Andrea didn't expect that her father would actually trade his life for the future of these children, and trade his soul for the gods' attention and recognition of their children.
Andrea didn't speak. She suppressed the grief in her heart, saluted her father, turned around, and left the palace resolutely.
"Get out, Andrea! I don't want you to see my father die."
Hearing Andrea's voice, the old man on the hospital bed trembled. Then he tried his best to move his head and looked at Andrea at the end of the bed. A hint of disbelief flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Andrea was silent for a moment, and then she grabbed his hand and said in a low tone: "... This is not my ambition, Father! The whole Subilon is just my springboard and my sacrifice."
Andrea didn't make a sound. She took a deep breath, resisted the rejection and the grief in her heart, walked to the bedside, and handed the glass of wine to her father.
After speaking, the emperor used his last strength to pour the wine in the cup into his belly.
Yes, her father was really stupid. He rejected and rebelled against the gods. In this era when the gods held the throne high, it was undoubtedly an extremely stupid act. If her father could adapt to the times and believe in the gods, he would He will not end up like this, and he can even continue to sit on his throne now. As long as he is still the king, neither Aldrich, Amos nor Andrea will dare to have any thoughts about the throne. think.
"Well, since you are here, it means you are the winner, Andrea, go and pour me a drink."
"Father, you used to be a high-spirited person and have always been a role model for me. I loved you and longed for your attention. But now that I see your miserable appearance, I feel a little sad... which makes me even more convinced. The only thing is that kingship has no eternity, only the true God can be immortal."
Andrea hesitated for a moment. Although she wanted to say that her father was not wrong, she still nodded in the end.
"Your Majesty, this is a healthy baby girl."
There is not a single servant in the palace of the Kingdom of Subilon, which brings a sense of loneliness and desolation to this luxurious hall.
There was a thin old man lying inside the heavy gauze curtain. After hearing the footsteps, he asked in a weak voice.
The emperor of the Subilon Empire widened his cloudy eyes and stared at Andrea. After a long time, he exhaled and said: "... It's okay, it's okay... No matter which of you three brothers and sisters wins, it's all The person who is qualified to inherit the kingdom, Andrea, you can win the throne with the most unlikely person, and the kingdom will not fall in your hands."
The emperor of Subilon showed a look of understanding.
"It is indeed that god."
In the thirty-fourth year of the Dragon God Era, the first heir to the Kingdom of Subilon, the first princess Aurora Abel Subilon, was born.
Andrea knew that her father had long been determined to die, so he set up this trap. No matter whether Aldrich or Amos won, his father would commit suicide and then impose the crime on the loser. In this way, the winner can sit on the throne legitimately, and he must even have made a will.
"Hehehe... You are really ambitious, Andrea."
…
"I also know that I am stupid... giving up glory, wealth, power, life and soul, just for the so-called honor... "
"...Thousands of years of time, thousands of years of Subilon's glory, are extinct in my hands, extinct."
The emperor of Subilon gasped violently, he uttered a few words, and let out a hoarse laugh, "... Very good, well done, Andrea! Even I looked away, and I didn't expect that I The only daughter, the innocent and innocent daughter like an angel, turned out to be an ambitious usurper."
"Give it to me!"
Andrea hugged her daughter tightly and spoke softly in a mother's gentle voice.
The midwife carefully handed the girl in her arms to Andrea, who was sweating profusely and looking extremely pale. The midwife and the busy maids around her looked horrified, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. He said that because the newly born child actually had dragon wings on her back and dragon horns on her head, she was filled with panic and dragon power. Even when she was just born, her dragon power made these ordinary people tremble!
"Andrea, tell me, like your royal brothers, there are gods helping you, right?"
She suddenly felt sad, nodded slightly and said, "...under the Temple of the Dragon."
The baby's loud cries echoed throughout the Subilon Palace.
"The two princes Aldrich and Amos were so rebellious that they poisoned their father. The grieving Princess Andrea of Subilon avenged her father and killed the two sinners. Remember, my daughter Andrea, that’s the truth!”
Andrea's arms trembled when she heard the emperor's words, but she still silently walked to the table nearby and poured clear wine from a golden spout.
"They are already dead, Father!"
"Wow… "
"Aurora...Aurora Abel Subiron, that's her name!"
In the thirty-third year of the Dragon God Era, the Emperor of Subilon was poisoned and died. The murderers were the first prince Aldrich and the second prince Amos. The grief-stricken first princess Andrea obtained the Dragon God Church. Help, kill the two sinner princes, and become Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Subilon!
But now after discovering that the winner turned out to be Andrea, he still chose to do this so that Andrea could obtain the royal power at the minimum cost.
The old king gently patted the back of his daughter's hand, and said sadly: "... Do you think my father is stupid, and that he is seeking death by rejecting the gods?"
These servants who served the queen never expected that the queen they loved with all their hearts would give birth to a half-human, half-dragon monster!
Princess Andrea stepped into the palace, and the crisp sound of her footsteps could be heard in the main hall. As the door closed, the sound of fighting in the square outside the palace gradually became quieter.
"...So, I used my life as a bargaining chip. I resisted the gods and prevented the churches of the gods from entering Subiron. I made the gods angry with me, but I know that whether it is your two royal brothers or you, No matter who you become the next king, you will change your national policy and let the church of the gods carry out missionary work, and because of my resistance, your obedience will be pleased by the gods and will make the gods pay more attention to you."
Andrea sat elegantly on the edge of the bed, picked up the towel on the table next to her and wiped the sweat from her father's forehead.
"... Where are your two royal brothers?"
Andrea no longer had the innocence and flawlessness she had in the past in front of others, nor the indifference she had in the square before. In front of her father, she seemed to have become the little girl she once was, with a somewhat dazed look on her face. , his complexion is even more complicated.
Andrea didn't speak, she just quietly walked to the gauze curtain and opened it, and stood in front of the couch with her graceful and beautiful figure.
The old emperor looked at Andrea like a loving father.
The emperor smiled self-deprecatingly and said in a sad tone: "...Although I know this is force majeure, but ah, the Subilon Empire that once ruled the entire western continent fell apart in my hands, and the entire Subilon royal family only remained After arriving in Kinki, how could I have the face to meet the late emperors of the Subilon Empire?"
"It turned out to be Andrea... It turned out to be you..."
His Majesty the Emperor of Subilon stretched out his old hand with great effort.
This is Andrea's father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Subilon Empire.
She knew that this glass of wine was poisonous wine.
The old emperor burst into tears and cried out in pain. He held Andrea's hand harder and harder, "... I have to do something, Andrea! I have to do something, but in all I can do nothing before God.”
"Ahem... Ahem... Is it Aldrich or Amos?"
She looked at the old man lying on this luxurious bed with complicated eyes. He was already haggard, terminally ill, and could die at any time.
