Unknown Knight

When the people of Aix saw this scene, they knew what was going on. It must be the desert bandit leader, Sharif, who had arrived.

Just as they were about to turn their horses around and run away, Niza stopped everyone because he saw a large flag erected among the desert bandits opposite, with the noble flag of a yellow sky and a white sun on it.

Others may not be familiar with the yellow sky and white sun flag, but Niza is very familiar with it, as it is the flag of his half-brother Sharif.

Niza and Sharif had a good relationship since childhood. He knew that his brother had great ambitions and had the ambition to unify the world since childhood. He also designed the yellow sky and white sun flag for himself as his own exclusive flag.

It turns out that Niza is the real noble hidden in the Aix camp. He is the seventh son of the Sarand Sultan Hakim, but his mother is an oriental singer who was presented to Hakim. He has no family or relatives to rely on, and is the least valued and least powerful one among the Sultan's many concubines.

Correspondingly, Niza was also the least favored among all the princes. Fortunately, her mother was the daughter of a fallen family. With a good education and hardships, this former daughter had insights and cultivation beyond ordinary people. Niza was well educated since childhood, allowing him to grow up in the bloody and brutal Sarand court.

In the Sultan's court, Niza's best relationship was with his fifth brother Sharif.

Sharif's mother was the daughter of a local nobleman. Unlike Niza's mother, who had no status at all, she took good care of the well-behaved Niza's mother in the palace. This made Niza and Sharif have a very good relationship since childhood and become good brothers who supported each other.

However, this good relationship only lasted until Niza was sixteen years old, and the two became enemies. The cause and effect of this can be traced back to a tradition of the Sarand royal family, that is, the royal ascendancy mechanism that was like the Gu-raising model.

It turns out that the first Sultan of the Sarand Emirate was also a ruthless man. In order to ensure that his descendants would not be too useless, he made every heir the best of his sons. He even announced that all princes would be adults when they reached the age of sixteen, and every adult prince had the right to inherit the throne.

This made every prince who was over sixteen a natural enemy of other princes, and the royal family tacitly allowed all princes to compete with each other and even kill each other without treason.

What's even more bizarre and outrageous is that there was a legend later that the royal bloodline was sacred, and when an adult prince killed another adult prince, he would have the possibility of gaining the wisdom and abilities of the killed person.

This legend was like an evil curse, which made all the adult princes crazy and tried every means to kill the other adult princes.

When Niza was sixteen years old, the first person to attack him was his brother Sharif, who had been his childhood playmate and had taken good care of him.

Fortunately, Niza's mother was well aware of the cruelty of palace fighting, and she reached out and knocked away the honey cake that Niza had already stuffed into his mouth. From then on, the two families fell out and regarded each other as enemies.

Having lost the support of the Sharif family, on which he had originally depended, the powerless Niza would certainly become the first target of other princes. In order to prevent Niza from being killed prematurely, his mother told him a story about "Chong'er being born outside the palace" and secretly sent him out of the palace.

From then on, the cold and heartless Sarande court lost its most unpopular little Prince Niza, and the world gained a bard who was good at playing musical instruments, received a good education since childhood, and was proficient in both literature and martial arts.

During this period, Niza witnessed all kinds of suffering and darkness in the world, and experienced several dangerous pursuits. Every time he thought of his embarrassing background and the lack of blood ties since childhood, he gradually became disheartened. Later, he decided to give up everything he had and pursue the great truth of the world and good strategies to save the world and the people as his life goal.

Later, when he met Aix, Niza discovered that Aix could protect a group of followers and provide them with a small world just by virtue of his own willpower. It seemed that he saw what he was pursuing in Aix, so he decided to follow in Aix's footsteps.

To this day, although Aix has experienced several setbacks, it still stands firm, and its territory is thriving and on the rise.

Moreover, the territory model and the governing philosophy promoted by Aix were very consistent with the philosophy of saving the world and the people pursued by Niza, which further strengthened his determination to follow Aix.

Now that his master is in danger, the idealist Niza decides to step forward and use his personal relationship with his fifth brother Sherif to see if he can turn things around for Aix.

If that didn't work, he decided to use himself as bait to attract Sherif's attention and create an opportunity for Aix and his party to escape. Thinking of this, he whispered to Aix:

"Sir, the enemy is strong. I know their leader Sherif. I'll see if I can negotiate a peace. If not, they will definitely hunt me down first. You can take this opportunity to escape separately from me. This way, you have a better chance of survival."

"What about you? Let's go together. This way our chances of survival will be better."

Aix knew that once these desert bandits targeted Niza, he would most likely not be able to escape, and he couldn't help but become worried.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm familiar with this place. It won't be a problem for me to run away alone."

Seeing that Niza was so confident, Aix had no other choice but to nod at him and let him go ahead and do it.

After getting Aix's consent, Niza rode his horse to the opposite side of the desert bandits and said:

"Fifth brother, long time no see!"

After hearing what Niza said, a strong and powerful laugh came from the desert bandits across the street:

"Hahaha, what a coincidence! It's been so long since we last met. How are you, Seventh Brother?"

After saying this, a burly man stepped out from the crowd. It was Sharif, the fifth brother who wanted to kill Niza.

Seeing the fifth brother who had taken good care of him, Niza was filled with mixed emotions. However, when he thought of the sugar cake that he almost ate, he was upset again. However, he had a mission to accomplish, so he had to put aside the past grudges, calmed down and said to Sharif:

"Fifth brother, you and I are brothers. Can you please let us go today for the sake of our past brotherhood? I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

After hearing what Niza said, Sharif burst into laughter, his laughter was full of sarcasm and coldness. After a while, he stopped laughing and said sinisterly:

"Seventh brother, seventh brother, after all these years, you still can't change your weak character and haven't made any progress. If you were born in a royal family, you should have the awareness of a royal family.

What is affection? What is family affection? Even ordinary people rarely have these things. How can you, a prince, dream of having them? And you still hope that I still have affection for you?

When I gained the right to inherit the throne, these hindering emotions had completely disappeared because I was destined to be king.

"Men! Capture my fifth brother alive. He is mine and I will deal with him myself. As for the others, except for that fat noble, you can do whatever you want with them!"
