Killiman sat quietly in his office, and all the personnel of the Perfect City had been handed over to the Waiko, who had previously lived in Ultramarine's Ship Harbor to be taken to a new home.

On the wall opposite Killiman's desk, the two-headed eagle hanging high and glowing with an icy light scrutinized the primordial head-on.

He...... He wanted to see Luojia, an emotional, irrational need.

But Killeman slowly recalls the moment he gave the order, of the innocent mortals who had been taught them since birth, who did not know what they had done wrong—and now they were punished for the daily life of what they took for granted, and their homes were burning.

Killiman remembered the desperate and earnest screams of the Bearer in the previous communication.

He was one last step away from fratricidal cannibalism, but it was indirect, it was ordered...... It's not ......

He suddenly remembered Ruth, the executioner of the Empire, what was he thinking when the Wolf King raised his great axe?

It turned out that this was what Ruth had faced—no, he was a thousand times more painful than Killiman.

Gilliman may have understood the emperor, he understood what the empire did, he knew that sometimes there are always situations in a country that need to be corrected, and this is necessary and necessary, but from an emotional point of view...... No, he can't accept it.

Perhaps at some point in the City of Perfection, Killiman had given up the race for the position of commander, and he could no longer be as glorious as he had been when his armor was covered with the ashes of the City of Perfection, and he felt that he had done something wrong.

Killiman let his thoughts drift away, remembering that Macado looked at him with a worried expression as the Emperor left for the City of Perfection - was that his play, or was it the accidental expression of this scheming politician?

The old man sighed and spoke,

"You're always thinking too much, Killiman, you're too empathetic, too emotional — it's not a bad thing, but you need to refrain from it."

Killeman does not think that this assessment is objectively rational, emotional? No, emotion is the first factor that needs to be eliminated in decision-making.

And empathy, if a king can't really understand the joys and sorrows of his people, then he is not a qualified king.

Killiman remembered his adoptive father, King Connaught.

Maybe he's being serious, or maybe he's just not wanting to focus his thoughts on the City of Perfection, Killiman and Machado discussed, but neither of them convinces each other in the end.

……

"Killiman always prides himself on being sensible, and he rigorously admits data and cases to refute me, but in fact, he can't quantify his inner emotions, and Gilliman can never digitize his inner emotions – the methods he has always relied on to survive do not work on the soil of his heart."

Makado took a slow sip of tea, and Hades opposite him had no food, so he had to hold his cheeks and chat with the old man without saying a word.

Hades looked at Macado nonchalantly and spoke,

"Hmm...... I guess it's not going to be you talking to him about how to manage emotions, and then he's talking to you about data and reality. ”

Although he didn't want to admit Hades, Macado nodded heavily,

"He's idealistic, I think that's Gilliman's emotions, the influence of high empathy on him — but beyond that, the way he approaches the emotions in his heart is highly dependent on his old days...... Habits developed in Maculag. ”

Hardston paused,

"Machado, you're thinking very carefully, but I want to ask - will the Emperor really be aware of this? Or to put it another way, he would...... Will he take these comments into your persuasion of Killiman? ”

Makado shook his head heavily, and Hades immediately got his spirits up, and he slapped the armrest of the couch.

"You cheat people, old horse, then I won't let the finger bones point at the emperor, and he will go in vain."

Makado's face was gloomy,

"Hades, first of all, I don't call Lao Ma, and secondly, his persuasion is far more effective than all of us."

The old man looked helplessly at Hades with a strange look of disgust - as if realizing that he was still useful, and that the emperor and Machado were not serious people, Hades began to test their bottom line slowly, gradually.

But it worked, and Machado sadly found that he did lower Hades' bottom line.

"I don't believe it, Machado."

Macado was silent, he sorted out his words, and spoke again,

"He is not ignorant, on the contrary, he has more than we have seen, Hades, words are not necessarily reliable, momentary performance is not necessarily reliable, too many betrayals have occurred after the oath of the mountains and seas, people are not always the same, if they change, then no amount of words before is just empty talk."

Hades looked thoughtful, and Makado wished he had listened, rather than thinking about letting the servant come in with a few more treats of snacks - God knows why he would one day foolishly put both options together at the same time!

Makado took another sip of tea and continued to speak,

"When we look at someone, we look at their expressions, their posture, their speech. And he is observing the person's past, the projection in the subspace, the possible future, and what he can do to make the waves of the subspace go in the direction he wants. ”

"So,"

Makado paused,

"He's not what you think, Hades, don't look at him from the perspective of ordinary people, his wisdom is far superior to others."

Hades' glazed eyes rolled, then refocused on Machado,

"Well, from the perspective of ordinary people, what will the emperor say to Killiman?"

Macado froze, and finally, the old man said slowly,

"I can't guess the mind of my lord...... But I think he'll ...... Killiman was commanded to remain strong and loyal. ”

Hades across from him once again had a finished expression.

……

"You're doing the right thing, my child, and there's no need to question your heart."

The Emperor sat casually in the side chair next to Killiman's desk, and although it was not in the middle of the room, the Emperor's arrival made the single armchair clearly the main seat of the room.

The Emperor's sudden arrival caught Gilliman by surprise, his biological father was always mysterious and unapproachable, and he would always leave after leaving orders, as if something more important awaited him - even though it was.

…… And...... A small corner of Killiman's heart whispered, compared to the Shadow Moon Wolf, compared to the Emperor's Son, compared to the Imperial Fist, the Emperor's mind was obviously not much on the thirteenth heir.

Although Killiman is also enjoying himself in his own 500 realms, Killiman has devoted his mind to the extreme realms, he is not one of those primordials who likes to ask for merit in front of the emperor, for Killiman, perhaps a flourishing 500 worlds is his best treasure.

