Chapter 660 The Queen Ascends the Throne (Part 2)

"teacher……?"

Ilsa, who wrapped herself in the quilt, hugged her knees and sat on the edge of the bed, slowly raised her head and looked at Su Cheng, who was standing in front of her.

Although there were no lights in the room and it was dark all around, Su Cheng, who had just adapted to the darkness, could clearly see Ilsa's current appearance.

Ilsa was wearing an ordinary single suit, and her beautiful purple eyes were filled with tears and her eyes were red.

Pain, helplessness, helplessness...all kinds of emotions were revealed from Ilsa's beautiful purple eyes.

"Ilsa..."

Su Cheng murmured the helpless girl's name again, and took a few steps closer to Ilsa. After reaching the bedside, Su Cheng squatted down.

As soon as Su Cheng squatted down, Ilsa suddenly continued to say in her crying voice:

"Teacher...help me..."

Ilsa, with tears in her eyes, stretched out her little hands that were trembling slightly with fear, and tightly grasped Su Cheng's sleeves.

"I don't want to go out...I don't want to be an emperor...help me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ilsa finally couldn't bear it anymore, and big tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Why is this happening...I don't want to be an emperor...Why not let my father be the new emperor, but let me be the emperor...?"

"Help me...teacher..."

A few days ago——

December 25, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Gozevin's bedroom.

"Father. I'm here. Are you feeling well?"

After entering Ge Zewen's dormitory, Gale immediately asked about Ge Zewen's physical condition.

The year-end dinner was about to be held, and Gale, who was responsible for supervising and managing the road construction by the bandits, also rushed back to the Imperial Capital to prepare for this year's year-end dinner.

Not long after returning to the capital, Gale suddenly received a summons from Gozevin.

Gale happened to want to come quickly to see Gozewen, who was now ill, so after receiving Gozevin's summons, he immediately rushed to Gozevin's dormitory.

Under the intentional concealment of Jacob and Gozevin, only Gozevin, Jacob and the few doctors responsible for treating Gozevin knew that Gozevin was suffering from an incurable terminal illness at this time.

Others, including Gale and Ilsa, did not know that Gozevin was terminally ill. They only thought that Gozevin was just suffering from a serious illness that was difficult to cure.

After entering Ge Zewen's dormitory, Gale asked about Ge Zewen's physical condition.

While walking quickly to Ge Zewen's bed.

At this time, in addition to Gozevin and Gale, father and son, Jacob was also present in Gozevin's dormitory.

Jacob was standing beside Gozevin's bed at this time, his face expressionless.

As soon as Gale's greetings ended, Ge Zewen chuckled a few times:

"Don't worry, Gail. The treatment is going pretty well, but I'll probably have to stay in bed for a lot longer."

In order not to worry his son, and to prevent too many people from knowing that he was terminally ill, Ge Zewen lied that his treatment process was not bad.

"That's good." Gale smiled as if he was relieved, "Father, you should also pay more attention to your health. After all, you are old. When you get better this time, you should pay more attention to your diet and health. Rest."

"Hahaha, you too, Gale. You should also pay more attention to your body, pay more attention to rest and diet."

…

The father and son exchanged pleasantries after seeing each other for a long time.

However, not long after the pleasantries, Ge Zewen suddenly asked Gale with a serious face:

"Gale, do you love this country and the Britannia Empire?"

After hearing Ge Zewen's sudden question, Gale was stunned for a moment.

Then almost like a conditioned reflex, Gale immediately replied:

"Of course I love you! I have always worked hard with the goal of making the Britannia Empire prosperous and strong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gale paused.

Then he asked Ge Zewen:

"Father, why do you ask me this suddenly?"

"..." Ge Zewen was silent.

After a moment of silence, Ge Zewen said in a deep voice:

"Gale, since you have been working hard to make the Britannia Empire prosperous and strong, are you willing to make some sacrifices?"

Without waiting for Gale to answer, Gozevin continued:

"Gale. I am older now, and my energy, mental flexibility, etc. are not as good as before."

"So - I plan to abdicate."

"I want to pass the throne to someone more suitable to sit on this seat."

"Gale...I don't think you are suitable to be emperor."

"So I plan to change the crown prince of our country to Ilsa."

"Ilsa will be the next emperor."

After Ge Zewen finished speaking, the entire dormitory fell into a long silence.

Gale, Gozevin, and Jacob, who was standing beside the bed, said nothing.

Both Gozevin and Jacob looked at Gale quietly.

Gale, on the other hand, looked at Gozevin in front of him with a shocked and helpless expression.

After a long time, Gale finally recovered and gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Father...you mean...do you think Ilsa is more suitable to be emperor than me...?"

"...Yes." Ge Zewen nodded.

"Father! Why?!"

Gail said in an uncontrolled voice:

"Father! Why do you think that Ilsa, who is less than 10 years old, is more suitable to succeed as the new emperor of the Britannia Empire than me, who has been the crown prince for so many years!"

"...Gail, your personal ability is very outstanding. From the perspective of ability, there is no problem for you to be the new emperor of this empire."

"But--the flaws in your character are too big."

At this point, Gozewen sighed lightly, and then continued:

"You don't know how to sympathize with your subordinates and your people."

"Every official and civilian who has worked under you is miserable."

"What impressed me most was that one time you were asked to supervise and manage a group of civilians to repair the waterway."

"You completed this task very well, but the civilians under your management were almost rioted by you."

"For a long time, the impeachment accusing you of being too harsh on people and not knowing how to sympathize has never stopped."

"If I pass the throne to you, I dare not imagine what the future of the empire will be like."

"I can't bear to see the great situation that the empire has finally achieved so hard to be ruined like this."

"Although Ilsa is young, she is a smart child. Every teacher responsible for teaching her is full of praise for Ilsa's intelligence."

"Ilsa is also a gentle child. She is approachable, friendly and considerate of others. Not long ago, when she followed the bandit army to march westward, her kindness and friendliness made her gain a lot of popularity in the army. Huge popularity.”

"With her intelligence, coupled with her benevolence, I believe that when Ilsa becomes an adult and grows up, she will become a good monarch and continue the current good situation of our empire."

"Although she is still young and cannot handle government affairs well, as long as you and Jacob help me, I believe Ilsa will be able to adapt to the role of queen quickly and do a good job in it."

"So - Gale, are you willing to give up your position as crown prince for the sake of our empire, and give up your position as crown prince and future throne to your daughter?"

Gozevin asked Gale this question again.

"..." Gale did not answer immediately, but tightened his mouth.

His hands were clenched tightly unconsciously.

Jacob, who was standing by, also stared at Gale.

If Gale made any unusual moves, Jacob would immediately rush over and suppress him.

Although he had not practiced martial arts for many years, he was once called "Sword Saint" when he was young. Even though he had not practiced martial arts for decades, his muscles still retained the memory of fighting with others.

After a long silence, Gale said in a hoarse voice:

"...Since my father thinks that Ilsa is more suitable to be the emperor of the Britannia Empire than me, then for this country that I love deeply, I am willing to..."

At this point, Gale pursed his lips again, gritted his teeth, and gathered all his strength on his vocal cords and tongue, so that his tongue could continue to rotate well and his vocal cords could continue to work well:

"...Give up the position of crown prince and let Ilsa become the new crown prince of our empire..."

After that, Gale seemed to have lost all his strength, drooping his head with a blank expression.

"Okay." Gozewen smiled as if relieved, "Then-Jacob, go and call Ilsa for me."
