Chapter 11 Conversation
Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the garden of the annex, and then everyone heard a woman nervously shouting, "Oh, no, no."
Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw that Sophia was trotting all the way in a panic, and they didn't even notice that the wide white robe on her body was hooked off by a branch
Something happened, Sophia Cassius walked over and patted Sophia on the shoulder
Owen He ...... He's gone
Don't be in a hurry, talk slowly, Owen, how could he be gone
Yes...... Seeing my partner Sophia's mood settled down a little, Owen's heart stopped again last night, and I struggled to get it back to beating, but I felt very tired because of the overcasting, so I fell asleep on the table, but I didn't expect that when I woke up, Owen didn't know where to go, and I just turned over the whole garden and couldn't find it......
What Lei also feels strange, doesn't it mean that Brother Owen is very difficult to even get out of bed now, he can't leave by himself, brother, do you say that someone sneaked into the garden and kidnapped Brother Owen
Cassius thought for a moment: how could it be, such a thing happened right under our noses, let's go find out first
Come on, Sophia can't wait to say that Owen's life is more fragile than a strand of hair now, in case something happens...... We must find out where he is
Joyka, who was standing behind, raised her eyebrows slightly, at this time, his mood was a little lost, he returned to the annex for the first time after ten days of leaving, Sophia was not surprised by his sudden appearance, it can be seen that she did not take his departure to heart, but even this did not hinder Joyka's judgment at all, he was still the calmest among the people present, Joyka did not say a word, walked straight to the white robe that was hooked off by the branch, picked up the robe, and walked in front of Sophia: Don't worry, Sophia, Owen should be fine now
What the...... Sophia looked at Joyka suspiciously
You see, Joyka raised the robe in his hand, this is a men's robe, it is Owen's coat, he must have gotten up by himself, and when he saw you lying on the table and fell asleep, he put it on you, and then left without alarming you, since Owen can get out of bed and leave the annex by himself, it means that he has recovered a lot from his injuries, so we don't have to worry too much, but we should be happy for him
Joika's explanation made sense, Cassius and Ray both nodded in agreement, but Sophia was still very worried: But what do you think he can do, what if his heart goes wrong again in my absence
We should believe him, Joyka laughed and said that he might just have something to do, and he should be back when he is done
Can...... But...... Sophia still looked uneasy
Oatmeal fields on the northern outskirts of Hansha City
The horrific event that took place here a month ago is still shocking to this day, but the loss of the land on which they depend for their livelihood is the most terrible thing for the farmers who have worked here for generations, so that even though there is still an irreparable fear in their hearts, the farmers still return to their wheat fields, which have long been trampled beyond recognition, and look for any ears of wheat they can find in the wolf
It's late autumn and it's impossible to replant again, and this year the weather is good, and if that doesn't happen, it would have been a fairly rich year, but now......
Without saying a word, Owen listened to the king beside him what happened to the farmers
Only a wise ruler would have such insight into the Yiqiē under his rule...... Owen let out a long sigh
You have something to say, Durris read a different meaning from Owen's sigh
I have a truth that may not sound good
Let's talk about those flattering good words, I have heard too much and I am tired of hearing them, and in the end it is more difficult to hear the truth, Du Lisdao
With all due respect, you do have the talent of a king, but the way of a king is not for you, I believe that you may not have been happier than you used to be in the years of being a king, you want to make the country under your rule perfect, but there is no absolute perfection in the world, it is this unrealistic attachment that makes you inadvertently go further and further in the opposite direction of your ideals, even at the cost of challenging the most powerful force in the world of Olopa-- The path of the Central Church, but your personal strength is not enough to compete with the Central Church, then you can only tie the entire country and all your subjects to your chariot, but confronting the Central Church is an extremely risky gamble, once this gamble is lost, it will not only ruin your personal life and honor, but also bring hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Pole Kingdom into the abyss of ruining the Miè
Shut up, the captain of the guard, Sakoros, who stood beside Duris, angrily rebuked, "Do you think you are worthy of such an evaluation of our noble king, Your Majesty, believe it or not, and I will cut off your tongue now
As he spoke, Sakolos drew his sword, judging from his expression, this strong man would really cut out Owen's tongue, as the captain of the king's personal guard, he was not in Hansar City on the day of the accident a month ago, so that the king was going to personally risk his life and was injured because of it, which is the most humiliating thing as a captain of a guard, or even a knight, which filled his heart with a sense of guilt, so he was always trying his best to make up for what he thought was wrong, so he was also extremely sensitive to Owen's extremely disrespectful words just now
Angry at Sakoros, Owen was not more surprised, and calmly turned his gaze back to the ruined wheat fields of the farmers who were looking for ears of wheat in the ruins, knowing that Duris would put a stop to this loyal but reckless subordinate
Sure enough, Duris quickly struck out, pulled out most of Sakoros's saber, and pressed it back into its scabbard
Sakolos I have something to talk to the boy about, and you and Quinine are going to stay away from it
This...... The captain of the guard still wanted to fight, but he thought about it for a while, and finally carried out the order given by His Majesty the king himself, and retreated with his attendant Quinine to a hundred paces away from Duris and Owen, but still kept the king and the young man of unknown origin in his field of vision
After watching the two of them walk away, Du Liss took a deep breath: The boy has been able to see through the real thoughts in my heart and the things I have been worried about for so many years, and you are the only one Although we have not known each other for a long time, I have long regarded you as a confidant
That's because I'm a person who is bound to the wheel of fate, and in a sense, the two of us are very similar, so it's not surprising that I can guess what Majesty is thinking
Oh, what a sentence' The one who is bound to the wheel of fate' just to you, this conversation I have with you is very valuable, Duris smiled, that day, the Tower of the Seven Sins, which could bring disaster at any time, suddenly disappeared in a white light, I knew that Sophia and they had successfully prevented the divine punishment, but in the ruins after the disappearance of the Tower of Seven Sins, I found not only Sophia, the four of them, but also you, who had never met before, although several of you were in a state of serious injury and coma at the time, but on top of your unfamiliar face, I vaguely felt a special feeling, you are different from others, since then I want to find a time to talk to you properly, but your injuryBut the situation never got better, so I didn't have a chance until this morning, when you suddenly came to me and asked to talk to me in this place, I was really surprised
I said earlier that some of the things in us are very similar, and when you want to talk to me, how can I not be the same...... Owen smiled too, but I walked out like this, and Sophia was probably going to be in a hurry
But now you're not just worried about Princess Sophia
oh
The king didn't answer directly, he looked up, his face was covered with the vicissitudes of time, but it was difficult to hide the heroic spirit of the past, but between his eyebrows, Owen saw a faint sadness
I also know that confronting the Central Curia is a road full of thorns, although along the way, I have always won victories, but there are no invincible generals on the battlefield, with the huge strength of the Holy See, they can withstand countless defeats, but for me and this country, even a small defeat may invite a terrible fate, and this feeling of walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff with hundreds of thousands of people is extremely uncomfortable...... Duris suddenly sank his face, so the boy I have a request here, I hope you can grant it.
