"Dad...Dad...well, Father, these are just small things. After all, the Gulf Stream island chain is too dangerous, and my son only managed to gain a foothold with all his strength."
"Killing fish, burning pirates, etc. are trivial matters. With a brave general like Connor here, it will be easy..."
"As for the acquisition of Hannah Chamber of Commerce, it was also my son's whim..."
Shiloh was about to explain everything he had done, but saw Roddy wave his hand.
"Since the Gulf Stream Island Chain has been allocated to you, it is yours... At the beginning, I just wanted to punish you a little, let you go to a difficult and difficult place to experience, reflect on your mistakes, and think about what you did in the royal capital.
These stupid things."
"But now that you have completely changed your past and have established a firm foothold in the Gulf Stream Island Chain, then continue to do it. As for the means, I will not interfere."
Shiloh nodded hurriedly, grateful.
He was still thinking about how to get away and resign as soon as possible, when he suddenly heard Rody mention nonchalantly: "In a while, your eldest brother will also return to the court."
"Your eldest brother guards the northern border of the kingdom, based on the Demon Fortress. In recent years, he has established a large territory for Pontos and has also built up his own strength; your second brother is now very proud of himself in the court, and most of the nobles are
My heart has returned to Him.”
"You used to be just a wandering prince, and national affairs had nothing to do with you. Now you have your own fiefdom and power. Tell me, which side are you going to stand on?"
Hearing this, Shiloh suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He froze on the stool, his face turned pale, and he didn't even dare to move.
Shiloh never expected that Rody would talk about the matter of seizing the throne that the royal family has always been most afraid of in such an understatement, as if he didn't care at all.
If it is just forming cliques and party members in the court, this kind of thing can only be regarded as a trivial matter in the eyes of the emperor. Naturally, there are emperor's skills to facilitate balance, but if it involves the struggle for the throne of the royal family...history
I don’t know how many people were drowned in blood and mountains of corpses were piled up because of this. This can be said to be the biggest taboo in any dynasty’s history!
Now Roddy actually took the initiative to mention this matter in front of him!
Roddy actually dared to take the initiative to mention this matter in front of him!
This, this, this, this, how should I answer this!
Shiloh, ah, ah, ah, didn't know what to say at all. Roddy laughed out loud when he saw his third son's troubled expression.
"In the past, you were not involved in the court. Although your behavior was ridiculous and childish, in some aspects you were the most peaceful and honest boy I had. However, after this pioneering trip, I think you have also learned something, so I can't help but
I won’t say a word to you.”
Rody wiped the meat juice on his hands, stood up and came behind Shiloh. Shiloh hurriedly tried to get up, but Rody held his shoulders and sat back down.
Roddy's strength was so great that he was unable to move at all.
"The kingdom seems to be calm now, but it is just a precursor to chaos. Your eldest brother and your second brother are facing each other, and there will definitely be a battle in the future."
"I let them fight. Only a king who has experienced fighting can rule this vast territory."
"Just like the barbarians in the north, the children of the barbarians will go through various trainings from an early age. Countless children died in the bloody growth. But only in this way can the surviving barbarians be able to stand up to each other one by one.
Earth warriors, because of this, no matter how powerful the kingdom is or how harsh the wilderness environment is, they are like rats, killing and exterminating them endlessly."
"The same is true for the Kingdom of Pontos. I defeated many brothers back then to get to where I am now. From the day the kingdom was established, internal fighting has never stopped."
"But is Pontos weakening? No, Pontos is getting stronger and stronger. Our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and our country is getting stronger and stronger. One day, we will become the only masters of the Western Continent!"
These words were full of momentum, and Shiloh seemed to see the shadow of the overlord who once commanded thousands of troops and commanded troops across the mainland.
Only such a domineering and heroic emperor could rule such a vast territory.
"In a storm, if you want to find peace, in addition to relying on your own strength, you also need to find a big ship to sit on. Whether you choose your eldest brother or your second brother... it all depends on your destiny.
"
"It's just that if you want to stay out of the matter and don't help either side, then you can only be the first to sink in this ocean... Shiloh, do you understand what it means to be a father?"
Shiloh swallowed and nodded stiffly: "Son, listen, I understand."
Rody patted Hero's shoulder, and said with a hint of humor, "How about it? It's not easy to sit in this position."
Shiloh moved his butt, pretending to be silly and smiled: "Father asked me to sit... then I will sit."
Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Rody's eyes, and he looked at Shiloh seriously.
"Yes, at least now, I have you in this position, and no one can touch you."
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became quiet. Rody waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm sleepy. Please step back."
If Hilo was granted amnesty, he hurriedly bowed and slowly retreated.
After Shiloh left, Roddy sat back in his seat, his whole person's aura sagging, like a lion in its twilight years.
"Lin De, I haven't seen you for half a year. The third child has become much more mature."
The old servant in costume behind Rody coughed and said: "Your Majesty, you are old too. In the past, you would not have said so much."
Rody smiled and acquiesced to the old servant's statement.
"The third child... and Sonia's temperaments are as if they were carved out of the same mold. Since Sonia's death, my lack of care for the third child has made him become the playboy he was before."
"Over the years, whenever I see the decadent look of the third child, I feel guilty towards Sonia... I hope this time I can cheer him up and pass on the blood of Sonia and I."
"I think His Highness Hilo will live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
----------------------------------------
After leaving the palace, Shiloh hurriedly led people back to his manor. After making sure that no one was around, he panted and drank a pot of cold water.
Roddy only chatted with him for a few minutes, but in these few minutes, Shiloh's heart went on a roller coaster in his stomach several times, and he almost jumped out of his throat in fear.
What on earth does this old guy want to say?
Even if Shiloh had experienced two lives, he would have no idea what kind of role Rody wanted him to play.
Could it be that you are really hinting that he will also join the fight for the crown prince?
What a joke! With his strength, how can he compare with the eldest prince and the second prince! If he dares to show any intention of competing for the crown prince, he will probably be beaten to death by the eldest prince and the second prince the next day.
Just as he was thinking wildly, an imperial edict came down again.
