An leaned back on the sofa, tilted her head back, looked at where Miku was hiding, and closed her eyes helplessly.
Wright didn't understand what he was really asking?
How can it be!
For such a smart man, his words were straightforward enough, but he just had to throw the words "Lecco is not irreplaceable" directly in his face!
Maybe Wright would indeed be happy that the "King" had found a mate, but the reason why this guy reacted so violently was because he was trying to distract him.
He didn't dare or didn't want to answer An directly.
Once he responds, it is equivalent to going against the mainstream cognition of the empire and the world, and it is also going against the reverence in his heart that is like faith.
Reaching this level requires more than just courage, and it is destined not to be rushed.
but……
Since Wright chose not to answer rather than object, it means that he already knows the real answer.
For now, that's enough!
A smile appeared on An's face unconsciously.
An stood up straight and looked at Wright, whose eyes were still a little evasive, and Floya, who was snickering. An didn't ask any more questions.
An impulse arose in his heart, and what he blurted out shocked everyone's jaws: "The future ruler of the empire will still be Liliana. After the coming-of-age ceremony, she will be the world's first female emperor in history."
Froya was only shocked for a moment, and then slowly relaxed.
Wright's mood was even more excited than before. He could no longer maintain his disguise and was about to kneel down. An Yanji quickly threw the pillow and knocked him down on the sofa.
"you……"
An looked at Wright: "This is the best result."
"..."
Wright's face was full of grief and anger, and he looked at Ann stubbornly.
"What's the puzzle?" An smiled instead, "Relax, you know the answer."
Wright regarded this as another test and buried his head in thought. How he wished he could think longer, but he didn't spend much time.
"The reason...is on me?!" Wright felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Sooner or later, what happened to him needs to be exposed as evidence.
This will arouse the hatred of the people in the empire for the mastermind behind the scenes, and it will be a weapon to judge them, but it will also become a curse:
In the hearts of the people of the empire, the status of the king is like that of a god.
Precisely because the people of the empire regard the king as the supreme person, as time goes by, the empire becomes stronger and stronger, and the level of cognition continues to improve, in their eyes, the image of the king will also gradually beautify and become more perfect.
In the past seven years, in the minds of the people of the empire, the image of the king has reached a point where no one can match him.
If the king who returns to the throne of the country makes a mistake, although people may not say anything on the surface, they will inevitably have an idea in their hearts: How could the king make a mistake? Could it be that this king is actually pretending?
Once someone is aware of this and keeps making fuss about this, it will be a big trouble!
Wright gritted his teeth.
"I did commit a capital crime..."
Wright looked at An sadly, but saw a surprised look on his face. His emotions, which had become twisted and entangled in his thinking, suddenly came to a halt.
"What nonsense are you thinking about?" Floya rolled her eyes at Wright, "Do you think we are just freeloaders?"
When Floya was brought here, Wright knew that her identity was most likely a member of the secret force created by the Regent.
What are the responsibilities of the covert force?
intelligence……
Wright's mouth opened slightly.
There is a secret force, at least in terms of public opinion. Unless a big mistake is made, its controller will have a hard time meeting an opponent!
Wright's face felt a little hot when he realized that he had gone astray.
After calming down for a while, he looked at An doubtfully: "Then you..."
Froyatian responded:
"The king never wanted to become the leader of the country from the beginning. He entered the situation fourteen years ago. He just couldn't bear the torture of the people by the war."
After she finished speaking, she saluted An with great respect.
An didn't respond and leaned back slightly to avoid.
Wright hugged the pillow and sat there for a long time.
Of course he knew that Lecco had always been unwilling to ascend to the highest position. It would be better to say that all the people in the empire knew this clearly.
Everyone regarded Lecco's behavior as a unique act of genius, but on this occasion, Wright clearly realized that this may not be willful.
Don’t want to ascend the throne…
"That's why I didn't want to be emperor, that's why I disappeared for so long..." Wright murmured with a complicated expression.
On the one hand, as a person with very upright views, he admired a king who did not seek status and devoted himself to the people. But on the other hand, Lecco, who was a member of the royal family and did not want to be emperor, made Lecco, a subject of the empire, He had the illusion that "the king despises us"...
Wright naturally understood that it was impossible for Lecco to dislike the people of the empire, but once so many years of persistence failed, he was a little at a loss.
"Your Majesty! Do you really think so?" Wright gritted his teeth and spoke out the true name of Lecco in the minds of the people of the empire.
Ann just smiled.
"Why don't you want to be our emperor?" Wright's last question was also his last persistence.
"Have you noticed some of the policies promulgated by the Prince Regent after the Unification War?" An asked.
Wright shook his head.
That is indeed an unprecedented strategy - throwing away a lot of power, as if they don't mind sharing their own interests and don't worry about being sidelined.
It worked for all to see, and Wright admitted that it was a miracle that only that man could do, but he didn't understand what Ann was trying to say.
"Those are so that you can go on your own without the need of an emperor in the future." An's eyes were extremely soft, seeming to contain expectations.
Wright was stunned, confused, relieved, stunned again, relieved again...
Until the end, he said nothing, stood up, first performed an impeccable imperial military salute, and then bowed deeply.
An leaned back slightly to avoid, but did not stop.
When Wright stood up again, he extended his hand: "Please sit down."
"Now, we can finally talk about business." An deliberately changed his tone, but Wright didn't feel any violation.
"Do you know why they cast you?" Ann was referring to the mastermind's plan to cast Wright as Lecco.
Wright hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Apart from the fact that I am somewhat similar to you in appearance, it is also because... I am the illegitimate son of the Rebain family."
His mother never told him about his father. For various reasons, Wright investigated his life experience and came to this result that was unexpected and reasonable.
The Rebain family is a distant relative of the royal family. With such a bloodline, it is not surprising at all that they are similar in appearance to Lecco.
As for why the person who deceived Wright was so cautious about him, this is debatable.
"I suspect that the mastermind behind the incident is a member of the Rebain family." Wright concluded early on that the mastermind behind the incident was related to his biological father.
"Don't rush to a conclusion, but this direction is worth starting. I asked you to come here because I want you to do me a favor."
"I will definitely cooperate!" Wright frowned, "The situation in the empire has become more and more complicated recently. If the problem cannot be solved early, I am afraid it will get worse. Although the empire is not afraid of war, once the war breaks out, it will inevitably spread in an uncontrollable way. Everyone will be involved!"
The surrounding countries are eyeing the empire, and any spark will ignite this barrel of explosives, and it will be out of control.
We must not let the flames of war appear!
Ann thought so too, but he wasn't in a hurry.
"Don't agree so quickly. There may be many difficulties for you." An showed a smile that made Wright shiver unconsciously. "We may need to discuss the details..."
