Your Mightiness

"Actually, there are many countries in the East. I don't know if the country I went to is also liked by you."

"Where have you been?"

"A strange country called Ming."

"China."

"Yes, that's also the name." The boy's smile deepened, and he looked even more beautiful. He leaned forward, looking like he wanted to have more communication with August, "I haven't Introduce myself, my name is Liszt, nice to meet you, Your Excellency the Duke."

"You can call me by my first name,—August." August also smiled.

Then, they chatted about the beautiful east and the powerful ancient country of the east, and they didn't separate until the sun was about to set.

The Black Prince was surprised to find that he was not happy about it.Only at that moment did he realize that he objected to August and Raphael being together, not only because he could not accept his younger brother becoming a daughter-in-law, but also because it gave him a sense of crisis that his son was about to be snatched away.From only him and his son depended on each other for life, the son formed a happy family with others, and gradually drifted away from him.

This does not refer to the distance in life, but only a feeling in the soul.

In fact, when the child is about to form a brand new family with another person and leaves home to live alone, parents will more or less have this kind of ambivalence that they want the child to be happy but do not want the child to leave themselves.

Loss is inevitable, but some people let go quickly, while others need a very long process.This is especially true for single-parent families, both male and female.Because it's obvious that humans are social animals that value sociality, and no one wants to be the one left behind.

Therefore, not only Raphael's, but anyone who became August's partner would find it difficult to please the Black Prince.

Raphael doesn't understand the complexities of modern psychology, but he understands the Black Prince.He couldn't say such words in front of his elder brother that would make him angry, so he chose a tactful way to wake up the black prince.The black prince looks careless and careless, but he often introspects himself, otherwise he would not be invincible all these years. The most commendable thing is that when the black prince realizes his mistake, he will not cover it up, and he will not fight to the death Don't admit it, but will actively correct it.

On the way to send his son back to the palace, the Black Prince began to think about it. Was he too harsh on Raphael before?In the past few days, I can see Raphael going in and out with such a face, obviously Raphael is such a strong person...

August didn't know what Raphael was thinking, so he could only do things according to his own understanding.He couldn't directly reject his father's good intentions, and he could do better than the Black Prince if he found out that his child was with his younger brother, even if they were not related by blood.

As for how to reject the Black Prince silently, Auguste already had an idea when he was chatting with Liszt.

On the carriage, August excitedly told the Black Prince about his affinity with Liszt. They had things they liked in common and things they hated about the same. Liszt is so perfect, like a friend specially created by God for August.

Yes, my friend.

August made up his mind not to reveal that he already knew that the Black Prince was planning a blind date for him, and was unswervingly prepared to turn this blind date into a friendship event.

"I have very few friends, and I am really glad to know Liszt." Auguste said this from the bottom of his heart. He really needs some friends, just like Marquis Philippe to Raphael friends like that.He said that Julie and Father Joe are very nice, and Anne, who always loves to give him homemade bread, is also nice, but they are not as close to August as Liszt is, "I have some weird ideas that only Liszt can understand."

"You're not weird!" The Black Prince retorted directly, regardless of other things. He had always educated his son to be confident and dazzling, because that's what he thought, and his son was the best in the world. !

August couldn't help laughing: "Probably only you and mom would think so."

August still knows what the outside world thinks of him. He used to be a foolish little fool, later he was a coaxable young master, and now he is a cruel and unreasonable superior.Anyway, either I think he is easy to bully, or I think he likes to bully others.No matter what he did, he could interpret a hundred and eighty different meanings.Because in their eyes, he was never himself, but all kinds of symbols, the son of the black prince, the king's cousin, the regent of France... only not Auguste.

Of course, August doesn't need others to understand him. With his immature methods and high status, under such a serious imbalance, he would rather be afraid of him than everyone knows how much he has. A few pounds.

"I just need you and mom to know who I am." August looked at the Black Prince seriously, and said every word.He has experienced too many misunderstandings and rumors in his previous life, which is enough for him to grow into an invincible person in this life, at least he will not be easily defeated by gossip and others' incomprehension.

The Black Prince rubbed his son's head, he always felt that August was like a child who couldn't grow up.

"Of course, it would be even better with Yale."

This is the second message August conveyed to his father. He really likes Raphael, just like the Black Prince likes Joan. No matter what others say, he only recognizes that one The doomed man.

The Black Prince also heard what his son meant, and even knew why August did what he did.

Thousands of words were spoken, but in the end they could only be turned into a long sigh from his throat. The Black Prince said helplessly: "Is he really that good?"

"Excellent!" August's dumb hair bobbed up and down with his head.

"Yes, it's because I spend too little time with you, and he is always by your side, so you..." The black prince finally asked the real entanglement in his heart, which even Raphael did not expect of.In fact, the black prince is far from being able to ignore everything as he has shown. In fact, he is afraid that it is his years away that caused his son's current sexuality.

