"Strange? I never doubted myself before, I never doubted ...... And this happened after becoming the emperor. Cohen picked up the wine glass: "I used to wonder why the royal family members of other countries are so strange, singing and drinking all day long, and there are even people who like to waste and have lewd pleasures...... Now I finally have some experience, it's just that the pressure is too much to anesthetize myself. But I'd rather doubt, think hard, than live in a daze. ”

"I am very happy to hear my husband say this, I really deserve to be our husband. Felin smiled and said, "Would you like to speak up about it?" ”

"It's a simple question, what the hell do we ......" Cohen took a sip of wine, "and why fight." ”

At first glance, the question may seem simple, and everyone here knows at least part of what Cohen is going to do in the future. But when I thought about the question a little deeper, I felt that it was very difficult to answer, so that everyone froze, and no one spoke for a while.

"Could it be ......" After a moment, Kelly looked at the sisters beside her: "Doesn't the husband want to be a madman as the goal of the war?"

"That's just a metaphor, and I'm thinking about the root of this qiē now. Cohen smiled: "Of course, whether I figure it out or not, my pace of fighting will never stop, and nothing can shake my determination." But after all, this is only my own thought, and I am very uneasy to let those innocent people bear the bitter consequences for the sake of my own will. ”

Although Cohen doesn't admit it, the wives still know that their husbands are not just suspicious and uneasy. And in terms of attitude, Cohen is very serious this time, which proves that this problem has been bothering him for a long time.

"So. What does the husband think in his heart?" Fei Lin asked softly, "Let's talk about it first." ”

"On this issue. There was only a strong hatred in my heart. Cohen stood up: "Nothing else. ”

Cohen's answer left Feline at a loss for a moment. But Winsley, who had never spoken much, spoke first, with a slight smile on her face, and asked Cohen softly: "So, who is the husband hating?

"I hate a lot of things, I hate a lot of people, I don't have too many ideas, I just want to tear some people to pieces, smash some things to pieces, like that. I feel a little better. Cohen lowered his head slightly: "This thought is so strong that I can't suppress it at all, I don't want to lose my mind driven by such feelings, and do something that I regret again." ”

"How can the husband lose his mind when he is already thinking like this?" Or thinking is the elf's strength, and Winsley's explanation of her husband's language is just right: "Let's start with the source of the hatred in the husband's heart, so that it is easier to think of the answer." ”

"Do you have to find the answer?" while everyone was thinking about it, Kelly asked confusedly, "It's not a big deal, is it?"

"Winsley is right, I'll have to answer that question for myself. Cohen affirmed Winsley's words: "My will is like the will of the Empire, and it is the policy of the nation." And the national focus guides the strategy. Strategy determines the outcome of the battle, and now even the most subtle tactics are decided. My own will is not yet clear, and this is an obvious reversal of the cart. If we don't decide on the national policy as soon as possible, we will definitely become very passive in the days to come. ”

"I'm in favor. Dill nodded: "Husband, apart from Fischet, where does your hatred come from?"

"Well...... Although it is vague, I know that every time I go out, the hatred in my heart deepens a little. Cohen thought for a moment: "Since saying goodbye to my childhood, every time I go on a long trip, I have encountered something unacceptable. There is the encounter of Lily's friend in the distance, and the encounter of Qin Lun in the near future...... Not to mention the Battle of Tucheng, which would wake me up in my sleep. ”

"It's hard to accept any of these things, but what's the solution? ”

"When I saw this, I felt very uncomfortable, or rather depressed. Cohen turned, "I know it's not just what I've seen, it's happening in other places, at other times, and that's the life of civilians." But even if they are so miserable, I will still start a war and inflict greater suffering on them...... I don't care what others say about me, but I can't pass my own level at the moment, so I can be considered very selfish!"

After Fischett's accident, this is the first time everyone has heard Cohen's evaluation of himself, given that Cohen's majesty has always been "self-love", saying that he is selfish, he must have reached self-hatred and even a little self-abandonment in his heart.

