Emperor Sarantos Midnet looked at her son with disappointment, and at this moment, her heart was filled with emotions, anger, disappointment, and sadness.

Because she knew very well in her heart that her son's disaster this time was too great, and even she, the mother of the emperor, could not calm down the situation.

She wanted to reprimand loudly, but she opened her mouth but closed it, because it was meaningless, and finally just forcibly suppressed her anger, and shook her head helplessly and sighed:

"Hey...... Maxim, you are guilty of shooting at your fellow Valstad, hiring armed men to attack the execution grounds, and kidnapping death row inmates convicted of espionage? ”

Prince Maxim still held his head high in the face of his mother's questioning, he did not think that he had done anything wrong at all, and responded loudly:

"Your Majesty, I repeat, this is my struggle for freedom!

If I hadn't come to the rescue, my lover would have already moved his head by now!

You...... You're too domineering! You always want absolute domination over your children, you always want us to live according to your ideas, you want us to give everything for the country!

Don't give us any freedom! But I don't want that! I want to live my life my way! I have the right to choose my fiancée! ”

The emperor bit his lower lip with his teeth, and the silver-gray pupils radiated light: "According to you, I am to blame for everything today?" Blame me for not being a mother? ”

Prince Maxim didn't dare to look directly at his mother's gaze, he lowered his head, looking a little guilty: "Yes...... It's the case, you only care about state affairs, and you never care about your own children. ”

The Emperor continued to suppress his anger and tried to reason with the child:

"There are some things I don't do well, I admit it...... But Maxim, the mistake you have made this time has nothing to do with these trivial family matters, your actions have risen to the level of a criminal offense, and if I send you to trial, do you know how severely you will be punished? ”

"I didn't kill anyone, I just wounded the executioners...... I guess so...... Three years in prison? Don't drink too much? Don't have pocket money? ”

"Na...... Do you think it's still a punishment like a family? You've made a big mistake! ”

The Emperor raised his remaining right hand and covered his face, looking rather desperate:

"It's really my fault, Maxim, for many years, in order to keep you from suffering, I have arranged everything for you, but this has spoiled you.

Your current worldview is deformed, you only look at everything in the world with the eyes of a playboy, you think that everything can be obtained without paying a price, clothes come to reach out, food comes to open your mouth, and money is just a number to you.

Let me tell you the cruel truth, your actions have involved treason, and there is only one punishment for treason, and that is the death penalty! ”

"Dead?"

This word frightened Prince Maxim, who was a little dizzy and took several steps back in a row.

"Mother...... Are you kidding? You...... Won't it ...... Are you really going to kill me? ”

The emperor raised his voice: "I want to make a big deal happen, but this time I really can't save you, too many people have witnessed today's robbery of the execution ground, if I continue to cover up your criminal acts, it will incur the wrath of all the people of the empire!" ”

The prince fell to his knees and knelt down, he grabbed the cold iron hook on his mother's left arm, and cried and begged, "Mother...... Don't you love me anymore? ”

Maxim...... You should ask yourself, among the princes and princesses, who do I love the most? ”

At this time, Ms. Grancy Steinerberg, who had been silent beside her, spoke:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Sarantos, I am truly in love with your son, and I voluntarily gave up my job as a spy.

Your son is very young, and he doesn't understand a lot of truths, and he made a big mistake on the spur of the moment to save me, so ...... It's all my fault! I am willing to return to the execution ground to accept the death penalty! ”

The emperor said angrily: "Shut up! Woman! Do you think this is the place where you work in the vulgar entertainment ground? I'm telling you, this is the Golden Lake Palace! The royal palace of the Valstad Empire! There's no room for your lowly drama here! I don't have your share of words! ”

Mother, Prince Maxim was not happy: "Your Majesty! She is my fiancée, please respect her! All right? ”

At this moment, the emperor was almost so angry that her son fainted, and she held her forehead:

"What? I, Sarantos Midnet, Emperor of Valsta! To show respect to a female spy of an enemy country?

My foolish son, don't you think before you speak?

And, what's so good about this woman? Silly child, she doesn't deserve you, don't worry about blood, she has given birth to children and been a widow twice! This flaw alone is in no way worthy of being the wife of a prince! ”

Maxim muttered in annoyance, "Why should women be embarrassed by women...... And...... Mother, you...... Aren't you also a widow? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the cronies around the emperor were shocked, and no one had ever dared to be so rude to the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of them was the current prince of the empire, they would have killed people a long time ago.

"You...... You what! The Emperor was so enraged by her son's words that she lost all her patience and began to spit and curse:

"Na! Daring! You rebel! Bastard thing!

I worked hard to conceive a baby for ten months, and I have more than ten years of care and hard work...... That's what you have to say......"

She was filled with grief and indignation, tears poured out of her one eye, and finally, with a trembling voice, the Emperor of Salantos drew the sword from his belt and pointed it at the prince's Adam's apple.

Prince Maxim had never seen his mother look so angry and crazy, and he trembled with fear from the bright blade in front of him, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and the tip of his nose.

Lady Grancy stood in front of the prince: "Your Majesty, this child is too young, his words are not light or serious, if you want to kill, kill me, blame me, if I didn't sign up to be this spy in the first place, I wouldn't have caused these troubles!" ”

The emperor's heart was fighting fiercely, and she was reluctant to attack her son at all, and the words of the female rao in front of her angered her again: "Yes! Damn woman! If only I didn't have you! ”

Enraged, the Emperor lowered the tip of his sword, then slammed it forward, stabbing into Lady Granhee's chest, then expertly pulling it out and throwing it onto the carpet.

Blood immediately stained Lady Grancie's shirt, and she looked down at the wound before falling headlong.

Prince Maxim was stunned for a moment, but after two seconds he realized what had happened, and he began to cry loudly, hugging his lover and yelling: "My dear! No! ”

Even when she was seriously injured and dying, Lady Grancy Steinerberg's voice was as beautiful as when she usually sang, after all, she was born into a family of troubadours and had a nightingale-like singing voice:

"Maxim, I'm sorry...... Our love is a complete mistake...... If only we had never met......"

After that, her pupils began to dilate, and she died in the arms of the prince.

The tragic scene reminded the Emperor of a past when her duke's father had died in her arms like this, and she regretted it, lowered her right hand, and tried to grab her son's shoulder to comfort him.

But Maxim angrily pushed his mother's hand away: "Don't touch me!" You bloodthirsty tyrant! Stay away from me! ”

The emperor's cronies couldn't look at it anymore: "Your Majesty! Watch your words! ”

Maxim wiped away his tears and stood up, the corpse he was holding in his arms gradually losing heat and becoming cold, and the carpet under his feet had been stained red with blood.

"I don't want to be your son anymore, Ms. Salentos! If you want to kill or chop, please feel free! ”

(Na...... I lost him! ）

The emperor's heart first regretted for a while, and then quickly regained firmness.

She has come up with a whole set of plans, and in order for her son to grow up, the tragedy in front of her is necessary, which will remind him of how cruel the nature of this world is.

In addition, there is another thing that she, a mother, must do, that is, to force her son to exercise his ability to survive on his own, and no longer let him continue to play the role of a playboy.

"Maxim, my stupid son, you are so real, you think this Midknight family name is something you can get rid of casually if you don't want it?

You're a fool in a honeypot! Ignorance to the point of pitiful! ”

The Emperor turned his head to an army general and said, "My son, Maxim Midnet, is guilty of treason, and he deserves to be punished according to the law!" But I will punish him more severely, and make a punishment worse than death!

Exile him to the barren plateaus of the north! Execute it now! ”
