The Golden Age: Colotia I

"Let's stay here for a while." Kolos said to Tida.

"Okay, I want to eat Mrs. Hildan's best coconut cake!" Tida said briskly, "I can do anything for my sister!"

"You should research some new force-guiding devices for Liberdo!" Ke Luosi smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

They are true friends. Mrs. Hildane sighed with relief. She could see that after Dr. Russell came, the Queen relaxed. Her expression and smile were so relaxed, happy and at ease.

For the next period of time, Tita accompanied Kolos, tasting new snacks and shopping in newly opened shops in Gransail City, like a teenager.The queen was so happy that she even forgot about Crown Prince Edward.

But Kolos is still the queen after all, so one day, when she was having afternoon tea with Tita, she suddenly asked, "What has Edward been doing lately?"

Tita put down her glass.

"His Highness has been busy dealing with government affairs recently, receiving envoys..." the personal maid who was summoned replied, it seemed that this was indeed the life a crown prince should have. The Queen frowned, and Tita looked at her worriedly.

"Go and invite the crown prince here, just say that I have something to talk to him about."

"Yes."

"Sister Ke Luosi, then I'll go out first..." Before Tida finished speaking, Ke Luosi smiled at her.

"No, Tita, it doesn't matter, that child is also counted as you watched grow up."

After listening to Mrs. Hildan whisper the whole thing, Tita watched the pale young man enter with a little sympathy and pity.His face was haggard, but his eyes were like a raging fire, and the suppressed flame was surprisingly bright under his icy pupils.

He walked in quietly and saw Tita who was sitting next to Kolotia: "Hello, Aunt Russell."

"Your Highness, hello." Tita smiled and pulled him to sit down, patted his shoulder tenderly, "You have grown up again."

Edward's face was stained with blood, which made him alive instantly: "Thank you for always thinking about me."

The queen was on the side and kept silent until Edward greeted her in a low voice. She said indifferently: "Have you considered what I said before? The deadline is almost up."

The young man raised his head, and he nodded: "Your Majesty, you will not be disappointed."

"I will obey your wishes until the last moment of my life." He knelt down on one knee, took Kolotia's hand, and kissed it lightly, his lips were cold and dry.

"You will always be my favorite aunt." He raised his head, that kind of fanatical fire seemed to be extinguished in an instant. At this moment, his eyes were clear, but they were stained with indelible sadness, but that had been replaced by a kind of perseverance. Locking it firmly, Kolotiya I smiled gratifiedly. Although she still didn't fully meet her requirements, she believed that the child's reason would control everything.Tita sighed softly beside her.

"You know, my Edward, your great-grandmother once told me," Colotia said leisurely, pulling up the crown prince, "to be a king, you need to pay a lot of unimaginable price, but when you see your happy When it comes to the country and its citizens, all sacrifices are worthwhile...I am glad you have such an awareness."

"Tida, this kid is always so reassuring, isn't he?"

Dr. Russell smiled, and the cuteness and sweetness of her girlhood came to her cheeks again: "Of course, he has always been our pride."

The crown prince sat down, his face still pale, and the queen caressed his messy purple hair: "See what you have done to yourself?"

"Your Majesty..." he said suddenly, his voice trembling imperceptibly, "please allow me to ask a question, but I really want to know... have you ever experienced the kind of crazy impulse you told me? Or the kind of Sanity maintenance?"

The queen paused for a moment and let it go. She looked at Edward silently. The complexions of Tita and Mrs. Hildan changed slightly, and the atmosphere of the whole palace suddenly fell into an inexplicable coldness.

"Hehe," the Queen suddenly chuckled twice, her eyes lost in confusion, "Yes, I once had them, and those are still kept in my heart. It is one of my best memories."

"...that impulse almost burned my whole body to ashes, I still remember the feeling at that time... the blood in my whole body seemed to be boiling..." Clodia I seemed to be caught in a distant memory, "At that time I'm desperate to throw myself into the flames that will destroy me... it's madness..."

"Sister Kolos..." Tita grabbed her hand.

"I must have been crazy at the time...Thinking about it now, those things really don't look like what I did. If at that time...then I would definitely regret it. He told me, you will regret it, use your reason to think about it... …for that, I am eternally grateful to him.”

"That person is Oliver I of Erebonia, right?" the crown prince said loudly.

With these words, the queen calmed down all of a sudden, she turned her head and looked at the crown prince with cold eyes.

Mrs. Hildan said loudly: "Your Highness, you have overstepped! This is not a question you should ask!"

After a long time, Clodia I's eyes gradually softened. She looked at the panic and unwillingness on the child's face, and said softly, "You are tired...my dear, go and rest."

Edward's eyes changed from panic to extreme guilt: "Aunt... I was wrong... I really didn't mean to ask about your privacy..."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have said this to you..." She whispered, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "You are tired, and I am too, it's time to rest, I won't remember what I said today, you Come on, I want to be quiet."

She hugged him and kissed him on the forehead: "Just remember that you are the future king of Liber, Edward V, and that's all."

"Aunt... Please forgive me..." The young man refused to leave, calling incoherently.

"I forgive you." This is just a child, she is not angry with him at all, all her mood swings come from the memories of that past, "You are too young, you won't understand... ..."

"That's not the kind of love you understand... At least I never thought it was love, and the impulse I'm talking about is definitely not what you think... Oh, I know what you're thinking," she said. He smiled wearily, "You must think I'm madly infatuated with Olivier."

"...No, my dear, it's a more complicated and deeper feeling," she thought, "like two stars in the universe coming together, leaning on each other in the dark. It's more stable and solemn , more inseparable...it combines attraction, attachment, love, appreciation, vigilance, understanding...all the emotions you know, it's family, friendship, love...everything, but on top of them."

"Are you asking if I love him? No, I don't love him...but I love him so deeply at the same time, how can I not love him?"

"I know he thinks so too."

"If I have to give a definition, I can say that in this world, we know each other's existence best."

It was another starry night, and everything was silent.

"Tita, stay with me." She was very tired.

"Okay, sister Kolos." She hasn't changed at all, she is still so cute and considerate.Fortunately, here, there is Tita Russell, my dear little sister...and where else, who else can accompany him?
