Chapter 31 Major Decisions
"Father. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info what do you think this is?"
When the Night Witch was arranged to leave, only father and son were left in the entire hall.
How magnificent the throne was, how luxurious the roof was, and how flat the ground was, it was certainly not for these two to care.
In fact, Charles told what happened after Rhodia took the Night Witch to meet him, and his mood was irrepressibly excited. This has not been done since birth. At least, it never showed it to the outside world.
Along the way, he never felt that time was so short.
Because he learned that uncertain secret for the first time, he has begun to look forward to the future involuntarily and uncontrollably.
In divergence, in expansion.
When he was about to break through the sky, he was awakened by the knight who guarded him.
Getting out of the car and looking up at the steps leading to the palace, he came back to his senses and calmed down.
Of course, we must look forward to the future, and our ideals can be lofty but not empty and floating.
If we hope that the ideal will be realized, then what drags the ideal up to achieve the goal is wave after wave of various ......
Benefit.
The one who decided the future was Han Qi, who asked someone to lead the talk.
But at this time, decide whether to let the future disappear before it opens, that person......
Not yourself.
It's him, the one to persuade.
The closest people.
"Sunset?"
Alder II walked into some, after all, there was only one petal, and it was not easy to see.
At this time, Alder II recognized it, but looked at Charles with some complaint: "Why don't you put it in a crisper box." ”
Charles calmly took it, crushed it and threw it to the ground, and under the gaze of Alder II, he said softly: "Because I don't plan to use it at all." ”
"Charles!!"
Alder II was stunned, then frowned and glared at him with some anger.
"You can cure me. ”
Charles looked at Alder II, apparently not afraid of him being angry.
"You can be cured. But not eagerly. Even Rhodia went to help me find the sunset, and you pretended not to know. ”
Alder II's expression slowly retracted, bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he sighed lightly and sat on the side, patting Charles on the shoulder: "Are you complaining about me in your heart?"
Charles laughed, shook his head and shook Alder II's hand: "It's the opposite. ”
Looking at Alder II in a distracted manner, Charles spoke softly: "I respect you and love you...... Not because you are His Majesty the Emperor of the Romance Empire, not because you are my father. ”
Alder II smiled: "Is it?
"Because you freely confessed your love for my mother, you did not give up on me because I was an outcast. And he has always treated me like an ordinary prince, even better than other brothers and sisters. ”
Charles looked at Alder II, who was smiling casually: "I know you are not eager to heal me...... Just waiting for my mother to come from the Elven Forest. can make you see her again. ”
Alder II was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "I'm not so infatuated." After all, if she really doesn't come, your illness will definitely be cured. ”
"I know. ”
Charles looked down at the sunset petals crushed on the ground and sighed lightly: "Because ...... I want to see her too. ”
Alder II's body trembled, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he did not say it. It's just the guilt in his eyes, which can't be hidden.
Rubbing his hair, black.
In addition to the color, this son is the one who is most like him.
As an emperor, Alder II is not as domineering as Hokav I of the Berserk Empire, and certainly not as an empress like Eve Jelina of the Corolla Empire. Perhaps he himself represents the temperament of the Romance Empire.
Nothing special. Neither high nor low in any aspect, but negative reviews dominate the list, such as.
He openly returned his illegitimate daughter or even an abandoned child to the status given by the imperial court to ordinary children. This already shows his rebellion against some of the rituals.
It is also known that the Romance Empire also had the most outcasts. Relatively because of the existence of an outcast prince like Charles, life is also the most peaceful among several empires.
When I see Charles, I sometimes vaguely see my younger self.
is also often smiling, mild-tempered, idealistic, and does not like hypocritical and depraved insidious and greedy aristocratic life circles.
But I want to do something big.
But luck was not good.
"I'm looking forward to having a complete home. ”
Charles looked up at his father: "Maybe I'm greedy." The God-given continent knows that Charles, the outcast prince of the Roman Empire, is the happiest of the outcasts. Possess the status, reputation, and material life of a prince. Because of the recognition and protection of his father, he was not oppressed. I shouldn't expect too much. ”
"Don't say it. ”
Alder II interrupted Charles, took a deep breath, and turned his back towards the throne.
Turning around and settling down with a flick of his cloak, Alder II felt sorry for him, so he could not listen to him any more.
He was afraid that he would not be able to refuse, but the reality was that he couldn't accept it if he wanted to.
"For the sake of an outcast, to offend the Holy Court...... Or is it an internal struggle in the Holy Court. ”
Alder II shook his head: "Any normal person knows how to choose, let alone ......"
Alder II looked at Charles: "I am the emperor of an empire. I hate and hate those greedy, insidious, and hypocritical nobles, but I still have to be responsible for them and the entire Romance Empire. ”
Charles looked at Alder II, and after a long time, chuckled and bowed.
"The mercenary's words just now...... Still don't you believe it?"
