The Golden Age: Colotia I

"You're not doing well at all." Olivier held up Marguerite's chin, examined her face carefully, and said in a positive tone.

"...Who said that?" Although tears of joy and pain were still on her cheeks, Margaret turned her face away and retorted stubbornly, "I got everything I wanted!"

Olivier didn't care about this childish retort, and smiled indulgently. He hugged Margaret pitifully: "Do you really think that you have got everything you want? If you really think so, you will Not Margot, but Wicca."

"How well do you know me?"

"You are my sister, can't I understand you?" Olivier hugged her gently again, "Margot, you don't have to hold on anymore, brother is back, you can tell me if you have any grievances .”

These dear words warmed Margaret's cold heart, her eyes gradually melted, and a mist of tears floated to her eyes again, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her heart was so depressed that she couldn't say anything.

Olivier looked into her eyes and could see that she was very agitated, but she suddenly bent over and vomited violently.

"Margo! What's the matter with you!" Olivier was taken aback. He hurriedly supported her, let her sit down, and wanted to call her maid in, but Marguerite grabbed his sleeve, raised her face and begged Looking at him, Olivier was shocked by the despair in her eyes, she suddenly lowered her head again, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.

"What's wrong with you?" From her abnormal reaction, Olivier faintly sensed that something happened to this little sister.

Margaret just doesn't speak.

Olivier didn't force her to ask, but just patted her on the back lightly.

After a long time, Margaret spit out a few words intermittently from the whimper between her fingers: "Brother...Brother..."

"……What's wrong?"

"I... I was wrong... I did something wrong..."

"...Don't be afraid, what did you do wrong? Tell brother."

"I... I'm pregnant."

After being taken aback, Margaret imagined that Olivier's reprimand did not appear, and she felt Olivier gently kissing the top of her head: "...So, who is the father of this little guy?"

"I...I don't know..."

The soft kiss stopped suddenly, and Marguerite suddenly felt an uncontrollable fear strike out of thin air, and her hand grabbed Olivier's arm like a drowning person.

However, the soft kiss fell again, and Olivier sighed softly: "My poor Margot..."

She couldn't control it anymore, and buried her head in Olivier's arms, letting the hot tears wet his skirt.

When the ministers of the Empire woke up the next morning and saw the headlines of the Imperial Daily, they all felt their eyes were dazzled.

"What? How is this possible?"

"Either the emperor is crazy, or I am crazy! Or the world is crazy!"

"All today's trips are cancelled! I'm going to meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

But all the doubts could not be compared to the black and white words in the newspaper. Margaret I announced that the so-called "treason" behavior of Prince Oliver Treizeanor of Greenwest before was pure nonsense and that it was Princess Ludwika's regency. One of the many injustices that happened.Now, as the current monarch of the empire, she announced that she would return all the mansions and authority owned by Prince Greenwest, and appoint him as the prince regent of the empire, who can issue orders in place of His Majesty the Emperor.

This news was like a bomb, which not only made the imperial officials dizzy, but even ordinary people were confused: Isn't it the prince who was said to be a traitor before?Now he has become the Prince Regent in the blink of an eye, which has changed too fast!

As a result, such rumors gradually spread: it was said that Prince Greenwest colluded with Libel's Queen, imprisoned the emperor, and monopolized the power by himself, all of which were for the purpose of selling the country to Libel in the future...

As if to confirm the rumors, all the ministers who went to the palace were stopped, and no one was able to see the emperor, and the person in charge of the palace guards was none other than Milo van der's subordinates.

This made many officials shut their mouths and stop expressing their opinions. Now that the Vander family has been controlled by Olivet, it is hard to say who the future of the empire belongs to. They are all smart people and know when to speak. When not to speak.

While everyone was secretly speculating and discussing in private, Margaret I, who had not appeared in the public eye for a long time, appeared in front of everyone through TV broadcast.People were surprised to find that since His Majesty stopped holding balls, his whole temperament has changed.

Although her body was thin and pale, and a thick shawl was wrapped around her shoulders, her face was calm, as if a kind of feminine beauty had appeared on her overnight.

This TV broadcast was open to reporters, so reporters from various countries rushed to the palace, and Her Majesty's answer to their questions confirmed that the previous newspapers were true or false, that Prince Greenwest had indeed returned to the empire, and I don't know what method was used to make the empress docile to him.

