GOR Chapter 653 Last Words (Part 2) – A Man's Promise
Someone who does not belong to this world?
Those words shocked Du Wei – this was practically touching upon Du Wei's deepest secret! In this world, even the people closest to him, Vivian and Qiao Qiao, did not know about this secret!
But at this moment, in front of this person who seemed to be both an enemy and a friend, he seemed to be able to point it out so easily …
"… Aren't you surprised?
Du Wei, I have been thinking about this question for a long time now. "Since the day you emerged, you have been known as the Young Master Idiot, the Count's idiot son. "However, later on, you created a series of things: the football game you created in the Rollin Plains, the airship, the fireworks known as' Goddess's Forgiveness', the Spirit of Magic Sharing, the Magic Society, the Imperial Military Academy and the auction house you created in the Imperial Capital … all of these are new things that this world has never seen before.
"Sometimes, I am really jealous of you.
"Since I was young, I have always considered myself to be very smart. "However, before you, I feel as though I have no advantage at all. "Sometimes, I even wonder, if I were you, born into a Rowling family, would I be able to create such a miracle like you?
"Fine, you bastard. Since I am already dead, I will let you be proud this once – that is right, I, Chen Augustine, admit that I am not as good as you.
"You are truly a fellow that I cannot see through. "Do you know? "Many times, I have felt that someone like you is very dangerous." If … if I were a ruthless Emperor, I would have killed you off long ago. "Ha ha! "Are you surprised to hear those words?
"I admit, I have indeed wanted to kill you – occasionally.
"A few days ago, during the game between the two of us, I was shaken. "I believe you have already guessed that I am suffering from a terminal illness. "You will feign ignorance and I will feign ignorance. "However, only you have the qualifications to play this game with me.
"I was once worried that after I die, I would leave you behind. My son would not have the ability to control you.
"However, after considering it over and over again, I chose to believe you.
"Do you know why? I'm sure you want to know.
At that time, you deliberately stayed in the Imperial Capital and put yourself under my blade. You were also waiting to see my reaction. Hmph, are you always so confident? At that time, I really wanted to ask you in front of your face: Are you so confident that I won't touch you?
However, I still lost to you in the end. You won the bet. I believe you.
Do you want to know why? Let me tell you, there are two reasons.
You will never be able to guess the first reason even if you die. Do you still remember your first teacher? When you were young, your father found you an astrologer by the name of Rossiat.
That old man taught you for more than a year, but you scared him away in the end. I'm afraid you don't even remember the old man you scared away back then, right?
However, after we got to know each other, I secretly sent someone to look for him. From him, I learned a lot about you.
Do you know why that old man was scared away by you?
It's all because of what you said: 'The excessive concentration of imperial power is the root of corruption.'
Sigh, what a pity. Although your father, Earl Raymond, was smart, he was muddle-headed at that time. Actually, how are you an idiot? You are a genius that even I am inferior to.
Don't blame that old man. When I sent someone to ask him, he didn't dare to not answer.
I always thought to myself, a person who can say such disgraceful words, what is in his heart?
Fortunately, it was this that made me feel completely at ease about you. Because from your words, I can see that you don't have a good impression of the Emperor. You don't even like imperial power. If I asked you to be the Emperor, you would most likely refuse. Therefore, I am relieved.
You don't have any ambition for the Emperor's position. Then, I don't have to doubt you.
You see, it's that simple. Perhaps even you often wonder why I trust you so much.
Du Wei, actually … … When I became the Regent, I had a long-term plan. You and I are about the same age. We are still young. This Empire, this continent, there are many, many things waiting for us to do! I even thought that if you and I cooperate and trust each other, then I have the confidence that in my lifetime, I can bring this Empire back to its former glory!
In fact, I once dreamed of becoming a king that was even greater than the founding emperor, Aragon! I believe that with my intelligence and your help. Shrines, Magician's Guild. That old man Pope, that old man, the chairman of the Magician's Guild, we can have a good fight with them!
As long as we spend a few decades, I have the confidence that we will be able to sweep away all these obstacles! The two of us will join hands and create an unprecedented great Empire! We will create a great undertaking that no one has ever done before!
A few hundred years ago, it was your Rowling family's ancestors who assisted my ancestors and created the Augustine Dynasty.
Then today, a few hundred years later, I once believed that with the two of us working together, we can do a hundred times better than our ancestors!
I even dreamed of planting the Thorned Flower flag on the snowy mountains of the Northwest Prairie in my lifetime! I want to let the Empire's fleet roam the Southeast Ocean. I want to conquer all the land here. I want to turn the Southeast Ocean into a province of the Empire and set up a governor there. I want to reduce the power of the gods and make those gods obediently pray. I want to break the monopoly of the Magician's Guild and let the glory of magic shine on the Empire's path forward … …
I still have many dreams that have yet to be realized!
Unfortunately … … the Heavens won't give me time.
I hate! I really hate!!
Why can't I have more time! Why!!
Thirty years … … No, twenty years! Even if it's only ten years!! "
At this point, the handwriting on the letter began to become messy. It's clear that Prince Son's mood became agitated at the time he wrote this letter. And on this part of the letter, there were spots of red blood stains on it.
I'm afraid that when he wrote this, he was so agitated and angry that he spat out blood again.
The later part of the letter became even more messy. It was clear that Prince Son's stamina was running out.
"… … Unfortunately, I understand that these dreams can no longer be realized.
