73. The Crown Princess (3)(1/2)
Holding Soso's hand tightened, Siro's expression was gentle and his tone was almost seductive, "We are happy together, aren't we?"
Susuo blinked for a long time and nodded hesitantly.
"So living with me is not an unbearable thing? I will protect you, no matter if the other party is the Emperor of the Killing Empire or King Golan, or even anyone." Siro leaned forward slightly, "a completely different way of getting along and relationship with Dilin."
"Dilin?" Suo Suo's eyes were determined, as if he had found the direction from the crowd.
A trace of gloom flashed in Siro's eyes very quickly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Dirin has Hydein, they are the future lifelong companions."
"I know. I just want to be Dilin's neighbor."
...
Would you rather be Dilin's neighbor watching him and Hydein from a distance than spend his life with him?
Silo pursed his lips.
"Are you angry?" Suo Suo wanted to raise his hand, but found that his hand was still held in his palm.
"No. I'm thinking." Siro raised his lips, "I'm thinking, what will Diling face when she returns to Shamanlier."
Looking at him in confusion.
"If I remember correctly, Dilling is now an assistant coach at St. Pades Magic Academy."
"Yes. He is Hydein's assistant." As Soso said, his tone was filled with honor and pride.
"So, he has given up the inheritance of the Baseco family." Siro said, "but this time he went to the empire to use the name of the Baseco family. Such a borrowing should cause trouble for him, right?"
Suo Suo was stunned for a moment, his brows frowned slightly.
Siro continued: "Baseco is a big family, and it does not belong to Andre alone. Even if he is the current patriarch of the Baseco family, it is impossible for Dilin to use the family relationship endlessly, especially to use their relationship to bring the family into dangerous predicament."
"Dangerous dilemma?"
"King and Queen Gu Lan will not tolerate your existence, not only because of your origin, but also because of your relationship with the Basseko family. In order to eliminate the roots, they will definitely put forward favorable conditions to instigate the Emperor of Shamanlier to hand you over. At that time, the only thing the Basseko family can do is to support you ascend to the throne of Gu Lan."
Suo's face turned pale.
Siro said: "Go Lan and Shamanlier have always been allies. If the above inference becomes reality, then the war between Goo Lan and Shamanlier will break out immediately. King Goo Lan will not give up on the right to get it, and the Barseko family will not give up on you."
Soso murmured, "I can go back to St. Pades."
"If you go back to St. Pades, you can't bring any benefits to Shamanlier." Silo paused and said, "You know, I made a deal with Dillin. The reason why Shamanlier and the Barseco family can agree with the existence of this deal is because they feel that they can get the benefits they deserve from you. Once this benefit does not exist, Dillin will face the double pressure from Emperor Shamanlier and the Barseco family."
Soso's eyes dimmed.
Siro felt cold sweat oozing into his palms.
"But I'm different." He said softly, "I can protect you. The Gu Lan and the Ke Ding Empire are originally hostile countries. I don't need to worry that King Gu Lan will put pressure on the empire." Of course, these words were mixed with a considerable amount of moisture, but most of them were facts.
Suohuo lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Why?"
"Because King Gulan is not strong enough."
"No, I'm asking, why did you propose to me...?" Suo looked up, his face full of confusion.
"Because," Siro stood up, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "I want to be with you."
The sosolid roots are red.
"You don't have to answer me right away, but I hope I get the answer as soon as possible." Siro took his hand and walked back, "You can start thinking from now on."
The night is long.
When Soso and Siro returned from the romantic candlelight supper, it was still dark.
Siro took Soso to the door of the tent, and after watching him enter, his smile disappeared. He turned around and left the camp, walked to the side of the carriage that was parked not far away, opened the door and sat on it.
Not long after, Garren bowed and crawled in.
"Your Highness."
"Is the vote so soon?" Siro's voice looked particularly gloomy in the dark.
Gallen said: "Yes. Parliament passed the initial proposal."
"Did the Richard and Danya agree?" Even though darkness obscured his expression, it could not hide the anger revealed in every word and sentence.
Gallen said: "The votes of the Danya and Richard are scattered, and the total number is equal. But His Majesty and Mrs. Rachel have installed many secret chess in the parliament in recent years, and this time, these secret chess pieces have been exposed."
Siro said: "I can imagine how furious he made such an idiot decision that brought the entire empire to the colonization of his own!"
"Your Highness?" Gallon rarely saw him so angry. "It is only a proposal and has not been amended to the Constitution."
Siro said: "But it has been extremely obvious that he has not achieved his goal and is willing to burn both sides."