"This is what we expected a long time ago! Ever since she came to the throne, I knew that there would be such a day sooner or later! Everyone knows that she has the best relationship with Prince Greenwest!" Duke Oaklo of the aristocratic faction faced his own The madam complained frantically, "Look, ma'am, this is definitely a conspiracy by the two of them, that Mrs. Langheim, who betrayed her own background, is close to those guys from the constitutionalists..."

It's a pity that his wife was a former good friend of Odette Langheim, and she interrupted the Duke impatiently: "Come on! Have you forgotten how you pursued dear Odette in the first place? If it weren't for her If I reject you, I'm afraid you don't know what the constitutionalists do!"

The Duke of Oaklo's old face was flushed, who wouldn't want to pick that imperial rose back then?He coughed twice, ignored his wife, and said impassionedly: "...Even if I let them succeed now, I don't believe that old fox Osborne will be obedient!" He actually pinned his hopes on the nobles It can be seen that even he knows that the constitutionalists and part of the army have already entered the hands of Olivier, and the rest depends on the attitude of the prime minister.

To everyone's surprise, Osborne severely reprimanded those who doubted the queen in the regular meeting, and expressed his support for all the decisions of Margaret I, which made the popularity of the aristocracy crooked.

"They are playing with us!" It is a pity that they have been defeated by Osborne's forces many years ago, and these nobles who are still alive are no longer worthy of the glory of the family.

Therefore, no matter what they guessed about Olivier, Margaret, Osborne, and Vandel, what happened still happened. Olivier took over the empire smoothly and very naturally, and it seemed that there were actual masters. shadow.

Not as everyone expected, Olivet will start drastic reforms, he just did one thing: restore the legal status of the constitutionalists in the state power.

He fulfilled his promise, while at the same time bringing a new wind to the future of the empire.Perhaps the constitution will not take shape immediately, but with the seed planted by Olivet, who will say that in the near future, there will not be any more advanced system based in this long-standing traditional country?

The war in the continent of Semria has received the signal of ending in the quelling of the civil strife in one country after another, but the last force is still missing, so the prince who has just settled down for a long time decided to personally command the last One stop, then, who will handle the internal affairs of the empire with Margaret I, who seems to be retiring?

Everyone knows that Prime Minister Osborne and Olivet are not at odds, and everyone knows that the Prime Minister played a crucial role when Olivet took back his power. Everyone is watching what the regent will do .

Oliver used Osborne.

His subordinates questioned his decision, but he just smiled: "Since I dare to use him, I will not doubt him; if I doubt him, I will never use him." There is another layer hidden in this sentence Meaning; he wasn't at all afraid of what Osborne might do.

Osborne seemed to have become Olivier's closest comrade-in-arms in an instant, but perhaps this was one of the most correct things he did on the way from middle age to old age. Many years later, Osborne wrote in his memoirs So write.

At this time, what is Olivier doing?He was sitting with his sister and asked her with concern, "Margo, are you really going to do this?"

"Yes." The young future mother nodded, a happy radiance appeared on her face, if the people in the church saw it, maybe they would praise the coming of the Virgin Mary loudly, that holy and happy light is so Beautiful, even bringing a sweet blush to her pale complexion.

"When he is born, I will take him away from here..." She stroked her belly tenderly, "I will not let my child live in this environment again, I will take him away to a place full of A place of flowers and sunshine...I want him to enjoy the world."

"Brother, you will help me, right?" She blinked with a sly look in her eyes, "For me and your dear little nephew, you will definitely take care of this country after I leave, let us Live happily wherever you are, right?"

Olivier smiled. He stroked Margaret's hair lovingly, and said softly, "Of course, of course I will."

"Then, it's my turn to ask you." Margaret blinked, "Do you really... want to see her?"

They all knew who that "she" was.

"Yes, this is one of the purposes of my coming back." Olivier nodded. "Of course I'm going to see her, my sister Wicca."

"Hmph, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at a loser? The Prince Regent?" Strong irony was revealed from the words, Ludwika sat in her palace, looked at Olivier in front of her, and said coldly .

Olivier sat across from Ludwika. In the dark palace, only a beam of light slanted in through the half-covered window, making the shadows of the two of them slender.Ludwika was hidden in the shadows, but her pale cheeks shone with a radiance, as if Olivier's return had stirred her instincts, a proud, fighting woman by nature.