When the imperial concubines were thinking about comforting words, the crow, who had been making a fortune in a muffled voice, snorted: "Why bother, you are not a god or demon, you have no obligation to take care of everyone, it is good to be optimistic about the people around you." ”

"I know I don't have that obligation. Cohen replied, "But it's another thing for me to exacerbate their suffering." ”

"Living in the world, there are things that are added to others, there are things that others have added to themselves, and it is not strange that one thing is done to lead to another thing happening. The crow said in his usual cold tone, "You don't need to pay too much attention, and you don't have that much time." ”

The Raven's solution is peculiar, but it doesn't work for Cohen, but his willingness to open his mouth is considered progress.

"Your Excellency's words have reminded me of something. Filyn smiled at the crow, "Husband, do you want to hear it?"

"Of course. ”

"Your Excellency Raven's words just now are right, this kind of thing is happening everywhere on the whole continent, and from this standpoint, although you have mercy for the common people, you are not obliged to save everyone, this is our current thinking. Philene walked up to Cohen's side, "The paradox of the whole thing is that although the husband has mercy, he still wants to start a war. ”

"That's right. Cohen nodded: "The bitter consequences of war are always borne by civilians, as a war-maker, I can't limit this tragedy to a certain category of people, I don't have that ability." ”

"The purpose of the husband's war is not for pleasure, but for a deeper reason. Because I don't know if the crow and the others know Cohen's plan, Fei Lin's words are reserved: "Then let's think about it from another angle." What if you have an obligation to rescue civilians, husband?"

"What if?" Cohen turned, "how many people are there on the mainland? Why should I carry this burden?"

"I'm just assuming. Feline emphasized.

"It's not good to assume it. Cohen shook his head. Very resolute: "It's simple. The purpose of my war is to do the of the people of Fischet, who are not from my Spyan Empire, and who live or die as they please—I tell you that there are many miserable people, but there are also many people. It's not my fault, they don't want to get on my boat!"

But if you do that, your heart will be disturbed. Felin tried to convince Cohen in his own words.

"It's just uneasy! I can still handle it. I don't know if it's true, but Cohen replied nonchalantly: "At least it's much easier than being a savior." ”

The four princesses were accustomed to working together, and when Philin looked at the sisters for help, someone immediately responded, and the first to speak was Dil: "When the husband was still the head of the Dark Province, it seemed that he was not willing to let the people of Spia get on his ship! ”

"It's just an accident. Cohen yelled, barely arguing, "I didn't let them on board, I was pulled into the water!"

In the laughter of the four imperial concubines, the crow lightly provided fire support: "It doesn't hurt to listen." ”

"It's only been a few days, and you've been forming a gang to deal with me alone. Cohen's vision is inevitably "assumed" by everyone. Just casually reconcile everyone's relationship with the crow: "Okay! I'll just sit here and listen to your hypothesis, emphasizing! It's just a hypothesis." ”

"That's good. I'll just follow what I just said. Fei Lin thought about her words for a moment: "If you had the obligation to save everyone, husband, the whole thing would be different, and the war you started would not have brought disaster to them...... In other words, after a moment of difficulty, there is a stable life. As a husband, he will not allow those tragic things to happen again. ”

"Man's desires are limitless. Cohen held his line: "Who can guarantee that I won't become a tyrant?"

Whether an emperor will become a tyrant or not is determined by two parts, the innate personality and the acquired environment. To Cohen's surprise, it was Kelly who launched the attack this time: "And husband, you are healthy in both parts and have no problems." ”

"Are you so sure?" Cohen retorted angrily: "The reason why people are called human beings is because they have thoughts, and a thinking life can mutate at any time, sudden mutations. ”

"I can't see you're so vulnerable. The crow's voice rang out again, and Cohen was dumbfounded.

"Husband, you have us behind you, and tens of millions of people, and if you become a tyrant, it will be a defeat for all of us. In order to ease the atmosphere, Wen Sili persuaded in a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter if you are a savior or not, as long as you pass your own level...... As long as it is a solemn choice you make, we will support it and be very happy. ”

"I understand what you're saying. Cohen let out a long sigh: "The idea is good, but it is quite far from reality. ”

"Actually, husband, you don't have to make a decision right away, we still have plenty of time. Seeing that Cohen was considering, Philin retreated: "The things in life are better to understand in life, or will you suddenly figure it out?"

