After being silent for a long time, the Emperor suddenly burst out laughing, "You, you, the wounds have collapsed." He ordered the medical officer in the room to help Long Tide to the bed, reapply the medicine, and bandage the wound.

"I just said that you can take the treasures in the palace, but I didn't expect you to hit Sophia with your idea, he is the pearl of my palm. Even if there are all the treasures in this palace, in my heart, they can't compare to a hair of Sophia. The emperor said in a solemn voice with a calm face.

Long Tide lowered his head, letting the medical officer bandage his wounds like a puppet doll that had suddenly lost its life.

"But you're a good boy, and Sophia is old enough to get married, and I'm sure she'll be happy if she marries you. As if teasing Long Tide, the Emperor said slowly in a long voice.

Long Tide looked up sharply and looked at the Emperor in surprise and delight, he could hardly believe his ears. "You mean, you promised?", he asked in a trembling voice.

The Emperor smiled and nodded, but he immediately straightened his face, "If you dare to disappoint Sophia and make her cry sadly, then the king will definitely crush you to pieces!" he said in a heavy voice.

"I will treat Sophia well, I swear by the Falcon family!", Long Tide said in a loud voice, but then his voice fell again, "But, I heard that you promised Princess Sophia that she would marry freely and choose her own husband?"

"I'm not commanding, I'm persuading. Sophia is a good and filial child, I have a good talk with her, and she will agree. The Emperor waved his hand and said confidently.

"Long Tide, talk to me about the scenery of the north again, I haven't been there for more than ten years, and I really miss the rolling mountains. The Emperor said kindly to Long Taide.

"From now on, you will be half my son. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Wrong name, silly boy. ”

"Oh, yes, Father. ”

In the room, the king and the earl conversed intimately, and it was a touching scene of amiability, kindness and filial piety of father and son. It's just that both Weng and his son-in-law seem to have forgotten at the same time that in that assassination, there was another person who also made a great contribution and fought off the assassin with great fate.

This conversation not only concerns the fate of Dragon Ted Reinhardt and Sophia Grievous, but also deeply affects the future of the kingdom, and the royal family and the northern Falcon family have formed an in-law, representing the Falcon family and the royal family to form an extremely strong alliance. In addition, the royal family had already occupied the southern border before, the four realms had already gained two of them, and the eastern realm was leaderless, and the power of the giant whale family was fragmented, and only the Iron Thorn family in the western realm was struggling to support it. The fragile balance between royalty and those who rebel against it has been completely disrupted.

It seems that it is not far from the goal of the unification of the violet royal family.

......

As it was getting dark, Princess Sophia, led by her maid, entered the study of Grievous the Great, who had not been seen in the palace for a long time since she had moved out of the palace.

"Sophia, you're here. The Emperor put down the book in his hand and beckoned to Sophia, "Has the tired bird finally returned to the forest? Or have you finally found out in your conscience that you still have a lonely, old and sick father?"

"What are you talking about, didn't Moses and Loris come to see you?" Princess Sophia said softly, as she walked up to the Emperor. She is not as coquettish as ordinary women, but she is so gentle and heroic, and she has a different style that ordinary women do not have.

"They. The emperor shook his head, "Moses is now in the palace with high friends, he is too late to entertain, how can he want to get my old father." As for Lloris, now the palace is no longer here, and the government affairs are not handled, and there is no one to see all day long, and I don't know what he is busy with. ”

Sophia smiled and listened to the emperor like an ordinary old man, babbling about the shortcomings of the family. It's just that in her heart, she will never trust her father, and this king will know nothing about the movements of the two princes.

After talking for a while, Grievous the Great sighed and said, "Okay, Sophia, I know that you are angry in your heart now, so don't pretend to be smiling and talk to the old man anymore." ”

He smiled bitterly, "You, now you are like a little wild cat that has been snatched from dried fish, and your eyes are full of wildness that wants to tickle people. ”

Sophia straightened up and looked at the Emperor, "You still know me, Father." I just want to ask, did you still make the agreement you made with me?"

"Or am I just a bargaining chip for political exchange, a commodity of interest in exchange?" the princess, who had not faded her smile, regained her former sharpness, and her bold and sharp words were like the spikes on a rose, neither tactful nor merciful.

The Emperor laughed directly, "Say you're a little wild cat, Sophia, you really stretched out your little paws." He looked at his only daughter lovingly, "Long Taide is a very good guy, I have met a few times, whether it is cultivation or martial arts, he is one in a thousand young talents, a little guy like this, the entire Shenghui City is rare." ”

"But that's not the most important reason, Sophia. The emperor looked at the princess who lowered her head and did not speak, and explained gently: "The key is that he loves you, my old eyes are not confused, and I can still see clearly, when that young man talks about you, his eyes are full of admiration and love, which can never be faked." ”

"If I hand you over to him, I will be relieved. Sophia, I want you to be happy, my child. ”

Seeing that Princess Sophia still did not speak, the Emperor continued, "I know you don't like Long Tide, Sophia. But as an old man, I will persuade you: instead of finding someone you love, it is better to find a man who loves you. ”

"I hope you'll never get hurt, Sophia. ”

Sophia bit her lip, and with her bold temperament, she finally spoke: "There is another reason why you didn't say it, didn't you?"

"I'm out of this game of competing for the throne, which is why you're so desperate to find a backer for me, and the heir of the Falcon family, the loyal ally of the Violet family, and the future guardian of the north, is undoubtedly the best candidate. ”

"How clever you are, Sophia, none of your brothers can compare to you. The Emperor sighed and stretched out his hand to caress the princess's stubborn face, "Don't frown, Sophia, this expression is not suitable for you at all. ”

"You have to laugh all the time, even after I die, the brightest violets will not fade. ”
