Chapter 47 Ambition
Paso's words were clear and understandable. Everyone was shocked by the firmness in his words. They didn't even notice the inappropriateness of his use of the word "queen". Instead, they all looked at Lu Yi who was standing beside them, either openly or secretly.
At first they didn't notice the low-level fox orc who came in with Paso, and they found it incredible when they heard Paso's words.
After all, the orc features on that fox were so obvious that he was clearly a low-level orc.
He was the only one in this space who had orc characteristics. The others were all advanced orcs with full human form and no animal characteristics.
What charm does he have that makes Prince Paso, who has always disdained love, want him?
They couldn't help but cast scrutinizing glances at Lu Yi.
But after seeing this, all the previous suspicion and wonder disappeared.
The fox orc just stood there quietly, with a blank expression on his face, or perhaps a hint of slight worry.
His facial features were only delicate, but he exuded an inexplicable charm. His light amber eyes were like the first rays of morning light, or like the warm winter sun, so bright that they wanted to turn back into their animal form and roll over on the grass.
No wonder Prince Paso fell. Even old beastmen like them with rich life experience couldn't help but feel fondness and closeness towards this fox beastman.
Some of the newly appointed elders who had little self-control could not help but show their tails, and then hurriedly retracted their tails.
This fox orc is so scary. Even the tail cannot be hidden when he glances at you!
The Great Elder saw all of this. He was hesitant to speak, but finally acquiesced to Lu Yi's existence.
God of Beasts, even though he was just a low-level orc, he did look like an orc that would be loved by the God of Beasts.
Besides, Prince Paso has so firmly identified him, so he is the future Queen of the Beast King and is indeed not an outsider.
"The cause of death of the eldest prince and the third prince..."
The Great Elder took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "...There is no cause of death."
Paso frowned and repeated subconsciously: "No cause of death? How can there be no cause of death?"
"Are you going to tell me that my brother, who was in his prime, died in his sleep without knowing why?"
Paso's voice was very light, but when it fell to the ground, it brought a danger that no one could ignore.
"If you can't find the cause of death, then keep looking. Don't use such ridiculous excuses to evade me."
"Oh, you stupid wolf! Would the Great Elder lie to you?" Another elder beside the Great Elder immediately jumped out and said.
"Prince Paso, we all know that you feel bad after losing your loved ones, but please calm down immediately! There are still many things in the tribe that need you to deal with. If even you are confused, what should our beast tribe do next? Do you want us to rely on the naive and reckless Prince Sol?"
"Prince Paso, this is the throne that your brother failed to inherit. You have to take it over and lead the people of the Beast Tribe! The Council of Elders is not your enemy, and neither are the conservatives!"
The elder's voice was full of energy, and he almost pointed at Paso's nose and scolded him for being stupid.
The Great Elder sighed and said, "Paso, although this does sound ridiculous, it is indeed the case. The two princes did not die."
Paso calmed down after hearing the soft and hard words from the two men. His bloodshot pupils faded a little, but the red bloodshot was still obvious.
Paso bowed his head towards the Great Elder and his voice softened.
"I'm sorry, Great Elder. I just lost control of my emotions. I just... I just can't accept such a ridiculous reason. My brother is still so young. I saw him in the daytime. How could he die suddenly?"
Paso did not express his sadness by crying like Sol, but his dazed expression at this moment was even more heartbreaking.
He spoke a long speech, each word tinged with blood and his hoarse voice was filled with his pain.
Who in the beast tribe doesn't know that the friendship between the eldest prince and the second prince is deep and close?
The eldest prince is the heir to the throne of the Beast King, and the second prince has always been his most loyal and reliable arm.
But at this moment, Paso, who regarded his brother as his direction, suddenly lost his direction.
Under the white cloth, he clearly saw his dead brother.
He left nothing for himself, not a single word.
There is only one orc throne hanging high.
When Paso covered his brother with the white cloth, he was not only covering up his dead brother, but also his past self who was arrogant and proud.
From now on, he is no longer the second prince Paso, but Paso, the heir of the beastman clan who carries his brother's ambitions on his shoulders.
But in the midst of grief, there seemed to be a trace of despicable desires and ambitions growing wildly in my heart.
If the price of obtaining the throne is to lose his brother, then Paso will not have any idea about the throne at all.
But his brother passed away unexpectedly.
The position of heir is vacant.
In other words, the position of Beast King is vacant.
It was only inches away from him.
He remembered that when the old Beast King was still alive, he once asked him if he wanted to be the heir.
Paso refused categorically at the time.
Perhaps he once had the idea of competing for the throne, but this idea was far from enough to make him betray his closest and most beloved brother.
But his brother passed away unexpectedly.
His ambition grew wildly in his grief, dragging him into a purgatory of self-loathing, condemnation and hypocrisy.
During the thirty seconds he ran towards the Council of Elders, was he worried about his brother or was he coveting the throne?
Paso didn't know.
But he knew that when the white cloth was covered, his desire still reached out to the high hanging throne.
"Queen" is not only a word to support Lu Yi, but also his business card to test the attitude of the Council of Elders.
The Senate took the business card and told him: The Senate is not your enemy, and the conservatives are not your enemies either.
They didn't even entertain any hope that Thor might ascend to the throne.
Paso was both amused and confused, with an inexplicable and hypocritical feeling of sadness echoing in his heart.
He originally wanted to kill Thor.
But at this moment he felt it was unnecessary.
If he came here to die voluntarily, he would leave him a chance to live, Paso thought.
Seeing that Paso looked dazed, the elder thought that he was still in grief over his brother's sudden death.
