Chapter 256 [The Prince's Request] (Part 2)

At this moment, the starry sky is in front of you, the night is cold and the cool breeze is penetrated.!

Just next to the woods in the wilderness, Chen Daolin and Prince Shilo were sitting looking at each other, and the elite soldiers around him stood in the distance, with a sense of murderous intention in the air!

Chen Daolin looked at the prince of the Empire in front of him in surprise, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why his request was.

Not to mention anything else, if even Carmen concealed it, wouldn’t it be... You know, Carmen is the number one figure in the Magic Academy! If Carmen knew that it was Hilo who saved his life, it would be considered as owing him a huge favor! It can even be said that the entire Magic Academy owed His Royal Highness the Prince a huge favor!

It is conceivable that this favor is so precious that such an influential figure as Dean Carmen owes a life-saving grace! How amazing is this value!

And this Prince Hilo doesn't want all these?

"You know, I... am a prince."

It seemed as if it had been a long time before Shiloh sighed and said this sentence.

"I do not understand."

Shilo laughed: "You have been in the Imperial Capital for a lot of days. I think I should have some understanding of the current situation in the Imperial Capital."

Chen Daolin nodded.

Shilo's eyes were even more strange. He looked at Chen Daolin and then slowly continued: "Some words don't have to be so foggy. Master Darling's young genius is naturally not those mediocre people, so our conversation can save those concealment. Master Darling... I just want you to understand, I..."

Speaking of this, Hilo's eyes seemed to be helpless: "I... don't want to get involved in these troubles."

Chen Daolin frowned.

Seeing that Chen Daolin was not speaking, Shilo said quietly: "I am twenty-eight years old this year. I have come to this royal family since I was born. From the beginning, I have taken the initiative to have a noble identity and title. When I was ten years old, my royal brother was twenty years old and became the crown prince and experienced in the Thunder Whip Legion. At that time, although I lived a life of great wealth, the people around me, whether they were my teacher, father, or others, kept reminding me in various ways to keep their duties. They hinted me in various ways, let me understand, let me remember: I am the prince of the empire, and will be a noble prince in the future... But only to the prince! There is no possibility of further progress!"

Chen Daolin's expression frightened. He was surprised and surprised when he heard Hilo talk about this topic.

"I have never had any unfair thoughts, and I am also satisfied with being a free prince and a free prince in the future. But... I am in the royal family, I can't hide any disputes no matter how you hide!" Shilo's eyes darkened: "The emperor is the crown prince. He wants to inherit the throne. He will naturally train a group of teams. In the aristocratic class, in the official, in the army... However, there are battles where there are people! Although the emperor brother has gathered a group of teams around him, there must be many people standing opposite him. Even if he doesn't want to be an enemy of him, the emperor's teams... In the future, the emperor's teams...

To be on the throne, to be in power, to become the boss who protects the future of the emperor, you must squeeze out many people, and to seize the interests of many people, and to lose the interests of people. Therefore, these people are always unwilling to give up. If they want to protect their power and their own interests, they can only fight against my brother and his team. However, to fight against a future emperor, no matter what they do, they will eventually lose. If they want to win, there is only one way... Unless they themselves promote a crown prince and a new emperor!"

Chen Daolin's eyes twitched slightly.

But Shilo was still slowly narrating: "Since I was ten years old, many people, openly and secretly, tried to approach me, please me, even bewitch me, and encourage me. They tried to push me out, try to promote me, and try to promote me to be loyal to me... I don't want to fight, but they tried to make me fight, I don't want to do it, and they always encourage me to do it. Even if it's too soft, they use hard methods! When I was twelve years old, someone was outside holding my banner to recruit alliances, and a group of people had already united to support me in fighting for the position of crown prince. What's ridiculous is that most of those people I don't know at all, and a few people knew just met them hastily and said a few words in a confused manner when they were arranged by them."

Chen Daolin still didn't say anything... He really didn't know how to deal with such topics, so he simply closed his mouth.

"When he was twelve years old, his father once beat me. He executed several nobles who were acting outside in my name in one breath, took away the fiefs, and cleaned the generals of the Thunder Whip. His father even warned me in person one night, and told me that there were some things that were not allowed to fight, which belonged to my brother. If I didn't fight, I could be rich and prosperous for the rest of my life. If I dared fight, I might die."

Chen Daolin sighed secretly.

But he can understand.

Over the past century, the Roland Empire has set the empire's national policy on the route of stable development, both in all aspects.

The empire needs long-term stable development. And internal stability is even more needed, so a stable order of change of imperial power is extremely important. The handsome emperor is now established as the crown prince very early on, and he received the education of the crown prince. The old emperor also deliberately acquiesced to him to train the team. Such a series of practices are to cultivate an excellent successor to the throne for the empire.

In this case, the empire does not need it, nor will it allow an imperial challenger to appear! This will only lead to internal strife and internal friction.

Therefore, this Prince Hilo is destined to be hopeless.

Hilo said this and smiled gently: "Fortunately, I have never had any ambitions. I have never been interested in things like the throne. I like to be free and easy, and like to do what I want to do. I see that the emperor's brother is young and has to endure so much hardship and do so many things every day... He had white hair when he was only in his early twenties. In order to maintain the perfect image of the crown prince, he cannot play casually, cannot get close to women, and cannot like music... Otherwise, people will be said to be a plaything. It would be better if he didn't do such a crown prince. So I never compete, so I have been avoiding it.

