Alphaed walked quickly in the royal palace of the imperial capital of Tobiro, his face solemn and hurried, and he did not even bother to salute the people around him, who often had just bowed to his knees, and before he could say a word of greeting, he had already blown like a whirlwind. [No pop-ups]

The people in the palace looked at each other, and no one shouted, so they had to touch their noses and stand up straight, and resumed their work in a low voice while exchanging information.

"Your Majesty's body has repeated again?!"

"Probably, look at that face...... His Royal Highness has been stranded in the imperial capital for almost three months and has not returned to the territory, and if His Majesty's health continues like this, maybe we will have to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the new king before the year......"

"Shh......h Low-key, His Royal Highness Tang Wen and the two ladies are also in the imperial capital, this kind of thing is not accurate. ”

"Won't the queen make them make trouble?!"

"Uh...... That's why it's impossible to say this kind of thing! ”

"What should I do, if there is really a seizure of the prince, the palace will definitely not be peaceful!"

"Well, I remember that the civil strife in the XX country the year before last was that more than forty nobles in the imperial capital were executed, and nineteen people were sanctioned by the royal family, including the queen at that time, ......"

"Wow, that's scary! But the year before the YY country was also very powerful, at that time the royal men of that country were dead, and later I heard that it was the female successor of the side branch, but unfortunately just a year after the aristocratic man deceived the feelings, stole the country, murdered, and finally the country was deserted, so until now the territory of the YY country is still in the civil war. ”

"That's nothing, to say that my country is murderous......"

The palace maid looked at his group of excited and broken mouths: "...... Feed! Don't you all want this month's paycheck?! ”

The group of maids discussed for a while, and then after a short stalemate, they swarmed around: "My lord, aren't you nervous?!" The ascension of all new kings to the throne in history has been accompanied by war and blood and ......"

"What's there to be nervous about!" It's not so much that the group is nervous. The chief maid felt that this was actually more like a group of fantasy-loving Sanba gossiping, and glanced at it lightly: "You have forgotten that there is still an elf queen in our country?!" ”

"Uh......"

The audience was killed in seconds, and there was silence.

The waitresses looked at each other...... Indeed, there is that kind of high-level boss who is still alive and violent, and the careerists in this palace really can't make trouble if they want to.

It's really a world without dreams......

Inside the King's Bedchamber. Vincer, the current King of Tobiro, was lying on a chaise longue near the terrace, his eyes wide open in the sunlight as he stared at the dome of the palace. Some of them don't know what they're thinking.

The sound of the door being pushed was heard, followed by hurried footsteps, and the old king of Tobiro slowly turned his neck in the direction of the temple door. Trying to squint his eyes to focus on the blurred vision: "Alfyd?!" ”

"It's me." Alfyd strode in. casually untied the cloak on his body and handed it to the maid on the side, waved his hand to let the others stand back, sat down on the chair next to the old King Tobiro, leaned over to look at his father's situation, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the other party's face clearly: "It looks like you are in good shape today?!" ”

Old King Tobiro smiled: "Actually, it's not good, my eyes are a lot blurter than before, and the feeling of my hands and feet is also very sluggish, like a thick layer of woolen socks and gloves...... Well. I'm sorry I can't see your face right now, are you sad kid?! ”

“…… Not. Alphad hung his head, reached out and took his father's hand and squeezed it vigorously. Then he raised his eyebrows proudly, and said in a cheerful tone as much as possible: "I am the prince of the Tobiro Empire. A Claumore Prince would not have that kind of weakness. ”

"Ah, ClauPrince......" the old King Tobiro muttered indistinctly, and raised his eyebrows, "what a terrible, I think your arrogance is more and more like that of my youth." After a pause, he couldn't help but tease again: "But I was not as useless as you when I was young, your mother, and Lily and Wenby, they were all crazy about me at that time, and you were just the opposite...... Seriously, kid, I don't think the Elf Queen is a good candidate for Queen Tobiro, so let's change someone, even if you're married to the number one next to her. ”

Alfeld endured and endured, but finally he couldn't hold back: "...... Number One is male, father, and I don't think I or he is a good fit. ”

"It's a shame." Old King Tobiro sighed regretfully: "Except for gender, I think No. 1 is beautiful in every aspect, beautiful, powerful, virtuous and virtuous, and honorable...... "can be called the mother of the nation...... Old King Tobiro tried very hard to swallow the last word, and then the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and finally he couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Why is he a man?!" ”

"......" the black line of Alfyd, he felt that this question was really difficult for him.

