Chapter 108: Autocratic Fate Part 3 (2/2)
The emperor’s eyes looked like that of an anxious lion, “My father left me a riddled empire, and I mended it in these years.But I am not willing to leave an equally disastrous empire to my children and grandchildren! ButI suspect that it is difficult… No, not very difficult, but I certainly cannot do it! I cannot die before I coulderadicate these cancer out one by one! ”
The old emperor looked at Carvesylver, “Your body has always been much better than mine. I believe, even if I die, you can live more than I do by at least twenty years but… If I have a smart son, then I would be assured to pass the undone things to him, and you will be his assistanceto complete our task! But Carvesylver… ”
The old emperor grunted, “You look at the results of what I have! I waited for a son who is a cowardly and stupid guy.He even joined to the man of the military and those cancer! Do not think that I do not know, the little white face man, Bonfredis my dear son’s toy boy. Wounded Hastings? Are you kidding! In order to allow him to get his promotion, he actually cooperate with those warlords in military! It drives me down to the extreme! Carvesylver, my son, my despair, he had become your students for ten years, but he did not learn even one-tenth of wisdom from you here! And he is disappointing me. He has been married for almost a year.He married the most beautiful aristocratic girl in Osgilliath but I receive the message that he actually not sleep with his new wife in bed even once! I even doubt that his dirty habits on the men would eventually cause the Crome familyto be unprecedented!
Carvesylver quietly listened to the anger of His Majesty. Then the wise old man just had a faint smile, with his characteristically calm and somewhat indifferent voice softly and slowly said, “Your Majesty, you are unable to control the angry in the heart… Please do not forget that sentence: Being trapped in sadness or anger when being powerless is the coward’s move. ”
The Emperor of Lance suddenly closed his mouth.
“Anger does not help, I need to know what the result you want is?” Carvesylver’s eyelids slowly blinked for a moment and casually told, “I said we need a chance, but it seems the fate did not favor to you, that the opportunity that you waited has not come. But that does not mean he will never come, if you still want to avoid the instability and the risk, then we can continue to wait. If you need other results …”
“My son sinking love toward the man has made me desperate.” The Emperor of Lance growled: “I cannot wait much time any longer, Carveslyver! I have no doubt that once I die, my stupid son will double the number of the Tekma in the military in less than a year! And then in less than a year, the military headquarter will be moved to this palace! I feel despair on this fool so I have to risk and to continue my task before I die. I will do everything! ”
Faced with the emperor’s excitement and anxiety, Carveslyver’s eyes were still clear and calm, slowly he said. “You should understand that there is no such hope and possibility.”
“I understand!” the emperor’s mouth emergedwith a grinning, “Then I will fight to the death together with them! If this empire really need to undergo a turbulence to be rejuvenated, then, I hope this instability would be undergone by me. At least compared to my stupid son, I have better chance! While this is still extremely limited but… ”
The old emperor suddenly held the seat and barely stood up. Under his gorgeous robe, he was thin and skinny. It seem to be deserted blowing by the wind.
The old emperor said in determination, “If I really could not overcome this. Then I would end the honor of Crome Family in my hands! This is my empire, if they really want to put an end to it, thenIt should also be ended by me personally! ”
His eyes gazed rapily on Carveslyver’s face and said persistently, “It is either I die or they die, this is the result which I want, Carvesylver!”
Carvesylver eventually sighed. He still held on the long sleeves, bowed slightly and said with a light voice, “Well, I haveunderstood your wish.”
Then the wise man talked with a clear and brisk tone, “Initially, the most suitable candidate to take the position as the deputy minister was the Duke Minas, Duke Minas is always had a profound influence. Those assholes have to give him a bit of face. Just Duke Minas is having some physical health problems in these years. And I worried now Duke Minas seems to have lost some of his vigor.It would be difficult to entrust him with the task to confront with the parasites. ”
“So, what do you suggest?”
“You need a hard man.” Carveslyver finally showed a glimmer of decisive tone, “If you are not afraid to start a chaos, then the candidate must have a strong heart and absolutely loyal to you, and… There is such a candidate who fulfil the courage to be our vanguard. ”
“Do you mean…”
“General Adelaide is the leader of the thirteenth Corps. As a true soldier of one faction, General Adelaide is certainly loyal to the Empire. And we had been locating him in the thirteenth Corps position for nine year. The military has a numerous attempts to corrupt him, even by the offer of a military post of Governor. General Adelaide have no apostasy.He deserves the trust of Your Majesty. Talking about courage, the despotic general would not let you down.”
The Emperor of Lance had a serious thought on the advice, “I believe your advice… But thirteenth Corps is the most important combat power in our hands. Without Adelaide, then who is going to be the new leaderfor the regiment of cavalry?”
