The Sun King's Evidence

Ryan took Lidya Su to a small handicraft workshop, which was decorated like a bar. It was antique and full of historical charm, but there was a sweet smell in the air.

Lidya Su smiled weakly just now. She just leaned against Ryan and sniffed the smell in the air: "Is this... the smell of chocolate?"

"Yes, it's chocolate." Ryan nodded with a smile: "This is a chocolate workshop."

"Chocolate workshop?! Why..."

"Chocolate workshop, this time, we will make chocolate by hand." Ryan held his wife's hand with a smile, and the King of Knights' leather shoes made a clicking sound on the wooden floor: "You can do whatever you want. oh!"

"Then, can I be a little bear?" Little stars appeared in Sulia's eyes. She liked little bears the most. There were little bear dolls everywhere in the house, especially the golden ones. Ryan was always worried about whether there would be some legal dispute. The department came to visit.

"Of course." Ryan nodded and smiled.

Chocolate is a very, very, very expensive luxury product. There are two types of luxury goods: Arabi chocolate and high elf chocolate. The price of Arabi chocolate is about sixty gold crowns per pound, while the price of high-precision chocolate is At up to 330 gold crowns per pound, this may be the most expensive luxury product in the world, but for this reason, this kind of chocolate is sought after all over the world. By the way, the chocolate made by the high elves is eaten. Afterwards, you can indeed regain your physical strength and energy very quickly, eliminate hunger, and be yourself again.

Making chocolate is actually very simple. After a little guidance from the store owner, Ryan and Sulia quickly understood the trick and started to do it. After all, the puree and chocolate are ready-made. All they have to do is to boil the ready-made chocolate and add cream. Wait for something, then pour it into the module to cool down.

Sulia immediately started to make the bear model she liked. The female knight was obviously very patient with this, while Ryan was carving the model seriously. If anyone saw it, they would find that what he carved were skulls, double heads, etc. Model of the eagle and the sword iron fist.

Ryan simply carved a few and stopped doing it. The King of Knights watched Sulia clumsily making the mold according to the bear pattern. He suddenly thought that Sulia had no experience in this area, so he put down the carton in his hand. The module took the initiative to walk behind Sulia, gently hugged his wife into his arms from behind, and held Sulia's small hand with a pair of big hands: "I'm here to help you."

"Yes." Lidya Su could feel her husband's hands holding her little hands, and there was a reassuring power in them. His gentle breath sounded in her ears, and his chin gently pressed On her dazzling blonde hair: "Yes, that's right, that's it, thinly, bit by bit."

The workshop was very quiet. There was no one except the couple. Ryan held Sulia from behind. For a moment, apart from the distant noise, there was only a slight bubbling sound in the room, which was the sound of chocolate being boiled. the sound of.

The sweet fragrance in the air seemed to be getting stronger. Lidya Su gently outlined the bear's template and said softly: "Is that so? Ryan."

"Be a little gentler and don't use too much force." Ryan guided step by step. He inhaled deeply the rich body fragrance of Sulia: "Sulia, I really like the little bear~"

"The bear is very cute, don't you think?" Sulia raised her head sideways and said softly to Ryan: "The little bear is the cutest."

"Why do you think little bears are cute?" Ryan found that he really didn't understand his wife at all. He knew that Sulia liked everything related to bears very much, but he didn't know why.

"My father told me a story when I was coaxing me to sleep when I was a child. At that time, Louis the Reckless, the second generation knight king of Brittany, led the knights into the forest to hunt. After a whole day, they found nothing. His knights and knights' retinue, and even the trainee knights who were only fourteen years old, hunted several pheasants, but Louis never caught anything." Sulia leaned on her husband's back and whispered softly: "In order not to To embarrass the king, the knights decided to get a wounded bear and put it on the king's path, so that the king could gain something."

"But King Louis easily saw through the knights' assumptions. He reprimanded the knights and released the injured bear. King Louis said that hunting such injured prey was more difficult than using force, and he used cheating and trickery. , will only prevent knights from getting close to the Holy Grail for life. This is not the spirit of chivalry." Sulia continued: "From that time on, I fell in love with this soft, round and cute doll. To me, it is A symbol of chivalry.”

"You have the right to be a glorious knight, my lady." Ryan sighed with emotion, and his voice couldn't help but tremble: "I'm sorry, madam, I did something wrong."

The two have been married for many years, and as the husband, he doesn’t even know this!

"What's wrong? Ryan, what did you do wrong?" Lidya Su was a little strange.

"I did something wrong." The King of Knights said in a distant voice: "I did something wrong, I shouldn't do this, I always... I, I am such a loser!"

