A few crisp knocks sounded.

Dorgon at the desk raised his head and glanced, then set his eyes on the terminal in front of him again.

"come in."

"Master Dugon."

The one who came in was a maid who respectfully bowed to Duagon.

"What's the matter?" Duagon asked without moving his eyes.

"Master has something to ask for you."

Duokun's movements became stiff, and he looked up at the maid in surprise and asked.

"Did you say anything about looking for me?"

"No, the master just came to tell me to find you."

"Understood, I will go over."

Duagon waved his hand, closed the terminal with his hand, got up and left.

Guided by the maid, Dugon came to the study room where his father was.

Before taking Duagon to the door of this study, the maid bowed to Duagon and bowed and left.

Duokun at the door hesitated for a while and opened the door of the study.

"father."

Dorgon, who entered the room, spoke first.

"You are here, Dugon."

An elderly Celine looking at the scenery outside the French windows looked back at Dagon.

"What are you looking for?"

"follow me."

The old Celine didn't say much, but went straight to a bookshelf and opened the mechanism. The bookshelf automatically opened to both sides, and a passage appeared in front of a somewhat stunned Dugon.

Dugon didn't know this passage, and he believed that many people in the family certainly didn't know it.

The old Matherine didn't say much, and took the lead to enter the passage opened by the bookshelf, and signaled Duagon to follow.

Inside the passage is a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor, portraits are hung neatly and symmetrically. Although Duagon focuses most of his attention on his father, he can't help but observe these portraits from his side.

Many of the people in the portrait don't even know them. The costumes of these people are different, some are tattered, some are old and barren, some are bright and beautiful, and some are dressed in imperial robes.

Along the way, the old Celine did not turn his head, but it seemed that there was a sky-opening eye behind him. Knowing that Duagon was watching the portrait in the corridor, he leisurely introduced him.

"These are the portraits of the sages of our royal family in the past. After each generation of the royal family's heads, they will be asked to leave their portraits in this passage. Only the heads of the royal family can enter this place."

Patriarch?

Duo Gun's heart moved slightly. Since his father brought himself here, that is to say, he intends to hand over the position of Patriarch to me?

Thinking of this, Duogun appeared calm, but his heart was no longer peaceful.

At this time, Duogun didn't notice that the old father walking in front of him, the head of the royal family, looked a bit thinner from the back than in the past.

The royal family leader asked, "Dagon, how long is our family history? Tell me."

"From now on, our family has almost continued for almost five thousand years of history."

He quickly settled his joyful mood, perhaps because he learned that he was about to succeed the Patriarch, but Dugon himself hadn't noticed, and his tone was a bit more flattering than usual.

They had already come to the end of the passage. It was a magnificent interior room. There were many items, some armors, some scrolls, cold weapons, or a broken bowl. They were carefully It is kept in this place, and it is the relic of the past patriarchs.

Looking at these dazzling items, the royal family owner sighed, very melancholy, and slowly told, as if it were his own memories.

"Yes, five thousand years. In these five thousand years, we have seen a lot and experienced a lot. It is not easy to come through ups and downs."

"There were periods of officialdom, generations of business, and generations of poverty and hunger. We have also experienced several family massacres, but we have all survived, and our blood continues to this day. Throughout the history of the Celine people, no family can do the same as ours and continue the family history for so long."

"Our family is a family that is favored by God. In every crisis, there will always be a strong man who can take on the important task, so that the family can continue. Now, the family has a new crisis... Do you have anything to say about this? ?"

Duogun didn't hear the tone of his father's intention. From the very beginning, he judged him wrongly. He misunderstood what he meant by asking about it, thinking that his father wanted to ask him what he wanted to be the head of the family.

So Dugon replied.

"I will be the strong man who can take on the important task."

However, in the next second, an alarm broke Dugon's dream. He scanned the surroundings in astonishment and found that the father in front of him had turned into a phantom.

Stereo projection? !

In the inner room, many organs were activated at this moment, and the activation was out of reach, and countless black spheres were fired. They stuck to Dagon, blocking his actions, and he became unable to move.

The virtual image of the royal patriarch reappeared, and he looked down at the fallen Dorgon~lightnovelpub.net~ and shook his head with disappointment.

"It seems that you are not."

"Bring disaster to the family, Dugon, you are not a strong man but a traitor. Unfortunately, you will be a harlequin who will be cast aside by others in the future."

Dugon, who was said by his father, immediately understood everything, and already understood that everything he had done had been exposed.

But there was still no regret in his heart, he yelled.

"No! I'm not wrong! It's you who betrayed the family! It's not me! All I have done is to defend the glory of the family! You cowards who are greedy and fearful of death are shameful traitors and should be cast aside!"

"A thousand years ago! Just because you cowards took the initiative to surrender the power of the empire, let the first head of state appear! The royal family is declining! The owner of the empire should be our royal family! It should not be any head of state!"

That’s right. Thousands of years ago, the empire belonged to the royal family. It was the royal family that established a constitutional monarchy system. Therefore, the head of state appeared, and the power was peacefully transferred to the head of state to complete the reform. It is precisely because of this that the empire defeated all countries and became The only government agency on this planet.

This can be said to be a success, but in Dugon's eyes, it is an extremely failure, extremely helpless, and extremely sad.

"This is where your obsession lies?" the royal patriarch asked.

"The change of power is the inevitability of history. The replacement of a backward system by a better system is irreversible helplessness. The result of rebelling against the natural process is to face the destiny of destruction. Our family understands this and it continues to the present. , Why don’t you understand? Dugon."

"History is always right! Because the strong are always right! I know this very well! Father, soon you will come to me! I firmly believe it!"
