Chapter 463: Reluctance

Everyone was stunned - except perhaps Liele, who always looked unfazed. Siegel might have been left out as well, having been too focused on watching Liele's movements to guard against the Great Prophet's possible reaction, so he didn't listen carefully to Aaron's words.

"I'm going to die. Aaron said, "Although there is always a death, I will reach the end faster than you, and ironically, this is the only area where I can move faster than you." I've been preparing to be king all my life, and then I've become king, so what's not to be satisfied with? And according to any law or doctrine in the world, as my brother, Evan you should have more power to be a king than I am. ”

"I'm just a swordsman. Evan said.

"Now you're not just a swordsman. Aaron shook his head. "I give you the throne – or give it back to you, these are the details of the wording – naturally conditional. If you can say yes, we'll continue talking. ”

Evan closed his eyes and thought, "Say it." ”

"After the father, I am the king, and then you are the king. In all circumstances, I am the king before you. I don't want to be slandered by names like usurper, false king, etc., I was born the eldest son of my father, and although I was not when I died, I will not allow me to be splashed with dirty water and insulted. ”

"No one can insult you. My sword will guarantee this. Evan said categorically.

"I've never been officially married, but I have a lot of women in a daze. "I was always drunk, everything was vague and hazy, so I couldn't remember who it was. But Salk happened to be here. You can ask him then. I don't think there's anything left in my body. But no one can say for sure. Jurisprudence. If there is a child, it is still an illegitimate child because his mother is not officially engaged to me. You also know the faces of those friends around you, so I hope you can treat these bastards well, so that they are safe and not taken advantage of. ”

"If anything, I'll send them to Heim. It's a quiet place away from the Kingdom of Stars. ”

Aaron glanced at Siegel. Then nodded in agreement.

Okay, in addition to Evan's illegitimate sons, there may soon be a group of Aaron's illegitimate children. Siegel wanted to laugh and cry, but he couldn't make any expressions out of the pain. Now the city of Mir can open a school to teach the bastards of the royal family. If this reputation spreads, the little tails of those princes and ministers who are after the romance outside will be sent to Heim one after another. Maybe it won't be long before the new noble lineage of the Star Kingdom can be put together.

"There is one more condition, if you can't do it, I'd rather die than give up the throne. Aaron sat up straight. He gasped for a few moments, then said, "The dwarf has failed. So they convened this meeting. But the Kingdom of Stars cannot be defeated, never will! In my case, if the kingdom is always safe, it can hold on, but as long as there is a little bit of peace, it will not be competent. I know very well that as long as you raise the banner and officially raise the army, I will collapse, and I will die in less than three months, and you will not need to win on the battlefield at all. How can such a body guarantee that the Kingdom of Stars is invincible?"

"Therefore I never raised the flag, nor did I allow anyone to move my troops. Evan's voice was steady, as she had told her brother the legend of the swordsman when she was a child: "I fantasized about how nice it would be if I could do it as I did when I was a child." If we have any disputes, pick up the wooden sword and have a ping-pong game to decide the winner. Or in a simpler and fairer way, take a gold coin and throw it into the sky, the stars are above you win, and the sun is above me to win. ”

"Haha, that's what I thought too. Aaron looked very happy, clapping his hands vigorously, but not loudly. "Growing up, what I wanted, whether you wanted it or not, would be mine in the end. Because my surname is Stars, and your surname is Jin Kui. Now that you're a star, what you want should be yours, just like when I was a kid!"

"Are you not going to check the authenticity of that edict?" Evan pulled out of his bosom and pulled out a roll of paper. "I've always carried it with me. ”

"Do you know what it is good to be king? That's what I say, what I say!" Aaron looked at Evan with more determination than ever before.

Evan immediately tore the paper off his hand. "If you had this kind of momentum, how could your swordsmanship be worse than mine?"

