Chapter 574 Grand Duke Solan: How do you feel about my daughter?
"Your Highness Luce, your sincerity touches me."
"But, I want to hear your plan first."
"How do you plan to take revenge?"
In the elegant reception hall of Violet Manor, Richard, who was half leaning on the long table, stared at Luc Theresa, the poor third prince of the Templar Empire, who was kneeling in front of him.
Having royal blood not only failed to bring him power, status and happiness, but also led to his family being ruined, and he had to be used by the king of the temple as a tonic to strengthen himself
It's so tragic.
Luce's body trembled and he raised his head suddenly, his red eyes showing excitement and excitement.
"Lord Richard! The royal family of the Templar Empire has something to do with the evil god of the abyss. I am exploring this information"
Richard's face looked a little playful.
"So, you plan to use the power of the good and lawful camp to overthrow the rule of the Templar Empire?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Luce immediately felt the ridicule in his tone.
There was a bit of bitterness on his face.
"I also know that this is not realistic. No one would launch a war against a powerful kingdom because of some random things. But, I have no choice!"
With his strength, there is no hope for revenge according to the normal script.
You can only take the wrong approach.
After a moment of silence, Richard looked directly into the other person's eyes with his deep eyes and spoke word by word.
"Luce, are you willing to inherit the throne of the Templar Empire and become the master of this empire?"
Luce's heart trembled and he looked at Richard with a shocked look.
"Sir, is this possible?"
who is he? After the king got drunk, he raped the lowly bastards born to common people!
He was even able to become the third prince simply because the Templar Empire had a forbidden technique that could extract the blood of descendants to strengthen himself.
In other words, he is just the king's backup blood bottle.
With his status, he wants to be a king?
The chance of becoming a king is smaller than that of a beggar.
Richard said with some deep meaning.
"Isn't the blood flowing in your body also the blood of the Holy Temple royal family?"
"Since other princes can inherit the throne, why not you?"
The calm tone is seductive.
"As long as you become the king, the revenge on you can be avenged with the wave of your hand!"
"This empire should not be so dark and evil. You can freely compose the ideal country in your heart."
"Everyone must kneel down and worship you."
"Your Majesty Luce."
If you want to complete this S-class mission with external forces, you need to face the army of an empire.
The difficulty is as high as climbing to the sky.
But what if we think about it differently and start from within?
Although Luce's status is very humble in the royal family, he is still a member of the Templar Empire.
Since there is an opportunity to take advantage of, let's engage in a palace battle with nine sons to seize the throne.
Those huge armies would not regard the princes vying for the throne as mortal enemies.
Is it reasonable for the king to die in a palace fight?
"As long as you make up your mind, I will do my best to support you and help you get to that position."
"Your Highness Luce, the future is in your hands. Your choice not only determines your fate, but also determines the fate of the Templar Empire!"
"I will stay in Solan City for three days. Before I leave, I hope to get your answer. Don't wait until later."
"No need to reply to me now, go back and think about it."
"But you have to remember that once you make a choice, you will be a member of the Twilight City in the future."
"Let's go."
Luce, who got into the carriage, leaned against the glass window in a daze, looking at the streets and pedestrians retreating, his thoughts already flying.
The conversation just now was still echoing in my mind.
The indifferent posture of that heroic young man looked like a king, but to the other party, it was nothing more than that.
It would be absurd and unreasonable to put it on other people, but who made the promise to him?
Qingqiu!
God slayer!
The opponent's legendary record left him unable to raise any doubts.
But is it possible to be a king?
Can someone like him become a king?
He had never dared to think about the path that the God-Slayer gave him. Although it seemed a bit far-fetched, it shook his heart like an earthquake.
Xu~
"Your Highness, we are here"
The driver's calm voice came from outside the car.
After Luce was awakened, he subconsciously turned his head to look.
Outside the luxurious residence where he was staying, he saw several figures in gorgeous clothes talking to each other.
He took a deep breath, opened the car door himself, and stepped out.
When the figures saw him, they immediately stopped talking, and one of them, a bald man in his early forties, stepped closer.
The other party looked at Luce up and down, and said with a bit of disgust in his tone.
