Chapter 29: Memories of Barea III (1)
. "You mean, more than 20,000 hell creatures have fled to various parts of the empire?" Baria III was shocked.
"Yes, Father. When our battle was fierce, these remaining hell creatures suddenly became in chaos and fled everywhere. I was determined to go to the imperial capital, so I ignored them and asked my father to punish him," Tina took two steps forward and said.
"How could you be wrong? Get up quickly!" Baria III immediately pulled Tina up and sighed and said, "You have received the summoning order issued by the purple gold suit. You have been fighting for several days, and you have been sleepless and rushing to the imperial capital. This matter is already difficult for you. You don't know about the escape of hell creatures. Who would have expected that Ron could force Martin to terminate the contract that day!"
Tina sighed slightly, but stood up.
"Sir, then Martin, what exactly?" she hesitated for a moment before asking.
"He ran away again. I just received the news that he is no longer within the Barria Empire, but has arrived at a hidden valley in his neighboring country. Now he is not in danger yet," Barria III added a sentence at the end.
After listening to Tina and Sith, they were extremely complicated in their hearts.
No matter how big the matter is, Martin is still their relatives. This is an unchangeable fact. Even if he is not the biological son of Baria III, he is also their uncle, and the son of Baria III's brother, he is still the authentic royal bloodline.
Moreover, the three of them grew up together since childhood. Although their relationship is in harmony now, they have that friendship when they were young and have always stayed in their hearts.
But Ron, who was standing by, was thinking about another thing. He was amazed at the intelligence ability of Baria III, and he had inquired about Martin's whereabouts so clearly in such a short time.
How smart Baria III was, naturally he could see Ron's expression at a glance. He didn't want to leave a suspicious image for this future duke with endless potential. Naturally, he smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. Since I discovered Martin's abnormality many years ago, I have been lurking around Martin. I have always known Martin's actions. But people like Sith and Tina don't have to worry about me."
A thought suddenly flashed through Ron's mind and blurted out, "Is it Monroe?"
Baria III was stunned, with a strange color flashing in her eyes and said to Ron: "You can guess that it seems that Martin is really unfortunate to meet you."
Ron said admiringly: "It turns out that Your Majesty has made arrangements long ago, and Martin is really defeated."
It turned out that Ron had just heard from the Sith that when he was young, there were four people in Baria III, who were both loyal subordinates and friends, and jointly managed the Baria Empire and formed an extremely powerful combination. Among these four people, the magician Curry and Evans, as well as the ninth-level warrior Nicholas, have been around Baria III, but one person is missing.
Ron looked at the entire Baria Empire, the only level nine master no longer around Baria III was the only one Monroe. Ron had fought with him before, but at that time he felt that the man did not want to kill, so he asked this question.
Baria III said: "It is thanks to you this time that we have reduced Martin's harm to the minimum. Now the Duke's position is just a small reward. The purple gold suit in Tina and I will one day be inherited by you and the Sith!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sith and Ron were both surprised. They looked at each other and were a little at a loss.
"I am old, and after seeing you, I feel more and more that the situation in the Baria Empire may be because of my indecisiveness and hesitation in the inheritance of the royal power, which makes me so turbulent and uneasy," said Baria III.
"Your Majesty, you are also trying to examine the two princes more clearly." The great magician Curry on the side saw that the king was in a little depressed, so he persuaded him.
Baria III waved his hand and said, "Old friend, all this has passed, and it's time for me to confirm the royal power. Originally, because of Martin's biological father, my brother, I always had a vague idea in my heart, wanting Martin to inherit the power, which can make up for my inner regret. But now it seems that my thoughts are too naive, and Martin still embarks on a path of no return."
Ron and others didn't say anything, but they always had a mystery in their hearts, which was what the story of Baria III and his brother was, and was the truth that Martin told?
Baria III said again: "I know you are all thinking about my brother and me. As the secret of the royal family, this matter has been covered by me for nearly twenty years. For twenty years, I have always been paying attention to any possible factors, hoping to bury this matter forever with my brother's remains. But now it is still exposed, and it is said in front of the entire empire. Now it is known to everyone in the world. This may be the will of the gods. The more you want to cover up, the more you want to be exposed."
He sighed softly when he said this, and slowly walked to the throne with the help of Tina and Sith. At this time, he did not look like an emperor who dominated the world, but like a tired old man suffering from wind and frost. It can be seen that this secret still had an extremely profound impact on him.
"As you know, my brother Jose has never married and has no children in his life in the records of the royal family. But in fact, he still has a son, that is Martin," Barria III sat on the throne and said slowly to the main ministers in the hall.
This is full of core figures of the Barria Empire, covering various civilian officials from the military, including Tina, Sith, Ron and others. At this time, the king said this, and naturally he was preparing to tell everyone the secret.
"Martin was born a few years later than Tina and Sith. At that time, I had you two, and Jose had always claimed to be single and obsessed with studying magic.
In fact, everyone is not sure what magic he is studying, and even I don’t know at the beginning. But he has been simplifying the details and there are no abnormal accidents. The entire royal family has adopted a tolerant attitude towards him. After all, such things have existed in many countries on the Magic Continent. Jose has devoted all his attention to magic research. He has no idea about the royal power, so naturally he has no intention of getting married and having children.
Such days lasted for many years, and I was designated as the next king. One day, when I visited him in the palace, I accidentally discovered that a maid next to him was pregnant.
At that time, I thought it was just because of the personal affair between the guards, so I wanted to ask the facts and handle the matter properly so that the maid and the child's father could not take care of my brother's diet and daily life.
But after I was careful and inquired, I found out that the maid was pregnant with my brother's child!
This incident shocked me and my father, the king of Baria II at that time. He was also extremely confused and puzzled. He was not sure why his brother, who was obsessed with magic, had such an affair with a woman. But he didn't mean to be angry. Even if the matter was not glorious, it was also a happy event for his brother. Maybe he would change his brother's life habits and free him from the state of magic research. After all, his father was dissatisfied with his brother's approach. He always hoped that his brother could live an ordinary life, marry and have children, and also allow him to enjoy more family joy.
So the matter was secretly concealed, and the maid was taken good care of, waiting for the child to be born, so that they could live a family life with their brother. At that time, we even agreed on many things, such as how to announce this to the people, how to grant the maid the identity of a princess to the maid, etc.
My brother was very concerned about the maid at the beginning, and often went to check her condition and took care of her very carefully, as if she had changed. When I saw my brother's change, I was really happy for him.
But when the maid gave birth, something that my father and I couldn't predict happened.
After the child was born, my brother focused all his attention on the child and never looked at the maid again, which surprised us. Although he reminded him a few words, he still didn't take it seriously and just looked at his own child. I thought it was because he had his first son too happy and not too much attention, but he also had a little worry because the look he looked at the child was like looking at a newly developed perfect magic.
In order to be afraid that he would do something, I sent someone to take care of him and the child every day. One night, someone came to tell me that my brother seemed to have brought the child to his magic laboratory, as if he was going to do some magic experiment.
I was shocked and ran to the laboratory as soon as possible. But the laboratory was closed and I couldn't get in. Even when I stood outside, I felt an evil and powerful fluctuation coming to this place. In order to worry about the safety of him and the child, I finally fought all my might and broke through the window of the laboratory and broke in.
The scene inside surprised me. My brother actually put the newborn child in a magic circle. The magic circle had been activated halfway, and the child's palms and soles were stabbed in a hole, and blood was constantly flowing out, soaking the entire magic circle. The child was crying loudly, his face full of pain.
But his brother was standing there, holding a bloody thorn in his hand, with a frenzy look on his face."
