    Chapter 30 Missing Daddy

    I am also one of those people who have a harem filled with uneasiness.It is said that Uther is indeed going to fight in person, and of course he will be accompanied by the “Thunder Hammer”, the Duke of Goa.I was horrified to hear that.The two pillars of the royal family have gone to war. If they cannot come back, what will the country do?Just rely on that young, grumpy prince?

    What should I do?My brother has always disliked me!

    I haven’t seen Uther and Goya for several days.Uther didn’t show up at dinner that evening either.I was in a state of confusion until I lay in bed at night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.In my mind, I unconsciously recalled all the things Uther did to me.His warm embrace, his doting smile, the kiss on my hair, and his sweet voice…

    The more I think about it, the more inexplicably sad I become.Suddenly I was eager to see him and hear his intoxicating voice.Thinking this, I couldn’t control myself and jumped out of bed. I couldn’t find my shoes in the dark, so I ran barefoot into the secret passage leading to Uther’s bedroom.

    In no time I was at the secret door of the king’s chamber.The door was very heavy, and I pushed it with a little force. As soon as I opened a tiny crack, I heard the sound of conversation in the room.

    My movements paused.The king’s bedroom should be strictly forbidden to outsiders, not even the queen.Who can enter the most noble bedroom in the entire kingdom at this late hour?

    If someone is around, I can’t go out.I was a little disappointed and wanted to go home, but closing the door again was a challenge. As I was trying hard, my eyes glanced out through the small crack and I was stunned.

    That…isn’t it Goya?

    I paused for a moment, and their conversation came clearly to my ears.

    “The boys in the Knights were all horny. They were so happy when they heard that Bea refused to hand over the son of a bitch.” Goya sat by the fireplace and laughed.Opposite him is the king of a country, but his posture and tone are extremely casual. It is obvious that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.He took a sip of wine and spoke again: “Actually, it’s enough with me and Dragon Spear. You don’t have to go to war.”

    “Lance has been sitting as leader of the Dragonlance for almost 30 years, and he can no longer hold the gun. Let him fight, and he will die.” Uther’s voice sounded, with a low smile, which was even more attractive in the dark night: “Luke is still young, and he doesn’t have enough experience as an acting captain. I don’t trust you to go alone. If you die, someone must carry your body home.”

    Faced with the king’s teasing, Goya didn’t take it at all, he just grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.He continued drinking, and after a while, he said, “You really don’t want Leon to go? This guy almost overturned the camp this afternoon.”

    “Leon is only 12 years old and has only received one year of training. He is not qualified to fight.”

    “At his age, I haven’t received any training at all. And there are many children who go to the battlefield at the age of 12. I believe… your assassin leader is one of them, right? That guy named Letty?”

    “Leon is different from those people. He is the prince of Gomorrah. If I can’t come back, he will be my heir and the next king.”

    Goya’s smile faded.His eyes turned to the fireplace, watching the flames dance on the logs.

    “You know.” He thought for a while and then said: “This time going south is different from our nonsense in the north. If these small countries unite, their military strength will be three times that of ours. Although Sodom has not expressed his position yet, Igrain is not an easy hostage. Once Sodom decides to become our enemy…”

    “To unify, these always have to be overcome.” Uther replied calmly: “The Southern Alliance will not be achieved, and I will not let them have this opportunity. As long as the alliance fails, we can eat them one by one. As for Sodom, I have my own way to stabilize the old dog on the throne.”

    “Damn it! Can you listen to me?” Goya suddenly interrupted him irritably, with a rude tone that was more like the intimacy between brothers than disrespect.Uther was not annoyed and made a gesture to let him continue.

    “Now there are two countries that are allied with Biya and Ximian. It will probably take two to three years to become enemies of these four countries. There are still two countries left, as well as the difficult Sodom…”

    “What are you going to say?” Uther was impatient.

    “What I want to say is that this war will last for a long time, and there are too many variables!” Goya said: “This is not like the wars we have experienced before! You are the king, you should not take risks, ruling the country is what you should do, and fighting such things is enough for us.”

    “Since you know how difficult it is to deal with the Confederacy, you should know that it is too risky for you alone, plus that young boy Luke. If I go, I will have a three-point chance of winning. Even if I don’t go into battle in person, the prestige of the personal expedition can boost morale and affect the war situation.”

    “As long as you leave Gomorrah, your safety cannot be guaranteed. Once the country loses you, what hope does it have?”

    “So Leon can’t go.” User said calmly.

    “No, compared to Leon, you are the one who should not go. He is still too weak. If neither you nor I can come back, he cannot bear the responsibility of the country. Now it is the right choice to let him go to the battlefield to accumulate strength. Besides, he is in the team, and he also has the power of the royal family. And you, you are in your glorious years. Only if you are alive can Gomorrah prosper. The country cannot live without you.”

    Uther paused, and after a while, he sighed.

    “Maybe you are right. But, he is my son.” Uther said: “As long as I can choose, I still choose to let me go.”

    he’s voice was low and sincere, and there was an emotion in it that I had never seen before.My heart seemed to be hit hard, and all kinds of emotions surged through my heart.This is the Uther I have never seen before, in front of the person he trusts most.It’s not the usual perfection, coldness, and flawlessness, but it shows emotion and a hint of vulnerability.As I listened to these words, I thought that maybe he would really die in the battle and never come back. He would never be able to hold me or pamper me. Unknowingly, tears welled up in my eyes.

    I burst into tears behind the door, and there was silence for a while outside.The crying affected my breathing and seemed much louder in the silence.My angle was just right to face Goya, and when I saw he’s eyes coming over me with precision, I frowned. Almost at the same time, the door was suddenly opened in front of me – Uther was behind the door at some point, and when he opened the door with a cold face, he was obviously stunned when he saw it was me.

    “Tangtang?” he called out in surprise.

    I was immediately exposed to the warm firelight – wearing a long, loose white nightgown, with long golden wavy hair hanging behind my shoulders, and my bare feet stepping on the carpet, they were reflected like jade carvings.My face was filled with tears. I was happy to see Uther, but also a little scared that I would be caught eavesdropping.Seeing him in front of me and remembering what I heard before, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart. I stretched out my arms to him and asked for a hug, crying and calling him: “Daddy…”

    He’s frosty eyes melted instantly, and he lifted me up and held me in his arms.I hugged his neck tightly, buried my head in his shoulder, smelled the familiar scent of his body, and couldn’t stop crying.He stroked my back with his big hands, kissed my hair with his lips, and a pleasant voice rang in my ears: “Little guy, I really don’t know what to do with you…”
