When the current Imperial Prime Minister, Marquis Dali Einfurt, walked down the stairs, he saw that the hall on the first floor was already crowded with heavily armed Guardsmen.

A tall figure stood beside the fountain in the rotunda, with the imperial emblem embroidered with gold thread on a bright red cloak, and it turned out that His Majesty the Emperor had personally arrived.

She was pinching a handful of breadcrumbs to feed the tropical fish in the fountain pond, a hobby similar to that of her father, the Duke of East.

(It is worthy of being the daughter of the Duke, Your Majesty, she also likes to watch fish, I hope this will make her easier.) ）

Dalí failed to complete the task of persuading the prince, and walked to the emperor in despair:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I tried my best...... But your son still refuses to return to the palace.

Not only that, but his attitude became worse, and it seems that the punishment of exile had the opposite effect, not only did he not become self-reliant, but became more rebellious, and the only good news was ...... He did not practice voodoo. ”

"Old man...... Tell me, Dali, what should I do with this kid......"

Dali Einfoot looked at the floor and was silent, just shook his head.

The emperor threw all the remaining crumbs into the pond:

"Hey...... I still hope to take Maxim back to the palace, no matter how much he hates me, I just can't live without him, I confess that I regret it, I shouldn't have exiled him in the first place. ”

Dalí raised his head: "Your Majesty, whether it is state affairs or family education, you should maintain a tough attitude, and your continued concessions will only make this child gain an inch." ”

"Dali, you're a man, you don't know what it's like to be a mother.

This kid ...... He's a piece of meat that fell off me! It was my doting that hurt him, making him hypocritical, lazy and willful, but I just couldn't watch him suffer! ”

Dali Einfoot frowned, obviously disappointed, and thought: (Woman...... Women, even the overlord empress who made the neighboring nations tremble, could not escape the kindness of women.

A cowardly king can harm the country, and a doting mother can harm the whole family.

Inconsistencies... If you continue to compromise like this...... Sooner or later, Prince Maxim will cause even greater trouble, and I must persuade His Majesty to change his mind before that happens. ）

So he said:

"I don't quite understand...... I thought you had already made up your mind, and you did everything right at the beginning, but why did you suddenly start to weaken? With all due respect, your relationship with His Royal Highness is very difficult to repair, and don't forget, Your Majesty, it was you who killed the person he loved the most. ”

Empress Sarantos Midknight was shocked, and she slowly raised her right hand and looked at her rough, calloused and cracked palm:

"My hands are covered with blood, so much so that I can't remember how many people I've killed, and now I can't wash it off, but I dare to swear that I will never hurt innocent people, but I will never let go of a disaster!

Ms. Grancy Steinerberg...... That damned troubadour, if she hadn't become a spy to seduce my son, my precious Maxim would not have fallen to where he is now!

Besides, the crime of espionage is a capital crime, and it is an honor for this woman to die under the emperor's sword in person, I really don't understand what I did wrong......

If I could turn back the clock, I would kill her again, but this time I would avoid my son, and I wouldn't do it myself, and killing her in person would have too much of a psychological impact on Maxim, I admit it. ”

Seeing that the emperor was shaken, Dali was even more worried:

"Let's face it, His Royal Highness Prince Maxim already hates you so much that it's hard to turn it around...... Maybe you should put him under house arrest, or at least stop letting him out and mess around.

The forces of the Voodoo Cult have set their sights on him, and your son has become a scar in the Scaly Country, and has become the deadliest breakthrough for our Valsta royal family, and once it continues to be used, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Salantos Midknight's silver-gray one-eyed eyes were full of exhaustion and loss:

"I understand...... My vizier, I know, the strongest fortresses are often breached from within. ”

"Since you understand everything, I don't have much, I wish your mother and son a speedy harmony...... It's not too early, and there are still a lot of documents waiting for me to review at the Prime Minister's Residence, so I'll take my leave first, Your Majesty. ”

"Let's go, Prime Minister, and the others, the retinue, and the guards in the hall, disbanded on the spot. I went up to him myself. ”

The Emperor came to the door of a room on the second floor and hesitated for half a minute before knocking.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who is it?"

After more than a year, hearing the voice of his son who had been thinking about it day and night again, Salantos's eyes were filled with tears:

(My Baby Maxim...... It's all to blame for your mother's cruelty, how can she kick you out of the palace! You must have suffered a lot...... His voice was hoarse. ）

"It's me......" she said.

"Whoa!"

The sound of a broken cup came from inside the door:

"It's you...... You tyrant...... Executioner! I don't want to see your ugly face again...... Let's go! ”

Salantos Midknight lay on the door, and the iron-blooded emperor had a sour nose, and sobbed and pleaded:

"Good boy...... Just let Mommy look at you, okay? Please, I miss you so much! ”

"If you force your way in, I'll hurt myself with a knife!"

The emperor was so frightened that he fell to the ground:

"Don't ...... Other! Don't do anything stupid! My good son, my mother will just say a few words to you through the door, this is always okay......"

"Hmph...... Take your liking! ”

"Good son...... Tell Mom...... Have you ever been injured? I'm scared to death, I haven't had a good night's sleep in more than a year. ”

"Of course I was hurt, I was scarred, there was a man who chased me and wanted my life, but fortunately I escaped from the clutches."

The Emperor became furious, and the iron hook of his left arm cut a deep dent in the wooden door:

"What? Daring! How dare you hurt my son? Who's that bastard? Give him his name and Mommy will help you settle him! I'll cut off his head! ”

The prince inside the door said in a playful tone:

"Hmph...... Ms. Salentos, I haven't seen you for so long, and you still haven't changed, you look fierce and cruel, and you want to take people's lives at every turn, and my person is just outside this door, it's you, tyrant! ”

"No...... Please, my baby sweetheart, don't be so ...... Mom can't stand it...... I was wrong...... Mom is wrong, Mom shouldn't have kicked you out of Jinhu Palace...... Let's go home now, shall we? ”

"No, you're right, on the contrary, I want to thank you, Ms. Salentos."

"What...... What...... I didn't understand ......"

"Thank you for taking away my lover Grancy Steinerberg,

Thank you for taking away my life of ease and progress,

Thank you for taking away my dear Miss Rosemary,

Thank you for exile me, so that I can see the warmth and coldness of this world.

Thank you for taking away my cherished hand

It made me realize that I had to make a break with you, a tyrant, and that I had to lead the oppressed people of Valsta to rise up in revolt! ”
