Beasts contend

Prince Jacob returned to the residence and took out the phantom stone, but it didn't start for a long time.If they want to meet, they have countless ways to meet, and the reason why they don't see each other is because he understands Irene's choice, and Irene also understands his choice.

Prince Jacob is not an indecisive person, if he wants to make a decision, he must make a decision thoroughly.It's just thinking about this kind of thing, which may be ignorant at ordinary times, but once it touches everything in the past, it will flow out like a tide.

The person who gave up and the person who was abandoned, who is better than the other.It's just that in this world, there are always many things that are more important than love, more important than yourself, and more important than the most important person to you.

Prince Jacob injects spiritual power into the Phantom Stone.Irene's image appeared in front of Prince Jacob. On the screen, Irene was still as beautiful as before, but she was a little less childish.She smiled and said, "You must have hesitated for a long time before making up your mind to activate the phantom stone." Her brows and eyes were curved, and there was a smile in her eyes, as if she was still as carefree as before.

Prince Jacob looked at her fixedly.

Irene said: "My brother told me that I can take people to the Ryan Empire to resolve this crisis and get back what should belong to you for you." She paused for a moment before continuing, "I didn't agree."

Erin said, "I know, that's not what you want."

Prince Jacob stared at the phantom on the screen.No matter how many years we have been apart, no matter how much we have changed, these eyes are still as bright as before.

At that time, Erin always liked to run around behind him, and always liked to guess his preferences: "I know you don't like this!" "I know you don't like that!" "I know you..."

I know I know.

Every time, she always guessed so accurately.He endured all the way, and finally couldn't help stopping to buy a piece of candy.

Erin opened her eyes wide: "You don't like this..."

He stuffed the candy into Eileen's mouth.

The world is quiet.

The smile on Irene's face seemed to melt like sugar, too sweet to be forgotten.They continued to walk forward one after the other. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Irene threw herself heavily on him, wrapped her hands around his neck from behind, and said happily, "I know you like me!"

He also knew she liked him.

The love in childhood was so simple, she liked him, he liked her too, and they could be together freely.He has a brother above him, and she is just a girl, so they don't have to worry so much.

They have all thought about their future, and they have thought about it from the very beginning.It's just that before that future can be realized, everything has changed.

Erin, Erin, Erin.

Prince Jacob raised his hand to lightly touch the image on the wall, but only touched the cold wall.As if to laugh at his delusions, the image projected by the Phantom Stone gradually disappeared, and the walls were all white with nothing left.

Dreams are always so fragile, they all chose other paths and gave up the direction they once wanted to go together.

Prince Jacob put away the phantom stone, and stood quietly by the window.The moon was shining outside the window, and I faintly heard someone shouting "one two one one two one" running on the school grounds, and a little farther away, it seemed that there were still people competing with live targets in the back hills and forests.Although Fan Dong graduated from the Royal Academy, his name is still circulating in the Royal Academy, especially in the Archery Academy. Colin Lane may be the most mentioned name!

It's not because Fan Dong is in the limelight, but because every mentor speaks out the "record" set by Fan Dong to spread hatred, such as "Look at you, you can't run a lap, and His Highness Colin is the first!" You can run three laps in one day!" "Look at you, you missed a few targets, and His Highness Colin solved all the targets in less than a month!"

In short, Fan Dong has fully provoked the burden of "other people's children" and "other people's students", and the hatred is extremely precise.

Fan Dong didn't know that he had left a legend in the Royal Academy.

He was in a great mood, and he practiced a few rounds with his juniors and younger sisters, teaching them how to run after a living target in the forest with his rich experience.It wasn't until seeing Edward's figure not far away that Fan Dong curled his lips to say goodbye to the admiring juniors and juniors, and flung himself into Edward's arms generously to give him a big hug.

Edward hugged his arms full, and his heart seemed to be filled instantly.

He said, "Did anything good happen?"

Fan Dong said: "Of course, every day." After confirming that the Prisoner God didn't really affect Edward, he found Edward very pleasing to the eye. Seeing Edward looking at him, he smiled and said, "There will be more in the future. So many good things."

Edward was very happy to see Fan Dong, so he didn't ask any further questions, and walked back side by side with Fan Dong openly.

Watching Fan Dong and Edward go away, the students of the Bow and Archery Academy were envious and jealous, wishing to snatch their Highness Colin back, and felt that only Edward was worthy of their Highness Colin.

This kind of sad and gratifying mood is really contradictory and complicated!

Although most things can be handed over to the ceremonial officer and the council of elders, there are some things that need to be attended by Edward and Fan Dong in person, such as the making of dresses.Fan Dong was going to be coronated that day, and the dress was already standard enough, but Edward needed to rush to make a more luxurious formal suit.

No way, Edward didn't like this kind of occasion before, and he often just walked around in a military uniform.No one would have conflicts with him over such a trivial matter, so no one cared about such details.

But not this time, this time he is another protagonist of the wedding and must be taken seriously.

This is respect for your partner.

So Edward and Fan Dong measured the size together surrounded by several etiquette officials.

Custom-made gowns are very troublesome to wear. In order to keep the most basic interests of the nobles, the size of the gowns is accurate to the tinkling.When the etiquette officer was about to strip Fan Dong for measurement, Edward took the notebook in the hand of the etiquette officer and wrote down Fan Dong's full body size, including Ding Ding.

