A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

When Antaxia brought up the first batch of ornaments that were going to be dedicated to Wang Guo, Eddie only took one look and asked her to take them all away.

He didn't like to wear any accessories, he just felt that it was cumbersome to hang things that would rattle when he moved.But at tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, even in order not to lose the face of the people who have prepared so hard for so long, he still has to pick one to show off.

The first ornaments brought up were the most exquisite and expensive in terms of value and workmanship.But why...

"Don't think about it, just because I don't like gold."

Eddie explained it in just one sentence.

He didn't say why he didn't like it, but judging from the frown he frowned after he glanced at the golden thing, and the look he looked away in disgust, this color seemed to evoke quite a strange feeling. wonderful memories.

Of course, the look of disgust only paused on the face for a very short time, and disappeared the next moment.Eddie said casually, "Change it to something else, silver or gemstones, whatever."

"Yes, Wang, I'm going to re-select."

Antaxia obviously did not expect that such a precious thing as gold would not be able to please the king.

However, since the king had already said that, she would not say much, and took off the gold ornaments without hesitation, and continued to choose other ornaments for the king.

Eddie looked at the back of the girl who was walking in a hurry but with firm steps, thought for a while, and held back, and swallowed the sentence "It's better not to pick it, just go up it so refreshingly".

"That's why I find it troublesome...forget it."

He, the king who had nothing to do after being unburdened, fell into a rather boring state at this time.

"Before Antasya comes back with a bunch of things, let's just go out for a stroll."

talking to himself, and—

Eddie picked up Solomon, who had been by his side and never left him, with one hand. Just as he finished talking about going out for a stroll, he left the palace without a pause.

The imperial palace they left behind was completely different from two years ago, and the royal capital they saw was also quite different from two years ago.

Basically, a change in the "good" direction.

The girl consul who has not been in office for a long time is indeed more suitable for governing the country than His Majesty the king. Her political acumen and business acumen have been personally approved by a king of a neighboring country who did not want to be named.

It took only two years for Papara to feel completely new.

Eddie almost never cared what kind of decree Antaxia issued in his name. He only needed to use his own eyes to see the silent changes in the country and make sure that such changes were good. .

He didn't carry Solomon as usual, and he either sat carelessly in the tavern, or stopped halfway, watching Solomon being rubbed in the arms of women, and laughing beside him.

The city wall has just been built.

Standing on the top of the city wall, the height is enough for him to have a panoramic view of a small king's capital. The palace, which has finally grown from a simple building to a majestic one, is at the farthest distance, covered by a corner of the closely connected houses in front.

"..."

"Ten years."

After looking at the city wall for so long, Eddie still hasn't looked back.

The only ones who could hear his voice were Solomon who was hugged by him, and the black eagle that descended from the sky at some time and landed on his shoulders.

Talking to Solomon is not much different from talking to yourself.Therefore, Eddie seemed to be expressing emotion to Lucas.

"It was just a whim at first, but I never thought I would do it to this extent, and it's only been ten years."

"Say what, my country—"

"mine."

Eddie repeated some two words in the words, looking thoughtful.

If it can talk, the eagle will definitely agree.It's a pity that it can't, so Lucas accompanied him, and the two pairs of golden eyes looked at the real distance.

Looking at the past for the last time, taking all the countries in his eyes into his eyes, Eddie finally showed a smile that seemed to be relieved, but also more like showing pride.

"That's right. It really is here."

"Say it."

"Hey."

"Although it's a bit early to say this now, but—"

"Jedidia!"

It seems that from a certain sentence in the middle, the emotion like talking to myself has become a personal conversation.

Solomon was actually looking out, because there was only this vast scene in front of him, and he couldn't see anything else at all...

No, I can see it.

At a fairly close distance, this strange man can still be seen.

It was at this moment that Solomon realized that Eric's last few words were addressed to him.

He turned his head and turned his face in the direction where he could see Eric.However, before he could see clearly, the man's palm landed on the top of his head, making him turn his head back again, as if he must open his eyes wide to see the whole picture of the small country called Papara more clearly .

"You will also be a king in the future." Eddie just said, "Then, let me take a good look at it now."

"Although after such a long time, it is considered that the country has what it should look like, and Antaxia is worried that if there are no stricter laws and regulations as a warning, it will make people too loose. But, I like it like this .”

"It's not just Antaxia. A long time ago, there seems to be someone who said something similar to me. As a king, you must have the majesty of a king. It is reasonable to stand above your subjects and let them love you. while being in awe..."

Solomon had already seen clearly, all the outlines of the royal city were not missed, and he didn't know what the man wanted him to see.

So Solomon looked at it for a while, then turned his head back.