"Ryan?"

"I have always said that we are one husband and wife, and there is no difference between us." Ryan hugged his wife tightly from behind. The King of Knights hugged his own queen, as if he was afraid that she would leave suddenly: "But I am always on guard against you. I always feel that you are too powerful... Me, you regard me as your husband, but I regard you as your opponent."

"..." Lidya Su stopped talking.

"I am always on guard against everyone. There are countless secrets hidden in me. I am always worried that my secrets will be exposed. I always label everyone who is close to me." The king's voice became more and more trembling: "I am very scared, I am afraid of that terrible future. I am very afraid. I am afraid that my decades of planning will be in vain. I always feel that I cannot fail. I cannot allow myself to fail. I have always treated myself like a hedgehog. I always feel that I have noble blood and am different from you, and I always guard against everything, including you."

"I know your throne was hard-won." Sulia sighed softly. She put down the bear mold in her hand, and the queen held Ryan's big hand with her backhand: "You don't want anyone to share your core power. As prime minister or regent, you prefer a jester like Orika because she won't make you feel constrained, am I right?"

"Yes." Ryan deeply regretted: "I made a mistake."

"It's not your fault..." "Listen to me, dear." The two voices sounded almost at the same time.

"Okay, you say." Lidya Su compromised.

"My birth was a transaction of interests." Ryan whispered: "My father told me everything. I am smart. I always feel that everything is interests and everything is a transaction. I am very rich, and I am also I'm very poor, I'm very conceited, but I also have low self-esteem. I always think that I don't need those worthless things, I just need benefits to make people attractive."

"So when I face Theresa and Veronica, I am always full of confidence, because I know what they want, and I can give it to them, whether it is resources, the Wizard Tower, or the entire Gloria Council , I know what Orica wants, I protected her soul from the prying eyes of Slaanesh, I know what Emilia wants, she just wants a safe and warm home and a child, I even know what the lady wants What do you want, but only you..." Ryan said repeatedly, his voice constantly trembling, and even choked: "I don't know what you want, I don't understand, so I always feel that you have a big conspiracy. "

Ryan raised his head, not wanting tears to fall on Lidya Su's shoulders.

Tears fell down from the queen's delicate face, and Sulia said tremblingly: "Why have you never thought that I really love you instead of wanting to get something from you? Why are you always on guard? What about me? Ryan, am I so unbearable in your eyes? "

"I never dare to hope for love. It's too heavy for me." Ryan couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes. The king hugged his wife: "Only love is priceless, and it is also the most important thing for human beings in this world." The foundation for survival in the dark universe. You see, the high elves were once such a glorious civilization, but now they have to cobble together an army for a long time. I wonder if one day, we will be the same."

What a glorious civilization the human empire was in the Golden Age? But what about now? It's just relying on the sacrifice of the Emperor and countless people to survive.

One day, darkness will engulf everything. Mortals can defeat chaos hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times, but as long as they fail once, the world will be destroyed, all mortals will be destroyed, and then after a long time, the world will rebuild. Shaped, reborn, and then discovered and destroyed by the four gods of chaos, repeating this desperate process, extremely desperate.

There was still a sweet smell in the air, and chocolate was boiling and bubbling on the distant fire.

"You always mention your adoptive father, Ryan." Sulia squeezed Ryan's big hand, and she forced herself to calm down so as not to cry: "Does his adoptive father love you?"

"Father, he loves us all." Ryan sighed. He could not answer this question truthfully. He could only change the concept. Just like his brother Guilliman, the truth was too cruel.

"What about you? Do you love your father?" Sulia then asked. The female knight turned her head and looked at her husband with a look of love.

"I..." Ryan couldn't say it.

Does Ryan love the Emperor?

No, in fact, for a long time, he resented the Emperor. Maybe the Emperor gave him power, but this was not the life he wanted.

The first transformation was when Ryan became a trainee knight. When Nord was fighting against the invasion of northern barbarians, he tasted the sweetness of strength for the first time. While his peers were still receiving military training at home, Ryan was already able to kill barbarian predators. Like slaughtering chickens and dogs.

The second transformation was at Marienburg, where the Emperor told the Lion everything, and the Lion realized how much the Master of Mankind had sacrificed for humanity to survive.

But even so, it is far from love, it is just respect, worship, and some kind of transaction. The Emperor gave Ryan status and powerful power, and Ryan rewarded him with his own unique characteristics, resurrecting and reversing his ordeal. Be it fallen or dead brothers.

