GOR Chapter 296 The Regent
Du Wei's face remained calm, but his heart was already in turmoil!
Blue Ocean?
It's actually Blue Ocean again??
Du Wei now knows the origin of this great scholar Blue Ocean. This mysterious scholar from the Great Snow Mountain had not only taught an outstanding young man like Philip, but also taught him to be an outstanding young man. Furthermore, he had even taught Rodriguez, a top-notch warrior in the continent!
This Blue Ocean from the Snowy Mountain … … Is actually subtly involved in the royal family's power struggle?
Is it unintentional? Or is it intentional?
If it was before when Blue Ocean introduced his disciple to Du Wei, then Du Wei would only think of this old scholar as a worried old man.
But after knowing that he was from the Great Snow Mountain … Blue Ocean's request to 'not let the natives of the prairie pass Mount Kilimanjaro' probably had some other meaning behind it …
Although Du Wei thought this in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. Carefully listening to Prince Son's story … …

In a pack of wolves, the leader of the pack was already a little old, but it refused to give up its position. At this time, it helplessly saw that there was already a young male wolf who was gradually becoming stronger, strong enough to threaten its position.
At this time, what will Father do?
He put his sights on me.
I'm young, only ten years old! And I'm praised as a talented and intelligent little prince.
If … … If I'm made the crown prince, then when I grow up … … Father can reasonably make me wait for more than ten years or even longer!
He didn't really like me that much. He didn't really think that I was smarter and more talented than the thirty-something year old First Brother.
The only reason is: If I'm made the crown prince, then he can openly sit on the throne for another ten or twenty years because the heir hasn't grown up yet!
This is Father's "love" for me, this is the "appreciation" that Father has for me!!
Haha!!

Speaking up to here, Prince Son's voice became very low. Looking up at the sky, he sighed: "Du Wei, you won't be able to understand … … That night, I finally understood the words of Scholar Blue Ocean. How did I make it through?! In my entire life, that night was the most difficult night of my life. It was the most difficult night to get through! Even the night before the coup two years ago, when I was facing a formidable enemy, was not as sad as the night when I was ten years old! "
Du Wei looked at the expression on His Highness Chen's face and suddenly felt that sitting in his position wasn't so glorious.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Wei sighed in a low voice. "Perhaps … … I can understand. Because the feeling you speak of … I have more or less experienced it before. "
Looking at Du Wei, Prince Son's eyes slowly revealed a smile: "Not bad … … You are indeed one of the few people who can understand me. Du Wei, this is why I dote on you so much! You, Du Wei, were once the heir of the Rowling family. Because you weren't favored, you were sent away to your hometown. Then because you received the guidance of a Magister, you returned to the capital … … Although your experience in the family is different from mine, your situation and feelings are quite similar. Du Wei, when I met you that time, I faintly felt that we were in the same boat. That's why I am so close to you and value you so much! "
Du Wei was silent.
He could imagine the night more than ten years ago. That ten year old little prince was sitting in his room, facing the cold night sky. He understood that his father's love for him was just an act. He even put him on the stove to roast him …
This kind of feeling is probably very similar to his own when he learned that his father sent people to kill him.
The two looked at each other and smiled. But this time, their smiles were more sincere.
Then Prince Son continued his story.

After that time, I finally figured out a lot of things. That chilling night didn't completely leave me in despair. At first, I still held some hope in my heart.
But soon, I found out that although being born in the royal family seems to be rich and honorable, but once you are involved in the interests of the emperor, then all the wealth and honor around you will immediately become murderous!
Big brother gradually distanced himself from me, but I didn't blame him. But after I figured it out, I finally understood. I can't blame him. After all, we used to be brothers. But after that, we became laughable "contenders for the throne".
And what's even more laughable is that big brother himself didn't understand that father didn't want to pass the throne to me! Because in father's eyes, I am also a contender! The only fortunate thing for me is that I am still young, so father can use me as a shield! If I was already in my twenties at that time, father would never have made me the crown prince!
Unfortunately … … Father didn't have a younger son, otherwise, I believe he would have chosen a younger son!
