[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

Samuel has been living in this palace for a week.He hasn't seen Paliulius again this week, but it's true, the country has just changed to a new owner, and people have to deal with everything every day, so there is no time for him.

From being uneasy at the beginning, having nightmares at night, to being calm and composed now, Samuel felt that he was really the type who would neither abuse nor live, neither abuse nor grow.I don’t know who lived in the palace he lived in at the beginning. It’s a distance from the main hall, but the things inside are all newly furnished. He lives here. Although he is imprisoned, the conditions are very good. Every day Being served with delicious food and drink, but not allowed to go out, he could only hang around in the house. After a week, Samuel felt that he had gained a lot of weight.

It must be very restless to be locked up in the house, but Samuel was not in the same mood as before.It’s not that he’s relieved, he’s realized that a man will become a hero 18 years later, so he’s not afraid to die. It’s just that he can’t really get nervous if there’s no crisis pressing him down. He was never put in prison, which shows that his attitude towards himself is impossible. Maybe nothing happened in the end. Maybe Paliulius was afraid that he would go out and get in the way, so he shut himself up until he got everything right?We can waste food on him, so we can't return to torture.

Anyway, if you don't think so, there is no way.The existence of Xiao Hua couldn't be hidden either, so Samuel let it out and let it roam around on the ground. The three meals a day also included a good chicken food.Xiaohua is the kind of person who can eat or not, and eats what she eats. It eats the food prepared by the enemy, but it is ashamed to dislike the bad food Samuel prepared for it before, so let Samuel hold it Rubbing for a while.

But, Samuel couldn't help wondering, how long is he going to be locked up?In this king's palace, he can't stay here forever.Samuel stretched his head to look out the window. The soldiers outside looked solemn and came and went in a hurry, which would always make Samuel's eyelids twitch.

Here, too, Samuel's message was not blocked.Musa, the chief of the guard who betrayed Prince Coleridge and became the current chief of the court guard, he will come to Samuel every day to broadcast the latest news, what sinner Coleridge is still absconding, what The people are already calling for Paliulius to formally ascend the throne and become king. What documents did Paliulius sign? This and that, even though Samuel still felt that "it's none of my business", he still listened to every word. with.

One day when Musa was leaving, Samuel couldn't hold back, and finally asked:

"Musa, were you from Paliulius from the beginning?"

Musa was a tall young man.Yes, almost every adult male here can be crowned with the adjective "tall", but Musa is the kind of person who can be seen at a glance because of his height in the crowd, with a sturdy figure and strong muscles, more like a man without fat butcher.Samuel was actually a little afraid of him, because his figure was too intimidating, he was unsmiling, and his face was paralyzed, so when Musa came to tell the news these days, Samuel never said a word to Musa.

But he couldn’t help but say it today, maybe it’s because being locked up in this exquisite prison is too boring, even after asking a question, Musa’s eyes were heavy, and he raised his head, curiously waiting for the answer.

"Have you heard my name before?"

"Huh? Of course not."

"I almost forgot that you came from overseas. But even if you were from this country, or even from the capital, you would never have heard of my name, for my usefulness was to fight with Prince Coleridge. Get rid of the devil, but I'm just a bodyguard, the only thing that spreads in the country is the bravery of the prince, as for me, I'm nothing."

"Just because of this?" Samuel couldn't believe it.Obviously such a hierarchical society should be strict and resigned to fate, why does a guard ask himself to be famous?Or is it that the people he meets are all so free and rebellious?

"Isn't that enough?" Musa asked rhetorically.There was some uncoordinated smile on his numb face, watching Samuel's scalp go numb.

"That's enough. I was born brave and brave. At the beginning, I was loyal to the prince because I wanted to make some achievements, but the prince can't give me this. I am no different from a shadow, and no one will even know me. But being loyal to the king is different. The king needs my strength and needs me to fight for him. I will serve as the king's sword and fight on the battlefield to earn my reputation."

Samuel's voice trembled faintly:

"But, there is no war now!"

Musa looked at Samuel mockingly. In his eyes, the childlike Samuel was naive and ridiculous, and he couldn't understand why the noble king valued him so much.

He raised the corner of his lips:

"Can't you see it? The war is coming soon."

