Chapter 964 Gale's Promise

Since Gozewen's condition worsened, under Gozewen's instruction, many people have visited Gozewen's dormitory these days to visit Gozewen, who has not had much time.

Among those who came to visit Gozevin, naturally, his only son, Gail.

In the huge dormitory, there were only Gozewen lying on the bed and Gail sitting next to the head of the bed.

"Father..." Gael murmured softly, holding Gozewen's withered hand tightly.

Looking at Gozewen's pale face without any blood, a rich sadness gradually appeared on Gael's face.

Even there was a faint water vapor in my eyes.

My father was about to die - although he had already made this mental preparation, Gale could not contain his sadness.

Gozewen is a person who is very emotional, very concerned about emotions, and very family.

That's why Gozewen has always paid close attention to family harmony.

Thanks to Ge Zewen's emphasis on feelings and family, their small family is far more humane than other royal families in history.

Gail is Gozewen's only son. Although the father and son have been in conflict since childhood, the family affection cannot be cut off.

"Father……"

Gail had a lot to say to Gozewen, but after thinking for a long time, he only squeezed out this sentence:

"I... can't bear to part with you..."

When he finished speaking the last word, Gale's tone was already clearly crying.

And Gozewen, who was lying on the bed, also smiled gently at this time, pulled his withered hand out of Gael's palm, and then stroked Gael's somewhat wrinkled and rough cheeks.

"The first time I saw you, you were lying and I was sitting."

Gozewen said in a jokey tone.

"I didn't expect that when my life was about to end, I turned around and became you sitting and I lay down."

After listening to Gozewen's playful words, Gale couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Father, why is it time for you to tell such jokes..."

"At this time, the more you have to tell jokes." Gozewen chuckled a few times, "This way, the atmosphere is not too sad. You know, I hate the sad atmosphere the most."

Perhaps because he said too much in one breath, Gozewen's breathing became a little rapid.

After taking several deep breaths, Gozewen's breathing became smoother and more stable again.

Looking at Gozewen who was taking a deep breath, the sadness in Gael's eyes became even stronger.

My father, who was originally very strong, is now so weak...

After making the breathing smoother and stable again, Gozewen whispered while rubbing Gael's face:

"Gal, can you answer a few questions about being a father?"

Gozevin turned his head and looked directly at Gale.

Although Gozewen is sick now, his eyes remain sharp.

"Gal, have you ever resented me, who deprived you of the crown prince, and made Ilsa the father of the 13th emperor?"

After hearing this question from Gozewen, Gale's expression stumbled.

After a long silence, Gale whispered:

"...If you say you didn't blame you privately, it must be fake."

"I heard from you with my own ears that when you want Ilsa to replace me as the 13th emperor of the empire, I was blaming you."

"I thought to myself: Father, why don't you choose me? Could Ilsa, who was under 10 years old at the time, be more suitable to be the emperor of the Britannian Empire than me?"

After listening to Gael's words quietly, Gozewen was not angry.

Instead, he laughed out loud.

"Gal, you are willing to tell the truth, which makes it very happy for the father."

"If you say you don't blame me at all, I won't believe it."

"If this kind of thing happens to me, I will definitely question and blame my father."

"It has been three years since Ilsa ascended the throne. After so long, do you still resent as a father?"

Gail was silent for a while again.

"...I've stopped resenting." Gail sighed lightly, "After such a long time, even if I'm not willing to give up, I've already let it go..."

"I no longer resent you, my father."

"The person wearing this crown is my daughter, not other outsiders, and I will no longer feel unwilling to accept this. Anyway, this crown will be worn on Ilsa's head sooner or later. What's the matter if it's worn earlier or later."

"Don't you feel unwilling to accept anything..." Gozewen repeated what Gael had just said.

Then he said in a meaningful tone:

"Gal, I hope what you said just now is true..."

As soon as Gozewen finished speaking, Gail said without hesitation:

"Of course it's true!"

"Since it's true, that's good." Gozewen's tone gradually became serious, "Gal, can you promise me something?"

"Father, please say."

"Although I'm already open to my life and death, there are still two things that make me feel at ease."

Gozewen said softly.

"The first thing is the future of the Britannian Empire. I am afraid that my motherland will encounter unexpected consequences after my death."

"The second thing is the future of you and Ilsa."

"When I decided to pass the throne to Ilsa, I was worried about whether there would be a crack in your father-daughter relationship with Ilsa."

"As expected, after Ilsa ascended the throne, you lived a life of simplicity, and your contacts with everyone, including Ilsa, have become much less."

"I know you're avoiding suspicion, but I know that part of the reason you do this is because you don't want to see Ilsa."

"Ilsa has also cried to me many times for this."

"The thing I hate the most and fear the most in my life is the discord in my family."

"Because I was born in a disharmonious family."

"What a bastard guy your grandpa is, you probably heard of it."

"I spent about half a lifetime with the assistance of Jacob, Bancro, Issel and others to finally clean up the series of messes left to me by the bastard father."

"My father is one of the best tyrants in our country. He not only has a bad attitude towards his own citizens, but also his family."

"I just don't want my descendants to repeat my miserable experiences when I was young, so I have always paid great attention to family harmony."

"I am very proud of my life. Although I have not made great contributions to the country that have been recorded in history, my family has always been harmonious when I am still alive."

"I hope my record will continue after I die."

"Since you just said you will no longer feel unwilling to not wear a crown, then Gail, can you promise me?"

"Promise me--you will reconcile with Ilsa in the future and turn back to the normal and warm father-daughter relationship before."

Gozewen looked at Gale with a torch.

Bathed in Gozewen's sharp gaze, Gale was silent for only two or three seconds and nodded heavily:
