"It's snowing, it's snowing again, I didn't expect you to come back at this time. ”

Rusyara Palace, the old king's face is much younger than before, and he looks like he is middle-aged, and he can't see what he looked like before at all. There was a bottle beside him, which contained the scent of the forest.

With the use of the breath of the forest, the old king felt that his body was getting better day by day, and his complexion also changed color and spirit. Such a good thing naturally became the daily necessities of the old king, and no nobleman could snatch him.

At the same time, because of the advertisement of the old king, other nobles are more fond of the breath of the forest, and more and more elderly nobles are recovering and healthier, which also leads to the price of the drink of the smell of the forest on the black market is getting higher and higher, and even has reached the point that some ordinary small nobles can hardly bear it.

It's just that the old king, who has always been very happy, is not so happy today, as if with a little sorrow. The people in the palace bowed their heads and said nothing.

They all knew that whenever it snowed, the old king would be in a very bad mood.

"Your Majesty, this is today's recital. One of the guards lowered his head and handed over a large pile of papers.

The document shows developments throughout the country, various aspects of construction, as well as the constant victories of the front, the formation of new pea artillery units, and so on. The Royal Ballista has been successfully tested and has been mass-produced. Even yesterday, the royal family found the residence of a large flock of griffons, which the military is trying to capture and domesticate.

These news, if it were usual, the old king would certainly be very happy. But today is different, because of a secret letter in the old king's bosom. Even in the morning, the old king had little appetite.

"It's good, it's going well, let's keep going. It's already winter, and it's impossible for a big war to break out with the Karimsi Kingdom for the time being, let the people on the front line relax on their own, and the rest will be talked about next year. ”

There are also armies that are able to fight in heavy snowy weather, but this is obviously not something that they Rusyala can do. There are too few mages to help them with mystical powers, and it's impossible for an army to fight regardless of the weather.

Looking at the sky, the old king fell into memory. Before you know it, it's night.

The guards came to watch again and again, but finally they couldn't help it. I don't know how long it has been, but a gorgeously dressed woman with a noble temperament walked in. "Your Majesty, you should eat, otherwise it will not be good for your health. ”

The old king slowly came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "I know, bring the food over." ”

"Your Majesty, I'll dine with you. The woman sighed and said.

The old king waved his hand: "No, all the people should not appear around me today, the farther away the better, I want to be alone and quiet." Remember, don't leave anyone behind. ”

Following the old king's words, the guards who were hiding in the shadows also came out and drove all the people around them away. It was not strange to everyone, for the old king had done the same before.

It's just that in recent years, the old king has not done such a thing. I didn't expect to drive all the people away today. The guards continued to follow their previous actions, keeping a vacuum around them where no one was around.

The sky was slowly darkening, the candlelight was flickering, and the shadow of the old king swayed back and forth on the ground, and there was an air of loneliness and desolation. The old king didn't realize it, and slowly poured himself a glass of green liquid, which was the smell of the forest.

Then I ate slowly, and tasted slowly, very slowly. In the whole hall, there was only the sound of eating, and there was no other sound at all. And so it went on until midnight.

In the middle of the night, footsteps sounded. The old king paused with both hands, then resumed his previous movements and continued to taste his food slowly. After a while, a figure walked in and came to the old king. The man was tall, had a cold face, and was muscular. There was no way to hide the fierce aura on his body.

"Father, it's so gratifying to see you again. ”

That's right, the person who came was none other than the Great Prince Cadric, the only heir of the king who didn't often appear in the palace.

The old king finally stopped and slowly raised his head: "You are still the same as before, so energetic. What are you doing when you come back this time, if you figure it out, I'll be blind too. ”

"You're the same as before, not much has changed, just like when I left. That half-elf is really good. The eldest prince glanced at the breath of the forest, and he knew that the old king had been given this thing.

The old king was not angry at all: "Yes, if it weren't for this thing, maybe I wouldn't have been able to wait for you to come back, and I wouldn't have been able to wait for you to call me father again, your mother was ...... back then."

"Shut up, you're not in a position to mention her. If it weren't for your cowardice, how could my mother have died. Why didn't you go with you at that time, because you couldn't give up your throne, you couldn't give up your life. ”

The old king's eyes dimmed: "Yes, if it weren't for my cowardice, how could it have come to that point." I'm going to see her soon, and you are our only son, can't you forgive my father? "At this time, the old king still has a little bit of the majesty of a king, and he looks like an ordinary old man.

Cadrian smiled coldly, and his whisper grew louder and louder. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around, I'm afraid that such a voice would have attracted many guards a long time ago.

"Haha, hahahaha, you still want me to forgive. If you really want to see her, how can you hang yourself with such a thing. No, you won't see her at all. She will return to the arms of the gods, and you will only go to hell and go to hell to repent. Laughing and laughing, Cadric's tears burst into laughter, and the old king's face was full of indifference.

"I, I just want to apologize to her in person, even if I go to hell, I will find a way to see her again. The old king sighed and pushed aside the scent of the forest he had always loved.

The bottle fell to the ground, and splinters and water splashed out. Precious green drinks were spilled all over the floor, but none of the two people present cared. At this moment, this thing is no longer needed.

"You want to see her, what right do you have to say such things. I will never forgive you, and she will never forgive you. I have only come to see you today because I am ready for revenge. Watch from hell, and I will destroy your kingdom little by little, and I will wipe out everything you cherish.