This time Eric didn't turn his head forcibly, so Solomon finally saw it very smoothly. The face of the man who was still looking forward seemed to be covered with a layer of calmness, and in his never-fading golden eyes, There is also that very light haze that is similar.

Of course, Eric in Solomon's eyes quickly restrained his strangeness, and even made an uncomfortable cut, muttering: "It's fine to remind me of that bastard, but now I find out that I still suffer from it." The guy's influence—"

So frustrating.

But it cannot be denied that this is the fact.And, that blingy blond guy he called a bastard was a really good king.

Uruk thousands of years ago left an indelible impression on Eddie. The people of Uruk, including the king of Uruk, made him, who is now a king, subconsciously want to Move closer to that free, positive, and passionate country that has been submerged in history.

However, there is still a difference.

Gilgamesh, who became a virtuous king in the later period, should be the most perfect king. While being loved by the people, he always put himself in the highest position and distanced himself from the people.

Eddie's nature is different from that of Gilgamesh, so he skips the distance step and ignores the arrogance that the king of Uruk often possesses.This was the only suggestion from the consul that he rejected, and there was no room for maneuver.

"Well, that's just my style."

Eddie asked Solomon, "What do you think? Love it, or hate it?"

"..."

Solomon still looked at him blankly.

Can't judge.

Can't tell what is like and what is not.

The mirror-like eyes that could only project objects captured the man's once again—again disappointment.

In fact, Solomon didn't know that this expression represented "disappointment". He just saw it on Eric's face many times, and every time, it was when Eric asked for his opinion and didn't get what he wanted. appeared after the response.

"Is it still not working? Well, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

He said that every time, and this time was no exception.

"I've told you so much... Forget it, just treat it as me telling myself."

Then they came down from the wall.

Walking on the clean and level streets that no longer have potholes, the figures of Wang and Wang's children who are always with him were spotted by the residents at the first time.

"King! Tomorrow is your enthronement ceremony. Are you going to hang out at this time?"

"My lord, this is freshly baked bread, please take one and taste it."

Surrounded, but the man who couldn't move forward was not angry at all.

He spoke to everyone around him, by name.It was as if he was chatting with someone he knew very ordinaryly, his tone was too peaceful, and his expression was too lively.

Solomon also saw this scene in his eyes.

What Antaxia said might just happen to be right. It's not that Solomon hasn't changed, but that his changes are too weak to be seen on the surface.

Watch, learn, think.

Is this what a man wants to let him "see"

In addition to talking to the king, many people also greeted Solomon with a smile, saying——

"Good afternoon, Jedidiah."

"Jedidiah, good boy, hold out your hand and give you a snack."

"The king won't take you to the tavern again, really, king! Jedidia is still so young, it's too early to go to that kind of place!"

These faces are not unfamiliar, because they have seen countless times, and they were all met when Eric brought him out.

Solomon still didn't know their names, but, slowly, he was able to remember these faces in his mind.

Maybe it could come in handy in solving the confusion—he thought so.

strange man.

strange people.

strange country.

Like, hate, or what, how to evaluate

In Solomon's heart, which had nothing, this slight "confusion" unexpectedly sprouted silently.

Although, at this time, he has not taken the initiative to solve this confusing idea at all, and just keeps the information collected through observation.

but……

Solomon's calm gaze passed over the faces that he remembered little by little, and landed on the white wall not far away that happened to be shrouded in sunlight.

At first, the sunlight was only slightly slanted, leaving an obvious halo pattern.

It didn't seem that long had passed, and the beam of light composed of gleaming light spots continued to tilt, moving from the wall to the corner without a trace.Finally, disappear into the mud.

The sun has set.

Wait until the same light climbs up the high wall from the dark soil again, and makes the land under the sky see light again—and so, the beginning of a new day comes.

Step, step, step.

Early in the morning, the long street leading directly to the empty square outside the palace was buried by a sea of ​​people.

Step, step, step.

In the palace, the palace people who have been idle for a long time after taking office are finally busy.They have to put the items needed for the ceremony in their proper place, and also prepare the guard of honor for His Majesty the King.

Very busy.However, because the big step of praying to the gods and offering sacrifices was omitted, it was still busy, and even the pace was much easier.

tread, tread, tread—

Where are these footsteps coming from again?

Ah, the answer is a no-brainer.

Everyone has been waiting for this moment.

Looking forward to it.

Bathed in the bright sunshine that seems to know the importance of today, feeling the warmth and inner excitement, I can't wait to look up and look at the high platform built in front of the palace.

Finally, the tall figure they were waiting for appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Wang's steps are always big, and he can drag the people behind him down a long way without taking a few steps.

But only this time, he slowed down.

