Hunter x Hunter Rise Meteor Street
Chapter 9 Heir
A week later, the Mebis Empire returned to its former peace. The police destroyed the face of Keen's body and took it away. The public once again had confidence and recognition in the police's ability.
King Orson thanked the hunter for his efforts. Prince Baron, knowing what happened, was more submissive to the king's authority and dared not let similar things happen again.
Although King Orson was very confident in his judgment, his biggest worry was not this, but his aging body.
His memory and physical strength were not as good as before. In the past, he had six princesses and a queen, and he had been able to irrigate them well in the early years.
Now when he went to the toilet to urinate, his urine would spill out like a spray bottle, and it was no longer a perfect parabola.
Not long after, the ministers did not remember the revised proposals when they asked again.
All these signs reminded him that it was time to hand over power. This empire needed a new master, a fruitful and convincing king.
Among the five princes, Prince Baron is regarded as the most likely to inherit the throne in the eyes of everyone. He is the son of the queen, graduated from the world's first university, Miwalu University, majoring in biology, and is also the champion of the world swordsmanship competition and the runner-up of the shooting competition. He is both civil and martial, and has always stayed in the palace, deeply loved by the king.
Only his brother Dolan is his biggest competitor. Dolan is the eldest son, graduated from the famous Rant Military Academy, and is proficient in shooting, fighting, and various weapons.
As soon as he graduated, he was arranged to the border by the king under the pretext of tempering, responsible for a legion to guard the border. This was the queen's idea. Dolan's edge was too strong, and many military officials admired him very much. Staying by his side was worried that he would threaten the king.
King Orson was playing his own chess game while listening to the queen's analysis. He felt that what the queen said was reasonable. Although they were father and son, they needed reasonable arrangements to control the power of a country.
The other three princes, the third prince Dandy, was very smart, but he was not interested in politics. He was idle all day and played everywhere. The king was helpless with him.
The fourth prince, Carl, was somewhat ambitious and scheming, but he often caused trouble outside and made friends with many underworld bosses. The king did not have a good impression of him.
The fifth prince, Jayne, was also interested in the throne. He was the most handsome of the five princes, but he had a good appearance but no ability. He was lustful by nature and went around looking for women. The king was very disappointed with him.
The best candidate in the king's mind was of course Prince Baron, but Baron's power was not strong enough, and he needed to strengthen his power. The king began his arrangements.
The king summoned Baron in the study, and after removing all the servants, only the two of them sat face to face.
"Child, I am old, but my judgment is still reliable. Among the five of you, your elder brother is the most capable, your third brother is the smartest, your fourth brother is the most calculating, and your fifth brother is the most outstanding in appearance. And I only called you here today, do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"Because you are the most obedient, I asked you to come here to tell you that I want to pass the throne to you, but you must do as I say, understand?"
"Everything is arranged by father."
"Your brother Dolan has his own army. Although he is far away from the border, his power is greater than yours. If I make you king, he will be the biggest threat, so you must have your own military force to compete with him."
"Father is right, but I have been accompanying father in the palace, and I have no confidants in the army."
"Do you remember the magic show that day, child?"
"Remember, I didn't recognize the other party's face and brought shame to the royal family, father."
"This is not the point, you are still young, and they are too cunning. I mean the brave girl named Emma, have you met her?"
"Not yet, Father, ever since the magician got into trouble, I have been feeling very guilty and have not thought about this. "
"You can think about it, child. She is from the Walter family. Her father, Sean, is the commander-in-chief of the First Legion, and controls half of the country's most sophisticated troops and weapons. If you also like such a girl, your union will help you have the strongest backing. Even if I leave, with them around, your brother will not dare to act rashly. "
"Hearing you say that, she is not a small person! But it will take some time, father. "
"As long as you like, your mother will help you arrange this kind of thing. I think you can give me a good result in the time of a ball. Show your charm. "
"I will do my best, father, don't worry."
