Bard gently stroked the pillars in the main hall.

The location of each brick here is clearly imprinted in his mind, it is a fond memory of his childhood. At that time, he was a carefree child, and his father, King Elul, had high hopes for him, and every courtier also considered Prince Bard to be a rightful prince with the gift of kings. But as his health deteriorated, all this began to change, and one day the doctor concluded that Bard would not live to be thirty years old and that he could not have children.

In fact, Bard was already a young man at that time, and many princes in Palci history had already given birth to offspring at his age, but Bard had not even the slightest interest in the opposite sex. Of course, the throne of Palci could not be severed because of this, so the crown prince of Bard passed to his sister Alfritte.

Just as Bard was in deep thought, someone replied outside the hall: "Your Majesty, someone has been brought." ”

Bard came back to his senses and said, "Let him in, and you can step down." ”

"Yes."

After the voice of the guard, a figure stepped into the main hall, that is Airul, just over a month ago, the owner of this place was still Airul, but now it is only a prisoner, in this month, Airul's body has obviously aged, obviously the life of imprisonment is far more devastating to the spirit of the king than physical.

"Father."

"Bard."

When the father and son met again, they had already experienced something indelible, so much so that the original communication was limited to this simple conversation.

"You may be seated." Bard said as he sat back in the king's place.

"Thank you."

Bard clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, squeezing out a sentence, "Father." I'm sure you've heard about it, right? I, failed. ”

Airul's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although he was ousted from the throne by this son, when he heard his son say this. He still clearly felt the pain in his son's heart. However, the old king did not show any more wavering, and said, "Well, I have heard a little. This is the end that must be faced as a rebel. ”

"You must laugh at me in your heart, I'm a foolish boy who staged a stupid coup d'état, caused countless bloodshed, and only got back to square one."

"That's true. But I'm more surprised that you haven't lost your mind, so why did you start this unwinnable rebellion? ”

Bard smiled bitterly and said, "Half of the reason is Coercion by Kumbagir. In fact, I, the king, am just a tool for him to wield power, and I am just a banner to win hearts and minds. ”

"Then are you willing to be controlled by others and be a puppet king?"

"Father, you misunderstood me. I worked with him precisely because I saw that Khambagir's actions would not succeed, no, maybe I would have gained a temporary advantage, but in the end I would definitely fail. I just didn't expect it to be so short-lived. ”

Airul couldn't help but stand up and said, "Then what are you doing this for?" Just for the king of the month! Don't you know the laws of Palci? What will happen to the rebels! ”

"It's for the king of the month!" Bud suddenly roared, "I don't want to be forgotten by Palci!" Forgotten by you! Forgotten by all! Forgotten by history! I am your son! A member of the royal family of Palci! ”

The sound of Bard's roar echoed through the hall, and the sound froze Arul in place, and it was as if Bard himself had released the burden on his heart. The whole person slumped on the throne: "Bad, the eldest son of El Rul, King of Parchi. A sick prince who died young. I'm afraid this is the only text I can leave in history, and this kind of text will be forgotten when others read it. Rather than so. It is better to leave in the history books the notoriety of a rebel, a name that no one can ignore. A man who was unwilling to be seized from the throne and rebelled. ”

"Do you really think so?"

Bard nodded: "I am the Prince of Parci, how can I die in obscurity." Thankfully, God gave me this opportunity. I didn't think I would live to be 30 years old, but now I'm living two more years. Enough is enough. In the past two years, my body seems to be better than before, but I know it in my heart. My life force has come to an end, and it will always shine its brightest moment like a fire about to burn out of fuel. So why not make this last moment shine brighter? ”

"You're such an idiot."

Bard smiled sadly, nodded, and said, "Yes, father." ”

"So what are you going to do now? Under the attack of the north and the south, Palch can't hold it at all, and the city of Nirru is imminently besieged, what are your plans? ”

"Do what a king does! Father. Bud put away the expression on his face, changed back to a serious face, and said, "There are still things I have to do, I want you to witness it all by the side!" That's why I'm here. ”

Aroor looked at his son again, if it weren't for the pain that made Bard emaciated, he really looked like when he was younger, and at this moment Aroul seemed to go back in time, muttering, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

Bard sat up straight and waited quietly. Sure enough, after a while, someone from outside came to report: "Lord Poka, Master Kanas has arrived." ”

"Please."

"Yes."

After a while, the guards walked in with Polka and Kanas. Since the beginning of the rebellion, Poka and Kanas have become the commander-in-chief in charge of all the troops, but these two people are now downcast, Poka's defeat in the hands of Tatar has hit him hard, not to mention Li Tianhao himself, even a general under him can defeat himself, as a military general, Poka is ashamed of himself, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head in front of Bard, let alone look at King Arul; And Kanas defeated all the slave army, and almost died himself under the enemy's sword, which made him dazed and lost, and even forgot the proper etiquette in front of Bard.

Bard glanced at the two of them and said coldly, "Does the defeat of the war make the two of you so down?" ”

"Your Majesty, the incompetence of the ministers has caused the enemy army to overwhelm the border, and the ministers are willing to accept any punishment!" Polkadot said with his head down.

Bard sighed and said, "I want to know, now that we have no soldiers, no cities, and no food, it is impossible to win this war. Are you still willing to pledge your allegiance to me? ”

Poka raised his head abruptly and said, "Why did Your Majesty say this?" Although he is incompetent, if he is called a spineless person, he might as well die, if His Majesty doubts the loyalty of Weichen, please immediately behead him to show the public! ”

Bard nodded and said, "Good!" Then prove your loyalty. I command you to decapitate Karnath at once! ”

As soon as these words came out, Kanas, who had been in a daze, suddenly came to his senses: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The minister is also loyal to you! ”

"Shut up! Not to mention that you secretly united with the High Priest of Khambagir to control the ministers, control the political situation, and set aside my sins, you will die for the crime of defeating the fallen army! You see that you look lost and depressed, as a general, you are seen by the soldiers like this, where does the morale of the soldiers come from! If you lose, you will be defeated, and even if you die, you have to straighten your waist! What do I want people like you to do! Chadri! Don't do it yet! ”

Polkata replied yes, then drew his sword from his waist and swung it, sending Kanas's head tumbling to the ground.

Seeing that Kanas was dead, Bard picked up a book from his desk and said, "Lord Bokatas obeys!" Immediately lead the guards to arrest the criminals according to the list, and not a single one will be let go! ”

"Yes!" Polkada shook off the blood from his sword, put it back into its sheath, and then respectfully stepped forward to take the order and withdrew.

"Who are you going to arrest?" Waiting for Polkadot to leave, Arul asked.

Bard smiled bitterly and replied, "It's the masterminds who organized this rebellion." Although defeated, the nobility of Palci could not be punished by outsiders. Let them die with honor, and then, leave a clean piece of Palchi for Li Tianhao's guy, that person seems to have something to do in Palchi. ”

With that, Bard buried himself in the throne, as if he had exhausted all his physical strength from the scene just now. Aroul looked at his son and wept in his heart: this child must have burned himself to the ground, perhaps he himself had the intention of burning his life before the Dirs army arrived.
