The Amber Sword

Brando was silent for a moment. What Levin Orneson meant when he asked him to propose Antina Denki was to give the North-South aristocracy an opportunity to sit back and discuss the future and future of the kingdom. Because Antittina is the lost blood of the West Fah royal family, once Brando makes this proposal, she must first prove to the House of Lords the legitimacy of her succession to the throne. And as part of the West Fah royal family, the Northern nobility has reason to participate and witness all of this, and may be happy to see a descendant of the West Fah royal family take over the throne of Eruin.

Thus, the aristocracy of the South and the North may, through parliament rather than war, put an end to the long-standing dispute over Eru since the strange death of Obergu VII.

Levin Orneson is well aware of the integrity of politicians, and once they sit down and start arguing, the chances of resorting to knife soldiers are nearly gone.

But Brando wasn't going to do it.

He first repeated to Freya what his eldest son had written to them in his letter, and said: "Although His Royal Highness's approach could avert civil war and division at one time, so that Eruin would return to the time when Obergu VII was alive, the vegetarian nobility of the corpse still devoured the roots of the kingdom like a carcass, and we blurred it to the surface even better, but it was difficult to save Eruin's good luck, so that one day it would collapse.

Freya nodded and, as someone who had always pursued the ideals of Her Royal Highness and Brando, she was best able to understand what the two ideals of Eruin were - perhaps far away, but by no means as they are now.

She asked softly, "So, Brando, what are you going to do? ”

“I have an idea," Brando thought, answering: "Eruin does not need a rule and order temporarily set for him by a powerful man. I can shelter the kingdom today, but I cannot shelter it day by day, and the kingdom's subjects must always choose their own path and destiny. ”

“Since this ancient kingdom was ruled by many kings, the Sifah family and the Korkova family alternately for nearly a thousand years, and both families have a profound prestige, both Princess Griffin and Her Royal Highness Levine are deeply enlightened today, then why can't Eru have two or more men who decide its fate? ”

Freya was surprised and stared: “Brando, do you mean...? ”

“Haruze did not intend to take the throne, so that Princess Griffin, His Royal Highness Levine and Antitina could unite to form a troika, re-elect members from the present House of Lords and participate in it together, each representing the will of the three ancient families, the Royal Family of Sifah, the Royal Family of Korkova, the local nobles, the Royal Family and the nobles, taking a sacred oath of control over the fate of Eluín, and they would wait for each other, and if any party violated that oath, it would be rejected by all. ”

“But can this be... can it really be?” Freya asked with dismay that Brando's proposal was somewhat more than she had imagined, but it did not seem impracticable to think about it.

Brando did not answer immediately, and it is not necessarily clear today whether this parliamentary system is good or bad. But it is first and foremost possible to put an end to the long-standing dispute and the crisis of division in Eru and, more importantly, to sow a seed in the hearts and minds of men, so that they may accustom themselves to discussing together the determination of the fate of the kingdom, rather than harbouring the future of the kingdom under the patronage of a powerful lord or king.

And one day, this seed will take root in Eruin, making the transition from aristocratic politics to civilian politics, and only then will the vision of the first monarch be fulfilled.

Of course, Brando never thought about it overnight. At least for the moment, the aristocratic lords and royals of Eruin still need great strength. Only such a force cannot be unique and requires checks and balances, and even the Quartet Parliament is the best means of checks and balances. The covenant between this nobleman and the royal family will be deeply rooted as long as Eruin is able to sustain the catastrophe that the whole Vaughn faced together.

Freya bowed her head for a moment and said, “I'm afraid it's not that easy, Brando... the royal parties won't agree, they've been running for many years, the Corcova royal family finally took control of the south, they want to show their ambitions through the royal family, how can they allow others to split the cake? ”

After becoming a qualified commander, Freya's insights are not what they are today, pointing out the key to the problem at a glance.

Brando shook his head with disdain: "The aspirations of the Royal Party were noble, but most of them have now deteriorated because of the lack of supervisors, who, apart from a few such as Ovewell and Makaro, is upholding the ideals of the first monarch? The unbroken will eventually become unbroken greed, they can't even tolerate me, let alone the Knesset of the Three Kings? ”

“Well...” Freya didn't understand.