I have a son, but I deeply understand that he will never be able to inherit my dreams. He can inherit the imperial power, but these dreams cannot be realized nor learned. Karina is my favorite child, but unfortunately, she is a girl.
Hah, writing up to this point, I suddenly remembered the words you said to me when we were chatting: Heroes are short of breath.
Heroes are really short of breath.
Forget it, I still remember the words you said to me when you were drunk: After I die, I don't care what happens!
Haha, you really are arrogant to the point of making me admire you.
I really want to be as free and easy as you. Unfortunately, I am the Emperor!
Before I died, I also wanted to drag you along with me! Humph, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Don't deny it, and don't think I don't know that you also wanted to kill me, right?
Haha!
On the day of the coup, on top of the city wall, you also wanted to kill me. But you didn't do it later.
Hmm, if we look at it this way, we are even.
Old friend, that's right, you are my friend. Don't hate me. Everything I did before I died was for my descendants, for my empire. I think you can understand me.
So, there are some things that I have wronged you.
Don't put the division I left in the Nuling Province in your heart. Others may not know, but I think you will understand my intentions. Nominally, that division was sent to supervise you. But in fact, I did it on purpose to reassure the officials of the empire.
But you should understand, how can a mere division resist your Tulip Family's private army? If I really want to let you go, then it won't be just a division. I will transfer half of the Wang Cheng Guards.
It's just for show. You know, I know, we have a tacit understanding.
These days, I secretly stole the general history of the continent that you gave to Karina and read it. Looking at the notes you left behind, I can't see through you anymore.
Sigh, I even think, if … … I knew you a few years earlier, how good would that be? If I knew you a few years earlier, with the help of a mysterious person like you, I wouldn't have to hide my strength and bide my time, waiting for that coup. With your help, I would probably be able to topple the Crown Prince a few years earlier. Wouldn't I have a few more years to gain power?
However, it is impossible to turn back time.
Sigh, I went too far again.
There seems to be a lot of things I want to tell you. Unfortunately, I am very tired and can't write anymore.
Well, let's continue. Before I died, I chose to believe you and did not touch you. The first reason is that I learned about your childhood from your teacher, Rossiat. I believed that you had no ambition for imperial power.
As for the second reason … … he he, don't bother guessing. If you can't guess the first reason, you will never be able to guess the second one.
As for the second reason … … do you still remember the day of the coup? When I announced you as the Grand Duke of the Tulip Family, I said something else?
You have probably forgotten, but I remember every single word!
Back then, I said: As long as I am alive, I will never let you down!
Yes, Du Wei, as long as I am alive, I will never let you down!
Thus, if any other Emperor in history were to meet a powerful minister like you, they would do everything in their power to get rid of you. However, I will not!
Because I will never let you down!
Are you surprised? Are you moved?
Humph, everyone thinks that I, Chen, am a rational and ruthless person. I killed my brother and put my father under house arrest. Everyone thinks that I am a ruthless person for the sake of power.
However, this time, I will not!
Can't I let my emotions get the better of me? Hahahahaha, before I die, I'm going to let my emotions get the better of me! Let's bet on Du Wei's heart!
The human heart is the most unreliable thing, but I will bet on your heart, Du Wei!
You must be very touched right now.
Duwei, my promise to you, I will not let you down. I did it!
By the time you read this, I'll be dead. I leave the throne to my son, and the court magician to my daughter. As for you, I don't have any gifts for you, but I can only leave you with a request. It can be considered a request from a dead old friend.
Du-Wei, my Empire, please help me protect it, okay? 'Please!'
… "
That was the end of the letter. The last sentence was blurred. Clearly, by the time Shen reached that part of the letter, he had exhausted himself to the point where he could no longer hold onto the brush.
Du Wei held the letter in his hand. At that moment, his eyes were brimming with tears. However, he did not raise his hand to wipe them away. Instead, he allowed the tears to flow. Instead, he looked at the crystal coffin and whispered, "You bastard! If you want to die, so be it. Why did you have to make me cry so much? "
After saying that, he raised his hand and flicked it gently. Flames burst out from his fingertips and the letter in his hand burst into flames. Moments later, the letter was reduced to ashes.
As the ashes scattered, Du Wei, who was standing before the coffin, nodded at the person inside. Then, with an incomparably solemn voice, he spoke slowly, one word at a time.
"Don't worry, my friend. I will definitely protect your empire for you! "
…
… …
Du Wei walked out of the mourning hall. The moment he stepped outside, he saw a small figure running toward him from afar.
Princess Karina's hair was in a mess and her clothes were in a mess. She had even lost one of her shoes as she ran over from afar. The palace maid, Lanlan, followed behind her, calling out to her repeatedly. However, Karina ignored her. She rushed straight toward Du Wei and threw herself into Du Wei's embrace. She cried out, "Teacher!"
Du Wei sighed. He carried the little princess and crouched down to look into her eyes.
"Teacher, you are back." The little princess pursed her lips to the side and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Mm, I am back." Du Wei gave a faint smile. He retrieved a handkerchief from his bosom and helped her wipe away the tears on her face. Seeing the tears at the corners of Du Wei's eyes, Karina was surprised. She asked, "Teacher, you … … you are also crying?"
Du Wei shook his head. He did not wipe away his tears. Instead, he suddenly smiled. Although his smile was faint, there was a trace of determination within it.
"You don't understand. These are not tears, they are … … a man's promise! "
After calming himself down, he raised his head to look at the mourning hall not far away.
Don't worry, Chen, I will protect your empire!
