Chapter 72 Funny and Sad

"How dare you! You are alive only because of my mercy. How dare you, guards, guards!"

The old lion thought about his own death and thought of many possible ways of dying.

But he had thought about dying of old age, being executed for participating in a rebellion, or dying in an assassination attempt.

But the only thing he never thought about was that he would die here.

Such an dishonourable death.

It was not because of family, not because of interests, and not because of anything else. Just because she gave birth to a dwarf, she was shot to death on the toilet by the other party!

It's unacceptable, even just thinking about it is unacceptable.

The old lion wanted to do something. He was a Sequence Six Transcendent, and this damn dwarf was just an ordinary blacksmith.

Even if the guards hadn't been called, he could have killed him!

But when he wanted to do something, the old lion found that his body and nerves were wailing.

He could even feel something growing inside his body.

Using his flesh and blood as nutrients to grow.

At the same time, he felt a stinging pain in the palm of his hand. He looked down and saw that his hand, which had just been scratched by the barb and failed to pull out the arrow, was now covered with tiny blood-red vines.

They are full of thorns, growing in his body, nourished by flesh and blood.
"Rose Crossbow? You got the Rose Crossbow? I'm your father! How could you use such a vicious weapon on me? Ah, ah!"

Under the rule of the Mad Blood Moon, the blood nobles developed the Rose Crossbow and the matching crossbow arrows called Flesh and Blood Thorns for fun.

The former brings powerful attack power, while the latter causes great pain to the prey and relies on flesh and blood thorns to delay the death of the prey as much as possible.

They devour flesh and blood, yet briefly sustain the life of their prey.

"You are not my father. You have not been my father since you killed my mother and threw me out like garbage."

"Tilly, forgive me, forgive me. I had no choice at the time. I am the master of the Lion Family, and I must consider the reputation of the Lion Family."

"Otherwise, why would I let you go? It's because I still love you, my son. Help me, I can't die. The Lion Family is at a critical juncture now."

The great physical pain made the old lion quickly change his words.

He doesn't want to die, but he can't just die like this.

But Tilly was unmoved by this. He just moved a chair and watched the old lion die quietly.

After realizing that his illegitimate son would not let him go.

The old lion lowered his head as much as possible in great pain and begged Tilly:

"At least let me put on some pants. At least let me die somewhere else. The living room or the study can be fine, but definitely not here."

"You are my son. For the sake of our common blood, please let me die somewhere else!"

It was acting before, and then I had to control this damn dwarf after wanting to survive.

And now, he was really begging.

The nobles could not accept such an insult.

He is the patriarch of the Lion family. Even if he dies, he should die in a way that is more suitable for his status. Poisoning or beheading will do, but this ridiculous way of death must not be the best.

He will become a laughing stock for thousands of years!
A duke was shot to death on the toilet by a dwarf with his naked butt.

This is so ridiculous and so sad.

Tilly laughed:

"This is the right way to die, you bastard."

"You defiled my mother, and then killed her because of your mistake!"

The old lion opened his mouth. He knew there was no way back, so he asked one last question:
"How did you get in? Tell me, that's all I have."

Tilly, who was sitting on a chair, said:

"A gentleman was dissatisfied with your shameful act of colluding with the Abyss, so he found me. He used the ancient relics that your ancestors had found to open a secret passage in this fortress for me." Tilly did not say who the gentleman was.

But the old lion saw the answer at the end of his life:

"Westeros?"

"I do not know."

"It must be him, the one who fooled all of us."

The old lion could never utter the last character.

Because Tilly shot an arrow straight through his heart.

Looking at the old lion dead on the toilet, Tilly tried to make himself laugh.

After a moment, he shook his head in giving up.
-
The news of the old lion's death did not spread because the time was too critical.

So the Lion family who discovered this kept it secret.

They just notified the first heir who was still on the front line to come back first.

When the new lion, who was in his prime, saw his father died tragically on the toilet.

After a moment of shock, he lowered his head and bit his lips tightly.

He walked forward silently, took off his cloak and covered his father's cold and funny body with it.

This made everyone present kneel down on one knee to express their silence and loyalty to the new master.

Finally, the new lion knelt in front of his father and laughed silently.

The Anras Fortress had been successfully captured by the private soldiers of the Lion family. This not only prompted the other five families to respond, but even the coalition forces of the northern countries immediately headed south to attack the fortress as soon as they received the news.

With the supply line completely cut off by Anras.

The Glass Fortress is just an isolated city, no matter how indestructible it is, it can't hold on!
what does this mean?
This means that a new era is about to come.

And he, he will be the pioneer of all this, as the master of the Lion family!

Fantastic!

"We are trying to find out who is so bold as to do this."

Track down the murderer? No, how can that be possible?

I have to thank him!
"No, don't do anything."

"grown ups?"

“We can’t let anyone else notice anything unusual. Even if there is any news, we have to call in the shadow assassin to play the role of my father to let the allies and soldiers know that nothing has changed!”

"I understand, my lord."

In this case, we really can't make this matter public.

They also agreed with the new owner's approach.
-
At the same time, in Khazad-dum, the main city of the southern border.

Accompanied by the nobles from the southern border, Ai'er looked at the many envoys in front of him anxiously.

They all came from the northern countries and the other six dukes.

In the past, any of them were people that a small fry like her couldn't possibly reach.

But now, they all knelt respectfully before him, hoping that he would agree to form an alliance.

The peak power did not bring El any pleasure, she only felt uneasy.

Because it's all fake.

She could only believe the Queen's promise and proceed according to her arrangement.
She remembered that the Queen had said that when she returned to the South, the only thing she would have to do was to prevent the soldiers from the South from heading north.

She will take care of the rest.

Can this really be solved?