“No change is easy, Freya," Brando silently folded Haruze's letter with Her Royal Highness and handed it to the goddess of martial arts: “You take my meaning back and tell Princess Griffin that she will understand what to do. ”

There have been countless sacrifices for Eruin's bloodshed, and now it is finally the turn of the kingdom's nobles on the decapitation stage to prove their legitimacy today with blood as descendants of the ancient nobles who, as promised by the earlier King Ecker, led his people.

“This may be the last time I have changed the fate of Eluin, and it must be the most radical," Brando continued when he delivered the letter to Freya, “I left the White Lion Corps after the change in the kingdom, the fleet of Valhalla, and brought back the Lion Heart Sword and the White Lion Guard of the Predecessor, and Eluin will continue to expand south in the future, one day it may become the reign of the Empire, and I believe its fate has changed. ”

“Brando?” Freya was surprised: “Are you leaving us? ”

Brando shook his head: "No, I'm not going anywhere, Freya. Just so you know, Valhalla's power can't always affect Eruin, you know, I'm not building a puppet beneath me, I'm building a kingdom of free will. Today, if I do, I can even uproot the noble power of Eruin completely, but that makes no sense, because people will only remember the shadow under power at this moment, under my rule Cesar trembles, and I can decide what I say and do, but I cannot decide what everyone in this ruling class says and does, and there will always be people who will pretend in my name that it is not good for the kingdom. ”

“I am not a qualified politician, but I know who I am, and I will appoint the three of them to pave the way for their future, and they will decide where the future of Eruin will go, and I believe they will speak of a glorious future for this ancient kingdom, just as they will personally put in my hands the power to determine their own destiny. ”

Brando said at the end of the day, the words were like iron, as if they were hurling sounds.

Freya looked at him with surprise, and for the first time she saw such a strong and confident look on each other, at a moment when Brando seemed like a true king, and he had decided the future of a kingdom by words and deeds.

She took a deep breath and replied earnestly: "I understand, I will convey what you mean to Her Highness. ”

Brando smiled and said softly: "You don't have to be so serious, Freya, you've had a hard time on the road. Take a break for two days and meet Miss Andrea, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest - by the way, remember to remind Her Royal Highness of the King's Party, I suspect that the return of all things will penetrate deeply within the King's Party, but unfortunately it has not been possible to handle it. ”

Freya nodded in surprise.

Suddenly there was silence between them.

They fought side by side in the most critical circumstances of Butch, killing a way out of despair, the Sea of Fire in Ridenburg, tens of thousands of dead spirits, relying on each other, waiting and promising each other.

That promised bud finally grew into a tree today.

“Brando.” Freya suddenly said.

Brando shrugged and raised his head. Seeing Freya's glittering eyes look at herself, the Goddess of Martial Arts' cheeks were burning red and she said word for word: "Remember our promise? ”

Brando nodded.

“Brando,” Freya said bravely, word for word, "you've fulfilled your promise, you're a real man. I lost to Roman, but it doesn't matter. I like you, Brando. You understand? Beginning with Prague, the ideals in my heart exist only for you--”

She seemed to use all her strength to finish the sentence, and then didn't overdo it. Her chest could not resist rising and falling, and the colour of the red stretched from her cheek to the root of her neck.

The needle smells quiet in the lobby.

Andrea's eyes sparkled as if she had some admiration.

Delphine smiled and looked around at the two of them.

“Freya...”

“I'm sorry I shouldn't be so rude...” Freya whispered: "When I get Roman back, I'll ask her personally, but... I'm not Eruin's goddess of martial arts. Remember that naive, childish militia captain in Prague? I... will always follow you, Brando. ”

Brando laughed so hard, what else could he say? It was a confession without remorse, and he said that any word could only be remedial. He nodded silently and replied, "Thank you, Freya. ”

Eruin's goddess of martial arts was somewhat shrewd, and at this moment she had a cheerful face, and that pure and flawless smile was more precious than the wings of an angel.

Freya pressed her hand against her chest, her heart pounding straight, like it was about to jump out.

“You scared the shit out of me, Brando...”

She couldn't help muttering to herself.

Brando shook his head and thought of the silly girl.
