Chapter 1,289 Dominic Dies of Illness

Seeing Vasili come out, the three young men standing in front of Dominic's room quickly bowed to Vasily and saluted.

Vasily recognized them at a glance - these three people were Dominic's three students.

Vasili moved his gaze, passing through the faces of these three people one by one.

Finally, Vasily's eyes were fixed on Camille.

——Is she Camille...

The corners of Vasili's mouth turned up slightly, imperceptibly.

——Huh, Dominic is really sick and confused.

——He actually recommended such a little girl to be the prime minister of our country.

After Vasily thought to himself disdainfully, he stopped looking at Vasili and the others and walked straight out of the house.

…

…

After Vasily left, Dominic began to call El and others into the house one by one.

The first person called into the room was Gabriel.

"Gabriel."

Looking at Gabriel by the bed, a smile appeared on Dominic's face.

"It was several years ago that I adopted you three from the slums."

"The three unemployed people at that time have become talents now."

"I am relieved."

"I have no wife or children in my life."

"I also don't like people calling me father or daddy."

"So I just let you call me teacher."

"But in my mind, I always treat you three as my sons and daughters."

"I probably won't survive today."

"Gabriel, you are the oldest of the three."

"After I am gone, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a brother and take good care of El and Camille."

"Especially Camille."

"She has a very strong ego."

"He also has a very stubborn temper. He has an unpleasant personality and can easily offend others."

"You must protect Camille."

"teacher……"

Gabriel, who was as strong as a bear, had already burst into tears.

…

…

The next person to enter the room was El.

"El..."

"teacher……"

Although El didn't burst into tears like Gabriel, his eyes were red.

"El..."

Dominic whispered.

"You have always...appeared to be indifferent to fame and wealth, and to have nothing to do with the world."

“Whether it’s when you’re living in the ghetto.”

"It was still after being adopted by me."

"But I know - you have always loved this country and hope that this country will get better."

"So, you bought the muskets from the prairie people and established an institution to develop the muskets."

"It is precisely because you love this country that you took on the task of bypassing the Eghar Mountains during Operation Hammer 4 years ago, and took the risk to capture Baidi City and rescued me, including myself. of many people.”

"I asked you before - why do you hide your talents and don't want to let them shine?"

"But you didn't answer my question at that time."

"Now...I probably won't have a chance to hear your answer again."

"I just want to know the answer to another question now."

"El...tell me the truth."

"If only one day."

"The Holy Hiran Empire encountered an invasion from a powerful enemy."

"Are you willing to step up and turn the tide?"

…

…

El was silent.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Then close it again.

He opened his mouth again.

Then close it again.

After an unknown amount of time, El nodded.

"...Well, if such a day comes, I will do my best."

Hearing El's words, a happy smile appeared on Dominic's face.

…

…

The last person to enter the room was Camille.

Compared to Gabriel and El, Camille's reaction was the dullest.

Didn't cry out loud.

His eyes were just slightly red, and his face was filled with sadness.

"Camille..."

Dominic looked at Camille with complicated eyes.

After a while, Dominic shed tears and said softly:

"Camille, run away."

"You can go anywhere, just flee the country."

"After all, I am a subject of the Holy Hiran Empire."

"As a subject, I must first give my loyalty."

"Finally, to take care of my family."

"In order to be loyal, I have proposed to Your Majesty to appoint you as the prime minister of our country."

"But His Majesty doesn't want to use you."

"Your talent is really terrifying."

"If you are asked to assist other countries, it will pose a huge threat to our country."

"So I asked Your Majesty to kill you..."

"Now, I have fulfilled my loyalty."

"I can fulfill my obligations as an adoptive father."

"Camille, run away."

"Before His Majesty kills you, quickly escape to a safe place."

Camille listened quietly.

There was no expression on his face.

It wasn't until she heard that Vasili was unwilling to use her that her pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock flashed across her face.

After Dominic finished speaking, Camille smiled slightly.

"Teacher, don't worry."

"I don't have to run away."

"Your Majesty did not listen to you and appointed me as prime minister."

"This shows that he doesn't take me seriously at all."

"Judging from His Majesty's willful character, do you think he would spend that much effort to kill someone he doesn't even care about?"

Speaking of this, Camille paused.

Then he sighed softly:

"Teacher, thank you for recommending me."

"Although you proposed to His Majesty to kill me after you failed to recommend me, I don't resent you at all."

"If there's no way to show off your talents, then forget it."

"Anyway - with my abilities, I can always live a good life."

After saying that, Camille leaned down and gently hugged Dominic, who was already in tears on the bed.

…

…

The year 296 of the Britannia Empire and the year 218 of the Holy Hiran Empire.

January 28th.

Marshal Dominik Kezlov, the first marshal of the Holy Hiran Empire, died of illness on this day.

Under Vasily's instructions, Dominic was buried ceremoniously in a cemetery in Ailemuya specially used to bury national heroes.

I don't know how many days passed before El gradually recovered from the sadness of Dominic's death.

The whole family instantly became deserted due to Dominic's passing.

Three days after Dominic passed away, Camille returned to her room with heavy steps.

These days, Camille has been feeling that her legs and feet are so heavy that she doesn’t even want to walk any longer.

Return to the room.

The first thing that caught my eye was the various books that filled the entire room.

Camille looked at the mountains of books in the room.

Sighed softly.

A wry smile appeared on her face.

"Can't you show off your talents..."

After murmuring like this, Camille slowly squatted on the ground as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart.
