Morton Fez's eyes closed, and this choice was actually not difficult for him to make.

As the lord of Zhongxing who led the rise of the Fez Kingdom, he may be a little soft-hearted towards his children because of his age, but in this kind of matter related to the future of the kingdom, Morton will not hesitate too much.

"Artan, my child."

Morton, with his eyes closed, said softly, his body seemed to collapse, and his thin body was wrapped in the whole of the sofa.

"Father."

Yatan looked up, remembering that his father had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone.

Always busy with state affairs, under his leadership, the Kingdom of Fez has also become the premier human power on this continent.

So, even though Artian rarely had the opportunity to be close to Morton since he was a child, he has always made it his goal to become a wise monarch like his father.

Since childhood, he has studied hard, government affairs, military, and royal people. And so on, as long as it is related to becoming a king and managing the country better, Yatian is trying to learn.

His efforts were also praised by others, and even now, ministers and nobles regard him as the best heir to the kingdom, the next king of Fez.

Yatan used to think so!

But one day, his expectations, or the goal he had been striving for, were shattered.

Morton Fez, his father, brought a little girl to the palace.

That's a pretty cute kid.

Yat'an, who had seen Atayal for the first time, thought so much that he didn't mind his father bringing his illegitimate daughter back to the palace.

But then everything quickly changed!

Ataya began to show her terrifying talent, and the astonishing rate of progress amazed everyone.

Even the legendary warrior monk, [Broken Mountain] Evan Deen, praised Atayal's talent.

"She will be the kingdom's first legendary warrior!"

After that, His Majesty immediately blocked all news about Atayal, but how could all this be hidden from Yatean.

Artan, who has studied for many years and has a mature mind, knows that if Ataya really breaks through to become a legendary warrior, then there will be no other choice for the throne of the Kingdom of Festus.

No matter how good the Atrian is, it's useless.

Maybe Artian could become a respected duke and help Ataya run the country, but was that really what he wanted?

Therefore, Artean chose to resist without hesitation.

He wants to make everything a foregone conclusion before Atayal breaks through and becomes a legend.

Start the war, take the credit, and ascend to the throne early!

This is Artan's plan, and it is also his ambition!

Li Si shook his head, even though he knew all this, he didn't have the slightest sympathy for Yatan.

He is not a Mother who will be kind enough to forgive a man who once tried to kill him.

Since he chose to fight the snake, he must be directly pressed to death without giving him any chance to resist.

"I don't have many children, and now it's just you and little Ata."

"Actually, I was vaguely aware of it before, and I probably knew what was going on in your heart."

"Ataya is the future of the kingdom!"

"Maybe I should have stopped you when I found out about your plan, instead of giving you a chance."

"Maybe this is a mockery of fate."

Morton said with some emotion, but Yatan did not respond, but quietly listened to his father's words.

King Morton opened his eyes, and instead of looking at Artean, who was kneeling in front of him, he turned to Lees and said:

"Li Si, since you didn't let that person make a move in advance, you should have noticed it."

Li Si felt that King Morton, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to be a little older at this time, and his energy was insufficient.

"Yes, I want to push for war against the Berdych Kingdom, and you have chosen this path in the end."

"Yes, the kingdom has developed to this point, and I am old, and I no longer have any more energy to maintain the balance in the country."

"It's better to throw all these contradictions into a war."

Morton shook his head and said with some weariness.

Naturally, Lees understood what King Morton meant.

The kingdom of Fez has flourished to this day, and the potential for internal development has been almost tapped, and before the arrival of new changes in the productive forces, domestic contradictions will only continue to accumulate.

The frontier nobles wanted to open up territories and expand their influence.

The nobles of the court expected to start the war and seize the merits of the war to become the real nobles.

The merchants wanted the kingdom to be more extensive and free from the harsh taxes of the small, mediocre nations.

Even the lowest civilian populations are secretly agitated by a faint cry for the hope of crossing classes through war.

Under the influence of so many pushers, in fact, all the prerequisites for war have been met.

After the Church of the Gods gave up mediating the contradictions and disputes between the nations, no longer preventing the outbreak of war, and chose to stand idly by.

The arrival of war could not be stopped, which is why King Morton chose to acquiesce in Athean's plan, and why Lees asked Joyce to capture him after the successful assassination of the Bloody Blade.

It's a pity that Morton Fez didn't know that his choice would trigger a war and gunsmoke that would affect the entire Fanor continent.

Li Si sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything to remind him.

This is the prelude to the arrival of the tide of the times, and the gods have chosen to give up, how can he prevent the ignition of the war from being ignited by his little silver mage.

In a situation that could affect the kingdom and even the entire continent, the four nobles who died tragically seemed so insignificant.

"War is coming, but it can't be driven by the Athean."

King Morton said in an affirmative tone that this is the most fundamental point.

If outsiders know that the murder of the nobleman is the second prince, it will have an unimaginable impact on the situation in the kingdom.

Li Si nodded, it was for sure, so he didn't point out that Yatan was the murderer on the spot.

"As for the Attean"

Morton Fez looked at Artan, who was kneeling in front of him with his head bowed, and his withered right hand couldn't help but tremble a few times.

"Lis, I. There is a request. ”

Well?

Li Si frowned, the old king couldn't be confused, his words were so obvious, and he still wanted to let Yatian go?

Morton waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"If you make a big mistake, I won't just forgive him."

"If you depose or even execute him now, it will be tantamount to letting outsiders know what happened."

"Now that the war has begun, it must continue."

"When the war is over, I will declare that all this is a conspiracy by Yatian to depose him as a prince."

"During this time, I will put him under house arrest in the palace and will not let him continue to live."

"Li Si, you don't need to worry, I will ask Your Excellency [Judgment Flame] to take action and set a ban on Yat'an's body, if you still have ill intentions towards you, you will die directly."

"When the war is over, I have no problem if you insist on executing Yatan."

After saying that, Morton stared at Li Si tightly.

Li Si did not feel a trace of His Majesty's momentum from the old man's body, but only the request of an elderly father remained.

And, to be honest, His Majesty's operation was really a bit ruthless, much more exaggerated than Li Si imagined.

This was even more painful for the Athans than outright execution.

There is no hope for the throne!

The black cauldron that pushes the war is honestly detained!

House arrest for life!

You also have to be banned by the legendary mage!

Morton took almost all of Lees's concerns into account, and Lees naturally believed in his teacher's methods.

The Artian is completely finished!

There is only one life left to survive!

"That's what you want!"

I'm really embarrassed, I heard the rain catch a cold, cough badly, my brain is a little confused, I wrote and deleted it, and it dragged on until now (*).

Everyone should also pay attention to keep warm, don't catch a cold when the weather is cold.
