Mermaid O was spoiled by the paranoid marshal after being reborn
Chapter 43 The Vow
As if seeing Carl's avoidance, Morris's mocking smile became even more serious, and the corner of his mouth raised a more obvious arc, but he just glanced at the two of them with this look, as if disdainful of them Without hesitation, he continued to walk forward.
Seeing Morris coming, the nurse who had treated Karl with a frosty face immediately stood up, her eyes seemed to light up, she raised her hand to brush the hair on her forehead behind her ears, with a sweet and kind smile on her face Smiling, almost flattering:
"Your Highness Morris."
"Miss Susie." Morris also showed a smile on his face, "I heard that the father is in a coma. How is he now?"
"Your Majesty, he has just been transferred from the medical cabin and is still in a coma, but I can take you in for a visit first."
"Didn't you just say that His Majesty is in a coma and cannot see people?"
Seeing the nurse who seemed to be stern and selfless just now, she seemed to have changed her face in front of Morris. Carl felt as if he was holding a ball of anger in his chest. He is polite, even to his subordinates, and never bullies the weak.
Although he also knew the ways of the world, but seeing that the other party had two faces and was so flattering, Karl finally couldn't bear it, immediately suppressed his anger, and asked with a frown.
"Can you compare with His Majesty Morris?"
The nurse named Suzie sneered, although the voice was not loud, it was heard by Carl.
"His Majesty Morris is His Majesty's only son. It is only natural for his son to visit Lao Tzu. On the contrary, it can reflect His Majesty's filial piety. What are you two outsiders doing?"
She didn't feel that there was any problem with her rhetoric, Susie spoke with confidence.
Hearing the other party's words full of ridicule, Karl, who has always been very tempered, couldn't help but feel angry.
And Susie's words also awakened Carl, and he also realized that Morris came to visit Freddie at this time, probably not because of his filial piety, but because he wanted to be a filial son in bed. Show his appearance to the ministers and common people of the empire.
Thinking of this, and witnessing Morris repeatedly targeting Cromway with his own eyes, Carl became even more angry. Seeing Carl with his neck stuck, as if he was about to turn into a piranha, he stepped forward to argue with the other party, and he had been silent before. Cromway, who was speaking, put his hand on Karl's shoulder, motioning for him to back away, his eyes gloomy like a front.
"What? I am a majestic prince of the empire, do you still want to stop me from going to see my father?"
Seeing Cromway step forward to protect Karl behind him, Morris' vocal cords vibrated, and a sneer came out of his throat.
"Your Majesty needs to rest now."
Although Cromway's voice was faint, it was full of unquestionable majesty, like a drop of water turning into ice, which made people shudder.
"Ah."
Hearing this, Morris stopped acting. He stepped forward and walked to Cromway's side, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly:
"You are the illegitimate son of a dead mother, what right do you have to shout in front of me?"
When the last word came out of Morris's mouth, Cromway had already swung his fist, and the fist with strong wind hit Morris' cheek hard, causing the latter to fall to the ground in an instant.
After a moment of bewilderment, Morris covered his cheeks and stood up with his back bent. He covered his left cheek with his hand, and a stream of blood slipped from the corner of his mouth to the ground.
"marshal!"
Carl was stunned. After a scream, he rushed forward and held Cromway back to prevent the two from continuing to fight.
Karl didn't expect that Cromway would attack others. After all, although Cromway was famous, after getting along for so long, he found that the other party was not as violent and capricious as the rumors said, so he almost forgot that the other party was The head of the knife licked blood, no matter how tender he was when facing him, it couldn't cover up the chilling aura like yellow sand brought from the battlefield on his body.
Ask yourself, although Karl does feel that Morris deserves a beating, but if you deserve a beating, you deserve a beating, but it is always wrong to act first, not to mention that Morris is still the prince of the empire, so it is inevitable that officials who will stand behind Morris Taking advantage of the problem, he will be even more ostracized against Cromway in the future, which can be said to be harmful to him but not beneficial.
"...Marshal, are you alright?"
Seeing that although he stepped forward to hold the other party, Cromway's eyes were still like arrows, looking straight at Morris in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and he was worried that the other party's mental power would lose control and go berserk , Karl was anxious and asked quickly.
Hearing Karl's voice, Cromway seemed to have regained some sense. The madness and violence in his eyes gradually faded and returned to normal. Karl was relieved and turned his gaze to Morris in front of him.
At this time, Morris was covering his cheeks, and stood up staggeringly from the ground. Although he had heard that Cromway was known as the lion of the empire before, but because he had never fought against him before, he couldn't help it. Don't know the real strength of the opponent.
