"Teacher...?"

Ilsa wrapped herself in the quilt, holding her knees and sitting on the side of the bed, slowly raising her head and looking at Su Cheng who was standing in front of her.

Although there was no light in the room, and the surroundings were dark, Su Cheng, who had adapted to the darkness just now, could clearly see what Ilsa looked like now.

Ilsa was wearing a set of ordinary single clothes and those beautiful purple pupils, her eyes were full of tears at this time, and her eyes were red.

Pain, helplessness, helplessness... all kinds of emotions flowed from Ilsa's beautiful purple pupils.

"Ilsa..."

Su Cheng murmured the name of the helpless girl again, and once again approached Ilsa a few steps. After reaching the bed, Su Cheng squatted down.

As soon as Su Cheng squatted down, Ilsa suddenly continued to say in her crying voice:

"Teacher...help me..."

With tears in her eyes, Ilsa stretched out her little hands that trembled slightly from fear, and grasped Su Cheng's sleeves tightly.

"I don't want to go out... I don't want to be an emperor... Save me..."

As soon as the voice fell, Ilsa finally couldn't bear it, big tears rolled from her eyes.

"Why is it like this... I don't want to be an emperor... Why don't I let my father be the new emperor, but let me be the emperor...?"

"Help me... Teacher..."

A few days ago--

December 25, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Gozewen’s bedroom.

"Father. I'm here. How are you?"

After entering Gozewen's bedroom, Gail immediately asked about Gozewen's physical condition.

The year-end dinner is about to be held. Gale, who is responsible for supervising and managing the road construction of the bandits, also rushed back to the imperial capital, preparing to participate in this year's year-end dinner.

Not long after returning to the imperial capital, Gale suddenly received a summon from Gozewen.

Gal just wanted to meet Go Zewen who was sick now, so he rushed to Go Zewen's bedroom immediately after receiving Go Zewen's summons.

Under the intentional concealment of Jacob and Gozewen, only Gozewen and Jacob and the doctors who were in charge of treating Gozewen knew that Gozewen was suffering from an incurable and terminal illness at this time.

Others—including Gail and Ilsa, didn’t know that Gozewen was terminally ill, and thought that Gozewen was just suffering from a serious illness that was a little troublesome to cure.

After entering Gozewen's bedroom, Gail asked about Gozewen's physical condition, and walked quickly to Gozewen's bed.

At this time, in the dormitory of Gozewen, in addition to the two fathers and sons of Gozewen and Gail, Jacob was also present.

Jacob was standing beside Gozewen's bed at this time, his face expressionless.

As soon as Gail's greeting fell, Ge Zewen chuckled slightly:

"Don't worry, Gail. The treatment process is not bad, but I may have to lie down in bed for a long time."

In order not to worry about his son and to let too many people know about his terminal illness, Gozewen lied that his treatment process was not bad.

"That's good." Gail smiled like a sigh of relief, "Father, you have to pay more attention to your body. After all, you are also older. When you get better this time, you should pay more attention to your diet and Rest."

"Hahaha, so are you, Gail. You also have to pay more attention to your body, pay more attention to rest and diet."

...

After the father and son met for a long time, they exchanged greetings.

However, not long after the greeting, Ge Zewen suddenly asked Gail with a serious face:

"Gail, do you love this country and the Britannia Empire?"

After hearing this sudden question from Gozewen, Gail was taken aback for a while.

Afterwards, almost conditioned reflex, Gale replied immediately:

"Of course I love it! I have always worked hard with the goal of making the Britannia empire prosperous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gail paused.

Then asked Ge Zewen:

"Father, why do you suddenly ask me about this?"

"..." Ge Zewen was silent.

After being silent for a while, Ge Zewen said solemnly:

"Gail, since you have been working hard with the goal of making the Britannia empire prosperous, are you willing to make some sacrifices?"

Without waiting for Gail's answer, Gozewen went on to say:

"Gail. I'm old now, and my energy and brain flexibility are not as good as before."

"So—I plan to abdicate."

"I want to pass the throne to someone who is more suitable for this seat."

"Gail... I don't think you are suitable for being an emperor."

"So I plan to change our crown prince to Ilsa."

"Ilsa will be the next emperor."

After Ge Zewen's words fell, the whole bedroom fell into a long silence.

Gail, Gozewen, and Jacob standing beside the bed did not speak any more.

Both Gozewen and Jacob looked at Gail quietly.

Gail looked at Gozewen in front of him in shock and bewilderment.

After a long time, Gail, who was finally relieved, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Father... you mean... do you think Ilsa is more suitable to be an emperor than me...?"

"...Yes." Ge Zewen nodded.

"Father! Why?!"

Gail's voice was out of control:

"Father! Why do you think that Ilsa, who is less than 10 years old, is more suitable to succeed as the new emperor of the Britannia Empire than I, who has been the crown prince for so many years!"

"...Gail, your personal abilities are outstanding. From the perspective of abilities, you come to be the new emperor of this empire and there is no problem at all."

"But-your character is too flawed."

Speaking of this, Ge Zewen sighed softly, and then continued:

"You don't know how to be sympathetic to your subordinates and your citizens."

"Every official or civil servant who has worked under your hands is suffering."

"What impressed me most was that you once asked you to supervise and manage a group of civil servants to repair the waterways."

"You have accomplished this task very well, but you have tossed and almost rioted this batch of civilian husbands under your control."

"All the time, I have never stopped accusing you of being too harsh on people and not being compassionate."

"Passing the throne to you, I can't imagine what the future of the empire will look like."

"I can't bear to watch the great situation that the empire has so hard to come by right now and ruin it."

"Even though Ilsa is young, she is a clever child. Every teacher who is responsible for teaching her praises Ilsa's cleverness."

"Ilsa is also a gentle child. She is kind and friendly, and knows how to be compassionate to others. When she followed the bandit army to the west not long ago, her affinity and friendliness helped her gain in the army. A huge popularity."

"Her intelligence, coupled with her kindness, I believe that when Ilsa reaches adulthood and grows up, she will surely become a good monarch and continue the current good situation of our empire."

"Although she is still young and can't handle government affairs well, as long as you and Jacob are assisted, I believe that Ilsa will be able to adapt to the role of empress soon."

"So--Gail, are you willing to give up the crown prince for our empire and give the crown and future crown to your daughter?"

Gozewen asked Gael this question again.

"..." Gal did not answer immediately, but closed his mouth tightly.

Unconsciously, his hands were clenched tightly.

And Jacob on the side also stared at Gail~lightnovelpub.net~ If Gail did anything unusual, Jacob would immediately rush to suppress him.

Although he hasn't practiced martial arts for many years, he was once called a "Juggernaut" when he was young. Even if he hasn't practiced martial arts for decades, his muscles still have memories of fighting people.

After a long time of silence, Gail said in a deep voice with a somewhat hoarse voice:

"...Since my father thinks Ilsa is more suitable than me to be the emperor of the Britannia, then for the country I love deeply, I am willing to..."

Speaking of this, Gail tightened his lips again, gritted his teeth, and concentrated all his energy on the vocal cords and tongue, so that his tongue could continue to turn well, so that the vocal cords could continue to happen well:

"...Release the position of the crown prince and let Ilsa become the new crown prince of our empire..."

After that, Gail seemed to have lost his strength, drooping his head, expressionless.

"Okay." Gozewen smiled as if relieved, "Then—Jacob, go and call Ilsa for me."
