But at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Oberstein visited Gilfies' office in the base camp.

Gilfies really didn't expect him to do this, but think about it carefully... why would he not do it?Now there is nothing against logic in this situation.

And Reinhardt is on another floor, if necessary, I can get in touch with him as quickly as possible, no one can seize any opportunities or loopholes.

so be it.

Perhaps because of the conversation in the sunset view room that day, Gilfies has indeed gained a relatively stable self-confidence now, and he doesn't feel that there is anything he can't face Oberstein.

Without further consideration, he ordered his secretary to invite him in.

Oberstein didn't look like he was looking for trouble, either.Even when they greeted each other and sat down together, the atmosphere in the room was even good.

Then, there was no need for Gilfies to speak, Oberstein took the initiative to confess his intentions—"It's about sending troops to Al Fasher this time, what do you think?"

"I don't have any opinion." Gilfies answered him like this, of course his tone was still soft.

Oberstein seemed to have expected this attitude, and he didn't mind it.Without changing his expression at all, he said to him very naturally: "Actually you are the best candidate for this operation."

Of course Gilfies understood this very well. In fact, he and the emperor had already negotiated that he would lead the troops, but he would not tell Oberstein about it.

"Is that so?" He smiled gently, "But no matter who is the best candidate, His Majesty will decide everything in the end. We just need to wait for the order."

"Your Majesty is hesitating—out of concern and concern for you."

"His Majesty has no reason to worry or worry about me."

Then, although it felt unbelievable, Gilfies did see a slight change in Oberstein's expression.Although he still had a straight face on the whole, Gilfies could feel that he no longer intended to use superficial rhetoric to deal with him.

His judgment was correct.

Then Oberstein started talking to him really clearly and directly.

"Your position is dangerous, and your actions are even more dangerous. Your Majesty certainly has reason to worry about you."

"Oh?"

"For example, privately intercepting news from the emperor's office, trying to deceive His Majesty and the like."

Gilfies has indeed done such a thing, so he doesn't think the current situation is anything surprising-there has never been an impenetrable wall in the world.And since he dared to do this at the time, he would not be afraid to bear the consequences.

"Then you should report directly to His Majesty instead of coming to inform me." He replied Oberstein.

For a moment, Oberstein's expression seemed a little meaningful.

However, he still didn't show any unkindness: "I'm not that naive, Your Highness—I don't intend to challenge your position before Your Majesty, because I know I won't succeed." At this time, he He put the folder he brought with him on the table, and pushed it in front of Gilfies, "Actually, I interfered with this matter a little bit."

Suspicion arose in his heart, Gilfies picked up the folder and opened it, and then the content, origin, and maker of the rumors about him a while ago were all recorded, and the suspects were interrogated very carefully. Through these people, Oberstein found many spies from the Alliance.

... So, this matter turned out to be subsided in this way.

Gilfies suddenly didn't know what to say. After all, Oberstein did help him from this matter alone, but the reason why he helped him was so subtle and confusing.

Of course, it is impossible for him to change his opinion of him or relax his vigilance because of this.

After a short silence, Gilfies raised his head from the document: "So?" His expression was as calm as before.

"So, please understand that I mean no ill will to you. I understand very well that it is not you who are in danger, but only your position—please don't tell me that a man like you would not be aware of this."

Now Gilfies couldn't continue to pretend to be indifferent. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't speak any more. He just looked at Oberstein who was sitting opposite him, and grasped a little with his hand on the armrest of the sofa. .

Seeing that he didn't mean to answer, Oberstein continued: "The relationship between Your Majesty and you is very deep. I didn't realize this correctly before...but now I have it very clearly, so I know that I You should talk to you instead of His Majesty—this has nothing to do with loyalty or friendship. Your position will almost certainly bring danger to you and everyone including Your Majesty. Countless people will always stare at you. Your Majesty is wise but no one can. Make sure he is never blinded or misled. As everyone knows, no one is ever absolutely perfect, and if there is, there are too many ways for a person to be less than perfect."

"...I absolutely trust His Majesty." After a short silence, Gilfies said this.

"Wishes are always good." Oberstein shook his head, "I also trust His Majesty, but I also understand that sometimes things can develop completely beyond his expectations."

"Because you are afraid of risks, do you have to give up your feelings, hide yourself, put away your hands and your own opinions and refuse to support, or even abandon the other party?"

"Of course I don't mean that, my dear sir. You are indeed special. Even a magician can't make you not special. All you need to do is to take a step back and let you and His Majesty leave you alone." It’s just space to breathe freely.”

"Sorry. It seems to me that this request is really ridiculous."

"Although we can be considered to have settled old grievances... But please believe that what I said today is not a bad word. His Majesty needs you, and your existence will also bring positive influence to His Majesty, making the country's rule more stable. - I admit it all, and do think so. I don't want such a stable and reliable structure to be destroyed someday because of something that is completely avoidable. And as long as you hold back a little, such things will not have a chance occur."

A long silence followed.

Finally, Gilfies spoke: "...Then what do you want me to do?"

"This can be discussed later. The key is that you can accept my opinion, and at the same time try to use a more cautious attitude to see the friendship between you and His Majesty."

Gilfies almost sighed: "Unfortunately, it may not be so easy for me to learn these. I can only say that if you want me to lead the army this time, you can do so. At the same time, I will not interfere with you What I intend to do is as important to the country as you are to me."

The concessions made by Gilfies are actually not small, and since he can agree to these, it is not very far from agreeing to others—Oberstein knows that once one person starts to waver, the ones that follow will follow. It is a greater shake.

Everything can be taken slowly.

"Okay. We can talk about many things slowly. I understand your wishes and attitude. I know you can't be more sincere to Your Majesty." Nodding, Oberstein finally picked up the teacup that had been on the table and drank Take a sip.After putting down the teacup, he said calmly and indifferently: "Please protect yourself and this country—although His Majesty once promised to kill you immediately if necessary, I don't want this to come true. "

The room fell silent.

Oberstein originally thought that when he heard the unfortunate news, the other party should show an expected and extremely calm expression.No matter how bad he is, he will be surprised at most, and then he will start to be sad, sad, and grievous for himself, and he may get angry and make a fuss or something.But in the end, he will be able to figure out what a real king has to abide by, become sober and calm, and embark on a relatively normal and not overly dangerous path.

But unexpectedly, Gilfies' performance was not like this.

After hearing this sentence, he was stunned.Then for about a minute or so, he was in a state of complete ignorance, as if he couldn't understand what the person on the other side was saying, didn't understand what happened, and didn't know what day or night .

Even his expression was completely blank.

Then, after a long delay, he was suddenly able to move again, and with an extremely nervous expression, it seemed that a dying person began to flash back: "Can you repeat what you just said?"

Oberstein felt that something was wrong, so he didn't do what Gilfies asked.But even if he didn't do so, Gilfies still understood—he was neither deaf nor forgot how to speak human language, he just couldn't accept what the other party said just now.

His breathing became chaotic and difficult, his lips quickly lost color, and his face began to turn blue.This change was so drastic that Oberstein began to consider whether to call a doctor immediately, but then Gilfies acted decisively—he suddenly stood up and opened the door without saying hello to Oberstein walked out.

Oberstein sat there alone, and after a while he realized that things might be troublesome.

He had to stand up and follow out.
