Chapter 116 The Emperor's Gift
Standing on the position of the Duke of Kaiyan, Terion should be happy to see Karin elope and escape in a glorious manner. It would be better that the other party was a slave or even a criminal. In this way, the biggest competitor from his brother-in-law would completely lose the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
"Anyway, as a minister, it is really touching to see Your Highness find your own happiness. As long as your Highness is willing, even if it is a slave or a barbarian, I will support you. After all, love is justice!" The black-bellied short man pretended to wipe his tears, then looked at Lu Xi's incisive face and showed a hideous smile: "I bet, you must want to pour wine on my face now."
"If it weren't for the public's eyes, I would have poured a cup of acid on your face." Lu Xi said coldly: "Of course, this will not make your face harder to see. Then, it's rude."
Lu Xi bowed to the Prime Minister of Auckland decently but stiffly, and then left. He was sure that this annoying short duke must have the kind of racial talent that makes people rush to go wild.
The little giant falling from the starry sea looked at Lu Xi's back with a smile that thought he was handsome but was not as attractive as he was until a person holding a wine glass walked to him.
"His Highness Wells." Tyrion raised his wine glass with some difficulty and gently touched the tall and slender son of the emperor, Grand Duke Walden.
"A good beauty, why are you so angry with you? What a pity." The romantic grand duke glanced at Lu Xi's back with a hot gaze: "I know you are loyal to Tessa, why not introduce it to me?"
"Oh, I have to try the young people's abilities occasionally and find fun for myself." The Duke of Terion shrugged: "Why, even my niece wants to steal? Don't look like this, that's a teenager. You're really a meat-and-vegetarian."
"No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as it is a beauty, it's okay." The grand duke read countless women, so naturally he could see from the beginning that Lu Xi was him or not: "Karin has a good vision."
"Yes. If her decision was as good as her vision and elopement with the beauty, I would be even happier." Tyrion said in a chaotic voice while drinking.
"Oh? I really can't tell that you have such a deep affection for your brother and sister-in-law." Grand Duke Will looked at this malicious black-bellied short man, and his tone was naturally full of explicit sarcasm, "I have always thought that you are very irresponsible to the people of Lancaster. It seems that rumors are rumors. The Lord of Heaven will definitely be very moved! He will definitely review his behavior of judging people by his appearance."
The dwarf with high positions and power is now above ten thousand people in Auckland. The higher the status of a person, the more open-minded the mood. Even if he cares about appearance and parent-child issues, Tyrion will not react as fiercely as he was when he was young. He grinned and showed a smile like a lion before hunting: "I now lack the sense of responsibility for the family, and it is really difficult to fall in love with my dear sister. However, the butt determines that the head is always the truth in the world, and all of us mortals cannot avoid the vulgarity."
"So your ass must let you act in the position of the Lancaster patriarch?"
"My butt makes me have to act as the prime minister of the empire." Tyrion looked at the youngest son of Shin-sama, who was destined to be out of the throne: "What the current empire needs is stability. The current empire no longer needs another sun king."
Grand Duke Walden drank the red wine in his glass and slowly said with a gloomy sneer: "Do you know? Dear Duke, what I hate the most is your confident and decisive face, as if nothing can escape your control. The old man trusts you so much, which really puzzles me."
"Dear Your Highness Wells, your words really make me sad. But it doesn't matter. Your Majesty even trusts a sarcastic eunuch with unknown origin. As long as he still doesn't hate me, that's enough."
Lu Xiyang left at the center of the dance, and Kalin, the other center of the dance, had already come to the emperor to sit down. She carefully held a cup of steaming walnut milk and handed it to her grandfather like all those filial and well-behaved granddaughters.
"The drinks are all from your girls' home. You should know that I hate this thing the most." The emperor said with a stern face and knocked on the empty wine glass: "I want this one."
"Then you should also know that the wine you drank today has been overdose. Then the Archbishop will not be blamed by me." Karin raised her eyebrows, snatched the wine glass from the emperor and threw it to the waiter.
"Anyway, that old guy is not here." The emperor looked at the waiter holding his beloved golden cup away, licking his face and muttering constantly, as if a child whose beloved toys had been stolen: "It's just one cup, cute little Kalin, can't a cup be enough?"
"Of course not!" Karin said unmoved: "Please pay attention to your age and body. Gone are the days when drinking big bowls of wine and eating big pieces of meat."
"It is because one foot has already entered the coffin. I need a big bowl of wine and eat big pieces of meat! Otherwise, wouldn't there be no chance in the future?" The emperor said authentically.
"Well, you can say this to the Archbishop. If he agrees, of course I can agree."
