What happened after that night does not need to be told by Rudolph, Roland has already experienced it himself.

The experience of that night became a knot in Rudolph's heart, and in the days when Roland had just borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, he was very conflicted every time he saw the newborn Roland. Emotionally, he hated this visitor from another world who took away his son's soul, but reason forced him to pretend to be a loving father, and the pain and pressure in his heart can be imagined. Later, after getting along for a long time, Rudolph gradually transferred his feelings for his son to this young man from another world who borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul, and the other party's performance did not disappoint him.

As the goddess of fate had assured him at the beginning, the soul of this young man from another world was far more intelligent and far-sighted than the real Roland, and he was especially adept at dealing with complex and sensitive political, diplomatic, and economic issues that the original Roland would never have possessed, and even Rudolph himself lamented that he was inferior.

With the help of the Otherworldly Spirit, Rudolph's career grew rapidly, and in less than three years he realized his dream of an independent state in the Far East.

On October 1, 1620, Rudolph was crowned at the Cathedral of the Capital, and the man who presented him with the crown was the young man sitting opposite him.

At that moment, Rudolph thought that his career had reached its peak, but he didn't know that it was just getting started. In the years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the newly-born Kolas government withstood the impact of countless internal and external troubles, from victory to victory, and in just four years, it initially achieved magic industrialization, greatly improved the national living standards, and the scale of the economy grew by leaps and bounds, basically realized compulsory primary education, established the first comprehensive university in the Far East, established the world's first comprehensive magic network in Vares, and established a strong national defense force to resist the military threat from the Yashan Empire...... There are many, many more such achievements, and I can't say enough for three days and three nights.

The reason why the government of the Far East has been able to achieve such brilliant achievements in just four years is not their Majesty the King, but their young crown prince.

After so many years of getting along day and night, witnessing the miracles created by Roland, and seeing the Far East rapidly become prosperous and powerful under his planning and promotion, as the monarch of this country, what else could Rudolph not be satisfied with?

What is he not satisfied with this heir who is far more perfect than he expected, and this otherworldly soul who replaced the real Roland as his son?

Today, almost even Rudolph himself has forgotten the tragedy of that night seven years ago, and treats Roland almost completely as his own son. However, there will always be a moment in life, and he can't help but imagine what would happen if he had made another choice that night in the face of the two choices given by the goddess of fate?

In the past, in the face of inner torture, reason will always have an overwhelming upper hand, warning him not to have illusions, he has made the best choice. If he had chosen a different path, I am afraid that he is still struggling for independence and nation-building, and his son, who has become an idiot, will not only not be able to share the pressure for himself, but will also increase the burden on his shoulders.

However, even a hard-hearted person cannot completely eliminate the throbbing of emotions, no matter how prosperous his career is, how prosperous and powerful the country he has created with his own hands, there is always a trace of regret in Rudolph's heart that cannot be repaired. Until this moment, after learning that Evgenia was pregnant with her own flesh and blood, a little life that was closely connected to him from ** to soul, the great joy made Rudolph lose his mind for the first time in his life, and after getting drunk, he confided in the truth, and finally revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

……

The atmosphere in the small banquet hall of the "Friendship Palace" was not friendly, and the father and son, as they called "father and son", sat across a table full of empty wine bottles. Rudolph held his head in his hands and stared blankly, and those unbearable memories of the past, like a pair of invisible claws, tightly grabbed his throat, making him powerless to get rid of.

Roland, who was sitting opposite Rudolph, also fell silent with his head in his hands, and his heart was turned upside down, as if thousands of troops were trampling on his heart, bringing him wordless pain, and anxiety that was more difficult than this pain.

"So that's what happened, my crossing was not accidental...... Rudolph didn't know anything about my seizure of his son, he just pretended not to know, but he knew better than anyone else. ”

The mysteries of the past were solved, and countless thoughts flashed through Roland's mind like lightning.

Thinking back to the days of fatherly kindness and filial piety in the past, imagine that every time Rudolph saw him, he couldn't help but think of his poor son, and think of the young soul who was sacrificed alive because he was too simple and kind, what kind of feelings he would have for the visitor from another world who occupied his son's body?

Is it disgust, remorse, or heartache?

No matter what kind of emotions he had, Rudolph did not show the slightest difference over the years, until this moment, he became famous, wore the crown, realized his dream, and once again had a biological flesh and blood, he couldn't help but show his true feelings, shed tears for the eldest son who was sacrificed with his own blood, and made a father's ...... Late confession.

Roland didn't know what to say about Rudolph as a person.

After tonight, Rudolph's image changed in at least part of his mind, and he could no longer be as careless as he had been with Rudolph as father and son as before.

Roland was full of thoughts and his heart was in turmoil.

"Why didn't Rudolph reveal the truth until today?" Roland had to face up to the problem.

Drinking and spitting the truth is only a result, and Evgenia's pregnancy is an obvious trigger.

Roland couldn't tell if he was Rudolph's own son. I'm afraid that even Rudolph himself can't tell, for many years to save the knot in his heart, the imminent birth of flesh and blood makes up for the shortcomings in his heart, and when he opens the knot, he can't help but confide in the truth.

Could the name "Vasilissa", which means "heiress", the result of Rudolph's deliberations, be a reflection of Rudolph's subconscious political prophecy?

If you speculate from the most malicious point of view, after Vasilisa was born, will Rudolph start to think of another crown prince?

Roland subconsciously denied this absurd idea, but if he thinks about it carefully, is there really no possibility of even one in ten thousand?

He didn't dare to think about it any further, so he could only pretend that it was business as usual, that the conversation between himself and Rudolph had never happened tonight. Just like Rudolph in the past few years, he will have to live in a mask, silently keeping this secret, and bearing the torment of his heart alone.