Big brother saw me as an enemy. But the funny thing is, I didn't want to compete with him!
That throne, in my opinion, has no attraction at all.
So, I wanted to convey a message to big brother. I hope he can rest assured that I won't compete with him.
The Augustine Dynasty was founded on martial arts, so all the children of the royal family must learn horsemanship and martial arts. But I just refused to learn. Instead, I openly expressed my interest in magic and went to learn it with great fanfare.
Because everyone knows that a magician will not be greedy for worldly power. Magicians are monsters that transcend the mortal world. Moreover, in history, other than the founding emperor Aragon, there was no other emperor who was also a magician!
After learning magic, one will gradually lose interest in worldly power.
So, I deliberately went to learn magic to let big brother understand that I don't want to compete with him.
Unfortunately, big brother didn't seem to understand my intentions.
What's even more ridiculous is that my learning of magic was seen as deviant. My court scholar teacher expressed his opposition, but my father approved of it.
This was seen by many as my father's "love" for me. Even my actions, my father "lovingly" indulged and supported me!
But is it really like this?
I have already thought it through and understood my father's intentions. He was happy for me to learn magic, hoping that after I learned magic, I wouldn't be interested in power. In this way, even if he made me the crown prince, I wouldn't be in a hurry to inherit the throne and he could be the emperor for a few more years!
Unfortunately, my concession didn't make big brother let me go.
When I was eleven years old, I encountered the first assassination attempt in my life!
That time, I almost died! A maid who took care of me since I was five years old personally brought me a bowl of poison and almost poisoned me to death!
Fortunately, at that time, I had already learned magic and dabbled in magic potions … …
Humph! Wanting to poison a potion master to death isn't that easy!
I knew that father wouldn't want to kill me! He even wanted to use me as a shield! Therefore, there was only one person who wanted me dead … … My big brother!
That incident completely shattered my last shred of hope! I had read history and knew what was written in the books: In the face of the struggle for the throne, there was no such thing as familial love!
At that time, I understood that blindly giving in wouldn't guarantee my safety! Today, he could bribe my maid to poison me. Tomorrow, he might be able to bribe my guards to stab me while I was sleeping!
I didn't want to die, I wanted to survive. Thus, I had no choice but to walk on the path of becoming an enemy of big brother!
The beginning was the hardest.
I was just a child, I didn't have a group of people I could trust, I didn't have my own power, I was just an empty shell of a prince. I only had a flashy noble status, I didn't have much ability to protect myself.
At the beginning, I could only do my best to curry favor with the court magicians. I took the court magician as my teacher and for a period of time, I studied magic with all my might. I tried my best to act as if I was obsessed with studying magic. I even ate and lived by my teacher's side every day … …
Teacher was very happy with my diligence … … He even thought that I had an extremely rare talent for magic and even treated me as his proud disciple.
Actually, I was only using this as an excuse to stay by his side to ensure my own safety! At that time, I didn't have any other choice. In the palace, staying by the court magician's side was the safest!
Because the court magician was only loyal to the emperor, he wasn't a member of any faction. With his powerful magic, he had enough ability to protect me.
During that period of time, I was very pitiful and in a very difficult situation! But it made my heart even more determined!
Although I didn't have much desire for the throne, in order to survive, I had to have power!
Fortunately, after a few days, I cleverly used an opportunity to secretly pass the news of that maid trying to poison me to my father's ears.
My father was finally reminded of this matter. He pretended to fly into a rage and executed several of the court's attendants.
Then, he began to face a problem: In order to ensure that I, as a shield for the throne, wouldn't die so easily, he had to give me some means to protect myself.
This is my biggest bargaining chip, and also my biggest reliance, which is my Imperial Father! He wouldn't let me die! It wasn't because I was his son, nor was it because he loved me that much!
From that time on, my father finally began to give me some real power. He gave me a small group of the Imperial Guard and a few court magicians to act as my personal magic consultant. He also gave me the right to freely enter and leave the palace, allowing me to leisurely arrange my own forces. In this way, I finally began to grasp a little bit of my own capital!
