204 The father and son of the Makuma royal family. (1/2)
Emperor Amadeus II of the Adastera Empire sat on the throne alone among the unmanned stares.
I don't plan to see anything else from now on. This is the emperor's habit when thinking, and the guard knight stands by the door.
Behind the emperor's head, with one elbow on the throne, the appearance of a black-haired young man who had left the Imperial Capital was reflected.
”I'm not interested in the past or the truth, is everything for my own purpose?”
The throat of the old emperor trembles with joy.
”Shikibu, the sky is definitely your child. Words are different, but the same path you are trying to walk. However, unlike you, who only cares about you, the sky seems to leave feelings for others....”
That said, the emperor looked away.
”Is this the influence of my mother, Shizuya? That was a sweet daughter. If the strictness of the ceremony and the kindness of Shizuya reside in the body equally, the sky will draw the blood of the parents correctly.”
When the emperor was alone, he closed his eyes and turned his back on the throne. Then, you try to retrace your consciousness to the past.
But in the next moment, the emperor's mind was broken. Because the door between the eyes was loud and revealed.
The sound of cutlets, cutlets and iron shoes made him walk to the throne with a large crotch, a grand man with a sense of dominance in his face.
The eyes peering from the truncated eyes are blue, the bowed eyebrows are straight enough to envy women, and the tall nose bridge reminds me of a sculpture that will become the hand of a master craftsman. Tall, stretched limbs, no gap in walking. There was a strong pride in the smile that came to my mouth, and it was as if I believed that I was the lord of this imperial palace.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and pointed his words at the approaching person.
”Can I help you, Richard?”
”Can't a child see his father without help, Father? Let's say you miss it too much.”
Crown Prince Richard gave me straight eyebrows and appealed to loneliness, but the Emperor showed my son's behavior with his nose.
”Though you are a proud child with no shortage of sentences or martial arts, it is a pity that you are lacking in talent for play.”
When he heard that, Richard stroked his face and pulled in a lonely expression, and laughed with joy.
”Ha ha, was that really deliberate? Well, let's do the role of Takako, who thinks of her father, by herself. I will take care of things that cannot be done in Purple Garden.”
”But that's what I'm not saying. Of my sons, the Crown Prince has no choice.”
For the first time, the emperor's voice was sarcastic.
”Paradise, Carnelius, Azlite, and Dagger. Aren't all the nobles who represent our country with you? Your position as the next emperor may be called Banjaku. You will be close to them. I don't need to worry about it.”
”I know that your father was right and right. The next empire belongs to the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, there are many fools in the world who turn their backs on reason. Those who think that if my position becomes a cornerstone, the profits that I get when it turns upside down will be great.”
Here, Richard narrows his eyes and sends a meaningful gaze to the father of the throne.
”I'm not surprised that your father would let me take my position one step further, in order to eliminate the room for them to delusion.”
”You want me to leave?”
”No way! I am both your father's son and your subordinate. I will not disrespect the emperor with my subordinates. But you also know the disturbing rumors that have been whispered in the Empire and beyond in recent years, don't you? If nothing is done, rumors may emerge that the rumor is true, and that your father intends to change the order of succession to the Empire by waiting for the adult of the Purple Garden. If only they were interested in the pleasures of people in the Purple Garden...”
Rumors run out of rumors.
The sound of Richard's mouth was terribly pale.
”It's too sour to bleed each other with a blood-connected sibling. I would like to ask you to do me a favor to avoid such a situation. For example, if we send Shiohan down to his registry, there's no room for fools to delude themselves.”
Descending into the castle refers to descending as an imperial family and joining the ranks under the castle.
It is only natural that you lose your right to inherit the empire because you are no longer an imperial family. And once you have descended into the royal family, you cannot return to the royal family again.
In the Adastella Empire, it was not uncommon to use the method of descent to avoid confusion in the succession of empires. For example, the Duke of Paradise, one of the three houses of honor, was born when the brother of the second emperor descended into the throne and was given Paradise territory.
Amadeus II has taken great care to preserve the position of the Crown Prince, Richard, based on his own hard work inheriting the empire. In fact, Richard and his younger brothers were dropped off at an early stage.
― ― The Amadeus II will not try anything against Prince Ziyuan.
I could not deny that the fact fuelled rumors of royal discord. Is it Richard's own thoughts that the word 'evil-doers may be revealed', which Richard has just said?
In response, the emperor did not reply silently.
To state the true intentions of Amadeus II, I have no intention of abandoning Richard. The option of releasing Shiohan to the registry was also taken into account.
But the only reason we haven't come to a decision yet is because the Emperor is putting Rishal's arbitrariness at risk. The Continent's hegemon is bleeding too much.
Amadeus II himself, when he was young, greedily sought territory and power, and feared its harshness from the surrounding countries. Therefore, blaming Rishal's way is like spitting in the sky - even if you think about it, you have to shake your head to the side if you ask if you can keep the Empire with Rishal today.
Now that Amadeus II is still standing up, we can restrain Richard's actions. Richard also shows his ears against his father's words.
But once he succeeds (once), Richard will not be able to put his father's restraints on his teeth. With my father in the middle of the confinement, Richard himself must have mastered 10,000 aircraft as emperor.
To say the least, Amadeus II did the same to his father's emperor.
The Emperor thinks that things about himself are good. Causal retribution is just what your own deeds bring back to you.
However, I was afraid that Richard's hostility would be directed against Shin-en. There is no guarantee that the hostility of Rishal will be eliminated by descending Shiohan to the registry office.
