Pirates: I am the devil

Chapter 67: The Bloody Past of the Flower Kingdom (Please Read)
Seeing the old man suddenly burst into tears, Sirens and Robin were a little surprised.

Sirens is fine, he has enough experience in reading films.

Knowing that old man Xin had a sentiment similar to "a gentleman will die for his confidant", he was so excited after verifying his identity.

He was surprised only because he did not expect that he had a hidden identity, suspected to be a prince of a certain West Sea Kingdom.

And the three words "gladiator", "letter" and "prince" evoked the unbearable memories of his youth when he was young and frivolous and peeked into the bushes with his face.

As for Robin, she was simply shocked by the old man's words. After she reacted, she looked at Sirens with shining eyes.

No wonder she always felt that Brother Sirens was slow in his movements and elegant in his manners. Although he lived in an uninhabited forest, he had the temperament of a prince in a fairy tale.

It turns out that he really is a prince.

Although I don't know why he became careless after the destruction of O'Hara and no longer paid attention to details as before.

But I think he must have been wronged by the Navy, so he decided to make a change.

If, she means if...

If you get protection from a country, then you don't have to hide all day, worried that the navy and the world government will come to your door, right?

The wandering life these days has really made the little girl suffer a lot, so she is extremely eager for a safe haven that can give her safety and warmth.

When O'Hara was still alive, the cabin in the suburban forest was her safe haven.

After O'Hara's destruction, Cyrus' arms were her safe haven.

But Brother Sirens is also a human being, and he gets tired too.

Robin wished there was a place that could provide him with shelter and a good night's sleep, where he could rest and not be so tired.

Unfortunately, the little girl's beautiful vision did not last long, and it turned into a bubble and shattered in the following conversation.

"I am sixty-seven years old this year. I once served as the captain of the Flower Kingdom's national guard and was highly trusted by the late king."

After calming down, Xin sat down in the not very spacious living room at Sirens's signal, and talked about the past with reminiscent looks in his eyes.

“I was originally just a warrior. I was recognized by His Majesty and joined the Royal Guard at the age of 20. I have been responsible for protecting the royal family ever since.

But twenty-two years ago, the late king suddenly fell seriously ill after attending the World Conference, and died hastily before he could leave a will to designate the next king."

Speaking of the late king's death, Xin's eyes were clearly filled with murderous intent, as if there was something else going on:

“In the Kingdom of Flowers, martial arts are very popular. From the kings and nobles to the common people, everyone knows some martial arts.

Although the late king's talent for martial arts could not be said to be particularly strong, his strength was among the best among all the monarchs of the Kingdom of Flowers.

After finishing his official duties, he would always ask the guards to practice with him for a few rounds, and seven or eight ordinary people would be unable to do anything to him.

However, this Majesty, who is both civil and military, fell ill without any warning after attending the World Conference.

At first everyone thought he just caught a cold, but who would have thought that after returning to the Kingdom of Flowers, his Majesty would fall seriously ill, and after falling into a coma one day, he never regained consciousness."

Perhaps because he had just cried, or perhaps because he had already accepted the fact that the late king had passed away, he did not show much sadness at the moment, but rather a feeling of powerlessness and anger:
“Finally, after more than a dozen royal doctors examined and diagnosed him, they finally determined that His Majesty had been poisoned by some strange poison, and it was most likely that someone had poisoned him during the World Conference.

At that time, the throne was vacant, and the most likely candidates to become the new king were the eldest prince and the eldest princess, that is, your mother, Her Highness Rose.

It can be said that whoever can find the murderer will be the next king.

However, while I and the Princess Royal were searching for the real culprit, the eldest prince gained the support of the royal family and the navy group and successfully ascended the throne. "

Xin clenched his fists when he said this, seeming a little dissatisfied with the eldest prince.

Sirens thought it was normal. When it came to the ownership of the throne, he would naturally try his best and use all means. Following the rules would only lead to a complete defeat. But thinking that it was his cheap mother who lost in this battle for the throne, Sirens felt that the old man of the Flower Kingdom had not come to the throne legitimately, and there would be disasters.

Coincidentally, he just needed a piece of territory to expand his power.

What’s even more coincidental is that I heard that the Kingdom of Flowers is fertile and full of martial virtues.

“Your Majesty was attending the World Conference and I was protecting him throughout the entire process. However, I was completely unaware of the approaching danger during this period, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

After the new king ascended the throne, although my position as captain of the kingdom's guard was not taken away, it became an honorary title, and I was responsible for guarding the gate of the palace every day.

Later, Her Royal Highness the Princess transferred me to her side to serve as her guard and continue to track down the real murderer who murdered the late king."

When Sirens heard this, he knew that old man Xin was trying to protect the reputation of the royal family.

He didn't have the nerve to tell the new king directly that the new king saw that he was too close to the eldest princess and was afraid that one day when he was on duty, he would look at the sky and decide to assassinate the king, so he kicked him to guard the palace gate.

A new official starts with three things when he takes office, and a new king gets rid of the old ministers when he ascends the throne.

The basic operation belongs to yes.

"And then, did you find out the real culprit?"

Sirens remembered that the Flower Kingdom had been fighting with the Insect Kingdom on and off over the years. If nothing unexpected happened, the real culprit should be in the Insect Kingdom.

The answer from Xin also confirmed his guess:
“Yes, during the World Conference, the Holy Land of Marijoa was heavily guarded, and the protection of kings and envoys from various countries was also in place. The only ones who could attack the late king were other kings.

It just so happened that the relationship between the Flower Kingdom and the Insect Kingdom was quite tense at the time, and war could break out at any time. One of the topics of the World Conference was how to resolve the dispute between the two countries.

But no one expected that the Insect Nation would dare to murder Your Majesty at this point in time."

Sirens: “…”

However, the holy land of Marijoa is heavily guarded?

Isn’t that a pigsty that anyone can enter with their feet?

Are you sure you found the right person?
"The Kingdom of Flowers values ​​martial arts, and the Kingdom of Insects is good at using poisons. And just after the World Conference, they announced that a poison master had defected."

Old man Xin clenched his fists and made a crackling sound: "They just found a poison master to take the blame and pretended to be a victim. The Flower Kingdom naturally couldn't stand this, so the war broke out.

The war lasted on and off for almost two years. The eldest princess always led the army to the front and killed countless enemies, but she almost died on the battlefield several times.

Before the war was over, she was hailed as the number one female warrior in the Kingdom of Flowers and enjoyed a very high reputation among the people and the military.

But at this time, the Insect Country sent a request for peace talks."

Hearing this, Sirens couldn't help but sit up straighter. Once the war reached the negotiation stage, something big would definitely happen.

As he expected, the letter said angrily: "The King of the Insect Kingdom expressed his willingness to hand over the murderer of the previous king and to pay a huge war compensation to the Flower Kingdom.

At the end of the peace request, he expressed his love for Her Royal Highness the Princess and said that he wanted to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess as his queen, so that the two countries could stop fighting and form an alliance..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sirens' face immediately darkened.

He was very familiar with the plot of the princess's marriage, so familiar that he knew without thinking how miserable their end would be.

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, the fake king who came to power illegitimately agreed?"

Xin's expression was a mixture of anger and unwillingness, as well as a bit of helplessness and sadness. He nodded heavily.
