Chapter 45: Close Relationships, Your Circle is Really Chaotic

Chapter 45: Close Relationships, Your Circle is Really Chaotic

Before the last king, Charleson, ascended the throne, the Kingdom of Itachisya had experienced a hundred years of turmoil.

After Charleson succeeded to the throne, he first used some means to quickly consolidate the military power and quickly stabilize the situation in the royal city and its surrounding areas. He then fought wars in the south and the north to quell the unrest in various places.

In politics, Charleson worked hard to govern the country, eliminate malpractices and carry out reforms. It took him more than ten years to allow the people of the Kingdom of Itachisia to live a peaceful and stable life.

However, even such a wise and brave man as Charleson did something that was so disastrous that he himself did not expect it.

Charleson has a younger brother named Tule.

Tule showed great ambition since he was a child. After Charleson succeeded to the throne, Tule always harbored resentment and always wanted to usurp the throne.

Charleson knew about this, but considering their brotherly feelings, he did not care about it. Instead, he reused Tule and was very kind to their family, trying to resolve the hatred between the brothers in this way.

But Tule had evil ambitions and not only did he not buy into it, he also tried to win people's hearts in secret.

Six years ago, when Russell was sent by Charleson to the north to suppress pirates, Tule finally couldn't hold back. He designed to poison Charleson and launched a coup to usurp the throne.

However, Charleson was too popular among the people and had a large number of loyal followers in the court. Tule's plan to succeed to the throne was strongly opposed by the people at large, so he had to give up.

Ten days later, Russell returned to the royal city and was helped to the throne by ministers and people.

However, Russell's foundation was unstable, and Tule's wings were already strong. Although Tule failed to become king as he wished, he was very powerful and could not be easily shaken by Russell, who had just succeeded to the throne.

In the next six years, Russell followed his father's will and worked hard in government affairs, becoming another wise king in the eyes of the world.

At the same time, Russell was trying to deal with Tule, but he failed.

Two years ago, Tule fell seriously ill, but he held on during that time and supported his son Charlie to take the position. Tule himself retreated behind the scenes and managed things secretly.

Russell also clearly told Luke and the others that the four major bandit forces including Origi who were killed by Luke were Tule's people.

The reason why Origi and his men were able to get the news in advance every time and escape the imperial crusade was because of Tule's interference.

Lu Kai and Fu Ya had speculated about this before, but it has only been confirmed now.

It was also Tule's idea to plan the kidnapping of the princess and Princess Rachel, but Russell only found out about this recently. Even the guard who was killed by Luke was bribed by Tule, as Fuya guessed.

This incident made Russell terrified. If it weren't for Lu Kai, Tule's evil plan would have succeeded.

The reason why Tule supported the four major bandit forces was to create the image that Russell was no longer able to protect the people and make the people dissatisfied with Russell.

After all, Russell Wei’s prestige was not low at the beginning.

If Tule launched two consecutive coups and killed two kings who were supported by the people, he would certainly not end up well, so he had to find another way.

The best way is to start with public opinion, so Russell has been very passive in the past two years. Although he had noticed the trick a long time ago, he had no evidence.

In the court, Tule's son Charlie created trouble for Russell in every possible way, making him extremely anxious. In the past few years, Tule and Charlie have also gained a lot of fame and reputation.

After all, Russell's prestige cannot be compared with that of his father Charleson. In the past two years, the people have been quite resentful of Russell, and the situation is very unfavorable to Russell.

Russell didn't care about the position of king. His dream since childhood was to become a traveler, just like Olin, so he and Olin had a lot in common and Russell especially liked to listen to Olin's stories about the interesting things during the voyage.

If there really is a wise man who can govern the country better, Russell would even be willing to abdicate and let him take over, but this king must not be Tule and his son.

In order to attack political enemies, he can support a large number of bandits to massacre the people, and be complacent about his success. If such a person becomes king, it will definitely be a disaster for the people.

So Russell tried to make a comeback through Luke and completely eliminate the troublesome father and son, Tule and Charlie, at one time. This way, he could avenge his father and restore peace to the people.

After listening to Russell's description, Fu Ya and Lu Kai just felt that your circle is really chaotic.

Although he was very reluctant to get involved, Luke decided to help. After all, the previous king, Charleson, had done a favor to Dimo ​​and Sina, and now Charleson died at the hands of Tule. Luke should not stay out of it no matter what.

What's more, Russell is Olin's elder brother. If Olin were here, he would definitely help. You know, according to Olin, Russell and he have a very good relationship. With these levels of relationship, Lu Kai has no choice but to help.

"I understand!" After a while, Lu Kai said, "Brother, what should I do?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just let me borrow your power now." Russell said with a smile, "Leave the rest to me, but I may have to let you suffer a little bit."

"What's there to be afraid of if you feel wronged?" Lu Kai said indifferently, "As long as you can help big brother, that's all."

"Haha, good, you and I are brothers with a common goal, we will surely win this time!" Russell laughed, feeling particularly happy.

Fu Ya, on the side, was chatting with the princess and Princess Rachel. As their relationship became clear, their relationship became obviously closer.

Russell was naturally happy to see this happen. The closer the relationship between the two families was, the more help it would bring to him.

Soon, news came out from the palace.

Luke, who has suddenly appeared in the past ten days and has vigorously wiped out four bandit forces near the royal city and more than a dozen bandit forces farther away, is the sworn brother of King Russell. Luke's actions to wipe out the bandits were all assigned by Russell.

Because of the failure of previous anti-bandit campaigns, Russell and Luke conspired to take private action to prevent intelligence from being leaked again.

After thoroughly investigating the situation of these bandits, Russell ordered Luke to wipe them out with lightning speed. Now that all the bandits have been wiped out, King Russell is preparing to offer sacrifices to the gods to celebrate.

On the same day, the Wolf Pack Mercenary Guild publicly acknowledged the incident and stated that they were the ones who provided Lu Kai with much of the intelligence.

For a moment, the royal city was in an uproar and the people were stunned.

They never expected that the great hero Lu Kai who wiped out the bandits was secretly appointed by King Russell who had been helpless against the bandits in the past two years.

Russell's reputation also achieved a huge reversal in just a few days, and for a time, people all over the city were praising Russell.
