Chapter 72 Teaching

"...In this way, due to the intervention of the Tiberius, the war entered a difficult stalemate stage..."

Ashu Rufate held the book and was absent-mindedly. The little girl sat opposite him, holding her chin in both hands, listening absent-mindedly.

Speaking of which, if a third party was present, he would definitely find the scene quite strange or interesting. Ash Rufate sat in front of the little girl in full arms, holding the book and chanting the contents of the books. He was chanting words one by one. Of course, there was no attraction in such emotional reading, so the little girl kept in a posture, and only God knew what her eyes were looking at.

As a minor queen, the little girl's learning tasks are actually quite heavy, or it seems to be quite heavy. Her current courses include music, art, horse riding, swordsmanship, history, geography, philosophy, linguistics, law, military, etc., and in theory, they should be too busy to get out of their way every day. But in fact, due to the leave of her loyal teacher, Ms. Gana, she has almost no learning tasks now.

"Ash Rufate, can't you not want to study?" The little girl finally spoke and interrupted Ash Rufate's dry study. "I've seen all these. Can you say something else?"

"Oh, it's the best to read it." Ashu Rufate put down the book. "You should..." He looked through the catalogue of the book. "Then don't teach this history of Garunas's invasion of Tiberius. Let's go to the next course about Garunas's construction of White Fort..."

"You are really not a good teacher, and Garunas is not an invasion of Tiberius. He is trying to punish Tiberius for his treason, breach of contract, and support the 'alliance' party."

"Is that true? But Garunas invaded Tiberi's land, burned, killed, plundered, and even massacred the city many times. These are obvious facts." Ashurufat replied easily. He found a book from a stack of books beside him - after all, it was royal education, and all kinds of books are very complete. "Well, by the way, just this book, related foreign historical works... It is clearly written on page 124. In this war, Garunas first launched a full-scale raid, and then massacred and plundered. Of course, he won the victory in the end, but it was not very honorable no matter how you say it."

"That is a punishment for Tiberius' betrayal!" The little girl looked disdainful. "They violated the treaty between the two sides and secretly supported the 'Alliance' side, allowing the coalition forces to engage in a long tug-of-war with Garunas, causing Grooni to suffer the pain of long-term war. This is the punishment they deserve! For Grooni's peace, this is necessary."

"For Groney's peace, more than 100,000 people were killed in Tiberius?" Ashurufate asked.

"That is necessary. To end the long dispute and get the peace I long for, killing is inevitable." The little girl said seriously. "Or do you think this is wrong?"

"As far as I see, of course it's right. But you will definitely think this is wrong."

"Hey, are you wrong?" the little girl shouted. "Now you think it's wrong, I think it's right."

"No." Ashu Rufate replied. "I was not wrong, at most I just said it was not honorable." He smiled, "Military, the victory was right. The result decided everything. Garunas finally gave Tiberi a fierce lesson, and directly attacked them so that they could not recover their vitality for more than ten years. With this, he finally defeated the resistance of the 'Alliance' and unified the land for the first time."

"Then why do you say I think this is wrong? I clearly agree with his approach."

"No, you don't understand. The reason why you can say he is right is because you already know the result of everything. Or, what you see is... these lifeless words." Ash Rufate said.

A trace of confusion flashed across the little girl's eyes. "Ashu Rufat, do you think... Garunas is not doing well enough? By the way, what 'chess deduction' you played last time..."

"That's a completely game," Asu Ruffat said lightly. "It's just a game, it doesn't mean anything."

"But I remember those people said that this game is a real war."

"No, there is no imitation," said Ashu Rufate. "It only tests the player's level of mastery of the geographical position and the ability to guess others' psychological ability. It should be said that it only imitates part of war...and very few part. To be honest, I think gambling is closer to war than this kind of 'war chess deduction' game."

"Gambling? You mean...like the casino we went out...and looked around?"

When they sneaked out before, the little girl and Ash Rufate went around a casino in the commercial area. Of course, they just watched it for a while and didn't really end up gambling.

"Well, it's all about fighting wits and courage."

"But gambling..." said the little girl. "I remember Jana once said that gambling, especially those who gamble big money, is rarely a fair contest, and they are cheating."

"That's right, it's true. Basically, it can be called 'gambling' rather than 'game' competition, then it will definitely not be a stern contest. When things involve large amounts of real money, it should be said that the stupidest one is not to use any tricks and entrust everything to fate."

