Chapter 80: Refusal
"Even though you try to hide your purpose, I can see it. Just like I said, we are fellow travelers. ”
Wayne felt like he had returned to the night of Heran, the night he met Medina.
An aristocrat who does not like nobility.
It's not that Wayne hides it badly, but there is always a wonderful principle in the world. Some people just come together by nature because they share the same ideals and are better able to understand each other's ideas.
Wayne is the same as Sieg when it comes to dealing with nobles.
But he still has a question.
"Who is your leader?"
Sieg calmed down and hesitated, after all, Wayne hadn't promised to join himself. I can't tell him the core secret.
"Are we fellow travelers?"
Sieg asked coldly.
The last rays of sunlight poured in during the day, and dust flew in the blood-red remnant sun. The residual heat in the house has not yet been dissipated, and the cold of the night has not invaded.
But the dialogue between the two sides made the atmosphere extremely cold.
The two pairs of eyes confronted, as if they wanted to see the truest thoughts through each other's dark eyes.
Wayne asked again.
"Who is your leader?"
"Are we fellow travelers?"
There is no scheme, only naked tit-for-tat.
The questions are the biggest secrets that the other party hides in the bottom of their hearts.
The air seemed to freeze, and the two of them couldn't see any breathing, as if they were stone statues facing each other for thousands of years.
But that doesn't mean time doesn't pass.
Suddenly, both of them spoke at the same time.
"Yes!" "Nils Aaron"
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
"Why?"
The Wayne slave calmed himself down, after all, the news was shocking.
His second brother turned out to be a usurper for power, and in his impression, he was just a person who would not choose his hand for the title. And he himself was driven out.
"What why. ”
Sieg identified an important message, an incomparably important message. In order to determine the falsification of this news, he tested his own sister, walked through Nolan's large and small places, and read a lot of information about Wayne. But the certainty is still not great. Unless Wayne says it himself, he and Aaron will never be sure.
Wayne casually wiped the cold on his forehead with his cuffs.
"Let's start with why you're helping him?"
Sieg twisted his upper body as well, and the sweat on his back made him uncomfortable.
But this question is easy to answer.
"You know how I was sent to Stuart as a proton at the age of eight. At that time, almost everyone accompanied me, but your brother Aaron offered to accompany me. He was two years younger than I was, and no one else knew about it but your father and my father. ”
A flood of information came in an instant.
Sieg went to Stuyard at the age of eight, which is also in the memory. It is said that he knelt in front of the house of Stuyard's coach at the time, Kashoman, for three days and three nights, and because he did not ease Stuyard's offensive, he also stopped.
Sieg fell into memory.
"I was scared, really scared. When you see people around you who have long ears and are full of malice towards you, you will deeply understand what malice is. At just eight years old, I wanted to be abandoned in a forest full of wild beasts. But your brother is amazing and can't believe he's only six years old. At that time, he comforted me vigorously and told me not to be afraid. Every time the elf serves the food, he tastes it first, and I eat it if it is not poisonous. It was also his idea for me to kneel in front of Kashuman's door. ”
"But that doesn't mean you can betray the royal family and be loyal to him. ”
Sieg took off his coat and felt the chill before the night came. Said calmly, just like saying homely.
"Why not, my father left his own son behind in order to survive. And Aaron tried his best for an unknown acquaintance. ”
"Did you think that he was using you? ”
"I do. ”
Wayne looked at Sieg's calm face with complicated eyes, hoping to see a hint of falsehood. But reason told him that what Sieg said was true.
"How many of you are there?"
"I can't say that, but I can tell you that the power is beyond imagination. If I wish, I will return to the imperial capital and be the next Emperor of Rune. ”
There was both surprise and anticipation. After all, I told Audrey at the beginning. Many of the next generation of aristocrats will not approve of Olmedo's rule. To Wayne's surprise, they were effectively organized!
"Why do you approve of my second brother Aaron? ”
"Don't think Aaron is just a fool who only cares about the countdom. He didn't know when he began to see that nobles were Rune's cancer, probably the first time he had read "The History of Rune's Empire". He didn't say it, and we don't know. However, it is certain that to fundamentally overthrow the aristocracy, people like him are needed. We recognize him for different reasons. Some are because of your brother's ability, courage, and ideals. But there is no doubt that we have a common ideal, to overthrow the aristocracy. As long as you have a brain and an ideal, you will choose this. ”
Wayne instantly figured out this secret overthrowing organization.
Asked sharply.
"You're all young people. ”
"It's true that the vast majority are young people. ”
He didn't know what Wayne meant by asking, but Wayne knew that he had more than hundreds of years of insight and thinking. Many revolutions in previous lives were driven by a group of idealistic and talented young people.
Young people are the most rebellious and the most disobedient to the old rules and ideas. They are eager to break free from the prison imposed by their elders and to be more receptive to new ideas. They also have unlimited energy and enthusiasm to accomplish some things. And it would be unthinkable if it were a group of talented and capable young people.
But Wayne doesn't just see the positives. Young people are impulsive, and their youthful energy makes them desperate for a place to release, which determines that they cannot stay in the dark for a long time. And unlike middle-aged and elderly people, they have been taught many times and are more susceptible to demagoguery.
History is full of examples of the victories of the young revolution, but there are also countless examples of defeats.
Wayne admires such a group of people who dare to break out of the cage and embrace the unknown future. But that doesn't mean you'll join them.
Rather than them, Wayne prefers to believe that his steady play has the potential to change the world to the greatest extent. I can say that I already have a perfect reform plan, so why risk joining them. But you can't say it yourself, after all, you say that your plan is better, and others don't believe it. And it's also my biggest secret.
"Go back and tell Aaron that your business has nothing to do with me. ”
Sieg was a little disappointed, but Aaron had told him to be prepared for defeat.
"Aaron said, as long as you don't stop us. He was so happy, and my trip was not in vain. ”
