"She firmly believes that she can win." Crow nodded.
“She’s also really never lost.”
This actually poses a huge hidden danger.
Elwin just thought about this sentence in her mind, she didn't dare to say it in front of this person.
But it is true. I admire the legendary deeds of Her Majesty and have great respect for her achievements. But if the facts are really as Ms. Yusilian said, then the stability of the so-called Kingdom of the Sun God is not entirely dependent on the sword in the hands of this goddess?
She thinks she can win—
But what if she loses one day?
Elwin didn't want to think about that possibility, because now including herself, the whole of Sara, the whole of Ikalolin and even Namiya were looking forward to the other party's return. She shouldn't think about such an ominous assumption.
But that's her character. She doesn't have the powerful military force to dominate the world. If she wasn't more cautious and thoughtful, she would not be able to hold on to this position and would have been dragged into the quagmire by those dead nobles.
"I can tell what you're thinking."
Crow said calmly, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"You're fine acting outside, but when it comes to people who can make you let your guard down, your acting skills are far from perfect."
"I'm just assuming the worst." Alvin said calmly.
"What's the use?" the crow asked.
"It is 'they' who hold the power. If there is real danger, they will be the ones who will be at the forefront. This is not something you, a mortal king, should think about. Even if you think about it day and night, what can you change?"
"I would rather waste my time thinking about it than have my mind go blank when I really need to make a decision."
Alvin replied immediately.
"This is not something you are qualified to interfere with." The Blood Crystal Crow snorted.
"I understand your intention. You just want to do something to help the Kingdom of God."
Elwin: "Sara is also part of the Kingdom of God! All of Namiia can be!"
"I know, but I still suggest you get yourself in good shape first."
"I have talked to you for so long without realizing it... I will go back to the house first, you can call Emily back."
After saying that, the Blood Crystal Crow flapped its wings and flew towards the house, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It's a bit underestimated.
Sitting there, Alvin puffed up his cheeks in anger.
What does it mean to get my body in good shape first? Does this mean she is concerned about my marriage as an elder?
Shaking his head to get rid of those messy thoughts, Alvin stretched out his hand and gestured to call the maids back, asking them to bring Emily back.
"What's the matter, sister Queen?"
Emily came back, with grass clippings still on her fair little face.
She had completely fallen in love with life in the White Shadow Palace. The gardens and courtyards here were so vast and spacious. It was not at all like the Hitzfell Manor hidden in the shadows. After crossing the wooden bridge, there were only shadows except for a bunch of bushes.
"Go back and clean up first."
Alvin reached out and patted her, removing the grass from her face and hair.
"Your teacher has come to see you. If she doesn't mind waiting a little longer, you should take an incense bath and show your respect to her."
"teacher?"
Emily was startled, and her watery blue eyes suddenly widened.
Teachers... I only have a few teachers. Among them, it is impossible for Grandpa Gu to pull out his roots and walk outside. Sister Hutao swore that she would never leave the manor in her life, and it would not be her, so it can only be...
"Old crow!"
With a short scream, Emily turned around and ran away.
She aimed at a big banyan tree a few steps away - the shadow cast by the sun on the trunk, she would be fine as long as she could get inside!
However, before she could leap out, she was picked up by the collar and forced into the warm arms of her queen sister, and pinched on the face.
"They found me here."
Alvin made that gnashing sound.
"If you run away, how am I going to explain to your mother?"
"But the old crow is horrible!"
Emily opened her arms and tried to gesture to make Alwin understand how difficult it was to deal with the Blood Crystal Crow.
"At least 100 questions every day..."
"Literature and history essay... 3000 words!"
"She also forced me to learn music and painting! She said my mother's painting was so good that I couldn't be worse! How ridiculous!"
“Alright, alright…” Alvin tilted his head back to avoid the girl’s flailing claws. “At least from what you said, she taught you quite well.”
"That's because I'm smart!" Emily was so angry, "It has nothing to do with her rote learning!"
Alvin didn't believe her nonsense and carried her back to the house. In order to prevent her from escaping, he even took her to bathe and fumigate with incense himself.
“You should cherish this opportunity.”
While rubbing the girl's arms and calves, Alvin suddenly had an idea.
"As for me... I enjoyed peace due to the background of the times, but I didn't have much chance to enjoy the love of my family."
"Some people have to go through betrayal to grow up, and those who have been hurt are only willing to trust the sword in their hands."
