"Carrie, you're here."
A gentle voice sounded from the side.
Kaili looked up, and in front of him, the King of Knights was looking up at him.
More than ten years have passed, and the King of Knights is now in his early fifties, just like Carey.
Fifty years of age, this is considered old age for ordinary people, if it is an ordinary civilian, it is estimated that they are very old at this moment, and they have become an old man.
But the King of Knights still looks very young now.
He has a handsome appearance and delicate skin. He doesn't look like an old man at all, but like a young man.
You can't find any trace of stagnation on his body, but he is full of a heroic temperament, extraordinarily strong, and there is a kind of courage in the invisible, which makes people awe-inspiring.
Such a king of knights, compared with the old man beside him, who looked like an ordinary old man, was like two generations.
But who would have thought
The actual age of the King of Knights is how many years older than that of Princess Venal.
The reason why there is such a gap and performance, on the one hand, is that the illness is too tortured, and on the other hand, it is also the reason of the King of Knights himself.
Today's King of Knights is already a real great knight.
For the great knight, the current age of the Knight King is not considered old, he is still in his prime.
In ordinary times, he looked vigorous and vigorous, without showing the slightest aging.
However, at this moment, the King of Knights has a deep exhaustion on his face, which makes people feel a little heartbroken when they see it.
Seeing his friend like this, Kaili opened his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
He didn't need to ask the people around too much, just looking at the appearance of the Knight King, he knew the hard work of the Knight King in the past few years.
While the King of Knights is working hard to heal Princess Venal and maintain her life, he must not forget to deal with many domestic affairs at the same time.
For the King of Knights, this is a day-to-day routine, except for a few times, there is no day when he will relax.
For this day, Carey is extremely admired, but he can't learn it.
To do all this requires not only a firm and dedicated heart, but other things are also essential.
If you don't have strong self-control, how can you do this
Therefore, he could only sigh and express his admiration for it.
"Kelin, take a break."
Looking at his friend, he said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, she is hopeless."
"You and I both know that you can't save him."
He looked at the Knight King in front of him, and said seriously: "You can't go on like this."
"This country cannot live without you. You use your own life energy to maintain the life of Her Royal Highness, and what you sacrifice is only your own lifespan."
The consumption of life energy is by no means unlimited.
The life energy of the knight is a kind of power squeezed from all parts of the body.
Normally, even a knight who has awakened the seed of life will still cause damage to himself if he uses life energy for a long time.
Many knights are obviously much stronger than mortals, but they may not even be as good as mortals, because of this.
Although the great knight is much stronger than the knight, the essence of life energy will not change.
The life energy consumed by the Knight King at this moment is essentially his own life.
Does it make sense to sacrifice one's own life to save someone who has no chance of being saved
Even for ordinary people, this is a question worth measuring.
Not to mention that it was a supreme king who made this choice.
"Kelin, with all due respect"
Carey couldn't help but said, "I'm getting old, even if you blame me, I'm not afraid of anything. I'll say what others dare not say now."
"Consume one's own life to save Princess Weiner, not to mention that it is impossible to succeed at all, even if it succeeds, what's the point?"
"Is it worth it to exchange the life of a knight king for the life of a dying old man?"
He pointed at the sleeping Vinaur, and said with a bit of pain: "It would be a good ending for Vinaur to end the curtain here and die here."
yes.
Now, what role does Vinal have
If the Kutu Kingdom was still there, Vinal, as the last direct descendant of the Kutu royal family, might still have the effect of stabilizing people's hearts.
But now, the Naduo Kingdom has been established for many years, and the status and rule of the Knight King have long been stable.
In this case, what role can Vinal have
The last bit of value in her body has already been completely squeezed out. Now what is the use of this mere old body
"Kelin, that's a bad word."
Carey took a deep breath, and then said bluntly: "Even if the current Princess Weiner dies here, it will not have any impact."
"Princess Vinal has enjoyed enough things in her life, and she is lucky enough."
"Keeping her alive may be more torture than help."
"Kelin, you should keep looking forward."
He said with a serious face: "Kelin, you are still young, you are a great knight, and you are different from us."
"I have persuaded you a long time ago to marry as many wives as possible. It is too unsafe to only have Prince Cudo and the others."
"What will happen to the Kingdom of Nanado if the illness that happened to Princess Vinael and the others breaks out again and appears on Prince Cudo and the others? Have you thought about these issues?"
He said seriously.
As early as when the King of Knights had just become king, someone had persuaded the King of Knights, hoping to let him replace Princess Venal, or even if Princess Venal was not replaced, there should be more women and more children. children.
Only in this way can insurance be guaranteed.
Because the Kutu royal family has a serious genetic disease in their bodies.
Not only Wei Naer herself, but her sister and father are also like this. After reaching a certain age, they will get sick and fall into a coma directly, unable to manage affairs.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the Kutu Kingdom was in such chaos at the beginning had a huge connection with the blood disease of the Kutu royal family.
The lessons of the past are at hand.
Therefore, including Carey and others, they are very worried that the tragedy of the Kutu royal family will happen again.
After all, all the children of the Knight King at this moment were born of the Knight King and Vinal, and they also inherited the blood of the Kutu royal family.
There is a high probability that they will inherit that terrible disease in the future.
In this regard, Carey and Kurdeau have persuaded the King of Knights more than once.
It's not that they don't understand the relationship between the King of Knights and Princess Vinal, and they don't mean to divorce, but they have to persuade them.