"I want you to stop running around. Which Lord of Divine Grace did you meet today?"
After speaking, he scolded Luce without waiting for a reply.
"What can you come up with when you go alone to remember your real mission? Don't try to convince the other party. What you waste energy on is my time!"
"Tonight Grand Duke Solan is hosting a banquet. You will attend with us. Don't talk too much if you can't say anything. If Grand Duke Solan asks you, just reply as you were told before."
"Hurry back and change clothes. We don't have that much time to spend here with you."
After the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, he laughed and turned around to talk and laugh with several other people.
The other few people didn't move from beginning to end.
As for saluting the prince? Stop being ridiculous, is this little bastard worthy of killing even the royal family?
Hearing this disdainful tone that was no different from the past, Luce, who had been somewhat immune to it before, suddenly felt humiliated like never before.
The five fingers clenched tightly, and the joints creaked.
Those tempting words came to mind again.
Luce, are you willing to inherit the throne of the Templar Empire and become the master of this empire?
Me,
willing!
I am willing to be a part of the Twilight City, I am willing to be your slave, and I am willing to pay everything for revenge!
My anger will eventually burn down this decadent empire!
——
After Weir waited for Luce's back to disappear, she looked at Richard hesitantly.
"Sir, do we really want to interfere in the fight for the throne of the Templar Empire?"
"Although the king is old, he is not unable to move. Although the crown prince has not yet been appointed, he has already made plans for his successor, so he is now involved."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.
Richard looked playfully.
"We don't have many chess pieces in our hands. The next step in our spare time may have unexpected effects."
"So what if we fail? It won't have any impact on us."
Semi-artifact, with this kind of treasure as a reward, you have to work hard to overcome no matter how great the difficulties are.
However, this matter needs to be carefully planned.
It is as difficult as ascending to the sky to raise an abandoned prince with no foundation to the throne.
But, precisely because of the difficulties, isn’t the final benefit even sweeter?
"I think I will have one more topic to discuss this time when I meet Grand Duke Solan"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Lord Richard, President Weir, an invitation has come from the City Lord's Mansion, inviting you to attend the dinner tonight."
The messenger handed over the golden invitation card.
Richard put it aside without looking at it.
"Vell, if you accompany me tonight, you can expand the connections of the Violet Chamber of Commerce and let everyone know who is standing behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce."
He had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time.
Legendary ascetic monk, ruler of Solan City, Grand Duke of the Templar Empire, any title has great intimidating power.
When these names are focused on one person at the same time, it can be called a ruler.
A ruler who controls the fate of tens of millions of people.
Grand Duke Solan, who owns Solan City, belongs to the top group of any country in the main plane in terms of wealth, strength, and status.
What made Richard feel a little emotional was that a year ago, let alone being invited to the banquet, he couldn't even step into the other party's threshold.
With just one year of development, Twilight City now has the qualifications to be on par with Solan City.
The previous efforts have finally paid off.
As the sky gradually darkens, the sky is filled with colorful clouds. Reflected in the glass of residential buildings, the whole city is immersed in dreamlike colors.
The convoy of Violet Manor drove slowly towards the center of the city.
After waking up, Chris was still a little drowsy at the moment, but after being jolted a few times, she woke up completely.
She squeezed to Richard's side, held his arm tightly, tilted her little head, and said with interest.
"Your Excellency Richard, that Prince Luce just came to ask for an audience. Didn't he say anything? For example, bold Richard didn't dedicate the plane of El to the Templar Empire!"
"Or, the Templar Empire will make you a marquis, and you will hand over the El plane to the royal family for management."
While chatting with him, the little girl was still holding the strengthening crystal gifted by Richard tightly in her hand, unwilling to let go.
Richard laughed dumbly.
"You think a lot about Luce. I will discuss it with your father in detail."
He said it meaningfully.
"Perhaps it won't be long before His Highness the Prince will become the most distinguished guest in Solan City."
Chrissy obviously didn't believe it.
"Even beggars know the background of the third prince. If it weren't for those big nobles who wanted to seize the plane of El, how could he be qualified to represent the royal family of the Holy Temple?"
"How can there be any dignity?"
In the midst of the other party's coquettishness, Richard pinched his small and delicate face without explaining.
