Blood Dragon

Chapter 360 The Fifth Reward

"Why...why did you say that!" The little girl took half a step back with a startled expression on her face. "He is my elder brother, my elder brother, the only person in my world who is connected by blood. Don't say such terrible things."

"A glorious throne," said Ashuruffat. "There can only be one person on it."

"But he is my elder brother... I... I... the throne has never been a right to me, but a responsibility. Sometimes I would rather not be born in the emperor's family... He is my elder brother, he It is more appropriate to inherit the throne..." Ashuruffat looked at the little girl, making her feel flustered uncontrollably.

"If he died, it was only his own stupidity that killed him." Ashuruffat said in a deep voice. "It was he who chose this path by himself, forcing you and him into this dead corner with no way out. We could have sat down and negotiated, but he blocked this path by himself. He wanted to use this posture Letting you submit... stupid, arrogant and selfish behavior. As long as he really regards you as a blood-related sister in his heart, he will not make such an action!"

The two faced each other, speechless for a while.

"Ashrufat, you..." the little girl suddenly said softly. "Want to be king?"

"Me?" Ashuruffat couldn't help shivering. "Why do you ask?"

"If you want to be king, then I..." Her voice stopped, because Ashuruffat pressed a finger on her lips, directly stopping him from speaking.

"You shouldn't say such things!" Ashuruffat said. "Whether it's as a queen, a girl, or a sister. Think of the glorious lineage in you."

"Yes... I'm Meng Lang." The little girl said softly.She took a long breath forcefully.

No, nothing will be worse than last time.She told herself in her heart, and then she slowly regained her composure.

"I was in a mess just now," she said. "When I heard the news... I couldn't even find anyone to talk to."

"Where's Rodia?" Ashuruffat asked.

"She's leaving," the little girl said sadly. "Same as Jana."

It took Ashuruffat a moment to think of the little girl's "former" governess.In fact, he and Jana didn't have much contact with each other, they could only be regarded as knowing each other, not understanding each other.However, from the lessons she gave the little girl, it can be seen that she may be a good tutor, but she is by no means suitable for the education of a king.At least not for a little girl.But later, Jana disappeared from Ashrufat's vision - rumor has it that she went home to get married.He hadn't seen or heard of Jana since then.Of course, Ashuruffat never spent much effort to track down Jana's affairs.

"What do you mean by leaving?"

"She said she was leaving, and she has resigned from me as a temporary tutor." The little girl was a little depressed.After getting along with Rodia for so long, she really liked this woman quite a lot.In a sense, Rodia is very talented in that kind of "treacherous minister", because she is very good at rapping, informing and giving advice. "To go far away is to marry. But I believe she has nothing to do with this matter... because this matter...she mentioned it to me long ago, before you defeated the Chaos Legion."

This explanation made Ashulfat unable to pursue further.

"She's still here, but I...I don't want to bother her anymore," said the little girl.She looked at Ashuruffat again.

In fact, it wasn't the matter itself that really knocked her down—because even the little girl admitted in her heart that her brother was more suitable to be king than her (because unlike others, she didn't feel that she had built much extraordinary power. achievements, so that it should be taken for granted that she should become a queen) - but the process of this matter.Everything happened without her knowing, without anyone asking for her opinion.By the time she knew it, things had reached that point of no return.

If you have to compare it, it feels like Byron's coup before.In an instant, everyone around him becomes an enemy, or suddenly disappears.

If she could still believe that she did not make a mistake that time, and believed that everything was caused by Byron's own ambition and desire, this time, she was even a little unable to convince herself.

Eileen, the Prime Minister whom she single-handedly promoted and appointed, brought along a group of ministers who were also promoted and appointed by her (maybe someone else was promoted, but at least she signed the letter of appointment), and she has stood against her .

If this shock was not enough, Skadra, the old man who had been by her side for the past ten years, always dressed in black and with a rigid face, had also left her now.

