Chapter 192: Cedric's Homeschooling

"Wow...... That is...... "Imperial capital Heimdall, Balfraim Palace, located in the deepest part of the palace "Crystal Garden", is the most frequent place where Emperor Yukent, who does not like to appear in public, most frequented. Almost every afternoon, after his meagre business, he would come to the garden to admire the garden he had helped design, and the rare flowers from all over the world. Occasionally, the Imperial Princess Priscilla, or the Imperial courtiers who came to the palace on errands, were invited to accompany her—in short, it was a place to relax for the Emperor.

However, there was something unusual about today, because the Emperor, who had always come here in the afternoon to spend his leisure, got up early this morning, and then simply cleaned up, and went to the crystal garden early, and ordered the see-through paint on the windows to be hidden—the garden was designed in a one-way way, at the expense of a small part of the view inside the garden, and on the pretext of protecting the emperor's personal privacy—in other words, the outside could see the outside from the inside, but from the outside could not see what was going on inside. Although such a design has not yet fully matured in the Semlia continent, so the emperor himself usually has been somewhat affected by the lighting here, but after all, this is to protect privacy, so he reluctantly accepts it. But today was a big day, and he didn't want to miss even the slightest detail because of such a design. For this matter, he even specially ordered Cedric to cancel this morning's training course for the crown prince, just so as not to miss the details of this time - Cedric, who learned his father's intentions, was also very happy and looking forward to it, and at this moment he was discussing what his father had just told him with his mother Priscilla.

"I've asked many times...... But the elder brother refused to tell me the details, only that the "Red Wings" were already being built. Although Cedric is the crown prince, he is obviously a little weak in character that does not fit his identity, and at this moment, in the absence of others, he is actually coquettish to his mother: "Ah, I didn't expect it...... When my father told me just now, I almost lost my temper. ”

"Really." Princess Priscilla smiled and touched her son's cheek affectionately, "Olibat, he won't tell you because you don't know anything about the profession yet—besides, he didn't even hide it from me and your father until a few days ago he brought the news that they would make their first voyage over the imperial capital this morning." ”

"I see...... But why? Cedric asked, confused, and Priscilla's smile froze slightly.

“…… Because only in this way can it have enough effect. Emperor Yukent, who was on the side, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "If the plan is told early, it will definitely leak to the aristocracy, reformers, and other forces, and the media will also pass on all kinds of gossip." If that happens, the Red Wing's first voyage will lose much of its significance. ”

"......" Priscilla's eyes darkened. Why didn't she understand this? She just doesn't want her son to be exposed to these things in the power field too early, even if this is his destined fate and an inescapable choice.

"Your brother, you have chosen a path that is difficult but could change the whole country if you succeed." Yukent was clearly choosing, too, and wanted his son to understand and accept these truths, "and there is never an outright ally in politics - by the bond of interests, no matter how unbreakable, the moment the common good is realized, there will be a possibility of a rupture." So, no matter what your brother's attitude towards Prime Minister Osborne or Duke Kane may seem to you on the surface, sooner or later, they will have various forms of conflict - and this is just the simplest "greeting" level. ”

“…… Similar words are mentioned in the book. Cedric hung his head and whispered, "These...... Is it inevitable? ”

"You're going to take it slowly." Yukente's tone slowed, "And it has to be accepted." There is an old saying in the East that when an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent, and the same is true for a country. Even I, the Emperor, the head of Erebonia, a vast empire with a thousand-year-old heritage and heritage, am just a more advanced pawn. It is impossible for anyone to stay out of the situation, it has nothing to do with personal grievances and preferences, but when you are in that position, you have to do it, and a qualified person will not be affected by these personal grievances to judge the situation. You have to keep this in mind. ”

“…… Be. Although Cedric's eyes showed that he had a lot more to say, he was cowardly by nature and did not ask, but only replied against his will. Of course, the Emperor sensed that there was confusion and doubt in his son's heart, but that was only the way it had always been, and he just sighed inaudibly, and ignored it—or maybe, as Gillias had said, some things needed some unforgettable experiences to change completely.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. It's almost time, so keep your eyes open and take a good look at what your brother is going to do next. ”

"Yes, father." Hearing this, Cedric's mood also improved a lot, after all, Olibart was still a person he was very close to and trusted—but he had always had an inexplicable awe and longing for someone like Prime Minister Osborne, but when he tried to mention this point in front of his brother, Olibart showed a very terrible and gloomy face—although those negative emotions did not seem to be angry because he had asked such a question, Cedric still somewhat regretted asking it at the time. Olibat, however, only gives an assessment of Prime Minister Osborne — the same as that of the social commentators that Cedric had seen in some newspapers and periodicals. It's just that after this incident, he no longer talks to Oliebat about anything about the prime minister.

However, for some reason, at this moment, Cedric's mind suddenly flashed the shadow of another person - the boy who had a good conversation with his sister Elfin, and even made his father and mother think about it, the elder brother repeatedly mentioned that Heliga, who is young next year but has bottomless strength.

If it were him, what would he say?

With this in mind, Cedric's somewhat glazed eyes kept looking at the ceiling with the one-way blackout removed—until a flash of red swept through the clear blue sky.
