Chapter 122： Ripped skin (1/2)

? Haiyuan calendar year 1502, January 1st.

The beginning of the new year

In every world, every kingdom basically has the habit of celebrating the New Year, which may be called differently, but in fact it is the same.

Similarly, the Kingdom of Saint Martin was also caught in the New Year's carnival. It was rare for Arthur to put down his things and accompany the family to enjoy the New Year's atmosphere.

And most of the countries in the West Sea also entered the joyous atmosphere of the New Year.

However, except for the Kingdom of Oga.

Although it is Chinese New Year, the civilians in China don't feel any joy.

In the past year, the domestic life has changed from calm and serene to chaos.

The person who caused this kind of life is also the person who makes them love and hate, the general of the kingdom, Stankey!

What hates him is that he provokes the Kingdom of Saint Martin, which causes the kingdom to pay huge compensation for this.

This huge indemnity eventually led to the emptiness of the national treasury. In order to be able to pay the heavenly gold and subsequent war indemnities, the kingdom had to increase taxes.

Take money out of civilians to fill this hole.

This also caused the life of civilians to become difficult for a time.

What he loves is that with the strong support of the king, he controls all the soldiers and horses of the kingdom, and bought a large amount of arms and armed forces from an arms dealer named Ghost Fire at a very cheap price, and he succeeded in less than three months. Within time, the rebellion in the kingdom ended.

Although the population of the kingdom has dropped from 400,000 to more than 330,000, the kingdom has been stabilized again, and the civilians do not have to worry about fear every day for fear of being affected by the war.

However, the kingdom has settled down, but the fight for the throne has not stopped!

After quelling the rebellion, the previously ill King Kapef became more and more ill. Until now, he has not had a court meeting for more than half a month, and the doctor is by his side all the time.

Everyone in the kingdom knew that the king's body was exhausted, and he was almost unable to support it, and he only had a four-year-old daughter.

In this case, the ministers in the kingdom stand in line, either the king’s third brother, Prince Sapir, or the king’s fourth brother, Prince Kaffler, you come and I will fight endlessly!

Of course, there are also daughters who support the king, but very few, most of them are Prince Sapir and Prince Kafler.

Because these two are now the most likely to inherit the throne in the kingdom, after all, Perona is really too small, and the others are almost all destroyed by Stankey's rebellion!

However, as a general, Stankey has not revealed his attitude.

Although both parties have made major commitments, he did not clearly express who he supported except for visiting the king every day. He even stood by on the sidelines of the struggle between the two sides, neither participating nor favoring anyone.

”Cough, cough, cough!” Kapef was lying on the bed in the dormitory, coughing constantly, his face was very pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked very sick.

”Da da da!”

At this moment, a waiter came in and said respectfully, ”Your Majesty, General Stankey is here!”

”Ahem, let him in!” Kapef said with a hoarse voice, weakly.

”Yes!” The waiter nodded and turned to leave.

After a while, Stankey walked in quickly.

He walked to Kapf's side, held Kapf's hand tightly, and said with concern, ”Your Majesty, how are you today, you have to get better soon, so as to lead us to develop and grow the kingdom!”

”Haha!” Kapef looked at this look of Stankey, and suddenly smiled without warning.

”Your Majesty?” Stankey looked at Capeff inexplicably.

”November 29th, the city gate guard, December 3rd, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, December 7th, the commander of the Palace Guards” Kapef stared at Stankey and slowly said one Dates and positions.

Listening to what he said, Stankey let go of Kapf's hand, and the care on his face slowly became indifferent.

”It turns out that Your Majesty found it!” Stankey said with a light smile.

”If I don't find out again, then after I die, won't the kingdom change hands inexplicably!” Kapf said coldly.

”Haha! Even if your majesty does not die, the kingdom will change hands!” Stankey said unceremoniously, with his skin torn apart.

Hearing this, Kapef was silent, he knew that what Stankey said was true!

The current Stankey controls the nation’s military strength. Don’t look at his third and fourth brothers fighting for life and death, but in fact, they don’t have the slightest military strength, they are just the meat on the board. As long as Stankey thinks, It can be killed at any time.

”What do you want?” Kapef hesitated and said in a hoarse voice.

”As long as your Majesty cooperates with us and allows us to enter the Oga Kingdom in a fair way, then we can meet your requirements before death!” Stankey said in a deep voice.

”Wait, we?” Kapef frowned and looked at Stankey suspiciously.

He always believed that Stankey wanted to become a king. After all, after mastering all the soldiers and horses of the kingdom, Stankey, who stood at the peak of the kingdom's power, was normal to want to go further. There were also many examples of success at the top.

And this sentence aroused many conjectures of Kapef.
