MTL - Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 656 655. Cowardly old man
Chapter 656 655. Cowardly old man
According to the history that Aya learned, although King Uther is the eldest prince, his character is not liked by the old king, far less favored than his two younger brothers.
There are rumors that the old king plans to choose one of his two younger brothers to inherit the throne, and he does not intend to pass it to King Uther.
The rumor spread so well, and the old king did not deny it, so that the city was full of trouble.
Later, the old king died in a hurry without leaving a will. According to the rules, King Uther should inherit the throne.
But the other two princes didn't obey the rules, and secretly linked up with some court mages and nobles, promising huge profits, and staged a coup d'état one night.
King Uther was almost killed when he couldn't defend himself. At the critical moment, the macho Merlin Mage defeated King Uther's two younger brothers and helped him ascend the throne.
For the sake of the royal family's reputation, the history of this coup d'état is rarely rumored, and it is only recorded in the court.
Aya only found out about this after she became king.
It seems that things are very simple, just wait for the night of the coup to take action.
But the problem is that this history is not very detailed, and there are a lot of vague details, and vagueness is prone to accidents.
So how to do it specifically, still have to adapt to the situation, and you can't just copy history.
At this time, when the rumors were raging, almost the entire capital was discussing this matter.
Fang Zhou and Aya entered the city quietly, and came to the palace in disguise.
The Ark covered the entire palace with divine consciousness, and quickly found the target.
In the central hall, the old king is receiving the eldest prince Adams Pender.
The famous King Uther in the future is just a young man who looks weak.
The current King Uther is not called Uther. After he is registered, he will change his name to Uther Pendragon for some reason that even historians do not know.
Aya looked at her father in her youth, her eyes were slightly complicated, but she didn't have much emotion.
She had only met this father a few times before she was alive, and the two sides had never recognized each other.
King Uther didn't even know that his illegitimate daughter had become a soldier under his hands.
In the palace at this time, the old king was looking at the eldest son: "Have you heard all the recent rumors in the capital?"
Adams trembled all over, thinking that the old king was going to have a showdown with him.
He bent down slowly, and said in a low voice: "I have heard it. If this is His Majesty's will, then I have no objection."
The old king suddenly clenched the handle of the throne, and asked forcefully, "You don't feel wronged, don't you feel angry?"
Adams heard the anger in the old king's tone, and immediately lowered his head: "I didn't."
"No? No or dare not?"
Adams did not say a word, and seemed to choose the default.
The old king laughed angrily, picked up the scepter and threw it at Adams: "Go back, go back and use your head to think about what you should do as the first heir and the eldest son."
Adams didn't dare to hide, let the scepter hit him, then silently picked it up and put it aside, saluted the old king, turned and left, his back was full of loneliness.
The old king looked at the back of his eldest son and fell into deep thought. His aging face looked a little pale under the light.
Above the main hall, Fang Zhou and Aya looked at each other.
The situation seemed to be different from what was expected. The old king's tone was obviously that he hated iron but not steel.
And why is King Uther so cowardly?
After inheriting the throne, King Uther was considered wise and powerful, and he also managed the country in an orderly manner.
Fang Zhou and Aya thought they would see a calm and capable prince, but they didn't expect to see a timid young man.
It's strange that he has to be favored, no father would like his son to look cowardly.
"Is this the old man?"
Fang Zhou said to Aya: "Could it be that we have found the wrong person?"
Aya shook her head: "I'm not mistaken, I've seen a portrait of him when he was young."
Since you are right, why was the old man so cowardly when he was young? Could it be that he pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger?
Fang Zhou suspects that King Uther deliberately put on this appearance to show weakness and confuse the opponent.
His consciousness followed King Uther to leave the palace and returned to his bedroom. After retreating from the servants, he hid in the bedroom and wept silently.
Nima, you are really cowardly, not pretending.
Aya was also quite uncomfortable seeing her father's cowardly appearance: "Maybe he was stimulated by the coup, so his personality changed... right?"
This reason is quite far-fetched, and we can only wait and see.
The old king also recovered from his contemplation, slowly left the palace, and returned to his bedroom.
After dealing with official business for a while, the old king received a meeting request from the two little princes.
His face sank slightly, and after thinking for a while, he still called the two little princes in.
Seeing the two younger sons, the old king obviously smiled. He really liked the two lively and active sons, unlike the dull and silent eldest son.
After the father and son chatted amusingly for a while, the second prince suddenly asked: "Father, there is a rumor circulating in the capital recently, have you heard of it?"
The old king was slightly taken aback. He had long guessed the purpose of the two younger sons coming to see him so late.
But when he really saw the two young sons utter these tempting words, he still couldn't help but get angry.
But looking at the innocent faces of the two young sons, the old king still couldn't help but soften his heart.
He didn't get angry, but said in a deep voice: "Just do your part, don't listen to some messy rumors."
"But…"
The third prince was about to refute, but was pulled back by the second prince.
The two princes sullenly bid farewell to the old king.
When they came to the corridor outside the bedroom, the two couldn't wait to talk.
"Father, what does this mean? Do you want to deny it?"
"No, father should tell us to wait patiently, ignore the rumors outside, and announce when the time comes."
"That's right, the father likes us so much, he will definitely pass on the throne to me."
"You think beautifully, I am older than you, so it should be me."
"I'm more popular than you..."
Hearing the faint conversation of the two young sons coming from outside the bedroom, the old king couldn't help but let out a sigh.
At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded in the bedroom.
"Are you sure your method is effective?"
The old king looked up, and a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly appeared in the corner.
Goss Morgan, chief court mage, responsible for the safety of the old king.
The old king didn't say a word, and Morgan continued: "Using rumors to force the eldest son to fight, I don't think it's a good idea."
On the roof, Fang Zhou and Aya looked at each other.
The rumors circulating in the capital were actually released by the old king, in order to force King Uther to fight?
Judging from King Uther's performance today, the old king has to be disappointed.
