Act 226 Ideal

Brando was silent for a moment. ⊙, Levin Onneson asked him to recommend Antitina to the throne, which was actually to give the northern and southern nobles an opportunity to sit down again to discuss the future of the kingdom. Because Antitina is the lost bloodline of the Sifah royal family, once Brando makes this proposal, she must first prove to the Noble Council the legitimacy of her inheritance of the throne. As a branch of the Sifah royal family, the northern nobles also have reason to participate and witness all this, and may be happy to see a descendant of the Sifah royal family take over the throne of Eruin.

In this way, the nobles of the south and the north may end the long-lasting dispute between Eruin since the mysterious death of Aubergu VII through parliament rather than war.

Levin Ornesson knew the nature of politicians very well. Once they sat down and started arguing, the chance of resorting to weapons was almost gone.

But Brando didn't plan to do that.

He first repeated to Freya what the eldest son of the king wrote to them in the letter, and then said: "Although the method of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the king can avoid civil war and division for a while, in this way Eruin will return In the era when Auberge VII was alive, the corpse-ridden nobles were still eating away at the foundation of the kingdom like moths. No matter how well we papered the surface, there was no guarantee that Eruin would have good luck again and again. If this continued, one day it would be destroyed. It will collapse.

Freya nodded. As someone who has been pursuing the ideal progress of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Brando, she can best understand what their ideal Eruin is like - it may be far away, but it is definitely not This is what it looks like now.

She asked softly: "So Brando, what are you going to do?"

"I have an idea," Brando thought for a moment and replied: "What Eruin needs is not the rules and order set by a powerful person for a while. I can protect the kingdom and move forward today. But I can't do it tomorrow." With the protection of its left and right, the subjects of the kingdom always have to choose their own path and destiny."

"This ancient kingdom has had many kings. The Sifach family and the Corcova family have taken turns to rule it for nearly a thousand years. Both families have deep prestige. Today, Princess Griffiin and His Highness Levin both understand the justice , that being the case. Why can’t Eru have two or more people who decide its fate?”

Freya was taken aback, widened her eyes and said, "Brando, what do you mean...?"

"Haruze has no intention of taking the throne, so let Princess Griffin, His Highness Levin and Antitina unite to form the Three Kings' Parliament, and then re-elect members from the current Noble Parliament to participate in this parliament together. They Each represents the will of three ancient families, the Sifah royal family, the Corcova royal family, and the local nobles. The royal family and the nobles made a sacred oath. Together they are in charge of the fate of Eruin. They promise to wait for each other. If any party has any If you violate this oath, you will be despised by everyone."

"But...is this really possible?" Freya asked in a daze. The suggestion put forward by Brando was a bit beyond her imagination, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not impossible.

Brando did not immediately answer whether this parliamentary system is good or bad. You may not be able to see it today. But first and more importantly, it can end Eruin's long-standing crisis of disputes and divisions. It is to plant a seed in people's hearts so that they can get used to discussing and deciding the fate of the kingdom together, instead of entrusting the future of the kingdom to a powerful lord or king.

And one day, this seed will take root and sprout in Eruin, transitioning from aristocratic politics to civilian politics, only then. The ideal of the late Lord Ekko was finally realized.

Of course, Brando never thought of success overnight. At least for the moment, Eruin's noble lords and royal family still need strong power. It's just that this kind of power cannot be dominated by one family, but needs to be checked and balanced. The tripartite parliament or even the four-party parliament is the best means of check and balance. As long as Eruin can sustain this disaster faced by the entire Warnd. Then this agreement between the nobles and the royal family will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Freya lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, Brando... The royal party will not agree. They have been operating for many years, and the Corcova royal family finally took control of the south. If they want to express their ambitions through the royal family, how can they allow others to divide the cake?"

After becoming a qualified commander, Freya's knowledge was also different from before, and she could point out the key to the problem at a glance.

Brando shook his head disdainfully: "The royal party's ambitions were once lofty, but most of them have now deteriorated because of the lack of supervisors. Except for a few people such as Overwell and Macaro, there are also Who is adhering to the ideals of the late Lord Ek? Those who do whatever they can will eventually become greedy and greedy. They cannot even tolerate me, let alone the Council of Three Kings?"

