"Wow...that's..." The imperial capital Heimdall, Balfraim Palace, the "Crystal Garden" located in the deepest part of the palace, is the place where Emperor Yukent who doesn't like to appear in public most often stays. Almost every afternoon, he would come to this garden after finishing his pitiful affairs, and admire the garden designed by himself and the rare flowers from all over the world. Occasionally, Princess Priscilla or imperial officials who came to the palace to do business were invited to accompany them-in short, this was a place for the emperor to relax.

But today is a bit abnormal, because the emperor who always came here in the afternoon to spend his leisure time, got up early today, and then simply tidied up, he came to this crystal garden early and ordered people to see through the windows. The painting is hidden-the garden adopts a one-way design, at the expense of a small part of the view inside the garden, to protect the emperor's personal privacy-in other words, the outside scenery can be seen inside the garden, On the outside, you can't see what's doing inside. Although this design has not yet fully matured in the Semurian continent, the emperor's usual lighting here is somewhat affected, but this is after all to protect privacy, so he reluctantly accepted it. But today there is a big event. He doesn't want to miss even the smallest details because of this design. For this matter, he even specifically ordered to go down and cancel Cedric’s prince training course this morning, just to not miss the details of this time-Cedric, who learned of his father’s intentions, was also very happy and looking forward to it. At the moment, he is discussing with his mother Priscilla what his father told him.

"Although I have asked many times...but my elder brother has not been willing to tell me the details, only saying that "Red Wing" is already under construction. "Although Cedric is the crown prince, he is obviously weak in character that does not fit his identity. At this moment, without others, he is actually acting like a baby to his mother: "Ah, I didn't expect... When my father told me just now, I almost lost my mind. "

"Really." Princess Priscilla smiled and touched her son's cheek affectionately. "Olibate didn't tell you because you still don't understand those professional things-besides, he even touched me. You and your father kept it secret until a few days ago, the trustee brought the news that they would sail over the Imperial Capital for the first time this morning."

"It turned out to be like this... but why?" Cedric asked suspiciously, Priscilla's smile froze a little.

"...Because this is the only way to achieve sufficient results." The emperor Yukent was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "If the plan is announced early, it will definitely leak to the nobles, reformers and other forces. The media will also spread all kinds of gossip. If that happens, the first voyage of "Red Wing" will lose a lot of its significance. "

"..." Priscilla's eyes were dim. Why doesn't she understand this truth? She just didn't want her son to come into contact with these things in the power field prematurely, even if it was his destined destiny, a choice he couldn't escape.

"Your brother has chosen a difficult one, but once it succeeds, it may completely change the path of the entire country." Eukent is obviously choosing the wording, and wants his son to understand and accept these principles, "and politically never There is no complete ally-no matter how unbreakable the bond that relies on the combination of interests, there will be the possibility of a break at the moment when the common interests are realized. So, no matter on the surface, your brother is against Prime Minister Osborne or It's what kind of attitude Duke Kane has, but sooner or later, they will have various forms of conflict-these just mentioned are just the simplest level of "greeting". "

"...There are similar words in the book." Cedric lowered his head and whispered: "Are these... inevitable?"

"You will slowly accept this." Ukent's tone slowed down, "and it must be accepted. There is an old saying in the East that when an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent, and it is the same for a country. Even if it is I, the emperor, the head of Ereponia, a huge empire with thousands of years of heritage and heritage, is just a more advanced chess piece. No one can stay out of the matter. It has nothing to do with personal grievances and preferences, just when you In that position, you must do that, and a qualified upper-level person will not be affected by these personal grievances in his judgment of the situation. You must remember this."

"...Yes." Although Cedric's eyes showed that he still had a lot of things to say, he still didn't ask, because of his cowardly nature, he just replied against Jukent's intention. Of course the emperor was aware of the confusion and doubts in his son's heart, but that was just what it had always been. At the moment, he just sighed inaudibly and ignored it—not to mention it, maybe it’s like what Gillies said. That way, some things require some unforgettable experience to completely change.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. The time is almost up. Then keep your eyes open and take a good look at what your brother does next."

"Yes, father." After hearing these words, Cedric's mood improved a lot. After all, Olibat was still a very close and trusted person-but for people like Prime Minister Osborne, he had always been inexplicable. His awe and longing, only when he tried to mention this to his brother, Olibate showed a very terrible and gloomy face-although the negative emotions did not seem to be because he raised such a question. Feeling angry, but Cedric still regrets asking like this. However, Olibate only gave an evaluation of Prime Minister Osborne-and Cedric's evaluations of those social critics that he saw in some newspapers and periodicals were correct. It's just that after this incident, he never talked to Olibat about anything about the prime minister.

However, for some reason, at this moment, Cedric suddenly flashed the shadow of another person in his mind-the boy who had a good conversation with his sister Alfin, and even asked his father and mother to think about it, that The elder brother repeatedly mentioned that Heliga, who will be young next year, but bottomless in strength.

If it were him, what kind of evaluation would he make?

With this kind of thinking, Cedric's somewhat sluggish eyes kept looking at the ceiling with the one-way shading layer removed - until the touch of red passed through the blue sky.