Walking up the stone steps that climb up one level at a time, the road to the throne on the high platform is only so long.

The king turned his back to the countless pairs of fiery eyes behind him, and stopped in front of the throne.

"My king."

"King, King, His Majesty the King!"

"Our king, Eric—"

I don’t know who started it—Wang suspected that it was Antaxia who stayed in front of the steps, who was closest to him—in an instant, the fragmented and one after another calls gathered together, and the waves of voices came like a waterfall. The momentum is enough to reach the sky.

"It's so noisy, what are you urging, didn't it just stop for a while."

Wang said.

When the voice fell, he turned around and sat on the gorgeous throne that everyone had prepared for the king for a long time.

With just one leg raised, even on such a solemn occasion, Wang still sat obliquely, with his right hand holding his slightly tilted head, letting the still unfettered silver hair slide down against his cheek.

"Well, it seems like ten years ago... I told you guys."

"If you follow me, you may die without a place to bury you at some point."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the deafening cheers disappeared immediately.And after the indifferent voice spread and reached everyone's ears, the even more shocking sound really resounded through the sky.

The king heard the most unified voice.

It is not yet possible to judge whether it suits his heart, but the smile that appeared on the corner of his lips at this moment cannot be hidden.

After waiting on the ground for a long time, the assistant officer who finally climbed the stairs whispered in the king's ear: "Your Majesty, do you have any announcements to convey to your people?"

"Declaration."

Wang seemed to be thinking for a while before slowly raising his head to look down at the dark crowd gathered below.

The feeling that surfaced in my heart at this time was very strange, quite novel.

But it wasn't too bad.

It is certainly impossible for him to say those high-sounding or pompous empty words, let alone long-winded speeches.

The so-called manifesto is actually the thought he wants to pass on to all those who look up to and yearn for himself while sitting here.

So, keep it short.

"For you, there is only one request."

Wang stared straight ahead, enveloping everyone's tiny figures in his shining golden eyes.

However, there is still a small detail that is not worth mentioning.

When the assistant officer stepped up the steps and respectfully came to the king's throne, he was still holding a young child in his hand.

When the official declaration was uttered, Wang actually turned his eyes slightly to his side, and had a brief look with the young child who was held by the assistant officer for a second.

"On the premise of guarding the bottom line."

"Just do whatever you want to do."

The figure of the man that met Solomon's empty eyes was different now than at any other time.

The gorgeous robes replaced the black clothes that never changed. Although the general color was still black, it was inlaid with silver threads to fit the edges, and the corners of the robe and the hem that almost touched the ground were outlined with red patterns.

It will not look complicated, but because of the combination of these colors, it will add a bit of grace and stability to the majestic man that has never been revealed before.

Even if many people said on weekdays that, except for the waywardness of throwing all the tasks to His Excellency Antasia, His Majesty Eric does not look like a king at all, everyone can ignore the difference in status and joke with him.

But, at this very moment.

People gathered here, awed by the king's demeanor, and completely conquered.

Just follow him, just look at his back, just trust him - that's the only thought that comes to mind.

Because even if he is high above, he will not let go of the distance between himself and the people below.His strength is not only revealed on the outside, but also from the heart.

No setbacks can make him hesitate, no difficulties can stop him from moving forward, because he will never admit defeat and never give up.

such a man.

Such a king.

It's normal if you can't meet him, but when you actually face him, who can not be overwhelmed by such a domineering yet so gentle person?

I didn't notice it at first, after all, it was covered by the long silver hair pouring down like moonlight.However, after the momentary eye contact with Solomon ended, the man turned away his faint eyes, but hooked his fingertips slightly.

With the hand holding the head, a strand of hair was raised at the fingertips, and it was pulled aside very naturally.

The extremely subtle little action did not alarm anyone, and the effect was that Solomon, who was still looking at him, could see the man's earlobe that had been covered by his hair before.

put it on.

It was the ornament Solomon pointed straight ahead with his eyes closed yesterday.

It happened to be the most inconspicuous one, the same as the man's hair color in silver, but fortunately, there was still a little bit of embellishment.

Only the gemstones the size of rice grains were polished smooth and shiny, falling under the earlobe pierced by silver, like frozen blood drops, flowing with vivid red.

Although the man was still looking straight ahead, he still didn't seem to miss Solomon's face from the corner of his eyes.

The finger that lifted the hair waggled again and tapped against the ear.

It's like saying: Here, look, you chose.I think it's average, but I still put it on to save face.

It is too difficult for Solomon to understand the meaning of his action, or directly understand what he is thinking in his heart.

Solomon's reaction always had to be a lot slower to keep up.He saw that the purple-haired woman pulling him, the second Antasia who remembered her name, just nodded, but he didn't know the reason for the nod.

