Chapter 167: The Emperor's Honesty (2-in-1)
Unlike Viscount Yarsside's complicated emotions at that time, Mateus Van Dahl was just out of curiosity at this moment.
Therefore, he did not say nothing directly like Victor and greeted with the mystery of "Vanderliu", and Helliga naturally did not need to fully display his strength. Besides, he couldn't be sure which side the emperor was on. He is Oliebat's biological father, and it is true that he has given Olibat a lot of help, but Prime Minister Osborne, who is regarded by Olibat and himself as a thorn in his side and an enemy who will sooner or later need a decisive battle, is also promoted by him, and intentionally or unintentionally allowed this reformer to this point.
Matthaus didn't use the Ucan, and Hyliga didn't come up with the "Dragon Form" - he simply showed off some of the spells he would normally use. Rao is like this, which also surprises the emperor and Thor, who have never seen this kind of method.
"Indeed...... This is not what a tactical force guide can achieve. I didn't see any signs of him manipulating the rest of the equipment...... The power of those elements, he emitted by his own abilities and thoughts. ”
"It's not some other ancient power, it's not related to the curse of this country...... "What the hell ......is this?" ”
"Cursed?" Heiliga noticed the wording of Yukent—something similar to Rossey's.
Combined with the suspicious old schoolhouse, which was ordered to be renovated while Emperor Drakells was still alive, and the words of Arian Hurd, Heliga had long been suspicious of what was secretly brewing in this empire, but he had never been able to get a breakthrough. In the last conversation, Emma inadvertently revealed that there is such a thing as the "Black History Book" in the world, which seems to record the historical process and some inevitability of the future - but Helliga also quickly gave up the idea of looking for these things, and there is no beginning or end at all.
The emperor's words made him suddenly realize that he had made a lot of trouble on the surface of the empire, but in fact, he didn't fully make good use of his intelligence network for the content of the empire. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the conspiracy in the secret of the entire continent is almost inseparable from the church and association, and he has always avoided actively rubbing into things related to "association".
"Hehe, it seems that you don't know anything." Heliga's words also surprised the emperor again. Perhaps he didn't expect Helliga to react to this word at all, but the emperor's brows soon relaxed, "It's just that there are some things that haven't been known yet...... Therefore, it cannot be made public. Or even if it were to do it now, it wouldn't make any sense. ”
"Your Majesty......"
"I know what I'm talking about. Mateus, I changed my mind for the time being...... When we go back in a while, you should avoid it first, I have some things here, I'm afraid it's not convenient for others to know. ”
“…… I understand. As if trying to refute it, Mateus finally said nothing and accepted the emperor's orders.
"The little girl next to you...... At this stage, it's best not to let her come with you. Yukent turned his gaze to Filipino again. Somehow, Helliga always felt that Yukent's expression was a little subtle now, as if he was secretly trying to express and test something, and of course Heliga couldn't let Fei suffer: "You know, no matter what it is, I won't hide it from her afterwards." ”
"Even when it comes to the deepest secrets of this country?" Yukent frowned.
"If it's something that is so important, you'd better not tell me." Hailiga was-for-tat.
"No need...... If it's really something important. "Feye doesn't mind these things, because she's not as perceptive as Helica—the Emperor doesn't just have a superficial meaning.
"You ......" Matthaus on the side was a little angry, obviously it was Helika's attitude towards the emperor that annoyed him a little.
"Forget it." The emperor waved his hand and smiled bitterly, the attitude that made Heliga feel a little uncomfortable just now was gone, "Don't say it...... It's really similar to Olibat. You two are really all the way, no wonder you are walking together now. ”
"......" At this moment, Yukent seems to mean something again?
————————————————————————
It's still the room where I just met the emperor. The difference was that there were no Faye and Mateus in the room this time: the latter had faithfully carried out the Emperor's orders, while the former had just really little interest—at least for now.
The maid, who poured black tea and put desserts, also left the room on the emperor's orders. On the luxurious sofa, two people, one old and one young, were looking at each other with a complicated gaze at this time.
"Treat your peers more than your political life – you and Olibart are just as much as they are. He is because he follows his mother's character, as for you...... I don't know. ”
"Her Highness Olivebat's mother?" Heliga whispered that Olibat had never told him about it. Although Oliebart avoided talking about it himself at the beginning, Heliga knew that if he asked now, Olibat would definitely tell himself and the whole world - but for now, there was no need for that.
"What? Don't you know? Yukent seemed surprised that Haliga didn't know about it, "Hmm...... I think it's because he's just got bogged down in work when he came back from Liber, and he doesn't have the time or opportunity to talk about it. ”
"Hmm...... Since His Highness returned home on the "White Wing", there has not been much opportunity for small talk. Even if there is occasional contact, it's just something very formal. Heliga nodded.
"Well, it's not a big deal anyway. Basically, the nobles who are known and famous know these ...... Although I know your father, he doesn't like things between these nobles. Yukent said lightly, "It doesn't hurt to talk to you." ”
Yukent's story about Oliebat was indeed the first time Heliga had heard of it. It turned out that Olibat's mother was a woman of civilian origin, and she and the Emperor Yukent met at the Tolz Military Academy. After falling in love, the two were like glue, and Yukent did not have the intention of taking her to the palace and canonizing her as the imperial concubine, but her commoner status made her marriage with the emperor unanimously opposed. In the end, the sensible woman, in order not to bother Yukent, left the palace alone, and gave birth to Olibat alone, but in the end she died because of the intrigues and tricks of the aristocratic faction - because of the constraints and hindrances of the aristocratic faction, the emperor has not been able to make up for this regret.