It wasn't until he received this punch just now that Morris felt very clearly that the opponent's strength was domineering and powerful——
These external forces are actually second to none, and what is even more frightening is the spiritual power hidden in him.Morris could clearly feel that the mental power released in the air was just the tip of the iceberg. If Cromway really lost control, his mental power would continue like a surging river, even in just a few seconds , is enough to kill yourself.
When the gap between two people is not big, people usually feel envy and jealousy towards each other; however, when the gap between two people is as huge as a chasm, awe and fear will fill the heart, making people dare not look straight at.
"... Cromway, I remember this punch today."
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of Morris's forehead, feeling a thin layer of cold sweat on his back due to the brief fight just now, and there was no one around, so Morris couldn't care about the face he valued the most on weekdays, and shook him hard. After saying this sentence, he turned and left angrily, and as soon as he walked out of the corridor, he immediately called several imperial doctors to help him bandage and treat the wound, for fear of leaving any scars on his delicate cheeks.
Originally Carl was still worried that the atmosphere between the two of them was so tense that they would continue to fight each other, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Morris turned around and left immediately after swearing harshly, and Cromway beside him also seemed like He had released too much mental power in a short period of time, and he staggered for a while, so Karl quickly helped him to sit on a bench beside him.
Karl sat with Cromway on the bench outside the medical cabin for a while, during which time he asked his servants to bring a bag of nutrient solution to replenish Cromway's energy.
After a while, seeing that blood color gradually appeared on Cromway's pale face just now, Karl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that had been hanging high finally let go.And at this moment, the door of the medical cabin opened, and an old man with gray hair walked through it, obviously a respectable old doctor.
Because of Suzie's ability to make things difficult, Carl already had no hope of visiting Freddie, but he was a little sad that he missed the opportunity to make the father and son get back together.Unexpectedly, after the old doctor walked out of the medical cabin, he looked around, his eyes lit up when he saw Cromway, and he walked towards the direction of the two of them.
"Marshal Cromway."
After seeing Cromway, the old man greeted him, and after seeing who came, Cromway also returned the salute, with a somewhat respectful appearance.
"Professor Benson."
"This is your omega, Your Highness Karl?"
Benson shifted his gaze to Carl who was standing beside Cromway.
"Hi, I'm Karl, from Atlantis, and I'm... Cromway's fiancée."
Seeing the other party's eyes on him, since he had seen that the relationship between Cromway and this senior looked good, Karl took the initiative to introduce himself, but when he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but feel Still a little uncomfortable and shy.
Seeing that Carl secretly held Cromway's hand because of embarrassment, Benson smiled.
"When you hold a wedding, don't forget to send me a letter, so that I, an old man, can also be happy with you young people."
Although he knew that the other party was joking, after hearing these words, Carl still couldn't help but his little face flushed for a while, but when he looked up and saw the light "in operation" that had been extinguished, Carl immediately remembered something again, and put away the thoughts in his heart. This star was shy and asked the old man:
"How is your Majesty doing now?"
"rest assured."
Seeing the eagerness in Carl's eyes, Benson took off his mask and gave him a comforting look.
"Your Majesty has now been transferred out of the medical cabin, but because the effects of the anesthesia have not passed, he is still in a coma, and it is not convenient for him to visit for the time being."
Hearing the other party's answer, Carl felt that the boulder in his heart had fallen to the ground, but he was relieved, but Benson's next sentence made his mood feel like riding a roller coaster. He hung up again just after he relaxed.
"It's just that your majesty is old after all, and he was injured on the battlefield when he was young, so this time new illnesses and old illnesses are mixed together. Although his life is saved, his body is much weaker than before. This must not happen again in the future. Don't worry about it, otherwise, even if it is not because of this illness, it will be life-threatening because of other recurrences."
Hearing Benson's words, Carl couldn't help but hold his breath, and involuntarily turned his gaze to Cromway beside him. After pondering, the latter spoke slowly. Although he pretended to be calm, he showed the same composure as before, but The slight tremor in his voice magnified the tension in his heart infinitely.
"...Your Majesty's body has always been strong. When he was young, he went through a lot of tempering on the battlefield. How could he be knocked down by such a small injury."
"Son, you were also born in the rain of bullets. Of course, you should also know that it is because you often fight in the battlefield and fight with Zerg and other aliens that you have so many old diseases on your body, right?"
Benson is also one of the few veteran ministers who knows the relationship between Cromway and Freddy, and he is also a master of the apricot forest respected by Cromway. His words naturally have extraordinary weight in Cromway's heart. His words are like a It hit Cromway's heart like a heavy hammer, causing a suffocating pain in his heart.
"And, I believe that because of this, you should know the importance and value of life better than anyone else."
"Also, when His Majesty was just unconscious, it was your name that was called. Although you can't enter the room to visit now, you can stand outside the glass window to visit. If you don't believe me, you can see it yourself. "
"Go in and have a look, he's waiting for you."
