Sixteen years ago, when the original owner was two years old, Xie Teming traveled through time and space and became the original owner's uncle. However, he was very dissatisfied with this because he did not want to be just a powerless nobleman after traveling to another world.
To make matters worse, despite his magical powers, he is only average in a world full of powerful magicians.
However, Xie Teming firmly believed that he was the king destined to rule the world, so he began to look for various ways to improve his magical abilities.
Finally, he found a way, which was to learn dark magic, and he found that dark magic was more powerful than other common magics.
This new discovery sparked his deep interest in dark magic and made him determined to study it in depth.
Finally, Xie Teming decided to go to the Magic City secretly to make a deal with the sealed Shadow Demon King.
He promised the Demon King that if the Demon King could help him ascend the throne, he would kill the little prince and find a way to lift the seal on the Demon King so that they could rule the entire magical continent together.
The devil gladly accepted Xie Teming's proposal and taught him his unique dark magic. From then on, Xie Teming embarked on a path of no return and gradually fell into the abyss of darkness.
So fifteen years ago, when the original owner was only three years old, on the night after he had selected his knights, Xie Teming began to implement his long-planned plan.
First, he dismissed all the people in his manor, and then cordially invited the original owner and his family to dinner. At this time, the king and queen did not know that their beloved brother had been replaced, and knew nothing about his brother's conspiracy, so they happily accepted the invitation without any precautions.
When they entered the manor, they were already trapped in the magic circle carefully arranged by Xie Teming.
To make matters worse, they drank a poisonous potion secretly put in by Xie Teming. By the time the king noticed something was wrong, it was too late.
They had all been poisoned. This poison was not an ordinary poison, but came from the Magic City. Even drinking magic potions could not detoxify it.
But the king still summoned his magic wand and started a life-and-death duel with Xie Teming, just to buy precious time for his family to escape.
However, when the queen picked up the original owner and tried to escape, she was shocked to find that they had been imprisoned in this strange magic circle and could not escape.
What was even more terrifying was that this magic circle emitted a strong demonic energy, rendering any teleportation magic ineffective and unable to take them away.
At this moment, the queen also realized that the other party had made a deal with the devil. Now they were all poisoned by the poisonous potion and might not be able to leave here alive.
But the queen still didn't want to give up, at least to keep their baby son alive. So the queen, who was a wizard, sacrificed all her magic, gathered it into the magic ball, tore a rift in time and space that could only pass one person, and threw the original owner into it.
The queen, who had done all this, spat out a mouthful of blood, endured the severe pain in her body, and cast a puppet magic to create a lifelike replica of the original owner and held it in her arms.
After completing all this, the queen calmly fell to the ground and closed her eyes. At this moment, the king's life also came to an end.
As the lives of the two men faded, the magic weapon that symbolized the magician's identity also dissipated.
When Xie Teming found the queen, he saw that the two were already dead. The dummy little prince held in the queen's arms was also vomiting black blood, obviously died of poisoning.
So, the next morning, when the people woke up from their sleep and stepped onto the streets, they were shocked by the scene before them. Earl Xie Teming's manor had turned into ruins!
People gathered around in horror, their hearts filled with confusion and worry.
However, when they entered the ruins, they discovered a heartbreaking scene: their king, queen and lovely little prince were all dead.
This news hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, making them unable to accept such a cruel fact.
At this moment, a man suddenly discovered that Earl Xie Teming was still alive, but his physical condition was extremely poor.
The Earl's body was covered with hideous wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood, which was unbearable to look at.
He seemed to be on his last breath, as if he would die at any moment. If the rescuers had arrived a step later, the count would have died too.
Faced with this tragic scene, everyone burst into tears and felt extremely heavy-hearted. Finally, Earl Xie Teming used up his last bit of strength to reveal some information to the people around him.
It turned out that the monsters in the magic city escaped last night, and in order to protect the country and the people, the king and queen fought a thrilling battle with the monsters at all costs.
In the end, the king and queen successfully killed the monster at the cost of their own lives.
Hearing this truth, everyone was filled with reverence. They knew that the king and queen had protected the country and its people with their own lives, and their heroic deeds would be forever engraved in people's hearts.
"I just wanted to invite my brother and the others to dinner. I didn't expect that a monster would hunt the little prince."
"My brother and his companions gave the little prince to me to subdue the monster and asked me to take him away, but the monster released poisonous gas. The little prince and I were both poisoned..."
"I thought I could protect my nephew, but he was too young, and the monster's poison was too strong. Before I could save him, he was poisoned and died..."
When the people in the city learned the truth, they couldn't help but cry and expressed regret.
But the city cannot be without a king, so the king's younger brother, Earl Xie Teming, successfully ascended the throne and became the new generation king of Saint Ka City.
