Chapter 58 Am I not a human being?
In the grand meeting hall, a solemn and tense atmosphere filled every corner of the air. Gorgeous chandeliers hung on the high dome, illuminating the magnificent venue below.
Today is destined to be a special day for everyone. At this moment, some people are happy, some are worried, some are watching the show with expressionless faces, and some have anger in their eyes, wishing to tear the sanctimonious Engel next to Queen Skylar to pieces. inside.
But obviously in this situation, no one can stand up and say anything, let alone overturn the long-established facts in a few words at this moment.
Although Skylar is kind, that doesn't mean no one respects her. Even if she was so weak at the moment that she was hunched over to endure the discomfort, no one would take this opportunity to express their inner dissatisfaction.
"Today, I will give you the crown, Engri."
A faint smile appeared on Skylar's face, and she looked at her eldest son with a strong sense of pride in her eyes.
"May you lead our country to prosperity with wisdom and courage."
Skylar's voice echoed in the council hall. Every word was vain, but at the same time very powerful.
Engri, whose heart was filled with joy, had already walked up to her. He was slightly possessed and put on the golden crown with the help of Skylar, but just as he was about to stand up and move forward After a few steps, he accidentally missed the step and fell to the ground on the spot.
The crown rolled gurglingly on the ground, and along with Engri's fallen body, Sirius's harsh mocking voice sounded.
"Hahahaha~"
Time in the entire meeting hall seemed to have frozen, and everyone stared at the scene in front of them in stunned silence.
Not only was he surprised that Engri would fall down at this time, after all, such an accident just after putting on the crown was an ominous sign no matter how you looked at it.
They were also very surprised, as was the second prince Sirius, who was standing in the crowd and was laughing so hard.
Wait, why is this scene so familiar?
If everyone else present was either angry or scared, then the most shocked and unacceptable person in the room should be Nalia herself.
She herself had barely woken up after being in a coma due to mental exhaustion. At this time, her energy had not yet returned to normal levels. At this moment, when she saw Sirius's voice, it was so familiar that it could even be said to echo in her nightmares every night. After the laughter, she finally lost her balance and fell back.
But fortunately, Hannah was standing next to her at this moment. As the leader of the Thirteen Knights of the Empire, she was still barely qualified to enter here, so when she realized something was wrong, she immediately hugged Nalia's shoulders. Let Nalia fall to the ground.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
"I...I..."
Nalia's original cold expression had completely disappeared at this moment. She looked at Sirius who was being pointed at by a group of people, and suddenly felt a heart attack. Feeling of pain.
So...has it always been him?
Why she didn't tell herself her identity no longer requires analysis at this moment, because from the beginning to the end, in the eyes of her imperial brother, she may have been an evil woman who didn't believe him, who wished him dead before she died, and who wanted to use him after her death. Bar.
"Sirius! Why are you laughing?!" What
everyone expected was that the person who roared and questioned was not Skylar, the highest-ranking person in the council hall, but the person who was already furious and wanted to rush up and kill Sirius. Engri torn to pieces.
He couldn't bear it anymore. In his eyes, Sirius was a disaster, the pedal that he had to trample on his corpse. He was the knife and Sirius was the fish. What he wanted to do was to smash this hateful brother to pieces. The corpse was cut into thousands of pieces, skinned and cramped.
The "Sirius" in front of him has completely overlapped with the person from a month ago. No matter how much he loses his mind, it is impossible not to recognize that this is his younger brother.
"What am I laughing at?"
Sirius scolded the button in his mind, and explained in a dumbfounded voice, "I don't know, I don't know what I'm laughing at. Maybe... I'm laughing at you, right? Haha..."
No Do you know what you are laughing at?
Nalia selectively listened to the first half of the words, feeling a little ridiculous in her heart. But this "ridiculous" sentence was not meant for Sirius, but for himself and the entire royal family. So who forced him to be like this? The three siblings who were brothers and sisters ten years ago have now ended up like this?
Mutual distrust and suspicion.
But...what did Sirius do wrong from beginning to end? He was all wronged!
Nalia took a few deep breaths, then stabilized her body with Hannah's help, and walked towards Skylar with self-motivation in anxiety.
She didn't dare to look at the grief in her mother's eyes, but she knew it was time for her to stand up and turn everything around.
"Mother, my daughter has something to say today."
"Nalia, what do you want to say?!"
Engli felt something bad when he saw Nalia coming up. He rushed towards her without caring about his image. When he came up, he didn't look like an imperial prince at all.
"Engri, you framed your brother Siris, and then after you exiled him to Ankh, you joined forces with Lord Luther to disfigure and kill him.
Then you wanted to find a civilian to replace his appearance. Everything, this is all you have been planning these days!"
The whole crowd was in an uproar.
Engli's face turned green and red. He wanted to point out that he had not slandered Sirius, but what happened next was all his fault.
Skylar's eyes were also full of disbelief. She kept coughing and wanted to ask herself about this eldest son who had always satisfied her, but she couldn't say a word.
And just when Engri was about to say something, he didn't expect that Jim, who was anxious to show off in front of Sirius, suddenly ran over and said a bunch of words under his expectant gaze that made him turn pale.
"I prove...from beginning to end! I followed the orders of the eldest prince and did many things in an attempt to murder the second prince!
But I really didn't dare to do it. After all, my subordinates felt that the empire treated me badly. I couldn't do it for The immediate interests betrayed my own beliefs and the royal family. And the innocent second prince died without a name!
So I, together with Luther, the lord of Anka, deliberately put on a show and pretended to be the second prince in front of the eldest prince. The prince is already dead, just to wait for one day to make this known to the public!
Including more than an hour ago, the eldest prince ordered me to use mind control magic to control the princess to assassinate the queen. This also explains why there is a second prince in the room to protect the queen. The traces of the fight between His Majesty and the Princess also explain why they both fainted on the ground from exhaustion in the end!"
When Engri heard that Jim was actually backstabbing at this time, he couldn't help but get so angry that he vomited blood.
He couldn't understand why everyone suddenly stood against him. It was Sirius who had done evil things! Isn't he doing harm to the people? !
Not far away, Sirius, who had been laughing wildly just now, slowly stopped laughing.
In fact, from Sirius's perspective, he had no idea why he was just forced to laugh at Engri a few times, and suddenly a bunch of "decent" people all sided with him.
Wait... Why does it feel like he is the real villain?
As this feeling became stronger and stronger, Sirius found that the world in his eyes began to change dramatically, as if he could see the fluctuations of all magical elements in the world, and could easily drive them and use them.
At the same time, Engli yelled at him crazily:
"Sirius! Are you still a human?! You distort black and white, do you still deserve to be a human being?!!"
Sirius suddenly remembered that he had pressed the button before A button that has never worked so far:
[Press this button and you will gain magical talents that exceed human limits. ]
[But this kind of talent will only appear when you are completely inhumane. 】
ah? Is this okay?
