Chapter 12: The Edwards' Interlude

"Back then......" Christina tilted her head slightly, thinking back to the past, "I almost thought I had gone to another world." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Edward.

"You and Tsukasa have completely different personalities than I previously knew. In my mind, Si should be a decisive tyrant, and you are an indecisive ......"

"Philistine, right?" replied Edward.

"Yes, that's it. Christina nodded.

"Christine, where did you hear all this nonsense?" Edward shook his head, "the person who sold you this kind of information can die." If he dares to come out and mix with such a poor level, he is bold. ”

"No, I didn't buy any information from the intelligence peddlers. Christina sighed.

"Well, I knew you'd say that, but don't you really want to tell me what you're keeping? Edward also picked up his cup and took a sip of Christina's own tea.

Unconsciously, he has been subtly influenced by the girl in front of him.

"You won't believe me when I say it, let alone if I sue you...... Your whole life is over. Christina shook her head, "I'm doing this for your own good." ”

"Is it something to do with prophecy? Do you think I look like someone who would be struck down with a word or two of nonsense?" said Edward, with a look of disdain.

"It seems that the proverb of Seris is really good, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. Christina laughed, "You're still so arrogant in your bones. ”

"As a king, this is a necessary temperament, whether it is right or wrong, you must have your own judgment. Otherwise, all the ministers below will insist on their own words and make a lot of noise. How do you rule a country as a ruler?" Edward shook his head.

"Well, you're right. Christina let out another long sigh, "Are you sure you're going to listen?"

"Of course, I've made up my mind. Edward's chin was raised.

"Then I'll tell you, you have to be mentally prepared. Christina stared into Edward's eyes for a long time before she uttered word by word. "I'm coming back from the future. ”

Edward's hand shook, and the tea in the cup spilled halfway: "What do you mean...... Travel through time?"

"That's right. Christina nodded, "I'm from four hundred years later, and everything you've experienced in the past few years belongs to the past in my eyes." ”

"No wonder, no wonder!" said Edward, repeating the phrase twice, smiling wryly, "I didn't expect it to be like this." Kristen You ...... You're a descendant of the Auvergne, right?"

"That's right. Christina took a sip of tea. "I'm a descendant of Theresa and Tsukasa. ”

"Alas, I thought their family's magic inheritance was broken, but I didn't expect it...... I used to think you were a side of the Auvergne family and came back to take power. After a brief moment of consternation, Edward returned to normal.

"Joke, the Auvergne family has been passed down for so many generations, when has there ever been a collateral lineage?" Christina snorted, "It's fair to say that the Auvergne family has a low fertility defect in their genes. ”

"Okay. Not to discuss this now. Edward waved his hand, "So." What is your purpose?Kill Henry, and then put his illegitimate daughter on the throne?...... Kill me again?, do you want to change your fate and make your family the king of Cape?" Edward's eyes became extremely sharp.

"Is there no problem with me in person?"

"Anyway, everyone knows that it's all ...... A relationship that uses each other. Edward hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I need you to level Capet for me." And you need my power to accomplish your purpose. ”

Christina's face showed obvious disappointment: "It seems that you have forgotten what I said to you." ”

"You've said so much to me. ”

"I mean, I'll help you capture Capet. ”

"......," Edward was silent, "isn't that a lie?"

"That's not a lie, it's true. My purpose is to prevent the two men who were destined to become Capet's rulers from ascending to the throne that rightfully belongs to them. Christina smiled wryly. "How can trust between people be so fragile? ”

"But I can't imagine why you'd prevent your own family from ascending to the throne?" Edward leaned back in his chair, his face facing the ceiling.

"Because that position only brings me pain, you know?" Christina shook her head, "My family died because of that seat, and I was the only one who survived. ”

"A palace coup?"

"No, it's a popular revolution. Christina smiled wryly, "The people of the whole country have risen up." They wanted to turn the kingdom into a republic, and the king had long been synonymous with sin, and they thought that it would be better without a king. ”

"Is there no way to save it?"

"That is the inevitability of history, Edward, no matter which family or figure sits on the throne, it cannot avoid that day coming. The entire human society is not standing still, but developing. The most noticeable change is that 400 years later, almost everyone from my time is literate. ”

"Perhaps, I can give you a good explanation of the future history. Christina said.

......

After listening to Christina's words, Edward was silent, he didn't know what to say, there was too much information, he had to think about it and organize his thoughts.

He couldn't believe that his fate had been decided by God, and what awaited him could only be a gloomy end, instead of becoming the king of Cape.

Christina didn't bother Edward's thoughts, but continued to drink tea.

A moment later, a guard came in and whispered a few words in Edward's ear.

Repulsing the guards, Edward looked at Christina again, "Christine, are you saying that whoever is born in the royal family will encounter this kind of thing?"

"Compared to Seris in the East, the intrigues, power struggles, cannibalism and so on here are already pediatrics. Christina put down her teacup and said calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Edward looked at Christina coldly.

"Hah, I don't think you're the kind of person who cares about your psychotic father, do you?" Christina shrugged, "You don't have to pretend in front of me, you wish that brain-dead brother of yours had killed his father and found a reason to kill him." (To be continued......)
