Chapter 382: The Princess Speaks
Solandale broke into the synagogue and demanded a speak, which left Perseus in a dilemma.
Let her speak... She is not a member of parliament and is not qualified to speak in plenary meetings, so it is not impossible to make an exception for her to say so, but once this opening is opened, it will definitely have a bad impact in the future.
Don't let her say it... The daughter has always been well-behaved since she was a child, and this time not only trespassed into the synagogue, but even disobeyed her father's orders in public, which must have brought a belly, if this is not allowed to be said, his father should be too ruthless.
Andre reacted quickly, realizing Perseus's predicament early, he hurriedly got up from the front seat, gently put his arm on Solandale's shoulder, and advised softly: "Ninth sister, now that my father is presiding over the meeting, my brother will take you to eat something first." When my father is done, we will come to him again, will you say okay? ”
"Andrey." Pertheus waved his hand twice with a blank face, motioning for him to step away.
André bowed to Perseus and bowed back to his seat.
Now that the king had acquiesced, the councillors watched Solandale silently, waiting for her to speak.
Of course, from the careless eyes of the parliamentarians, it can be seen that no one is optimistic about Solandelle, what can a 12-year-old girl say? You can guess casually, it's nothing more than choking up and crying your nose, telling about your past memories with Chino, pitifully selling miserable to everyone, and helping Chino to intercede or something.
If this kind of petty thing can affect the outcome of the Kingdom Plenary Council, then there is no need for this meeting to exist.
Solandale didn't pay attention to the eyes of the councillors, she looked at Chino, although she didn't shed tears, her voice was obviously hoarse from crying: "I'm sad today because my friend is standing on the judgment bench and is about to lose his freedom forever..."
"I was once told that if I wanted to make a good impression on my father, I should not mention my personal relationship with this friend, otherwise the more I spoke for him, the more disgusted he became. I'd better forget about him, be happy every day, pretend to be happy, pretend to be happy, pretend to be my father..."
"But I don't think that's true. To be sad is to be sad, and there is no need to hide it. I have been having trouble sleeping for the past few days, and I have searched for all the people I can find for him, and I always hope that he will be free as soon as possible. I can't pretend, I don't want to pretend, I'm really sorry for him..."
As soon as Solandale said this, some people in the parliamentary seat began to sigh.
Chino is a magistrate and Solandelle is a princess of the royal family, and the magistrate and the royal family are too close to each other, which no king in the past has ever wanted to see.
This kind of thing will breed a hotbed of corruption at least and may shake the country's foundation.
In particular, Solandale is one of the future candidates for the crown prince!
What is the king most afraid of? I am most afraid that my throne is still there, and before the person is dead, the princes and princesses below will begin to secretly form parties for personal gain, fall into party disputes, and attack each other, that is the way to lose the country!
Solandelle had honestly ignored Chino, just a few casual sentences, which could be used as wind in her ears, left ear in and right ear out, but now she has to shake out the personal relationship between the two parties, which is simply pushing her friend into the fire pit.
Yuan Wen glanced at Solandale, smiled meaningfully for some reason, and stroked his beard slowly.
As soon as Perseus heard his daughter break into the synagogue to talk such nonsense, his mood suddenly became a little irritated, and he was about to make Solandelle retreat, but he did not expect her to speak first.
"But the saddest thing for me wasn't what happened to Chino." Solandale turned around, swept his gaze over the legislature's seat, as if looking at every councillor in his eyes, and said sadly, "What saddens me the most is the councillors here, it's you." ”
The parliamentarians immediately looked at each other, not understanding what the truth was, and some people thought that Solandelle was too sad, people were a little stupid, they had never offended the Nine Princesses, how could it be sad?
Solandale's gaze swept over the faces of the councillors, and her voice seemed to be filled with some kind of fiery power: "Since I was a child, I have read many literary works, "Eclipse", "Thousand Years of Darkness", "She is a Dragon", "Laurel Blossoms"..."
"I have read of the Sun King's unwavering will to dissolve the House of the Gods and to go on an expedition to the Northlands; I read that the City of Keystone had been burned to the ground by visitors from outside the sky, and that the corpses of the dead Sun soldiers were strewn all over the field; I found that the darkness of a thousand years was only a façade, and the light of the sun had already burned all over the heavens of the gods; I also know that on the eve of the blood of the dragon and the laurel, victory in the Battle of the Dead River is inevitable. ”
"In our history, no matter where that story takes place, when a force is invaded by a foreign enemy, the whole army will always work together and unite as one, even if there are prejudices between each other, they will temporarily put aside their grievances and unite with the outside world."
"I thought that this was true not only in history, but also in the present, and even more so in the Kingdom of Dogulander. But the facts shattered my illusions... The extraterrestrial visitor who had disappeared for 2,700 years has reappeared in the mortal world, and on the occasion of the invasion, I do not see in you the unity it deserves. ”
Solandale looked at the huge Edward and looked him straight into the eyes: "I see that some families don't care about whether a thing is right or not, but just use it as a bargaining chip to win people's hearts and minds, and secretly manipulate other people's blood. ”
Solandale looked at the old horned heron, and the young voice was full of unshakable power: "I see that some families deliberately equate the technology of the visitors to the sky with blasphemy, so as to create contradictions and antagonisms, not really out of faith, but to ensure their monopoly position. ”
Solandale turned around, looked straight at Pertheus's right hand, and did not shy away from looking at the right hand of the king above ten thousand people: "There are also some families, they keep saying that they are for the benefit of the kingdom, but who knows what they think behind their backs?" They are dedicated to justice on the surface, but are they really that clean secretly? ”
The faces of the three people who have been watched by Solandelle are not very good, and the nine princesses say that they are "some families", but in fact, they are scolding by name, and they are the kind of scolding that does not spit out dirty words, shows no mercy, and does not leave you any window paper, and stabs them all.
Politics is such a thing as being decent.
What does it mean to be decent? It's that I know that you are not a good thing, you also know that I am not a good thing, none of us are good things, it is okay to know each other, but you must not say it.
The upper class is not a barbarian fist to the flesh, but a power game between the aristocracy, "decency" is the most basic principle of the game, you can feel that it is hypocritical, but you can't fail to abide by it, otherwise no one will play with you in the rules in the future, and everyone will use things outside the rules against you.
Edward and Horned Heron looked at the stage together, and Lan Xian also looked sideways at Perseus, although they were speechless, their eyes all expressed the same meaning: take care of your daughter.