"But war can't be used in any way! That can't be cheated."

"You are wrong. No matter how good you do, you can't tell me, because once the result is exposed, the victory or defeat just now will be invalid immediately. But this is not the case in war. Winning and defeat are the victory or defeat, and it is an unchangeable iron rule! So cheating in war is the real naked... Everyone cheats, and everyone knows that others cheat. Of course, since everyone cheats, and everyone knows that others cheat, it is not called cheating, it is called 'art of war'." Ashu Rufate said half-mockingly.

"You... are a fallacy..." The little girl actually wanted to refute it, but she couldn't find a suitable word for a while.

"Let me say that, when gambling, can you immediately turn your disadvantages into advantages when finding the key to others cheating? In war, if you can find the other party's tactical arrangement, is it equivalent to getting a huge advantage immediately? The truth is similar..."

"Ashu Rufate...you...seem to have learned a lot."

"A lot, really a lot." Ashu Rufat said softly, half of his answer and half of his sigh.

“How did you learn it?”

"I said I was born to know, do you believe it?"

"How is this possible! By the way, you said last time that you had been injured and lost your memory, but this only means that you have learned it in the past, not that you are born with it."

Ashrufat smiled softly. "Have you heard of a saying that the so-called 'amnesia' is actually a person's soul has become incomplete, and the soul has lost part of it for some unknown reason."

"I heard it." The little girl thought for a while and replied. "A academic hypothesis. I remember it was what the priest of the church told me... wait," when she talked about the priest of the church, she immediately remembered another thing. However, this time Ashu Rufate did not give her a chance to speak.

"According to this hypothesis, some gaps will be left in the incomplete soul. If other soul fragments are encountered at this time, these foreign fragments will be accepted. In other words, this person has memories that do not belong to him. My situation... should be like this."

"Why do you think these are memories of others, not those you already have?" The little girl also expressed her surprise.

"Because...of course there is some evidence." Ashu Rufate replied.

"Don't talk about this evidence, do you know, that day... during the ritual of the ritual..." The little girl blushed as she recalled what happened that day. "Later the priestess told me that you can also magic, right?"

"Ah..." Asu Ruffat actually wanted to deny it, but later he felt that he might not be able to deny it. "I have learned a little bit."

"I have learned a little bit, she said you must be an amazing magician. At least she has never encountered this skill of relieving magic. But you don't want to be a magician, but you are a good magician, but you are a personal guard... This means..."

"What does it mean?" Ashu Rufat asked.

"It means you must be a rich man, you don't care about the treatment of a magician, you just want to get a noble status for yourself. And it also means... you must have a history..."

The little girl suddenly stopped, her face turned red and she asked with a little hesitation.

"Do you... know how to be a king?"

She looked at Ashu Rufate. This question can be said to be very abrupt. Although the mother-in-law said that, the little girl was actually half-believing and half-doubted. Why is a guard so arrogant? The mother-in-law did not explain in detail, and she refused to explain in detail. There can be many understandings and explanations for this kind of thing. However, the most common and easiest to understand is that this person can be regarded as a "king" in a certain field. For example, the "king of business", such as "king of skillful hands", "king of fighting", etc. Among these titles, some only indicate that the person has supreme achievements in a certain field, but some also indicate that he has some kingly qualities.

"Does the emperor learn? This... maybe you know that a little bit." Ashu Rufate replied softly.

"Can you... teach me?" the little girl lowered her head and asked in a very respectful and polite tone. It can be seen that she was not used to doing this. Seeing Ash Rufate not answering for a moment, she immediately couldn't hold back her anger, "Jana taught me a lot, but only this... she couldn't teach me. Because she is not a queen. But I heard that the most important knowledge for a king is imperial science. Only imperial science is what the king really needs to learn and master. Compared with it, all other knowledge and skills are not worth mentioning." She said anxiously.

"The so-called 'imperial science' is not a science. It has no papers, works, etc., only some different logic, opinions and principles for various things. Even if these are not unified standards, different kings can have completely different views on the same thing, let alone the way of governance. The reason we call it 'imperial science' is simply because of the kind of title that those who do good will do whatever they want." Ashrufate replied. "Practice is your best teacher. When you grow up and truly control everything, you will slowly learn it."

Although you probably don't have the opportunity to practice it, Ashu Rufate said in his stomach.
