Half-Blood Monarch (2-in-1)
Caesar Gattuso leans against a marble pillar and sipps a glass of water leisurely. Patsy came out and saw him, bowing to him, "Master Caesar." ”
Caesar didn't even look at him and walked straight into Frost's office.
"Caesar, today you have disgraced the family in the school board." Frost took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.
The "Nebelrogan Project" is a super plan developed by the Secret Party to create the legendary "Half-Blood Monarch".
After the killing of Konstantin, Concubine Lu Mingfei has been the first candidate. It's just that the photos that came out of the Bronze Project made the school directors doubt the lineage of Concubine Lu Ming, and this was Caesar's best chance to ascend to the throne.
While Concubine Lu Ming was still in the hospital, the family would withdraw today. Gattuso introduces everyone to the belief that Caesar will recognize Caesar's existence and agree that Caesar will become the pillar of the "Nebelogan Plan", but his willfulness ruins the family's plans.
The family originally planned to take the opportunity to win the "Nibelungen Plan" for Caesar, and then control Concubine Lu Ming in the family at the subsequent hearing on the grounds of observing whether the bloodline is safe, but all arrangements were broken by Caesar.
"Uncle, you know what? I've been putting up with it, I've been holding back not to speak, I've been thinking about what the expression on your face will be when I say the three words "I refuse", and I'm about to laugh. ”
Caesar turned his head and glanced at Frost with a smile on his face, "What I need, I'll fight for it myself, not someone who sends it to me and asks me to bend down and pick it up." ”
"You'd better give up the place in the Nibelungen Project to my classmate and my comrade-in-arms, Concubine Luming, or I'll change my surname to Gulweg tomorrow."
"You are the rarest genius in the family for hundreds of years, your bloodline, your talent, all first-class. You also aspire to be a leader, and you've been working hard. ”
Frost paced forward, standing side by side with Caesar, and sighed faintly, "What makes you have such a mean side in your heart?" The family loves you and wants to help you, and we think you can be the leader of a new generation of hybrids. ”
"Concubine Lu Ming and Chu Zihang may obstruct your path, which the family does not want to see. You are undoubtedly the best, no one should be rated above you, the family uses its influence to promote the 'Nylungen Project' to ensure that you get the best possible training, why don't you accept it?" ”
"My pedigree? No, no, uncle, you probably forgot something, Gattuso's noble bloodline, I only inherited half of it, and half of the bloodline came from a lowly surname, that lowly ......."
Caesar paused, the smile on his face disappeared, and he spat out the words like thunder, "Gulveig!" ”
"Still immersed in your mother's death?" Frost shook his head, "It seems that there is a deep misunderstanding between us, and your mother's bloodline is indeed not noble to the family. Her marriage to your father was also not blessed by the family. ”
"But the bloodline she left you is not at all lowly, on the contrary, you are recognized by the whole family as the best descendant. Your talent has proven it. ”
"A woman of humble origin, married to a husband of noble blood, gave birth to a child, and then she died, and her husband's family despised her bloodline, but approved of the child mixed with her blood."
Caesar shrugged, "It's like no one likes pigs because they're dirty, but when they die, people choose the most tender pork chops and cut them up for the best chefs to fry them." Served with matsutake mushrooms and morels, served in a spotless porcelain plate and served on a silver tray. ”
"Caesar, believe in the family, your mother's death has nothing to do with the family, her funeral was arranged in Westminster Abbey, presided over by the bishop himself, a choir of five hundred people, thousands of people came to watch the ceremony, and the white roses were piled up as high as a hill. Her soul has rested, and everything about her has ended. Are you still obsessed with her death and denying her identity as a member of the Gattuso family? ”
"Of the dragon-blooded family, who among us would care about a religiously administered funeral? Are you kidding me? Caesar sneered.
"This is mourning, such a high-profile funeral, everyone knows that she is the mistress of the Gattuso family, and the family gave her glory in return for her contribution to the family." Frost said affectionately.
"Caesar, you are her contribution to the family, think about it, that woman, the only thing she has left behind in her life is you, if she really has a spirit, doesn't she want you to achieve success that shocks the world? The Nibelungen Project is a great gift that will break your mother's heart if you refuse. ”
"Uncle, don't be kidding." Caesar smiled, lowered his head and scratched the corners of his forehead, he suddenly raised his head, his expression changed completely, few people had seen his face, the smile was thin and cold, and the pupils seemed to be frozen.
"When she died, she couldn't see or hear," Caesar held up his hand slightly, "I could only hold her hand and tell her I was by her side." ”
Caesar's slender hand slowly curled up, clenching into fists, and the joints made a slight pop.
"I didn't dare let go of her hand, because I thought it was terrible, you couldn't see it, you couldn't hear it, and if no one held your hand, you would feel like you were the only one in the world, and you were the only one in the dark. She didn't know that at that time, the only connection between the world and her was the temperature that passed from the palm of my hand. ”
"And what was my generous and powerful family doing then? Where is my father, who is a business leader? Where are you again as the uncle of the head of the family? ”
"What do you expect us to do with someone whose doctor has declared dead, Caesar?" Frost spread his hands.
"For the result you've been waiting for for a long time, you're naturally happy to watch it happen."
Kai looked into the distance, dark clouds rolling and gathering in the sky, heavy as lead.
