For the Xipang people, the 16th year of the new millennium of the star ephemeral was a very turbulent and difficult year. In this year, the war launched by the Xipang army against the Eagle Kingdom was greatly defeated. The Eagle people won the next three Yanxing domains and gathered heavy troops to break through the eastern star field defense line of Xipang, forcing the Xipang army to retreat continuously and advance and occupy important strategic planets including Kalai, Anbao, and Park Cixington, and obtained a strategic bridgehead, completing the preparations for a large-scale general attack.

At the same time, the interior of Xipang was full of storms. Not only were a large number of officers being cleaned up, but people from important positions were constantly replaced, and the political situation was unstable, but Hemoding was seriously ill and retreated behind the scenes. The news of his death was shocked like a thunder waterfall.

This is the most turbulent news of this year.

Fortunately, the eldest prince Suktai had already taken charge of the government in advance, and the moment before Hemoding died of a heart attack, Suktai was still listening to his instructions on matters. According to the notice from the palace, Hemoding seemed to know that he was not much time and had explained many political affairs to him. When Hemoding was sick, several doctors in Wuyou Palace arrived at the first time, trying to save Hemoding's life, but unfortunately it was useless. He could only announce that Hemoding had completely passed away at midnight.

Hemoding, who made Xipang stronger but dragged the west side into the quagmire of war, died like this. The new king, Suktai, who was chosen by him, then succeeded him with the constitutional effect. He handled the government affairs left by Hemoding on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to give Hemoding a state funeral ceremony.

During this process, he met with the most core members of the royal family.

Princess Joses looked haggard and cried many times because of Hemodin's death. Sukine's eyes were also red. During the whole process, he tried to look at Suktai, but Suktai's eyes kept flashing and did not have any contact with him.

Suktai kept saying the predetermined words until the end. The four clerks responsible for recording these stood up and left the audience room, leaving the three brothers and sisters behind. Suktai patted Joses, who was extremely sad in a black skirt. When he was about to leave, Sukyin suddenly called him, "Suktai! Can you explain these things?"

Joses turned his head and looked at his second brother in confusion, then looked at Suktai, with a puzzled look, but he felt something vaguely, and his heart tightened.

"The day before you went to see your father, I received his summons." Sukine said.

Josez looked at Sukin in shock, because everyone knew that Hemoding disliked the second brother the most, and what would it mean if his father summoned him for the first time?

"Is that right?" Suktai, who was at the door, stopped and turned his head. There was no blood around his eyes, making his face look like two black fogs. "What did he say to you?"

"He told me that because of your recklessness, he planned to remove your position of governing. He told me to let me save this country on his behalf... in my way, to save this country." Sukine said, "So you can explain to me why he suddenly fell ill and died when he met you the next night after summoning me to say these words to me."

Joses pressed his lips tightly and stared at Sukte with an incredible gaze.

Suktai smiled, his smile touched the muscles of his face, causing ugly folds to pile up on the wings where his cheekbones were. "So what you mean is, why didn't your father announce the absurd imagination before his death? On the contrary, I, the person with the most orthodox inheritance, shouldn't inherit the throne and take over this country?"

"Sukeyin, are you crazy? Or are you immersed in your own hallucination and unable to extricate yourself?" Suketai spread his hands and looked at Joses, "Is our father such a person? Will he call Sukeyin, whose usual ideas are contrary to him, and tell him to save this country in a pleading tone? What does it mean? Is he hopeless? It's ridiculous... The great emperor Hemoding actually admitted that the country he manages is full of holes and wants people to save it, and this person is you, Sukeyin! A big joke!"

Joses's beautiful eyes stared ahead, but he was confused and had no focus.

Intuitively, she felt that her second brother was angry from the beginning, and this anger exploded at this time. The things he said were undoubtedly bolt from the blue for her and it was hard to accept, but she thought that the second brother could not come out to deceive people at this time. These words were true, which meant that Suktai had done something that both man and god were angry.