Why men?! That's a good question! This depends on the combination of x and o, and may also depend on the mood of the giant tree of life...... In short, it is impossible for him to control the decision anyway.

Old Tobiro's blurred eyes revealed a sincere gaze trying to focus on his son's image: "Alfeld, I know that you have grown up, and many things may be something you can try to experience by yourself, instead of using my experience to bind your life, but...... If you do decide that you have to marry the Elven Queen, I hope you can at least make sure that you are careful about the face of the Tobiro Empire in your diplomacy. ”

“……”

"Or marry two more princesses, at least don't let her son become the next king of Tobiro?!"

“……”

"No, no, I think it's better not to let her interfere in the education of future generations, divide the territory and let her take the elves to play casually, and you must isolate the child from this terrible mother."

“…… I think you're thinking too much, father. Alfeld tried not to make his voice look like he gritted his teeth, and gently pulled the blanket covering the old King Tobiro: "There is still a long time, and you can still be a king for a few years." ”

"No, not for long." Old King Tobiro seemed to be a little tired, muttered vaguely, his eyes gradually closed, and his voice weakened: "These questions must always be considered, you will be my heir, Arphaed." ”

The afternoon sun warmly poured into the dormitory, and Alfeld sat quietly in a golden glow, until he could no longer hear his father's voice for a long time, and was sure that the other party must have fallen asleep, then he stood up and walked lightly towards the door.

As soon as his hand was placed on the knocker, the voice of the old King Tobiro suddenly sounded again: "Alfeld? Vincerle? Crow Prince...... Of the three princes, you are the only one who has inherited my name, so you must also inherit my will. Let's have a succession festival in a month's time. ”

The hand holding the knocker tightened, and after a long time, Alfeld nodded sullenly: "Yes father, I will be a qualified Crouch Prince." ”

There was no response behind him.

Out of the dormitory, there was his mother waiting outside the door, and the queen stood in the big corridor and looked up at the portrait hanging on the wall, and when she heard the sound of the door being opened, she didn't reply: "Alphaed, come and see this portrait, does it look like it?!" ”

“…… It's a lot like. "It's! Magical portraits are all directly rubbing, real people reproduce, only contrast problems, there is no possibility of distortion at all...... Alfeld is no longer able to complain, for the occasional sentimental sadness of a woman who is his mother, what can he do as a son except for silent cooperation?!

The queen obviously didn't hear her son's heart, and smiled slightly moist at the corner of her eyes: "Seriously, from the moment you were born, I have been looking forward to you becoming the next King of Tobiro. I've overlooked a lot for this, I'll admit it...... But I never thought I'd be so sad when Vincerel's portrait was actually hung on this wall. ”

The ascension of the new king will inevitably mean the abdication of the old king, and the wizarding world has never said that the emperor is too great, and the king will only abdicate because of the fall, loss of way, or there is such a situation where the old king is not in good health.

When each of Tobiro's kings abdicated, a portrait hung on the wall of the nave, and the rows of portraits were history, and the queen was looking at the new self-portrait that her husband had ordered to be hung...... When she noticed it, she knew that it was all over, that her nearly twenty years of longing and dreams were about to come true, that the son born to the two unfortunate children of Winby and Lily would no longer pose any threat to her own children, and that her position as the most honorable woman in the whole empire was unassailable, and ......

Her husband will also be called by the Lord God in the near future.

Limna was suddenly a little sad, and she almost didn't know what else she could do next. Because she had to plan for her son, she couldn't even be completely honest with her husband for nearly twenty years, and she returned to calm coldly, which made Her Royal Highness very helpless.

Alfeld watched for a long time, and then tentatively spoke: "Maybe you want to accompany your father?!" ”

"Huh?! Oh, yes! The queen suddenly came back to her senses: "It's time for me to accompany him, he ......"

"He's asleep." Yafeld nodded, not minding his mother's short-term gaffe and helplessness, and slightly bowed and stood up straight: "I should also leave, the teleportation array to the Holy Land Mountain has been opened." ”

"Oh, good...... Uh, stop! The queen nodded hastily and was about to turn around, when she suddenly came back to her senses and stopped her son, with cold eyebrows: "What are you going to do?!" ”

“…… To pick up the Elven Queen, she needs to be present at the festival of the new king, isn't it? "Yafeld was helpless.

"Huh?!" The queen's eyes lit up, and she suddenly discovered a new meaning in her life...... No, no, she hasn't even reached retirement yet, and her own war is still going on...... (To be continued)