The etiquette officials couldn't help but glanced at Fan Dong, with the words "I understand" written all over their eyes.For young people, it is normal to experience pre-marital experience, so there is no need to make too much fuss.

Fan Dong: "..."

After the etiquette officers compared several data and found that they were correct, they all resigned politely.

Fan Dong couldn't help asking: "When did you measure it?" He remembered that his little Jiji had never been measured with a ruler!

Edward said: "Visual inspection."

Fan Dong: "..."

Edward said: "It doesn't matter, you are still young, you can grow longer."

Fan Dong was angry: "Why are you comforting me, my Chi Chi is not small!!!"

Edward couldn't help laughing: "I mean height."

Fan Dong: "..."

Fan Dong decided to ignore Edward.

The day of the coronation and wedding drew nearer, and all the publications gave the greatest coverage to these two important events.

The civilians didn't have so many complicated thoughts. They were sad when they knew that His Majesty was injured, but they were happy when they knew that Fan Dong was going to succeed him.

In the past two years, Colin Lane's name has frequently appeared in civilian populations.

Colin Lane didn't do anything big, but he let the blacksmiths create "air conditioners" for the civilians, let the musicians start singing songs they could understand, and let the chefs make all kinds of delicacies— —Oh, yes, even civilian chefs have greatly improved their culinary skills.Knowing that His Royal Highness Colin likes to eat everywhere, everyone puts all their efforts into making the most delicious food.His Royal Highness Colin said that no matter how common or cheap ingredients are, they can produce good taste, and fried, steamed, fried and fried are all delicious—he likes the food of common people, and he also likes the food of nobles.

Such a highness will surely become a very good monarch.

The civilians are so blindly identified.

Fan Dong and Edward accepted several rounds of interviews and several rounds of tests respectively, and finally ushered in the day of coronation.

During this period of time, His Majesty the King has not appeared, and Fan Dong could not see him even if he wanted to. Until this day, His Majesty the King agreed to his request to see him.

His Majesty the King seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

Fan Dong was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but glance at the etiquette officer next to him.The ceremonial officer gave Fan Dong a look back, which meant that His Majesty the King had taken the elixir well, and also had a good medicinal bath.It's just that some things cannot be changed by external forces.

The root of His Majesty's illness lies in his heart.

Seeing Fan Dong's eye contact with the etiquette officer, His Majesty the King's heart shrank slightly.From the beginning to the end, only Fan Dong really treated him as his father.But what he gave Fan Dong was very little, Fan Dong could get to this point all because of his own hard work.

His Majesty the King couldn't imagine how his youngest son would face all that in another "future".He has never received formal instruction, and has no one available around him, how to face the panicked civilians, how to stop the menacing rebels.How to face Raymond Edward who once fell in love with him, but forgot him completely, and pointed a sword at him.

For the first time His Majesty realized what a failure his life had been.

His Majesty the King said to Fan Dong: "Come on, Colin, come here."

Fan Dong stepped forward and let His Majesty the King hold his hand.He treated His Majesty the King as his father, because he and Colin Lane had been completely fused together, and he was using Colin Lane's body.He is obliged to respect and love His Majesty the King, and even if he discovers many things that Colin Lane has not discovered, he will still fulfill the responsibilities of his sons and daughters.

Fan Dong shouted: "Father."

His Majesty said: "Colin, the coronation ceremony is going to be held today, so I can tell you something..." He waved his hand and made everyone retreat.

Fan Dong's heart shuddered, and he said seriously, "Say it."

His Majesty the King said: "There is a very important reason why your Ryan Empire can be as prosperous as the Tiger Empire all year round." He looked solemn, "We have totems."

Fan Dong was taken aback.

His Majesty said: "Our totems are scattered in different places, but they are kept intact in the Ryan Empire. You have to remember that no matter what happens, you must first protect the totems." He released a totem on the wall Zhang made a few marks on the map, and said to Fan Dong, "Our totem scrolls are hidden in these places, and the people who guard the scrolls are high-level powerhouses, and they are also people you can trust."

Fan Dong listened quietly.

No wonder Colin Lane was isolated and helpless in the "Dreamland". It turned out that most of the power was used to protect these things.But there are no people left, what's the use of protecting the totem.When the civilians were slaughtered, instead of sending people out to protect the major towns, let them guard the lifeless scrolls—is this the so-called foundation of the empire?

Facing His Majesty's inquisitive gaze, Fan Dong came back to his senses, and said to His Majesty: "I understand." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at His Majesty the King, "But, Dad, are these scrolls useful? "

His Majesty the King was taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

Is there any use for the totem scroll?

These words have been passed down from generation to generation, and no one bothers to question them.With a totem, will the empire be stable and prosperous?

No, no, it's not like that, if he can do it with a totem, then why has he worked so hard to govern the empire all these years?

So, what is the use of the totem scroll?

The totem has already become a very long-standing legend.

Why not let the people who protect the totem scrolls protect the living?Why didn't these loyal strong men be used even in the most dangerous moment?Looking at Fan Dong's eyes full of doubts, His Majesty the King suddenly understood why so many people were willing to follow this son.

Because he is different from everyone else.

In his eyes, there is a light that has long been extinguished in other people's eyes.
