636 The End X of the Fountain
"Uh... Sister Li, I didn't mean that. Karl hurriedly scratched his head.
"What do you mean, Admiral? People just want the Admiral to help General Joseph out of good intentions, why can't you~~~! Richelieu said with a look of grievance.
Carl saw the expression on Richelieu's face, and then heard her coquettish for no reason, and suddenly his whole body was crisp. But he quickly bit the tip of his tongue, allowing himself to refuse Richelieu's pitiful temptation.
"I said, Sister Li, when did you learn this from Missouri? Her shameless way of being cute isn't with you! Carl looked at Richelieu with a pained look on his face.
"Huh? Doesn't that work? Obviously Missouri, she said that as long as she made a mistake and sold cuteness to the Admiral like this, the Admiral would forgive us? Richelieu said with a confused look on his face.
"Don't learn from her! Didn't you see that she took you all to ruin one by one?! Karl said to her with a black line on his face.
"Huh? Oh yes, Admiral. Richelieu was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Don't interrupt! Seeing that Richelieu wanted to change the subject again, Karl hurriedly called out to her.
"Huh~~~! Was it discovered by the Admiral? Richelieu snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Richelieu, it's time to put away your compassion. Your kindness to Joseph and them is to all the civilians who died in the Fountain and all the officers and men who died in the Fountain fleet! You know, it was Joseph's inaction that led to the erosion of the situation at the source to this day. The good people in your eyes have killed a large number of Imperial citizens in the concentration camps of the Mimatar people, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Source Fleet have died on the battlefield. So Richelieu, let me ask you, do you think he's a good guy after hearing this? Carl asked mercilessly.
"I... I do not know... Richelieu said with his fingers curling the corners of his clothes and feeling uneasy.
Suddenly I heard that the good guy in my impression was actually an accomplice to the killing of so many people, and no one knew what his mood was.
"So, you know what? Richelieu. It's not that your kindness is useless in the Empire, but here is Emma. It's a country of feudal monarchy and slavery, not your country in the ship world. So a lot of the freedom, equality, cooking and so on that you preach don't apply to the Empire. You can be merciful to the lower classes, but you must not get them accustomed to your kindness. Otherwise, they'll tear you apart like jackals. Karl admonished Richelieu.
"But isn't that contradictory to what you said, Admiral? If you know that if you are kind to them, you will be bitten back, so why should you be kind? Richelieu asked, puzzled.
"On this point, I can answer you, Mademoiselle Richelieu. I don't know if you noticed what the young master said? You can show your kindness to the lower classes, or show kindness. But you must not let the people of the lower classes get used to your kindness, otherwise their ** will be endless. There is an old saying in the Empire: Ascend to Mien, fight Mi Hatred. This means that when people get used to your charity, they will demand more and more from you. Dinigfeld took over from the bed.
"Huh? But they don't ask too much, do they? Richelieu asked, still puzzled.
"Okay, Sister Li, how about we do a test?" Carl asked.
"What test?" Richelieu asked.
"Sister Li, if you see a beggar on the road, he is about to starve to death. Then the beggar tells you that as long as you give him a meal, he will work for you and be loyal to you. What do you do? Karl asked.
"Give him a meal, of course! What is there to think about here. Richelieu said without thinking.
"Very well, the beggar got this meal of yours and he survived. Then he offers loyalty to you and wants to find an easy job in your factory. So did you promise him? Carl then asked.
"This... Promise him, didn't you say to help others to the end? Richelieu said after a moment's hesitation.
"Very well, the beggar, after working in the factory for a while, feels that his life is too boring, and wants you to marry a beautiful girl. So did you promise him? Carl continued.
"What's so hard about that? Naturally, I promised him. Richelieu said without even thinking about it.
"Oh? Are you sure? Karl asked, looking at Richelieu with a strange smile on his face.
When Karl asked him this, Richelieu suddenly turned his brain and filtered his previous words.
'Nothing?' But why did the Admiral look at me with that hair-making smile? Could it be that there was something wrong with my answer? After thinking about it for a while, she nodded hesitantly and said, "I'm sure." ”
"Very good, then Sister Li, you are no longer my ship's wife, you have become the wife of that beggar gentleman. Hehehe... Karl said with a strange smile.
Richelieu was dumbfounded, and she hurriedly asked, "Huh?!" That's not right! Admiral, why is this happening?! ”
"Don't ask me, I'm not your admiral anymore. Didn't you choose to be the beggar's wife? Karl asked.
His words immediately frightened Richelieu, and she hurriedly checked her contract with Carl, and then said with tears on her face: "No... That's not the case! I'm obviously still the commander of your ship! How could it not be? Admiral, tell me, did I do something wrong and you want to drive me away? Please, don't drive me away, okay? I don't talk nonsense anymore, okay? ”
Richelieu looked at Carl with tears in his eyes, afraid that he would break his contract and kick himself out if he didn't agree with him.
Looking at Richeliucal, whose face was stained with tears, he knew that the heat was almost over, otherwise it would be self-defeating to continue like this. He said to Richelieu: "Okay, okay, it's not true. Why are you so excited? Come on, come on, don't cry, don't cry, the makeup on your face is crying. ”
He got up and hugged Richelieu and said to her, "That's why I don't let you show your goodness at will, I don't deny that there are good people and saints in this world, but more of those who are egoists. Everyone has greed, and the difference is only whether they can restrain their greed. Let's take me as an analogy! How do you feel about the appeal of the Imperial Throne to me? Don't I want to sit on it? But after I sat up, I had to review the mountain of reports every day, and I had to fight with the nobles who had a small meeting every three days and a meeting every five days. So why should I fight for that position? How nice is it like this? It's okay to flirt with you guys and scold you. Isn't it good?。。。。。。 ”
