Chapter One(1/2)

Suddenly I heard the news that my father had come to the training camp. I couldn't help but feel a little confused. My father is now in charge of the government affairs of two provinces. He must be very busy. How could he have time to see me?

"I'll be there right away." I nodded slightly to Konoe, and I already understood in my heart that my father must have something to tell me.

I dealt with the logistics in a few words, then assigned the others to Carlos, and I walked towards my tent.

As soon as the curtain was opened, my father, who had his back to me, turned around, with a slight smile on his thin face. Although he looked a little tired, he still looked unhurried. In such a situation, he still looked calm.

I really admire this middle-aged man who I call "father" for being able to maintain a calm mind.

"Father." I walked up to him and asked in as relaxed a tone as possible: "Why do you have time for a vacation?"

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to come and see you." My father looked at me from head to toe, with some admiration in his eyes, which I could feel: "I haven't seen you for many days, and you are almost becoming an adult.

"

As a "rogue governor", I have heard too many slanders and curses. I am really not used to this implicit compliment, so I lowered my head in embarrassment.

"Come for a walk with me?" My father was already walking outside the tent: "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and my body is a little stiff."

"Ah...ok!" I hurriedly followed.

The two of them took a walk around the path beside the training camp.

The entire training camp was busy, with soldiers training and shouting for kill everywhere, and the officers' slightly hoarse reprimands seemed particularly loud among them.

"Cohen." My father, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked, "Do you know why I came to see you today?"

I shook my head.

"You are a strong force here, and the Governor's Palace is also very busy." Father said: "And I come to see you at this tense moment, don't you think it's strange?"

"You never do unnecessary things." I thought for a while and then said, "If you really want to discuss something with me, then this matter will definitely save you a lot of worries in the future."

"Your analysis is correct." The father nodded: "But it is a bit utilitarian. Don't I want to see my son who escaped death?"

I couldn't help but scratch my head.

"Let's talk about business! In addition to us, there are other governors in the empire who are loyal to His Majesty. I originally hoped to echo each other." Father frowned: "But I got news yesterday that there are several people around the Holy City who dare to resist.

The province has been completely lost, four governors were killed, and one governor surrendered to Luman. Most of their provinces are in the hinterland of the empire, and Luman has a large number of soldiers, so it is too easy to be besieged."

"In other words." I thought for a moment: "Should we take action?"

"Although the training of the troops has not been completed, it only took a day or two to receive the battle report." My father said: "Officials who escaped from the Holy City or other provinces came to us one after another. According to their reports, Luman has already

My hands are free."

"I am well prepared militarily, and the reconnaissance has been arranged a long time ago." I said, "Luman's march will not be possible in a day or two."

Seeing that I understood what he meant, my father continued: "One more point, regarding the relationship between you and His Majesty, how are you going to deal with it?"

"He is your Majesty and I am a minister, how else can we deal with it?" I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I will find an opportunity to swear allegiance to Your Majesty."

"Don't do that." My father shook his head and said, "This is a stupid idea."

"No way?" I asked, "I have made a lot of determination."

"For His Majesty Fichet now, he would like everyone to swear allegiance to him." His father put his hands behind his back and said, "But that doesn't include you."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty Fichet lost all his relatives in one night. It would be fine if it was someone else. But His Majesty Fichet is a very emotional person. The death of the late emperor and his wife would have cut half of his heart off."

." My father sighed and slowly explained to me: "And what is supporting him now, apart from the persistence of revenge for his parents, is your friendship... If you kneel down to him at this time

Loyalty, what do you think His Majesty Fichet will think? You are taking your friendship away from his body."

"But……"

"I know what you mean. Are you worried that your superiority will make His Majesty Fechet jealous?" his father asked.

"That's right."

"Cohen, you should know that a minister cannot blindly plan for himself, not to mention that you have a deeper friendship with His Majesty Fichet. I believe that His Majesty Fichet will adjust his mentality. What will happen to His Majesty Fichet?"

We also have time to make amends, but you must not attack him now." My father looked at me with firmness in his eyes: "Put aside the oath of allegiance for now, you should be concerned about another thing now."

I hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

"Although the current situation is grim, I am still optimistic about the future war situation. I firmly believe that Cohen, you can lead the army to regain the Holy City and the entire territory of Sbia. What do you think?"

"Yes, I firmly believe this too." I could only nod obediently. My father's understatement was more important than any royal life.

"As I just said, half of what supports His Majesty Fichet now is the desire for revenge. When the moment of victory comes, the obsession in His Majesty Fichet's heart will disappear, and his heart will be missing half again.

At that time, even the existence of your friendship may not be enough to make up for all this." The father's face looked a little melancholy: "Do you understand what I am saying?"