"It's really willful, do you think in your heart that your mother's death was caused by the family?" Frost shook his head, "Why would the family hurt a noble woman who married into the Gattuso family?" ”
"Forget it, uncle, don't try to convince me, you watched me grow up since I was a child, you know very well what kind of person I am, and the things I believe will not be easily changed."
Frost sighed faintly: "Caesar, the family chose you because of your self-confidence. But you have to understand that self-confidence is not everything to success. The black king or the white king has disappeared from history, and after the humans kill all the dragon kings, the era of the dragon race is completely over. ”
"At that time, the half-breeds will become the best race in the world, we are far better than ordinary people, and we have mastered speech and alchemy, and we have also mastered science, and our enemies are dead, and the pattern of the world will be rewritten, just like the Age of Discovery, just like the Industrial Revolution, history will usher in a change, that is the era of half-bloods!"
"And you, be the leader among them!"
"It's not easy, Concubine Lu Ming or even Chu Zihang may have the strength to compete with you, but the strength of the family will help you, and you will become a ...... Emperor! ”
Frost's voice was low and hoarse, but there was a faint temptation, as if the serpent of the Garden of Eden said to Adam and Eve—"Eat the fruit of that tree, and you will be like God." ”
Caesar looked down at the glass in his hand and was silent for a long time.
"Caesar, think again, as long as you agree, the family will hold the next school board meeting and put the Nibelungen project back on the agenda. This plan will produce leaders who will end the dragons. After that, he will be the leader of the whole world. This is an opportunity that many people dream of. Now that the family is in front of you, please accept it. "Frost followed the temptation,
"You see, the school board is not in the hands of the family, and in order to fight the soon-to-be-awakened dragon kings, the Nibelungen Project will be activated sooner or later. If the candidate is not you, then it will be Concubine Lu Ming, or even Chu Zihang, once they become candidates, you will fall behind in the competition with them. Opportunities will not wait for a person for a long time. ”
"Like this cup?" Caesar held up the glass in his hand.
"Cups?" Frost frowned.
"Uncle, what kind of family are you talking about?" Caesar looked at Frost, rarely serious.
"The family, the group that is united by blood, is made up of people who have the blood of the Gattuso family, and all of us together are the Gattuso family, and when we disperse, the family disappears. The family loves each member and expects each member to reciprocate it with equal love. ”
"But in my eyes, the family is just something that some people have imagined. In its name, to establish its own power, what flows in the veins of the family is the desire for power. If I accept the gift of the family, I will be like this cup,"
Caesar shook the glass, in which the clear water swayed.
"What is in the cup is the desire for power. The family has given me its power and let me hold it. But one day......"
Caesar tilted his head and drank the water from his glass.
"When the water in the cup is gone, the cup loses its meaning, and then the cup is abandoned."
He threw the glass on the ground, and there was a loud "bang", and the pink and white glass shards splashed everywhere.
"Caesar, you're thinking too much." After a moment of silence, Frost sighed.
"Isn't that so?" Kai Shu sneered, "I will take the power of the family instead?" You just need a puppet, just like you need my mother, you need her bloodline and fertility ability, in your eyes she is just a womb suitable for giving birth to quality offspring! ”
"When this womb gives birth to a child, it's like a cup emptying the water inside, it has no meaning anymore, and it can be thrown out and broken at any time."
"The family loves every child of it!" Frost's expression was grim.
"The family is just every child who uses it!" Caesar replied with the same coldness.
After a long silence, Frost let out a long sigh.
"It only takes a moment to build a hatred, but it takes a long time to build a love. Caesar, you are still too young, and one day, you will understand the so-called "family love". I have come this time to bring a letter from your father. I would have liked to have given it to you when I was celebrating the Nibelungen project. ”
Frost pulled out the envelope from his bosom, and the seal was stamped with Gattuso's family coat of arms in red flame.
"For the person you like, the family and your father know, but unfortunately, she, like your mother Gulveig, does not meet the requirements of the family. It stands to reason that bloodline is the absolute criterion for the family to choose a bride, so the family chooses a new bride for you. ”
Frost paused, "The family will help you and Concubine Lu Ming get together, and your marriage contract will be blessed by the family." ”
Caesar lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and turned his head to look at Frost.
"A person whose rating should not be above me, an opponent who will stand in my way, a person who has been temporarily excluded from the candidate because of doubtful bloodlines, but the bride chosen for me by the family?"
"You think this is a good enough offer to show your generosity, don't you?"
"But I'm getting impatient, with your offer and your family," Caesar bit the tip of his tongue and spewed out a fierce word with the force of a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Get out!" ”
Frost watched silently as Caesar stepped on the shards of glass as he walked to the end of the Arcundrum, until the sound of calm footsteps came from behind him.
"Ange?" Frost turned his head.
"It seems that your conversation with Caesar was not going very well." Principal Angers raised an eyebrow.
"Young people always like to be rebellious. But they will grow up and understand the truth. Frost said lightly.
"It's better to leave matters between young people to their own devices." Ange said lightly, "The hearing against Concubine Lu Ming has not started yet, and you are talking to Caesar about these things, and you are not worried that he will go against you at the hearing?" What are you...... Running out of donkey skills? ”
"I must remind you that in order to meet the awakening of the Dragon Kings, we must train a new generation of leaders. It was only a matter of time before the Nibelungen Project began, and although Caesar was listed as the first candidate at the suggestion of the Gattuso family, the Academy would not wait for him if he insisted on refusing. The candidates who can compete with him are Concubine Lu Ming and Chu Zihang. ”
Frost's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Caesar will definitely agree!"