Of course, Ryan thinks this is a deal. Of course, Ryan views everything in terms of transactions.

"Machinery can't change everything, and manpower will always be exhausted. You see, the palace intrigues of the high elves may be something that the human kingdom will never be able to catch up with, but they should decline or decline. Isn't it best for Fenuba to become the Phoenix King? Proof?" Sulia said softly: "You always think that you can solve the problem alone. You only need your subordinates to be your wrench, your lance and your shield, but you are very tired like this, and Even so, you can't fight against the whole world. Everyone has their own limitations, and so do you."

After hearing this, Ryan couldn't help laughing. Yes, governing a country cannot only rely on tactics and benevolence and morality. It doesn't mean that the Phoenix King finds an opportunity to show off his so-called kingly style, kill individuals to establish his authority, and build a grand blueprint. In an instant, everyone in the Jing Palace was in full swing, and it looked like a renaissance. This would be to oversimplify politics.

"Yes, yes." The king said in a low voice: "But I am the king, and I must be responsible for the entire kingdom and all my people. Darkness is approaching, dear, the great guardian left by the ancient saints every minute and every second They are all constantly weakening.”

"You are a human being, Ryan, you are a living person." Sulia sobbed: "If you can't do it alone, let me help you, let everyone help you, okay?"

"Okay!" Ryan said in a sonorous voice. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength. The king leaned on his wife, and something seemed to be missing from his body. It was a kind of relief: "Let I will tell you everything, my wife, are you ready to hear a great story?"

"This story begins with my father's plan to create twenty original body babies and train them to be his assistants..."

In the next thirty minutes, while making handmade chocolate, Ryan told Sulia everything, without any reservations.

Surprisingly, Lidya Su was not surprised at all, but listened to everything calmly. It was not until Ryan finished speaking that she said faintly: "Lian, your origin is indeed not simple."

"You don't seem particularly surprised." Ryan put his chin against Sulia's ear. The King of Knights confirmed his wife's feelings. He had never been so lucky to have such a wife.

"I have been mentally prepared for a long time." Lidya Su sighed again: "I just want to wait for this day, the day when you tell me everything in person."

"Now you know." Ryan took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Lidya Su, I..."

"Take your time." A certain premonition arose in Lidya Su's heart, and she encouraged her husband with gentle words: "I'm listening."

"I love you, Lidya Su." Ryan finally summoned up all the courage and made his own confession, even though it made him embarrassed: "It's really an honor for me to meet you."

"I love you too." Lidya Su turned her head and closed her eyes.

Lips closed.

In this second, everything in the world seemed to disappear, and all that was left was the breath coming from each other, the heartbeats, and the sweet smell of chocolate in the air.

Three minutes later, they finally separated. Lidya Su was a little embarrassed and said with a little ridicule: "Why do I feel that this time is just like the first kiss."

"..." Ryan's face turned red. He lowered his head and was speechless. The king looked very embarrassed under his wife's gaze.

Who conquered whom?

"Okay, the things are done." Lidya Su smiled even more happily. It turned out that she was the final winner: "Come and taste it, ah!"

Handmade chocolate in the shape of a bear is ready.

It was so sweet, so sweet. Ryan swore it was the sweetest chocolate he had ever tasted in his life.

Really sweet.

The couple fed each other a few pieces, packed the chocolates into boxes, and were about to pack them away when a warm golden light suddenly erupted in the chocolate workshop.

In the bloody color, the holy angel's wings fully stretched out, and a voice covered in golden light appeared from the void.

The phantom of Sanguinius, the Primarch of the Blood Angels, appeared in front of Ryan and Surya.

"You cannot lose your enthusiasm, be considerate of the weak, and help each other. No matter where you are, you can become friends with people. Don't lose this feeling, even if you have been betrayed by it hundreds of times." Sanguinius's voice was full of emotion, He looked at Ryan and Lidya Su with a smile: "To become a great businessman, you need to be people-oriented. Machiavellian tactics are only a supporting wing to achieve great things. They are indispensable, but they must not be obsessed with. Only love, justice, and courage belong to human survival." The foundation and cornerstone in this cold universe is that only if you love others, will everyone love you."

"Brother?!"

"Your love awakened me." Sanguinius nodded to Sulia: "Time and environment will corrode a person, and growth will make people shrink, but no matter what, never forget the original intention and remember why we were born. That is the foundation of our being as human beings.”

"Lidya Su, you, my sister-in-law, I admit it!"

Updated, please vote! I wrote this chapter for five hours, hoping to convey my feelings to every reader who follows this book and is now a friend and brother. The emperor is here to say thank you.