The letter stated that during Prince Boer's entrance ceremony, the chief executive of the court, Skadra, was by his side - this is not the entry ceremony of a prince (even if he is the crown prince), but the treatment that a king deserves .Skadra found an excuse to leave the little girl before, and now he is with Prince Boer again. His position is self-evident.

The little girl is still a little girl, and Skadera is still Skadera, but the relationship between them that took more than ten years to build - that kind of trust, that kind of tacit understanding, has disintegrated.Even if they meet again, there is no way to return to the past situation.

Fortunately, there is Ashurfat.Fortunately, he would say "Even if I am against everyone, I am on your side" in front of her.Perhaps, even Ashurfat himself didn't realize how much impact his words had on the little girl's heart.

"I..." The little girl really wanted to ask Ashuruffat what she should do, and wanted Ashuruffat to help her make up her mind, but she had a certain self-esteem that prevented her from saying this request. So although the words were spoken, they changed their appearance. "Is it a qualified queen?"

"It's not just qualified." Ashuruffat said. "It's excellent," he continued. "If you weren't so good, they wouldn't do these things behind your back. Their behavior itself shows a guilty conscience... Just like I said just now, you are the stronger side. As long as If you are willing, as long as you make up your mind, you will definitely win."

He took a step forward, and before the little girl could react, he put his hand on her head.At this moment, he no longer regarded her as the queen, but as the desperate but still strong little girl in the cabin.

"In fact, everything depends on you. As long as you believe that you are a queen, as long as you can regard the throne as the best tomb... If you have this determination, you would rather die than regret... I will always fight for you .”

The little girl was dumbfounded.

When Ashurfat came out, he bumped into Rodia head-on.

As I said before, the others had already been sent away by the little queen, and Rodia came after Ashuruffat came in.So she is the only one here at the door.

Ashurfat just greeted casually and wanted to leave.But before he took a step, he heard Rodia's cold voice behind him.

"Isn't it too much for you to do this?"

"What's too much?" Ashuruffat stopped.

"Let you, a girl, face that... tragic truth."

"Some decisions can only be made by oneself." Ashuruffat replied. "Others can encourage her and support her, but they can't help her decide."

"Speaking is better than singing." Rodia sighed. "You don't understand this incident at all...how much it has caused her a blow. Our chief palace officer...that little girl treats him as an elder like a grandfather or father...he may have his own reasons for betrayal , but no reason will allow me to forgive him! Fortunately, I have you, otherwise, our queen may have a mental breakdown. Also, the old woman is the same... She brought me a letter , I am still hesitating whether to give it to our little queen."

"What do you... know?"

"Skadra... He may hope that the rule of the Mark Remiz family can continue. After all, a queen may mean the transfer of the ruling power. So he has two choices, one is to let a legal orthodox The heir to the throne, the other is to let someone like you who is capable but has no foundation or family background/background enter the family... Obviously, the former is his highest goal, and the latter is his choice under no choice. Although I think he really loves our little queen, but this kind of love can't change his political stance, and can't shake his determination to act."

"This kind of... should be regarded as stubborn."

"Ha, stubbornness is originally his advantage. Don't you choose ministers based on this principle? Look for those who are conservative, stubborn, and loyal to the Mark Remiz family. This was a smart choice. , now it has become... a stupid thing. Hey, the so-called unpredictability of the world is nothing more than this. According to me, you should fight back to Falcon City, and kill all those troublemakers and that ignorant prince. Then the country was quiet."

Ashuruffat smiled, but didn't answer.

"Well, you may not know, Prince Boer...no, Your Majesty the King," Rodia deliberately emphasized the words "Your Majesty the King". "A special envoy has been sent. Well, don't get me wrong, he's not here to ask for trouble, he's not so stupid yet. He's here to reward you. He greatly improved the record of you, Essien, Barranca, and Parry Commendation, I will add rank and rank to you. Of course, not only you, but also other officers... The soldiers also have their own rewards. All the promises made by our little queen before, he has fulfilled them all. Especially the one from Essien Promise, he is now duke."
