Chapter 1008: stand in front of the king

"To be honest with my father, the one who regains control of the Cold Flame Kingdom is not any one of the royal brothers, but me!"

Ariel's starry eyes showed a little more determination, and she nodded to the eager old king and said, "Please rest assured, father, as long as I don't fall, the Cold Flame Kingdom will prosper!"

"Ellie, are you saying that you defeated your unscrupulous royal brothers and ended this sudden power dispute?"

The old king's resolute face was full of disbelief, and he blurted out: "How is this possible? If you can successfully save your life, I have already bowed down to thank the gods. How can you be the opponent of those three guys?"

As a wise monarch, the old king, who knew that the struggle for power would inevitably damage the country's power, had been secretly and closely watching the movements of the three princes before he became seriously ill.

Whether it was the traditional aristocratic group behind the eldest prince, the new aristocratic group behind the second prince, or the three aristocratic families who secretly had close contacts with the fourth prince, the old king knew them all.

The old king clearly understood that as long as he was alive, these nobles with their own evil intentions would not dare to act arbitrarily, and they would all have to behave with their tail between their legs.

But once he made a mistake and caused the throne of the Cold Flame Kingdom to overthrow, even if he appointed a crown prince, he would not be able to stop a **** power storm that swept through the entire kingdom.

Because of this, the old king, who was getting older, was not in a hurry to establish a crown prince. Instead, he tried to find a way to break the situation while he was still healthy, hoping to avoid this disaster for the kingdom.

It is a pity that the more the old king worked hard in this regard, the more he realized his own powerlessness.

He underestimated the twisted desire for power of the three princes, and also underestimated the deepening conflicts and overt struggles for interests between different aristocratic groups.

It wasn't until he suddenly fell ill and could no longer control Chao Gang that the undercurrent that had been brewing for a long time suddenly broke out, dragging the entire kingdom into a whirlpool of power that was filled with smoke and blood.

To sum up, the old king was naturally aware of the huge power behind the three princes, and he also clearly understood that his eldest daughter Caroline, who guarded the north on his behalf, could still protect herself.

But the younger daughter Ariel, who was under his care, was alone, without any preparation for the power dispute, and she was even still dreaming about a better future.

This undoubtedly means that once this life and death struggle for power begins, I am afraid that Ariel will be torn to pieces by desire and conspiracy in an instant and become the first victim in the **** struggle of the royal family.

At this point, the old king, who was well aware of all this, was so excited that he could hardly believe his eyes after suddenly seeing Ariel.

Ariel's survival itself was already a great gift to the old king and an incredible miracle. However, the old king was full of confusion and confusion about what Ariel said.

After all, compared to the three powerful princes, Ariel, who has been living under a clear cloud and unaware of all this, has no power behind her at all.

Such a huge disparity in strength is like a cricket shaking a tree. How could Ariel win the final victory?

"Father, I know you must be full of doubts. Even I, who was forced to flee the royal capital at that time, could never believe that one day I would defeat the three royal brothers."

Ariel looked at the old king's astonished face with a solemn and awe-inspiring expression.

She pulled Lei Xiao, who was standing aside, in front of her, and said to the old king: "The reason why I was able to defeat the new aristocracy, the traditional aristocracy, the fallen aristocracy, and the three powerful families along the way. It’s all because of his help!”

"It was he who saved my life countless times. It was he who made me regain my confidence in adversity and become less cowardly. It was he who overcame obstacles for me and paved the way to the throne. He even fell into trouble several times for this reason. On the verge of life and death."

As Ariel said this, there was a bit more tenderness and irrepressible gratitude in her voice: "Father, it is precisely because of his appearance that I can stand in front of you safe and sound again and serve you. Tell me all about it!”

"Is it all because of this young man's help? It's unbelievable."

After listening to Ariel's excited words, the old king stared at Lei Xiao's angular face and asked involuntarily: "Young man, who are you..."

"Boy Lei Xiao, I have met His Majesty the old King."

For Ariel's father, Lei Xiao naturally had to maintain enough respect and responded with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess was too ridiculous just now. I was just doing my best."

"Lei Xiao, a concise and powerful name, but this is obviously not the naming method of human nations. In other words, can it completely eliminate interference from other human forces?"

The old king nodded thoughtfully, then seemed to remember something, and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, are you a traveler from Daxia?"

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be able to guess the origin of this boy just by his name. It's so admirable."

Lei Xiao nodded to the old king, still smiling and said: "Everything is just as His Majesty said, the boy is indeed a traveler in Daxia."

Lei Xiao clearly understood that when the old king was unconscious, one billion other world lords like him had not yet come to this world.

Therefore, the old king will not know about the arrival of the alien lord.

Under this premise, the old king was still able to quickly tell his origin, and the result was naturally self-evident. It must be some kind of inheritance from the old boy Wang Xina.

After all, from a fundamental point of view, the royal family of the Lengyan Kingdom already has the blood of Daxia.

Sure enough, Lei Xiao had just thought of this, and UU Reading www.uukｎshu.com only heard the old king respond with a smile: "Haha, you don't have to wonder, the ancestor of the Hero King once had an inseparable and deep connection with Daxia. As a descendant, I , it’s not that strange to know the naming habits of Daxia people.”

"Father, our Lengyan royal family actually still has connections with Daxia?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel suddenly looked curious and asked, "What is the origin?"

"Ellie, this is a secret that only the Cold Flame Kingdom has known for generations. When you are truly crowned king, everything will naturally become clear."

The old king nodded to Ariel, and then asked Lei Xiao with doubts on his face: "Your Excellency, as a time traveler, how did you manage to overcome thorns and accompany my daughter all the way with your own strength? Did you get to this point?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. In fact, I am not alone, and I am not the only one who has traveled through time."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then described the arrival of a billion lords, which made the old king stunned. (End of chapter)