"After the two had a secret conversation, Baron returned to his room with full of hope. He looked at himself in the mirror and imagined himself under the crown. He would be above thousands of people and no longer had to look at the king's eyes to act. This country would be his country, and he couldn't help laughing excitedly.
The queen also did a lot for her son. She called the ladies of several major families and arranged a large summer night dance, saying that she wanted to give the young noble men and women in the country more opportunities to get to know each other.
Good seeds need good soil, and noble blood needs long-term pure blending to continue the glory created by the ancestors.
——————
In the Walter family's manor, large areas of carnations are blooming in the garden, with red, yellow, pink, and purple.
Butterflies and bees are busy among the flowers, and the fragrance of flowers fills the entire garden. There is a tall laurel tree in the flowers for people to enjoy the shade. There is a swing under the tree. This is where the children of the family used to play.
Now these children have grown up, and there is no longer the fight of the past. Now it is a symbol of childishness. Only Emma likes to sit on it when she is worried, blowing the wind and being in a daze.
She has been swinging here for a whole day. At this moment, her head is tilted back, and she doesn't care that her long hair falls to the ground.
She looks at the upside-down flowers, the upside-down house, and everything upside down. She feels that her world has been turned upside down.
After sneaking back home that day, she didn't go out for a long time. She received education in a girls' church school, where she learned aristocratic etiquette and daily knowledge.
After a long period of training, she still has a boyish spirit in her bones. She has liked riding and shooting since she was a child. She loves to pester her father to tell her stories about warriors. She is determined to be an explorer to discover everything unknown.
When he saw Elson that night, he felt that his eyes were full of mystery, his manners were gentlemanly, and his conversation was elegant. When the red hair that was as conspicuous as the royal family fell on his face, there was a hint of nobility and unruliness.
It was destined that she would fall in love with him, but she guessed the beginning, but not the end.
When she watched the news about the man's crime, she had been doubting it in her heart. How could such a charming person be a murderer?
When she was close to the other's heart, she could feel that the man was sincere and full of love for her, but now he has become a corpse and a memory.
She felt vaguely that she might not love again, and there would never be such eyes that could make her fall deeply. She dared not trust any man again. It was too difficult to choose and persist between human nature and love.
But the arrangement of fate is unpredictable. She didn't know that there was a man who was planning to love her.
At dinner time, Emma received a notice from her mother that all the brothers and sisters in the family had to attend the social dance held by the queen, and her mother kept her until the end. She held her hands with both hands and said to her:
"My proudest daughter, Emma, do you know that when I was drinking tea with the queen, she told me in front of all the wives of princes and ministers that you are beautiful and brave in her eyes. The prince will attend this dance, and you must go to participate."
"Oh, mother, I don't want to go. The so-called nobles are all boring guys. If the sisters like, let them have the opportunity."
"Emma, you are a smart girl. Do you know what the queen means to me when she said this to you?"
"I know, mother, but I have my own ideas."
"Emma, I know you have been different since you were a child. You always like adventure and pursuit of excitement, but you must know that you have been born From the beginning, you represent not only yourself, but the entire family. "
"Mom, why must it be me? My sisters have always longed for the glory of the royal family. They are more suitable for the life of a prince than me. I just want to be an explorer, not a canary in a cage."
"Emma, now it is not you who chooses your fate, but fate that chooses you. You know that your father is in a high position and there are many people who are jealous of us. If you disobey the order, the king will definitely make trouble for your father. If we can get the protection of the royal family, our family will prosper for a longer time. You are a sensible child. You can always help your mother do things that your sisters can't do. This time you are making a sacrifice for the whole family. Emma, everything is for the family, mom begs you. "
"Mom, you are forcing me!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Walter burst into tears and knelt down to her daughter.
Emma looked at her mother who had always managed the family in an orderly manner and relied on her father for three points in major decisions, and she actually knelt down in front of her.
Emma's heart was broken at this moment. She was in tears and helped her mother up with trembling hands, but her mother insisted on her consent before getting up.
Emma hated her fate and her identity at this moment. As a person, she didn't even have the right to choose.
