I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

The failure of the Duke of Lionheart seemed to have been doomed long ago. After all, the elite forces of the Blood Moon Cult were all gathered in the royal capital.

They gathered their strength and prepared for battle, waiting for the Duke of Lionheart and his army to fall into their trap.

Faced with the indestructible, towering walls of the royal capital and the powerful magic shield shining with colorful light, the army of the Duke of Lionheart found it difficult to organize an effective offensive.

If the Blood Moon Cult had not yet sent troops to the city of Antiphis, which had expressed its willingness to surrender, they would never have been able to fight the Duke of Lionheart's army outside the city.

However, as soon as the Blood Moon Cult's army left the city, many people in the royal capital spontaneously followed them out, vowing to fight the Duke of Lionheart's army.

These people denounced the Duke of Lionheart's shameless behavior of betraying national interests in pursuit of personal selfishness and regarded him as a complete traitor.

Some people even said that even the notorious Zhang Wei knew how to ensure the safety of the kingdom by competing with the empire for Lionheart Castle, but the Duke of Lionheart easily abandoned the kingdom built by his ancestors just to fight for the throne.

Going against the trend will inevitably lead to tragic failure!

Although the Duke of Lionheart personally led his loyal soldiers to fight bravely, he was still unable to turn the tide of the battle.

Henry the Lionheart Knight was anxious to rescue his father. He ignored his own safety and suffered several knife wounds. He finally managed to snatch the seriously injured Duke Lionheart from the enemy with great difficulty.

Afterwards, he led the Duke of Lionheart, the three princesses and the remaining soldiers, attempting to flee north to the city of Antiphis to seek asylum.

However, unexpectedly, the residents of Antiphis refused to let them enter the city.

These people stood on the city wall and told Henry the Lionheart Knight coldly that they had already joined the evil and terrifying Blood Moon Cult. If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Lionheart was once the lord of this city, they would have even tied him up and offered him to the Blood Moon Cult to show their loyalty.

Now, with no way to go ahead and pursuers chasing him from behind, the Lionheart Knight felt extremely desperate.

At this moment, a mysterious vampire was ordered to come and appeared in front of them.

The vampire handed the third princess a letter written by the queen herself, and then waited quietly for the third princess' response.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Zhang Wei had no intention of saving the third princess at all. If the queen had not cried and begged him, and used her body as a gift to compensate him, Zhang Wei would have beheaded this heartless, unfaithful and unfilial person in public, or simply sent her to the Blood Moon Cult, letting her suffer torture and live a life worse than death.

You know, the Third Princess knew that the Blood Moon Cult had entered the city with evil intentions, but she did not warn her father, the King. She did not warn her mother, the Queen. She did not warn her own sister, the Second Princess. Instead, she took advantage of the chaos when the Blood Moon Cult members entered the city and had not yet turned hostile to her and left.

However, after the third princess read the letter, she decided to follow the vampire without hesitation.

Facing Henry's request to stay, the third princess showed extreme contempt and disdain. She even sneered: "Do you still expect me to be buried with your Lionheart family?"

These words were like a sharp sword, deeply hurting everyone's heart.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and drew his sword to chop at the third princess, but surprisingly, the vampire next to him did not try to stop him. Instead, Henry stepped forward and saved the third princess.

"Go away." Henry's voice was hoarse, with a bitter smile on his face, and he never dared to look directly at the third princess.

"With a prodigal son like you, how can the family not decline!" Seeing that he failed, the man who had made the move angrily put away his sword and turned away.

When the other people present saw this, they all remained silent and left with heavy hearts.

They knew very well that a leader who had lost his mind due to being bewitched by women was definitely not worthy of their continued loyalty.

Henry, the Lionhearted Knight who was abandoned by his friends and relatives, hugged his seriously injured and unconscious father tightly, and the sound of the enemy's pursuit gradually approaching from behind echoed in his ears.

He felt extremely desperate and slowly closed his eyes.

"Why didn't you save me just now!!!" The third princess glared at the vampire, questioning why he stood by and watched her fall into danger.

The vampire responded indifferently: "Instead of dwelling on what has happened, you might as well think about what value you have in staying with the master. There is never a shortage of beautiful women with good figures around the master, and as for your identity... hehe." Although it was not stated explicitly, the irony was clear.

The third princess bit her lips tightly, trying to suppress the anger in her heart so as not to scream out of control.

Newt City, Zhang Wei Mansion, the garden in front.

The scene where the queen recognizes the three princesses seems particularly warm, even a little out of place.

"I thought you would kill her." The high priest stood beside Zhang Wei, his eyes fixed on the neglected Second Princess, and was a little surprised that Zhang Wei did not kill the Third Princess.

Zhang Wei replied calmly: "I can only say that she is lucky. After going through so many hardships, she is still alive."

The arrival of the third princess did not cause any commotion, and the city of Newt was as calm as water.

The reason is simple, because Zhang Wei has not yet made clear his intentions as to which force he wants to support to ascend the throne.

According to the laws of the kingdom: if the king dies, the queen has the right to temporarily govern the country and run the government before a new king is born.

However, what is interesting is that the law does not explicitly prohibit the queen from remarrying.

If it were an ordinary period - when the king died of illness and the aristocracy was not severely damaged - even if someone wanted to lay hands on the queen and take advantage of the opportunity to ascend the throne, it would probably be difficult to achieve their wish.

Now that the situation has changed, Zhang Wei can support the queen and marry her, so that he can ascend the throne legitimately;

Or he could choose to push the second princess to the high position, and then marry this "puppet" princess himself, thus achieving his goal of being regent and in power.

However, Zhang Wei is still undecided and the matter remains unresolved, making it full of variables and unknown risks.

Ministers such as Feng Ji also earnestly advised Zhang Wei to make up his mind as soon as possible and not to repeat the same mistakes and follow in the footsteps of the king.

The king was plotted against because he had not appointed a crown prince, which eventually led to the entire kingdom being plunged into a desperate situation and beyond recovery.

However, Zhang Wei found this advice unpleasant to the ears and turned a deaf ear to it.

Zhang Wei has his own ideas, which are "build high cities, store up grain, and slowly claim the throne." Let him fight, let him fight. The more unstable the situation is, the more he cannot be impatient, otherwise he will attract too much firepower and might follow in the footsteps of the Duke of Lionheart.
