Are you crippled? But if you decide to be crippled now, you probably won't have the right to go to her.

Filmin doesn't think you need her mercy, as it's a terrible substitute for love. Then he got up and walked away, staring at the fire and thinking.

Is Filmin a cripple? Is Filmin lost? Filmin's body is as incongruous as an untuned harp string.

He was right, this time it was not His Majesty's will that succeeded, but Filin's will prevailed over everything. Prince Hermes of Filin is still waiting to inherit the throne of the five principalities, and the princess of the mountains is now his wife. Fei Lin was afraid of His Majesty's shame and laughed at Fei Lin's trembling hands?

Can Filin laugh at him for never being king? Filin's heart was filled with a fierce sense of satisfaction.

Borges was right, not only was he not lost, but he was sure to let His Majesty know that he had won.

If Philin defeats His Majesty, won't he be able to win back Ariana? What is stopping people? Is it Ah Kin?

But when Borges heard that she had left Fort Bucks and was unmarried and penniless with her relatives, it was disgusting that Ah Kin would let her leave like that, and that Filin would go after her and find her, and win her back.

Ariana, whose hair flowed in the wind, and Ariana, who was dressed in a bright red dress and cloak, fell like a red bird, and her eyes were shining.

The thought of her couldn't help but make Filin's spine tremble, and Filin could only smile to himself, and then grinned like a grin.

Film's whole body convulsed, causing the back of Film's head to pop off the bed frame. Fei Lin couldn't help but cry out loud, a kind of wordless howl.

Jiang Qian appeared a short time later, she called Borges over, and they held Firin's limbs tightly. As Borges struggled with the weight of his body to suppress Film's violent shaking, Filmin fainted again.

As if rising to the surface of warm water, Filmin returned from darkness to light.

The deep feather bed soothed Filmin like a cradle, and the soft and warm blanket made Filmin feel safe. For a while, everything around him was so peaceful and peaceful, and it felt good that Filin lay in silence.

"Fitz?" Borges leaned over to speak to Filin.

Film returns to the real world. Filin knew he was a wretched mess, like a puppet with tangled threads, or a horse with a badly wounded tendon.

Filmin can't get back to his former appearance, and Filmin's former world can no longer accommodate Film.

Borges has said that mercy is a terrible substitute for love, and Filin doesn't want anyone's mercy.

"Borges. ”

He bent lower. "It's not that bad. He's lying, "Rest well now, ...... tomorrow"

"You're leaving for Fort Buck tomorrow. Filin said to Borges.

He frowned, "Take your time." Give yourself a few days to recover, and then people ......"

"Nope. Filmin sat up slowly, straining to his feet, speaking with all his might.

"Filmin decided. Tomorrow you go back to Fort Buck, where people and animals are waiting for you, they need you. It's your home and your world, but it's not Film's anymore. ”

He was silent for a few moments. "And what are you going to do?"

Filmin shook his head. "You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to worry about others, it's Filin's own business. ”

"What about the girl?"

Filmin shook his head even more violently. She had wasted her youth caring for a crippled father, and instead became a debtor. Do you think Filin can just go to her? Filin should ask her to love Filin and be a burden to her like her father? Whether she's single or married, it's better for her to maintain the status quo. ”

The silence between people extends infinitely. Jiang Qi was busy in a corner of the room, concocting another dose of herbs that would not work for Film, while Borges stooped over Filmin like a dark cloud on a thunderstorm. Filin knew he wanted to shake Filin awake and slap Filin away, but he didn't.

Borges did not reach out and hit a cripple.

"So," he finally spoke, "is the king left, or have you forgotten to have sworn to be my prince?"

"Filin didn't forget. "If Filin still believes that he is a normal person, he will go back, but Filin is no more, Borges."

The film has become a kind of obligation to others, like a pawn in a chess game that needs to be protected, or a hostage to be slaughtered, incapable of defending himself and protecting others.

No, as a member of my prince's people, Fei Lin can only leave this chess game before others harm Fei Lin and hurt the king. ”

Borges turned away. His figure formed a silhouette in the gloomy room, but his face was not clear by the firelight.

"People will talk about it tomorrow. He spoke.

"Just saying goodbye. Filmin interjected. "Filin's mind is up, Borges. Filin reached out and stroked the earrings on his ears.

"If you stay, Filin will have to follow you. There was an unshakable insistence in his deep tone.

