Chapter 100: Who Made the Daughter of the Sky Wolf Kingi
Translator: 549690339
After hearing what Xiao Hongbo and the others said, Xiao Wenyao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At that ti, Xiao Hongbo said indifferently, “Yaoyao, you should go out first.”
Xiao Hongbo’s tone was very cold, as if she was not his daughter at all.
Xiao Wenyao walked out with a look of dejection.
Although she did not pour wine for the North Fre King today, if she continued to stay in the royal court, she would inevitably beco the North Fre King’s woman one day.
And that day was coming soon.
As soon as North City was taken down, she would have to marry that old thing who never bathes in his lifeti.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyao felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
Not long after Xiao Wenyao left the royal tent, Xiao Pengthian followed her out.
Seeing the lost and dispirited Xiao Wenyao, Xiao Pengthian imdiately walked up to her and asked with concern, “Yaoyao, are you alright?”
Xiao Wenyao did not pay any attention to Xiao Pengthian but walked straight toward the distant grasslands.
Seeing Xiao Wenyao like this, Xiao Pengthian sighed deeply, then continued, “Yaoyao, your uncle has done everything he could.”
It was only then that Xiao Wenyao spoke, “Uncle, 1 don’t bla you. Who made the daughter of the Sky Wolf King?”
The more Xiao Wenyao spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and as she spoke, she began to cry with a “woo woo woo.”
Seeing how heartbroken Xiao Wenyao was crying, Xiao Pengthian sighed. Although he had so status in the Sky Wolf King’s tribe, he could not change Xiao Hongbo’s mind, after all, the tribe was still ruled by the Sky Wolf King.
At that mont, the sobbing Xiao Wenyao suddenly thought of sothing and then, while crying, asked, “Uncle, did my father really kill my mother?”
At first, when Xiao Wenyao heard Xiao Pengthian say this, she was sowhat incredulous. After all, her mother and father seed so in love before; how could her father possibly have killed her mother?
But now, seeing how her father treated her, ignoring his daughter’s happiness for the sake of his ambition, Xiao Wenyao could not help but suspect whether her father really killed her mother in order to marry the queen.
Hearing Xiao Wenyao’s question, Xiao Pengthian fell silent. Although he had told Xiao Wenyao about this matter before, it was only said in a mont of anger, as he really couldn’t stand Xiao Hongbo’s actions.
However, he indeed suspected that his sister’s death was closely connected to Xiao Hongbo.
But seeing how sad Xiao Wenyao was, he was reluctant to tell her more about her own mother’s affairs.
After a mont of silence, Xiao Pengthian still said, “1 only suspect it, as your mother was always well and had no illnesses; she couldn’t have died suddenly, so 1 suspect that soone poisoned your mother.”
“The most likely person who did not want your mother to live was your father, because he wanted to marry the queen.”
Xiao Wenyao wiped her tears and asked, “But hasn’t the queen already agreed to marry him?”
In the Sky Wolf King tribe there has always been this custom, that is, the queen of the previous Sky Wolf King—if she is still relatively young and capable of bearing children—must marry the next Sky Wolf King.
Of course, this is provided that the next Sky Wolf King has no blood relation; but from the way new Sky Wolf Kings are chosen in the Sky Wolf King’s tribe, many tis the new Sky Wolf King has no blood relation to the previous one.
The Barbarian Tribe is different from Great Sum, where succession is generally by primogeniture, while in the Barbarian Tribe the king is chosen by the Elders.
Therefore, the children of the previous Sky Wolf King are not necessarily going to beco the next Sky Wolf King, although generally, the children of the previous Sky Wolf King do beco the next one, because they have a great advantage in the Elder’s election in the Barbarian Tribe.
Xiao Hongbo was not the child of the previous Sky Wolf King, so to consolidate his kingship, he needed to recruit the queen as his political ally.
Saying ‘recruit’ is too polite. Considering Yelv Nanyan’s current status in the Sky Wolf King tribe, ‘ingratiating’ might be more accurate.
