Quadruple split

"Is it the responsibility of the royal family..."

Looking at the eloquent Ribo standing next to him, a flash of surprise flashed in Clairvaux's eyes. The former's impassioned speech just now caught him by surprise, as if he had grown up and matured overnight.

Although it would be strange to put the words "grow up" and "mature" on His Royal Highness, who is almost thirty, children will always be children in the eyes of their parents, at least until the right opportunity arises...

In most cases, when a person starts taking care of you when you can't even crawl, and only eats and sleeps every day to make trouble for others, slowly teaches you to speak, walk, be polite, wash your hands before eating, and witnesses If innocence and childishness occupy more than 90% of your entire life, then no matter how mature and outstanding you are in the future, it will be difficult to erase your identity as a 'child' from the other person's heart.

This is very troubling...

Even if you are taller than him, know more than him, have more income than him, have more horizons than him, even have more relationships than him and more black history, in the eyes of the other person, you are still just a child and a need. A child to teach and protect, even though you really are no longer needed.

This is even more troubling…

When people talk about their children, they always like to say, "He was XXXX when he was a child" and "She was XXXX when she was just walking." Maybe it's not because your parents only remember you back then, but because they already know subconsciously that they no longer understand you now. of you.

And this subconsciousness will cause them to subconsciously frequently talk about your childhood when you think about it, because that's when they know you best.

Of course, the above remarks are very one-sided and not objective. They are far from being a tenable theory, but it is undeniable that they do have some truth.

At least it makes sense to put it on Clairva Bresne.

Because until today, after hearing what Ruibo just said, he suddenly realized that his eldest son had really grown up.

Therefore, the old emperor was not dissatisfied because of the other party's rather transgressive move. He just looked at his eldest son with a firm gaze and asked softly: "So?"

"As I just said, Your Majesty."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed deeply to his father and said in a deep voice: "We should protect the balance that maintains the empire. This is the responsibility of our Violet family. The result of today's trial will be determined from some perspective." In a sense, it determines the future of the empire."

Clairvaux nodded slightly and tapped the armrest of the seat: "I probably understand what you mean."

Not only him, but everyone here basically understood what Rebo Bresne meant.

To put it simply, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not intend to follow tradition and let the Violet family vote for each of the two options according to the rules, but intends to break the rules in order to 'protect the stability of this empire' and 'shoulder the responsibilities of the royal family' According to the rules of the game, the two votes in your hand, which are sacred and glorious but have been basically useless for thousands of years, are gathered together to make a decisive decision.

Moreover, to put it in a rather awkward way, this very positional decision was actually intended to allow the Violet family to continue to have no position in the future.

This is so fucking amazing...

But no matter who you are, you must admit that although it is magical, Rebo Bresne's words are not unreasonable.

After all, whether from the perspective of the eight major families or from the perspective of the Violet family themselves, the meaning and value of the royal family's existence is to stabilize the situation. Although it is not necessary to be fair, it must at least check and balance each family fairly, so that the empire can To maintain superficial prosperity under any circumstances, try to keep the eight bowls of water on the table level.

Although this is a job that does not require any technical content, it is long-lasting and laborious, and it is destined to be subject to various restrictions. The corresponding compensation is the status of 'royal' and a small number of special rights.

For example, having two votes in the trial of Purple Jiu Hall is one of them. First of all, it gives enough face and makes many people who don't know how powerful they are think, "Wow, the royal family has two votes, it's a bull's-eye!" ’, and the second is that you don’t have to offend anyone and you can’t get involved in large-scale interest exchanges.

Therefore, no matter which trial it is, the royal family has no way to get the benefits of voting [observation], nor does it have to offend people like those who voted [sanctions]... In fact, it is just like those princes whose conditions have failed.

However, this time, unexpected changes occurred in the trial of the Marshall family. This was the first time that when it was the Violet family's turn to vote, the [Observation] vote did not have an advantage.

So if the royal family continues to vote and no one will be offended as it did in the past, this trial will directly become a different nature...

This is a question that has never been seen before. No one knows how to write the standard answer, and no one knows how many points it is worth.

However, at this critical moment, Rebo Bresne stood up and hoped to make a decision in the name of the royal family.

He hopes that the royal family will make different choices and get the same results as before.

In this case, no matter for the Violet family or the entire empire, at least no points will be deducted from this question.

It is indeed the theoretically optimal solution to the Violet family. Not only does it not shake the royal family's character, it also diffuses the impending storm invisible.

"Of course, I am also very aware that the crimes committed by the Marshall Archduke are very serious."

Ruibo sighed deeply, and then said solemnly: "But we must consider the overall situation."

What a great person who takes the overall situation into consideration!

Mo Tan looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing next to Clairvaux with great admiration. He couldn't help but want to applaud him, and then... he really applauded and shouted "Hello" with great energy.

It is conceivable that after saying such words in front of everyone, even if the final result becomes [observation], it will be difficult for neither Fire Claw nor Crystal Wolf to vent their anger on Emperor Clairvaux, because in the end The person who stood up to influence the outcome was Rebe Bresne, but he was only a crown prince, not an emperor. It would be inappropriate to target the Violet family for this, and what they said was reasonable and well-founded. It was not that Buffy felt that There is nothing wrong with Marshall or receiving any benefits, he is just fulfilling his royal responsibilities.

To put it bluntly, wasn't this the reason why such a royal family was created in the first place?

With the big hat pressed down, it’s really hard to know where to start.

Just by standing up and expressing his opinion, he saved the Violet family who was at the forefront of the storm. Not only did they not have to be in a dilemma, but they also became a person. If the royal family voted for one side because they adhere to the principle, if they voted for both Giving [Observation] is also to stick to the principle. After Clairvaux's [Observation] vote was cast just now, he was in an invincible position.

