It makes a lot more sense to do these things than to be a king. ”

"I just knew that you were obsessed with studying all kinds of historical documents and indulging in the baptism rituals of the Holy Force, but I didn't expect you to want to do these things, it's—" She couldn't think of any words to put it.

"Crazy, isn't it?" said Pedy, leaning back on the couch and spreading his hands.

"But it's very interesting. Saviara didn't maintain a reserved mother figure, she laughed "haha", "Your ideals are actually very close to the ideals of me and your father when we were young, we have lived under the protection of an ancient family since we were children, and the long-term repressive life makes us want to go outside and see from the bottom of our hearts, when we are young, we also want to go on adventures all over the world, to see the scenery we have not seen, but your father is the eldest son, and later..."

"As time went on, our ideals were gradually eroded, and we soon had children of our own, and I don't know when we became the parents we hated very much when we were children... Penny and Omar had such a tragic fate because of our parents. ”

The old lady had some tears in her eyes, her original blonde hair had mostly turned white, and she looked like an ordinary old woman at this moment, so lonely and helpless. Pedi was looking at her mother's current appearance, and a certain string in her heart seemed to be suddenly fluctuating, and she almost agreed to the other party about Penny.

"I see pity in your eyes. Saviara's bald state slowly disappeared as she spoke, and when she raised her eyelids to meet her young son's eyes, she became a king's mother, "I am not a poor peasant woman, I am the princess of the highlands, the duchess of Crewe, and now... I am the mother of the king of the Kingdom of Kruria, do you think I need pity?"

"I need you to keep your promise, not to comfort me, or I'd rather ...", she interrupted as she said this, then chuckled, then shook her head.

"We had just talked about ideals, and something suddenly came to mind. Saviara's face was smiling at the moment with a seeping flavor, like the evil smiling face of a demon when it seduced mortals.

"Thirteen years ago, when we returned to this castle with Emperor Laubert, your father was here to discuss his ideals with your grandfather, and your grandfather told us about his youthful ideals, and your father also told about his youthful ideals, and later about their own helplessness, about their own compulsion. ”

The devilish smile on Saviara's face faded as she spoke, and when she picked up the teacup and tasted the mellow black tea, a calm expression appeared on her face, and after a few sips of tea, she looked at her little son, who had been looking at him with a frown, and asked:

"Do you know what happened next?"

Peidi naturally knew what was going on, but it was impossible for him to evaluate the matter in front of his mother, so he could only remain silent. But Saviara was not silent, and when she saw her youngest son's calm gaze, she asked herself, "Your grandfather was under house arrest in this room until the news of the victory came from Suke City, and when the whole empire was cheering for the new emperor to be crowned, your grandfather could only wait here alone for the bad news of the old emperor's defeat and death. ”

"So—" he stared at Pedi and said in a very serious tone, "What are you telling me this to illustrate?"

"You also want to tell me that the choice you are making now is a last resort?" she suddenly became very excited, "Just like your grandfather said to your father at that time that he had no choice but to do it, and like your father told your grandfather that he was also a last resort and had no choice, my father asked me to marry Nick and said that it was a last resort, and then Nick also told me that he was a last resort, and you... Now tell me that you have no choice?"

Saviara's voice grew louder and more excited.

Peidi didn't expect his mother, who had always been calm, to suddenly become so excited, and he didn't know what to say for a while, or that the words he had prepared were no longer able to be said under a series of rhetorical questions from his mother.

"Why don't you speak? Why don't you explain?"

"Mother, what do you want me to do?"

"You speak in the same tone as your father now, he always asks me what I want to do, but he never listens to me, you all do!" Seviala stood up and sat down, and after repeating this several times, she stared at her little son who was leaning on the sofa with a pair of excited and angry eyes, "I want you to help Penny from the bottom of my heart, would you like to?"

"Help her capture the Suker Plains?" Pedi asked rhetorically.

"Is there any problem?" Seviara immediately said, "You now own the El Luk Territory and the Kru Territory, and you have cleared only one of the four major autonomous territories, you are already the most powerful person in the Eastern Continent, why do you want to fight with your sister?"

"Mother!" said Peddy in a heavy tone, standing up, "It's not like I was a kid dividing toys, and I'm not going to fight with my sister, but Penny just happens to be sitting in that position." ”

"It was your father who put her in that position, and she could have done what she liked and married whoever she liked like Phyllis. Saviara had a pleading look on her face, "Even if I, the mother, beg you, to give up the Suker Plains to Penny." ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't force me to do anything?"

"I..."

"The most I can do is promise to keep Penny's mother and son safe, and they will live carefree in a beautiful manor. Pedi interrupted the woodwork and assured, "I can assure you with the crown on my head that no one can hurt Penny's mother and son." ”

"You won't do that, but what about your courtiers?" Seviara leaned forward, her hands pressed on the armrests of the couch and stared at Pedi, "During the Empire's civil war, you and your father were using Queen Penny's status to plan their own affairs, and now you want to kill their mother and son?"

"I said I would guarantee the lives of Penny and her children, and no one could hurt them!" Pedi assured again, then changed the subject, "but only if she can't have undue ambitions." ”

"She has no ambitions, she just wants to keep her children safe. ”

"In the kingdom of Cruria, she is the supreme princess, and her children are the king's own nephews, who dares to harm their mother and son?"

