Chapter 519 There are no saints in this world, and the more saints are, the more selfish they are in some ways
"Father!", Empress Pars was dressed in a rare ordinary civilian dress, facing the sky, and did not wear any ornaments on her body, but this ordinary outfit still could not hide her noble temperament. The www.biquge.info temperament is very magical, obviously intangible, but in people's perception, it has become a tangible thing. Some people think that the so-called temperament is nonsense, but temperament does exist.
Two strangers walking on the street wearing the same clothes, just by looking past, they can tell in their hearts who is from the countryside and who is from the city. Momentum is a very mysterious thing, more mysterious than temperament, is personal momentum.
Momentum has nothing to do with temperament, it is higher than temperament, and it is a manifestation of personal intrinsicism.
Someone standing there, you can only think of him as ordinary. There is also someone standing there, but you will think that he is tall and powerful.
The slightly wrinkled bridge of her nose between Empress Pars's eyebrows and her eyes revealed her extraordinary momentum to the outside world all the time. As long as one look, people can feel that there is a mountain pressing on them, and as long as one movement, they can make people feel dry mouth.
At this time, the old man in front of Empress Pars did not have the slightest embarrassment.
He was the father of Empress Pars, the sixth emperor of the Orlando Empire, and was once the first person in the world. At this time, he sat opposite the Empress Pars with a smile in his parliamentarian's outfit, and although the lavish decoration around him looked extraordinary, it always gave people the feeling of an upstart.
This is the estate of a wealthy man in the Silver Ring District, one of the henchmen of Emperor Orlando VI who has developed over the years, and has done some dirty work for him.
Every emperor wants to show his most perfect side in front of the world, but this does not mean that every emperor is flawless and selfless. The emperor is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he will have all kinds of selfish desires, so there are people who specialize in doing dirty work. Doing dirty work for the emperor was not a good job, because the more dirty work you did, the closer you were to death. To put it in layman's terms, that's that you know too much!
Before the tycoon could disappear, Emperor Orlando VI abdicated, giving him a chance to survive and facilitating the meeting between Empress Pars and Emperor Orlando VI today.
On different occasions, the two showed different things. When he was in the inner courtyard of the palace, one was full of diligence and the other was crazy. But after leaving that place, no one is stronger than the other, everyone is equal.
In her inner world, she may not have admiration for this old man, but she has more hatred and complicated feelings. From an early age, Empress Pars had to receive an education far superior to that of her other siblings, and if others received an aristocratic elite education, then she received an emperor-style elite education.
To this day, she still remembers her first lesson, as well as her helplessness, fear, insecurity, and tears.
When Empress Pars was six years old, Emperor Orlando VI gave her a very cute little rabbit. She didn't know the breed of the rabbit, the fur was bright yellow, very cute, and the fluffy rabbit was the favorite of the Queen of Pars at that time. Whether it's day or night, whether she's studying or sleeping, Bunny is her best friend. For the indifferent gaze and alienation of her brothers and sisters, in the world of Queen Pars, only the little rabbit is her true friend, her only companion.
However, she officially received her first lesson in the so-called imperial education, and Emperor Orlando VI gave her a knife to kill her favorite bunny. Empress Pars was unwilling to carry out her father's unreasonable and cruel demands, and begged her father, the emperor at the time, to spare the rabbit with tears. However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and in the eyes of the emperor, there is no possibility that a rabbit and a qualified heir can be compared.
So the Emperor of Orlando VI, holding the hand of the Empress Pars with his own hand, took a knife, and stabbed the little rabbit to death. Looking at the little rabbit's convulsive body as his life was about to end, watching Empress Pars hold the little rabbit in her arms and cry bitterly despite the blood infection, Emperor Orlando VI only said a sentence that Empress Pars remembers to this day.
"Don't let mercy dominate your will, you are destined to be an emperor, the emperor does not need to have superfluous and meaningless feelings, today maybe you kill just a rabbit, tomorrow maybe you will kill a living person, even your brothers and sisters!"
In a word, Empress Pars lived in fear during her childhood, because she was not sure when her great father would have her kill one of her siblings on a whim, when she really thought that Emperor Orlando VI would do so.
In the education that Empress Pars received from childhood, Emperor Orlando VI was like a shadow that hung over the most important periods of her life. After Emperor Orlando VI was half-paralyzed by a scandal in the royal family, Empress Pars finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the sun, bathing her in the long-lost sunshine.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Emperor Orlando VI once again deceived everyone.
"I'm not your father!", Emperor Orlando VI shook his head with a slightly formulaic smile, "Your Majesty Pars, have you forgotten what I said to you?, in this world, don't let anyone be above you, the Emperor, and if there is, kill him!"
"So I'm not your father, I'm just an ordinary old man. Can you call me by my name or give me a nickname?"
The first thing children should do after learning and growing up is often to rebel against their parents' will, which is also known as rebellious psychology.
The more you don't let me scream, the more I will scream.
The corners of Empress Pars's mouth hooked, "Now I am the Emperor, father." Orlando VI shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless expression, "My brother, your favorite Kant, has been making a lot of trouble lately. He was very promising, and he actually mixed in with the rebels, and my lovely brothers and sisters, who stood clearly on the side of my enemies. Don't you think you should do something about it as our father?"
