Section 23 Heirs to the Throne
Without an opponent to practice swords, Lutierfa's days became more and more boring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoHis father, his mother, and even the great ministers of the whole country wanted him to be successful, and pinned all their expectations on him, but the young Luthieva found such a life unbearable for him. He drowns in the waves of knowledge and etiquette every day, and he is out of breath.
He was no longer interested in Hediway's swordsmanship instruction. Lacking competitors and playmates, one's sword dance is too boring. Luthieva was in a state of confusion, and the fate that others had written for him was like a thousand gold threads, and he desperately tried to break free.
From the day of the poisoned wine incident, Luthieva always remembered the words of Yaga from time to time. When he kept complaining about the severity of his studies like a resentful woman in front of Yega, Yejia coldly threw the sentence:
"Then you give me the position of the crown prince, are you willing?"
Sometimes, when Luthieva thought of this, he could not help laughing at himself, and whispered as if to himself:
"I'm willing......"
The canaries that flew over the palace, so free, that they stayed on his windowsill while Luthiève was studying. Once, a beautiful canary with a red feather on its tail came to Lutierfa's windowsill. Its feathers are supple and shiny, and its eyes are psychic. It grabbed the windowsill with its feet and stared at Luthieva with its head. Those small eyes, clear and transparent, revealed an aura from nature, from the outside world. The canaries flew over the vast land and saw the beautiful scenery, and they stared at Luthieva with their eyes that had seen the magnificent rivers and mountains, and told him that the outside world was wonderful. After that, the canary flew away, and it continued to look for a new nesting place, to feel the new air and rain, while Luthieva was still confined to this small room to learn something that he was not interested in at all.
Then one day, the geography teacher came to teach Luthieva a lesson with a golden cage, and Lutieva looked into the cage curiously and couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that the canary with only red tail feathers was held in the cage. At this moment, the once beautiful canary is jumping up and down in the cage. Its feathers have lost their luster, and its eyes have lost their aura. It is no longer free, and can only jump up and down in small cages, looking for non-existent exits.
Luthieva suddenly felt very sad and angry, and he snatched the cage from the teacher's hand, his face hideous. For the first time, the geography teacher saw Luthiefa, who was usually so well-behaved and lovely, and couldn't help but be stunned in place. It wasn't until Luthieva came to the window and opened the cage that he realized what was happening and tried to stop it, but it was too late. So, the red-tailed canary that he had worked so hard to catch was let go by the students.
At that time, Luthieva looked at the back of the canary flying into the blue sky and smiled as brightly as the sun.
In the days that followed, it was as if Luthieva had suddenly changed as a person, and in the eyes of his teachers, he became much more "motivated". He was thirsty for knowledge and studied desperately, and whenever he had free time, he would go to the royal library to read, and he would read it until late at night, and be taken back to his bedroom by the old curator every day. The ministers began to feel relieved, thinking that their crown prince had finally realized his identity, but they did not know that Luthieva had already sprung up in his heart ideas that were very different from their expectations.
Soon, the teachers discovered that Lutierfa's learning was targeted. He studied geography and trade very seriously, but his enthusiasm for other subjects was not so high, especially in court etiquette, where Luthiève sometimes dozed off.
The ministers began to worry that their crown prince was not only interested in geography and trade, but in fact he still did not have the consciousness of becoming a king.
No matter how idle the ministers who speculated about the psychology of the crown prince every day, Luthieva always absorbed the knowledge he needed at his own pace.
Finally, one day, he ran to his father, Emperor Anglas, and plucked up the courage to say:
"Father, I want to be a businessman. ”
At first, Anglas thought he was joking and didn't think so. But the more Luthiefa spoke, the more earnest he became, and Anglas changed his face.
"You are the crown prince, and you should have the consciousness of being a king. ”
"Father, has it ever occurred to me that I may not be the most suitable person to succeed to your throne? ”
"You're still young, you have to learn everything, and it's true that you're not qualified to be a king now, but you still have a lot of time to learn. ”
"But that's not the life I want. What I really want to do is to be a businessman and travel the world. ”
Anglas's anger gradually rose, and he began to think that the child in front of him was just playing childish temper. He thought that Luthieva was just because his studies were too boring and he didn't want to learn, so he came to complain to himself.
"Father, I am loose by nature, and in this court, I am not the most suitable candidate to be the king. Yejia has worked harder than me, and he knows how to govern the country better than me, although the poisoned liquor incident was the first, but it was completely his mother's instigation, and it has nothing to do with him, why didn't my father make Yega the crown prince?"
"Bastard, are you shirking the crown prince's responsibilities now?"
"Father, I think you should put the throne in the hands of someone more suitable, you don't need to look at the faces of the ministers, bloodline is only secondary, the most important thing is ability. ”
"Get me out! I don't want to see a man who wants to travel all day long and has no ambition to talk to me about who will inherit the throne!"
The dispute ended in a furious outburst. Luthieva remembered that Anglas was the one who said in front of others, "If there is no heir, the ceremony of choosing a king among the people", and his father could say such things regardless of blood, then if he was gone, his father would have made Yega the crown prince. The fact that Anglas has not canceled Yega's succession to the throne until that incident is the best proof of this.
So Luthieva read all kinds of geography and trade-related books more diligently, thinking that one day he would be able to get out of the golden cage of Yebasta and fly out into the wider world outside.
If you don't have the material to be the crown prince, you can simply disappear completely and give this opportunity to others. Thinking like this, Luthieva finally began to prepare for "running away from home".
This opportunity finally came in the spring of 1189 in the continental calendar.
