I walked into this somewhat dimly lit room, all the windows were curtained, and there were a few flickering torches in the room, and there was a little light, shining on the delicate copper stove that emitted a faint incense, reflecting a strange light, and the shaking torches and the reflected light made the whole room look very strange, as if in an illusory world.

My heart is still a little nervous, after all, the royal city, that is, the main city, is not open, but I have met the ruler of a country here.

Originally, the middle-aged king I imagined to be in the prime of life and ambitious and loud-voiced did not appear, but instead a slightly hoarse and tired voice came from this strange light: "Please take a seat, my earl!" ”

I walked a few steps in the direction from which the sound came from, and I saw a man with a crown and a dark moire brocade robe sitting behind a large solid wood desk.

To be exact, all I saw was a face with a metal mask.

He's the king?

I couldn't be more surprised!

Behind the man in the metal mask stood two people, one dressed in the appearance of a cloth clerk, and the other in gold armor, not moving at all, if he hadn't shouted: "Don't you salute when you see His Majesty the King?" "I thought he was just a decorative knight's armor.

I panicked slightly, still unacceptable: this man is the king?

This is too far from what I imagined a king to look like. In my imagination, the king was either a bearded and old man, or a strong and ambitious man who was ready to show his ambitions, but the ...... in front of me

Our King, as if he was a seriously ill man, coughed slightly, raised his hand to stop the golden knight's further questioning, and said as if with relief: "Count of Thunder Carmen 03! ”

I hesitated slightly, I don't know what I should do at this time, although I have a knighthood, but I have been deprived by the city lord fat man before this, and I am still wanted, and isn't this the biggest boss in front of me the pursuing party?

In what way should I meet him?

At that moment, I was a little struggling.

"I'm sorry, I'm no longer the Count of Thunder!" I struggled for a moment and said, "I'm just a wanted man now!" "This identity makes me quite embarrassed.

His Majesty the King said with a soft "oh", "Really? I haven't received a letter of deposition from Prince Morey, and I'm probably still on my way! You, come here! ”

I then took two steps forward and walked to the front of my desk.

"Sue me, are you willing to continue to work for me?" The king asked calmly, and I could feel the weakness in his breath. "It's okay! Even if you say you don't want to, I won't embarrass you! ”

I secretly shouted in my heart: I rub, even if I am tired of life, I can't say that I don't want to!

However, I also don't want to go against my conscience and say something insincere.

So I said very entangledly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I want to understand what is the purpose of His Majesty?" Isn't it worth fighting for! ”

I dare to say that if this was in ancient times or if I met a feudal monarch with a strict ideology, I would have died a miserable death.

So when I say this, I have already prepared my mind for the next wave of anger or consequences.

It makes me feel like I'm actually very similar to Joe Maniac in some ways, like the way he does it now: he's wanted anyway, and it's not bad for this last one.

The golden knight behind the king frowned slightly, and his hand rested on the hilt of his sword, which presumably sounded unbelievably bold to him.

But the king stood up very calmly, and I saw that he was not only wearing a mask, but also wearing gloves on his hands, as if he wanted to wrap himself tightly, without any penetration.

As he propped his hand on the table, the knight behind him immediately stepped forward to help him, and His Majesty the King raised his hand.

The Golden Knight stopped.

His Majesty the King stood up slightly panting, and stood behind the table with his hands propped up, his face facing me with an expressionless mask, and from the depths of the hollows in the two eyes of the mask, I seemed to see a very determined gaze in his eyes.

“…… When I was sixteen years old, I won a battle, and I thought I would live a long life! But now, I know I won't live to be thirty. No one can decide their own life or death! royal decrees, or inviolable; Father's decree, or irreversible! However, under the royal power, before the hegemon, people must not ask their own conscience! When faced with the judgment of conscience, it cannot be said that it was forced to do so, or that it was expedient......"

As he spoke, he looked at me steadily.

Then he smiled indifferently and asked, "Have you ever regretted your current situation?" ”

Well, as much as I would complain about this kind of thing in my heart, I really never thought about what would happen if I had made another choice.

Perhaps, even if I had turned back the clock and had had had the opportunity to choose again, I might have done it.

Because it's a choice to obey my heart!

Although the road was very difficult and full of thorns, it was the choice of my heart.

I shook my head lightly and replied firmly, "No!" ”

His Majesty came up to me with his hand on the table, and I could see that though he said that he was not more than forty-five years old, he was rather thin and weak, and that he must have been the result of a serious illness.

"Some people say that my kingdom is too arrogant, and this is God's punishment for me. But you Qin people said, this is not enough, if I go to hell, I will be punished even more painfully. If it were, I would think it's unfair! His Majesty said very weakly.

I couldn't do anything for a moment to respond to this frail looking king.

He pointed to a small table in front of his desk, on which was a chessboard, Go.

"Sit!"

After sitting down, he moved his body to find a more comfortable position, sat down, and continued: "I have always tried to ease the conflict between the two races! We live on the same land...... I asked myself, I've done enough! However, there will always be something that doesn't go as planned! For example, this game of chess......"

I looked at the chess game and shuddered: I looked like I had seen it somewhere!
