Chapter 1636 Frogampfog (Twenty-Four)

No. 1g&fog (twenty-four)

The old king called me into his reception room,

There is plenty of sunshine here, and the dust is flying like gold dust in the morning sun.

Someone once told me that my greatest misfortune was my disbelief in friendship and in that most delightful of human emotions—love.

I think I agree with most people on this,

When you don’t need it, you will discard what is of no use to you.

Friendship is just an empty name, and there is no need to give up feelings to women.

Men must be bold in heart and purpose, otherwise they will have no business in politics or war.

I haven't sat in a guest seat for a long time, which makes me feel inferior.

But I was like this when I was young,

Often sitting in a chair and being picked on.

I stroked the gilt sheep's head on the armrest of the chair, savoring this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

The subjects of the Sheep Kingdom are all very wealthy, perhaps because the king does not take the initiative to wage war with other countries and does not need to increase the burden on his subjects.

The Hare Kingdom adjacent to the Sheep Kingdom has many craftsmen who are good at making crossbows, but it is surrounded by other big countries.

As long as they have plans to expand, they will be annihilated by the surrounding countries, so they have no choice but to sell the crossbows they made to those kingdoms.

The Eagle and Rooster countries originally had the largest number of warriors, but due to constant fighting between the two countries, the population decreased, and they eventually had to rely on marriage to maintain peace.

The Quail Kingdom is the most powerful, but it is located in the plains, while the Sheep Kingdom is located on the plateau, and the soldiers cannot adapt to the climate here. In addition, the old king likes to build fortifications, and with those weapons for defending the city, it is impossible to attack them for a long time. .

I remember that sheep should graze in the plains, and partridges in the mountains,

Strange world, strange country, strange customs.

Old King: Do you know why I brought you here?

No, I said in an arrogant tone, what do you want to do?

Old King: Which kingdom do you want to wipe off the map?

Me: Why do you ask that?

Old King: You will not be a landless king.

Me: You said you would marry your daughter to the king.

Old King: You are not yet.

Me: You don’t want to destroy me and eliminate the threat?

Old King: I am already old.

I don't understand his logic.

Old King: Have you ever been married?

Me: Yes.

Old King: How did it end?

Me: She betrayed me first.

Old King: What did you do to get revenge on her?

Me: Everything you can think of.

Old King: Do you still love her?

Me: I loved it.

Old King: Don’t you love me now?

Me: The only happiness I have ever tasted in this world came from her, and the most ferocious poison also came from her. How could I let you understand what I felt at that time?

Old King: I don’t want to say sympathetic words, and you don’t need to listen, right?

I sneered and didn't answer.

Old King: I heard a prophecy that a stranger will save my daughter.

Me: You think it wasn’t me. If it were me, you wouldn’t want to expel me.

Old King: But you are still a 'stranger'. The son of an acquaintance is coming, and I don't want my daughter to marry him.

Me: Why? He is a real prince.

Old King: I would rather marry her to a ranger with good moral character than let her marry that prince. He wants to annex my kingdom and enslave my subjects.

Me: Is the country more important, or is your daughter’s happiness more important?

Old King: What do you think?

Me: I do not wish to continue to shed blood and may listen to any conditions that do not allow the honor and interests of this country.

Old King: You don’t have a daughter, do you?

I didn't answer him.

Old King: When you have a daughter, you will understand how I feel.

Me: What do you want me to do?

Old King: You asked her to call you uncle. What do you think your uncle would do in this situation?

Me: I can’t imagine it.

Old King: This is what I originally planned to say to you. I can't imagine how you felt at that time. It's meaningless for you to ask me how you can make me understand how you felt at that time.

Me: So we’re having a pointless conversation?

Old King: I can give you a piece of land, 'Uncle', as long as you are willing to take care of my daughter and son-in-law.

I spread my hands: I have nothing, how can I take care of myself?

Old King: Do you think our conversation is meaningful now?

"You had a strange dream, senior." Severus sat on the chair and looked at Sleeping Beauty and said, "I would understand if you dreamed of a handsome man, but why was it the dwarf?"

No one answered him.

"Is it because he is a Muggle king?" Severus said to himself. "In fairy tales, kings are always stupid and deceived by charlatans. If kings and nobles are the privileged class, they can be ridiculed at will. Their wizards have become an ultra-privileged class precisely because of their Only pure-bloods and ambitious people like Grindelwald who think they can rule the world through magic appear. I never told you that Bella and the others didn't treat Muggles as human beings at all when they tortured them. It's like playing a game, except the ants under the magnifying glass are no longer ants. . Arthur Weasley only saw this scene, but did not remember the scene in the Middle Ages when Muggles tied the wizards they considered to be burned at the stake, or he deliberately did not mention it. When he is a good person, he must be lying. Lily has been living in a In a relatively simple world, I did something wrong that hurt her. I was unable to correct that mistake. I just wanted to make it up to her and let her son grow up healthily. I said that to him at the time because I couldn't let Dumbledore If he finds more excuses, he will blackmail me into doing excessive things for him."

Still no one answered him.

"I thought that when we left England, just the two of us, everything would go back to how it was when we lived in seclusion." Severus said calmly, "Now I doubt whether we can go back to the past when you come back. Today Lucius and I Speaking of remarriage, I don’t think there is any way for me to marry another woman. When people get married, he attaches great importance to continuing the bloodline. I am not the same person as him. I hate the Boy-Who-Lived. I almost killed him. If his friend Weasley hadn't prolonged his life, I think I I was going crazy at the time, and I could still use the God-calling Guard. I just wanted everything to go faster. It's over, we can continue to live, but you thought I was a 'murderer'. I agreed to Dumbledore's plea, and this is how he repaid me. I think if it were me, I would do the same thing, mine The original intention was to tell Harry Potter to one person, but he told it in public After he came out, he could never keep secrets. I knew from when he learned Occlumency that our savior was such a person. I think Harry Potter can only grow up on his own without the guidance of his elders. , luckily he has many friends, Draco needs us."

Severus reached out and used wandless magic to repair the broken swan necklace around her neck.

"You should learn from Fleur." He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. "Beautiful girls are usually considered arrogant. You don't need to listen to that old fool and act humble, nor do you need to cover up your beauty in order to please others. , go ahead as they say, I love you, please believe me."

"It's hard for you to believe it, godfather." Draco put his hands in his trousers pockets and stood at the door and said leisurely, "Aunt Bella said you can't be trusted."

Severus didn't answer, grabbing Pomona's hand.

"I'll wait for you in the living room." Draco said and left, leaving the space to the two people in the bedroom.