At that ti, he already had a queen and it was impossible for him to take another queen. According to custom, Yelv Nanyan could at most beco his woman.
But with Yelv Nanyan having such great power and high status in the Sky Wolf King tribe, how could she settle for just being his woman? Her status as the queen was inevitably to be preserved.
There was only one solution left, which was to depose Xiao Wenyao’s mother. However, deposing her directly would cause so dissatisfaction, especially among the people of Xiao Wenyao’s mother’s lineage, which included Xiao Pengthian.
Since deposing her directly wasn’t an option, they might as well go all out and kill Xiao Wenyao’s mother. That way, Xiao Hongbo could remarry a queen with honor and legitimacy.
Of course, this was only Xiao Pengthian’s speculation at the mont; he had not yet found any related evidence.
After hearing Xiao Wenyao’s words, Xiao Pengthian sighed and then said, “Yaoyao, have you forgotten that the queen agreed to marry your father only after your mother had died?”
Hearing Xiao Pengthian put it that way, Xiao Wenyao was completely stunned.
After a while, Xiao Wenyao continued, “Uncle, could it be that the queen killed my mother?”
Xiao Pengthian did not imdiately answer Xiao Wenyao’s question.
If one were to look at the motive, Yelv Nanyan could indeed have had the potential to kill Xiao Wenyao’s mother because to beco queen, the current queen would have to be deposed or die.
Considering the circumstances at the ti, deposing her was not likely, leaving only a sudden death as the alternative.
However, Xiao Pengthian did not believe that Yelv Nanyan needed to marry Xiao Hongbo to maintain her status, as she had already garnered the support of all the Elders in the Sky Wolf King tribe. Even if Yelv Nanyan had refused to marry the Sky Wolf King at that ti, the Elders would not have objected.
Moreover, given her contributions to the tribe, if she did not want to marry Xiao Hongbo, no one would have any say in it.
Therefore, for Xiao Hongbo to gain Yelv Nanyan’s support, he had to depose the position of Xiao Wenyao’s mother as the queen, and for Yelv Nanyan to maintain her power in the Sky Wolf King tribe, she simply needed to maintain good relations with the Elders, coupled with her own significant influence in the tribe, she had no need at all to marry Xiao Hongbo.
The most crucial point was that it was initially Xiao Hongbo who actively proposed to marry Yelv Nanyan and wanted her to be his queen, which further confird Xiao Pengthian’s suspicions.
Seeing that Xiao Pengthian did not answer her question, Xiao Wenyao felt she already knew the answer in her heart.
The queen had always been very kind to her since she was a child, treating her as her own daughter. Xiao Wenyao was very clear in her heart that the queen was not a wicked woman.
Furthermore, her mother and the queen had always had a good relationship. It was said that when the queen first ca to the Sky Wolf King tribe, she was nothing but a naive young girl, and her mother had taken care of the queen like a sister.
The queen was able to stabilize her footing in the Sky Wolf King tribe so quickly, and a large part of that was because of her mother, so Xiao Wenyao found it hard to believe that the queen would do such a thing as to harm her mother.
If it really was the queen who was responsible, Xiao Wenyao had nothing to say.
Anyway, there were currently only two people with the most suspicion: her father and the queen. Of course, it was also very possible that her mother had suddenly died of so illness.
But none of that mattered anymore.
She was about to marry into the North Fre King tribe and would never know who killed her mother for the rest of her life.
And even if she knew, she could not change anything. Her mother was dead and could not be brought back to life.
At this thought, Xiao Wenyao could not help but start sobbing once again.
Seeing her cry so sadly, Xiao Pengthian felt very distressed. Suddenly, he thought of sothing and then whispered, “Yaoyao, your uncle has thought of a way that could prevent you from marrying the North Fre King, but I don’t know if you’re willing to do it.”
Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao’s crying ca to an abrupt halt. She imdiately asked, “Uncle, what is the way you’re talking about?”
Xiao Pengthian whispered into Xiao Wenyao’s ear, “After your father conquers North City, you quietly go and live in Great Sum, never to return to the grasslands again.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenyao was taken aback..
