Path of The Dragonborn

In any case, although Mateus has shown a considerable degree of respect and friendliness towards Heliga, it seems that this relationship has not yet reached the level of negotiating matters related to the relationship with the royal family without any hesitation. Maybe Mulla and Sykes wouldn't mind chatting more with themselves, but Thor obviously has his own little abacus. In this regard, Heilijia has no other ideas. The conversation just now was just a casual chat after the encounter, his real purpose is in this room before him.

"What!" When Heilijia opened the door, he happened to hear an exclamation—the source of the sound was also easy to understand. It seemed that it was clearly what Prince Cedric had just said to Queen Alfin. With such a big response.

Heilijia calmly put on a silent magic, so as not to attract unnecessary attention, so that he would have to spend extra energy to comfort the hospital staff. He approached the dragon and phoenix amidst Alfin's surprise and Cedric's sluggishness, and then simply saluted the imperial soldier's etiquette. Straighten your body, spread your legs slightly, and put your hands behind your back—this is the customary etiquette action of imperial soldiers towards members of the royal family. In the noble ritual, the actions facing the crown prince, the emperor and the general royal family members are all separated. Faced with two royal family members, taking turns to do it seems a bit funny.

Besides, he is indeed a brigadier general of the imperial army specially promoted by the emperor-the same rank as Roland Vandel in the "Lion Battle". It seemed that this was just what the emperor did deliberately. Heliga thought of the military uniform with a five-pointed star embroidered on his shoulder in the hotel room. However, although Roland was also very young at that time, there was no special standard military rank system established at that time. It would be too inappropriate for Roland, who once led close to ten thousand soldiers, to have no generals on his shoulders. So Ers used foil to temporarily decorate his military uniform with stars, leaving a nice talk. After that, the empire’s military rank promotion system has become a fixed template along with the reforms of the military system. With its own standards and industry norms, even the emperor will not easily promote this kind of thing. Do it.

Therefore, the 17-year-old Heliga carried a brigadier star on his shoulder. It’s just that Heliga did command the strategic transfer missions of the 6th and 7th Mecha Divisions in the Civil War and successfully rescued nearly 80,000 viable forces from Alleria’s encirclement. This result is also true. It’s unique. Prime Minister Osborne mentioned the surprised expressions of the military veterans when they heard about it. It was probably because of this fact that this kind of outrageous personnel appointment was not questioned by the military. details.

Alfin had obviously heard about it a long time ago, so he didn't express any unusual emotions about it; and Cedric was a little confused. However, he soon discovered that his sister was looking at him with a subtle and sympathetic look. Before he could ask the reason, Heliga spoke.

"Your Majesty, good afternoon." Heliga put on a slightly serious manner, "I heard His Royal Highness Olibate say that His Royal Highness Cedric has awakened from a coma, so he specially came to visit and condolences... I didn't expect I interrupted the conversation between the two of you."

"Well... Heliga, you came just right. It just happened that I just told Cedric an important thing." Alfin said in a brisk tone. Obviously, she didn't regard it as a royal family to meet others, just The level of normal friend conversation, "You don’t seem to be clear about it?"

"?" Heliga put on a puzzled look.

"Actually... I plan to drop out of the Women's College after the end of this semester." Alfin seemed to be dull, and then said the words that had just caused Cedric's surprise again.

——————————

Heliga was also surprised by this, but he did not make any particularly big reactions to this. He just stared at Alfin with doubts for a moment, and then with the help of knowing spells and intuition intentionally or unconsciously, he concluded that this was not a joke made by Alfin on a whim, but she had indeed thought about it. Later, this decision was made.

"Why did you suddenly decide like this?" Heliga was silent for a moment, and then asked in a gentle, gentle tone-from a personal standpoint, he didn't plan to decide how to decide Alfin's thoughts; besides, Heliga looked at her. Apparently, he had already talked with the emperor Ukent, and the idea was approved by the emperor. Only then would he announce the decision so confidently and indifferently. Obviously, it is not the state that he has not made up his mind yet and needs to negotiate. He was just purely curious.

"Um... probably speaking, things in the civil war changed my mind." Alphan seemed to be embarrassed to look directly at Heliga's straight gaze, and slightly deflected his gaze." Heilija, I wonder if you remember the aftermath of the incident in Kruchen State, Mr. Juses and their aftermath."

"Um...is it the period after the former duke was arrested?" Heilija recalled for a moment-after drawing a rough outline, he didn't do much. As the acting lord, Juss was the surrogate lord. The actual planners of all actions, and there are many people helping in specific actions. It seems that Alfin is also involved in some. However, at that time, my attention was focused on the battle between the riding gods and how to deal with the balance of power after his return, knowing that the prime minister was not dead, and I had no time to take care of these less important tasks. I remember that Euses seemed to be in charge of a lot of the aftermath, including the re-planning of the city’s administrative system, and balancing the duke’s home with local lords and other things..."

"Yes. At that time, I was able to re-examine my identity and position." Alfin turned his head and stared directly at Heliga's eyes, but was still a little nervous, "I...I Just ask. Although at that time, you said that you were sheltering me at the request of Brother Olibat, and the extent of my participation was also approved by the emperor... But in fact, you asked me to do some things. , Is it actually derived from your own ideas?"

"His Royal Highness..." Heliga was startled by the somewhat straightforward words. However, before he could figure out how to answer this sharp question at first, Alfin interrupted his thoughts again: "To put it bluntly, you think I have "Ereboni" The value of the identity of the "Asian imperial royal family" will allow me to do things such as stabilizing the military spirit on the battlefield and easing the conflicts between the nobles, right? "

"...Your Majesty, I know why you dared to make the decision to drop out of the women's college." Heliga watched the timidity and anxiety in Alfin's eyes gradually disappear, replaced by a calm and indifferent like a pool of water, suddenly He smiled, "Excuse me for taking the liberty... You should just grow up... No, you have recognized the essence of the imperial family in this country. Isn't it?"

