"Because ......" Odin tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Father thinks that group of merchants is pitiful?" ”

"Pathetic?" As if to find the word interesting, Caesar grinned and said, "They are pitiful for losing rare goods for no reason, but that is not why I paid them." The reason why they are paid is because it is the law of the empire. ”

"However, I heard Hogg say that the Code was compiled and issued by my father." Odin asked suspiciously: "Father is the master and ruler of the empire, and he must also abide by these things?" Not...... It feels like you're tying yourself up with a rope. ”

"Tie yourself." Caesar said, "It is true that the Imperial Code was issued by the House of Targaryen, but we should also abide by these rules except in some special circumstances." ”

“…… Why? ”

"Because if it doesn't, the imperial system will collapse." Caesar said.

As the heir of the empire, it was time for Odin to establish some concepts and perceptions of the state, and the black dragon did not explain much about this sentence, but asked his daughter rhetorically: "My child, what do you think we use to rule this country and make it run?" ”

"Strength!"

Regarding this question, Odin blurted out without hesitation, "Father is the most powerful and powerful individual in the world, even Azrils can't beat Father." ”

From her teacher, Corgi, the Big-Eyed Corgi, Odin learns that the Bottomless Abyss is the enemy of the worlds and that the Demon Lord is one of the most powerful creatures in the astral plane, but she discovers that the Abyss Lord Azrils is no match for her father, and that the mighty Flame Lord is now locked in a cage called the Black Rock Mountain, where Caesar has taken her to see and told her not to go deeper.

Caesar's adoring tone and eyes were very helpful to Caesar, and he nodded appreciatively, "Yes, power is the foundation and guarantee of our ascension to the throne, but it is the rules that make the empire stable and prosperous. ”

"If we compare the empire to a flock of sheep, the Targaryen are the shepherds, we have the power to kill the sheep, but we do not control the energy and time of each sheep, when the flock is more than we can see, we must establish a set of rules to manage the flock and let them self-regulate, otherwise it will cause chaos and disaster."

"But that's all it takes." Odin's eyebrows furrowed, and her question was still unanswered, "Father, you still haven't told me why we, as shepherds, should follow the rules of the flock?" ”

"Shh

Caesar winked at her, made a silent gesture, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Because the sheep don't know what the shepherd is, they only treat us as the head sheep, which is very good, and can create more identity and security for the sheep, but at the same time, there is a problem, that is, as shepherds, we also need to obey the rules of the flock." ”

"Is that so?" Odin nodded in confusion.

"Yes, the rules of the flock need to be followed by each sheep, which is the basis for the flock to cooperate and coexist, and if they find out that a sheep can break the rules without being punished, more and more sheep will try to break through the shackles, and then the shepherd will be frustrated, and he will have to spend a lot of money, such as killing many sheep, in order to make the flock stable and obedient again."

Caesar said, "This is an outcome that all shepherds do not want to see." ”

Luna frowned when she listened to it, Caesar seemed to have completely misinterpreted her meaning, Xiao Xiaolong may not understand it, but she always felt that Caesar's "shepherd theory" contained some deep meaning, and when she thought about it, she was terrified in her heart, which was completely different from the concept of the country she received in the Elven Forest.

However, with Luna's little head, she thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't understand the true meaning of this theory, and when she saw the way the black dragon taught her daughter seriously, she was embarrassed to interject and interrupt it, and finally she could only leave this question behind and stop thinking about it.

"Go back to what your mother said before." Caesar went on to say, "As a royal family, you must be punished for breaking the rules and stealing from others and violating the laws of the empire unless you are in exceptional circumstances. Do you accept this? ”

Hearing that he was going to accept the punishment, Odin subconsciously peeked at his mother, who usually loved him the most, and found that Luna also had a serious face, and Xiao Xiaolong pursed his lips with an aggrieved expression.

"Everyone makes mistakes, not even the gods, it's not a big deal."

Caesar crouched down, looked into Odin's eyes, met her eyes, and softened his tone, "But as a descendant of Targaryen and the future master of the empire, after making a mistake, you should first have the courage to look at your mistakes, you can't lie, you can't run away, son, we don't need you to confess your mistakes to anyone, but you should at least be honest with yourself and know whether what you are doing is right or not." Your mother doesn't really want to punish you, but wants you to take the opportunity to learn from the experience and avoid repeating it next time. ”

"That'...... Good. Odin's expression was still a little reluctant, but he still nodded and floated in front of Luna: "Mother, I was wrong, and I am willing to accept punishment." ”

"Well, considering you didn't know if it was right to do it before, the first time you made a mistake." Luna hugged her and said, "Just punish you for sending your things back, and then apologize to the owner of the caravan, and pay compensation from your own little coffer." After coming back, he was not allowed to run outside for three days, and obediently went to the corgi teacher to take a spell class. ”

"Okay."

With his head drooping, Odin left the room with the capuchin and headed for the royal city accompanied by the orc guards.

Watching Odin leave, Caesar exhaled, he has no experience, he plays the role of a teacher for the first time, and wants to shape the child to the world view that he thinks is correct, some words Odin may not be able to understand for a while, but about courage and honesty, admitting mistakes and responsibility, experience and lessons, this child probably remembers.

As soon as Caesar's mood became lively, as soon as he looked up, he found that Luna was staring at him with an unkind face, and his heart sank again, and he had to ask hard, "Are you ......?"

In the next second, Luna jumped on his head, hugged the black dragon's ears and pulled them up, and said angrily and viciously: "You bad guy, you must make it clear today, what is going on between you and His Highness Garcia?" ”

"Huh?" Caesar was confused: "Me and Garcia?" Nothing. ”

"Not yet, then why did Odin call her little mother as soon as he saw His Royal Highness Garcia, so that we couldn't speak, don't tell me that little dragon was born like this, you must have done a lot of bad things behind my back! Hurry up and confess! ”
