GOR Chapter 642 "Compensation"
For the past few days, Karina has been staying with her brother and mother, waiting for her father's summons.
Waiting … … for the final moment!
Prince Son only has a few days left to live. This secret is only known to the few of them.
So when she suddenly received her father's summons, and it was a one-on-one meeting … …
After the court mage explained the purpose of the summons, Karina couldn't help but fall into a daze.
At this time, the one her father should be summoning the most should be … … Big brother!
Charlie was also a bit surprised, but he soon gave himself an explanation: "Father will summon me at the last moment."
With a dignified expression, Karina followed the court mage to the Regent's study room. This is the core of the entire empire's power!
When she entered the room, she saw her father sitting behind the desk. Prince Son's spirit was very good. Under the effect of the medicine, he looked like an energetic young man in his thirties.
Her father's mouth still had that trace of a smile on it – Karina loves her father's smile the most. In fact, her father and teacher both have the same habit. Most of the time, there would be this trace of an enigmatic smile hanging on their lips.
Feeling the warmth in her father's eyes, Karina became a bit nervous and worried.
"Come here." Prince Son said with a smile.
Gently summoning his daughter to his side, Prince Son wanted to hug Karina and place her on his lap like before. But then he remembered that this is going to be a serious conversation. Sighing, he pointed to a chair in front of him and gestured for Karina to sit there.
"I have something to tell you."
Prince Son's words immediately made Karina tear up.
Are these … … last words?
Then she listened to her father slowly speak in a calm tone … …
"You are very smart. Your intelligence far surpasses Charlie's. I've known this for a long time. I've always had this thought in my mind, but it's too unfair to Charlie, so I've never said it to anyone. "
Speaking up to here, Prince Son stared at Karina and slowly sighed: "Why … … Why can't you be a boy?"
His voice was filled with regret.
Karina was shocked. She could feel her father staring at her. There was something burning in his eyes. "If you were a boy, I wouldn't have to work so hard … Sigh, what a pity. You have the wisdom to inherit my career, but the heavens gave you the body of a girl. There were many times when I couldn't help but want to help you ascend to the throne! It doesn't matter even if I become the empress … However, this matter is too shocking after all, and the situation is tense right now. I can't do that. "
"Father, I, I, I never wanted to be an empress, and I never wanted to compete with my brother for anything," Karina said softly.
"I understand." Prince Son suddenly smiled bitterly: "You are very kind, even kinder than Charlie."
Pausing for a moment, Prince Son continued: "But I also feel very lucky because … … Fortunately, you are not a boy. Otherwise, I'm very worried that if I have two sons, I'm afraid that the struggle for power between my brother and me will repeat itself. At least, although Charlie is not as smart as you, he saved me a lot of trouble … … I don't have to make a difficult choice. "
"Father … …"
"No, listen to me." Prince Son waved his hand and looked at his youngest daughter: "In fact, it's a bit funny. You are still so young, but when I talk to you right now, I don't treat you like a child. Because I know your wisdom is enough for me to talk to you in an equal way. Karina … … "
Speaking up to here, his expression finally became serious: "After I die … … You, help Charlie a lot."
"… …"
"He's too impatient. Even I don't understand where his impatient temperament comes from. He is a bit smart, but most of it is just on the surface. Being smart can make a child appear likable, but it's not enough to govern the country. If I had any other choice, I wouldn't let him succeed. "
These words were very straightforward, but these words were usually hidden in his heart. It was absolutely impossible for him to say them out loud! Especially to his youngest daughter!
Karina's face was a bit nervous.
"Your wisdom is far better than his. And more importantly, you are his sister. I can see that this child Charlie is very strong, very proud, and somewhat lacking in magnanimity. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be suspicious if they showed too much intelligence in front of him. But you are different. You are his sister and have a deep relationship with him. Most importantly, you are a girl. No matter how well you perform next to him, you will not threaten his position. Therefore, I think that you are the most suitable person to assist him in his duties! "
"Assist, assist … … brother … …"
Karina was a bit stunned. She never thought her father would throw such a heavy burden to her!
"You are still very young now, but in a few years, you will be." Prince Son stared at his daughter: "Help Charlie well and pass down the Augustine family's legacy."
"But father … …" Karina was a bit sad: "If it is to assist brother, I think teacher may be a better candidate … …"
"Du Wei?" Prince Son shook his head: "He won't do. I know Charlie too well. He is my son and I know his character. His character is too extreme, too strong, and too proud. Although Du Wei is talented, his identity is still a minister. If he performs too well in the future, I'm afraid Charlie will be suspicious of him. And if Du Wei is to assist Charlie, there will be a huge conflict between the two in the future. And Charlie's character is too extreme. If he pushes Du Wei too hard, I'm afraid … … "
"I need you to be by Charlie's side and remind him from time to time. When he takes a detour, give him some pointers. When he makes a mistake, give him a knock. When he falls, give him a hand … … These things are not things a minister can do. But you can because you have the ability. At the same time, you are his sister. He will not be on guard against you and will not be suspicious of you. "
Prince Son was somewhat helpless.