Orlando VI laughed at Empress Pars's questioning, his laughter filled with an indescribable emotion, he raised his arm and raised his hand, "What should I do? Grab them and whip them?", he shook his head, "No, that's not what I'm supposed to do. ”
"You have grown up, you should also have your own judgment and decision, I am just an ordinary old man, I do not have any power to restrain who should do what. I'm old, and I deserve a leisurely life and enjoy my old age. ”
Empress Pars did not give any polite-for-tat, and showed a slightly sneering expression, "So you have arranged some dead soldiers in the secret passages? I have to thank you, my father, for your protection of me." ”
At that time, Emperor Orlando VI did arrange hundreds of dead soldiers in the secret passage, and their existence was to make the final preparations to redeem the fate of the Orlando family at the most critical moment. Once Isaac does invade the imperial capital, then these dead soldiers will clean up everyone in the palace, including the Empress Pars. Then he, the old emperor, would rise again, and in exchange for an armistice with the head of Empress Pars, he would sign an alliance with the rebels.
He did this to save the Orlando family's fate. For the old emperor, as long as the Orlando family is still the royal family of this empire, then even if it may be hidden by the light of the nobles in the future, one day, it will break through the shackles and return to the top of this world.
And all of this has a premise, which is that the Orlando family must exist in this world.
The death of a family member in exchange for the continuation of a family is not a loss!
Empress Pars understood it too, of course, but it was clear that if it was her who had to give her life, it would be useless to understand.
Emperor Orlando VI smiled and did not say a word on the subject, believing that if one day Empress Pars were faced with the same situation, she would make the same decision, because he knew her, she was a qualified emperor, and had the same rational and ruthless determination as he did.
After a pause, Empress Pars said the first thing she wanted to say, "Kant is your favorite child, and now that he has done something wrong, as his father, you have the responsibility and obligation to help him get back on the right path." You once told me not to kill my brothers and sisters, because I would regret it when I reached your age. But my esteemed father, I followed your advice, but I regretted it before I reached your age. ”
"Now, you are the only one who can save all this. ”
Emperor Orlando VI was also a little uncomfortable with this sentence, and Empress Pars did not do anything to her brothers and sisters after ascending the throne, which Emperor Orlando VI was very pleased with. However, Empress Pars did the right thing, and others did what they shouldn't have done, which made him a little unable to get off the stage.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Orlando VI nodded and said, "I will try my best to resolve this matter...... But you also have to be prepared. "Yes, be prepared. Emperor Orlando VI, who has lived all his life, of course, knows very well that when the ambition and desire of a prince are ignited, it is definitely not something that can be resolved with a few words or a few conditions. This must go through a round of tragic fighting before this problem can be completely solved, from the body to the soul.
He did it as a last ditch effort.
He agreed to meet with the Empress of Pars, and he had other things to say besides these things.
"Watch out for Wren!", Emperor Orlando VI hit the nail on the head of all his thoughts, which was to watch out for Wren. Wren is not a good man, the old emperor has long found out about this, especially after Wren suppressed the rebellion in Ortlenburg, his means, his ways, are not at all what a young man can do. Above all, Wren is not demanding of power!
This is the one thing that the old emperor is most afraid of.
Behind every action of each person, there must be a goal.
I eat to fill my stomach.
I breathe for the continuation of life.
I fought to get promoted and get rich.
But Wren had done so many things, including a lot for the Empress of Pars, had he ever asked for anything, such as a promotion to a knighthood, such as a large fiefdom, such as making some excessive demands?
No, nothing!
He did whatever he did, just as he was supposed to do, whether it was his own private business or doing things for the Empire. Everything is so natural, without asking for anything in return, it is simply a model of nobility.
But is that really the case?
The old emperor didn't think so, he felt that Wren didn't really ask for anything in return, but that they, including himself, Empress Pars and Prime Minister Gamwen, hadn't discovered Wren's true goal yet.
When one's goal is unknown, there are only two possibilities.
The goal is too humble, and people's vision is too high, so they can't see it.
Another possibility is that the goal is too far-reaching, too deep, for people to discover.
Emperor Orlando VI felt that the latter would be more likely.
What exactly does he want to do?
In the mind of Emperor Orlando VI, there was a faint guess, but he could not say it. He knows very well that the Empire's need for stability at this time exceeds everything, and if Wren is forced to stand up against the Empire at this time, even if the Orlando family will not be finished, it will definitely not be better. So he didn't say anything, just reminded Empress Pars to be careful of Wren.
Empress Pars was slightly stunned, and nodded slightly, "I understand, I'm also on guard against him." ”
The old emperor sighed, "I regret it, I didn't just think that since the matter didn't work out, it would be over." Now it seems that sometimes people need a little paranoia, but also a little madness. ”
When it came to this topic, Empress Pars obviously did not want to say more, "It's all in the past, and people have to look forward." Father, I'll leave the matter on Kant's side, please. Like you said, you will regret something, and I will, when faced with the same choice again, I will not choose the path that I regret again. ”
At this point, Empress Pars stood up, "I should go back......", she was just about to turn around, her footsteps stopped again, and glanced back at the old emperor, "Before everything is settled, you better not think about leaving the imperial capital, it will remind me of some bad things, and thus make a decision that I regret!"
He smiled, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
Leaving the old emperor alone, there was a faint sigh.
