Cloriso knelt in the middle of the hall with his head down. The others had been suppressed, and the Renault family's industry and all the people were surrounded by the city guards. The news of the Renault family's rebellion and collusion with the undead to kill His Majesty Ares had spread throughout the royal city, and the people expressed great indignation about this. After all, Ares's reputation was still very high, and the prosperity of the Mermaid Sea was obvious to all.
"Your Majesty, please grant me death. The Renault family has betrayed your Majesty's trust. I deserve death!"
"Clorio, please get up."
After all, everyone else saw clearly what Colorio did from beginning to end. This young man opposed his father's behavior from the beginning and was almost kicked to death. His love for the princess and the royal family was evident, and in the end he even sacrificed his own family for the greater good.
"I dare not stand up."
"Clorisio, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if the son has to pay for the father's debt, your actions today have saved the last face for the Renault family. Today's matter ends here and it should be treated as if it never happened. As for the Renault family's property and title, they will all be inherited by you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you and make up for my crime!"
No one else could say anything about His Majesty Aries' decision. Although Xiao Guangtian wanted to add insult to injury, Colloriosio's performance was too exaggerated. He even stabbed his own father to death and saved two princesses... Even if something happened to the Renault family, it should have been offset.
The banquet ended in a bad mood. The whole city was under martial law and the necromancer was hunted down. There were also many aftermath matters to be dealt with. Caesar and his men were kept because of their outstanding performance and great contributions. His Majesty Aries and Queen Christina would personally entertain them.
Xiao family.
"Haha, that old fox Renault is finally dead. It's so damn nice. I haven't felt so nice in a long time. Now your marriage to Her Royal Highness the Princess is almost done. Although this kid Colorisio has performed well, there is no chance for him to marry the princess."
Returning to his own territory, Xiao Guangtian could not help but burst out laughing. One wrong move led to the loss of the whole game. He didn't know what medicine that old guy Renault had taken to make him believe in the undead, a dead body with no credibility at all.
Xiao Bote smiled as he watched his usually gentle father swearing loudly. Perhaps he had been holding it in for too long, and the opponent he had fought for a lifetime finally fell in front of him.
"Father, today's situation is very dangerous. If they hadn't underestimated our strength, it's hard to say who would win. Especially that Colorisio, he is really patient. He is so powerful but he pretends to be a playboy. His intentions are really sinister."
Xiao Guangtian slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking back, it was indeed very dangerous. Who would have thought that a few guys who were not afraid of corpse poison would emerge as a new force, and that girl Yisha Bei'er actually prepared a scroll in advance that was specifically designed to break undead spells.
It is true that man proposes, God disposes. Old man Renault is really unlucky.
"Those young men are good. Even though they are civilians, we should win them over if we can. Talents like them are rare."
"Father, the man called Caesar has been very close to the two princesses recently. Although he is a commoner, he always has an indescribable aura. To be honest, if you are with him, you will be suppressed or attracted by him unconsciously. Prince Kao of the Sheobei tribe is one of them. The people around him are very powerful."
Xiao Bote was very worried, especially about the performance of the two princesses. Just because he could accept Roye didn't mean he could accept Caesar. This was a matter of face for a noble. Today, Chlorio's performance had deeply stimulated him.
Xiao Guangtian suddenly glared at Xiao Bote very seriously, "Don't let your emotions cloud your mind. No matter how strong these people are, they can't be your competitors. Their births determine their fate. Even if he has something with the princess, it's impossible. Since there is no result, don't make trouble. You should pay attention to that little bastard Cloriso!"
"Father, isn't the Renault family finished?"
"I ask you to kill me, can you do it?" Xiao Guangtian suddenly asked.
Xiao Bote was obviously shocked by this frightening question and murmured, not knowing how to answer.
"No future!" Xiao Guangtian smiled disdainfully, "Do you think I don't know His Majesty's plan? It seems that he still doesn't want to give up the Renault family. Never mind, let's just forget about this matter, but you must pay attention to that kid Cloriso. This guy can even kill his own father in public, and he plays it so realistically. How can I not pay attention to such a person?"
Xiao Bote naturally understood what his father meant, and found it a little unbelievable, or rather, he didn't quite believe it.
Xiao Guangtian understood the young man's thoughts very well. "You, don't think you are so smart all day long. You are far worse than Clorisio in scheming. I can guarantee that everything was arranged from beginning to end. The old man Renault was afraid that the rebellion would fail, so he left this last way and used his own death in exchange for a chance to make a comeback. Haha, but I have to admire him. Even though he knew what was going on, he still fell for his trick."
Xiao Porter's face was very gloomy. It turned out that his defeated opponent, a guy who was often fooled by him, had actually climbed above him overnight. It seemed that his mentality of watching others laugh at him in the past must have been the opposite. Behind his back, this guy Cloriso must be laughing his ass off.
Xiao Guangtian patted his son's shoulder and said, "Potter, don't blame yourself. No matter what, today's incident is a fatal blow to the Renault family. As long as you can successfully marry the princess, hum, by then, we won't have to do anything, Aries will get rid of that guy for you. Your Majesty is probably still hesitating now."
"Father, please rest assured. After this incident, I will definitely remember this lesson!"
Xiao Bote's eyes also sparkled with excitement. The truly interesting battle had just begun...
Unlike the joyous atmosphere in the Xiao Mansion, Renault's mansion was dead silent. The matter did not end there. Although Cloriso inherited wealth and status, the family had to pay the price for this rebellion, and many family members had to be investigated in turn. Those who participated in planning the rebellion had to be executed. This was already a great blessing.
Chlorio sat alone in the back garden, motionless, looking at the moon on the bottom of the sea. The water moved, but his heart did not move, and there was even a faint smile on his face.
There was no sighing to the sky, no complaints, and even no threats of future revenge. He just sat there quietly, with a faint smile gradually returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Tonight is a sleepless night...