Karina felt a bit heavy in her heart. No matter how smart she is, she is still a child.
"Father, I, I'm worried, I'm afraid I can't do it well … …"
There was some worry in Prince Son's eyes: "I'm about to die, and this is your father's last request to you. Are you still unwilling to agree?"
Karina opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came out.
Only then did Prince Son nod his head. Then, his eyes revealed a hint of unbearable guilt: "I know, for you, such a heavy responsibility is a bit too cruel and heavy. But I don't have a more suitable candidate. Originally, I had hoped for Louise … … Unfortunately, she and the Tulip Family … … "
Prince Son shook his head. Finally, he raised his hand to Karina: "Come here, my child."
Gently pulling Karina into his arms, Prince Son sniffed her hair and softly said: "I know you are afraid, but you are my child! My blood flows in your veins! You have inherited my best qualities and wisdom! You are my best bloodline! Perhaps, this is your destiny! When I was ten years old, I began to struggle with my brother. I also never enjoyed a carefree childhood. Now … … I'm afraid it's your turn to fall. "
Gently stroking Karina's hair, Prince Son continued: "In addition, I have something to tell you. I will also tell Charlie about this, but I think I should tell you first."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with guilt. "Karina, listen carefully. This is not a request from me. This is … an order!"
"Order, order … …" Karina looked up into her father's eyes and saw a trace of cruelty!
Her heart couldn't help but sink!
"Yes, an order!" Prince Son gritted his teeth: "This order, I know I've wronged you, and perhaps you will hate me. But I think with your intelligence, you should be able to understand my painstaking efforts! We are members of the Augustine Family, and we are destined to dedicate our lives to the family! Personal happiness, if necessary, must be sacrificed without hesitation! "
With that, he looked into his daughter's eyes and slowly said: "In the future, when you grow up, no matter what man you fall in love with, no matter who you marry … … I will leave behind an iron order, the man you marry … …"
Prince Son gritted his teeth:
"Can be a noble, but cannot be an official! Can be rich, but cannot be in power!!! "
Karina froze for a moment before hearing her father's emotionless voice continue: "In other words, no matter who you marry, if you marry him, he must give up all power! Be at ease as a nobleman with an empty title! Never be in power for the rest of your life! "
Looking at her father's firm eyes, Karina couldn't help but feel a little scared. Just when she wanted to ask why, her father's eyes swept over her and she suddenly understood!
Father … … is guarding against me!!
Her intelligence also made her father worry. He is worried that when she grows up in the future, she will become a threat to Charlie!!
Especially with her intelligence, if she marries into a big family in the future, then with her intelligence and the influence of her relatives … … Although she is now Charlie's little sister, once a woman grows up and marries, it is inevitable that she will side with her husband … … If … …
If her future husband can never be in power, then as an empty princess, she can only serve as Charlie's assistant, a military adviser, and a hidden aide. She will never be able to form her own power!
This is also a check and balance!
Prince Son looked at his daughter's dazed look and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Sighing: "I know, in the end, this is unfair to you. However, I will try to make it up to you. "
He looked at his daughter with eyes full of guilt: "I know you have a kind temperament, but your mind is actually very strong. Since childhood, you refused to be restrained. These … … are just things that you don't usually show. I will leave a public order to make it up to you: In this life, I will not restrict you from marrying anyone, whether it is a commoner or a noble. Your marriage, you can decide on your own. From now on, even your brother cannot interfere in your marriage. Consider this a small compensation from me to you. "
Then he looked into his daughter's eyes and his voice suddenly became weak: "You … … Will you hate me?"
Karina was a little helpless. Finally looking into her father's eyes, she slowly shook her head: "I understand, Father. As you said, I am a member of the Augustine family. "
Prince Son looked into his daughter's eyes and determined that she was telling the truth. Then he silently removed a pendant from his neck.
The pendant's shape was very strange. Prince Son tied it around his daughter's neck and said in a deep voice: "This is the 'Roland's Guardian', a treasure passed down by our royal family! It is a magic treasure. When you encounter danger, it can summon a warrior to protect you. This is refined with the blood of the legendary Holy Roland Knight! It has the power to contend against a Saint Rank! In the past, if it weren't for this thing, I would've almost been killed by Rodriguez. Now, I will pass it to you. When you are old in the future, you can pass it to the heir to the throne. Listen, this is a treasure of the royal family. You are not allowed to pass it to an outsider! "
Karina nodded.
"And … …"
Prince Son sighed: "Come in."
In the corner, a red robe appeared. It was the chief court mage. Standing in the corner, the red robed mage whispered: "Your Highness."
"After my death, the court mages will listen to Karina's orders. She will become your new leader, and your new target of loyalty. "
This really shocked Karina!!
"I can't give you too much. Consider this a little compensation."
Prince Son's eyes were somewhat dim.
