That's it, King Otto said what he wanted to say for the time being, and then looked at William expectantly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info glanced at King Otto, and other important members of the Hereford family also looked at him. It's just that the expression is not the same as that of King Otto. It's worry, even fear.

If William agrees, then what will become of the Hereford family.

What happens if you don't say yes...... In any case, the outcome of this conversation will completely change the political dynamics of the Hereford family.

“......”

For a moment, William didn't know how to answer—yes, after hearing this suddenly, he immediately wanted to roar, reprimand, and shouted loudly at the bastard who said it: "Don't be kidding, bastard! Why don't you keep going?! The Hereford family obviously has the ability and potential to rule the whole world. Why stop for a little bit of ethereal so-called fear?! This is such a bastard, and it is incredible!"

If he could, William really wanted to shout at King Otto: "Coward, bastard! you are not worthy of being a man of the Hereford family!"

Of course, it stands to reason that William couldn't do that. For standing before him was his father, and the head of his house, and his lord. No matter what his identity is, King Otto must not criticize this man, even if what he says makes William mad with anger.

"We can be strong. Why should we continue like this?" William said to his father, holding back his anger, "and, ah, father, do you think that at this point we can still stand back?! Behind us are tens of millions of men under the rule of the Hereford family, our army, our subjects. Everyone is watching us, Father, do you want to live up to their expectations of us?!"

"But, I ......"

"Now, no, it should be said that at the beginning of the empire, the empire has been in a state of division and chaos. After the destruction of the classical Gothic Empire, the people of the empire were in the midst of wars and disasters - father, do you think I am doing all this for myself, or only for the Hereford family?!

"......" Although King Otto did not speak, William could tell from his surprised expression that he meant: "Eh, isn't that so?"

"No, not at all!" William said to King Otto excitedly, "I am for the world! for the Gothic nation!! William's voice was very excited:

"The great goal of restoring the Gothic nation of classical antiquity. Father, just thinking about it makes people's blood boil, doesn't it?!What kind of greatness is this?!This greatness is enough to make one immortal!One day, I will be canonized, and the Hereford family will be like the heroes of antiquity—no, greater than the heroes of antiquity. We're going to be like that, so great that it's incomparably great. What could be more exciting in this world, and what could be more worthy of people's youth, energy, and even life?!

No, no, not at all! This is the greatest undertaking in this world, in this era, in 2,000 years!"

As William said these words, the more he spoke, the more excited he felt, and the more he spoke, the more excited he felt.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has truly revealed his wishes, ambitions and plates. And after hearing what William said, the relatives and confidants around him couldn't help but be infected and became excited. As Wilhelm said, unify the entire empire and restore the strength and territory of the Gothic Empire in classical times. This is indeed the biggest, grandest, and most fascinating feat in the hearts of every Goth.

And it's not just a delusion. With the current strength of the Hereford family, as well as its form, the Hereford family does have the potential and possibility to unify the entire Gothic nation.

As William's excited tone became infectious, the guys were also excited-

But, it is a great pity, or indeed a great pity, that King Otto remained astonishingly and terrifyingly silent in this place, when everyone was so excited by William's speech.

He was completely uninfected, and even said that his expression became even more depressed. As if he had said before, he never imagined that he would become such an important character. The more magnificent, important, and uplifting William was speaking, the more terrifying he felt.

"I ...... Do you think I can lead the revival of the Gothic nation to someone who can't even be a good king?" Then he trembled with fear: "No, no, I can't." His face was distorted with fear:

"There's no way I'm going to do that. I don't want to do this, please, please, let me go! I can't...... I can't. With that, King Otto slowly crouched down with his head covered, and then began to cry. This does not look like a powerful monarch who dominates the life and death of tens of millions of people, nor does it look like a great commander who can calmly wield a long sword on the battlefield and lead the army to victory.

He looked cowardly like a frightened little girl now. This made William, and everyone around him, not know what to say. The scene was so embarrassing that it was almost unbearable to watch - if he could, William would have fainted immediately. Don't see this again. But he couldn't do that anyway.

"Father, ...... first Take a break. William sighed, and then said to King Otto. After finishing speaking, he looked at the people around him again, he stared at them and said, "No one is allowed to spread today's events, not a word. I won't be able to talk in my dreams! I'll keep an eye on you! No matter who you are, my henchmen, my family, or even my lover! You have to keep this a secret!!

Even in the face of Elise and Charlumi, William did not hesitate to put down his face. After this, he sighed, picked up King Otto, who was crying like a child, and sent him back to his room. In the face of such a king of Otto, William naturally had no choice but to say anything else...... He sighed, and then went on as far as he could. He tried his best to appease King Otto, and spent the night by King Otto's bedside.

It wasn't until the next day that King Otto's spirits stabilized.

However, even so, King Otto could no longer maintain his diligence and action. November 20, 1741, marked the beginning of the decline in the spirit of King Otto. William secretly asked the best doctors in the kingdom, and the bishops with the most of the gifts of the Lord of Light, to see his condition, and finally came to a dismal result.

That is, King Otto has no problems with his body at all, and the problem is his spirit. It's too long to be in high mental stress, so after this venting, it's hard to get back to normal.

All in all, because of a series of mental and psychological problems, King Otto began a long period of recuperation. At the same time, King Otto made another public statement. In addition to reaffirming William as the sole heir to the Hereford family, William was also appointed regent of the Kingdom of Wende. In the absence of his health, he has full control over all things in the kingdom of Wende.

All in all, it was for such an unsatisfactory reason that an unsatisfactory result was reached. William gained the supreme power he expected from the Hereford family. At the same time, with his rise to power, it was a foregone conclusion that the Hereford family would fall completely to Briton - after all, in the previous "show", William had always played a friendly role with Briton. And King Otto was the opposite.

This time, King Otto faded out of the affairs of the Hereford family, and William became the de facto ruler of the Hereford family, which inevitably gave the world the feeling that the internal strife of the Hereford family had been declared over, and the friendly Briton faction had finally won.

Although, in a sense, this is indeed the case, William still feels very uncomfortable. Whether it was the area controlled by the Hereford family, or the rest of the empire, there were many people who attacked him because of this matter.

The one who was most deeply touched and most shocked by this incident was of course Emperor Kalman IV - although he had many grievances against King Otto, under the guidance of William, King Otto's image in his heart was still relatively positive - that is, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, loyalty to him, adherence to chivalry, and so on.

The result of the power struggle within the Hereford family also gave Kallman IV the illusion that William and Otto had a quarrel over which camp to join, after which William was victorious. In other words, King Otto was always a loyal and good general who insisted on forming an alliance with him.

After this, King Otto, who was already old and easily moved, was moved again - he first sent an emissary to Hereford, hoping to find out about King Otto's condition. If you can, expect to give King Otto some help.

Unfortunately, this plan did not succeed - because King Otto, although he was in poor spirits and disappointed with William's policy line, did not mean that he had the consciousness and courage to fight a family civil war with his son. The Hereford family will continue to follow the route set by William, and keep going. Until it stands at its apex...... Or the country is ruined. There is no second way.