Well, no effect.

He also learned to nod, expressionless.

Next, why there is an even more unclear picture came into the eyes, let alone the reason.

Solomon noticed that the man who didn't look directly at him seemed to have other movements.

The cheers of the crowd were loud enough to drown out other, smaller voices.

And the man is laughing.

The clouds that covered the sun a little before finally drifted aside belatedly, allowing the bright light that had been suppressed for a long time to illuminate the land more broadly.

Among them, several rays of light fell on the highest throne.The man's silver hair didn't melt in the light, it just became warmer.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

His face is soft and warm.

He seemed to be pleased by the situation and the people around him, and he couldn't help but smile, so naturally.

*****

The end is only the daytime ceremony, the grandest national festival held for the first time has not yet ended, the night comes, and the celebration has just begun.

In the same square, the high platform that occupied the place has been removed and replaced by a bonfire built with firewood.The flames were burning fiercely, enough to illuminate the vast darkness of the night.

People are still gathered here, but, unlike during the day, the source of the noise here is the talent show that has already started.

No matter who they are, old or young, male or female, as long as they have the talent to perform on stage, they can show it in front of everyone.

At first, it was just a spontaneous performance by the people, but after the king came to join in the fun, it turned into a complete carnival.

Usually busy with government affairs, Wang's assistant officer, who hadn't relaxed for a long time, was the first to be pushed to the front by the noisy people.

"Wait, wait a minute... I didn't say I didn't want to perform, but, did the king tell you that I'm good at singing—ah, I'm so happy."

After Antaxia was pushed up, she was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then she behaved quite generously.

She is willing to exchange her sweat for people's happiness, but in order to surprise Wang who is sitting in the front row waiting to listen to the song, the form of the performance has to be changed slightly.

The beautiful girl Antaxia not only has a moving voice, but also a graceful dance.

Accompanied by the accompaniment music that people took the initiative to join in, Antaxia, who temporarily left the important task of assistant officer and danced with her skirt in front of the dancing flames, turned back into that lively and passionate girl.

The assistant officer's dance ignited everyone's enthusiasm, so the next person who was strongly asked to also perform was naturally their "omnipotent" king.

Eddie also lived up to expectations—sitting cross-legged on the ground with no particularity, the robe he had only worn for a long time changed back to the same black cape, and he just sat and didn't move.

"Performance is a child's business, so I won't get involved." He directly pushed Solomon up, looking at his expression, he didn't feel guilty at all.

Solomon was about the same as him, standing still, his face was numb.

The people around didn't feel that the white-haired child who stood still in a daze spoiled the atmosphere at all. On the contrary, their applause became louder, and they all cheered for the "introverted" Jedidiah.

"Don't be afraid, Jedidiah, we are all looking forward to your performance!"

"Come on, sing a song, or dance like Lord Antaxia, it's all fine."

Solomon: "..."

He didn't feel the increasingly heated atmosphere, let alone be at a loss.

Just thought it was weird.

The slight "confusion" in his heart magnified at some point, Solomon looked around for a week, and his eyes finally fell on the man.

Eddie also stared at him, and after a while, he suddenly waved to him.

Solomon walked over.

The next moment, the body vacated.The strange source, this man who was always doing incomprehensible things lifted him up while getting up.

"Forget it, forget it, what does it look like in a daze."

He held him up, tossed the little child up like a play, caught him, and turned around a few times in the same place, right as a show.

Throughout the play, everything else in view was shaking and spinning.The only thing that remains the same is the smiling face of the man that Solomon has been staring at.

After turning around, Eddie sat back with Solomon in his arms.However, I'm not satisfied yet—mainly because I haven't seen Wang Zheng'er's "performance" in all manner of ways. How can people let him go so easily?

"King! What about your talent, hurry up and show off."

"It's still the same reason, you can do whatever you want, in short, let us see your heroic appearance."

Wang: "My talent, making ice sculptures? Come on, I won't use force on such a good day."

Wang: "No matter how loud you are, I will absolutely—"

Wang: "...I'm really convinced. It's okay, it's okay, just shut up, it's giving me a headache."

Eddie stood up again, leaving Solomon aside for a while, and walked straight ahead.

The background sound didn't weaken because of his threatening stop, but it became even louder.

He really didn't have much talent, so he took a moment and called Antaxia, who was really versatile, and asked her to continue dancing, while he smiled and held her hand as she danced like a butterfly.

How enthusiastic.

How noisy.

Many - bright.

The burning bonfire obviously did not have such glaring brightness, but Solomon, who silently took this scene into his eyes, was puzzled to find that his eyes were a little dry, and his chest was a little hot.

What is this light.

What is the temperature.

he does not know.