"That won't work. Filin told him. "Fillin's father told you to stay where you are to raise a little bastard, and now that Filin has told you to leave, the king still needs your allegiance to him. ”

"Fitz Silver, Filin is not ......"

"Please. He didn't know what he heard from Film's tone, but he felt that he was suddenly silent.

"Filmin is so tired, damn tired. Filmin only knew that he would not be able to fulfill the expectations of others in his lifetime, and Filmin was really powerless. Filin's voice trembled like an old man's. "No matter what Filmin had to do, and no matter what Filmin swore to do, Filmin was already covered in bruises and unable to fulfill Filmin's promise.

Maybe Film's wrong thing to do, but that's what happened. It's someone else's plan and someone else's goal every time, and it's never filmin's. Film's tried, but ...... "Filmin felt the whole room shake, as if someone else was talking, and Filmin was shocked, but couldn't deny that these words were the truth."

"Filmin needs to be alone now, to rest. Filmin said briefly. They both looked at Filin in silence at the same time, and then slowly left the room, as if hoping that Filin would change his mind and stop them, but Filin didn't.

As they left, Filin let herself exhale. Filin was dizzy about his decision, but Filin really didn't plan to go back to Fort Bucks, and he didn't know what to do next.

Having removed the rest of his broken life from the chessboard, he finally has a chance to reorganize himself and plan for a new life.

Fei Lin gradually realized that he was no longer suspicious, and although his heart was still intertwined with regret and comfort, he was no longer suspicious. Fihrin would rather start a new life in a place where no one knows about Firin, and live according to anyone's wishes, not even the king's wishes.

Filin lay back in bed, completely relaxed for the first time in weeks. Goodbye, Filin thought wearily. Filin wanted to say goodbye to everyone, and stood in front of the king for the last time to see him nod his head in approval.

Perhaps, Filmin could make him understand why Filmin didn't want to go back, but Filmin wouldn't do that. That's it, that's really it. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Filmin muttered to himself, staring at the leaping flames in the fireplace until he fell asleep.

Being a crown prince or princess is like stepping firmly on the fence of responsibility and authority.

It is said that this position was used to satisfy the heir's ambitions for power, while also educating him on how to exercise his authority. The eldest child of the royal family, he became the crown prince on his sixteenth birthday.

From then on, the crown prince or princess assumed all the responsibilities of being in charge of the five principalities. Often, the crown prince immediately takes on the duties that the ruling monarch is least concerned about, and these duties vary significantly depending on the period of the reign.

Prince Silver Radiance first became the crown prince during the reign of King Creek.

For him, King Crick handed over all matters related to the frontier, such as war, negotiations, diplomacy, the fatigue of the long journey, and the tragic conditions faced in the battle.

When Prince Yinhui abdicated the throne and Prince Hermes succeeded him as crown prince, he also inherited the unknown situation of fighting the outer islanders, and the resulting civil wars between the inland and coastal Grand Duchy, which were made difficult by the king's decision to overturn him at any time.

As a result, he is often forced to clean up messes that have nothing to do with him, and can only choose to defend himself against himself.

Princess Floya's position may be even more precarious. Coming from the mountains, she seemed out of place in the courts of the five principalities.

She might have been more tolerant in peacetime, but the Fort Tag court was boiling over the civil strife of the five principalities.

The Outer Islands continue to attack coastal areas with unprecedented offensives, causing more damage than plunder. During the first winter of Princess Floya's reign, the first winter raids were experienced.

The threat of raids followed, and the pain caused by the Smelting Town incident lingered, shaking the foundations of the five principalities.

The people's confidence in the ruling monarch is low, and as an eccentric wife who is not loved by the crown prince, Princess Floya is in a situation that is not enviable at all.

The Great Duchy of Landlock, in a court divided by civil strife, complained from time to time that they had to pay taxes to protect the coastal areas that were not under their jurisdiction.

However, the Grand Duchy of the Coast was in dire need of warships and troops, and it was also important to deter invaders from raiding the most vulnerable parts of the territory.

His Majesty, who was born in the hinterland, frequently offered courtesy to the dukes of the hinterland, and strengthened his power through gifts and social connections. Crown Prince Hermes, who thought he was no longer capable of defending himself against the invaders, concentrated on building warships to defend the Grand Duchy of the coast.

For the most part, King Creek crouched like a giant spider, doing his best to divide power equally between himself and his sons in order to maintain the territorial integrity of the five principalities.

As an illegitimate child, it stands to reason that there is no benefit to be gained.