However, Suktei's rebuttal immediately made Joses shake, because what he said was reasonable and well-founded. If his father Hemodin was really as Sukine said, it would be too abnormal. This was not Hemodin's character and style at all. How could such a strong person deny that his former ideas were wrong?

However, the two people in front of him were the ones Jose trusted the most without reservation. But who should we trust now?

Joses almost subconsciously thought of the young man. After the banquet that day, she told people to protect his safety, but his subordinates reported that Hannibal had lost his trace.

The words Hannibal said to her came back to her mind.

"If I say... your elder brother framed the people of Yunhu Star Domain in order to defeat your second brother in one fell swoop, and then intended me to perjure, confirm and even criticize them and your second brother, and all this is at the cost of seducing me, would you agree to me do this..."

Such words deeply imprinted Jose's mind. This sentence aroused her fierce reaction at the time. She accused him of lying and not allowed him to slander her close relatives. As a result, the two of them even had a crack and said the words that they did not meet each other.

At this moment, Joses felt that a huge black hole beside her grabbed her, tightened her insecure, and pulled her into the deep void.

The content revealed in the second brother Suke's words was very terrifying. If this is the real Suketai, which is the true face of her elder brother, then what the young man said was true. His elder brother used her to win him over and asked him to make accusations against innocent people just to attack his second brother, all of which were true!

"Your second brother is probably too stressed, so there is something wrong with his mental problems. Let's go." One hand stroked Joses's back, but Joses was no less than being touched by the tentacles of some terrifying and dangerous creature. His frightened body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously moved to the side.

Suktai slapped her back and slid away from the side, drooping down.

Then Joses saw his expression, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Very good...you're all the same...good."

Sukter opened the door.

As soon as Hemodin died, he entered the Palace of Wuyou and replaced all the guards' new royal guards with guns and live ammunition immediately followed. The footsteps were loud. The guards surrounded the audience hall in a circular shape, surrounding Sukine and Joses.

Sukyin hugged Joses's shoulder and looked at everything around him coldly.

Joses leaned against Sukine's collarbone, and her eyes were red, her body trembling slightly.

"The old emperor just passed away, and the capital stars are on guard. Now the world is not peaceful. There are spies from the Eagle Kingdom and opposition thugs everywhere... Don't walk around, just stay in Wuyou Palace, and the guards will protect you."

After explaining this sentence, Suktai turned around and walked out, and the door of the hall slowly closed.

***

Sukin and Joses were placed under house arrest in the palace behind Wuyou Palace. The guards were not far away from them, and they did not restrict their activities in the palace, but they seemed to be unable to get out of here at all. The brother and sister walked in the palace.

Every brick and wood here is so familiar. There are also grass slopes and lakes that they once played together. The century-old trees beside the lake are still lush with branches and leaves, and new buds are sprouting from the tender green.

Joses looked at the tree and smiled hard, "Do you remember who was the bravest to jump into the water by the tree? You and Suktai fell into the water one after another, but I watched the five or six meters gap and didn't dare to jump. Later, you held each hand and said you jumped down to catch me. I plucked up the courage to jump down. As a result, you two of you were stepping on each of your handsome faces... and made me laugh for three days."

Su Keyin also laughed, but it seemed that it was this happy past that further highlighted the cruelty of the development of the world today.

Joses murmured, "Will we die? Will we be killed by our elder brother?"

Suk's lips moved and finally said, "I will protect you."

"Brother, do you have anything to regret in this life?" Josés said, "There will always be regrets in life, but fortunately there is a future. But now, we may not even have a future."

Sukyin thought for a while and said, "There are many things that I regret. One of the latest things is that when Hemoding asked me to take over the throne, he failed to leave a document or tell him to be careful of Suktai."

Josés said, "Then there are many things I regret. The most recent one... is that I did not pay attention to Count Hannibal's warning, otherwise I would tell my father that he might have made the right countermeasures, and that would not be the case."

Joses found a grassy slope on the shore of the lake and sat down, with his hands around his knees, "...that man... told him he wouldn't see him again, and he really left...well, stay away from right and wrong..."