"I hope so. Cohen looked up at the ceiling, "That miserable white goblet, that bloody battlefield, that demon village, and that unbearable basement...... Hopefully I won't think about it again. ”

Those present had heard of these scenes more than once, and after hearing them, they all bowed their heads, and Princess Winsley was still praying. But from Cohen's words, it is impossible to tell whether his mind has changed. Indeed, Cohen was a man who didn't even want to be an emperor, and for him, the title of savior was too reluctant.

"By the way, what is the reason why everyone is here?" Cohen broke the silence after a long time.

"It's nothing, we're just passing by. Although it was easy to get rid of the crows, Feline knew that now was not a good time to ask questions, so she didn't mention the crows at all: "Ahhh After a while, you'll have to go. ”

"Probably because the father misses his daughter. Princess Bernie is his heart!" Cohen replied with a smile, "There must be no problems with safety." Please help me arrange an escort on the road, and I will personally see her off on the day of departure. ”

"Got it, husband, you rest early, we take our leave. ”

"Okay, I'll be right over in a minute. Cohen sighed, "Why am I thinking about this? Am I really getting old? I like some dull topics?" Go straight back to your own place.

Like everyone else, his room was a small, independent building, as large as everyone else's. However, the crow insisted on living alone, without any guards and maids, and the nearest guards were dozens of paces away from the building.

The crow walked along the lighted path, and although the armor wrapped him tightly, the guards along the road recognized who he was. Even if they deliberately imitate, others can't take such a distinctive step.

After a certain consultation, Cohen revealed that Raven was the other captain of the Royal Guard. The status is comparable to that of the rock, and the rank on the armor is brigadier general. The raven was careless about the title. Turning a deaf ear to the roadside guards...... Fortunately, these days, the guards have long been accustomed to the strange behavior of the general.

The light in the small building was much dimmer compared to the bright lights outside, and General Raven seemed to like to put himself in the shadows, and from this hobby, he had something in common with His Majesty the Emperor. But no matter how strange the emperor's hobby is, it will not let people shovel the flowers and plants in their courtyard, and the crow did so.

Stopping in the bare courtyard, the crow sat down on a stone bench, untied his sword and put it at his feet, looking up at the starry sky, thinking of something.

Suddenly, he picked up the sword at his feet again, and stood, turned, and faced the door, and although there was no wind at this time, the cloak behind the crow fluttered slowly and rhythmically...... There were four or five people outside the door, and although the footsteps were still far away, the killer had already noticed it, and the murderous aura revealed was almost a natural reaction.

"Is the general there?" the footsteps stopped outside the door, and a soft female voice spoke, "Please open the door, Princess Winsley is visiting." ”

The raven hung up his sword and walked up to open the door. A smiling Princess Wensley was standing outside the door, and several elven maids behind her were holding potted flowers and plants in their hands. Even His Excellency Raven is extremely smart, and he can't guess the meaning of this noble princess for a while, of course, His Excellency Raven has always been a person who only pays attention to reality, and will not guess the behavior of others in most cases.

"Good evening. Seeing that the crow did not react, Princess Winsley said, "Won't the general invite me in to sit down?"

The crow, accustomed to killing, realized that he was the master of the place, hesitated for a moment, and owed to Winsley to give way out of the door—you must know that the Raven never let anyone, and he only had the concept of raid and escape in his head, but since entering the palace, there have been more and more exceptions.

"The General's residence is really simple. Her eyes swept over the empty courtyard in front of her, and Princess Wensley was really angry and funny in her heart, so she had to find an excuse not to embarrass the crow: "Is this the training ground opened up by the general?"

"Not much exercise. The crow had lived in the temple for a long time, and hardly knew how to deal with women, but fortunately, his tone of voice was always cold, and no one else could hear anything: "Basically just sit here in a daze." ”

"The general's hobby is a little special, because sometimes Princess Qinlun will come to play, and the little girl likes a more beautiful environment. Princess Winsley turned her head and said, "Let me help the general set it up, if the general doesn't find it an eyesore, I'll be happy." ”

"Whatever. The raven replied.

Winsley nodded to her maids, and the elven maids put down their belongings and released magical lighting in the courtyard. Under the soft light, Princess Wensley took matters into her own hands and placed the potted flowers and plants she brought.

