Chapter 164: The First Prince Cortez
To most people, the counselor's idea seems a bit ridiculous, but for Duke Rono at this time, it is still a method.
"Where is Nocula? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."
Duke Rono suddenly remembered someone, and he asked the people around him. Someone quickly responded in a low voice: "Magister Nocula is dead..."
"Dead? What's going on!?"
Duke Rono stared at the man, sweating crazily from his head.
"The Magister died on the other side of the San Anders Mountains...even our people did not escape."
"Is it a problem of the beast tide?"
< br>"No."
The man who spoke out said tremblingly: "It's Irina's people. They use something similar to a demon to constantly explore Saint Andre. In the Si Mountains, the magical forbidden spell set by Magister Nocula was discovered.”
"Then the sky fire came..."
Duke Rono frowned and asked in a rough voice: "The sky fire... are the things that destroyed the orc army?"
The person in front of him nodded.
"Skyfire easily destroyed the forbidden spell set up in the San Anders Mountains. Together with Magister Nocula and more than a dozen of us here, we will wait until the second group of us arrives there. At that time, it was discovered that the body of Magister Nocula could not be found.”
Duke Rono fell silent. He knew very well that what he said at this time was true. Magister Noculla. The large-scale forbidden spell that caused the beast tide needed a place to activate it, and Princess Irina obviously sent people to search the San Anders Mountains immediately after experiencing the beast tide.
I found that their group was extremely normal.
After a long while, Duke Rono calmed down the anger in his heart, waved weakly, and signaled his men to bring the eldest prince out.
Duke Rono and the Orc Army conspired to carve up the entire Coman Empire. In order to prevent the second prince from the south from rushing to help here, he specifically contacted the Orc Empire Aimeng to jointly organize the situation...until the Orc Empire took action. After that, Duke Rono finally chose to take action against the eldest prince.
But because of the special status of the eldest prince, Duke Rono did not directly kill him. Instead, he had people torture him continuously.
The eldest prince, Cortes Mavia, lost an arm in prison for several months and even lost an eye... He was originally named Cortes, but actually Above means "perseverance" in the Koman language.
The eldest prince's behavior was well in line with the meaning of the name. Even though he was repeatedly tortured by Duke Rono, he had no intention of surrender. He would rather die than acknowledge Duke Rono's usurpation.
The eldest prince Cortez was quickly dragged out of the dungeon. His body was covered in blood, but his only one eye shot out fiercely. Many people in the castle did not dare to look directly at him!
“My beloved eldest prince, how are you doing recently?”
Duke Rono sat on the throne, staring at the eldest prince Ke as if looking at a dying person. Ertes spoke out.
“Thanks to you, I’m still alive.”
The eldest prince responded dullly, but from the corner of his eye he saw many familiar people in the castle.
Many of the people here were once his ministers and subordinates. However, after the sudden death of Mavia II, when Duke Rono usurped the throne one night, his own bodyguard All the regiments were killed, but none of the ministers and subordinates he once trusted were on his side!
They became the shameful accomplices of Duke Rono. Not only did they submit to Duke Rono, they even vigorously promoted Duke Rono to become the future emperor of the Coman Empire!
This kind of betrayal made the eldest prince extremely angry, but several months of dungeon life finally made him calm down. He learned about the current situation of the Corman Empire at this time from the chatter of the dungeon guards.
When he learned that the princess Irina was not only still alive, but had also completely eliminated the orc army that invaded the Koman Empire, the eldest prince was so surprised that he was speechless.
After bribing the dungeon guards, the eldest prince Cortes quickly learned more information about the princess Irina.
He knew that he had a sister outside, and this sister was overwhelmingly destroying Duke Rono's power in the north, and would soon attack the royal city of Celia!
This undoubtedly makes the eldest prince Cortez particularly excited... But it is not the time for the final showdown yet. He is still in the dungeon and under the control of Duke Rono, even if Even after knowing this information, he had to pretend not to know.
Duke Rono has always been very scheming. If he really wanted to kill, he might not survive until Princess Irina leads the troops to capture the royal city of Celia.
"Hahaha, what are you saying, Your Highness? Look at the injuries on your body. Is there someone in the dungeon who is making things difficult for you? Tell me his name and I will punish him severely!"
Duke Rono spoke up at this time. He carefully observed the expression on the eldest prince's face. After not seeing any subtle changes, he might have felt bored, so he simply stood up from the throne.
“How much do you know about your sister...the princess Irina?”
Duke Rono asked aloud as he walked towards the eldest prince Cortes.
The eldest prince raised his head, stared at Duke Rono with one evil eye and said, "Didn't you send someone to kill her from the beginning? Why are you still asking me this?"
The Duke squinted his eyes to see the eldest prince's expression, and seemed to feel that he was not pretending.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Your sister is not dead.”
Duke Rono’s voice sounded again, “Princess Irina has dealt with the orc invaders in the south, and under the banner of quelling the civil strife, she went to the king Duselia is here."
The eldest prince didn't have any smile or joy on his face. He just stared at Duke Rono coldly and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
"Aren't you excited?"
Duke Rono said with a half-smile, "Your sister is about to come to save you, and then you will be the legitimate heir to the throne. She is just a woman. , I’m afraid you two will fight again..."
The eldest prince remained silent. His best way to deal with it at this moment was to remain silent. Silence would allow Duke Rono to say more words. It is also easier to know what exactly it wants to do.
“Let’s get down to business.”
Duke Rono didn’t see that he had aroused the eldest prince’s emotions, and felt very bored. He immediately returned to his cold expression.
"I dragged you out of the dungeon to ask you to do something."
"Your sister Irina Mavia is about to arrive at the royal city of Celia. I don't want her to enter. Come here."
"I want you to write a letter to her, asking her to withdraw her troops and return to the south immediately."
"Otherwise, your life will be lost!"