The old man's hoarse voice beat on Cromway's heart like a bell and drum, causing waves in his heart. After a while, under Karl's expectant gaze, Cromway took a deep breath, as if he had made a gesture. What a decision, after all, he walked slowly towards the medical cabin.
"You go with him too."
Seeing Carl standing where he was, his posture looking a little awkward, Benson smiled kindly at him, indicating that he could also enter the ward.
After thanking the other party, Karl followed quickly, and followed Cromway's pace in two or three steps.
Carl and Cromway came outside the medical cabin. A floor-to-ceiling polished glass divided the room into two halves, as if dividing the world into Yin and Yang sides. One side contained cold and icy potions, while the other side Then stand the sick and miss the person.
The clear glass window is like a clear lake, reflecting Kelunwei's tall and slender figure. He stood in front of the glass for a long time, and after a long time, trembling eyebrows, he cast his gaze on the hospital bed——
I saw that the temples of the old man lying on the hospital bed turned almost completely white in just a few days, and the snow-white hair color and the white bed sheet almost blended into one.The old man's cheeks were sunken, his lips were chapped, and his appearance was quite different from his previous appearance when he sat on the throne and dominated the world.
Facing the pain of life and death, no matter whether it is a great man who holds great power or an ordinary person who is as small as grass, they all appear equally vulnerable.
Standing outside the window for a moment, as if he couldn't bear to look again, Cromway turned his head slightly, Carl also saw his discomfort, and knew that what Freddy needed most at this time was peace of mind, so he wanted to speak softly , and left with Cromway.
Just when he was about to speak, a soft voice came from inside the glass window. The voice was vague at first, but it gradually became clear after a while.
Carl and Cromway instantly stopped their preparations to leave, and returned to the window, listening quietly to the sounds coming from the house.
"Cromway...don't be afraid, Dad is here, don't worry, no one...no one will bully you again."
Although Freddy's murmur was not loud and the words were a bit vague, the two of them still heard it clearly as they stood holding their breaths.
Cromway used to be familiar with this sentence.Once upon a time, when he was in an enemy country, when he was being bullied by his prince, Freddie would always be the first to rush out to protect him, hold him in his arms, comfort him, and softly tell him that everything would be fine with his father around. of.
But at this time, seeing that Freddy was still in a coma, but he was still saying his own name, and recalling the past, Cromway couldn't help feeling sour in his eyes and wet on his face.
After a while, he raised his hand to touch it, only to find that the front of his clothes had been soaked with tears at some point.
***
Because Freddy was still in a coma, it was not convenient for outsiders to go in and visit, so after seeing Freddy through the glass, the two had no choice but to leave.Seeing Freddy's physical condition at this time, and also seeing the hidden worries in Cromway's heart, Karl took the initiative to find a step for him, and suggested that he was still on vacation at this time, so why not stay in the palace longer For a while, Cromway happened to be able to reorganize and deploy the Palace Guards next year.
Because of the care of Benson and other imperial doctors, Freddy's condition has stabilized after five days, he has sat up from the hospital bed, and can even walk around the palace, but his body is still relatively weak, so he can't go out. palace.
After learning the news, Carl repeatedly wanted to bring the father and son to meet. After all, he thought it was the best time for the two to be honest and explain everything clearly, so early in the morning, he asked the head of the guard about the matter. Reddy's whereabouts, knowing that the other party is in the greenhouse, he deliberately told Cromway that he wanted to walk in the garden, but intentionally or unintentionally led Cromway to the direction of the greenhouse.
Cromway is so alert, how could he be unaware of Carl's little thought, but he didn't poke it, but followed the other side to the direction of the greenhouse, just thinking that he would see Freddie soon , but there are thousands of thoughts in my heart, which are extremely complicated.
"Marshal, we have been in the palace for so long and haven't been to the flower room, and we are leaving soon. I want to go inside and have a look, can I?"
Seeing Karl blinking slyly and looking at him expectantly, Cromway nodded despite his complicated heart.
"it is good."
When you step into the greenhouse, you will immediately be greeted with a rich fragrance of flowers. Because of the constant temperature control system, the temperature inside the greenhouse is much warmer than outside, as if you have stepped into another spring country when you open the door.
After seeing the species of flowers that had been planted in the entire greenhouse, Cromway couldn't help being startled, lily of the valley -- that was his mother's favorite flower during her lifetime.
Ke Lunwei's mind froze, and when he looked up again, he saw Freddy standing in the sea of flowers not far away, with a gentle expression on his face and whispering.
"Petunia, Cromway has grown into a young man now, and he has his own partner. He is about to start a family and start a business soon. You will be very happy to know, right?"
"Maybe I will come down to accompany you soon, you won't be lonely anymore, but you should still blame me in your heart? Blame me for not coming in time, blame me for not bringing you medicine, blame the man you think is the most powerful but in the end Appearing in front of you like a knight..."