"Then..." Freya said confused.

"No change is smooth sailing, Freya," Brando silently folded the letter between Haruze and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then handed it to the Valkyrie: "Take my meaning back. , tell Princess Griffin, she will understand what should be done."

Countless people have shed blood and sacrificed for Eruin. Now, it is finally the turn of the nobles of the kingdom to be on the guillotine. As the descendants of the ancient nobles who were promised by the ancestor Ek to lead the people forward, they must prove themselves with blood today. of legality.

"This may be the last time I change Eruin's fate, and it must be the most thorough one." When Brando handed the letter to Freya, he continued: "I have left the kingdom with a legacy after the change. The White Lion Legion, the fleet of Valhalla, has brought back the Lion Heart Sword and the White Lion Guard of the previous king. Eruin will continue to expand southward in the future. One day, it may achieve the hegemony of the empire. I believe it His destiny has changed."

"Brando?" Freya was surprised: "Are you going to leave us?"

Brando shook his head: "No, I'm not going anywhere, Freya. But you have to understand that the power of Valhalla cannot affect Eruin all the time. Do you understand, what I want to establish is not A puppet that relies on me, but a kingdom with free will. If I take action today, I can even completely uproot Eruin's noble power, but that is meaningless, because people will only remember this moment The shadow of power trembles under my rule. I can decide my words and deeds, but I cannot decide the words and deeds of everyone in this ruling class. There will always be people who use my name to act unscrupulously. The kingdom is unprofitable.”

"I am not a qualified politician, but I know who is. I will appoint three of them to pave the way for their future, and they will decide where Eruin's future will go. I believe they will give this ancient kingdom A glorious future, just as they put the power of deciding their own destiny into my hands."

At the end of Brando's words, his words were as solid as iron, as if they had a ring to the earth.

Freya looked at him in surprise. It was the first time she saw such a firm and confident look on the other side. At this moment, Brando seemed like a real king. His words and deeds had already determined the future of a kingdom.

She took a deep breath and replied seriously: "I understand, I will convey your thoughts to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Brando smiled slightly and said softly: "There is no need to be so serious, Freya, you have worked hard along the way. Rest for two days before setting off, and meeting Andrea may yield unexpected gains - yes Yes, please remember to tell Her Royal Highness the Princess to be wary of the Royal Party. I suspect that the Oneness of All Things has penetrated deeply within the Royal Party, but unfortunately we have not had time to deal with it."

Freya was surprised and nodded again.

There was a sudden silence between the two of them.

They had fought side by side in Butch's most critical situation, fighting a way out of desperate situations, facing the sea of ​​fire at Fort Reeden, and thousands of undead. They relied on each other, waiting for and making promises to each other.

The bud of that promise finally grew into a towering tree today.

"Brando." Freya suddenly said.

Brando was startled and raised his head. Seeing Freya's twinkling eyes looking at her, Valkyrie's cheeks turned red and she said word by word: "Do you still remember our promise?"

Brando nodded.

"Brando," Freya took courage and said word by word: "You fulfilled your promise, you are a real man. I lost to Roman, but it doesn't matter, I like you, Bu Lando, do you understand? Starting from Braggs, the ideal in my heart only exists for you——"

She seemed to have exhausted all her strength to finish speaking this sentence, and then turned her head away. Her chest could not help but rise and fall, and the blood-red color extended from her cheeks to the root of her neck.

It was so quiet in the hall that you could hear a pin drop.

Andrea's eyes sparkled, as if she had some admiration.

Delphine smiled slightly, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

"Freya..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such rude words..." Freya said: "After I rescue Roman, I will personally apologize to her, but... I am not the Valkyrie of Eruin. I still remember the one from Braggs. A naive militia captain? I...I will always follow you, Brando."

Brando smiled bitterly, what else could he say? This is a sacrifice without regrets, and anything he says can only be hypocritical. He just nodded silently and replied: "Thank you, Freya."

Eruin's Valkyrie is a little shy. At this moment, the pure and flawless smile on her heroic face is more precious than the wings of an angel.

Freya pressed her chest with her hands, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out.

"Scared me to death, Brando..."

She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Brando shook his head, thinking silly girl, silly girl.