"No, no, no," August shook his head hastily, he didn't know why the Black Prince had such a terrible idea, "Sexuality is like being left-handed, it's innate, at least I am, it has nothing to do with the acquired environment. Dad, I like Yael just because he is Yael, and it has nothing to do with whether he accompanied me when I was a child. If it is calculated by the length of company, then I should like the old butler or Andre (the knight commander) .”

The black prince was stunned, and after thinking hard, he had to admit that it seemed to be the case.

Comparing the age of the old butler, I suddenly felt that Raphael was also very good, at least he was good-looking!Wait, Andre is not bad too.To be honest, Andre has not been married for so many years, has no one he likes, and is still loyal...much better than the cunning Raphael.

"Dad...!" August was about to kneel to the black prince's imagination.

The Black Prince still thinks it's weird for his younger brother and son to be together, age and gender can be ignored because of love, so what about identity?

August had to resort to his big move: "What about you and mom?"

"Uh." The black prince was speechless, he's not a good example, it's really hard to stand up and continue to persuade his son to change his mind QAQ, wife, what should I do if it's swollen?

Mother Joan is just a sketch of a character hanging in the black prince's pendant, what can she do?She is also very desperate.

Finally, when the carriage was about to stop at the gate of the palace, August conveyed to the Black Prince the third message he was going to convey today—he had really grown up.

"I know why you have to leave countless times. It's not just because you can't bear the pain of losing your wife, and it's not because you like to lead the army so much. It's because of your achievements."

This principle is not profound, it can even be said to be very simple, just put it on the table so carelessly, anyone who wants to read it can see it.But the former August never thought of it anyway. Only when he really became the speaker, in a position similar to that of the Black Prince, did he understand the embarrassment of the Black Prince.

Even though the Black Prince abdicated for love, he is still the great King of England in the hearts of the nobles. Even the real King Richard II felt that his brother was more suitable for that position than him.As long as the Black Prince is still in London, everyone's idea that the Black Prince is more important than the king will not change for a day.But how could the Black Prince be more important than the King?This is a feudal and centralized country, and the king must be above everyone to have real authority.

A simple example: Richard II worked so hard with the Holy See, why?Rebellious spirit?Born retrospective?No, because he needs his country to have only one voice!

"Even if uncle doesn't mind, but you do." August actually didn't plan to share this with the Black Prince so early, but today's talk has already reached this point, so August prepared accordingly Untie this knot with the Black Prince, "I understand everything, so I never blamed you. Because I am the same for Little Richard, I don't want to ruin my brotherhood with him by a cold chair. People Everyone wants that chair, do I want it? Of course I have thought about it too. But when family love is on the other side of the scale, the chair is not so important."

The Black Prince was really shocked this time. He looked at August in front of him, as if something cleared the fog in front of him, making him realize clearly that his son is no longer the one he used to be. The little Douding who hugged his neck and acted like a baby, he has already grown up and become an excellent adult who will not lose to anyone.

"I have already made up my mind. After a while, I will help Richard deter the ghosts and monsters in the parliament, and I will leave to study."

Such things as rights are addictive, and August cannot guarantee that he will not get lost in it, so he can only use the most stupid way to stay away.The reason why he didn't give up at the beginning was also because Richard III was too young and his ears were so soft, he was really afraid that his little cousin would be swallowed alive if he didn't pay attention.

But in the final analysis, Richard III is the king of England, and August cannot always protect him under his wings.

August has now almost figured out that the Archbishop of Camberley is the real protector of the lord, but Richard III's mother's side does not stop, and Queen Catherine is also without Richard II and Mary After Madam restrained her, she had her own thoughts.After cleaning up these people, I dare not say that the court will be clean, but at least it will give Richard III a space that is neither particularly dangerous nor enough for him to learn and grow.

"I'm at the age when I should go to Cambridge for university, and my Hogwarts is still waiting for me."

The Black Prince watched his son quietly for a long time, so long that August felt awkward, the tall tough guy hugged his son and said.

The former black prince only wanted to make up for the missing childhood of himself and Joan on August, so that he would not be like his parents or two uncles, living a life that seemed to be well-clothed but miserable. Life.He is willing to protect August for the rest of his life, even if he never grows up, it doesn't matter, because growing up is always accompanied by pain, the pain that the Black Prince doesn't want his son to experience.

But August still grew up. I don’t know if he has experienced pain, but at least he can be sure that he is happy, voluntary, with a mature and natural attitude towards growing up.

When the time comes, you will grow up, and the parents should let go.

"Do what you want, Dad will always support you."

While August was moved, he still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Does it also include the fact that I like Yael?"

"Including!" Prince Hei solemnly promised his son, "Papa keeps what he says!"

He compromised, not because he felt guilty towards Rafael, nor because he felt that his son could not find anyone better than Rafael, but because he understood that his son really liked Rafael Er's.

This one reason alone is enough, worth tens of thousands of "I disagree".

Because his son's happiness is the most important thing.
