Levin Ornesson Sifah, the nominal brother of Princess Griffith in history.
Compared with the illustrious reputation before the civil war in Eruin, after the war, the name of the eldest son of the king has disappeared. Some people say that he died in the rebellion, while others say that he is a puppet of the Grand Duke and Queen of Sifah.
Some people also say that the princess spared his life and let him live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. However, just like the historical truth behind these romantic folklore, the real story often makes people feel natural and unexpected.
After Wood's introduction, Brando and Her Royal Highness the Princess waited in the vestibule for about a quarter of an hour. During this period, no one spoke, and only the sound of the officiant pruning branches and leaves was heard. Because no one could figure out this great Ampesel.
The chief priest's intention was that it was not a wise thing to allow a person with a sensitive identity such as Wang's eldest son to appear in the public eye.
Her Highness the Princess may not want to see her brother, but as their enemy not long ago, is the latter really willing to help them? Although it is possible, there must be certain conditions.
Brando could not guarantee that Her Royal Highness the Princess would be willing to compromise with her enemy. But after a while, he heard soft footsteps coming from behind the holly tree wall. Everyone turned around and saw a maid leading the way.
A young nobleman walked around the wall of leaves decorated with shrubs and appeared in front of him and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Although he had never seen it before, Brando immediately realized that it might be the prince in history. It can be said that the other person's clothes were not gorgeous: a simple military uniform, lavender, and long hair.
The cloak hangs down to the green meadow and blends into the afternoon sunshine. He looks like a knight with certain assets in places like Braggs, Magitan or Fort Kurk, rather than an arrogant one.
Crown Prince.
There is a sword hanging on the young man's waist, but it is not an exquisite flower stand. It is a real cavalry sword. The leather on the hilt is so worn that it doesn't look like it belongs to the royal family. But this cannot be done.
It can simply be judged that the owner of the sword is a master of swordsmanship. Because the calm and calm face has a pair of closed eyes, and the long eyelashes are hanging softly, as if he is asleep - or blind.
His Royal Highness the Prince is very handsome. It can even be said that he is magnificent, but he is a blind man. A blind man obviously cannot practice swordsmanship, and it is difficult to imagine being involved in a series of complex conspiracies, let alone becoming the king of Eruin.
.
Brando couldn't help but cast a glance at Her Royal Highness the Princess beside him. The look on the Princess's face was also very surprised. A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she still asked: "...Brother Levin, your eyes?"
His tone was hesitant and surprised.
"Some small things happened, don't mind it, Griffin." Prince Levin didn't seem to care, with a faint smile on his face: "But after losing my eyes, I can see wider, and people in the world often feel sorry for themselves.
I was deceived by everything I saw.”
He added: "We haven't seen each other for nearly ten years after we said goodbye to Griffith in Winterhold. Calculating the time, you should be seventeen years old this year. You must have grown a lot taller than then, and you should also be more beautiful.
Yes. I have often heard people talk about you recently."
His tone was very casual, as if he was really talking to his sister - not his enemy. Although in a sense, his embarrassing identity today was caused by this sister.
Princess Griffin was silent for a while and then said: "That's over, brother, you did a lot of things wrong this time. The kingdom, father, people, and everyone will not forgive you, and everything
, and will eventually get on the right track.”
"I will not shirk responsibility, but as the son of man, I must support my mother. Even now she has failed. Grand Duke Sifah was defeated and died, and I have become a prisoner. Griffith, you must
You think I'm resentful, but that's not the case. I'm not here today to get forgiveness. I hope you understand this. No matter how the situation changes, I am still a member of Eruin's royal family." Levin lowered his eyelids and smiled.
.
"Then what do you mean..." Princess Griffin was slightly startled, and she glanced at Brando who was standing aside with a little doubt.
Brando also frowned, also guessing the purpose of His Highness the Prince's visit. He thought about what kind of person Levin Onneson Sifah was in history. There were various rumors about him, but the real positive
There were very few descriptions of His Highness the Prince. At least before this, he had never known that His Highness the Prince was actually blind, and it seemed that he was not blind recently.
And what kind of character does such a prince have? Is he headstrong or arrogant? There are countless legends in history. At least judging from the opponent's current performance, this prince is obviously not a simple guy. And the opponent is
It is really hard to say whether he was involved in the conspiracy between Grand Duke Sifah and the Queen.
But in any case, the identity of the other party is very sensitive at this time. The only child of the queen and Obergu VII, the only qualified heir of the Sifah family, I think the other party should also understand this.
What other purpose does the other party have besides transaction? But the key is the content of the transaction. What does His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the King, really want?
If you want to re-inherit the Sifah family, such an idea is too naive. But since the eldest son of the king said that he did not expect forgiveness, he would not make such a naive request.
Brando raised his head. At this time, the maid next to Levin said something to the prince. He saw the eldest son of the king turning back and smiling at him: "This is Mr. Brando? I heard someone say that
After your deeds, your performance in the battle of Ampelsel has been regarded as a heroic act, even the late Lord Ek was nothing more than that."
Brando glanced at Princess Griffin and saw that the half-elf girl was not unhappy at all, but had a look of approval. He turned around and replied calmly: "Your Highness, you are so complimentary, Ampelsel
The hero is not one person, let alone not so exaggerated. Everyone is just trying to save themselves."
"I deeply agree that it is precisely because we know how to save ourselves and struggle that civilization continues to this day. The history of human beings and other intelligent races itself is a heavy epic. The emergence of thousands of heroes is not accidental, but a kind of
Needed." Levin smiled and nodded. Brando accidentally noticed that His Highness the Prince had long, sparkling dark black hair, which was draped over his shoulders like a waterfall. Such hair color is very popular in Eruin.
