As a superior, the old king preferred his generous eldest son George, thinking that he was a very wise monarch.
Therefore, before his death, the old king passed on his throne to his beloved eldest son George.
Of course, the vision of the old king was not wrong. Since George became the new king, he has governed the country more prosperously and prosperously by virtue of his generous style.
Over the years, country K has enjoyed peace and prosperity, with a prosperous economy and people living and working in peace and contentment. Both the economy and the quality of the people have been raised to a new level.
The peaceful life passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the new king George became the old king, and he was also slashed by the silent steel knife of time, becoming weak and sick.
Fortunately, George's son Luke has grown up gradually and has become a big guy who can take charge of himself. As early as three years ago, at the age of eighteen, he was named the new crown prince.
But I don’t know if it’s because God saw that the life of the old King George was too smooth. Suddenly one day, Luke, who was the prince, suddenly disappeared in K country.
He disappeared so suddenly that no matter how old King George searched the whole kingdom, he was not found.
Not only that, but Luke's beloved fiancée Yi Xing also disappeared.
Gradually, rumors began to spread among the people. Some people said that Prince Luke was drowned by huge waves at sea because he was sailing with his fiancee on a boat.
Some people say that Luke took his fiancée Wing Star to explore the remote border Goddess Peak, and was swallowed by the beast there.
No matter what kind of argument it is, in short, the ending of Prince Luke does not seem to be very good.
These rumors gradually reached the ears of King George, which made his already frail body even more unbearable, almost lingering and sick all day long.
But George did not give up, but let his men continue to search for the whereabouts of Prince Luke.
Now that he is old, he is no longer the high-spirited appearance of the past, and there is not much time left for him. He must find his only son before the end of his life.
In this way, in the endless search, another three years passed in the blink of an eye.
But Prince Luke never showed up, like a wave sinking into the sea, and has never been heard from since.
"Cough, cough..." George tried to sit on the cold throne, covering his mouth with his hands and coughing continuously.
He didn't want to come to the hall at first, but just now he heard that someone saw his only son Luke near the Goddess Peak. This news made George very excited, so he dragged his sick body and walked over.
Before the sound of George's cough fell, a tall figure stepped out from the hall.
The man was full of beards, with a bit of unruly fierceness in his eyes, he arched casually and said, "King, you are inconvenient, so you don't have to worry about these things too much. I will let you find Prince Luke." it is good."
George removed his palm from his mouth and closed it into a fist.
There was some salty damp there, and he didn't even need to look to know it was blood.
George glanced at the officials standing below, knowing better than anyone else that he must not let anyone know about his physical condition.
Now that he is still alive, these people are afraid of his status as king.
Once I really have some problems, I am afraid that the only son who has disappeared for many years will never come back!
Especially the one who spoke just now is George's younger brother Paul.
Although Paul looked respectful, in fact George knew better than anyone else his long-awaited ambition.
Since ascending to the throne of the king, Paul has become an enemy with himself, and has been looking for opportunities to wait for opportunities.
If he hadn't been working hard all these years, he might have been overthrown by the ambitious Paul.
Even the disappearance of his only son Luke, George suspected that Paul had something to do with it!
It's just that he has no evidence yet, and his physical fitness has been poor, so he has no energy to deal with Paul and his gang.
The tall Paul stood below, waiting for the king's response.
Before George could answer for a long time, Paul frowned dissatisfiedly, and said in a low voice, "King? Did you hear what I said? Since you are not in good health, let me handle the matter of finding the prince!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" George coughed again, covered the blood in his mouth with his hands, and then looked calmly at the glaring Paul, "What? Is it because I was sick that you forgot that being a courtier should have The demeanor and sincerity? The search for Luke must never be changed, and I will never... cough cough... I will not let anyone do it for me!"
George said this sentence very seriously, even coughing repeatedly, he still put on a majestic demeanor, so that Paul had to kneel on one knee.
Paul lowered his head, hid the dissatisfaction and hostility in his eyes, and said insincerely, "King, please calm down. This is not what I mean. I also ask the king to put your body first. I am afraid that the search for the prince will make you more tired." .”
"You don't need to worry about it. As long as I have breath, I will never let Luke wander away!"
As George said, he waved his hands weakly, "Okay, you all go down, there is no need to hold a court meeting if there is nothing important."
After saying this, George stood up tremblingly from the cold throne, accompanied by his guards, and slowly left the hall.
He just walked straight in front of Paul, who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't ask him to get up until he walked out the door.
Paul knelt on the ground on one knee, gnashing his teeth in hatred: This damn old thing, wanting to humiliate him one more time after living one more day is simply unbearable!
When George was gone, a few courtiers who were good at taking pictures came out immediately and helped Paul up from the ground, "Oh, my lord prince, the ground is so cold, how can you keep kneeling on the ground?"
"Yes, my lord prince, originally you were helping the country to solve problems, but now it's your fault, I feel sorry for you!"
"That's right, the prince has been lost for so many years, and the king's health is not good, but his temper is stubborn. At this time, he should hand over all the power to the prince!"
These few courtiers were chattering, and they almost said that Paul would directly inherit the throne and become the new king.
The more Paul heard it, the angrier he became, and he pushed these people away angrily, "Enough! Don't quarrel in front of me anymore, what should I do, this prince knows better than anyone else!"
The few people who were scolded were pushed and staggered, but none of them dared to say anything more, they only looked at Paul's face dutifully.
Paul didn't even look at them, but fixed his eyes on the luxurious throne, with undisguised greed and covetousness in his eyes.