At the end, Freddy's voice gradually choked up. Although the other party's back was turned to him, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but Cromway knew that the other party must have tears on his face at this moment.
Cromway is not slow, so he is actually very clear over the years that Freddie is always watching him secretly and silently protecting himself, and every year when he visits the grave, he will see a bunch of snow mountains in front of his mother's grave. Roses, the flowers are covered in front of the tombstone like snow, but what they bring is not the coldness like frost and snow, but the slight warmth
Snow mountain roses were exactly the bouquet Freddy sent when he proposed to his mother.
After coming and going, Cromway naturally became suspicious, so once, he guessed the time of the other party's arrival, and purposely stayed one night not far away, but what he didn't expect was that Freddie took advantage of the time to avoid himself. Come to visit the grave when the night is getting dark.
The cemetery in the early morning was extremely gloomy and cold, surrounded by mist and the cold wind whimpering like ghosts and wolves howling. In front of Ni's tombstone, she can receive a bouquet of brand new snow mountain roses.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Cromway had mixed feelings, and the memories of the past overlapped with the gray-haired old man in front of him.
At this time, Cromway realized that the father who was omnipotent in his impression like a great hero had turned into an old man with a stooped figure and shambling steps. tip of the tongue and throat:
"……Father."
Hearing Cromway's voice, Freddy was taken aback. He turned around, his eyes full of disbelief, and under the signal of Carl's eyes, Cromway walked forward slowly. At first, he was a little bit at a loss, but Freddy reached out his hand first and hugged him.
At that moment, Cromway was a little dazed, but in the next moment he also reached out his hand.After many years, the father and son finally untied their knots and embraced each other and wept.
Because the father and son finally unraveled the knot, Cromway, who was treating Zhihuo, accompanied Freddie. Because of this, Freddie's mental state was much better than before, and he recovered faster.
Three days later, when Freddie's physical condition has completely stabilized and he has recovered to the point where he can successfully complete all the tasks in daily life and go to court, knowing that Cromway will also leave soon, Freddie came with him and Karl When I asked An to leave, I smiled and said:
"Perhaps you should pick a time to announce your identity to everyone after the beginning of spring."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this matter. The court situation is not stable now, and it will take some time for His Majesty Morris to accept it."
Cromway declined upon hearing the words, but seeing Freddy's eyes dimmed suddenly, he immediately said again:
"The fact that I have always been the father of your son will not change. It is not that important whether it is made public or not."
"You don't have to feel that you owe me all these years. In fact, everything I have done over the years is my voluntary choice. Whether it is entering the military or hiding my identity, I have already known it very early... What happened to mother is actually not your fault."
"It's not so much resenting you, it's better to say I'm resenting myself who was once incompetent."
"Also, being a prince is not that important to me."
As Cromway spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold Karl's hand beside him, clasped his fingers tightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"As long as he is there, my life is bright."
Hearing Cromway's words, Freddy's eyes couldn't help getting wet. What happened these few days was like a dream. He didn't expect that his son would really settle down with him one day. He has never dared to hope.
Of course, Cromway also knew that Freddy was so anxious to tell the world about the relationship between the two because he was worried that he would go back on his word, so he said what he just said.
"...Okay, okay, I didn't think about it just now, as long as you can be happy."
Freddie's worry turned into joy.
"It's just that no matter what you say, your wedding needs to be handled properly. When this period of time passes and the court situation is stable, I will personally organize the most grand wedding in the empire for you!"
Freddy laughed and teased, Cromway shook Carl's hand and nodded solemnly, and Carl nodded in response even though his face was slightly red.
Tonight is the last night that Carl and Cromway will stay in the palace. After all, Cromway does not want to reveal his identity for the time being, so the two of them are not suitable to be in the palace with the identities they have shown to the outside world at this time. They stayed for too long, so the two of them will leave the palace tomorrow morning.
The night was as cool as water. Karl stood on the terrace and looked at the scenery under his feet. He had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the empire. The evening wind blew the golden hair on Karl's forehead, coating him with a layer of silver brilliance, making his whole body dazzled. The moonlight shrouded it, making it a little more clear than usual.
"homesick?"
Seeing Karl staring at the full moon above his head in a daze, seeing the homesickness and sadness in his eyes, Cromway asked in a low voice while putting on his coat.
"Um……"
Karl nodded, and after hearing his answer, Cromwell hesitated for a while, and after leaning on the railing with Karl, he said:
"In this case, why don't we go to Atlantis together after we leave the palace tomorrow. It's been a long time, and I haven't paid respects to your parents. It's my negligence."
Carl couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that he just mentioned it casually, but Cromway seemed so serious.
"...Don't you need to go back to the Legion?"