Alder II pondered for a moment and looked at Charles: "For ten thousand years, it is recognized that outcasts cannot do magic. Not to mention that I have a hard time believing that suddenly an outcast has mastered another way of energy operation other than magic and fighting energy, even if I believe ...... Nothing changed about my decision. ”
"Father's ......"
"Call me Your Majesty. ”
Charles was interrupted as soon as he spoke. Alder II looked at him with a blank expression.
Charles paused and saluted calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Looking up at Alder II, Charles chuckled and said, "Your Majesty." If you believe it, don't say it yet. If you don't believe it, doesn't that mean that the combat power he has mastered can be more easily learned by ordinary outcasts?"
Alder II frowned: "What do you mean?"
Charles spoke: "You just don't believe that he has the way to operate energy, but don't you believe in his combat power either?"
Alder II laughed: "Fight against the Juggernaut?"
Charles shook his head: "Aside from the testimony of that mercenary, just say that he has been in until now, and he can still send someone to pass the word over instead of being killed in the first place." Do you believe that it can be done with some kind of wisdom and luck?"
Alder II's tone froze, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Charles stepped forward slowly, looking at Alder II, frowning and contemplative.
"Father. I am an outcast, and I am not qualified to join the army to fight like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But I still care about the state affairs of the Romance Empire. It's not new that the Berserk War Empire is ready to invade the Romance Empire. Maybe in just one or two years, they will make a big move. You are His Majesty the Emperor of the Romance Empire, and you know better than anyone else. ”
Looking around, Charles leaned over and said: "In today's Roman Empire, the nobles are fighting openly and secretly, oppressing the commoners, oppressing the outcasts, being greedy and tyrannical. It can't compare to the incorruptibility of the Corolla Empire, and it can't compare to the unity of the Fighting Empire. It's no wonder that the first target of choice was us, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to show a hint of belligerence to the Corolla Empire?"
"Can saving an outcast change that?"
Alder II finally spoke, looking at Charles and asking.
Charles took a deep breath and looked at Alder II with a sincere gaze.
"Father. ”
Charles said in a deep voice: "It's not that the other two empires haven't done this kind of thing, but it's a pity that the outcasts who can't do magic fighting are just dead soldiers." Push to the front to block horses and arrows, or do logistics and city defense, and there is no other use. ”
With a somewhat excited tone, Charles stepped forward: "Haven't you seen the opportunity now, rescue Han Qi and teach the outcast to learn this energy operation method." I'm sure and I believe it. For a long time, the outcasts will be grateful for your tolerance and trust, and all the outcasts on the continent will rush to the Romance Empire when they hear the news. While strengthening our strength, we also weaken the strength of the other party. Outcasts, although they have the lowest status, are oppressed. But they do a lot of the heavy lifting. I can't think of any more reason not to get him back. ”
"That's when you're carried away by a vision. ”
Alder II was not as agitated as he was, and stood up and looked at him with a frown: "You have overlooked the cost of doing so. ”
Looking directly at Charles, Alder II spoke in a deep tone: "He has been involved in the internal struggle of the Holy Court, and I am curious about this. He actually did it as an outcast to get involved. But because of this, he had to die. If I suddenly intervene to protect him, I will be on the opposite side of irreconcilable with the Holy See, with the Pope. The three empires have a tacit understanding and have never been involved in the affairs of the Holy Court. The Holy Court will not directly manage the Empire. ”
"Theocracy and Kingship ......"
Charles spoke calmly: "Will there be a day when we can reconcile?"
Alder II was stunned, shook his head and frowned: "But ......"
"But you've never been a man of conventions. ”
Charles interrupted: "You dare to openly admit me, an outcast, back to the royal family, who has always been obsessed with my mother, and who hates the aristocratic class who are already in the same camp as us. What has the Holy Court done in the three major empires over the years? Bright and high, in private, all kinds of dark hypocrisy, cold-blooded cruelty, more hateful than nobles. Are you sure you're going to endure it until the day you go to war with the Berserk Empire?"
Alder II bowed his head in contemplation.
Charles stepped forward and gently took Alder II's arm: "Your Majesty...... Father. Outcasts or notwigs, in fact, one thing is the same. It's power. With power, you have the ability to do what you want. Otherwise, if you look at the outcast, if you don't know how to fight magic, you can only be bullied for nearly 10,000 years. The slightest chance of resistance and self-confidence is gone. ”
Seeing that Alder II still did not speak, Charles was silent for a while, and smiled calmly: "I know, I have said everything I can say." How to make a decision, it's not easy. ”
Alder II shook his head and sighed, and sat back down.
but waved at Charles.
"You go back first...... Let me think. ”
Charles bowed and turned to leave.
Just as the door was opened, Charles suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Alder II, and said with a chuckle: "But if my father agrees...... Actually, I have an excuse that is not blatantly meddler. ”
Alder II was stunned and looked at Charles suspiciously.
Charles looked at him as well, just smiling, but not speaking.
