The king's dormitory in the palace of the South Wind Empire

A body that had already been emaciated to the shape of a human was lying on the bed, and from time to time there would be a painful and faint coughing sound coming from the wind-blown curtain, and even without the strength of the cough, it seemed that the person inside was already terminally ill and dying.

"Is he back?" An inaudible but slightly eager voice came from the mouth of the dying man on the bed, and the voice was hoarse and difficult, as if he had exhausted all his strength to spit out these words.

"Back to Your Majesty, the commander of the guard army has just reported that His Highness has just entered the palace gate and is hurrying over!" The chamberlain, who was waiting at the king's side, returned respectfully.

"Quick, help me up and change my clothes." The man on the bed shook his head slightly, and then tried to struggle to do this, and his originally godless black eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and he used all his strength to straighten up and sit on the edge of the bed and commanded the maid on the other side.

Seeing that the emperor had made such a painstaking move, all the maids and servants fell to their knees with a thud and said in unison: "Your Majesty, you must not!" Take care of yourself! ”

Hearing everyone's dissuasion, the man just wanted to get angry, but the scolding he just wanted to say was replaced by a more violent cough.

He looked majestically at the people kneeling on the ground, and finally squeezed out a few words; "Isn't it that I'm dying, so you don't have to listen to what I say?"

Sensing the anger beneath His Majesty, a clever maid hurriedly stood up to support him, and then carefully put on a coat for him.

Just open his arms and put on a piece of clothing, but it seemed to exhaust all the strength of the man, he staggered to his feet, but still fell down.

When everyone saw that His Majesty had fallen down again, they all stood up and stepped forward to help.

While everyone was in a hurry, an urgent voice came from outside the door: "Get out of the way!" ”

Everyone turned around and saw that the person who came was His Highness who they had been waiting for, and they all respectfully retreated to the side.

At this time, Nantian did not change his bathing and changing clothes, and he was completely a mercenary at this time. In order to pursue worry-free, the beard on his face may not have been shaved for a long time, so the whole person looks full of vicissitudes.

At this time, his face sank like water, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he walked in front of Nan Yu step by step with a complicated expression, knelt down, hugged him, and then stood up from the ground and gently carried him to the bed.

The corners of Nan Yu's mouth still had the residual black blood stains that he had coughed up just now, and Nan Tian picked up the towel handed over by the maid on the side to wipe it off for him, and his hands were already trembling slightly.

Nantian shook his head, and then the attendants all retreated under His Highness's cold gaze, and now there were only the two of them left in the entire room.

"Big brother!" A dry and tired voice came from Nantian's mouth, and the long-lost call was not like the coquettish when he was a child, but it was unusually warm.

Hearing this call, the originally unconscious man opened his eyes tremblingly.

Then he sat in front of his bed and officially didn't see his brother for a long time, suddenly he forgot about his illness, forgot his troubles, he smiled, a kind of smile as if relieved, for so many years, the entire South Wind Empire was pressed on him, he couldn't be as carefree as his younger brother, pursue his dreams, pursue freedom.

He is the emperor of a country, but he is a person who is not even qualified to have a dream, he does what he should do, and what he does not want to do is what he should do.

He also longed that he could be like his younger brother, pursue his dreams, and live the life he wanted to live. Because he couldn't do it, he pinned all his dreams on his younger brother, and let all the responsibilities be borne by himself, and handed over all the freedom to him, so that he could also live a wonderful life with his dreams.

The necromancer arrived, and although he panicked at first, he was secretly rejoicing later.

He has always known the upright character of his younger brother and the deep brotherhood with himself, so he has always been cautious that he directed and acted in the play of the people's sacrifice, but he was deliberately met by Nantian, in order to force Nantian to leave.

Because he knew that Nantian had always wanted to leave, but he couldn't let go of his brother, and he was his only concern, so he personally cut off the shackles that bound the eagle and let him fly freely. That was the first time they had an argument, and the first time he had beaten him.

originally thought that everything would be under his control, and he could unite all the major forces to defeat the necromancer, and he could continue to protect the empire for the rest of his life.