Bit by bit, I accumulated my own capital and formed my own team. Later on, I tried my best to rope in big shots like Count Biliaibuer and the magical beasts of Mount Delan … …
The battle between Eldest Brother and I, which has lasted for more than ten years, has finally begun!
•
"I don't want to be the emperor, I never wanted to." Prince Son gently sighed: "It's just that in order to protect myself, I had no choice but to oppose my brother. I didn't do it for the throne … … I did it for my life! Because I knew that if my heart softened even a little bit, my brother would definitely not hesitate to take my life!
And since things had started, I had no choice but to take it one step at a time! In the end, even if I didn't want to hurt my brother, I had no other choice! That's because I know my brother too well. His temperament was naturally somewhat extreme, and under the suppression of my father for decades, his character gradually became gloomy and ruthless.
Originally, I thought that as long as I had the strength to protect myself, it would be enough. But later on, I understood one thing: Even if I only blindly protect myself, it would be useless! Because my brother already regarded me as his mortal enemy! In his heart, his biggest goal was to eliminate me! Poor brother, even until his death, he didn't understand that it wasn't me who was fighting with him for the throne, but my father who was deliberately using me to block his path. He never truly understood that his true competitor was not me, Chen, but our beloved imperial father.
And this is precisely my biggest advantage. Because I know very well where my father's bottom line is. No matter what, my father will not let me die. In the face of danger, my father will protect me! That's my biggest guarantee!
Unfortunately, there is no turning back for me. Because with my understanding of him, even if I blindly endure. If he becomes the emperor in the future, I'm afraid he won't tolerate me! I know my brother too well!
Therefore, the goal of my confrontation with him also changed. Originally, I only wanted to protect myself. But later on, I understood that protecting myself is not enough. Only by completely eliminating his position as the emperor can I continue to live in the future! Therefore, our battle naturally became more and more intense until it finally reached the point of life and death. "
Du Wei sighed in his heart.
He could imagine how a ten-year-old boy in the Imperial Palace, where danger lurked on every side, had walked step by step like he was walking on a tightrope over a cliff all these years! Prince Son is certainly full of schemes and clever in his means of doing things. In fact, some of his schemes are even more sinister. But imagine a ten-year-old child, if he wants to survive, how can he protect himself without using some excessive means?
A ten-year-old child lost his innocence and had no choice but to fall into the dirtiest quagmire in the world. This is what created the seemingly glorious Prince Regent today!
Saying that he killed his brother and bullied his father … … But how could the person who said these words understand his difficulties?
"I have long been aware of my brother's plans for a coup. But I clearly could have stopped it in advance, but I didn't. Because this is my biggest chance to take him down in one step! Only when he is completely defeated can I survive and win the final victory in this battle. I am not greedy for the throne, but purely to fight for my most basic right: survival! Survival! In order to survive, I had to make all kinds of arrangements before the coup. In order to gain the support of the Shrines, I and the Pope secretly taught each other. The conditions I put forward were enough to tempt the Shrines. Because of this condition, the Shrines and the royal family have been secretly fighting for thousands of years to achieve victory! Therefore, even though my brother's daughter is the Shrines, the Shrines still secretly sided with me. On that day, I gave my brother a fierce blow! "
Speaking up to here, Prince Son's face gradually revealed a complex smile: "The Pope must be very proud because now everyone thinks that I am the Prince Regent and will be the emperor in the future! If the emperor can recognize the Pope as his godfather, it would symbolize the royal family bowing down to the divine power! However, he was wrong! Everyone thinks I like the throne, but the truth is, the throne is not that heavy for me! "
Then, Prince Son winked at Du Wei: "The Pope schemed against me, but do you think I won't scheme against him? Humph! Unfortunately, he won't be able to harvest an 'emperor's godchild'! He can only harvest a 'regent's godchild'! Because before I made the deal with him, I had already made my decision! In my entire life, I will never ascend to the throne! The title of emperor, I will leave it to my children! For my entire life, I will just be a regent. "
