The departure of a certain magician was just like the characteristics of his flash technique. He suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In exchange for the few large boxes on the ground, he only took away the largest and most valuable black dragon magic crystal.
Because that person said that only the black dragon crystal had research value, and the other items were useless and had no way of getting rid of it. Therefore, it was left to the empress as a fund for the future operation of the empress camp's members.
Generally speaking, the two broke up peacefully without any delay.
Looking at the empty seats, Alegria waved her hand and asked the waiters to exit the study. But she grabbed the sea tribe female Iris, hugged her into her arms, and held her tightly.
He buried his face in Calamus's chest and rubbed it to his heart's content, leaving only his red hair and a crown made of twisted silver wire. Alegria complained: "What a heartless man."
"Why doesn't Your Majesty let him stay? If you ask, that person would be willing to come." Calamus said weakly.
In the previous encounter, although the injuries on her body were no longer traceable under the careful care of the Bishop of Life, the wounds in her heart were not so easy to heal. As a result, her whole temperament was very different from the past, and she became timid.
few.
The other members of the royal family, including Prince Behar, all returned to their respective territories and lay down. Because they danced happily before, they threw their gloves at the magician to challenge them. But now they are in panic all the time, for fear of being beaten by that person.
Come to the door.
Therefore, people in the royal family united and asked the empress to come forward to solve this matter. In addition to paying enough wealth to make them vomit blood, one of the conditions was that they were not allowed to set foot in Neuquen Imperial City for life.
Although Prince Behar did not attend the royal meeting, he certainly had no chance to challenge the magician. However, the prince's movements were also involved in the transactions between the empress and other royal members. Therefore, the child in his early ten years was surrounded by a group of uncles and uncles.
, cousin's, escorted back to his own territory to be guarded.
In the past, the reason why the prince caused trouble everywhere was actually the result of the connivance of many people. Now if those conniving people stop their hands, can a ten-year-old child rise to the top of the world? Is the royal blood really so valuable?
What a joke! In the eyes of big shots of the same class, a brat is still a brat.
It is estimated that the lonely tower in Prince Behar's own territory is the only place where he will stay for the rest of his life. This is also because the girl does not want to dirty her hands, let alone give the other party a happy life and be tortured alive.
, would be more uncomfortable than dying.
In exchange, the magician must leave the empire!
Of course, those who acted as lobbyists implicitly asked the Empress to poison the man to avoid future troubles. But no one dared to say this explicitly, for fear that the Empress would mention it and no one would be able to stop the magician from going berserk.
Without saying it clearly, the empress was happy to pretend to be stupid. No one in their right mind would do this kind of thing of destroying the city wall. Alegria knew very well that she was now in the majority with that person's influence. The title of emperor,
It's not as useful as that person's evil name.
But when it comes to tying that man to her side...not to mention that she mentioned it casually before, but was decisively rejected. And various signs after that showed that Alegria understood that she could not keep that man.
.
No one wants to have a sword dangling over their head and not know when it will fall. Even a brave and careful empress is no exception.
After knowing that the man had enough troops to destroy the power of a grand duke in a short time, and that his own strength was enough to rival the Lord of Guardians, the empress knew that such a man was not something she could control.
Since I can't keep him, I can't control him, and he has the intention to leave, how long can I keep him with the pleasure in bed?
As for money, power, etc., that person never cared about it at all. This meant that there was no way to buy him with these things.
Separation is a foregone conclusion, and Alegria must of course find a way that is most beneficial to him to end this relationship. The first thing is not to cause trouble, and he still needs to keep his backer.
But we can't let the other party continue to stay in the empire. The mood of other people still needs to be taken care of. Not to mention that this can also be used as a condition to exchange things or power in the hands of other people.
After worrying about it for a long time, Alegria realized that with that person's character and thoughts, it would be better to just talk about this kind of thing directly. If the person has other opinions, we can discuss it later. That's why last night's summons and the meeting just now were held.
requirements.
With that man's shrewdness, he could not fail to see what was the best way to deal with the current situation. But he didn't expect that he agreed so readily without any hesitation. Even the speed at which he walked seemed to be impatient.
Thinking of this, Alegria felt as if a breath had been blocked in her chest, and she felt depressed. Suddenly, there was a rush of air in her stomach, and she felt nauseated. The empress stared, covered her mouth, and waved her other hand randomly.
Calamus, who was sitting in the Empress's arms and being held like a baby, immediately jumped up, picked up the spittoon on the side, and came to the Empress.
Alegria almost buried his face in the spittoon and retched several times, but nothing came out. He pushed the basin and put the calamus down casually, then took out the silk handkerchief and wiped it gently.
Touching the corner of the empress's mouth.