"Oh, when did my little Karin become so unlovely?" The emperor slapped in dissatisfaction and patted the armrest of the imperial throne: "Gods, give me the little Karin who rode on my neck to pick apples!"
"A guy who is out of tune told me that time is a pig-killing knife." Karin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay, drink this drink, I will add another glass of wine to you after drinking it?"
"You must have put the medicine in it. Do you think your grandfather is really confused?"
"Actually, I put the medicine in the wine. Are you still drinking it?" Karin asked back with her eyes blinking.
"Okay, okay, I'll just drink it." The old emperor shook his head helplessly and could only announce his surrender.
Although it was just a cup of ordinary walnut milk, the taste was naturally excellent after being conditioned by the imperial chef in the palace. However, the emperor frowned tightly, his throat wriggled several times, and his eyes closed suddenly, as if he was drinking some poison. With a passionate look on his face, he swallowed the drink in big mouthfuls, and after that, he vomited heavily.
"Ah, I would rather face the million-strong army of Wikiya barbarians again than drink this thing."
"Is it that exaggerated? Isn't it just a cup of walnut milk?" Karin took the cup disapprovingly: "And to dilute the smell of medicine, I also added a lot of honey in it."
"It is because of the sweet honey that makes people feel nauseous." The emperor complained to Liantian: "Besides, do you not know the taste of the medicine prepared by the bishop? Even Heras's bones will not touch it."
"The undead didn't know how to drink medicine, aren't you talking nonsense?" Karin said without giving the emperor face: "It's good medicine to treat diseases. For a healthy body, you still have to suffer this kind of pain."
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but smile indifferently: "At this age, what kind of health is there? Little Kalin, deceiving yourself is not the style of your grandfather. Besides, being able to see your grandmother earlier is a good thing for me."
Even the Holy Spirit and the Demon God cannot violate the highest will of the laws of nature. Even the real sun will have a day when the sun sets. The Lichs of Henas have obtained "eternal life" through secret techniques, and gradually lost the feelings that the creatures should have. The attachment to immortality will eventually turn into absolute greed and cruelty. This can not be considered eternal life, it is clearly a curse.
Human beings are not immortal species like elves, but they can bloom the most brilliant light in the world in their short lives. When they reach the Sun King's realm, they have created achievements that are no less than their ancestors, and naturally they can accept their final destination with a calm and gentle atmosphere.
Moreover, whether it is a person's life or an era, there are also phases and tides. As early as when Queen Esteel passed away at the age of 60, the spirit of the Sun King was already severely hit, and the rule of the glorious era began to relax at that time.
At the age of 68, when the wise minister of the glorious era and the emperor's close friend Yark died, Guyus cried regardless of his identity at his friend's funeral. When he regretted losing his friend, he seemed to be regretting the end of a glorious era.
So, ten years later, when Karin's biological father, Crown Prince Dirios, passed away, the emperor did not shed tears. Perhaps, his weak spirit and tired soul had already numb his body and mind.
But even so, the Sun Emperor is still alive. Even though the sun is already hanging in the west, it is still shaking in the sky.
At this time, the emperor was sitting in the crystal hall, with stars arching on the moon like an altar, but he lowered his head and fell into a state of leisurely contemplation, as if he was remembering something, his round face gradually lost its majesty as if he had looked down on the world, but was covered with traces of aging, as if it was obvious as a knife and an axe. The lights and wine in the crystal hall were filled with wine and wine, and the wine and cups were mixed, as if he was cut from another world by his memory, even though it was a banquet prepared to celebrate his 80th birthday.
The emperor who was trapped in memory also lost his keen and wise insight. He did not notice the complex expression of nostalgia, sadness, pity, sigh, and struggle that flashed into resolutions on his granddaughter's face.
Karin gently massaged the emperor's shoulders, and in a voice that only he and the other party could hear, he slowly said: "When his ancestor Knous led the Dawn coalition to defeat the main force of the demon army of the King of Disaster, he was almost seventy years old. When he ascended the throne and became emperor, he was exactly seventy years old. Then he spent ten years to conquer the princes of the Auckland one by one. He moved into inner rule and spent more than twenty years to revive the ancient and declining empire. By the year he died, he was already one hundred and seven years old. Compared with him, you are still very young."
"What's the same? Before the death of the Dawn Knight Parn gave his holy spring heart to his close friend, the ancestor Knous. This gave him a long life and energy that would be far more ordinary. However, there would be no second holy spring heart in this world."
"Who said there is no second one?" Karin glanced at her grandfather, and her royal blue pupils once again turned into a red red like the rising sun.