Seeing Carl's face full of surprise, Cromway smiled.
"The empire's welfare security system is sound. No matter how busy I am, I still have annual leave, and my father also hopes that I can go out with you to relax. He said that I was too busy a while ago, and it's time to take a break."
Although Karl would not be angry even if Cromway rejected him, after all, he knew very well that Cromway shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the entire empire, so he was not surprised.But he still feels very happy to hear that the other party agrees with him, respects himself, and thinks about himself.
In the previous life, he was imprisoned by Lindsay, became a caged bird, and lost his freedom, but after being with Cromway, he can come in and out freely, and he is respected by others, and the other party will tell himself that he is unique , There seemed to be a warm current surging in his heart, and he felt extraordinarily happy.
"Okay!"
Carl nodded, his eyes were already crescents.
"...You don't want His Majesty to announce your identity, do you still hold grudges against him?"
After blowing the wind and watching the scenery side by side with Cromway, Karl asked carefully.
In Karl's view, Cromway has already caused Morris's strong dissatisfaction. Paper can't hold fire, and his identity will be announced sooner or later. There was a grudge, and not quite letting go of everything.
Cromway shook his head.
"I actually don't have any idea about the emperor's throne. Although I have understood my father's helplessness at that time, I definitely can't do it if I want to blame him, but it doesn't mean that I don't Forgive him, it can even be said that it is not my father that I have been resenting all these years, but myself."
"But the reason why I don't want my position to be announced is because I don't want you to be my mother. I... I have been worrying that I will become a father in the future, and fail like he failed his mother." you……"
Cromway said, looking sideways into Carl's eyes, with a solemn tone: "Don't worry, I will only have you in this life."
"You will be my only companion."
"Ah."
Carl smiled and took Cromway's hand. His golden eyes were like tulips unfolding in the night, shining like night pearls. In the cold wind, their fingers were entangled, as if the sun and the moon were a matchmaker. As evidence, will never be separated.
Seeing Morris coming, the nurse who had treated Karl with a frosty face immediately stood up, her eyes seemed to light up, she raised her hand to brush the hair on her forehead behind her ears, with a sweet and kind smile on her face Smiling, almost flattering:
"Your Highness Morris."
"Miss Susie." Morris also showed a smile on his face, "I heard that the father is in a coma. How is he now?"
"Your Majesty, he has just been transferred from the medical cabin and is still in a coma, but I can take you in for a visit first."
"Didn't you just say that His Majesty is in a coma and cannot see people?"
Seeing the nurse who seemed to be stern and selfless just now, she seemed to have changed her face in front of Morris. Carl felt as if he was holding a ball of anger in his chest. He is polite, even to his subordinates, and never bullies the weak.
Although he also knew the ways of the world, but seeing that the other party had two faces and was so flattering, Karl finally couldn't bear it, immediately suppressed his anger, and asked with a frown.
"Can you compare with His Majesty Morris?"
The nurse named Suzie sneered, although the voice was not loud, it was heard by Carl.
"His Majesty Morris is His Majesty's only son. It is only natural for his son to visit Lao Tzu. On the contrary, it can reflect His Majesty's filial piety. What are you two outsiders doing?"
She didn't feel that there was any problem with her rhetoric, Susie spoke with confidence.
Hearing the other party's words full of ridicule, Karl, who has always been very tempered, couldn't help but feel angry.
And Susie's words also awakened Carl, and he also realized that Morris came to visit Freddie at this time, probably not because of his filial piety, but because he wanted to be a filial son in bed. Show his appearance to the ministers and common people of the empire.
Thinking of this, and witnessing Morris repeatedly targeting Cromway with his own eyes, Carl became even more angry.

Cromway, who was speaking, put his hand on Karl's shoulder, motioning for him to back away, his eyes gloomy like a front.
"What? I am a majestic prince of the empire, do you still want to stop me from going to see my father?"
Seeing Cromway step forward to protect Karl behind him, Morris' vocal cords vibrated, and a sneer came out of his throat.
"Your Majesty needs to rest now."
Although Cromway's voice was faint, it was full of unquestionable majesty, like a drop of water turning into ice, which made people shudder.
"Ah."
Hearing this, Morris stopped acting. He stepped forward and walked to Cromway's side, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly:

When the last word came out of Morris's mouth, Cromway had already swung his fist, and the fist with strong wind hit Morris' cheek hard, causing the latter to fall to the ground in an instant.
After a moment of bewilderment, Morris covered his cheeks and stood up with his back bent. He covered his left cheek with his hand, and a stream of blood slipped from the corner of his mouth to the ground.

Carl was stunned. After a scream, he rushed forward and held Cromway back to prevent the two from continuing to fight.
