Chapter 1636 frog&fog (twenty-four)

  The old king recruited me to his reception room,

  The sun is full here, and the dust is flying in the morning sun like gold dust.

  Someone once told me that my greatest misfortune is that I don’t believe in friendship and the most gratifying feeling of mankind-love.

  I think I’m the same as most people on this point,

  When you don’t need it, you will abandon what is useless to you.

  Friendship is just an empty name. As for giving up feelings to women, it’s even more unnecessary.

  Man must be bold in his heart and purpose, otherwise he will have nothing to do with politics or war.

  I haven’t been in a guest seat for a long time, which makes me feel like I’m inferior.

  But it was like this when I was young,

   often sit in a chair and be picked by others.

  I stroked the golden sheep's head on the arm of the chair, feeling this familiar and unfamiliar feeling.

  The subjects of the Sheep Kingdom are very prosperous. Xu is because the king does not take the initiative to launch wars and does not need to increase the burden on the subjects.

  The Hare country adjacent to the Sheep Kingdom has many artisans who are good at making crossbows, but it is surrounded by other big countries.

  As long as they have plans to expand, they will be annihilated by neighboring countries, so they have to sell their own crossbows to those kingdoms.

  Eagle and Rooster originally had the most fighters, but because the two countries continue to fight and the population decreases, they ultimately rely on marriage to maintain peace.

The quail kingdom is the most powerful, but it is located on the plains, and the sheep kingdom is located on the plateau. The soldiers cannot adapt to the climate here. In addition, the old king likes to build fortifications, and with those weapons that defend the city, this is a long time to attack .

  I remember that sheep should be grazing on the plains, while the partridges should be on the mountains,

  Weird world, weird country, weird customs.

  Old King: Do you know why I found you?

  No, I said in an arrogant tone, what do you want to do?

  Old King: Which kingdom do you want to erase from the map?

  Me: Why do you ask that?

  Old King: You will not be a landless king.

  Me: You said you would marry your daughter to the king.

  Old King: You are not yet.

  Me: You don’t want to ruin me and get rid of the threat?

  Old King: I am old.

  I can’t understand his logic.

  Old King: Have you ever been married?

  Me: Yes.

  Old King: How did it end?

  Me: She betrayed me first.

  Old King: What did you do to avenge her?

  Me: Everything you can think of.

  Old King: Do you still love her?

  Me: I loved it.

  Old King: Don’t love it now?

  Me: The only happiness I have tasted in the world came from her, and the most ferocious poison also came from her. How can I let you experience how I felt at that time?

  Old King: I don’t want to say sympathy, and you don’t need to listen, do you?

  I chuckled and did not answer.

  Old King: I have heard a prediction that a stranger will save my daughter.

  Me: You think it’s not me. If it was me, you wouldn’t want to expel me.

  Old King: But you are still a ‘stranger’. The son of an acquaintance is coming. I don’t want my daughter to marry him.

Why do I? He is a real prince.

  Old King: I would rather marry her to a good ranger than let her marry the prince. He wants to annex my kingdom and enslave my subjects.

  Me: Is the country important, or is your daughter’s happiness important?

  Old King: What do you think?

  Me: I don’t want to continue to shed blood. I can listen to any conditions that do not allow the honor and interests of this country.

  Old King: You don’t have a daughter, do you?

  I did not answer him.

  Old King: When you have a daughter, you will understand my mood.

  Me: What do you want me to do?

  Old King: You asked her to call your uncle. What do you think your uncle would do in this situation?

  Me: I can’t imagine.

  Old King: This is what I was going to say to you. I can't imagine how you felt at that time. It is meaningless to ask me how I can let me experience your feelings at that time.

  Me: So we are having a meaningless conversation?

  Old King: I can give you a piece of land, ‘uncle’, as long as you are willing to take care of my daughter and son-in-law.

  I spread my hands: I have nothing, what care should I take?

  Old King: Do you think our conversation is meaningful now?

================================================== ================

   "You have a weird dream, senior sister." Severus sat in a chair and looked at the Sleeping Beauty and said, "If you dream of a handsome man, I can still understand it. Why is it that short boy?"

  No one answered him.

"Because he is the Muggle King?" Severus muttered to himself. "In fairy tales, the king is always stupid and is deceived by swindlers. If the king and nobles are privileged, they can be mocked. Their wizards have become super-privileged. It is precisely because of this idea that purebloods and careerists like Grindelwald who think that the world can be ruled by magic. I have never told you, Bella When they tortured Muggles, they didn’t treat Muggles as adults at all. It was like playing a game, except that there were no ants under the magnifying glass. Arthur Weasley only saw this scene, but did not remember the Muggle generals in the Middle Ages. The scene in which they identified a wizard tied to the stake, or he deliberately refused to mention it. When a person said that there are only good people in the world, he must be lying. Lily has been living in a relatively simple world. I The wrong thing made her, and I was unable to correct that mistake. I just wanted to make up for her and make her son grow up healthy. I told him that at the time because I couldn’t let Dumbledore get more hands on it. , To force me to do too much for him."

   Still no one answered him.

"I thought I left the UK with only the two of us, and everything will go back to what we did when we lived in seclusion." Severus said calmly. "Now I doubt if you are back and we can go back to the past. Today Lucius and I Speaking of remarriage, I don’t think I still have a way to marry another woman. He pays much attention to continuity. I am not the same person as him. I hate the boy who survived a catastrophe. I almost killed him, if not. His good friend Weasley took his life for a long time, I think I was going crazy at the time, and I could still use the Hushen Guard. I just want everything to end soon and we can continue to live, but you think I am a murderer. ', I agreed to Dumbledore’s pleading, and that’s how he responded to me. I thought that if I changed to me, I would do the same thing. My original intention was to tell Harry Potter alone, but he said this It was said in public. He always couldn't keep secrets. I knew from the time he learned Occlumency. Our savior is such a person. I think Harry Potter can only rely on without the guidance of his elders. I've grown up, and fortunately he has many friends, and Draco needs us."

   Severus reached out and repaired the swan necklace that had been broken on her neck with the use of wandless magic.

"You should learn Hibiscus." He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. "Pretty girls are usually considered arrogant. You don't need to listen to the old fool, be humble, and you don't need to hide your beauty in order to please others. , Whatever they say, I love you, please believe me."

   "It's hard to believe, godfather." Draco put his hands in his pants pockets and stood at the door leisurely and said, "Aunt Bella said you are untrustworthy."

   Severus didn't answer, but grabbed Pomona's hand.

   "I'm waiting for you in the living room." Draco left after speaking, leaving space for the two people in the bedroom.