"I didn't bring enough flowers and plants!" Because of the area of the courtyard, the environment did not change much after the arrangement, and Princess Winsley smiled apologetically at the crow: "Bring other flowers and plants tomorrow, and the general can tell me what other things he needs." ”

The crow nodded, remembering that he was the master, and finally reluctantly said, "Please be seated." ”

After saying this, the crow felt embarrassed, because there was only a stone bench in the courtyard, not even a table. Princess Winsley didn't think anything. Gracefully sat down on the stone bench. Pure eyes stared at the crow standing straight.

The maids had retreated to the door. The crow felt a little uncomfortable.

"General Raven...... I'm sorry. Before Princess Wen Sili spoke, she had already laughed: "This name is so strange, does the general have any other titles?"

"Nope. The crow shook his head. If someone else laughed when they asked this sentence, they would have been splashed with blood on the spot, and even Cohen's wife would have no good fruit to eat. But there was no hint of mockery in Princess Winsley's smile, and the crow felt real concern in her gaze, and it was this concern that made the crow feel even more uncomfortable.

He has been resisting all his life. Resist the one around you, which also includes the care of others.

"That's what the husband calls you, and we'll get used to it after a long time, but in the court, it's not official. The princess said softly: "I understand that the general does not like to be conspicuous, but this title makes people have to pay attention to the general...... I think it would be more fitting for you to put on a different title. Of course, it's not a problem that the general doesn't want to change. ”

"Just no other name. The crow continued to shake his head: "It doesn't matter to me if I change it or not. ”

"If the general doesn't feel presumptuous, shall I come up with a name for the general?" Winsley folded her hands in front of her. The demure temperament is revealed: "Although I am not so good at choosing names for others, I would love to do something for the general." ”

The crow nodded slightly. It can be regarded as accepting the imperial concubine's construction, at least you can listen to it.

"There are many ancient legends in the elves, most of which are related to ancient events, and one of them is a legend of a hero that makes people feel sad. Winsley thought for a moment, and the words she uttered didn't seem to have anything to do with her name: "As an elven warrior, he has a mission that is not understood by everyone, and he is silent, and he is misunderstood by the other elves. He was lonely and silent, and endured a qiē on his own until he finally gave his life to save his people. ”

"His name is Freo, and I've seen the story. The raven replied, "One of the ten legends of the elves." ”

"I feel honored to be an elf. Winsley nodded in relief: "So, shall we call the general by the name of this hero? Although it is a hero who guards everyone in silence, it is an ordinary name." ”

Thinking that it would be a matter of time before he left the temple and changed his name, Raven accepted the arrangement of the imperial concubine.

"Freo, then I'll call you that now. The princess was pleased, "Can you take off your helmet? There is no one else here." The husband also often wears armor and helmets, which makes people feel strange and distant. ”

Princess Winsley is not older than the crow, but at the moment she is talking like a big sister, the crow didn't want to take off the helmet, but seeing the princess's frank and concerned gaze, it is difficult to say no.

"As a thank you gift for the imperial concubine to choose my name. "But a raven is a raven after all, well, we should call him Freo now, and he just used this to return the favor, and then took off his helmet as he said, and his handsome face appeared in the magic light.

"Really...... It's really like Fichette Majesty. It wasn't the first time she had seen this face, but Princess Winsley was still surprised and couldn't help but ask curiously, "General Freo, are you sure you don't have a brother?"

"No, I'm sure no, I've met His Majesty Fichette too. Faced with the question blurted out by the imperial concubine, Freo's previously tense body relaxed: "Imperial Princess, in your eyes, what kind of person is His Majesty Fichette?"

His Majesty was a very kind and intelligent monarch. A faint sadness flashed in Princess Wensley's eyes: "Sincere and strong, I have never heard him tell a lie, and I have never seen him bully." Whether it is a prince or an emperor, we are always friends, even if it is not for my husband's reason, we will be friends. ”

"He sounded like a very good guy, completely different from me. ”

"People don't have exactly the same personality as people, and it's unfair to use one person as a standard to measure the others. The princess smiled: "Where are the merits of General Freo? I think we haven't found them yet! Or maybe you have hidden your merits too deeply, so that people can't find them even if they want to." ”

"Frankly, there are a lot more disadvantages in my personality than strengths, and as for the strengths...... Is it better to be more capable of killing?" Although he still insisted on not giving himself a good evaluation, Freo's words were obviously more, and the tone of his voice was no longer so flat that it was chilling. (To be continued......)