Karl didn't expect that Cromway would attack others. After all, although Cromway was famous, after getting along for so long, he found that the other party was not as violent and capricious as the rumors said, so he almost forgot that the other party was The head of the knife licked blood, no matter how tender he was when facing him, it couldn't cover up the chilling aura like yellow sand brought from the battlefield on his body.
Ask yourself, although Karl does feel that Morris deserves a beating, but if you deserve a beating, you deserve a beating, but it is always wrong to act first, not to mention that Morris is still the prince of the empire, so it is inevitable that officials who will stand behind Morris Taking advantage of the problem, he will be even more ostracized against Cromway in the future, which can be said to be harmful to him but not beneficial.
"...Marshal, are you alright?"
Seeing that although he stepped forward to hold the other party, Cromway's eyes were still like arrows, looking straight at Morris in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and he was worried that the other party's mental power would lose control and go berserk , Karl was anxious and asked quickly.

Benson shifted his gaze to Carl who was standing beside Cromway.

This star was shy and asked the old man:

"rest assured."
Seeing the eagerness in Carl's eyes, Benson took off his mask and gave him a comforting look.
"Your Majesty has now been transferred out of the medical cabin, but because the effects of the anesthesia have not passed, he is still in a coma, and it is not convenient for him to visit for the time being."
Hearing the other party's answer, Carl felt that the boulder in his heart had fallen to the ground, but he was relieved, but Benson's next sentence made his mood feel like riding a roller coaster. He hung up again just after he relaxed.
"It's just that your majesty is old after all, and he was injured on the battlefield when he was young, so this time new illnesses and old illnesses are mixed together. Although his life is saved, his body is much weaker than before. This must not happen again in the future. Don't worry about it, otherwise, even if it is not because of this illness, it will be life-threatening because of other recurrences."
Hearing Benson's words, Carl couldn't help but hold his breath, and involuntarily turned his gaze to Cromway beside him. After pondering, the latter spoke slowly. Although he pretended to be calm, he showed the same composure as before, but The slight tremor in his voice magnified the tension in his heart infinitely.
"...Your Majesty's body has always been strong. When he was young, he went through a lot of tempering on the battlefield. How could he be knocked down by such a small injury."
"Son, you were also born in the rain of bullets. Of course, you should also know that it is because you often fight in the battlefield and fight with Zerg and other aliens that you have so many old diseases on your body, right?"
Benson is also one of the few veteran ministers who knows the relationship between Cromway and Freddy, and he is also a master of the apricot forest respected by Cromway. His words naturally have extraordinary weight in Cromway's heart. His words are like a It hit Cromway's heart like a heavy hammer, causing a suffocating pain in his heart.
"And, I believe that because of this, you should know the importance and value of life better than anyone else."
"Also, when His Majesty was just unconscious, it was your name that was called. Although you can't enter the room to visit now, you can stand outside the glass window to visit. If you don't believe me, you can see it yourself. "
"Go in and have a look, he's waiting for you."
The old man's hoarse voice beat on Cromway's heart like a bell and drum, causing waves in his heart. After a while, under Karl's expectant gaze, Cromway took a deep breath, as if he had made a gesture. What a decision, after all, he walked slowly towards the medical cabin.
"You go with him too."
Seeing Carl standing where he was, his posture looking a little awkward, Benson smiled kindly at him, indicating that he could also enter the ward.
After thanking the other party, Karl followed quickly, and followed Cromway's pace in two or three steps.
Carl and Cromway came outside the medical cabin. A floor-to-ceiling polished glass divided the room into two halves, as if dividing the world into Yin and Yang sides. One side contained cold and icy potions, while the other side Then stand the sick and miss the person.
The clear glass window is like a clear lake, reflecting Kelunwei's tall and slender figure. He stood in front of the glass for a long time, and after a long time, trembling eyebrows, he cast his gaze on the hospital bed——
I saw that the temples of the old man lying on the hospital bed turned almost completely white in just a few days, and the snow-white hair color and the white bed sheet almost blended into one.The old man's cheeks were sunken, his lips were chapped, and his appearance was quite different from his previous appearance when he sat on the throne and dominated the world.
Facing the pain of life and death, no matter whether it is a great man who holds great power or an ordinary person who is as small as grass, they all appear equally vulnerable.
Standing outside the window for a moment, as if he couldn't bear to look again, Cromway turned his head slightly, Carl also saw his discomfort, and knew that what Freddy needed most at this time was peace of mind, so he wanted to speak softly , and left with Cromway.
Just when he was about to speak, a soft voice came from inside the glass window. The voice was vague at first, but it gradually became clear after a while.
Carl and Cromway instantly stopped their preparations to leave, and returned to the window, listening quietly to the sounds coming from the house.
"Cromway...don't be afraid, Dad is here, don't worry, no one...no one will bully you again."
Although Freddy's murmur was not loud and the words were a bit vague, the two of them still heard it clearly as they stood holding their breaths.