"I know what you are talking about." I thought this matter was so complicated that I had never noticed it: "But I don't understand what exactly you want me to do, Dad."

"To put it simply! His Majesty Fichet's goal in life now is revenge. After we kill Luman, His Majesty Fichet will have no purpose in life. I don't know what he will do then." Father.

He lowered his voice and said: "A body supported by hatred will often collapse at that time."

"So what do we do?"

"As for you, just use your feelings to fill it up as much as possible! I will also find a way." Father sighed again and said: "The scar in His Majesty Fichet's heart can only be cared for with sincere feelings.

It will heal.”

"Wouldn't it be great to find a concubine for His Majesty?" My eyes lit up: "With my significant other, Fichet's feelings will have another sustenance."

"I think so too!" The father nodded approvingly: "But do you know? At present, we only have two provinces, and there is no girl worthy of His Majesty. This involves factors such as property, reputation, family, etc.

If you want to find a good concubine, this is something you can only encounter but cannot ask for."

After listening to my father's words, I lowered my head and thought about it. I really don't have any suitable candidates in my territory.

"So you have to keep this matter in mind. I will write to you when necessary." My father approached me and said: "Once you have a suitable candidate... Cohen, I don't care what method you use, you have to get the person."

I got it!"

"Could it be..." I was surprised: "Is there any other reason for this?"

"Of course." The father suddenly laughed, and smiled very freely: "If you were one of those governors, while you were flirting with Lu Man, you would send your daughter or granddaughter to the Dark Moon to participate in the selection of the princess...

What do you think Ruhmann would think of you?"

"Well done!" I understood and shouted, "You are indeed a dad!"

"It's best if you understand. In addition, you should also handle your own affairs well." Dad said seriously: "Once the war starts, there will be less opportunities for everyone to meet."

My father slowed down and asked me to walk side by side with him: "A few days ago, I insisted on demoting your title. Are you angry?"

"No." I shook my head and said, "I don't care about titles or anything like that. That's not what I like."

"Titles and official positions are not the only things you pursue. I'm glad you think so." My father paused for a moment: "I know everything about you and Feilin, as well as the person I worked with in Wanpu.

My daughter-in-law, whom I have never met."

I was so ashamed that my face turned red.

"Don't be like this. Although you didn't handle this matter well, it's not a big mistake. It's not a big deal." The father smiled and said, "This is a conversation between father and son. Don't be too nervous."

"But I... Feilin and the others refuse to forgive me." I said sadly, "I understand that even if they don't say anything now, they will be unhappy in their hearts."

"It's not just them, even I won't be happy." My father looked at me and said, "Seriously, Cohen, you are my son, and I have watched you grow up. Ever since you were a child, I have always had thoughts about you.

I don’t know whether to suppress or let go of those weird thoughts that pop up, so I only teach you some knowledge without explaining too much to you. Because I know that you have your own opinions on everything.

Opinions and answers.”

I looked back at my father in surprise.

"But I missed one thing. After all, you are still a young man. No matter how sharp your thinking is, your experience is still insufficient. There are too many things you have not experienced." Father patted me on the shoulder: "In all of this,

It's my fault that I let you go in everything."

"Father……"

"Let's not talk about this anymore." The father looked away: "How do you plan to deal with Feilin and the others?"

What can I do about it?

The wind in the wilderness blew past me, lifting the cloak behind me. Looking at the blood stains on the embroidery of the cloak, I shook my head helplessly.

"Tell you a few words!" My father leaned over and said, "Treat each other with courtesy, treat each other with sincerity, share weal and woe, and never leave."

"It's that simple?"

"You and Feilin were originally friends. Due to the order of the former imperial concubine, they became a couple in name only. This process itself requires an adaptation process. But you are too busy and have no time to get along, plus other reasons.

So the relationship has become the current state of neither advancement nor inferiority." Father nodded: "Give more time, and everyone will find their respective positions."

"It's impossible...Dad, you know, Feilin and the others..."

My father raised his hand to stop me from talking any more.

"I know everything. Just remember what I said. You said it was your fault. How are you so sure that Feilin is right?" The father blinked: "How can a man let his wife suppress him?"

I smiled bitterly.

"Let me tell you a story. Let's talk about three sisters in a family." My father looked at me and said, "The three sisters are all married to the same man. The eldest sister is a smart and calm person, but more serious. She thinks that doing housework is the most important thing.

As much as she loves her husband, she always wants to change her husband according to her own ideas, and also asks her husband to accommodate her, which causes disharmony in the relationship between husband and wife. But what about the second sister? She always listens to the opinions of the eldest sister and treats her
