Why Did the Young Master Rebel?
In the vast starry sky and the Infinite Universe, countless living beings and endless planes of existence are born.
There is a special dimensional world within the K96847 Crystal Wall Plane.
In this world, the power of the gods cannot be directly accessed; their strength can only be demonstrated and the Power of Faith gained through the God's Chosen and lords.
"Life in the castle is really tough, but thankfully I'll be an adult in a few days, and then I can get a territory and become a noble baron."
In the territory of Lion Count of the Dragon Empire, a black-haired man of about eighteen years old, dressed in brocade robes, boasted to two women.
"Congratulations, young master! I'm sure the Earl will choose a prosperous place for you."
Two heavily made-up beauties kept toasting the man, their eyes gleaming with a fawning expression.
For women in brothels, pleasing men had become an instinct.
Despite her beautiful appearance and proficiency in various arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Their status was much higher than that of the street prostitutes.
At least to some extent, there is a choice to be made.
But they also knew that it was just for the men's amusement.
If you really want them.
Even if they refuse, it has no effect.
The Wang Zizhen standing before us, Zhen, is the eldest son of Lion Count.
Although the Earl passed away a few years ago, the Lion Count remarried.
The new Earl now dislikes the eldest son.
However, he was the only adult son of the Lion Count.
His position was unshakeable in the eyes of the Lion Count.
Moreover, he will be granted a fiefdom in a few days.
If you gain his favor, you will be taken to his residence.
Even if I can only be your lover.
It's better than the humiliating life I lead now, where my lips are tasted by thousands.
"Hahaha, of course! Of course!"
The man stood with his hands on his hips, smiling broadly.
He was later appointed as a lord after being sent to a remote area.
Give him some more time to accumulate strength and build his own team.
The old man is about due to die.
His father, Lion Count, was once a warrior.
It possesses a sixth-tier God's Chosen and a force of over ten thousand elite soldiers.
They were considered a powerful force in the Dragon Empire.
Several years ago, during a war against the Elves, his mother, the family's only sixth-tier God's Chosen, died in battle.
The Lion Family began its decline.
Furthermore, the Earl later remarried, and from then on, he went from being a warrior on the battlefield to being a woman confined to a secluded tent.
The once burly man has become a skeleton, his body extremely weak.
The thought of his stepmother, who was one-quarter Elves, filled him with rage.
"Once I inherit the position of family head, I will drive you and all those long-eared monsters you fathered out of the Lion Family!"
He would never admit that the bastard with rabbit-like ears was his brother.
His father was defeated on the battlefield and captured by the Elves.
Through the family's efforts, his father was successfully redeemed.
However, his stepmother, who had Elves blood, also returned with him.
It is said that his stepmother was the illegitimate daughter of an Elves prince.
Her mother was a human slave in the Elf Kingdom.
"What right does a slave's daughter have to be the mistress of the Lion Family!"
The boy was so angry he gritted his teeth.
The Elf Kingdom sent her to the Dragon Empire to seduce Lion Count.
It's quite obvious that their plot worked.
The once mighty lion has now become a sick cat.
The entire family and all its factions are extremely dissatisfied with the Earl's actions over the years.
Especially his mother's original family.
His mother's family was a viscount family under the Lion Earl's Domain, and had always been important members of the family.
In particular, more than twenty years ago, his mother received the Divine Grace of the God of War, awakened as God's Chosen, and signed a contract with his father, who had just inherited the family at the time.
In this world, only women can awaken as God's Chosen.
Once awakened, one can obtain various treasures and divine skills from the gods through Divine Grace, thereby gaining unimaginable combat power.
The so-called God's Chosen are the top combat power in this world, surpassing even knights and mages.
It is the most important factor in maintaining the strength of a territory.
The lord signs a pact with the God's Chosen, gaining the God's Chosen's allegiance.
The God's Chosen, through a contract, receive the Power of Faith of all the people in the lord's territory to dedicate to the god they worship.
After gaining the Power of Faith, the gods will bestow more Divine Grace upon the God's Chosen.
The more prosperous and flourishing a territory is, the more powerful the God's Chosen it can support.
His mother was the most important fighting force in the territory.
This brought glory and benefits to his mother's family.
His maternal grandfather and uncle are now the most powerful military commanders in the Earl, with tens of thousands of troops under their command.
"Perhaps we don't even need to wait for the old man to pass away..."
With tens of thousands of soldiers loyal to me, why should I worry about failing to accomplish great things?
I'll have to experience firsthand that Half-Elves stepmother's beautiful singing voice then...
The man was lost in thought when suddenly the door was kicked open roughly, followed by a cacophony of footsteps.
Then a dozen or so soldiers in black armor rushed in, followed by a bald general with a blue dragon tattooed on his head. Each of them looked fierce and menacing.
"Ma Dexiang! What do you mean by this?!"
The boy immediately recognized the newcomer: Ma Dexiang, a knight commander from the Earl's territory.
Known for being a fence-sitter, he couldn't understand why Ma Dexiang, who used to be so timid and subservient in front of him, would suddenly put on such a face.
Does he want to die?
Or perhaps he was bribed by his stepmother to assassinate him.
"You'd better think this through. I am the Earl's son. If you lay a hand on me, you won't leave this city alive!"
The boy spoke sharply, trying to intimidate his opponent with his imposing manner.
The two beautiful women beside him were already huddled to the side, trembling with fear.
With the trembling of his body, his enormous chest shook incessantly, captivating all who beheld it.
Even such a beautiful view did not distract the soldiers who entered.
They remained silent, holding their swords and watching the boy.
It was Ma Dexiang who spoke first:
"Young Master Earl? You are no longer! By order of Lion Count, the eldest son, Prince Wang Zizhen, along with Reindeer Viscount Zhang Qin and Baron Zhang Qicai, conspired to murder Lion Count. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. He is hereby ordered to be arrested and imprisoned."
"Young Master Wang Zizhen? Out of consideration for the fact that we're all still somewhat polite, I won't lock you up. Please come with me?"
Ma Dexiang stretched out a hand, looking at Wang Zizhen with a mocking expression.
A little over an hour ago, the Earl, in the name of the Earl, plotted to kill Reindeer Viscount Zhang Qin and Baron Zhang Qicai, and fabricated evidence that they and Wang Zizhen were conspiring to rebel.
Although the Earl has not yet issued a formal order.
But everyone knows that the Earl's dissatisfaction with Wang Zizhen is growing stronger every day.
I've wanted to remove him from the position of heir for a long time.
Now that they've found an excuse, they certainly won't let this opportunity slip by.
Wang Zizhen is finished.
Even if he survives this time, he will lose the right to inherit the territory.
Suddenly he saw that young master Wang Zizhen sway and fall to the ground.
Unable to bear the news, she fainted.
"Useless! He really is a piece of trash!"
"How could such a piece of trash have the courage to rebel?"
He waved his arm, signaling his soldiers to take Wang Zizhen away.
The two women, who were pale with fright, were also taken away.
Does anyone know if these two women are connected to Wang Zizhen's rebellion?
As the Earl's most loyal retainer.
We must find out everything about these two women thoroughly.
We absolutely must find out their true strengths and weaknesses.
Well!
Looks like tonight will be another sleepless night!
