Men are inferior to women

Chapter 656. 655. The Cowardly Father-in-Law

According to the history that Aya learned, although King Uther is the eldest prince, his personality is not liked by the old king, and he is far less favored than his two younger brothers.

There are rumors that the old king is going to choose one of his two younger brothers to inherit the throne, and he does not intend to pass it to King Uther.

The rumor spread so well, and the old king didn't deny it, so that the city was full of trouble.

Later, the old king died in a hurry without leaving a will. According to the rules, King Uther should inherit the throne.

However, the other two princes did not obey the rules, and secretly linked up with some court mages and nobles, promised to make great profits, and staged a coup d'état one night.

King Uther was almost killed when he couldn't defend himself. At the critical moment, the macho Merlin Mage defeated King Uther's two younger brothers and helped him ascend the throne.

For the sake of the royal family's reputation, the history of this coup d'etat is rarely circulated, and it is only recorded in the court.

Aya didn't know about it until she became king.

It seems that things are very simple, just wait for the night of the coup to take action.

But the problem is that this history is not very detailed. There are a lot of vague details, and vagueness is prone to accidents.

So how to do it specifically depends on adapting to the situation and not copying history.

At this time, when rumors were raging, almost the entire capital was discussing this matter.

Fang Zhou and Aya quietly entered the city, concealed their bodies and came to the palace.

Ark covered the entire palace with his consciousness, and soon found his target.

In the central hall, the old king was receiving the eldest prince Adams Pender.

King Uther, who will be famous in the future, is just a young man who looks weak at this time.

The current King Uther is not called Uther, and after he is registered, he will change his name to Uther Pendragon for some reason that even historians do not know.

Aya looked at her father in youth, her eyes were slightly complicated, but she didn't have much emotion.

She had only met this father a few times before she was alive, and the two sides had never recognized each other.

King Uther didn't even know that his illegitimate daughter had become a soldier under his command.

At this time in the palace, the old king was looking at the eldest son: "Have you heard all the recent rumors in the capital?"

Adams trembled all over, thinking that the old king was going to have a showdown with him.

He bent down slowly, and said in a low voice: "I have heard about it. If this is His Majesty's will, then I have no objection."

The old king suddenly clenched the handle of the throne, and asked forcefully, "Don't you feel wronged, don't you feel angry?"

Adams heard the anger in the old king's tone, and immediately lowered his head: "I didn't."

"No? No or dare not?"

Adams didn't say a word, and seemed to choose to acquiesce.

The old king laughed angrily, picked up his scepter and threw it at Adams: "Go away, go back and think about it with your head, what should you do as the first heir and the eldest son."

Adams didn't dare to hide, let the scepter hit his body, then silently picked it up and put it aside, saluted the old king, turned and left, his back was full of loneliness.

The old king was lost in thought looking at the back of his eldest son, his aging face looked a little pale under the light.

Above the main hall, Fang Zhou and Aya looked at each other.

The situation seemed to be different from what was expected, and the old king's tone was obviously that he hated iron but not steel.

And why is King Uther so cowardly?
After inheriting the throne, King Uther was considered wise and powerful, and he also managed the country in an orderly manner.

Fang Zhou and Aya thought they would see a calm and capable prince, but they didn't expect to see a timid young man.

No wonder he had to be favored, no father would like his son to look cowardly.

"Is this the old man?"

Fang Zhou said to Aya: "Could it be that we have found the wrong person?"

Aya shook her head: "I'm not wrong, I've seen his portrait when he was young."

Since he found no mistake, why was the old man so cowardly when he was young? Could it be that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

Fang Zhou suspected that Uther King deliberately put on this appearance to show weakness and confuse the opponent.

His spiritual consciousness followed King Uther to leave the palace and returned to his bedroom. After retreating the servants, he hid in the bedroom and wept silently.

Nima, you are really cowardly, not pretending.

Seeing her father's cowardly appearance, Aya was also quite uncomfortable: "Maybe it was stimulated during the coup, so the personality changed... right?"

This reason is quite far-fetched, and we can only wait and see.

Below, the old king also recovered from his contemplation, and slowly left the palace and returned to his bedroom.

After dealing with official business for a while, the old king received a meeting request from the two little princes.

His face darkened slightly, and after thinking for a while, he still called the two little princes in.

Seeing the two younger sons, the old king had a smile on his face. He really liked the two lively and active sons, who were not as dull and silent as the eldest son.

After the father and son talked amusing gossip for a while, the second prince suddenly asked: "Father, there is a rumor circulating in the capital recently, have you heard of it?"

The old king was slightly taken aback. He had already guessed the purpose of the two younger sons running over to see him so late.

But when he really saw the two young sons uttering these provocative words, he still couldn't help but get angry.

But looking at the innocent faces of the two young sons, the old king couldn't help but soften his heart.

He didn't get angry, but said in a deep voice: "Just do your part, don't listen to some messy rumors."

"But……"

The third prince was about to refute, but was pulled back by the second prince.

The two princes sullenly bid farewell to the old king.

When they came to the corridor outside the bedroom, the two couldn't wait to talk.

"Father, what does this mean? Do you want to deny it?"

"No, father should tell us to wait patiently, ignore the rumors outside, and announce when the time comes."

"That's right, the father likes us so much, he will definitely pass on the throne to me."

"You think beautifully, I am older than you, it should be me."

"I'm more popular than you..."

Hearing the faint conversation of the two young sons coming from outside the bedroom, the old king couldn't help but let out a sigh.

At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded in the bedroom.

"Are you sure your method is effective?"

The old king looked up, and a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly appeared in the corner.

Goss Morgan, the chief court mage, is responsible for the safety of the old king.

The old king didn't say a word, and Morgan continued: "Using rumors to force the eldest son to fight, I don't think it's a good idea."

On the roof, Fang Zhou and Aya looked at each other.

The rumors circulating in the royal capital were actually released by the old king in order to force King Uther to fight?
Judging from King Uther's performance today, the old king had to be disappointed.