It is very rare, and there is a touch of deep purple flowing between the hair strands.
"Brother." Princess Griffin interrupted the exchange of compliments. This was not what she wanted to hear: "Priest Wood said you have a way to solve the chaos in the north. Are you going to use this to make a deal with me?
"
The eldest son Wang stopped and then nodded seriously.
"Exactly."
"You should understand. This is impossible -" Princess Griffin frowned, but her words were immediately interrupted. Prince Levin smiled slightly and said: "I understand, Griffin, but guess what?
Wrong. I don’t want to use this as a condition in exchange for anything. I think you two can listen carefully to your thoughts, how about it? "
"Brother, what do you think?" Her Royal Highness the Princess was slightly startled.
Levin nodded, but then said to Wood beside him: "Master officiant, can you let me and the princess, Mr. Brando, be alone for a while?"
Wood held the scissors in one hand and stopped. He glanced at the eldest son of the king, then nodded, put the scissors away, and said to Griffin and Brando: "Your Highness, I know more or less about you.
Although my brother’s idea is a bit extreme, it is still a solution. At least at this juncture, you may be able to calm down and think about it carefully.”
After saying that, the former chief priest of Ampelser gently adjusted his robe and walked out of the courtyard.
The princess frowned slightly when she heard this. She watched Wood leave and then turned back.
"So, brother, what exactly do you think?" she asked.
"Griffin, as an enemy not long ago, you must be very suspicious of my intentions, right?" Levin did not answer directly, but asked like this. His tone sounded very casual, as if he was talking to a friend.
It's like joking.
But this question sounds a bit stupid. Suspicion is natural, not to mention enemies, even between strangers. Brando knows that His Highness the Prince may not be a fool. He obviously has his intention when he says this.
So he just waited quietly for the next answer.
Her Royal Highness the Princess obviously understood this, but she still nodded: "Personally, I know who you are, and I am willing to believe you, brother Levin. But because of our position, you should also understand,
Politics has no room for personal emotions and weakness."
"Yes, but in fact you may have made some mistakes. There is no conflict of interest between us, and even from a certain standpoint, we should stand together - Griffin and Mr. Brando
." Wang eldest son said suddenly.
The courtyard fell silent.
The princess was silent. She frowned deeply and looked at the man who should be her brother in name: "Brother Levin, do you think you can gain our trust by saying this?"
This sentence was actually Brando's idea, but Princess Griffin surprised him slightly by using 'we' instead of 'I'.
"No, this is not a lie." The eldest son of the king smiled slightly: "Griffin, if you want to solve the chaos in the north, you just want to end the civil strife in this kingdom and make the country finally unify."
"Isn't it your fault that the kingdom is divided?" Griffith replied coldly.
"Really?" Levin asked, "Was Eruin a unified and stable kingdom before the Sifah family launched an attack?"
The eldest son Wang suddenly raised his head. Although he couldn't see, it still gave people the illusion of being watched. The gaze seemed to be tangible, and his 'sight' swept over everyone present: "Griffin, in your heart
I know this very well. Do you remember what I once said to you?"
Her Highness the Princess pursed her lips.
Brando saw that her slender brows were almost twisted together. He knew that Griffith and her nominal brother had a relationship when they were young. In the year of the astrologer, Archduke Anlek forced Ober
When the Ancient VI changed the law on defense changes, Her Royal Highness the Princess went to Winterfort with her father to stay temporarily, where she met her brother.
However, the records of this experience in history are only a few hasty words, and it is obviously impossible to record the conversation between the two children. However, Brando knew very well that there was actually nothing wrong with what His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king, said now.
Has Eruin ever been unified?
Maybe there is.
Since Ek integrated the entire southern territory, Eruin has since become a unified kingdom. But since the previous king left this world and the end of the Sifah Dynasty, the Lion Heart Sword has been lost, and the majesty of the royal family has become worse day by day, even if it is
In the Renaissance era when Sword Master Darus and Turaman existed, the central government's rule over local areas was also very meager.
After the fall of Archduke Albergo forced Auberge VI to change the defense decree, the unity of the kingdom was in name only.
Why was Eruin ever unified?
As the kingdom gradually collapses, the majesty of the central royal power can no longer restrain its disintegration. This is exactly what Her Royal Highness wants to change.
"Griffin, Mr. Brando, do you just want to change the kingdom back to the way it was before your father was still alive?" The eldest son of the king continued: "If that's the case, Sifah, Korcova,
What’s the point of changing the name? This is not your idea, right?”
Brando and Her Royal Highness the Princess fell silent at the same time, because this was exactly their goal.
"The root of the disagreement between the northern nobles and you, and even the root of Grand Duke Anlek's betrayal of you, Griffin, comes from understanding your true ambitions. You want to carry out reforms like Cruz and St. Osol, trying to
Turn Eruin into a truly centralized kingdom - if you succeed one day, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for today's powerful figures."
Levin replied: "No one will give up their interests, so they cannot support you."
"No... there will always be some people who support me, such as the Highland Knights and those who still believe in the ideals of the late king." Princess Griffin replied.
"Then what? Maybe we can also count those bankrupt knights and homeless people. Maybe you can succeed, Griffin. But don't forget, there is not much time left for you." The eldest son of Wang analyzed calmly.
Said: "Eruin's enemies don't just come from within."
This sentence pierced into Brando's heart like a thorn, and he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Yes, reform may be inevitable for Eruin, but similarly, Eruin's enemies are not
It's not just the vulnerable nobles.
Racing against time is what he has been doing all along.
Her Royal Highness the Princess raised her head: "Then what can you do, brother?"
The eldest son Wang fell silent.
A short while passed.
He replied softly: "It's very simple, let me become the king of Eruin, Griffin."

Go ahead, hum.)
