words have been spoken, there will be no more scruples.

Now that he has returned to Marse, he cannot let down the opportunity his mother bought with her life.

What's more, there was more than one truth his mother told him.

Scotton is back, and he is no longer the prince he used to be.

"Brother! I'm sorry! Does it hurt?" Capricorn pupil couldn't help asking, looking at Scotton, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, you don't know the severity of your strikes. I'm used to it." Scotton's face returned to stern, and there was a hint of mockery in his tone.

Capricorn pupil shuddered at the sound of "Her Majesty the Queen", her blood seemed to freeze.

"Brother! What do you mean?" she asked in a low voice.

"Let's face reality! You shouldn't call me 'Big Brother' anymore, it's time to call me 'Prince Scotton'!" Scotton's tone became colder.

Their eyes met, and they were silent for a long time.

"As you wish, Prince Scotton!" Capricorn pupil suddenly smiled charmingly, she turned around, and slowly walked towards her throne in the apse.

"Then please tell me! As Queen Suril, what reality should I face?" Capricorn pupil said, flicking his sleeves lightly, and sat firmly on his throne.

"Her Royal Highness, with all due respect. Sitting in that position does not mean having the ability to match it." Scotton said with a sneer.

Capricorn pupil has completely calmed down at this moment.

She didn't get angry when she heard the other party's allusive words, and smiled and motioned Scotton to continue talking.

"Let me give you two examples! First of all, the war you launched five years ago was extremely reckless. Many people under your command, including my brother Deng Pula, were against me for not sending troops to coordinate actions There are a lot of slanders, saying that I am sitting on the sidelines and taking the opportunity to expand my power. This kind of thinking is really stupid!" Scotton paused slightly, as if waiting for his sister to refute.

Seeing that the queen remained silent, he continued: "The way of war is related to the rise and fall of a country. How can you make decisions on the spur of the moment? When you sent troops, did you ever think that if it wasn't for me to guard the Eastern Territory, in case Rules Taking the opportunity to suddenly attack Su Lier, what kind of ending will it be?"

Scotton talked eloquently, as if he was a different person.

"What you said makes sense! However, the way of war also pays attention to timing. Looking forward and backward, hesitating, what great things can be achieved? If you want to figure out the emperor's mind and means, you must first be in this position. !" Capricorn pupil looked at his brother, with a trace of disdain hanging from the corner of his mouth.

She went on to say: "Besides, since you keep saying that there are only queens and princes, and no sisters and brothers, then, Deng Pra, there will be no brothers like you! You have to remember this clearly! Good! You Don't you want to give an example? What is it?"

Capricorn pupil was smiling, but his words were like steel needles, piercing his opponent mercilessly.

Scotton's eyelids twitched slightly.

It was the first time for him to experience his younger sister's edge as a queen!

"Very good! Her Majesty's insight is unique! Let me go on to another example, which is judging the situation." Scotton said, turning and looking out the window.

He looked at a group of migratory birds flying in the sky, his eyes became darker, and then he continued: "At present, the McCann family is dominant. Its allies also benefit from this, and the country is all powerful and prosperous. On the other hand, Su Lier, although the people's livelihood There is also improvement, but the development is too slow. As time goes on, it will inevitably fall behind other countries. The biggest gap between Suril and McCann is the difference between the monarchy and the republic. Therefore, it is only by following the public opinion, following the trend, and moving towards a republic. It is Su Lier's bright future. If you stand still and go against the trend for your own selfish desires, it will inevitably end in defeat!"

Scotton's words are full of confidence, showing his political ambitions more clearly.

"There is some truth in what the prince said. However, what is public opinion? What is the trend? It is not up to you or your allies to decide. If one day, my people start to oppose me, they are not willing to let me The queen is to rule and manage them. I will quit! But until that day, I will stick to my duty. Lead my people to find and seek our own way and happiness! I will stop all attempts to stop us People or forces, completely shattered!" Queen Capricorn's voice was still flat, but she showed an indomitable and uncompromising momentum.

Scotton heard the words, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Since that's the case, I think I already understand the Queen's choice. However, in order to save Su Lier from the flames of war and save lives from suffering, the Queen is still requested to consider our suggestion. We implore the Queen to abdicate, or to retain the monarchy in name only, and make the country a de facto republic."

Seeing his younger sister's face turned cold, Scotton sighed in his heart, decided to make the next best thing, and said another choice: "If the Queen cannot accept this suggestion, we can also take a step back, hoping that the Eastern Region of Suriel can achieve autonomy. Three years later, through popular elections, the direction of the entire country will be determined!"

"Hahaha!" Capricorn pupil laughed and said, "Prince Scotton, do you know? The 'old thief' you hate once told me that the last thing you can sign is the alliance under the city. This is you Did you make a proposition with your allies? What about "save life from being ruined", if you really want to, will you directly pull up the army to fight against the government? What about "self-government", just say that Sulier will be divided into Wouldn't the two countries be more accessible?"

Seeing Scotton's sudden change of color, Capricorn pupil suddenly changed his tone, and said leisurely: "Actually? You also know that I have never been interested in power! I only like to study 'easy-to-use' men and powerful injection techniques So, if you want to sit on the throne so much, Prince, you might as well just say so! Maybe when I’m in a good mood, I might really give up the throne to you!”

At the end of her speech, there was a hint of seductive coquettishness on her charming face.

Scotton was in a state of confusion, thinking that his sister had been normal for a while, but why did she start to be incomprehensible again?
Especially words like "easy to use" should never come from Capricorn pupils who have always been extremely self-disciplined in terms of men and women!
Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Capricorn pupil giggled foolishly.

Then, she turned her face straight and said, "I'm in a bad mood now! So, you don't have to think about giving up!"

Scotton felt he was being teased.

His face was gloomy, and without saying goodbye, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate.

Looking at the back of his brother leaving, Capricorn Tong's expression became sad.

"Brother! You are so stupid!" She said to herself, but felt a pain in her heart, and a small mouthful of blood foamed out of the corner of her mouth.

Amid the strong energy fluctuations, Queen Su Lier jumped up and rushed towards the palace where the master and his party were.

 Capricorn pupils: They kill each other because they love each other!

  Fatty: Bullshit!You can vote because you have votes!
