Chapter 141 Paul II and Paul III

With that said, Dean understood.

If it is because of this, it is understandable that the price is so high.

This is one of the drawbacks of heritage breeding houses.

When you inherit assets and knowledge, you must inherit those obsessions and expectations accordingly.

These have been firmly tied to the breeding house over the long years.

Even if they are blood relatives, they cannot bypass their responsibilities and only enjoy the benefits.

Speaking without prejudice, Dean felt that most of the people of the previous generation who still insisted on taking the selective breeding path had their own obsessions and were extremely stubborn.

He was lucky. The old Hute he met was already past the age of being a stone in a latrine and having a bad temper.

If he had come two years earlier, he might not be as relaxed as he is now.

There are some historical issues here, which can be traced back to the time when the previous emperor Paul II was still in office.

This John Paul II can be said to be the most mysterious man in the history of the empire.

Although he was not a powerful professional and his body constitution was unable to take life-extending potions, he became emperor at the age of eighteen and remained in this position until he was one hundred and fifty years old, even living past the limit of his lifespan.

It once became one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of the empire.

It was also because of his existence that by the time Paul III, the current emperor, succeeded to the throne five years ago, he was already eighty-five years old.

Although he did not inherit his father's physique that prevented him from taking life-extending drugs, even if he took the highest-grade life-extending drugs, his upper limit of lifespan should be around 130 years old.

In other words, he spent nearly two-thirds of his life in the position of crown prince.

I wonder what kind of feelings this "old prince" would have towards his father.

Of course, Dean felt that things here were far from simple as they seemed.

Because using elementary school mathematics, Paul II died at the age of 150, and Paul III succeeded to the throne at the age of 85, which is equivalent to having him at the age of 65.

You will get stronger when you are old.

While it is surprising, there is also a hint of doubt.

John Paul II, why did he wait until he was over sixty years old before leaving an heir?

Could it be that at that time, he knew that he would live to be 150 years old, so he deliberately delayed having a child in order to avoid giving birth to a man with gray hair and a man with black hair?

No matter how weird you think.

If there were no problems in it, Dean would feel sorry for watching those palace intrigue dramas.

However, this obviously belongs to the category of royal secrets. He is suspicious and has no way to find out.

The only thing known to the public about the relationship between father and son is that they have a bad relationship.

It’s not that Paul III complained every day that my father and I didn’t have a good relationship. His dislike of John Paul II was expressed without words, but was reflected in all aspects.

For example, in terms of policy.

As long as Paul II admired and strongly supported some policies and activities, Paul III was very repulsive.

One or two things were nothing, but when all the things developed by Paul II were denied by Paul III, everyone became aware of the problem.

This time, it was like dropping a bomb into a bottomless pool, and many nobles with interests were blown out.

They immediately united to demonstrate against the new emperor, who had been suppressed by Paul II in the past and seemed extremely mediocre. As a result, in less than a year, his family experienced a major reshuffle of power.

In this way, Paul III showed his fangs to everyone in the empire.

And selective breeding is one of those industries that he suppressed, one that doesn't seem to be very conspicuous.

Speaking of which, Dean felt that his generation, including those of the older generation of breeders, were quite miserable.

When John Paul II was here, he actually didn't show any importance to them. At most, he only said a few words of encouragement and expressed in public that he was optimistic about the future of breeders.

And he had said this kind of compliment hundreds of times to other people.

In addition to the vain praise, the real benefits that come into the hands of the breeders are a few insignificant assistance measures and a blind eye to the acquiescence of their business.

Even though they didn't get much benefit, they ended up being suppressed indiscriminately by Paul III.

Even Dean's previous forced eviction was actually the result of Paul III turning a blind eye when his father was in power.