He patted him on the shoulder and finally told him the truth in a low voice.
“…That is the power of God.”
Only the gods could make two powerful top orc elites die silently, without cause or effect.
The Great Elder leaned close to Paso's ear and spoke in a very low voice. Only the two of them could vaguely hear what he had just whispered.
Paso's expression froze completely, and he looked up at him stiffly.
The Great Elder nodded silently.
"Don't investigate further, Prince Paso. This is not something we can interfere with."
This is... a game among gods.
What can their tiny orc tribe do?
Not only are they unable to investigate, they also do everything they can to cover up the truth, even if it involves a scandal like fratricide.
They must never let the outside world know the truth of the matter.
Otherwise, it would not just be a matter of losing two heirs, but all the people of the entire beastman tribe would be buried with them.
The Isaiah continent will never accept a race that is rejected by the gods.
Once the truth is exposed, the Great Elder dare not imagine what a dire situation the Orcs will be in.
The elder patted Paso on the back again and said softly, "It's almost dawn, go and rest for a while. You still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow, and you won't be able to rest by then."
Paso nodded slightly, glanced at Lu Yi and said, "Tran, let's go."
Lu Yi followed him silently, and the two turned and left the Elders' Council.
…
On the way back to the palace, Paso was particularly silent.
He still maintained his beast form, but instead of running on all fours like he did when he came, he walked slowly beside Lu Yi.
Lu Yi tilted his head and looked at him.
"You deliberately called me Queen in the Council of Elders just now, right?" Lu Yi said firmly.
Paso also turned his head to look at Lu Yi.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a somewhat stiff and ugly smile, "You are so smart, you are worthy of being the person I like."
Lu Yi sighed, "Your smile is really ugly, you'd better stop smiling."
He was afraid that he would have a nightmare in the middle of the night if he continued watching.
Lu Yi didn't have much good feelings towards Paso, but seeing how distraught he was at the moment, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
Perhaps it is because he also has a close brother that Lu Yi can empathize with Paso.
When Paso was lying beside the eldest prince's body, Lu Yi thought of Astor.
Astor has neither the blessing of the gods nor the talent of a mermaid.
Astor's achievements were earned by him and Duke Klein fighting on the battlefield with blood.
Lu Yi was only a teenager when he went to the battlefield. Even though he was worried, he didn't know what death really meant.
Young Lu Yi only knew that his father and brother had gone to a very dangerous place and might die.
But what is death?
Lu Yi didn't understand at the time, because Duke Klein and Astor always returned safely.
As Duke Klein gained more glory, the Klein family became more and more prosperous. They had not been to the battlefield for a long time, and Lu Yi began to forget the past.
Until today.
Until Paso prostrated himself over his brother's body with bloodshot eyes.
Lu Yi only realized later that every time his father and brother came back, it seemed to be several months after the end of the war.
He thought it was because of the long journey, but now it seems that they were afraid that he would worry and get scared, so they didn't dare to go home until he recovered from his injuries outside.
Astor, who had no magic, used his sword to carve out a bloody path back home.
But will victory always come to him?
Although the war has long since subsided, who can guarantee that peace will last forever?
Lu Yi didn't dare, nor did he want to think about it any further.
【“857.”】He muttered to himself.
[I'm here, what's wrong 61! ]
[“Can the things in the system mall be used by people on the Isaiah continent, no, mermaids?”] Lu Yi asked, holding his breath.
857 was silent for a long time.
Lu Yi took a deep breath, [“I understand.”]
【I’m sorry, Lulu. 】
【"It doesn't matter."】
It’s okay, it’s okay.
Isn't Astor a mermaid?
There will always be a way to stimulate the mermaid power in his blood.
Astor was not in danger now, he had plenty of time.
As long as he finds a way to stimulate the mermaid blood, Aster will be able to gain power immediately.
As long as we find a way to stimulate the mermaid bloodline——
Lu Yi fell silent.
Paso next to him was also silent.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they walked quietly for a while.
The morning light is dim, and a light in the distance is rising slightly.
It's dawn.
Lu Yi was distracted and found that the animal-shaped Paso beside him suddenly turned into a smaller version of a little wolf.
The little wolf stuck to his feet, showing his bright big eyes, and said to him in a baby voice: "Lanlan, hold me, hold me."
Lu Yi glanced at him, and finally picked him up helplessly.
The little ball curled up in his arms, like a warm little stove.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to rest for a while." Lu Yi rubbed his furry head.
Paso said nothing.
After a long time, Lu Yi heard Paso's soft voice.
"Tran, will you always stay with me? Will Tran always stay with Paso?"
Lu Yi sighed and said gently: "Tran will always be with Paso."
At least he was willing to stay with Paso until the situation stabilized.
Just think of it as watching him ascend the throne on behalf of his brother.
Paso moved slightly in his arms.
The author has something to say:
I want it! Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses! (Inflatable biscuit) (Hands on hips)
Thirty Seconds of Literature
Lu Yi, in the thirty seconds when you held the little wolf, were you thinking about your brother Astor who has mermaid blood, or the furry little wolf Paso in your arms, or Ares who fed you divine blood a long time ago?
A little boy asked if Paso was a slicer.
Well, no (cool and cool with sunglasses)
61 baby is a popular guy, isn't it normal for him to have many admirers?! It would be boring if all of them were tops
And although my wives are saying that they like Paso now, I can guarantee that when the map changes, you will say that you like the Elf Prince/Mermaid Wizard/Dragon...
I have seen through you (crooked smile.jpg)
What is this? Wife! I posted it!
