Oh, yes...... But you're not going to send me back, are you?" Mom said I had to stay here.

Yes.

Jackett didn't deliberately accentuate his tone. In fact, he didn't need to say anything, this fact was already very heavy for the girl.

I already knew. I would come to this place...... I don't know why, but I just know. I'll sit alone in a big room......

You're not alone, and I'll do my best to keep everyone there for you.

Alyselle replied in frustration. She was probably tired of hearing this kind of painless comfort. However, Jackett's words were not finished.

However, hard things don't make it easier because of this. Sadness and loneliness are natural things. But, at least you can still cry when you're sad and laugh when you're happy.

Right now?

In the future, you will have to cry when you are happy and laugh when you are sad. The position of leader is always lonely, and if you don't wear a mask, you will be crushed.

I don't want that.

I don't want to. However, I don't have the power to change this reality.

Jack was silent for a moment. Are these words appropriate to children...... No one in their right mind would say that. However, Jackett decides to believe in Elle's cleverness and Belena, who chose the girl as her heir.

The position of the High Priest was precarious. He was the center of the kingdom, but he was not an emperor and had no actual power. However, the High Priest was always suspected of having to perform his duties as a responsible person whenever others needed him. However, there is nothing we can do about it, and this is a heavy responsibility that you have to bear

There may be many people who will say that you are a puppet and a puppet. But, Ellie, don't pay attention to their words. I hope that you will not become the supreme priest who is easily at the mercy of them, but the emperor of this country.

Emperor?

Hearing this word in the heavenly realm, even the smart and clever Ai Lijie blinked in confusion. Jack nodded vigorously.

The country is like a castle made of sand, which can easily crumble. The power of the aristocracy was too strong, and the power was scattered. Because of this, once a strong enemy like Bakar appears, the country will quickly fall apart. If that were the case, your dear family and friends would all die. Until that happens, please unite this country as one. If you are willing to do so, then I will help you.

Oh...... I do not know. Uncle, can't you do it?

A frightened Ellie pleaded pleadingly, but Jack shook her head.

I can't. My way of thinking has been solidified by combat, and it seems natural to me to distinguish between enemies and allies in a dichotomy. Moreover, I am a military man. If I sit in the position of the Dominator...... It may be easy to upend the country, but it will definitely end up being a bad precedent. Everyone will think that anyone can overthrow the country by force. There is one more important reason.

What is it?

I hate the troublesome thing the most. Once you're done, it's time to go to the sea, drink, and chat with friends. The Emperor can't do that.

Jack's tone seemed to say that playing was obviously more important than the reasons listed above. Listening to his words, Ellie chuckled.

Hee-hee...... I also like to play.

Of course, Ellie, you can also grab a suitable person and put him in this position, and then you can escape on your own. Do you want to do that?

Alijie tilted her head and thought seriously for a while, then stuck out her tongue with a smile.

If I leave, there's another person in this big room, shivering, right? I don't want that. And...... Uncle, ah no, general, you are the strongest person in this country, right?

In a way, yes.

Since you said you would help me, General, I'll give it a try. If the country is in danger, then the people I like will be hurt...... I'm going to make it impossible for bad people to bully good people. But what is the Emperor? a friend of the High Priest?

It is said that our country has had emperors in the past. If the High Priest is the one who communicates between God and humanity, then the one who unites the people and leads the people is the Emperor. Our country has the word 'empire' in its name, also because there have been emperors in the past.

But it's kind of scary...... Isn't there anything else but the emperor? a little lower than the emperor's status.

Listening to Ellie's sincere words, Jack was speechless. "A little lower than the Emperor, what is that?" The concept of the Emperor was still too foreign to the Celestial Realm.

Well...... If the emperor is below, she is probably the imperial daughter.

Then I'll be a princess.

However, the imperial daughter was supposed to be the emperor's daughter...... Forget it, it's okay to be an emperor when you grow up. Anyway, this country is obviously called an empire but there is no emperor, since this is the case, it is not wrong to say that the imperial daughter is the process before the emperor becomes an adult.

"If Belena were still alive, she would definitely laugh and say what kind of mess this is," a flash of thought suddenly ran through Jack's mind, but he quickly put it behind him and got up from his seat.

Then I'll take you as a promise, and it's time for me to go.

Are you going to run to be lazy again?

I also want to be lazy, but unfortunately no one can take the work off me. Please introduce me to a few of these people in the future.

Before stepping back, Jack saluted, and Elle returned the salute unskillfully. Before Jackett opened the door, Elijah seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly ran over and grabbed Jack's military uniform. Then, she whispered in Jack's ear, who was crouching.

Well, if I become a princess, I can get your daughter as a general, right? Can you let her be my friend?

My daughter is older than Elle, you. It's nothing for children to play together, I'm afraid that she always wants to put on her sister's shelf.

Wow, I want my sister. Can she be my sister?

Listening to Ellie's innocent words, Jack snorted.

If my daughter is the sister of the princess, what will I become? Please don't keep digging traps for me in this way. There were enough people out there who wanted my life.

Alas...... I'm sorry.

That's how adults are. Also, don't be childish all the time, run around when you're bored, please be quiet and stay well. Whether it's an emperor or a princess, I don't want to serve a lord who cries his nose during the enthronement ceremony.

...... Therefore, I think it is necessary to make Elle Jie the princess. I will actively promote this, above.

The meeting that decided that Elijah would succeed to the position of High Priest. Anyway, there is no other plan, and the House of Lords is considered to be formally recognized. If it had gone as planned, it would have been a serious, quiet meeting. However, the unexpected speech of the Supreme Commander of the Celestial Realm, Jack, has thrown what should have been a peaceful conference room into chaos.

How dare you call a princess......