Musa walked away, and Samuel sat down on the chair slumped, thinking about what he said all the time.War is coming!war!Death, far away from home, no peace, this is the fairy tale world he came to!

Thinking back when he left Kil'jaeden country, he came here because he felt that the people there were too ignorant, but there was an even more terrifying war!Is it so difficult to find a pure land?It turns out that Paliulius' ambition is so great that he is not only satisfied with becoming a king, but even wants more things!This greedy careerist, how many beautiful things he will destroy!

stop him!stop him!Samuel circled distractedly.Xiaohua looked at him incomprehensibly:

"Samuel, why are you in such a hurry? What does war have to do with you?"

Samuel froze, what does this have to do with him?

This is not his world, this is not his country, and the people here are not his compatriots.Yes, what does it matter to him?

However, is war something that can be counted clearly?Now that he has come here and stood on this land, it is impossible for the war not to affect him, and he does not have the ability to be alone, nor is he in the mood to find a deep mountain and forest to hide for decades.

The war is coming, how can he talk about the travel plan?The surrounding atmosphere will also become tense, and will be infected by that crazy emotion.War will definitely let him see death. The first to go to the battlefield will be civilians. They will become human shields without training, and will seek military merit for the fully equipped nobles behind; the people around him will not be like I am enjoying myself as in peaceful times, but I am worried about the safety of myself and my family.Naturally, there are winners and losers in wars. Whoever said that the first to start a war will win?

"I want to see the king!" Samuel suddenly rushed to the door and shouted to the soldiers standing beside him.They made eye contact with each other, and one of them left the team and headed towards the main hall. Samuel stood there staring at his back, watching him disappear, reappear, and then come to his side.

Paliulius agreed to see him.Samuel followed the soldier forward.He couldn't help but wonder, does this soldier know their king's plan?Knowing that he would be thrown into battle, perhaps dead?However, judging from his steps, he walks resolutely and decisively, and his profile is also serious. Just by looking at it, one can tell what he is longing for and is willing to fight for it.

Samuel suddenly thought that the people here had a different idea of ​​war from him.How many people, like Musa, wanted to go to the battlefield to make military exploits?War meant land, wealth, power, and slaves to them.

This kind of thinking made Samuel change what he said when he met Paliulius.

He is nobody, neither Marysu with the halo of the Virgin, nor someone with prestige and influence, and Paliulius will not change his plan because of what he said.Frustration came over him again, stronger and heavier than before—he was almost crushed.

But only almost.

He calmly asked Paliulius:

"Musa said the war is going to start, so when will it start?"

Paliulius looked a little different from what he had seen before.He was wearing casual clothes, which were an extremely comfortable style, and he seemed to be very leisurely sitting in the soft, soft chair that seemed to have sunk in.But his face showed how tired he was.Dark circles, redness, bags under the eyes, pale and haggard skin.But his spirit didn't show that, his excitement radiated from his body without even looking.

Then he was laughing, after listening to Samuel's blunt questioning.His laugh was muffled, a little hoarse and hissing, but still powerful enough.

"Did Musa tell you all this? Also, it's not surprising that a person like him can't help but wait for so many years."

"Samuel, are you afraid? Afraid of war? Don't be afraid, war will not involve you, you can stand by my side, as long as you are willing to come over, of course I will protect you."

"A person who is afraid of war, but wants to stand behind the person who started the war? Do you think I will do that?"

Samuel raised his head without fear, and asked proudly.

"That means you are not really afraid. However, you don't have to think about it now. Although the war is about to start, it hasn't started yet, right? I have a lot of things to do before that. Coleridge is still at large , Of course, I need to catch him before I can officially become king; there are also weapons production, conscription, food collection, and of course, there must be a reasonable excuse for war."

"Oh yes, there is one more important thing." Paliulius was very happy, as if sharing a good thing with a good friend, he said easily:

"I have to become emperor first, let King Paliulius become Emperor Paliulius, and let the Kingdom of Heinedil become the Empire of Heinedil."

The author has something to say: Thank you for the mine of daytime drunkenness, thank you for the mine of Jingxingshi, how big is it!

It was too cold, and I hadn’t coded or turned on the computer for several days. As a result, I suddenly wanted to write a new article yesterday, and I wrote a chapter all at once. I had to hold back and couldn’t post it.
