After some time, Sebastian regained consciousness, and he found himself in a burning pain, a pain in his head, and his ears were still ringing. He opened his eyes www.biquge.info found himself lying on the bed, Olaf sitting beside him, and said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister is awake." ”

The attendant hurriedly came with a glass of water, Olaf helped him up, he supported his body with his hands, his elbows and shoulders hurt, his tongue was dry like sand, there was no saliva, he drank desperately, his mouth was tearing pain, he frowned, and drank the boiling water.

"What's wrong with me?" he asked slowly, after a long time.

Olaf sighed, helped the pillow behind his back, and replied: "His Majesty the Emperor was cut in the abdomen by the eldest prince, and the eldest prince himself was knocked away by a frightened horse, everyone was scared silly, many spectators chose to flee, the flow of people was like a flood, the slow runners were swallowed up by the flow of people behind, people trampled on each other, and the death and injury situation was not optimistic." I saw you scream, then fall to the ground, roll down the steps, and hit your head. The gold-robed and red-robed men formed a human wall to escort the queen, the second prince and the ministers away, and the knights of the imperial guard led the warriors to rush through the crowd in reverse direction to save the emperor and the eldest prince. ”

Sebastian's heart tightened, he supported his body hard, and wanted to get up: "Your Majesty the Emperor, how is His Royal Highness the Great Prince?"

"His Majesty's abdomen was cut open by the giant sword of the Great Prince's hands, the opening was very deep, and the internal organs came out. Olaf frowned, "The eldest prince has been unconscious since he was hit by a horse. The scholar said that he could be crippled for life, and that it would be nice to wake up. ”

Sebastian gasped. His heart felt like it was torn apart, and it was like a nightmare. He had always tried to avoid accidents, he had the master craftsmen build sewers outside the city to prevent the sanitary situation from deteriorating, he sent the red robes into the inner city to help the golden robes maintain law and order, and he repeatedly had all the facilities in the arena inspected. When the celebration reached the end, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and the accident of the emperor and the eldest prince smashed into the water like a stone, telling him that everything he called safe and sound was a reflection in the water, and it was broken at the touch of a button.

He regretted it very much, he should fully support Empress Ivana, even if he was tied, he would tie the eldest prince to his seat, and he would not be allowed to participate in the knight group competition, and he should not have acquiesced in the emperor's participation in the team competition when His Majesty the emperor was talking to him secretly. If only Kajielun Young were here, he would have blocked the door, unless the Emperor stepped on his own body.

At this time, the herald hurriedly took the scepter, trotted all the way, and said, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Emperor has a please. ”

"How is Your Majesty?" he whispered.

“…… In short, His Majesty is waiting for you, 100,000 urgent. The herald glanced at Olaf and replied.

Sebastian sat in the sedan chair with the support of his attendants, and he leaned against the sedan chair like a deflated ball, swaying from side to side as the sedan chair swayed. Every time the sedan chair shook, his stomach turned upside down.

Defend the city. His Majesty's Imperial Majesty was home to Empress Ivana, Caesar, the second prince, Winston, the chief of intelligence, Bill, and the Minister of Justice, Fred Mann. As soon as Sebastian stepped into the palace, he heard the roar of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, poppy poppy flower milk helps with pain relief and sleep ......," said the scholar with a slight trembling degree, holding a glass of white milk in his hand.

"your pain and sleep!Get me brandy and whiskey!Wine can also relieve pain!" His Majesty the Emperor snorted.

"Your Majesty, you can't drink ......"

"Shut up, I'm a dying man, can't I drink a little wine?" His Majesty the Emperor glared angrily, so frightened that the scholar hunched his back and didn't know what to do.

"Bring him wine, good brandy, but, my dear, you can only drink a little. Empress Ivana said to the attendants, and then whispered softly, holding the hand of His Majesty the Emperor, and said.

Sebastian limped, and with every step he took, his ankle hurt, and he must have been twisted when he fell down the steps. He saw His Majesty the Emperor lying on the bed, his face sweating, his lips white, and he had long lost his domineering spirit in the arena. He fought through his grief, his back seemed to tear, and he tried to bend down, but his knees could not bend.

Seeing Sebastian, who was unsteady on his feet and grinning because of pain, His Majesty the Emperor smiled and laughed: "Prime Minister, you are not much better than me, don't kneel, you can't stand up if you kneel." ”

Sebastian choked back tears, compared to him, His Majesty's injuries were much more serious, and he saw that blood was oozing from the quilt.

"How is Brandett?" asked the scholar, "don't lie, or I'll screw your head." ”

"Your Majesty...... After the eldest prince was knocked down by a horse, he has been unconscious, with multiple fractures, and Weichen is afraid ......" The scholar swallowed, and then knelt down, "Forgive me for being incompetent, I'm afraid that the injuries of Your Majesty and the eldest prince, only Schultz can have a way to ......"