Killeman was silent, carefully picking his words, even if he would offend,

[My lord, with all due respect, but if I may, I would like to be allowed to know the mistakes of Luojia and the Speaker, or the words you spoke to Luojia in the City of Perfection, even if amnestics are required afterwards. 】

He needs to know why, and he needs to know what kind of fault can be done to atone the sin of destroying a civilization.

The Emperor looked at him, his brow furrowed slightly, and Killiman chuckled in his heart, and just before he could open his mouth to make amends for his words, the Emperor spoke,

"I didn't think you had a good relationship with Luojia, Killiman."

The unexpected answer hit a certain self-reproach in the depths of Killiman's soul,

[I...... It is true that it is impossible to identify with his religion, religion represents ignorance, people do not choose to stand, but rely on some kind of illusory existence for their existence, if a civilization needs to progress, then it first needs to get rid of the idea of relying on other things......]

【…… But I think Luojia just mistakenly made you his idol and deified you to some degree, and the planet he landed on restricted his mind and made him mistake the worship of you for religion, and yours ...... The way he handled it caused him to misunderstand. 】

[Although I have a bad relationship with him, I stand from my personal point of view, from the perspective of being your heir and each other's siblings...... I still feel ...... about what he went through. A certain sadness. 】

Killiman took a deep breath, and he suddenly realized that he had spoken it all, his real father, the Emperor, he always had a kind of magic, he was silent, always standing straight, always right, in front of such a being, Killyman always felt that he was still a child, a child who had made a mistake, standing in the corner in a panic.

The emperor looked at him with peace in his eyes,

"I'm glad you are still worried about your brother, Killiman, even if you don't have a political discord."

Then the emperor fell silent, and a suffocating silence reigned over the room.

The Emperor sighed softly, which was especially evident in the quiet room.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Killeman could clearly see the exhaustion in his eyes,

"I didn't want to discuss this with you, but Killiman, you've shown me your brilliance."

"As a warning, the perfect city must be burned."

The emperor said lightly,

"The Bearer's faith is poisoned, it is corrupting Luojia and his offspring, and I need to save him."

Killiman stagnated...... After a while, he spoke cautiously again,

What do you mean...... Some of the speakers did not believe in the creation of Luojia...... But...... Some other ......]

"A more blasphemous existence."

The Emperor casually took Gilliman's words,

"Killiman, you may know that before Luojia launched the Unification War on his home planet, the beliefs on that planet were cults and witchcraft."

"Relying on his consciousness as an original body, Luojia avoided the fate of being eroded by the cult on the home planet, and successfully overthrew the cult on the planet and established a self-centered religion, even if I didn't want to see it."

The Emperor was silent, and he looked at Killiman, which was enough for Killiman to piece together a truth.

Killiman was thinking wildly in his head, what was more difficult for him to accept than the Whisperer's establishment of a religion was that the center of that religion was some kind of evil existence, and if they believed in the Emperor, then Killiman could understand, but they didn't even believe-

No, it is difficult to believe in the emperor...... Killiman just felt that both sides were enough to make him sick, and it was hard to accept!

[Father, how is Luojia and his legion now? 】

Killeman spoke first, and for a moment he realized that he was being disrespectful, but the Emperor didn't seem to care about the change in his address to him, or rather, Killiman was allowed to address the Emperor as his father.

The Emperor shook his head slightly, but he still looked at Gilliman calmly and confidently,

"It's not good, I pointed out and punished him for his fault."

Killiman couldn't imagine if he had seen the ruins of Maculag and that everything had been judged wrong before him......

He couldn't imagine Luojia's current state, it was too cruel, too ...... It's not close anymore.

Killiman looked back at the Emperor.

【…… On my personal side, as Luojia's brother, I am worried about him, will he and his legion be able to get back on their feet after this setback? 】

To Kiliman's surprise, the emperor stood up and prepared to leave, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth,

"He will, he's my heir, Gilliman."

The Emperor paused,

"But he's really not up to your heights yet, and he needs some encouragement and support—"

"So I've given him permission for the time being."

The figure of the emperor disappeared behind the door, and his last words still echoed in Gilliman's ears,

"Robert Killiman, I'm glad to see your realization, that civilization needs to progress, and that I've dedicated my life to it."

Killiman jerked to his feet after a moment, the contents of his desk shaking as he got up.

He looked at the door, and the figure of the emperor seemed to be still there, his brain was dizzy and cloudy—his opinion was affirmed by the emperor, this is ...... It's unimaginable.

The Emperor did not even stay in Killiman's office for half an hour.

Killiman would never have imagined, nor would he ever know, that the emperor who uttered words that made his heart feel thrilled had come to him because of a thousand failures.

Hades in the reception room sneezed violently, he rubbed his nose and looked at Machado with a look of disgust on his face,

"Someone is definitely cursing me, Machado, I bet it's Neos, he must have finished talking to Killiman, but the conversation failed."

"No, Hades, I never fail."

The emperor suddenly appeared behind Hades, still confident, still smiling confidently,

Frightened by the sudden appearance of the emperor, the tea in Hades's hand almost spilled, he quickly took his tea and retorted,

"Who failed just now, Neos?"

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth did not move down in the slightest, and he naturally sat back in his previous position,

"That's my plan, Hades."

Hades let out a loud exclamation,

"So,"

Hades said loudly,

"I suppose your conversation with Killiman must have gone well, right, Neos?"

"Nature."

The emperor took a slow sip of tea, indifferent to Hades' provocation,

"Because I'm the emperor."

4k！ None today! Anyway, the double watch used to be 4k!

I'm taking a day off tomorrow, I'm going to catch the train.

Remember to remember the owe more, 11 more.