Different from the decadent Kutu Kingdom in the past, the Naduo Kingdom in front of them was built by their joint efforts and struggles with the King of Knights.
This country was built by them, and they also have their share.
They absolutely don't allow anyone to destroy the results of their life's struggle, so they can't tolerate any hidden dangers.
And at this moment, the blood on Vinal's body is a huge hidden danger in their eyes.
In the past, these persuasions were suppressed by the King of Knights.
But now, with Princess Weiner's illness, similar remarks are everywhere, and it can no longer be suppressed.
After finishing speaking, even with Carey's experience, he couldn't help being a little nervous at the moment.
Because what he just said was too dangerous, and he was suspected of alienating the royal family.
Even if it is the King of Knights in front of him, there is a high possibility that he will be angry because of this, right
"Take it easy, Carey."
Seeming to see the tension in Kaili's heart, the King of Knights smiled, and then said softly, "I know, I know everything."
"I naturally understand what you are worried about."
"Just, so what?"
He shook his head, and then muttered to himself: "If a person wants to accomplish a great thing, he must be single-minded and do his best to make it possible. But if he wants to destroy a thing, he can find out thousands of things for himself. A hundred valid reasons."
"I know the reasons you said, and I know everything."
"I know that these reasons are legitimate, reasonable, and should be done."
"only."
Speaking of this, the King of Knights suddenly paused, and then said with a smile: "I once heard an allusion."
"There are many existences in this world that have existed since ancient times, and there are many things that have always happened on this land. It seems that things have never been like this. For example, the common people in this world will always bow down to the nobles. Man is always low, everything has always been that way, and it seems to go on forever."
"It's just that it has always been like this, is it right?"
The King of Knights turned around and asked Carey, "Isn't that right?"
"If the rules handed down in the past are established and correct, then why are we standing here, and where did this huge Naduo Kingdom come from?"
"Obviously, it has always been the case, and there is no legitimate reason for that."
"And now, I want to continue asking"
The Knight King's voice was hoarse, and he said softly: "There is one thing, he has thousands of legitimate reasons, and countless people can explain it and interpret a thousand legitimate reasons why it must be so."
"But even if there are so many legitimate reasons and so many benefits for that thing, should it be done?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
Carey was silent for a moment, then raised his head and spoke out.
"I have no idea."
Unexpectedly, facing Kaili's voice, the King of Knights shook his head: "But what I understand is that as a husband, as a father, I shouldn't do this."
"From a practical point of view, I shouldn't save Vinal, because it is almost impossible to save her"
"From the perspective of interests, I shouldn't save Wei Naer, because she has already lost its use value and is not worthy of a king sacrificing his life"
"Considering the overall situation, I shouldn't save Vinal, and I should marry a few more wives according to your suggestions, so as to avoid hidden dangers in the future Naduo Kingdom."
"But even so, even if there are so many and rich reasons, can some things not be done?"
The King of Knights raised his head and asked suddenly: "As a husband, do I want to marry another wife before she dies, and tear up the original oath with my own hands?"
"As a relative, do I want to push my relative into the abyss with my own hands when there is still hope of survival, just for myself?"
"As a father, do I want to betray my child's trust, choose another successor when he is still so qualified and so hardworking, smash all his past efforts, just for the so-called overall situation?"
"If so, please forgive me for not being able to do it."
Standing where he was, the handsome face of the King of Knights was full of exhaustion, but it also carried a kind of persistence that made anyone stunned.
"Venal is still asleep"
He looked at Weiner at the side: "The disease is indeed terrible, but Weiner herself has not given up hope and is still fighting, how can I let her down?"
"I am a king, I am a knight, I am your friend, but I am also a husband and a father."
"Weinaer hasn't given up on the hope of life yet, how can I give up on her behalf?"
As the sun set, it fell on the spacious and magnificent palace, pulling the strong body of the Knight King out of a long shadow.
Kaili stood where he was, quietly listening to the obviously weak, but still powerful, firm voice of the King of Knights, and couldn't help being dazed at the moment.
Then, he suddenly smiled wryly.
The king is still the same king as before, and the knight is still the same knight as before.
As a knight, the King of Knights has never given up his goals and principles, nor has he given up his firm will and belief.
But he began to change, became afraid.
If he was in the past, he probably wouldn't have had this persuasion.
No, maybe there will be.
After all, whether in the past or now, he has never been a firm person, nor is he a person who values those things.
There has always been only one King of Knights, and it is by no means an existence that others can emulate.
After knowing the will of the Knight King, Kaili didn't say much, just sighed silently, and then stepped down.
The King of Knights stood quietly, watching his friend leave.
Neither he nor Carey realized that Wei Naer's body moved intentionally.
On the far wall, an invisible ghost stood there, staring blankly at the Knight King standing in front of him.
She wanted to do something, tell the King of Knights something, but couldn't do it at all.
Invisibly, there were tears in the corners of Weiner's eyes, but they dried quickly, and no one noticed.
The next time passed quickly.
After that meeting, Carey never persuaded the King of Knights again.
In fact, no one can persuade the King of Knights to change his mind.
Because this is the King of Knights, once a decision is made, it can never be changed.
Only a few years after that, Vinal died after all.
On the day she died, the atmosphere in the entire capital seemed to have changed.
Carey could feel that many people were secretly delighted and making various calculations in secret.
Carey knew what they were thinking.
The wife of the King of Knights has passed away. According to the convention, the king cannot live without a queen.