The next vote is for sanctions, which means that the emperor follows the ancestral system; for observation, it means that the crown prince understands the righteousness.

No matter how you play, it won’t hurt.

This is also the reason why Mo Tan applauded him,

‘How the hell do you still have the heart to applaud? ! ’

The news about Futaba's friend jumped out immediately. The girl who left the overall situation to Mo Tan was already a little uneasy. As smart as she was, she could easily come to the same judgment as Mo Tan.

Her palms were sweaty!

‘Why am I not in the mood to applaud? ’

Mo Tan replied instantly.

‘Then tell me, what should I do in this situation now? ’

Futaba glared at the other party covertly and replied through gritted teeth.

In her opinion, Clairvaux will definitely support Ribo, who has already gained a lot of presence, because every word he says is well-founded and tenable from all aspects.

‘I don’t know~’

In the end, Mo Tan said lightly that he didn't know.

'have no idea? ! ’

‘Well, I really don’t know. ’

‘Aren’t you confident? ! ’

‘I am confident. ’

‘Then you still say you don’t know. ’

‘I don’t know~’

‘…’

To be honest, if Futaba hadn't trusted each other enough through so many years of overt and covert fighting, she might have flipped the table by now.

‘Okay, let’s read on. Except for accidentally treating you as an equal opponent, I haven’t made any mistakes with my vision. ’

Mo Tan smiled, and although he ignored the other party's murderous gaze, he still comforted him lightly, lest Futaba lose control and go crazy on the spot, and things might get really difficult to deal with.

As for the others, they all just managed to remain calm, and their expressions were somewhat out of shape. After all, even those who can sit here are talents even if they are not human beings. Basically everyone can hear the overtones of His Highness the Crown Prince, so they were so shocked that it was difficult to control themselves. It's also reasonable.

Of course, it is unknown how many people's shock is genuine and how many people's shock is fake.

"Are you taking into account the overall situation..."

Clairvaux nodded slightly, then looked away. He first glanced at the three light balls left in front of him, one white and two black. After a few seconds of silence, he turned to look at Xiu who was yawning behind him and asked softly. He said: "Axiu, what do you think of what Ruibo said?"

The second prince, who seemed to be in a state of wandering mind, nodded casually: "Ang, I think the royal family really needs to make some changes."

Whether it was his answer, expression or demeanor, he almost had the word 'perfunctory' written on his face.

"Oh Well."

The old emperor was very angry at his second son, who he valued highly. As a father, he was very aware of his second son's weird temper, and on the other hand, he also knew that the latter was actually not that ignorant. Whether it was the previous sentence in the garden, 'When we should make a decision, we will make a decision,' or the sentence just now, although it was quite perfunctory from all aspects, Clerval did not feel that Xiu Xiu It was just nonsense, and through Ruibo's words just now, he also felt that he should appropriately let the young people shoulder some things.

But Ribo can't be left alone to shoulder the responsibility.

So after a short pause, Clairvaux leaned back on his chair, and then nodded gently to Xiu: "Since you feel so too, and it is a rare occasion for you to appear on this occasion, then as a prince, sir, One vote counts as your eldest brother’s, and the rest is up to you.”

Xiu's eyes widened at that time and he exclaimed: "Why don't you leave such an important matter to me?!"

Ruibo's expression also changed: "Father?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm old anyway."

Clairvaux smiled faintly and said with a smile: "Since you brothers are united, let Xiu, my younger brother, support me on my behalf..."

Buzz! ! ! ! ! !

A black ball of light belonging to violet suddenly exploded, not only interrupting Clairvaux's earnest words, but also almost blinding everyone's eyes. In the next moment, it turned into a deep crack from the long table. The center spread all the way to the Marshalls' seats.

Ever since Ribo appeared, Buffy Marshall, who had been smiling and silent, was stunned...

The Grand Duke Emmeline of the Crystal Wolf, who had become completely confused, was stunned and had doubts about the authenticity of this world. It seemed that she wanted to slap herself.

Grand Duke Hussein, who went from nervousness to depression to shouting to fear and finally to high spirits, was stunned and couldn't believe that all of this was true.

Archduke Fernando, who had been shivering, well, he was still shivering, but he was shaking more violently than before, as if his whole body was in vibration mode.

Grand Duke Dantès, who had always maintained his elegance, opened his eyes in disbelief. The blood on his face faded away. He subconsciously exchanged a look with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had the same expression. He felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. He accidentally dropped his cane. fell to the ground.

But Grand Duke Simon of Ximu actually bent down and helped Grand Duke Dantès pick up the cane and handed it back to him expressionlessly. There was no emotion at all in the two bright red windows of the soul.

Vernon Baroka shrugged at Emmeline grandiosely, smacked his lips and said, "It's quite a strange thing, isn't it?"

Shuangye turned around suddenly and looked at Mo Tan in surprise: "This is impossible. If it is a coincidence... it is wrong, but how can he guarantee... why..."

The latter did not answer Futaba's somewhat broken question, and did not even mean to pay her any attention. He just stood up, clapped his hands for the third time today, and laughed loudly: " Haha, hahahahahaha, wonderful, what a wonderful performance. Dear His Highness Shubresian, please accept my most sincere respect!"

"oh?"

The second prince who just slapped a black ball of light casually blinked and asked calmly: "Have I done anything worthy of respect?"

Subrexin lazily tilted his head and glanced at Buffy Marshall, who happened to be sitting next to him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly...

"I'm just letting the dust settle on this farce."
