Mage Veigar

Chapter 432 Alliance under the City
It's late at night in the city of Dunbu.

"Cough cough cough..."

There was a cough, and the haggard eldest prince Kaia Saint Laurent couldn't help but tighten his collar. Then he opened a secret letter in the empty study and read it carefully.

The first thing that catches your eye is the signature.

The words "Vega Kaleni" were like cursed runes, causing Kaia Saint Laurent to retch uncontrollably. He had heard this name more than a dozen times a day for a while, even in his dreams, these five words haunted him. Now that he saw these five words, he could no longer hold back the nausea in his chest.

Because of this.

Kaia Saint Laurent's health has been failing, and now she is out of breath even after moving a few steps.

Appreciating a wise, knowing those out.

Although he cannot claim to be wise, he still has basic self-knowledge. Kaiya already knows clearly that he is now a piece of meat on the chopping board, and the regime he established is really powerless to save the situation.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

In this situation, his life depended entirely on when the tiger and the wolf would attack.

He didn't blame anyone for what had happened today; it was all his own fault.

If he had not been indecisive, adopting Theon's plan at one moment and accepting Ferry Gary's advice at another, the war situation would not have reached this point. So now it seems that he is not a qualified king at all.

So he did not make the letter public.

He hoped that in the last period of his rule, he could handle some things with his own will, not to change the world, but to die without regrets. If he never acted on his own until his death, wouldn't it be too aggrieved?
This letter is a beginning.

He should make decisions based on his own will rather than listening to the analysis and advice of so-called "professionals".

After reading the letter, Kaia Saint Laurent gave an order to the captain of the escort team: "Escort me to the small town of Rio tomorrow. I need to meet a famous person."

"Your Majesty, you can't do that."

The captain of the escort team suggested: "Right now the downstream area is in chaos. Although Rio is an insignificant safe place and we have not detected any signs of the enemy advancing there, we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy will discover our whereabouts and assassinate us along the way."

"So I can't go?"

Kaiya stood up with the help of the tablecloth and walked towards the captain of the guard step by step.

The captain of the guard seemed to have heard Kaiya's dissatisfaction, but he still said firmly: "Your Majesty, please think twice. For your safety, please do not leave the city of Dunbu casually."

"Don't even think about interfering with me again!"

Kaia drew the sword from the guard's waist and stabbed it directly into the guard's heart.

He looked like a madman. After drawing out his sword, he continued to stab the corpse repeatedly until he was exhausted.

So on the next day.

Under the protection of the guards, Kaia secretly left the city of Donbu and rushed to Rio, a small city between the middle and lower reaches.

This place is still under his rule for the time being, but because it is not a strategic location, there is no army, only some security teams. The distance between the lower and middle reaches of this small town is about the same, which is the best place for a secret meeting.

In a hotel's top-notch commercial room.

Vega and Kaia Saint Laurent sat opposite each other, and after some basic greetings, they both looked at each other carefully.

Although it was not the first time that Kaia Saint Laurent had met Vega, he could never have imagined that the passerby who he had only met by chance at Saint Laurent and had not taken him seriously at the beginning would force him into such a situation today.

Perhaps the Empire didn't know yet. But Kaia knew very well that Vega was plotting to take over the Holy Dynasty. I'm afraid the Empire was still in the dark and really regarded the dwarf in front of it as a loyal general.

He single-handedly controlled the Three Kingdoms.

Kaiya suddenly laughed out loud, because Vega made him realize that there are always people better than you. There is probably not a single person in the entire continent who can do this, and it doesn't seem shameful to be defeated by such a person.

"Why is your majesty laughing?"

Vega was confused when he saw Kaia suddenly laugh.

When he first met her by chance at Saint Laurent's banquet, he only thought that the other party was a rather cold-blooded superior, especially when Nila later ordered Theon to kill Xia in the water city, which further confirmed this point.

But I saw it again today.

Vega discovered that Kaeya's sharp sword had lost its alluring edge, like a chess player who was no longer obsessed with victory, or like a sage who had seen through everything and truly lived his own life.

If I had heard Vega's question before.

Even if he admired Vega's ability in his heart, he would never say it out loud. As a king, how could he encourage others and destroy his own prestige?

But now, he spoke out his inner thoughts without hiding his feelings: "I just feel that it is an honor to lose to you."

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

Vega smiled brightly and said, "There are thousands of acres of grain stored in Zhongyou, more than 300,000 elite soldiers, and the great city of Dunbu that intimidates all directions. How can you say you are defeated? Excuse me, but I am not sure I can defeat you."

"Hahaha."

Kaiya laughed loudly. "I never thought that one day I would be comforted by my opponent. But please do not worry. Even if I am a weakling, I have not fallen to the point where I need the comfort of my enemy. What does it matter if I lose? I will just die anyway."

"Your Majesty is open-minded."

"No need to say more polite words, may I ask why you invited me here today?"

"In that case, I will be frank."

Veigar stopped talking nonsense and chose to get straight to the point: "I came here to form an alliance with Your Majesty."

"An alliance?"

Kaiya couldn't help laughing again. "Do you really understand what you are saying, Your Excellency? We have a blood feud, so how can we form an alliance? Even if I agree, how can I explain it to my officials?"

"When a king is acting, why should he talk to a chess piece?"

Kaeya was stunned by Vega's words, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Some people are born to be kings. If I had understood this earlier, I wouldn't have fallen into this situation. In this case, please enlighten me."

Vega nodded and continued, "The Empire once treated me as a pawn and abandoned me at will. I have decided to rebel against the Empire and pledge allegiance to Her Majesty Xia. The East Coast and the West Coast of the Dynasty are fighting to the death, which is ultimately their own business. However, this Empire has evil ambitions and wants to annex the vast territory of the Dynasty. This is our common enemy. Now that we are facing an external enemy, how can we kill each other?"

"Your Excellency is right."

Kaia Saint Laurent looked at Vega and said, "But can I refuse?"

“Your Majesty, do you have any other choice?” Vega asked.

Kaiya sighed and signed the covenant: "I am the meat of others. After I die, please protect my family."