"Your swordsmanship is good just because you don't read much!" Aaron said with a smile. Then he started coughing again, but this time he stopped himself. "This time I had other plans as well. For example, if I raise my finger, the card **** will stab you with a sword from the back, and a sword can kill you. I also prepared a super sweet juice with poison added to it. The Royal Navy will also surround you when you get aboard, but they won't come on board to attack without my orders. I thought you would come, but I didn't expect you to come alone, and I disarmed you at the door. You trust me, and you treat me as your brother, so you're still my brother. And the elder brother is the king. ”

"Not all disarmed, I still have a dagger. Evan took out an obsidian dagger from his back and put it in his palm: "It's not metal, it's made of stone, so Ka**** can't see it." ”

The corners of Riele's eyes twitched, and then Siegel was clearly watching him.

"A good dagger, a good king should have a good dagger. Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the head of the palm print, "Help me write my will." ”

Salk spread out a piece of paper and picked up a quill: "Your Majesty, please instruct." ”

"Oh shit, do you want me to elaborate? Simple, put my name on it, write the title in full, and say I'm going to give up the throne and the inheritance thereafter, Evan Kinsui. All lords and royal knights in the realm should immediately pledge their allegiance to the new king, otherwise it will be treason, and then write something else. Stupid, write whatever you have to write, it's all verbosity anyway. I'll sign it after I'm done, and you can bring the seal again. ”

The quill pen writes slowly on the paper, the handwriting is clear and beautiful, and everyone is staring with bated breath. This historic moment awaits us.

Riele stepped forward. Siegel shook his shoulders as well. I was ready to cast a spell, and for a moment the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. The Great Prophet smiled slightly and said to Aaron, "Your Majesty, the school city respects your choice, but the new king ascends the throne and needs to be blessed by the Temple of Dawn. It is believed that if the opinion of the High Priest Aurora was also written in the edict, it would be more convincing and would reduce the turmoil in the kingdom. ”

Aaron nodded. Looking at Pastor Dawn, "Is the temple willing to endorse this change of throne?"

The High Priest nodded, but Siegel frowned. All the gods cannot interfere with the actions of the dice holders, so their prayers are never answered by the gods. In this case, can Pastor Dawn summon the blessings of the gods?Siegel looked at Leel's expression, and then suddenly realized: it turned out that the Great Prophet had known all this for a long time, so it was very likely that the magic circles in the secret room where the hundred-faced dice were stored were arranged by him. This also confirms the words of the green dragon Alenoz Eagles, Liele is the physical mortal child of the god of magic, and his purpose is to study these dice.

Siegel wasn't free to worry about the safety of the twenty-sided dice. He is still trying to find a way to resolve the crisis in front of him. I don't know why Riele didn't want Evan to sit on the throne, could it be contrary to his original purpose of studying the secrets of the dice? What is the relationship between fate and blood?

Aaron nodded and gestured to the chief of the guard. The King's guards thumped their chests with their right fists, and the anti-magic field vanished. Siegel took out a bottle of healing potion and poured it down to ease his injuries. The High Priest of Aurora held up the emblem and prayed aloud to the Lord of the Dawn.

He prayed over and over again, but the frown furrowed and the corners of Leel's mouth curled up. Evan kept his head down and kept looking at Aaron. He couldn't tell from his brother's face whether he was looking forward to it or disappointed, only a calm and calm.

The High Priest lowered his arm, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, the Lord of the Dawn has not decreed it now, and I suggest asking other priests to try it out to make sure I don't get the Lord wrong." ”

Liel bent down and said in a clear but muffled voice, "The Lord of Dawn has not blessed Evan, and I am afraid that the gods are worried that this move will cause turmoil in the kingdom and ruin the lives of the people. His Majesty ...... King"

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's a bit inappropriate for the archmage of the school city to interpret the meaning of the temple?" Siegel said loudly, "The handover of the throne of the Star Kingdom is an internal affair of the royal family, and the only thing that can be done as a courtier is obedience and loyalty. You have shown a magnanimity and magnanimity that you have never seen in history today, an act that would be rare even for a god like the Lord of the Dawn. Such an act is already a great act of kindness compared to the sword and soldier meeting or the division of the kingdom. The opinion of the temple is important, but before the Temple of Dawn, didn't the throne of the stars change?"