He was going to lay out the plans for Luce to take the throne.
But this matter depends on the attitude of Grand Duke Solan.
But if you play a few more moves, you will always get something.
In front of the city lord's palace.
The surrounding area was heavily guarded, and the army guarded the surrounding areas very closely.
No pedestrians dared to approach this martial law area, and residents on the streets only dared to stand outside the cordon and look carefully.
Today's martial law is extremely broad, and it seems like something big is about to happen.
Many well-meaning residents and players stopped on their own initiative to see what would happen.
It’s human nature to watch the excitement, and players are even better at it.
Not long after, a luxurious carriage drove slowly and entered the center of the heavily guarded area.
The next moment, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief and shock on their faces.
Because when the carriage stopped, a burly figure wearing a plain robe with an aura as thick as a mountain opened the door himself.
"Grand Duke Solan?!"
After a resident exclaimed, the crowd watching the excitement was in an uproar.
In Solan City, there is actually someone who can make Grand Duke Solan pull the car door himself? !
The scene of the legendary strongman pulling the car door shocked everyone's attention.
That's a legend! !
Even a king doesn't have this qualification, right?
Who can enjoy this kind of treatment? !
Questions arose in the minds of countless people.
But unfortunately, the surrounding troops moved and blocked all external sight, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Richard was not surprised by Grand Duke Solan's appearance. After getting off the carriage, he had a smile on his face and a calm look in his eyes.
Chrissy, who had already let go of his arm, began to introduce each other shyly.
"Your Excellency Richard, this is my father"
"Father, this is Mr. Richard whom I have been telling you about."
The two looked at each other.
The air suddenly became somewhat quiet.
This is the first time the two have met. Because of the El Plane and Richard's feat of killing the gods, the relationship between them is a bit subtle.
Powerful and unfathomable.
This is Richard's most intuitive perception of Grand Duke Solan.
Handsome, with outstanding temperament and full of charm.
This is Grand Duke Solan's impression of Richard.
After a while, Richard spoke first.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, Lord of Twilight City, Richard sends his regards"
Weir beside him also immediately leaned over.
"Your Highness, the President of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, Weier, salutes you and thanks Solan City for taking care of the Violet Chamber of Commerce during this period."
Grand Duke Solan, who is over 1.9 meters tall, is extremely tall and tall. He looks like a mountain standing there, giving people a strong and oppressive feeling.
Under the plain robe, the body of a beast seems to be hidden.
Ascetics cannot wear any equipment. They rely on physical strength to fight.
Ascetics who have practiced to the extreme can even fight hand-to-hand with dragons, wrestle with Titans, and collide with giants.
The fighting power is beyond the sky.
Grand Duke Solan looked at Richard meaningfully after he spoke.
"Your Excellency Richard, how do you feel about my daughter?"
When these words came out, Chris was stunned for a moment, and then her face instantly turned red like the clouds in the sky, and her face was full of shyness.
Then he blinked his big eyes and looked straight at Richard, as if he wanted to hear his answer immediately.
Richard did not expect Solan Grand Guild to say such a thing.
He said directly without blinking.
"Her Highness Chris is smart, kind, cute, beautiful, and full of charm. She is the most outstanding person of the opposite sex I have ever met."
What else can you do in front of other people's parents? Of course, you will praise them to death.
Who likes to hear bad things about their children?
When Chris heard this, she felt that the joy in her heart was about to explode. Her eyes were crooked, and her smile was like a star, brilliant and gorgeous.
Grand Duke Solan stared at Richard for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
"The Lord of Solan City, Gris Solan, it's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Richard."
"On behalf of Solan City, I welcome you. Of course, President Weir also welcomes you."
"Please come in."
As he spoke, he turned slightly sideways and motioned to the open door of the City Lord's Mansion.
And the words about how you feel about my daughter just now are as if they have never been said before.
Richard didn't ask any more questions. It was better to talk less about this kind of proposition.
Smile and follow the other person inside.
The people outside who were still watching the excitement and talking about Solan's open car door didn't know.
The next few hours will not only affect the layout and future development direction of Twilight City, but may even affect the situation of the entire main plane. (End of chapter)
