Chapter 185: The Emperor's Enlightenment
"In other words, the empire is already in name only?"
A gray-haired man sat on a simple bed, his chest was bandaged, he looked about sixty years old, his hair was as coloured as an old man in middle age, but his eyes were burning like an ambitious young man.
He is the Emperor of the Empire, Bag the Great.
On the side of the Empire, he is dead, and it is rumored that he has been devoured in the torrent of demonic beasts, and no one would have imagined that the emperor is still alive.
But now he is no longer an emperor.
"Your Majesty, now the empire has existed in name only, as I just told you, after Doyle disappeared, the demon king directly launched an attack on the imperial capital, and the imperial capital has now become a ruin, and the defeat on the front line has also caused problems within the empire, and the current situation is that the seven gods of the king occupy their own territories, and Elbert, as a nominal agent, is manipulated by the Holy See to control the empire."
Walter knelt on one knee in front of the bed, and in clear and logical words, he counted everything that had happened in the past six months.
She told the other party all the situation, of course, including the process of her own rebellion, it doesn't matter now, because the other party no longer has the right to punish herself, Walter told the truth to the other party, just to let the emperor recognize his position, if the emperor who is not dead can stand on his side, then the heinous crimes committed by the previous rebellion can also be forgiven, and with the emperor's appeal, it will be easier to revive the empire.
After listening to my words, Bagg showed a relieved smile, he stared at Walter, reached out and lifted the patched quilt, got out of bed and walked to the door, opened the door, the wind blew from the door, ruffled his messy gray sideburns, the king's gaze kept piercing the thick mist, staring at the brilliant light caused by the spell in the distance, he didn't seem to particularly care about the fall of the empire.
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, you're injured, please come back, although this place is shabby, but in a few days, I will be able to make Your Majesty's life a little better, until then, please bear with me." Walter walked over to Bagh and persuaded.
The accommodation environment in Fort Quito is very poor, generally only provide rooms, furniture or something is not used by the people in front of you, or you bring it with you, there is no shop here, naturally there will be no soft quilts and comfortable bed boards, the bed in this room is also made of trees by Walter temporarily, she thinks that the emperor can not sleep on the hard ground at least.
"Walter, I want to go out and blow the wind, come with me."
Hearing this, Walter was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement, His Majesty the Emperor wanted someone to accompany him, how could he not agree.
After shielding the left and right, she and Bag the Great walked up to the walls of Quitoburg.
In the cool breeze of the night, Bag the Great walked silently, like a lion in the twilight.
"Walter, I didn't expect you to actually do it." Suddenly, he spoke.
This sentence stopped Walter's footsteps, and then she followed in Bag's footsteps again, and asked after her, "Your Majesty, are you ...... What does it mean? ”
"You started a rebellion to get revenge on Elbert."
When he said this, Bagh kept smiling, but it was Walter, who was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he answer: "No, I am just trying to make life better for the people." ”
"Really? You were born in the Aveline family, if I remember correctly, your family should be second only to the five major families, and you are a rare female knight in history, whether it is morality or strength, it is impossible to find fault, a smart person like you should have long realized that the empire is impossible to change easily. ”
Emperor Bagg walked on the city wall, speaking slowly like educating a junior, and there was no reproach in his words, but as if he wanted to mention something about Walter.
"Walter, do you think I'm a wise emperor?"
Hearing this, Walter was stunned for a moment, and then said without thinking: "You are a wise ruler, which can be seen from the fact that you are the first to be on the front line, if you are a person who is greedy for life and death, and greedy for pleasure, how can you put life and death aside." ”
"What about Elbert? What about Elisa? What kind of people are they, as a royal family, what do they not do, what are their shortcomings, and what contributions do they contribute to the country? ”
The Emperor's question puzzled Walter, and from the current point of view, the Emperor seemed to want to reproach her, although Elbert did not bring prosperity to the country, but he was by no means a pleasure-seeker, in addition to the cowardice and hypocrisy of the past, he was also diligent and did a lot of contributions to the empire.
And Alyssa, not to mention, as the key of God, not only accepts the love of all people, she is also a kind of symbol, must put an end to her superfluous behavior, at any time, on any occasion to maintain a holy and noble, selfless and noble appearance, this is not easy for a girl of that age, if the knightly training that Walter has received is physical torture, then Alyssa's image is a spiritual experience.
Thinking of this, although she realized that she would be reproached by Emperor Bagh later, she still said her true thoughts: "Your Majesty, Elbert and Alyssa are working very hard, they are not immersed in pleasure for the sake of this country, although they can't do it perfectly, they can be regarded as dutiful. ”
"Hahaha, huh?" Bagh let out a hearty laugh, turned around and patted his hand on Walter's head, then walked on his own.
That kind of action is not what an emperor would do to a traitor, when Bagh stretched out his hand, Walter thought that he would be beaten, but he didn't expect to be just patted on the head, just like an elder to a junior.
"Your Majesty! You...... Didn't you have something you wanted to say to me? Walter was shocked.
"Huh? No, it's you, hurry up and prepare, you need me to help you pull the banner of recovery, don't you? ”
directly said what Walter wanted to do, and before he could say it, this strange old man had already seen everything through.
"Your Majesty, how do you know?"
"Anyone with a little brain, can't they think of it? Walter, I'll help you, this time the empire is divided, it's not your fault. ”
"Nope! It's my fault! ”
"No, it's the mistake I made back then." Bag turned to face Walter, restrained his smile, and his expression became serious: "It was I who expelled you from the imperial capital back then, which is why I have created today's situation, if I had told the truth at the beginning, maybe the empire would be better than it is now, at least it would not have ended up in such a situation." ”
In an instant, Walter's pupils shrank suddenly!
"The truth of the day?" Walter looked up in astonishment, her eyebrows were only intertwined, her lips were trembling, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard, and finally she spoke: "Your Majesty...... Know it all? ”