Aaron is familiar with history, and Evan is obsessed with swordsmanship, but he is no stranger to some common sense. Before the Temple of Dawn, it had always been the Mage Guild to assist the Star Royalty, and at that time, the crown was worn by the chief archmage on the king's head. Later, the mage lord rebelled, which led to the breakdown of the relationship between the association and the royal family, which led to the rise of the Temple of Dawn and the establishment of the school city. Siegel alluded to this as a mage lord, dragging the mage of the school city Liel into the mire. Now the two mages are not able to speak anymore, so they can only look at the rest of the people.

Salk, the head of the palm prints, finished writing his will and handed it to Aaron with both hands. The king, who was on the sickbed, looked at it carefully, then asked for a quill, and signed his name on it. "Let's use the seal. He said to Salk, then turned to look at the chief of the guard, Ka****, "Bring me my crown." ”

The crown is made of white gold and is embellished with diamonds that can be used for resurrection, obsidian to defend against magic, opal to defend against necromancy, opal to defend against psychic spells, turquoise to defend against toxins, and adama to summon talisman puppets. Mithril is wound around it to form a starry pattern, while pure gold is used to represent the starry's shining light.

Aaron took the crown and put it on his head with trembling arms. "Look, brother, this thing is so heavy, I can't even lift it. Then he took off the crown and handed it out: "Take it, I can't take it anymore." ”

Evan didn't say anything, pursed his lips and stepped forward to take the crown. Instead of looking at the metal and gems in his hands, his eyes were fixed on his brother. It's like when he was a kid watching his younger brother sleep soundly in his swaddling clothes.

The Temple of Dawn couldn't heal Aaron's body, and now that it couldn't be blessed, Evan had long lost his affection for them. When he was in the Black Blood Castle, as an illegitimate swordsman, he could express his opinions at will, but now that he wants to become a king, he can't do as he pleases. The power of the Dawn Temple is still very important at the moment, especially the current anomaly of the Mage Association and the Academy, which has to worry Evan. Evan's prayers to all the gods, including the Lord of the Dawn, were never answered, and Siegel said it was because of the dice.

To be a good king is to give up something. For the sake of the Kingdom of Stars, Aaron even gave up the crown, and he still had to continue to guard all the benefits? When Evan decided to leave Heim and return to the Kingdom of Stars, he gave up his dream of being an adventurer swordsman and gave up his unfettered freedom. Now, in order to be able to make the Kingdom of Stars less turbulent, in order to be able to make Aaron's wish come true......

"I can't live up to your kindness, Aaron. Evan reached out and tugged at his neck, ripped off the chain, and then tossed the thing in his hand to Siegel: "Take it." ”

Riel raised a hand at this moment, but Siegel moved faster and took the hundred-faced dice into his hand.

Evan faced High Priest Aurora, and then said, "You try to communicate with the Lord of the Dawn again, I don't want this matter to go any further." ”

Aurora hesitated a little, but he did as he was told, holding aloft the emblem. This time, a bright light pierced through the layers of rock, and no dwarven rune could stop it. It shone on Aaron, making his face rosy and much better, and then moving away until it completely enveloped Evan. The High Priest excitedly announced: "The Lord of Dawn has issued a clear decree that the Temple of Dawn will fully support the good deeds of King Aaron and Evan, and will wholeheartedly assist the new king in his rule!

Salk brought the seal and stamped it at Aaron's signal. "Alright, tell the world, and then you will be to Evan. Whew, I can finally get a good night's sleep. ”

The crown floated and fell on Evan's head in the light, but the new king's eyes didn't take a second off Aaron's. Everyone got down on one knee and bowed their allegiance to Evan.

"Let's all leave, and let me be alone with my brother for a while. "Evan gave his first order as king. (To be continued.) )
