This henpecked guy, who had just been kneeling before the old king, begging with tears and snot, now stood firmly behind the third prince.
A favor? Don't be ridiculous.
The old king wanted to kill Joe Valentine. In this case, how could Joe Valentine care about his kindness? The king's power was ruthless. Under the king's power, how many of the ministers would be loyal and righteous?
They are just struggling in the vortex of power and constantly changing their positions for their own interests.
In other parts of the royal capital, intensive stabbing sounds were heard. Several assassins dressed in black and holding daggers were stabbing a middle-aged man wildly. The middle-aged man's body was twitching, and his expensive clothes were covered in blood.
The fourth princess walked out of the darkness holding a black feather folding fan. She opened the small fan and covered her mouth and nose with it.
"Anyone who goes against Martir must die, because he has the support of so many people."
The fourth princess snorted coldly. Although she was unwilling, she recognized the situation and so she survived.
Similar things were happening in many places in the capital.
However, the army that was besieging the Seventh Prince discovered that the Seventh Prince was missing, which made the soldiers under the Third Prince panic.
If the Seventh Prince really reacted and successfully summoned a large number of holy warriors to enter the royal city, then all the previous efforts of the Third Prince would be wasted, and he could finally take a break.
As for whether the seventh prince can govern the country, that is not the point at all.
There is no shortage of financial and political talent in the Kingdom of Saint Sodin. Years of war have already allowed the kingdom to form a self-consistent political system.
In this system, everyone is just a small screw, playing a specific role to keep the kingdom running.
Even if the Seventh Prince is not good at governing the country, there are many professionals who can fill this vacancy and ensure that all affairs of the kingdom proceed smoothly.
The old king is good at political means. With his superb political strategies and intrigues, he can firmly suppress the people under his command.
The only problem is that he needs a position like the Iron Hand to assist him in order to ensure the stability of his power.
The Iron Hand is like a sharp blade in the old king's hand, able to clear obstacles for him at critical moments and maintain his ruling order.
If the seventh prince came to power, the situation would be very different.
He does not need a position like the Iron Hand; instead, he needs to set up a cabinet to help him advise on state affairs.
The Seventh Prince possesses extremely strong fighting power, which directly eliminates the possibility of assassination by the Undead.
In addition, the holy warriors will be more loyal to the empire.
Therefore, no matter who comes to the throne, the seventh prince or the third prince, there will be pros and cons.
The third prince has the potential to be a tyrant. He is iron-blooded, ruthless, decisive and meticulous. He may have more advantages in political struggles.
Although the Seventh Prince is unruly and unruly, he is extremely powerful and can bring a strong sense of security to the kingdom.
In the meeting hall of the royal palace, the third prince stepped up the stone stairs step by step, getting closer and closer to the throne.
"It seems that among all my children, you are more similar to me." The old king sat on the throne, looking at the third prince with a smile.
The third prince paused abruptly, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He felt that there was something wrong with the old lion, something very wrong.
"It took you five years to infiltrate the Royal Guards. That was too slow. It only took me two years." The old king's words were calm and indifferent, but they hit the third prince's heart like a hammer.
"Huh~?" Upon hearing the old king's words, the usually domineering third prince was obviously stunned, his face full of disbelief.
He never imagined that the old king knew his every move.
"Your eldest brother is a good person, but he is indeed narrow-minded. Just kill him. As for your fourth sister, she may be of help to you, but don't forget one thing, she is not the kind of person who is willing to admit defeat. And your seventh brother, being awarded the Wings of the Kingdom is just seeking death. In fact, I have wanted to get rid of him for a long time." The old king narrated calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The third prince could no longer remain calm. He subconsciously took a step back, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
At this moment, he felt the old king's horror firsthand.
If he were to fight for power with this old lion, he might not even know how he would die, and he would definitely be played to the point of doubting his life.
After hearing the old king's words, the seventh prince above also sighed deeply.
To be honest, he didn't want the Kingdom Wings either, but the problem was that the situation was beyond his control.
Just like wearing a yellow robe, sometimes things are beyond the control of one's own will.
If the Seventh Prince is not granted this title, the holy warriors of the entire kingdom will become alienated from him.
The holy warriors are the basic support of the seven princes, so he will naturally not do anything to destroy his own foundation.
"I'm relieved that you didn't move the troops on the front line. As for what kind of deal you reached with the Iron Hand, I'm not very interested, but don't forget that if he is unhappy, you may lose your head." The old king looked indifferent and waved his hand gently, motioning the third prince to continue forward.
The third prince stood there as if petrified, not moving at all.
The third prince, who was originally domineering and majestic, was completely defeated by the old king's simple words, as if all his energy was drained away in an instant.
“Iron Hand, I see through them, but I can’t see through you. Although I don’t know what your purpose is, as long as it is not the kingship, it’s fine.