The empress, who was retching for a while, did not feel any discomfort at all. Instead, she looked happy, holding her hands on her belly and looking at her with loving eyes.
But Chang Pu frowned slightly, looking slightly troubled and said, "Your Majesty, won't you tell him?"
This question made Alegria feel like his hair was exploding. Although he did not jump up, he still stared at those beautiful eyes and tall eyebrows and said: "Who should I tell? Who do I need to tell? The man I slept with
There are so many, how do I know who to tell."
Realizing that he was so excited that he almost frightened his best friend. Alegria took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said, "It doesn't matter who the father of this child is. The most important thing is that he
It is my child. It is a child that many people never want to see, and it is also a treasure that I must risk everything to protect."
Although the Karlsruhe Empire selects virtuous sons to inherit the family business, there is still a difference between closeness and distance. As everyone knows, the empress has no heir, so that group of royal family members are jumping up and down.
If the empress has a child, regardless of gender, as long as there are no congenital defects and no bad things, there will be no big problem in succeeding to the throne in the future. That's why Alegria said that there will be a lot of people who will not be happy to see this child.
, this is why we need more protection.
Although she was taken aback, Chang Pu certainly understood this truth. She muttered quietly: "There are many men, but it's not that complicated during this period."
However, such trivial matters were not the focus of the discussion. For the sake of the empress, Chang Pu continued to suggest: "Your Majesty, if you are worried about this child, wouldn't the magician's presence be the best protection? And as long as he is there, maybe
You don’t have to give up the power that belongs to the emperor to promote the establishment of a constitution. Wouldn’t it be better to let the prince inherit the complete empire?”
Regarding this idea, the empress shook her head without hesitation. She had already thought about the relevant matters thoroughly. Now she explained it to her best friend and clarified her thoughts again. She said: "That person once said,
What he wants to do, once it has begun, there is no turning back. Now think about it, if we tell everyone that there is no need to elect members, no need to form parliament, everything will continue as before. Even if that person suppresses it with force, how long can it be suppressed? "
When people see too much and become wild-minded, it is difficult to keep their minds in check. Therefore, rulers from ancient times to the present keep saying that the people are stupid. It is not that they really look down on the people, but they just sincerely hope that the people are stupid enough and obey them obediently.
Just rule.
However, the method of establishing a constitutional monarchy means that the power of the emperor is about to be distributed to everyone. If you stop at this time, even if it does not cause public outrage, it will definitely bury resentment in everyone's heart. Even if it is suppressed for a while, it will definitely explode when it breaks out in the future.
More violent.
The empress is not the type to care about the flood after her death, so she is unwilling to make a choice that has sequelae.
Besides, Alegria couldn’t understand or couldn’t tell clearly. Alegria herself didn’t know yet. She said, “Even if you don’t think about others, let’s just talk about that person. When I said I wanted to avenge you and Lisa,
At that time, he didn't spend much time to come up with such a set of methods. Do you think this is something that can be thought of just by patting your head? Even if the general idea is OK, but those clearly written laws are also OK? He
I have been preparing for these things for a long time, and even if I don't speak, he may have other ways to implement it. But then I may stand on his opposite side, try to stop it all, and then lament my own powerlessness."
At this point, Calamus shook his nose and complained dissatisfied: "He is so capable. If he really wants to avenge Lisa, why doesn't he do it directly?"
Prince Behar can safely return to his own territory, which also makes Acorus a little dissatisfied. But this matter is also related to the attitude of the empress, so it is difficult to say it directly.
Alegria consoled him: "It's not his fault. Even if I had known that he had such ability, I would not have wanted him to take action. Just killing a few leaders will not help the general situation and will not change anything."
What he wants to do is to make a real earth-shaking change. Don't think that the emperor's power seems to have become smaller. In fact, as long as he knows how to operate it, it is still the same as in the past. Power will not disappear out of thin air, it will just appear in other ways in other ways.
It’s just a place.”
"What about the others? Everyone's conditions are the same, right?" Calamus questioned.
The empress explained: "Yes, everyone's conditions are the same. It can be said that the future political situation will be controlled by smart people. But doing so will allow a group of idiots who have no knowledge and skills except their family background to get out of the core of power.
People like this are incapable of getting things done, holding them back and doing a disservice. Without such fools, things won't go to extremes easily."
Alegria hugged her belly with pity, looked down at the child who was still quite some time away from birth, and said: "He is my child, and I am willing to give him the best. But how old is he?"
I can't guarantee how smart he is and how many skills he can learn. If he is smart enough, he can still play with the new structure of the empire in the future. If he is not smart enough, the new structure can also ensure the emperor's honor to the greatest extent.
I have nothing to worry about in life. I don’t have the ability to create an iron-barrel-like country for him. This is the best I can do.”