"In contrast, little Emily has both motherly love and peace. She can eat whatever she wants and play whatever she wants every day... All you need to do is complete your little homework."
"If you can't even do this well, I'll be sad too."
“Ah…sister…”
Emily didn't expect her to do this and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
But if you think about it carefully, what the other party said is not wrong.
He grew up under the care of his mother, and even the place where he went on vacation was the White Shadow Palace, which was unimaginable to ordinary people.
The conditions in all aspects are the best, so it is really unjustifiable to be so willful.
"I don't actually disrespect Mr. Crow."
Her head dropped straight down as Emily finally told the truth.
"I didn't want to study. When I was at home, several teachers taught me, and I studied hard. I didn't slack off!"
"Then why did you run away just now?"
Alvin touched her little head and made her tilt her head upward so that she looked at him.
"It's not disrespect, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's that I'm afraid?"
"Neither!"
Emily hesitated.
"I am……"
"I just don't feel like studying right now!"
"Not now?"
Alvin was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood why Emily added this tense modifier.
If you don't want to do something now, generally speaking, there must be another thing that is considered more important and that you want to do more.
"You want to help?"
Her voice couldn't help but lower, and she quickly looked around, fearing that there might be eavesdroppers.
She couldn't help but be cautious.
What they are discussing now is the foundation for the stability of the entire world...
"I want to help my mother!"
Emily nodded.
"I can see through what my mother can see through, and I also understand what my mother understands."
"Then why can't I help my mother?"
"Obviously the only difference between us is our height, body shape and appearance. I can do those things, too. I can do no worse than mom!"
This little thing...why does it think the same as me?
Alvin was so confused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought that even I was disliked, and you were just a little kid, a little——
Gradually, she couldn't laugh anymore.
Although Emily was young, as the offspring of those two people, her origin and bloodline were destined to be extraordinary.
Hmm... maybe it can be described as "the second generation of God".
Although he had reached adulthood early and his ancestors were related, he didn't know how many generations had passed. His strength was definitely not comparable to that of the other party, and he was almost the same as an ordinary person.
From this perspective, it is unclear whether Emily is qualified, but she is definitely more qualified than herself.
Ugh……
What a depressing reality.
Is there no way I can help...
"Sister, do you want to intervene in the situation as well?"
Emily was quick to notice that her sister the Queen was quickly becoming depressed. She inherited her mother's emotional intelligence and immediately comforted her: "It's okay~ Emily is here to accompany you..."
"little things."
Alwyn pinched her nose.
"So good at talking."
"I wonder how many people I will deceive when I grow up..."
"Then I will definitely prioritize deceiving the Queen."
Emily's eyes suddenly lit up.
"When I grow up I want to marry the Queen!"
"You're also a great joke teller...Okay, that's enough, let's wipe ourselves off."
Not taking the child's words seriously, Alwin dried her, changed her into new clothes, and asked the maid to take her to find the Blood Crystal Crow. He soaked in the bathtub for a while longer.
She did think a lot.
These include the eighteen statues in the garden courtyard.
Chapter 27: The Deeper Reasons (Two in One)
Yes, eighteen - not seventeen as others believe.
Even though the divine blood had become extremely thin, and even its power had been usurped by Sina in the middle, there was at least a "reflow" in which the sea of time and the human world merged. Relying on his birth, Alvin could still glimpse some special scenes in his dreams that belonged only to the descendants of gods.
This includes the "Avenue of Light and Shadow" connected to the garden courtyard of the White Shadow Palace, where there are seventeen statues guarding the Duke, implying that the most loyal servants and guardians of the ancient dynasty will watch everyone who walks towards the palace in this way, examine them, and interrogate them.
Unfortunately, most of the statues were destroyed. Many were destroyed and only the base was left. The best preserved ones only had a pair of legs left. Later generations don't even know what the dukes looked like.
But Alwyn had dreamt of the statues as they had been originally carved and cast.
There are seventeen dukes, all of them are men. Some are young and gentle, while others are old and majestic.
In that dream, she saw with her own eyes some people, probably servants, who were carrying statues one after another from the carriage. They were talking while they were working, talking about the eighteenth person who had only appeared in words.
"The statue of Lord Sangaro should be placed here, next to Lord Karoli."
"No! No! Lord Pendorei is not facing Lord Barel! The one in the middle is Lord Diroque!"
"But hasn't Lord Diroque already—"
"Hush...you idiot! Do we have the right to talk nonsense like that?"
