Chapter 1106 - 654: Nobility Is Not Innate, but Bestowed by the People
Still alive?
And you came here...
"Your Majesty..."
Sivier’s emotions were complex; a mix of guilt and relief as she looked at Melvin. "I originally came to persuade you, but now, with your words, I feel I can save myself some effort in persuasion."
"What persuasion! Sivier, how dare you not follow orders! Do you not hold the King in your eyes! You’re just a village girl; it’s only because we favored you that you have today’s popularity!"
A Great Noble spoke angrily, "We gave you everything; otherwise you would be washing clothes in the countryside!"
"Yes, I am a village girl, I don’t deny that. But I am not a fool. From the moment you declared I died in battle and then found you here, I clearly understood what your plan is."
Sivier said, "You’re right, I have immense popularity within the Kingdom, but I’ve always fought for all the people of Hyrule. This isn’t my pride; it’s my responsibility. I am a citizen of Hyrule, and I am obliged to contribute to it. Within these contributions, being recognized by the people of Hyrule is as it should be."
"If I died, the citizens would certainly fall into a frenzy of revenge. That was my initial thought, so my hope was on you, believing that if I died, you could lead the citizens to resist."
"But your words make me feel that you might want to exploit these... exploit the lives of Hyrule’s citizens to create conditions for yourselves."
Sivier, mainly relying on her wit in dealing with Moriah, is certainly sharp in strategy.
Sivier stared intently at Melvin, "I always thought you were a trustworthy good King. Your Majesty, you are also part of Hyrule. Isn’t dedicating oneself to the nation’s contribution more than that little bit of Belly? As a King, you should be setting an example..."
"Shut up! Village girl! Wretch!"
Melvin finally couldn’t hold it anymore and yelled, "Everything you have is given by me; it originally belongs to me! I am the King of Hyrule, not you lecturing me here! I don’t care how you survived; now, go back and fight the Disaster Pirates! Don’t you want to save Hyrule? I’m giving you the chance!"
Sivier sighed, "Yes, I want to save Hyrule, but I realize I’m indeed no match for the disaster. So, I decided to change my approach..."
She gripped the flag in her hand tightly, like a spear, pointing straight at Melvin, "King Melvin, lords, I want to borrow your heads to protect all of Hyrule!"
Sivier, Paramecia-Type, Cheer-Cheer Fruit Ability User, can inspire people through mental and material conditions, boosting the will and courage of those who recognize her, thus unleashing combat power beyond their limits.
Because of her Fruit Ability, she is also a strong expert in motivation, plus distributing supplies wildly during this period, boosting morale, she holds a high position in the hearts of all Hyrule people.
But due to her ability, she believes everyone, even if not like her, isn’t too different.
But now, she’s confused.
The nobles and kings, who are immersed and always talk about protecting civilians, hence naturally noble, are timid and cowardly, like mice hiding in holes, afraid to show their faces.
Even in escape, they crawl like mice, biting their tails into a dark string.
Is this the truth?
Is this nobility?
No, perhaps more time is needed to verify.
Before that...
...
"Before that, I’d like to verify."
On a certain island, a small boat slowly docked on the shore, and a blind man tapping a blind cane got off the boat, landing along the coast, and walked slowly in a certain direction.
"Being naturally noble is the norm of the sea, but this region practices all beings as noble... I need a definite answer."
