Chapter 39: Family and Marriage
readx;? The reason why William said that Prince Otto was old was because he had the impression that only an old man would talk like this, and only an old man would show such a way in front of his children. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at the same time, since it is an old man, it is natural to attach great importance to and care about family, family, order and so-called rules, traditions and the like...... It's like now, poor old Otto.
Maybe in the eyes of others. Prince Otto is one of the most successful and probably happiest people in the world.
With the best family in the world, but also with the best sons in the world. Have enough money and enough life, be respected and hold a high position.
If a person can reach the height of Prince Otto, have such achievements, have such a family, and have such a life, then life can be said to have no regrets.
However, this is just what "the average person" thinks.
Not for Prince Otto.
Ever since he fell out with his wife, Madame Maria, there has been no such thing as fulfillment in his life. When you think about the rulers of the two most powerful and hostile countries in the world today, his two children, the feeling of depression, despair and even madness naturally comes to mind.
If His Royal Highness the Prince is a little worse, William probably thinks that he will get sick because of this kind of thing, and it is not impossible to even die.
Of course, before this, William took advantage of Prince Otto's antagonism - he did not want to lose to his wife. At the same time, knowing how terrible Lady Mary was, and how ruthless she was, he also did not expect her to do anything to his son, who was also the Emperor of the Empire and the only heir to the Hereford family.
If that's the case, then it doesn't make any sense for him to kill Lady Mary with a single sword.
Therefore, he was going out to assist William in the fight against Lady Mary and the Kingdom of Briton.
But, too, because of his affection, he had a feeling for Lady Maria, and for his daughter, though only by blood.
Although he knew that Madame Mary was not a good person, he deceived his feelings and deceived his body. However, he once had a pair of children and gave birth to a pair of children, if the two of them have no feelings, then William absolutely does not believe it.
"Maybe that's why my father cares so much about this alliance. William thought in his heart: "Even if it's not all because of this, there must be an impact." ”
Of course, William only thought about such things in his heart, and would not say it, let alone go to his father to verify it.
Prince Otto was very soft-hearted, so soft-hearted that he was not fit to be a ruler at all.
It's as if before, he was pushed forward by William, and after that, he would even be ready to become a monk or something because of the meeting with the former lord. You can see the character of Prince Otto.
In this case, even if he knows that his wife is not a good person, he will definitely help her.
Thinking so in his heart, William did not complain about his father. After all, my father is old. And as a child, you shouldn't think about what your father did wrong, but about what your father is good to you.
As for Lady Mary.
That woman, William never thought of her as his mother. There is no family affection at all, but if there is resentment, there are some. If it weren't for his father, then William wouldn't have to find a chance to calculate this bastard and avenge himself.
Of course, this is just a casual remark. That guy's strength makes William feel terrible, although now William's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it can even be said that it is a thousand miles a day. But even now, he still didn't dare to say that he had the strength to defeat that guy.
"Of course, as an emperor, if I want to return to Beijing, the other party doesn't have to use a knife or a gun to fight this guy. There are opportunities to do it. William thought so in his heart - of course, on the surface, William's father, Prince Otto, could not see anything. It was even said that although William had said that it was now somewhat perfunctory, Prince Otto still did not feel anything.
Or for him, at this age, having a son like William to chat with him is already a pretty good thing to celebrate.
However, there are some fly in the ointment in addition to this.
For example, if he could, he would have a grandson or something.
For the elderly, it is also a very important thing to be able to continue the bloodline of their family.
Of course, this is also true for William.
So after saying these reciprocal greetings and caring words, William began to discuss the matter with Prince Otto.
Although the Visigothic Republic now seems to be very powerful, it is important for the Britons to re-align themselves with the Empire. But for many people in the empire, these two things together are not as important as the thin blood of the royal family, and the royal blood may be severed. This bothered William.
Speaking of which, his vitality is very strong. I'm working hard when I'm banging, and so is my wife...... Of course, William had also thought about it before this, is there some physical illness - since the four women he has been snapping have not given birth to children, then most of the problem lies with himself?
But over the years, he has also sought out a lot of doctors, and the priest of the Lord of Radiance. As one of the most powerful emperors and rulers in the world, he had the best medical care he received. But even the best doctors and pastors don't know what's wrong with their bodies.
In other words, almost everyone thinks that William's health could not be better. His body, his life force is almost so strong that it surpasses the limits of human beings. Basically, there is nothing more than that.
Of course, there are also some people who have put forward such theories. Or it is precisely because of William's physical function and vitality that he is so strong that he almost surpasses the limits of human beings, so there is such a problem.
The more powerful the life force, the more powerful the person, or creature, the more difficult it is for their offspring. This is also one of the means of balancing the world, or nature.
Such theories and explanations reassured William a little. At least not because of his inability, which is embarrassing - but at the same time, William still feels very uncomfortable, uncomfortable, unpleasant and unwilling to come - because it is tantamount to not solving anything.
William even felt that it was better if something was wrong with his body.
If there is a problem with the body, then it is good to seek medical treatment for the physical problem. But there is no problem with this, it's just that it's just because it's strong, so you can't have children...... This, there's no way to solve it, bastard.
So, in this case, William thought of his father.
If anything, even if his father was not as powerful as he is now, most of them are about the same. But his father still gave birth to himself and his sister Victoria, who was in blood. It doesn't seem to be affected by this. Why is that? William thought it strange.
Therefore, in order to solve the confusion, of course, the more important thing is because of the problem of the inheritance of the empire and the family, so William asked Prince Otto directly this question, hoping that Prince Otto could give him enough help.
After this, Prince Otto was silent for a moment, and then nodded, with a look: "It looks like you should know something", which made William more curious, and even more dissatisfied.
However, after this, Prince Otto's words quickly dissipated William's dissatisfaction. Soon he was immersed in the story told by Prince Otto.
"You should know something, too. William, the blood of our Hereford family.
Are you a little curious about why in the days of the classical Gothic Empire, human power was so strong - I am talking about the power of individuals.
At that time, there weren't many people like our Hereford family who could cultivate to the level of a paladin. But there are at least a few hundred people in the whole world. It's not like now, the whole world, there is only one half-paladin left. ”
"Isn't it said that because of the improvement of human technology, there is not much use for cultivating martial arts, so personal strength has declined?" asked William a little curiously.
"It's useless?" Prince Otto chuckled and shook his head: "Possessing the strength of a knight-level fighting spirit is enough to become a strong man, and a big knight is enough to influence the direction of a skirmish. The Knight Mentor can even fill his body with fighting energy to resist the attack of gunpowder weapons. You call it useless?
And, William, my child, you seem to have forgotten one thing—that is, the development of human weapons technology is not synchronized with the decline of human individual strength. It is not that with the development of human weapons technology, the individual strength of human beings has declined.
The latter occurred much earlier than the former. ”
"Then, what is the reason?" William was a little surprised, and then asked, "Could it be that it is because of the changes in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and because the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is thin, so the current talents are unable to cultivate?"
“...... Who are you listening to, and what is the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi?" Hearing William's sudden fantasy setting, Old Otto looked at him a little surprised, and a little strange. Then asked.
"Ah, no, it's nothing, go on, father. William was a little embarrassed. I didn't expect that I was wrong, and the worldview and setting were different from what I thought......