"But you don't have children of your own..."

"I'll have my own baby!" Peddy interrupted her mother.

"But you haven't yet, according to our laws..."

"I will strip that child of his right to the throne. "I'm only twenty-two years old now, don't you think it's too early to talk about it?"

Saviara may have sensed her son's sensitivity to this issue, and felt that she should not talk about it at such a time, so she immediately changed back to the topic and asked, "Isn't there any room for Penny?"

At this time, her tone became calm.

"I will not support her in seizing the Suke Plains. Pedi spoke again.

Saviara, who was rejected again, was not as excited as she was just now, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked a different way: "What if... Penny used her own power to get the Suker Plains, and will you still insist on entering the Suk Plains to meet your sister in battle?"

"Mother, you should ask Penny this question. ”

"Penny has been working for this family since she was a child, you can't..."

"I admit what Penny has done, but can you and don't compare this to the Suker Plains!"

Pedi, perhaps annoyed by his mother's tireless persuasion, stood up and whispered to Saviara, "Have you ever seen a mountain of bones, have you ever seen blood tumbling like a river? Do you know how many families can be torn apart by a war?"

"Penny can swear allegiance to you, she only wants the plains of Suke, not the crown on her head. Saviara also stood up and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "All Penny wants is a place to stay." ”

"The Suker Plains is not a place for her!"

"You—" Saviara pointed at Pedi's nose, she was so angry. However, she didn't seem to know what to say, and after saying "you", she sat back on the couch and gasped.

Pedi looked at his mother's appearance and instinctively wanted to comfort him for a word or two, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him. He walked silently to the window and let the hot light fall on him.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and in a short time Pei Di's forehead was oozing fine sweat.

After a long silence, Saviara's slightly indifferent voice rang out again, "You want me to leave Crewe City?"

Pedi was looking up at the fiery sun, her eyes fluttering, as if she hadn't even heard her mother's question.

"Why don't you come and tell me yourself. Saviara turned her head to look at her son's back.

"Phyllis is lonely in the Mage Tower. Peddy spoke in a low voice, and as he said that, he turned his head to meet his mother's eyes, "She needs your company." ”

"What the hell do you think you asked Eileen to tell me about this?"

"What do you think I think?" Peddy walked back to the couch where she was sitting, took the handkerchief handed by her mother, wiped the sweat from her face, and said, "Erin Phier is my wife, she is the queen of this country, not the object of casual discussion. ”

"If she doesn't have a problem with herself, she won't be talked about. ”

"Mother!" said Pedi repeatedly, "Eileen is my wife, the queen of this country!" he pointed to the fiery sun outside the window, "this is a fact that even the gods cannot change, she will give birth to a lively and lovely child for me, and a healthy prince for this country." ”

"Are you blaming me for having too much contact with Omar's children, and you even invited Baron Aemond to your luncheon today, are you demonstrating to me?"

"You think I'm demonstrating?" asked Pedi rhetorically, "that's what you think of your son." ”

"If you're not demonstrating to me, I can't think of what you're doing it for. ”

"You're my mother, why can't we just talk about it?" Peddy sighed, "Since my father died, we've been arguing every time we haven't talked more than three words, what is it that makes you feel uneasy?"

Saviara frowned slightly when she heard Pedy's words, and slowly picked up the steaming black tea on the coffee table, but when she was about to taste it, she put down the teacup again, looked at Pedi and said, "What should you do if Erin Fil is really as rumored?"

She still couldn't help but ask this sentence, and the question was very direct, so direct that Pedi didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Don't try to evade my question with silence, you have to answer it. Saviara wasn't going to let Pedi go, and she pressed very closely.

Ignoring his mother's questioning, he used the wrench on his left hand to gently slide the leather on the armrest of the sofa while looking down at the marks on the armrest, as if to say to himself, "I won't let that happen, and mother... That's not something you should be concerned about. ”

"I shouldn't care about this?" said Saviara, looking at Pedi in disbelief.

"I'd be happy if you cared for me as a mother, but there's so much you do. Pedi suddenly raised his head and looked at Saviara, "Who will inherit this country in the future is up to me, the king, not you... Nor are they maggot-like villains. ”

"Don't look at me like that, Mother. Peidi leaned his whole body against the cushions of the sofa, and said in a breezy tone: "This is my attitude, no one can coerce me, and no one can use magic and deception in my kingdom, the assassination of Saike-Marat will not end here, I will find out the people involved in the assassination one by one, and then personally send them to the guillotine, let their heads hang high at the city gate, and their corpses will be exposed on the old mulberry tree outside the city!"

"It's not as simple as you think, my child. Seviala whispered, "You are the king, you should not approach problems with such a narrow mind... You may think that everything you are doing is right, but there are many more people who think that what you are doing is wrong. ”

"Mother, we are following the old path of the Empire, the nobles are sucking the blood of the kingdom, the corrupt officials are eroding our foundations, they are as hateful as rats in the wheat field. Pedi clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed the armrest of the sofa with a "thud", "They used the money of the kingdom to raise cronies for them to pry my throne, and you asked me to tolerate these people? Are you still my mother? Do you have the consciousness of being a king's mother?"

"Are you accusing me?"
