Tomorrow's Ark, the Battle of the Sick

The harem is the residence of the Ursas Emperor. Since the city was built, it has been an absolute forbidden area of ​​the Ursas Empire. His Majesty the Emperor and the nobles are in the main hall of the palace when they deal with major events, and in the side halls when they deal with miscellaneous affairs.

The harem study is the place where the emperor makes decisions and controls the entire empire.As the center of the center, the Ursus harem study is one of the most heavily guarded places in the world. If the emperor hadn't deliberately arranged it, it would be impossible to have no attendants like tonight on the eve of the coup d'état.

"Wina wait for me outside the door, it's okay."

Standing outside the study door, the doctor looked at the King of Propulsion and said something.

"But—I know."

The Push King hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

When the doctor walked into the study, he saw the emperor of the Ursus Empire who was destined to greatly enhance the imperial power after tonight.

And what His Majesty the Emperor did at this time was to turn his back to the doctor, personally holding a silver teapot, and pouring the fragrant black tea into the cup.

The dignified silver hair was untied, and the smooth long silver straight hair hung down like a waterfall behind her. Ursas's perfect facial features and mature pretty face showed a hint of laziness.At this time, His Majesty the Emperor is not like the Emperor, but more like a melancholic Highness Princess who suffers from insomnia at night.

Even among the nobles of the entire Ursus Empire, very few people had the opportunity to meet the Emperor of the Ursas Empire, but no one had ever stepped into His Majesty's harem study, and no one had seen His Majesty the Emperor being lazy and seductive at this time. The appearance of a person.

"make you worry."

This was the first sentence His Majesty said to the doctor after meeting him.

The doctor didn't say anything, and sat at the only round table in the study, watching His Majesty the Emperor personally bring the black tea to the table.

"What are you going to do from tomorrow?"

Compared with the emperor's easy-going attitude, the doctor's casual attitude was also unexpected. He picked up a piece of sugar from the porcelain plate and put it in his teacup, and then picked up two pieces for His Majesty the Emperor.

Seeing that the doctor sitting opposite still remembered her habits, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his eyes, as if he was considering his words.

"From tomorrow, many people will die first."

Amid the faint fragrance of black tea, His Majesty the Emperor said in a calm tone.

The doctor is not surprised by this.

"——If the trial is strictly according to the laws of the empire, I think so, after all, the nobles will soon lose the extrajudicial pardon they once had."

The Doctor knows what the nobles of Ursus have done, because imperial law cannot judge them de jure, but starting tomorrow that will change.

"Then I will take back many titles and allotted lands, cleanse the army, and continue to kill people until the entire empire is completely under my control." His Majesty the Emperor said calmly, with the flickering candlelight of the study dancing in the depths of his beautiful eyes. "Those nobles have ignored me for too long, it's time to remember who their master is."

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor called himself 'I', not 'I' in front of the doctor.

The doctor did not answer, and seemed to be silently looking at His Majesty the Emperor.

Sensing the doctor's gaze, His Majesty the Emperor remained silent, lowering his eyes without a word.In the past, the person who lowered his gaze was often a nobleman kneeling a few meters away from His Majesty the Emperor, but now the roles of the two parties seem to have been reversed, even though the doctor is not the leader of a powerful country, but just an ordinary person.

So ordinary that if it weren't for his slightly peculiar clothes, no one would notice even if he was thrown into the crowd.

And just one afternoon, in the garden given by the cousin, a certain princess, who has royal blood, likes to read books, and is unhappy, noticed him.

"All this is for your people, for your family." The doctor sensed His Majesty's thoughts and comforted him softly. "Also for the ideal you once had."

"My personal ideals are not worth mentioning in front of national interests."

His Majesty's tone was serious, but without the indifference that kept people thousands of miles away.

"But the two are not in conflict, are they?" The doctor took a sip of the black tea made by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Although the technique was not as skillful as Hei's, she had tried her best. "I personally think that you will make a very good emperor, although the boundary of what I mean by 'good' may be a little fuzzy."

"Good emperor—"

His Majesty the Emperor was drinking warm black tea carelessly, with his slender white fingers on the table, and he did not wear a ring like ordinary aristocratic emperors, especially the ring finger of his left hand.

"At least you have contributed a lot to maintaining the unity and stability of the Ursus Empire. This is one of them." Looking at the exhausted and slightly tired Emperor, the doctor couldn't bear it. "How should I put it, there is also a friendly attitude towards Rhodes Island? Everyone in Rhodes Island has also reached a consensus on this point. The Ursus Empire is our important ally."

Not solid until tonight though, thought the Doctor.

"Then if one day, when I cut off your alliance with you for the benefit of the empire, or even become your enemy, would you still say these words?"

His Majesty the Emperor chuckled and looked at the doctor meaningfully.

Maybe even she herself didn't realize how beautiful her smile was at this time, and it was only possible to show such a beautiful smile when she let go of all defenses like the king of propulsion.

The doctor was speechless for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"I haven't thought about that."

His Majesty the Emperor did not expect the doctor to respond like this, and stared at him silently.

"Because I didn't think so far at the time, for example, you will inherit the long-hanging throne, and I will crack the secret of the origin stone and overcome the ore disease." Speaking of this, the doctor's tone was a little emotional, "After all, we know each other so well. It’s been a long time, and I really didn’t expect to get to where I am today, so I must admit that this is an omission of mine.”

After all, no matter how smart one is, it is impossible for a mortal to predict everything, especially one's own fate.

"However, if that day comes, I won't blame you."

It didn't take long for the doctor to come to this conclusion, as if it was a matter of course.

"You have worked very hard. Not only have you done more than anyone else, but you have done better than anyone else, but I know you have been lonely."

Softly speaking extremely disrespectful words to His Majesty the Emperor, the doctor stood up and walked to His Majesty the Emperor.

Although standing beside them, the distance between the two is no longer what it was before, it seems extremely far away.

However, even after understanding this point, the doctor still stretched out his hand, as he did to other operators, as a friend, to stroke the soft long silver hair on His Majesty's head.

His Majesty the Emperor had already forgotten how long it had been since someone touched her head like the Doctor.
