Chapter 14: The days slowly melt into the years

After watching Prince Rheyd leave, Rogus slowly let out a cloudy breath.

He had just combined the information from the game and made a big gamble to bet on whether he could fool the prince with real power.

Although the emperor is going to carry out a large-scale centralization of power, although there is no sign of it yet, Reeuid, as a member of the royal family, should know a little rumor.

And his wife comes from a duke family with a long heritage, and is an iron-clad aristocratic faction, the type that is born to be incompatible with the imperial power.

As the duke's heir with royal blood, Rufia is probably much more eye-catching in the eyes of the emperor than the marriage of Rogers and Alina.

After all, the union of the two families of Rutgers and Alina controls the eastern part of the empire at most, while Rufia has the capital to directly kick those princes and inherit the throne.

Even if Rufia doesn't have this mind, as long as she still has her back to her prince's father and Grand Duke's mother, even if the emperor doesn't make a move, those princes will definitely not be able to bear it.

The entire royal family, except for Prince Rheyed, is all iron-clad totalitarians.

Prince Rörheid loves his wife and daughter deeply in the game, no matter which line he is in, and can even go toe-to-toe with his emperor brother for his wife.

It is the only strange existence that was born in the royal family, but is opposed to the imperial power.

It is probably because of his current faint display of the factor of leaning towards the aristocratic faction that he was pushed out to the Braid.

If he was really dead, and Prince Ray was found to have made an appearance at the scene...... The Emperor must be looking forward to this kind of episode, and it would be a good trick.

As the daughter of Prince Rayald, Rufia has indeed been calculated many times in the late game, but because of the friendship and help of the Holy Maiden, every crisis will be averted.

It's a pity that Ray didn't know about these things, and fortunately he didn't, otherwise there would be nothing to do with Rogers.

"With the support of a prince with real power, he should be able to help stop most of the conspiracy from the royal family against him, but fortunately, it turned out to be really fooled."

Rogers rubbed his shoulder, which had been pinched a little sore.

Prince Rörheyd in the game has been practicing chivalry all his life, but for the sake of Rufia, he can easily abandon his faith and run to bully himself, a "little child", and he can be regarded as a competent father.

Finally, there is the lock and key of the Holy Maiden, which is not mentioned in this intelligence game, but it is also in line with Rogers's previous speculation.

Kevin, as Alice's only living blood relative, must play the role of a lock, but Rogers does not believe that he is destined for this key.

Maybe you like Alice, and you may be fiddled with.

In the final analysis, you still have to gain power, and only absolute power can get rid of the possibility of being used as a pawn by those high-ranking guys.

As for the prophetic identity, Rutgers certainly did not have it.

"The memory of clearing the game at the end of the game, Alina's prophetic bonus, and the characteristics of the tooltip, this prophet himself doesn't seem to be a ......"

Rogers touched his chin and casually flipped through the prompt box that hadn't changed for a long time, speculating about what other benefits the prophet status could bring.

However, when you don't have enough strength, it's better to pretend less.

"Rutgers, you're thinking of bad ideas again!" Alina quietly walked over to the distracted Rogus and suddenly said in a loud voice.

"You're definitely going to be particularly annoyed and angry about something today." Rogers turned his head to Alina with a blank face, and prophesied in a serious manner.

"Why?" Alina was stunned when she heard this, and then her face immediately became remorseful and angry.

"Because I answered your question, and now you owe me a request." The corners of Rogers' mouth grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth, and his smile had a glint of pride and triumph: "You scared me, regret it?" ”

"You despicable liar with no honor!" Alina tried to reach for Rogers' collar, but she was able to grab it.

As if he had expected it, Rogers turned and fled.

Perhaps because of developmental problems, girls at this age are always more powerful than boys, but when Rogers runs at full speed, it is difficult for Alina, in her skirt, to catch up.

After a short time, Rufia, who had climbed to the top of the tower, saw Rogers, who was evading Alina's pursuit with quick and agile movements, and her eyes revealed a look of wanting to play together.

Then she lifted the hem of her skirt and joined in the game with a smile.

In the pursuit of teenagers and girls, the sky gradually lifted the golden curtain, and time passed irreversibly and quickly.

The colors of summer are fading, and the cool smell heralds the approach of autumn.

For more than a month, Rutgers often heard from Alice, the holy woman.

Either to praise her noble character or to praise her unparalleled magical talent.

During this time, the Earl and Lady of Breed also visited the stargazing tower several times, but they did not reprimand Rogers, but would often ask him if his life was comfortable, and occasionally express some anxiety about Rogers' future.

"Mother doesn't want to know what kind of revelation or perks you've gotten, or why you've grown so much in such a short period of time.

"Mother can only clearly feel that you are still my poor child, and the only heir to the Braid.

"Sooner or later, you will bear the glory of the Earl of Breed, and your father and I will not be able to shelter you for the rest of your life, which is why I want to send you to St. Herte, and I hope you will not be resentful of our letting go."

Lady Brad, who kept saying similar things every time she came, feared that Rogus would be resentful of it, and that not sending Rogus to St. Herte would ruin his future.

The Earl of Breed tended to be silent, sitting quietly beside mother and son, listening to his wife's nagging about his son.

"Child, bloodlines never bring glory, you must master enough strength and wisdom to glorify your bloodline."

This was the motto that Earl Brad had left for Rogers when he left most recently.

Rufia's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds under Rutgers's teaching, and no one in the entire Earl's Court has indeed been able to beat her, instead of pretending to lose to her.

Unfortunately, she still failed to win from Rutgers, but instead had a relationship with Aliana, and the two quickly became good companions.

Alina has a mind beyond her peers, but she is still a little girl, at an age when she longs for pure friendship.

However, Rogers looked at the way the two got along, and there was always an illusion that an old mother was taking a stupid child.

Peaceful days slowly flowed and melted into peaceful years.

One day at dawn, Rogers clutched the letter with the coat of arms of St. Helte in his hand and stretched vigorously:

"The prologue has passed, and the drama is finally about to begin."
