Chapter 296 “The Regent”

Du Wei's co waves inside

Blue Ocean?

It’s actually Blue Ocean again?

By now Du Wei has becoin – a mysterious scholar froreat students like Philip in Du Wei's rank, this outstanding person also taught a peerless swordsuez!

And now this Blue Ocean also had a hand in the great struggle for the throne involving the royal faet involved in all this?

Intentional or unintentional?

In the past when Blue Ocean introduced Philip to aid him in the Northwest, Du Wei had only taken this old scholar as a concerned elder of the ein was that of the Snowy Mountain, the sentence of ”not letting the prairie natives cross over the …

A stor inside his mind, but Du Wei dared not show a spec of doubt Instead, he can only continue to carefully listen to the Regent's story…

”In a group of wolves, the pack leader has becoive up his status And at this tirow old enough to be a strong alpha, strong enough to be a threat to his own status

So what should the father do?

The answer is simple: he will turn his focus on me

I aifted young prince

Let's say if…… If the crown did change to me instead of my mature older brother, then that would mean father has a reasonable claim to make me wait another ten years or more before I take over

He didn’t really love me that much, nor did he think I' brother who's thirty by then

The only reason is: Making me the crown prince will mean another decade or two before he has to recede froh!

This is the 'love' nition' from my father!!

Ha ha!!”

Speaking up to here, Prince Son’s voice became very deep as he looked to the sky: “Du Wei, you won't be able to understand That night when I finally understood Mr Blue Ocean's words… I don't even kno I h it It was the hardest part of ht, the eo is nothing!”

Watching this highness reacting like so, Du Wei suddenly found that the seat of a ruler wasn't so nice to sit in

Hesitating for a hed and whispered, “Maybe … I can relate because I have also experienced so similar to what you say”

As Prince Son faces Du Wei, the corner of his eyes slowly revealed a tinge of happiness: ”Indeed… You are one of the few people who can understand what I went through Du Wei, this is why I' fa favored by your father, and then because of the great Magister's tutelage, you returned to the capital… Your experience in your family may be different from mine, but your situation and mood back then was quite similar Du Wei, this is why I felt so close to you e first met, why I value you like so!”

Du Wei was silenced

It's not hard for hio for a child Sitting there in the cold, staring up at the night sky, realizing his father's love wasn't love but a play What's worse, his own father was also pushi+ng him into the stove to be baked…

Recalling back to how his own father sent assassins to kill him on the road, Du Wei can say its true, their situation and mood really was similar

They exchanged a sain, but this time their smiles were more sincere without falsehood

Then Prince Son continues his tale

”After that tiht did not drop me into utter despair; in fact I even felt a little lucky inside at finding out sooner

It didn't take long for lorious as it seems Once you are involved in the supreerous threat

I didn't blas through, I kneasn't his fault After all, we may be brothers before, but we are still candidates for that laughable throne

And the most hilarious part of it all was that brother didn't even realize that father never intended to pass me the crown To father, I' brother! The only lucky part of that situation was that father took me as a child, a shi+eld he can use! If I had been more than twenty years old, e the crown to me!

Pity … Father doesn't have a younger son than I; otherwise, I believe he will no doubt choose the smaller one!

Elder brother regardsis I never wished to compete with him!

The throne, in my opinion, is of little appeal

Therefore, I atteuise I hoped that would've been enough to make him feel at ease

The Augustine Dynasty was founded through military means, hence the reason why every children of the royal family must learn horsemanshi+p and martial art But I refused that tradition I even openly expressed ic and ran off to learn it because we all know that wizards don’t covet worldly power and are creatures of the transcendent world Moreover, other than the founding eon, no other wizard had ever took on the title of an emperor!

If you learn radually lose interest in secular power, this is the norm

Therefore I deliberately ran off to learnbrother understand I have no wish to contend with him

Unfortunately elder brother didn't seem to understand my intent

And what's arded as a defiant move for a child My court tutors all objected to the idea, but only my father favored this and supported it

That's how the 'doting' ru'me with support