"When I was fifteen years old, my father passed away. The emperor became the new emperor and I became the prince of the empire. After the emperor took office, in order to consolidate the throne, he cleaned up a group of people who were against him. This is not surprising. Any emperor would do this. Any emperor would always have some enemies. However, I knew that this kind of thing would cause me a lot of trouble. Indeed, some people had contacted me secretly, and some tried to stand by me. I chose to escape. I left the imperial capital and played everywhere, all over the world, but refused to stay in the imperial capital, and stay in the center of this vortex.

Three years ago, the emperor's brother had an accident, his child died, and he fell off a horse and was injured. After he was seriously injured, he had no future... So my troubles came again! No matter where I hid, there were always some people and forces who would find me and try to convince me to get closer to me. They wanted to push me up and bring me out. In the past few years, I have been running from south to north, from east to west... You may not imagine that I, a dignified imperial prince, is like a fugitive, always avoiding those who want to support me as the emperor."

Speaking of this, Shilo glanced at Chen Daolin and smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want to go back to the imperial capital this time. Because I know that the recent matter of becoming a crown prince has become a mess. At this time, I really want to worry. I have been running back to the southern swamp for several months... But in the end, it was a handwritten letter from the emperor brother. He ordered me to rush back to the imperial capital before the New Year, and I had to return. At last, at the banquet last night, many people gave me various hints. Some made various promises with me in person, and some had to make an appointment with me to meet in private... Poor, a prince of my empire, did not dare to live in the imperial capital, and could only escape from the imperial capital overnight and live in the royal villa on the outskirts of the city. I made up my mind that before the New Year celebration, I would not go to the imperial capital even if I beat me to death!"

When Chen Daolin heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "That...Your Highness, do you really... really have no idea about the throne?"

Shilo smiled, and he looked at Chen Daolin: "If I told you nothing, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Chen Daolin shook his head: "That's the throne after all! The supreme throne is the supreme throne, commanding the world to live and kill and take away life and death!"

"Yes, I don't believe it myself." Shilo blinked at Chen Daolin and laughed in a low voice: "Actually... I'll tell you the truth. When I was young, I did have some temptations and some ideas."

"oh?"

Chen Daolin's heart moved and he became curious.

This recognized prince who has always been disdainful of the throne actually...has he really wanted to be an emperor?

"That was when I was eleven or twelve years old. What did the little child know, and he was deliberately bewitched by some people who were interested in approaching him. He only felt that the throne was so tempting. Once he sat on it, he could command the world. How powerful it was. Some people even sinisterly aroused my jealousy towards my brother, which made me unable to help but think: Both are the sons of the father, why must the throne be his? Why is the father so partial? I have never thought about this before."

Chen Daolin was stunned.

"But...At that time, I was very young and didn't know much about the sins of the world." Shilo smiled bitterly: "My father woke me up in time with a bloody blow! I told you just now that when I was twelve years old, the father cleaned up several nobles who tried to support me in one breath. And on that night, I was called by my father. I saw with my own eyes that the people who had deceived me were stripped of their clothes and knelt in the snow! The father ordered the Imperial Guards to strangle these people in the snow in front of me! At that time, the father told me with this fact: You are not allowed to rob your brother's things!"

Chen Daolin felt a stern heart.

Shilo smiled bitterly: "I was frightened at that time. For a long time afterwards, I was very scared of my father and even hated him for a while. I hated him for why he treated me like this. But later, I finally understood. Just after my father died, my brother and I were in front of my father's bed..."

Chen Daolin felt a thump in his heart when he heard this!

"The father held my brother's hand, first explained some major national affairs to him, and then... he grabbed the brother with one hand and pointed at me with the other, and said to the brother: The throne has been given to you, so you must ensure that your brother will be safe for the rest of his life! Unless it is a serious crime of treason, you must not harm him for the rest of your life!"

Speaking of this, Hilo's face became more and more dim. He whispered: "Then, the father actually asked the emperor to go out first, leaving me alone to kneel in front of his bed. He finally held my hand and said to me: I know you hated me, but in fact, I always loved you the most. People in the folk have the habit of favoring young children, let alone me. It is precisely because I prefer you to you that I don't want you to get involved in those powerful struggles. As your father, I just hope you will have a happy and simple life in your life. ··········· Then, my father holds my hand and closes his mind."

Chen Daolin's heart jumped a few times.

Shilo seemed to turn his face and look at the dark wilderness in the distance. After a while, he whispered: "So, I never had the idea of ​​competing with the emperor again. I have lived freely and never pursued those things over the years. Sometimes, I would have thought about what would happen if I was the emperor, but I quickly told myself that I could not do better than the emperor. For the empire, he was an excellent and good emperor, and I was a free and prosperous prince. I had already lived a very happy life."

After saying this, Shilo turned around and stared at Chen Daolin: "Mr. Darling, do you believe me?"

Looking at Hiro's clear eyes, Chen Daolin nodded: "I believe it!"

"So... I've been hiding for so many years, and I don't want to get involved in anything at this critical moment." Shilo smiled faintly: "Then please agree to my request!"

Chen Daolin thought for a while, but suddenly his face changed!