Cromway used to be familiar with this sentence.Once upon a time, when he was in an enemy country, when he was being bullied by his prince, Freddie would always be the first to rush out to protect him, hold him in his arms, comfort him, and softly tell him that everything would be fine with his father around. of.
But at this time, seeing that Freddy was still in a coma, but he was still saying his own name, and recalling the past, Cromway couldn't help feeling sour in his eyes and wet on his face.
After a while, he raised his hand to touch it, only to find that the front of his clothes had been soaked with tears at some point.
***
Because Freddy was still in a coma, it was not convenient for outsiders to go in and visit, so after seeing Freddy through the glass, the two had no choice but to leave.Seeing Freddy's physical condition at this time, and also seeing the hidden worries in Cromway's heart, Karl took the initiative to find a step for him, and suggested that he was still on vacation at this time, so why not stay in the palace longer For a while, Cromway happened to be able to reorganize and deploy the Palace Guards next year.
Because of the care of Benson and other imperial doctors, Freddy's condition has stabilized after five days, he has sat up from the hospital bed, and can even walk around the palace, but his body is still relatively weak, so he can't go out. palace.
After learning the news, Carl repeatedly wanted to bring the father and son to meet. After all, he thought it was the best time for the two to be honest and explain everything clearly, so early in the morning, he asked the head of the guard about the matter. Reddy's whereabouts, knowing that the other party is in the greenhouse, he deliberately told Cromway that he wanted to walk in the garden, but intentionally or unintentionally led Cromway to the direction of the greenhouse.
Cromway is so alert, how could he be unaware of Carl's little thought, but he didn't poke it, but followed the other side to the direction of the greenhouse, just thinking that he would see Freddie soon , but there are thousands of thoughts in my heart, which are extremely complicated.
"Marshal, we have been in the palace for so long and haven't been to the flower room, and we are leaving soon. I want to go inside and have a look, can I?"
Seeing Karl blinking slyly and looking at him expectantly, Cromway nodded despite his complicated heart.
"it is good."
When you step into the greenhouse, you will immediately be greeted with a rich fragrance of flowers. Because of the constant temperature control system, the temperature inside the greenhouse is much warmer than outside, as if you have stepped into another spring country when you open the door.
After seeing the species of flowers that had been planted in the entire greenhouse, Cromway couldn't help being startled, lily of the valley -- that was his mother's favorite flower during her lifetime.
Ke Lunwei's mind froze, and when he looked up again, he saw Freddy standing in the sea of flowers not far away, with a gentle expression on his face and whispering.
"Petunia, Cromway has grown into a young man now, and he has his own partner. He is about to start a family and start a business soon. You will be very happy to know, right?"
"Maybe I will come down to accompany you soon, you won't be lonely anymore, but you should still blame me in your heart? Blame me for not coming in time, blame me for not bringing you medicine, blame the man you think is the most powerful but in the end Appearing in front of you like a knight..."
At the end, Freddy's voice gradually choked up. Although the other party's back was turned to him, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but Cromway knew that the other party must have tears on his face at this moment.
Cromway is not slow, so he is actually very clear over the years that Freddie is always watching him secretly and silently protecting himself, and every year when he visits the grave, he will see a bunch of snow mountains in front of his mother's grave. Roses, the flowers are covered in front of the tombstone like snow, but what they bring is not the coldness like frost and snow, but the slight warmth
Snow mountain roses were exactly the bouquet Freddy sent when he proposed to his mother.
After coming and going, Cromway naturally became suspicious, so once, he guessed the time of the other party's arrival, and purposely stayed one night not far away, but what he didn't expect was that Freddie took advantage of the time to avoid himself. Come to visit the grave when the night is getting dark.
The cemetery in the early morning was extremely gloomy and cold, surrounded by mist and the cold wind whimpering like ghosts and wolves howling. In front of Ni's tombstone, she can receive a bouquet of brand new snow mountain roses.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Cromway had mixed feelings, and the memories of the past overlapped with the gray-haired old man in front of him.
At this time, Cromway realized that the father who was omnipotent in his impression like a great hero had turned into an old man with a stooped figure and shambling steps. tip of the tongue and throat:
"……Father."
Hearing Cromway's voice, Freddy was taken aback. He turned around, his eyes full of disbelief, and under the signal of Carl's eyes, Cromway walked forward slowly. At first, he was a little bit at a loss, but Freddy reached out his hand first and hugged him.
At that moment, Cromway was a little dazed, but in the next moment he also reached out his hand.After many years, the father and son finally untied their knots and embraced each other and wept.
Because the father and son finally unraveled the knot, Cromway, who was treating Zhihuo, accompanied Freddie. Because of this, Freddie's mental state was much better than before, and he recovered faster.