"Don't lie, I can't wait for him to come. His Majesty the Emperor sighed deeply and fell into a brief silence, he looked up at the ceiling, and for a long time, said, "I hurt Brandt......"

Empress Ivana didn't say a word, lowered her head and sobbed.

His Majesty the Emperor withdrew his hand from Empress Ivana's hand, and without looking at the Empress, waved Sebastian to the bedside.

"Sebastian, I'm dying. There are a few things to please, I heard that you are good at drawing, when the time comes, give me a portrait of the frame, hang it on the portraits of the emperors of the past dynasties, you know how to paint. His Majesty the Emperor smiled, took the horn cup, took a sip of brandy, and immediately coughed up, and coughed up blood.

Sebastian bit his lip, his heart like a knife: "Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to draw ...... I'll show you ...... after I'm done."

"Look at the fart, don't fool me, I have a good heart, Thor is going to summon me back. His Majesty the Emperor turned his head to look at the scholar, the chief of intelligence, and the minister of justice, "Scholar, remember it for me, if you miss a word, I will unscrew your head." Those of you who are here have heard clearly. ”

He coughed a few times and took another sip of the bloody brandy: "Brandy is good, it helps me...... Stay awake. Listen up: I, the rightful heir of the great kingdom of Gusselves...... Go to his title, add the title yourself, Bachelor, I say the point: appoint Sebastian, the prime minister, as regent, to manage all the affairs of the empire as an agent, and to have the supreme power to rule the imperial army until ...... The eldest prince recovered," he hesitated, "or the second prince is an adult." ”

Sebastian was shocked, he pounced, fell to his knees, and knelt down in front of His Majesty's bed: "Absolutely not, I ......"

"you, Sebastian, I said you can. "His Majesty the Emperor took the suicide note written by the scholar and signed it.

"Your Majesty......" Sebastian suddenly felt like he was on the edge of the abyss, he never thought of taking charge of the empire, he just wanted to be a painter, His Majesty's last words pressed down the burden of a thousand catties, and he couldn't breathe.

"Don't let me down. Come, have one last drink with me. His Majesty the Emperor handed Sebastian the cup, a smile in the corner of his eye, and tears in his eyes. His Majesty's hand holding the horn cup trembled.

Sebastian took the cup, and the smell of blood and alcohol rushed to his nose. He didn't want His Majesty to be sad anymore, he didn't want His Majesty to die and not feel at ease, he took a sip of brandy, the originally sweet and mellow brandy was washed away by the smell of blood, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the brandy into his stomach.

"Huh...... Let me drink a little......" His Majesty smiled and took the cup. His hand suddenly became weak in the air, the horn cup fell to the ground, and when Sebastian looked up, he found that His Majesty the Emperor had closed his eyes forever, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

On May 17, 100 years of the imperial calendar, the orthodox heir of the great Kingdom of Gusselwice, the immortal Rhodes Empire, the great Emperor Auguste Rudolf, died of serious injuries in an accident due to participating in the Imperial Celebration Knight Team Competition, at the age of 39.

A few days later, the coffin of His Majesty the Emperor was laid to rest in the cathedral, and the bishop presided over the farewell ceremony of the remains. Lords, governors, and slightly famous nobles from the major provinces came to see them off, and the crowds of people in the city occupied the long streets. The coffin was pulled by a horse-drawn carriage through the long street, and people knelt down in hula, and the crowd was like the waves of the sea, and they all brushed down.

As the regent, Sebastian accompanied the queen and the second prince to witness the burial procession of the church and store His Majesty's coffin in the royal tomb.

On that day, the clouds above Thundercastle were thick, lightning and thunder, and torrential rain was slanting down, which was extremely rare in the middle of the empire in mid-May.

"Thor has summoned His Majesty back. The scholar wiped his nose and tears, and his old body was supported by a cane, and he whispered.

Sebastian was so grief-stricken that he almost fainted from crying. Although His Majesty is an alcoholic and has a bad temper, you can feel his political wisdom and fatherly love as a father in the details. Sebastian recalls that when he came to Thundercastle, it was spring, and it was His Majesty the Emperor who appreciated him, and it was His Majesty the Emperor who promoted him. The person he trusted most in Thundercastle was now gone. The torrential rain in his heart swallowed his body, he was cold and afraid, and his body trembled slightly. He suddenly remembered the prophet's prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad:

When the sun rises in the west, the sea in the south moves northward, and when the moon sets in the east, the wind blows down the snow. The empire is a hundred years old and will never be returned.

No, it can't be. I'm not going to let that happen. He swore in his heart that the lightning in his heart pierced the sky, the torrential rain was still falling, and he endured the cold and pain, and looked into the distance.

Under the heavy rain, the water level of the Suluz Canal rose, and the artificial canal that ran through the imperial mainland can be seen in the royal tombs. The empire is like the Suruz Canal, which has a long history. Suddenly, lightning pierced the sky, white light streaked across the canal, and the rain intensified.
