    Chapter 95 The price of becoming a king

    The more I cried, the harder I cried, and I simply buried my face in my hands.I don’t know why I’m crying. Is it because of the resentment I feel after being eaten up by Uther?Or is it because I actually care about that beast and feel unwilling to do so?

    While I was holding my face and crying with great enthusiasm, Godiva on the other side was first shocked, and then, she actually started to laugh.

    “Why are you crying all of a sudden?” She said with a smile in her tone: “This is obviously His Majesty’s love and care for you, why do you feel like you have been wronged?”

    Care?Does he have such love and care?Want me to go to bed with another man?!

    I cried harder and harder and refused to give up.Godiva tried to persuade him a few words, but when he saw that it had no effect, he sighed quietly and said, “It seems that you don’t understand your Majesty.”

    I trembled, my cry became fainter, and my ears quietly pricked up.

    “You said, His Majesty doesn’t want you anymore? This idea is completely wrong. In fact, His Majesty has never wanted you.”

    These words were so heartbreaking that I suddenly raised my head and looked at her with tears in my eyes, but she still smiled gently, without any trace of insult or sarcasm.

    “Sorry, that’s not the right thing to say. The correct thing to say is that Uther has never asked for anyone or anything. No… maybe, in this world, he only wants one thing.”

    I was a little confused by her words. I stopped crying unconsciously and listened to her slowly saying:

    “You are too young and know nothing about he’s past. Uther’s mother family was once the third largest family in Gomorra, heThe birth of the king was a conspiracy for power.There were more than 20 illegitimate children of the previous king.At that time, Duke Goya was obviously of the king’s blood, and almost all of them were supported by forces.In this environment, do you know how Uther grew up?

    Godiva looked at me, not expecting me to answer, and continued:

    “This history is too complicated, and even I can’t fully understand the context. The most credible rumor I have ever heard is that Uther’s mother always wanted to protect him and refused to let him be destroyed in the melee. She was really an amazing woman. She did it before Uther was 10 years old, and she was always favored by the former king. Until one night, the manor where they lived was suddenly burned down by fire. Everyone was in trouble, but only Uther survived, and he wasThe mother clan picked it up.”

    The abandoned garden, the withered mansion, and the words he said to me when Uther and I were sitting on the stone bench, holding my hand and looking at the house with indifferent eyes, immediately came to my mind.At this time, I seemed to realize something, some extremely ominous premonition, and for a moment, I actually felt creepy.

    No way… It’s difficult… Could it be…

    “Have you guessed it?” Godiva saw my expression change and smiled slightly: “Legend has it that the people who burned down the house and killed his mother were the people of his mother’s clan. They needed Uther as a pawn in the fight, but they could not take him away from his mother, so they did this crazy thing. But later, they didn’t end up well. Before Uther even ascended the throne, the entire Trojan family was destroyed, and the clan and heEveryone who is related by blood is not spared.”

    I just feel that all the bones in my body are cold. In this warm summer day, I can hardly suppress my shivers.I heard what Godiva said. These were all done by Uther. It was he who bloodbathed his own kin and avenged his mother.

    He finally ascends to the throne, and those who once tried to take advantage of him will never see this happen again.

    No!Suddenly something clicked in my mind!Maybe he didn’t do this to avenge his mother!He may know that if these people are still there, even if he becomes the king, he will be hindered by them, so he will be so cruel!He will decisively remove all obstacles in the way, even his relatives, maybe even his mother will not be exception!

    “Of course, these are just rumors.” Incompatible with the horror of the story, Godiva’s tone was relaxed and casual: “Uther finally became the king, and his more than 20 half-brothers all died in the end. But no one cares about these. Now, everyone only knows the result, that is: Uther was a wise king, he revitalized Gomorrah, unified the continent, and allowed the people to live in peace and happiness. So…” sheHe looked at me and asked with a smile: “You should know what the only thing he wants is, right?”

    “Royal power…” I murmured subconsciously.

    “That’s right. Uther has lived for royal power all his life. No, that’s not right. It should be said that he lives for the country. You should also have heard about his assassination in Sodom. Have you ever thought about it? As a king, there is obviously no need to put himself in danger. But he still chooses to do that because it is the most effective and least sacrificial method. For the country, he can even use his own life and give it up, let alone others.What he has devoted his life to is to be this king and make the country prosperous… Although you have not been with him for a long time, you can see how he lives every day.He is no longer a person, and the machine does not want anything.The machine only needs to give.”

    When Godiva said this, he couldn’t help sighing, and his tone contained a hint of pity: “I guess this may be related to his childhood. It should have been the most carefree days, but he lived the most dangerous and frightening life. He knows better than anyone else what kind of misfortunes and declines turmoil and division will bring. That’s why he has accomplished so many feats since he came to the throne. He has shouldered all those misfortunes on his own, giving everything he has, and serving himHis subjects have created a peaceful life, so that they do not have to suffer the pain that he has experienced… He is no longer a normal person, but he is a great monarch and deserves it.”

    When I heard Godiva’s words, I felt like I was enlightened.Yes, I’ve always seen it, but why haven’t I realized it?Yes, he has been so busy since I was a child, and those fragments are now connected in my mind.How many times did he leave in a hurry after being friendly with me? His indifferent and forbearing look when dealing with mundane matters in large occasions… I think of that night many years ago, when I heard the conversation between he and Goya in the secret passage. He would rather go to fight by himself to keep Leon safe; I thought of heTaking off my clothes, I saw the numerous scars on my skin; I thought of what Letty said to me when she cried, “You don’t know, how many times has His Majesty been betrayed and assassinated, how many years have he spent in fear, and there are sharp knives under the pillow…”

    My eyes were covered with tears again.I thought back to the last time we met, the indifferent smile he gave me that could kill the world, and said to me: “Even if I were the king, there are some things I can’t give you. No, just because I am the king, I can’t give you…”

    It turns out that he has no obsession with me or anything, because he has subconsciously determined that he owns nothing except giving.So, he sent me to Godiva, and he didn’t care whether I was happy with him. As long as I can be happy, that’s enough…

    “I want to go back to the palace!” Suddenly my mind became hot, I stood up and said loudly, wiping the tears from my face: “Godiva, lend me the carriage!”

    This big bastard!Damn pervert!Why do you want to be a good person so I have to let you do it!You want to get rid of me so easily?There is no way!
