Chapter 2025: What is a King?
Remove a roasted white fish, peel off the burnt scales, and hand it to the Elven Empress.
At first, Her Majesty's expression was refusal, but when she was surrounded by the smell of fragrant grilled fish, she swallowed her spit out of her image, and then hesitated to take the grilled fish, first turning it over and over again, then tearing off a piece of fish, hesitating for a moment, putting it in her mouth, and chewing it carefully.
After chewing for less than a minute, the empress's expression became wonderful, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked surprised.
I smiled, "How does it taste?" ”
"Very tasty," Her Majesty said without thinking.
I moved my eyebrows and teased, "I'm very honest~"
The Empress's cheeks instantly turned crimson.
After a little teasing of the Empress, I peeled off the scales and skinned the fish and took a big bite of the fish.
While feasting, I told the Empress about my bloodline.
The Elven Empress listened while eating, eating with relish, listening to it as if she was fascinated, and when she finished speaking, she put aside the cleanly gnawed fish bones, clapped her hands, and said, "It's really unexpected that you have such a deep relationship with Moonlight City." ”
"Isn't this normal," I said, picking out a skewer of grilled white fish and handing it over, tearing off the scales and skin by the way, "Actually, it's not just me, maybe there are many people who also have ancient blood, but they don't know it." ”
As I spoke, I raised my head and gazed at the Empress's pretty face.
"What's wrong?" The Empress was overwhelmed by my gaze: "Is it something strange on my face?" ”
"What do you want," I smiled, "I just want to see more beautiful women." ”
The Empress was ashamed, and pretended to be angry, and moved her position a few inches away from me.
Shaking my head with a smile, I changed the subject and asked, "Has Grandma the Empress studied that historical document lately?" ”
The Elven Empress thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "No, she hasn't looked at the historical documents since she put them in the forbidden land. ”
"Well," I said thoughtfully, "I thought she would study it seriously, or maybe she wasn't interested in historical documents." ”
When I was stunned, the Empress habitually stretched out her hand to me after eating the second white fish like a whirlwind.
I was stunned at first, then laughed.
The Empress looked at me inexplicably at first, but quickly reacted, quickly withdrew her hand, covered her face and moaned.
As before, I peeled off the skin of the third white fish, handed it over, and said, "That's right, if you like it, you have to eat it in a big gulp, otherwise how can you have fun and be happy?" ”
The Empress took the white fish in shame, turned around, and took a small bite.
I didn't look at her either, and continued: "Life is the Lord in this world, and if everything doesn't go as planned, what is the meaning of life? ”
The Elven Empress listened silently, suddenly trembled, seemed to think of something, turned around, and said faintly: "Your idea is too ideal, there are sweet and bitter in life, and everything can't go well." ”
I asked rhetorically, "Then tell me, what is suffering for?" ”
"Suffering is for ......" she was speechless for a moment, lost in thought.
"It seems that you must have thought of the answer too, bitter, for sweetness."
Seeing that she still didn't speak, I continued: "You don't have to be entangled, in fact, bitterness and sweetness coexist, without bitterness, how can you taste the deliciousness of sweetness, and how can you taste the sourness of crying without sweetness." ”
Sighing lightly, I moved my steps, leaned over to her, and said, "The bitterness and sweetness here can be completely replaced by Akahavi and you, if Akahavi doesn't give up his identity as the eldest prince and doesn't compromises to join the organization he belongs to now, how can you stabilize the overall situation of Moonlight City for so many years?" ”
"Managing the government is not only about benevolence and good, but also about evil and ruthlessness, think about how several elders excluded you when you were in power, and they could even manipulate you and issue a decree that completely deviated from your intentions, have you ever thought about this?"
"Kindness, kindness, unassertive goodness, and omnipotent forgiveness" I said slowly: "Look at the current Moonlight City, although it is still not a united mind, but at least there are no nobles who dare to openly betray, think about this because of this?" ”
The Elven Empress looked at me, and stopped talking several times.
"Actually, you know the reason better than I do, you are close to the Empress Grandma, and you know the reason in more detail," After a pause, I continued: "But you refuse to say, even if you know, you don't want to say, why? Is it because you're still expecting Akahavi to come back one day and take your place as the king of Moonlight City? ”
"I advise you to die," I shook my head and said, "He can't replace you, and he is not qualified to replace you......"
There was a crisp sound, and my cheek ached slightly.
The Elven Empress gritted her teeth and slapped me in the face: "Don't talk about him like that!" ”
I was slapped in the face, but my heart was very calm, and I didn't even have the slightest anger.
"I know you admire Akahavi, and I know that you like him, but I don't tell you, I respect him a lot, and envy him," I said calmly, "handsome, strong, gentle, and selfless...... I can't think of any derogatory words to describe him, because he's so perfect, and yet, even if I respect him, I still have to say that he is inferior to you, and far less than you, in terms of being the king of the elves. ”
"Do you know why?" I poked my head out and met the Empress, and in her eyes I read the confusion: "Because, kindness." ”
"To tell you the truth, Akahavi is one of the kindest people I've ever met, and one who once saved my life, but he died because of it" I was a little gloomy, thinking of the fanatical believer, of the man who stood in my way and took the fatal blow for me: "In this cruel world, good people will be bullied, and people who are too kind will be very unfortunate. ”
"In addition to being too kind, Akahavi is too selfless, he would rather sacrifice his freedom, and even everything he has, in exchange for the safety of you and your two sisters, such a person is not suitable to be a king" As I spoke, I raised my head and met the empress's pure gaze: "Do you understand what I mean?" If Akahavi becomes king, Moonlight will have a hard time, and then be seized from power, and in the end, he will only be a puppet king, at the mercy of others, and your family will also be at the mercy of mermaids. ”
The Elven Empress sniffled, and just now, she shed a few tears.
I took out my handkerchief and handed it to the empress, and I continued: "For the sake of your brother, for the sake of your sister, and for the sake of your country, you have to change, at least you can't eat as before, there are so many sayings about eating some meat, but like just now, you can eat what you want, you want to want, you want it, this is the king!" ”
