Magus Tech Chapter 24: The king’s will

The next day, the king's palace.

The sun shines through the window and into the bedroom.

On the bed in the bedroom, King Donnas fell asleep under a thin quilt.

After a while, Downers opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling of the bedroom, his eyes rolling occasionally. After a long time, he regained his senses, his consciousness became clearer, and he turned his head to look to the side. Butler Delong was standing, and asked in a hoarse voice, "William... and Richard, are you here?"

"It's all here, I've been waiting outside for a while, Your Majesty." Deron replied in a low voice.

"Yes." Downes closed his eyes after hearing this, as if falling asleep again. After a long time, he opened his eyes again, sat up from the bed little by little, and said to Delong, "Call them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Delong immediately walked quickly towards the bedroom door, and returned after a while, followed by the two princes.

Walking in the front was the eldest prince William, wearing ordinary clothes without any fancy feeling. With sadness in his eyes, he quickly walked a few steps to the bedside of Downers, knelt down half-kneeled, and said in a loud voice, "Father, are you feeling better?"

Li Cha walked calmly behind, without any fluctuations on his face, walked up close and glanced at King Downers, and said without any emotion: "Dear Father——His Majesty Downers , hello."

"Ahem!" Downers coughed a few times, his face looked much worse than it was more than a month ago, he first grabbed William's hand and patted it, then looked at Richard and said, "You...you Do you just hate me that much, you need to remember what happened three years ago for so long?"

"Don't dare."

"Oh." Downers sighed, and said helplessly, "You can help me pour a glass of wine, then stand with your brother William, and I will talk to you two."

Li Cha's eyes flickered, he didn't say anything, he walked to the side of the bedroom, took out a glass and poured half a glass of wine into it. The sun shone in from outside the window, and some fine black particles in the wine glass swirled and sank to the bottom.

Li Cha picked up the wine glass and walked towards Donalds, and saw that the other party stretched out his hand. The skin on his arm was extremely dark, as if it had pigmentation, and there was a bump the size of a corn kernel on the palm of his hand.

As the hand was raised, the color of the entire hand changed from dark to pale, then purple, then flushed, and finally returned to the original dark color, typical of Raynaud's syndrome.

Seeing all the black particles in the glass sink to the bottom, Li Cha handed the wine glass to the other party's hand and said, "You'd better drink less of this wine, my respected father!"

William turned his head to look at this moment, and asked a little strangely: "What are you talking about, brother? My father is sick, and his whole body is in pain. He can only rely on wine to relieve it. How can he drink less?"

"Indeed, what William said is correct." Downers said, raised the wine glass to his mouth, took a big sip, and breathed out, "I can't stand it for a day without this wine." Go down."

Li Cha stopped talking and just shook his head slightly.

Donalds picked up the wine glass again, gulped down the wine in it, and his complexion improved a little. Because of the paralysis of alcohol, his spirit has improved a lot. Looking at William and Li Cha, he said, "At first I thought I could survive this winter, but recently my condition has gotten worse and worse. It is very likely that I will go to see your mothers in advance. I called you over today, is it I want to tell you some things.

Although the Blue Lion Kingdom is not big, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, it is a country after all. So, I want to put it in the hands of the qualifier, which is William. Of course, I don't think you are bad, Li Cha... Ahem... But your interest is obviously not in this.

Therefore, when the birch forest outside the city turns yellow this fall, I will go out of town, move there to live, die there, and be buried there. At that time, William will succeed me on the throne. Li Cha, you will be named Grand Duke and have a large territory. As long as you don't cause trouble for your brother, you will live in peace forever. "

Raising his hand to prevent William from speaking, Downers closed his eyes, gathered his energy, and said slowly: "Don't refuse, this is what I have decided. No matter what, I will I hope you two can live well after my death and maintain this country well. In addition..."

……

Half a sound later, the two princes—William and Richard walked out of the palace after listening to King Donnas' last words.

Outside the palace, the guards of the two waited for a long time, and hurriedly followed, and immediately the two became two teams.

"Da da da", footsteps sounded in the square in front of the palace, the two groups of people walked in silence, walked to the end, and walked in opposite directions to the left and right. Suddenly William stopped, turned his head to look at Li Cha, and said, "Li Cha! Brother!"

"Huh?" Li Cha followed and stopped, showing a questioning look.

At this time, there was still indelible sadness in William's eyes, and his mood was a little low. He said, "My dear brother, I think you and I are not in a good mood with father like this. If father really dies that day Now, there are only two royal family members left in the Blue Lion Kingdom, you and me.

It's been a long time since we two brothers sat down and talked properly. Today I invite you to my palace for dinner. Although recently, in order to find a doctor to treat my father and reduce expenses, the dinner will be a bit simple, but I hope you don't dislike it. "

"I don't dislike it." Li Cha shook his head calmly and said calmly, "But I'm not free."

"Ah, this..."

"Let's talk when we have time, my dear brother—His Royal Highness Prince William~IndoMTL.com~Goodbye." Li Cha waved his hand, turned and left, followed by his personal guards. Edward, the captain of the personal guard, glanced at William, as if he was a little wary.

William, on the other hand, froze in place, seeing Li Cha and his party leaving far away, he couldn't help but shook his head and gave a wry smile.

"His Royal Highness!" A voice came from behind William. It was the captain of his personal guard. Unlike Edward, he was not a nobleman, but a loyal soldier. At this time, he said slightly angrily: "Your Highness, Your Highness Li Cha is too much, you obviously mean well, but he..."

The captain of the personal guard stopped suddenly, because William was staring at him coldly.

"Your Majesty..."

"Remember one thing." William said word by word, "No matter what Richard does or says, he is my younger brother. Except for my father, only my father can judge him, and no one else can." ! Do you—understand?"

"I...understand..."

"Just understand, let's go back." William said softly.

"Then His Highness, His Highness Richard will not attend the dinner, will the preparations in the kitchen continue?" the captain of the guard asked in a low voice.

William said recently that he wants to cut down on expenses, and he is really doing it. He only eats brunch and dinner twice a day, and it is very simple, one meal of white bread and some jam.

But today, because I want to invite Li Cha, although I don't dare to be too extravagant, I still let the kitchen prepare some tricks. But it is obvious that Li Cha will not attend the dinner, probably because he wants to...

But unexpectedly, William said: "Let the kitchen continue to prepare, my dear brother will not participate, but maybe there are other guests who will come."

"Huh?"

"Don't ask too much."

"Yes." The captain of the personal guard said quickly, lowering his head.