Three days later, when Freddie's physical condition has completely stabilized and he has recovered to the point where he can successfully complete all the tasks in daily life and go to court, knowing that Cromway will also leave soon, Freddie came with him and Karl When I asked An to leave, I smiled and said:
"Perhaps you should pick a time to announce your identity to everyone after the beginning of spring."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush this matter. The court situation is not stable now, and it will take some time for His Majesty Morris to accept it."
Cromway declined upon hearing the words, but seeing Freddy's eyes dimmed suddenly, he immediately said again:
"The fact that I have always been the father of your son will not change. It is not that important whether it is made public or not."
"You don't have to feel that you owe me all these years. In fact, everything I have done over the years is my voluntary choice. Whether it is entering the military or hiding my identity, I have already known it very early... What happened to mother is actually not your fault."
"It's not so much resenting you, it's better to say I'm resenting myself who was once incompetent."
"Also, being a prince is not that important to me."
As Cromway spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold Karl's hand beside him, clasped his fingers tightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"As long as he is there, my life is bright."
Hearing Cromway's words, Freddy's eyes couldn't help getting wet. What happened these few days was like a dream. He didn't expect that his son would really settle down with him one day. He has never dared to hope.
Of course, Cromway also knew that Freddy was so anxious to tell the world about the relationship between the two because he was worried that he would go back on his word, so he said what he just said.
"...Okay, okay, I didn't think about it just now, as long as you can be happy."
Freddie's worry turned into joy.
"It's just that no matter what you say, your wedding needs to be handled properly. When this period of time passes and the court situation is stable, I will personally organize the most grand wedding in the empire for you!"
Freddy laughed and teased, Cromway shook Carl's hand and nodded solemnly, and Carl nodded in response even though his face was slightly red.
Tonight is the last night that Carl and Cromway will stay in the palace. After all, Cromway does not want to reveal his identity for the time being, so the two of them are not suitable to be in the palace with the identities they have shown to the outside world at this time. They stayed for too long, so the two of them will leave the palace tomorrow morning.
The night was as cool as water. Karl stood on the terrace and looked at the scenery under his feet. He had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the empire. The evening wind blew the golden hair on Karl's forehead, coating him with a layer of silver brilliance, making his whole body dazzled. The moonlight shrouded it, making it a little more clear than usual.
"homesick?"
Seeing Karl staring at the full moon above his head in a daze, seeing the homesickness and sadness in his eyes, Cromway asked in a low voice while putting on his coat.
"Um……"
Karl nodded, and after hearing his answer, Cromwell hesitated for a while, and after leaning on the railing with Karl, he said:
"In this case, why don't we go to Atlantis together after we leave the palace tomorrow. It's been a long time, and I haven't paid respects to your parents. It's my negligence."
Carl couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that he just mentioned it casually, but Cromway seemed so serious.
"...Don't you need to go back to the Legion?"
Seeing Carl's face full of surprise, Cromway smiled.
"The empire's welfare security system is sound. No matter how busy I am, I still have annual leave, and my father also hopes that I can go out with you to relax. He said that I was too busy a while ago, and it's time to take a break."
Although Karl would not be angry even if Cromway rejected him, after all, he knew very well that Cromway shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the entire empire, so he was not surprised.But he still feels very happy to hear that the other party agrees with him, respects himself, and thinks about himself.
In the previous life, he was imprisoned by Lindsay, became a caged bird, and lost his freedom, but after being with Cromway, he can come in and out freely, and he is respected by others, and the other party will tell himself that he is unique , There seemed to be a warm current surging in his heart, and he felt extraordinarily happy.
"Okay!"
Carl nodded, his eyes were already crescents.
"...You don't want His Majesty to announce your identity, do you still hold grudges against him?"
After blowing the wind and watching the scenery side by side with Cromway, Karl asked carefully.
In Karl's view, Cromway has already caused Morris's strong dissatisfaction. Paper can't hold fire, and his identity will be announced sooner or later. There was a grudge, and not quite letting go of everything.
Cromway shook his head.
"I actually don't have any idea about the emperor's throne. Although I have understood my father's helplessness at that time, I definitely can't do it if I want to blame him, but it doesn't mean that I don't Forgive him, it can even be said that it is not my father that I have been resenting all these years, but myself."
"But the reason why I don't want my position to be announced is because I don't want you to be my mother. I... I have been worrying that I will become a father in the future, and fail like he failed his mother." you……"
Cromway said, looking sideways into Carl's eyes, with a solemn tone: "Don't worry, I will only have you in this life."
"You will be my only companion."
"Ah."
Carl smiled and took Cromway's hand. His golden eyes were like tulips unfolding in the night, shining like night pearls. In the cold wind, their fingers were entangled, as if the sun and the moon were a matchmaker. As evidence, will never be separated.