"Yes." Alfin was a little shy, but still generously admitted this, "I know very well that I did not order the soldiers to stop fighting and let the nobles let go of some benefits and the ability to ease emotions. In essence, I am still a man. It’s just a little girl who doesn’t know much about the world. It’s just that the special identity of the "royal family" plays a role in this...but I am not a man and I can have such an influence. To put it bluntly... "

"It's a political tool under the skin of the royal family and flowing with the blood of Yanor." Alfin said but he stopped, but Heliga had already read what she was going to say-although bravely speaking these were originally reality, But the fact that Alfin, who has always been well protected and never really realized it, did make Heliga look at him, but she was still nervous and uneasy in her heart-although she seemed to have convinced Olibate and the emperor, Repeat it in front of myself, but I will still be nervous.

"That's it." Alfin froze for a moment, and then slowly said-"What I said to Cedric just now is what I mean. However, if you consider it from a utilitarian point of view, this is actually quite letting People admire it. Even though it’s just the light of those great ancestors, but the surname Yanor alone can bring these things-it’s no wonder that those nobles desperately had to support a member of the royal family to come to power during the "Lion Battle." . "

"The more glorious and correct Yanor's name is, the mediocre ones among them will become puppets and tools for the nobles, as well as decorations used to decorate the facade." Cedric repeated Alfin previously. He was shocked, "How could my sister have such thoughts..."

"No, Your Highness, that's the truth." Heliga chuckled—she seemed to be wrong. She was not asking her previous contradictions, but using herself to strengthen her explanation to Cedric. Persuasiveness, "It is a fact that is not changed by human will. Even before the Great Drekers, the outstanding Yanor ancestors have given this surname a value. Even if it removes the mythology with a lot of reasons The composition of the "Mediator" deity, only with "Conqueror" Juno II, "Legislator" Kellerman the Great, "Revivor" Hector I... The glorious resumes of these people are enough for the people of the empire. Form the inertia to worship the name of Yanor. Only a monarch who is so stupid and incompetent like Bolius V will have a terrible reputation among the people..."

"Therefore, no matter what, the name "Yanor" alone is a lot of wealth...Even if the one who owns it is a little girl who doesn't know the world, doesn't know how to govern the ruler or govern, she can make it. The role of the Dinghai Shenzhen on the battlefield and diplomatic field-if after realizing this, and letting Heilijia and his brother's painstaking efforts were in vain, then I would be too stupid. "Alphine also smiled-she didn't plan to quarrel with Heliga because of this at first, but just teased Cedric a little bit. "So, the education of St. Astoria is for me now. Say, it's useless anymore. From the perspective of the traditional values ​​of the empire, it cultivated qualified ladies of the nobility vase, a decorative object that met the expectations of the men of the empire aristocracy; but it was already a backward and decadent thing that was about to be swept into the dust of history. Unless drastic and radical reforms are carried out, it will not be able to adapt to the new era. "

"His Royal Highness, I appreciate your courage." Helija nodded-he also felt a little out of place for the position of the Women's Academy, "but you must also understand what rumors will appear after the decision is made. ?"

"Probably in the eyes of those conservative nobles, I am going to be a rebellious, spoiled child, or even a self-righteous bad girl who abandons the glorious traditions of the empire?" Alphan's eyes flashed a hint of Heliga never The contempt that you have seen-that is the aura and superiority that a person in a high position should have, but has never seen in the eyes of Alphan and Cedric, "But that doesn't matter... I figured it out After this, I didn’t intend to be a tool for the nobles to pass on from generation to generation and show off their family. Today’s world has changed-the president of "RF" and the revolutionary leader of Kalvard are all women. , They all have considerable achievements, and my innate condition as Yanor is much stronger than them. I have to make good use of this advantage-an advantage that only "Yanor" can have. "

"..." Heliga did not immediately answer Alphan's bold words-he turned his eyes to the side, Cedric who seemed to be completely at a loss. Obviously, these words, Alfin did not say to Cedric just now; Seeing that her sister, who has always been gentle and harmless, can also show such ambitions, Cedric can't help but doubt that he is here. dream.

"His Royal Highness, do you think Alfin just now, is there any shadow of His Highness Olibate, or even Prime Minister Osborne?" Heliga touched Cedric who was in a daze.

"Well... this... Although it looks really amazing, it always feels too unreal... Alfin would say such things... Isn't it really a whim?" The last sentence is a post. In addition, from the look of hesitation, it should have been asked Alfin before, but it seems that there is really no way to accept this fact.

"I didn't intend to interfere with His Highness's thoughts... However, since I can convince His Majesty Ukent and His Royal Highness Olibate, His Highness Alfin has undoubtedly expressed all the thoughts in front of them. So since they are two Bit capital—"

"No." Alfin suddenly interrupted Heliga's words at this time-in the latter's surprised eyes, Alfin said with some embarrassment: "I told my father that I would drop out of the women's college. That's right, but I... didn't say the words just now in front of my father and elder brother. Those words that expanded my ambition in the name of the royal family.

"...I understand. Let's talk about it later." Heliga thought about it a little bit and understood what was going on. He pretended to be dignified, but in fact he nodded his head with ease, and then said, "But before that... Your Majesty, except that I really intend to visit, I'm here to listen to your reply. Your Majesty must have told you about him long ago. Decided."
