……
"Are all the headlines in your empire so weird?"
Preshito put down the newspaper, took a sip of black tea, rubbed his eyebrows and said, I don't know if this action is because he feels spicy or because his blood pressure rises due to being deceived by the title.
"I think it's funny!
Mebis's eyes lit up, "Look, Olgas! The title is catchy, isn't it? ”
"Uh...... Yes! ”
Ogaste hesitated for two seconds, silently muttering in his heart, "What is so attractive", and at the same time secretly decided, "Let them take all the news in the future".
There are no televisions and mobile phones in this world, and newspapers take on a large proportion of the media propaganda tasks, and because of the vast territory of the Albarez Empire, which accounts for almost seventy percent of the entire Arachitasia, even though the empire divides newspapers according to regions and types, each newspaper still has a lot of news to report.
What Presito, Melti, and Ogaste are now reading is a comprehensive newspaper published by Vestarion, which contains recent major news from a channel near the royal capital.
Seeing that Mebis still behaved like a child in front of his son, Preshito was speechless for a while: "I can't understand at all, where is this kind of news attractive......"
"You're from the last generation, of course you can't understand it! Now only eye-catching titles can sell well! ”
Aged...... You're obviously from the same age as me!
"Bo people's eyeballs?? Well...... Anyway, I don't think it's hot! ”
Preshito shook his head and expressed his opinion, then stretched out his hand to one of the news: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us whether the newspaper is hot or not, I think this is the most important thing to pay attention to!" ”
The two of them looked in his direction, and Preshito was pointing to the "military" column.
The specific content is: one of the twelve shields, the princess of war, Timaria, led a brave soldier expedition to the overseas archipelago and incorporated more than 20 islands into the territory of the Albarez Empire; More than a dozen islands agreed to the imperial garrison, which was equivalent to breaking the door of Yin Xiujia'erfang.
"Are you really going to war with Yin Xiugar?"
"This is part of the 'shield' decision, His Majesty the Emperor has not yet made a decision, we still listen to the Emperor in the end."
"If his final decision is 'no,' the war will be the same as it was four years ago, and if the final decision is 'yes,' then war will be inevitable." ”
Although both of them were aware of his identity, he was still in the habit of calling Jelf 'His Majesty the Emperor' rather than 'Father', even in front of his own mother.
"Can't you stop fighting?"
Mebis took advantage of her status, and she pitied herself to her son, her eyes were red for a while, and a few crystal tears flowed in her eyes.
Ocast: "......"
What to do? I'm so panicked!
This is my mother's first request to me, and as a son, I must agree to it, right?!
But what should I do if my father's decision is to go to war? Who should I listen to?
For a while, this 80-year-old man began to sweat on his forehead and palms, and he was at a loss like an 8-year-old child.
"And ...... Let's discuss it with His Majesty the Emperor......"
Mebis immediately jumped down from his seat, leaned in front of Ogas, held his old face with soft hands, looked at each other, and said shyly: "In front of Mom, you can actually call him 'Daddy'......"
Ojiast suddenly felt as if his heart was being grasped by something, and his lips opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
Presitto: "......"
You're there, Mebis!
I didn't expect you to be so good at acting!
In fact, Mebis really doesn't have much acting ingredients, but adds a lot of his true feelings to it.
Although she had made a plan for 'mother's diplomacy' a long time ago, including provoking and responding to various topics, when it was time to use it, she did not act and deceive as planned.
After all, she still doesn't want to be too hypocritical to her children.
"But!"
Mebis suddenly changed his tone, and said angrily, "After getting along with his own child for decades without discovering his existence, can such a person still be regarded as a qualified 'father'?" ”
(Not counts!)
Preshito shouted inwardly, but did not dare to show it, otherwise the atmosphere would be interrupted. )
"Now Mom asks you, but who should you listen to when Mom and Dad have a disagreement in their decisions?"
"This ......," Okast hesitated.
Mebis's question will almost be equivalent to "if mom and dad fall into the water at the same time, which one do you want to save first", it is extremely dangerous, and if you don't answer it well, things will become very serious.
(Of course you should listen to your mother!)
What are you waiting for?!
Stinky boy!
Preshito roared in his heart, his face remained silent, and he took a sip of black tea to ease his emotions. )
"Even if you put aside your family status or something, killing people and saving people, destroying the world and saving the world, if you think about it a little, you know that you should choose to be on which side, right?"
"As a mother, I really don't want to see my children become the executioners of war!" ”
Ou Jiaste's heart was shocked, his face was moved, and he couldn't help but clench his fists: "Can ...... But...... My father needs me ......."
(He changed his words, which means that his heart is shaken and there is a chance!)
Preshito's eyes lit up, and his heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. )
Before he finished speaking, Mebis's body suddenly rushed forward, opened his arms, and then hugged Ogaste tightly, and said softly: "Mom needs you too!" ”
Mommy's Arms...... It's so warm......
Ogaste was immersed in the arms of Mebis and couldn't extricate himself.
Mebis had slender arms and a thin body, but Ogast felt that she was the most powerful person in the world, and she couldn't break free even if she tried her best.
"Because of the use of imperfect ultramagic, my body stopped developing a long time ago, so I never thought I could be a 'mother', so I didn't realize your existence until I died."
"Do you know how shocked I was when I learned of your existence from Presitto?"
"At that time, my brain seemed to stop thinking, and my first reaction was disbelief, because I didn't have you in my memory at all, and I couldn't even believe that I could be someone's 'mom' until I saw you."
"When I confirmed your existence, I only felt scared in my heart, because if either of me and Jelf had known of your existence in the first place, you probably wouldn't have been born into this world."
"I also feel guilty for you, we are a pair of failed parents, who have not fulfilled their responsibilities, so that you have been lacking the love from your parents that ordinary people have since you were a child."
】
"But Ogarst, I want to thank you even more!"
"You may not know, I was also an orphan since I was a child, and I created 'Fairy Tail' because of the desire to have a family, and the guild companions are indeed the same as each other, but you are not the same as them!"
"You are the only relative of mine in this world who is connected by blood!
”
Okast: "!