"Why is this so, Wika... sister," Olivier sighed for a long time, "You think, in this world now, I can't be said to be the only one who supports you, but I can always guarantee that I will never Why are you so disgusted with me?" His eyes suddenly flashed a long-lost softness, Ludwika had never seen such a look in his eyes, she vaguely remembered something, but The memory was fleeting, too fast for her to capture.

"I swear, I never want to laugh at you. In fact, sister, if you want, I will always take care of you. Whether you want to go to your fief or stay here, I am willing to follow your wishes." Levi turned to Ludwika sincerely, "Even if it's for Brother Al, I will always take care of you, if you want."

"Take care of me?" Ludwika's lips trembled. She stood up suddenly, waving her arms and shouted loudly, "Is this how you take care of me? Lock me up in one place and never see the light of day! Everything is under your noses!"

She became more and more excited: "...all my ambitions and all my honors have been wiped out. This is how you take care of me?!"

"Allow me to go to my fief?!" She moved her face closer to Olivier, and he could even see her long eyelashes clearly, "Are you going to keep imprisoning me in my fief! Don't say it so nicely!"

"No, sister, I will do what I said. I will let you return to the fief, to enjoy life instead of imprisonment."

"Oh," Ludwika sneered, "are you not afraid that I will seize your rights and status again?"

Olivier smiled: "Believe me, sister, you won't have such a chance."

"Whether you are willing to settle down or not, you will no longer have any influence on me, because you are no longer my threat."

Ludwika sat down slumped, her eyes flickered with a dim light, Olivier said softly: "Sister, no matter what you think, I am a member of the 'Golden Horse' family, I will not harm Erepo Nia... As for you, you should be very clear in your heart. The arrangement I am making for you now is the greatest tolerance... As long as you are obedient. You don't want the country left by Brother Al and his father to be destroyed like this In the hands of our brothers and sisters."

The tea in the cup is already cold.

Ludwika understood that Olivier's arrangement for her was sincere, because it would be impossible for anyone else to treat her so tolerantly, and they would strangle her in this palace... She suddenly shuddered .

After that, they didn't talk to each other anymore. The siblings, who were not particularly close, would not have any more in-depth conversations under the current circumstances.

After sitting silently for a while, Olivier decided to leave. He kissed Ludwika's hand, turned and walked towards the door.

Just as he walked to the door, Ludwika suddenly asked: "...Why did you..." Her voice became weak for the first time after seeing Olivier, and she didn't finish her sentence.

"No reason." Olivier turned around, his eyes filled with tenderness again, "If you have to find a reason... Sister, do you still remember the first time I came to the court?"

He was still very young then, but being a mother and a father had made this immature child precocious, and he remembered walking along the garden path, surrounded by the voices of the nobles whispering:

"...look at that kid..."

"That child's mother is really...she's a Constitutionalist..."

His face was pale, but he tried his best to pretend that he didn't hear anything. He held his head high and let the tears swirl in his eyes. Mulla was his only friend, but he couldn't stop such rumors.

At this time, the blond little princess took her sickly brother and stood proudly in front of him, scolding those people loudly: "Is this what you call noble etiquette?" She sneered and said, although young, There is an awe-inspiring aura.

Those people backed away under her reprimand, and she knocked on Olivier's forehead heavily, scolding him angrily: "It's really useless!"

Then she took his hand: "If anyone bullies you in the future, come and tell me!"

Olivier nodded, he could feel the warmth of her warm hand.

This kind of thing never happened again as they grew up, and Ludwika gradually forgot all of this, the once sweet and childish time.

Olivier's reminder didn't remind her of anything, only some vague impressions flashed in her mind, and Olivier didn't say anything more, the soft and friendly eyes in his eyes were just like those of the young Children, look up to this sister.

Finally, he said softly: "No matter what... I will never forget the love and care you gave me, my dear sister Wika."

"...In [-] of the Seven Years Calendar, Margaret I abdicated as Prince Oliver Trezzianol of Greenwest. It took [-] months and [-] days from enthronement to abdication, and she was known as the 'September Queen' in history."

"...Prince Greenwest ascended the throne and became Oliver I. So far, the history of the Erebonian Empire has opened a new page."

——The above is excerpted from "Historical Manuscripts of the Erebonian Empire",

"...It is rumored that Margaret I returned to the fief after she abdicated, and has lived in seclusion since then, but someone once claimed that he saw a beautiful woman with a child on Maywell Sea Road, whose face was very similar to the photo of Margaret I, It is suspected to be a rumour."