But he miscalculated after all, he didn't expect that the necromancer had the audacity to stretch out his minions to him, and for a long time he was controlled by the necromancer, and during the period of being controlled, sometimes he woke up, he was secretly glad that he let go of Nantian at that time, otherwise if he lost his mind and did something to hurt him, what kind of grief would it be.

Now, although the necromancer has been eliminated, his own body is already in tatters.

Who should control the empire with internal and external troubles now, he has let Nantian be free for three years, it's time to come back, and now even if he can't bear it, he can only hand over these responsibilities to him.

"It's good to be back!" Holding Nantian's harvest, Nan Yu weakly but clearly spit out a few words, looking at Nantian deeply with tired eyes, wanting to engrave him in his mind.

Hearing the simple but warm words, when thinking of this situation, even the strongest Nantian couldn't help but redden.

After the dispute that year, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, thinking that when he saw his brother again, he must still be the emperor of the Nanfeng Empire, and Nantian and the ministers listened to his majestic reprimand.

And now, his brother is about to die, and he will never regain his former look, and when he meets again, it is so desperate, just a few words, have expressed all Nanyu's emotions.

"Silly boy, what are you crying about, aren't I still dead, I can see you again before I die, my brother is already dead without regrets!" Nan Yu muttered in a low voice.

"No、、、 brother, you will never die, I will definitely let you die in front of me!" A sharp pain tore his heart apart, and Nantian shouted hysterically, his originally gloomy face seemed particularly comical and painful at this time, as if a wounded little beast was screaming at his mother who had died trying to save him.

"Xiaotian, it's my brother who is sorry for you! I thought that letting you go was the best choice for you, you don't belong to this palace, you are not suitable for the struggle of the royal family, you should be a free mercenary! But I overestimated my ability and didn't manage the South Wind well, and now the South Wind Empire has become so dilapidated is my brother's responsibility! His voice grew weaker. The back is almost inaudible.

"No, brother, you're right, the fault has always been me, and I didn't take the responsibility of being a prince! It's me who willfully shirks all the blame to you! It's that I shouldn't be naïve to think that a prince can have dreams! It's that I shouldn't have abandoned you when the country needed it most! It's all mine! Nantian knelt in front of his brother in pain and blamed himself.

Nan Yu looked at his younger brother who blamed himself so much, and suddenly felt relieved, and then said in an almost indistinguishable voice.

"Little day... You're not wrong... I planned your departure back then... Don't blame yourself... See you like this... I'm relieved... Little day... You've grown up... I already understand what responsibility is... I remember when you were a child, you used to tell your mother that the south wind is mine, and your mission is to travel all over the world... I was in my mind at the time... Secretly determined... Gotta let you fly... It's just a pity ... I can only buy you three years, and in these three years you have grown up... In the future, the South Wind Empire will be handed over to you... I'll just put it."

Before he finished speaking, the hand that was holding Nantian suddenly hung down weakly.

"No!" Nantian, who noticed the abnormality, was stunned for a moment, as if something in his head had been exploded, and then a roar shook the entire dormitory.

Nan Tian stood up and shook Nan Yu's body, and he shouted hideously: "How can you be so selfish, since I am a prince, I never thought that I could be free, and I never had a dream that I had myself, why do you blindly believe it." I tell you that I want to be an idle prince because I have seen too many heir fights, I don't want to be like that with my only brother, I don't want us to become pawns in other people's pursuit of power, so since I was a child, I don't like to learn, I am disobedient, and I always disobey my father's words, so that they have no choice, only you can protect the whole south wind. Why did you help me choose, and then left without saying a word, you are so selfish, why don't you take me with you! Do you want to see so much responsibility left in the hands of me? ”

questioned again and again, but no one could respond to him anymore.

The man who had protected him all his life had finally left him.

Holding his cold hand, they just sat like this, waiting for someone who would never wake up to say to him, "I'm sorry! ”

But Nantian's wish could not be fulfilled after all.