No matter what your purpose is, you first helped me get rid of the unstable factors, and then solved the undead assassination incident. During the struggle for power, you helped me do many things, some glorious, some shameful. Since you want to go under the throne, then go ahead, it is a place where there is no return. "
The old king looked at Joe Valentine, and Joe Valentine subconsciously shrank his neck. The old king now looked like an old lion with a vicious beast standing beside him.
God knows whether the old lion has reached any deal with the evil beast. Joe Valentine is at best a watchdog. He would not dare to provoke even a dying lion.
As if there was some kind of mysterious feeling, the old king curled up in the chair and couldn't help but raise his head and look straight at the ceiling.
And at this moment, the old king's eyes met Lin Yi's, and their eyes met.
Beside Lin Yi, the Seventh Prince scratched his head a little embarrassedly, looking like a child who was caught doing something wrong.
When the old king saw this scene, his already relieved heart was filled with even more joy, and he laughed heartily in the kingdom's council hall.
The old king's laughter echoed in the meeting hall. The third prince, Su Xiao and Joe Valentine couldn't help but take a step back.
The weapons in the hands of the surrounding guards could not help but tremble, as if the person they were surrounding was not a corrupt old man, but an undead lord emitting a terrifying aura.
After a while, the old king finally stopped laughing.
"Bring me a pen." Although the old king's voice sounded a little old, it still carried unquestionable majesty.
Joe Valentine hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to disobey. He took paper and pen from the side hall and presented them respectfully to the old king.
The old king held a piece of parchment and wrote a few lines on it.
After finishing writing, the old king held the parchment tightly and slowly turned his eyes to Su Xiao.
"Iron Hand, are you sure you want to come under the throne?"
"of course."
"Okay, the rest is up to you." The old king nodded slightly, seeming satisfied with Su Xiao's answer.
Just when everyone thought that things would develop according to a certain predetermined trajectory, Su Xiao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the old king's neck.
"Iron Hand, what are you doing!" Seeing Su Xiao pinching the old king's neck, the third prince roared in anger and was horrified.
His face was full of shock. He had never expected Su Xiao to do such a bold thing.
Su Xiao and the old king looked at the third prince at the same time, which made the third prince's cheeks twitch and a strong fear surged in his heart.
The third prince has already understood that these two people are much more terrifying than other contenders for the throne.
One seems to see through everything and is unfathomable; the other is cold-blooded and ruthless, with no one he dares not kill.
“It seems that your heir is not ruthless enough.” Lidya Su’s voice was cold, as if he was evaluating an insignificant item.
"The throne will make him more ruthless and more swift. Killing is what you are best at." There was no fear on the old king's face, but instead a strange calmness.
"no problem."
With a crisp "click" sound, Su Xiao strangled the old king's neck as the third prince stared in amazement.
It’s not that the third prince didn’t want to kill the old king, but he didn’t dare to do so. This old lion was too scary.
He knew very well the old king's methods and schemes, and knew that if he took action himself, he would be doomed.
At this moment, the sound of tiles breaking suddenly came from above everyone's head. The next second, two figures fell from the sky and landed among the crowd.
"Seventh brother?" After seeing this scene, the third prince, who was still immersed in the news of the old king's death, his pupils shrank slightly and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
You know, this time in order to deal with the old king, he only brought with him a hundred guards.
To the Seventh Prince, two hundred people were not a threat at all.
"Oh, my dear third brother, I didn't expect that I would be the one to compete with you in the end." The seventh prince showed a slightly teasing smile on his face, and a long sword with wings appeared out of thin air in his hand.
This long sword was a treasure bestowed upon the Seventh Prince by the old king when he was conferred the title of Wing of the Kingdom.
The Seventh Prince always carried the sword with him and rarely used it to kill people.
It was not until today, at this critical moment, that he finally drew the sword.
Because the two of them shattered the ceiling, the bright moonlight sprinkled on them like water.
A soft moonlight was reflected by the sword in the seventh prince's hand and instantly illuminated the third prince's eyes.
The third prince couldn't help but take a step back, a look of horror on his face.
Although the third prince holds military power and his own martial arts are not weak, he is far inferior to the seventh prince, a powerful holy warrior.
The Seventh Prince's fighting power is comparable to that of the Undead Lord, the ceiling of combat power in this world.

Apart from anything else, the Lv.11 sword master alone is enough to fully prove the strength of the Seventh Prince.
Upon seeing this, the third prince hurriedly ordered the surrounding guards to surround and kill them.
But unfortunately, the Seventh Prince grew up under the strict training of the Royal Guards, and no one knows the weaknesses of the Royal Guards better than him.
The Seventh Prince used his sword to cut a bloody path and came to the Third Prince. (End of this chapter)

622.
The third prince always believed that he had mastered the ability to remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis.
In the past, he often took pride in this, thinking that he was calm and composed enough in many aspects.
At this moment, when he faced the situation in front of him, he was shocked to realize how huge the gap was between himself and the old lion.
The third prince just watched the seventh prince slowly approaching, and he felt his legs go weak, as if he had lost all his strength.
If there hadn't been someone supporting him tightly, he would have collapsed to the ground, looking miserable.