"......" Heiliga did not speak. He knew that the power of the nobles had almost split the entire empire into several independent countries when it had reached its peak, and the royal family also had a tendency to be vaguely set aside, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen - the emperor's lifelong event, although to a certain extent, could not be as he wished, and some multi-faceted factors must be taken into account, and it could never be solved simply, but it was not like the mother of Yukent and Olibat, the emperor himself had no way at all. Moreover, although Yukent did not say it, Heliga heard a hidden news while listening to the story: not long after the death of Olivebat's biological mother, it was the beginning of the "Hundred Days War" and the coming to power of Prime Minister Osborne.
"After that, the nobles led by the "Four Famous Families" began to take care of my marriage." Yukent continued to tell his story, seemingly completely unaware of the events that had saddened him so much, "It was at that time that I decided to take care of Priscilla, who had been the daughter of an inferior aristocratic family, and took care of my daily life—I liked her very much, but I did not deny that I had a hint of revenge against the aristocracy at that time. Because Priscilla is also from an aristocratic background, and perhaps because of my emotions, the aristocratic faction can only compromise on this. Priscilla never took Olibat, a commoner-born concubine, seriously, but educated and nurtured her own son...... Eventually, Olibarth's cold appearance since his mother's death finally changed, and he finally began to think of Priscilla as if she were his real mother. Subsequently, Elphine and Cedric were born, and when he took care of his younger siblings, he also took care of them as if they were his own biological siblings. ”
“……”
"You must be thinking that this is what I then helped Osborne to the political stage, and then fought the aristocracy in my place, right?" Yukent was the emperor after all, the head of state, and he knew what Heliga was thinking, "Olibert had asked me this earlier—and you were just thinking about it. But, as a politically relevant figure, you don't really have to think like that, you know? ”
“…… There are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests. Heiliga remembered what her father used to say, "That's what politics is all about...... Is that what you're trying to say? ”
Yukent didn't speak, just bowed slightly, and the right should be acquiescing.
"Olibat may not be as good as you in this regard. He can't hide things in his heart, and when he judges someone to be trustworthy, he will take the initiative to communicate, even if some questions are almost too stupid to be said. But essentially, both of you count the favor on the books as more important than the actual thing. I was just a little tempted, and you fought with me mercilessly, completely ignoring my face as an emperor - and the girl next to you, who didn't even understand what I was saying, is very telling—to different degrees, but you are the same type of characters, and that's why you came together. ”
"Your Majesty, please." Heliga said that the emperor had already spoken out, and it was time for him to make a statement and not continue to go around like this.
"Good. Then I'll get straight to the point. Everything Gillias Osborne does, I was behind the scenes, and I knew everything. In both the superficial and deep sense, I don't think what he did was wrong, so I acquiesced and delegated authority to him. Given this consideration, and my position as a father, I can't possibly go to Olibat myself to remind him of this, so I can only find you as an intermediary and a sounding board - if he continues to stick to his previous path, then one day, he will have a merciless duel with Osben who has my backing on his way - you have to tell him and make him figure out what he is doing. ”
Very good. Heliga thought to himself that the Emperor was happy enough this time to tell his true purpose without any delay. The deliberate hint that Alfin had come to respond to him was just a small test, and his statement on the issue of Olibart and Osborne was his real purpose. Of course, what Heiliga didn't know was that it was he who greatly accelerated and advanced the process, and it was precisely because of his own existence that Osborne saw the threat from Olive's faction more quickly. It would be nice if Heliga was a powerful person with no obvious political leanings at the moment, but now that he has consciously or unconsciously released his relationship with Olibat, and used it to attract the heat of discussion within the empire, it has proved a lot of problems. Because Olibat, after all, is the son of Yukent and a member of the royal family, Osborne cannot directly deal with other political opponents, but must take care of Yukent's emotions. On Yukent's side, the willingness to accept such a request already shows that the relationship between him and Osborne is extraordinary.
"Also, since you already know this story of the royal family, and the tragedy of me, Oliebat, and her mother, then I don't mind talking to you about Elfin." Yukent said to himself, "Although she was born into a royal family, Elphin has many advantages that ordinary people do not have, and she is surprisingly not delicate. I can't bear to let her fall into the whirlpool of political struggles as soon as she becomes an adult, and be used by the big nobles as a tool for their sons to negotiate relations with the royal family and pass on the family lineage - so I won't interfere too much in the relationship between you and her. Just, don't let me hear that you're sorry for her...... The Imperial Boy has been romantic since ancient times, but I don't want him to follow a playboy who only knows how to play with other people's feelings. Although judging from the performance just now, you are not that kind of person. ”
"......," Helliga laughed dumbly. Soft and hard, slapping a candy, first succinctly and clearly gave Oliebar and himself a slap in the head, and then took Alfin out to comfort himself - the emperor's hand is really a thief, and it is impossible for him not to ease his emotions. It seems that it is now possible to draw conclusions, as mentioned in the various news and articles I saw before, Yukent III was overthrown by Osborne, and now he is completely a puppet emperor.
However, in addition to these very practical things, since he had already said it, Heliga didn't care about it, and wanted to seize this rare opportunity to ask some things that he usually didn't know about at all.