Gallon was silent for a while and said, "I think that at the critical moment, the Danya family and the Richard family will stand on His Highness's side."
Siro said: "If they are sane."
"Maybe this is a good thing. If Your Majesty really supports the provision that the God of Light proposed by them to crown the imperial emperor, it will inevitably cause criticism from the major families of the empire. They may fall to His Highness's side."
Siro said: "Things are not so simple. Don't forget that the authority to expand the parliament is in the hands of the emperor. If necessary, he can install others in the parliament at any time, and has achieved the goal of controlling the parliament's voting. The reason why he did not do this before was that he did not want to offend several other major families. But if the Richard and Danya family were unable to join his camp for a long time, his IQ would force him to make this decision."
Gallen frowned and said, "The family's role is not just to vote in parliament. I don't think there is any benefit to His Majesty doing this."
"Of course there is." Siro said, "After controlling the voting of the parliament and passing the clause of crowning the imperial emperor by the God of Light, he can abolish the crown prince in the name of the God of Light and support the prince he likes. If he does this kind of thing alone, he will be rebounded by all families and be alone in power. But if he tied the God of Light, he will be evenly matched."
The more Galen listened, the more frightened he became, "But from then on, the lifeline of the empire will be held in the hands of the God of Light."
"Do you think he will care now?"
"Your Highness said that His Majesty's original purpose was to get rid of the constraints of various major families."
Siro closed his eyes and sighed, "He is not suitable for this. His courage and wisdom are only enough to deal with women. Moreover, things have evolved to this point and are no longer the time to promote idealism. Now there is only one thing that occupies our minds, how to get rid of each other."
"Your Highness, will you go back to Variel as soon as possible?" Gallen asked. In fact, they received the news that Castalon II handed over the proposal of the God of Light to the Parliament for voting. The day before yesterday. At that time, he was about to untie the seal for Soso, but the matter was temporarily stranded. Unexpectedly, in less than two days, the Parliamentary vote had been passed.
Siro did not answer immediately.
Gallon felt the atmosphere in the car was very depressing.
Siro said slowly, "Let's go tomorrow."
For Soso, the process from today to tomorrow is particularly long.
Even when he returned to the tent and lay on the bed, his mind still kept flashing scenes in the woods in the early morning. The candlelight of dinner, the steak for dinner, and the words of Siro. He always thought that his memory was not very good, but this time, he remembered every word of Siro very clearly.
"I hope you can work with me to protect this beautiful and fertile country and bring peace and happiness to the friendly people."
Protect the country?
Can he?
Soso was very confused. He had never expected that he could protect a country, including Gu Lan. Since he became sensible, his comments have always been stupid, useless, cumbersome, etc. Although these comments were not heard in person, the comments behind them seemed more real.
Although, when he knew that his mental power was sealed, he had secretly thought that one day would become stronger, this kind of power was only used to protect his friends, such as Dilin, Ramon, and Siro. He never thought that one day a person would invite him to protect a country and its people, and was one of the two most powerful countries in the Dream Continent.
The more he thought about it, the less he couldn't sleep, and he couldn't help changing his clothes and running out of the tent.
"Your Highness." A guard came out of secret.
Soso said, "I want to see Dilin."
The guard pointed to the tent next to him and said, "This is the tent of Lord Dilling and Lord Hydein."
"Thank you." He walked to the door of the tent gently, and remembered that before dawn, Dilling and Hydein were still sleeping.
The night was quiet, and only the fire in the middle of the tent occasionally made a sizzling sound of burning.
Soso shook back and forth in front of the tent several times, and was about to leave when he saw that the tent was lifted up. Hyde was wearing a wide nightgown and hugging his chest, staring at him unhappily.
"Ah. Hydein... mentor!" Soso immediately stood at attention and said nervously, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Hyde pointed his finger outward.
Soso took several steps back.
Heide put down the curtain of the tent, and after a while, he changed into a clean magician robe and walked out.
"Teacher." Soso whispered. Heiden was always a object of awe for him. When facing him, he would always become a child who didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"I haven't taught you anything," Hydein said lightly.
Soso said, "But you saved me."
Hyde said, "Then you should call me a benefactor."
"...benefactor." Suosuo obeyed.
Hyde accepted calmly, "You seem a little trouble, hope it's because of the magical problem."
Soso's face turned red, "No." Among his few specialties, he did not include lying.
"The expected answer. Because Siro and your morning date?" Hyde hit the nail on the head.
Suo looked at him in shock, "How do you know?"
"This is not the point, the point is your choice," Hydein said.
His face collapsed.
"We'll leave tomorrow. Who are you going to go with?" Hydein paused, "or are everyone going together?"
