The third rule of the Blue Star hooligan, if you want to take the position of a big hooligan, you must first overturn the original hooligan leader.

To put it mildly, the rise of a country is to be truly recognized by the world, and its respect must be found in the defeat of the strongest opponent on the battlefield, after all, the identity of a strong man is built on the body of another defeated strong man.

For Alfheim, the significance of Charlemagne's existence is as important as that of France to Prussia during the Franco-Prussian War, and Russia to Japan during the Russo-Japanese War. In short, if you want to get to the position of a big hooligan, you have to find the strongest guy and not the weakest guy to practice. In the process of growing up in Alfheim, Charlemagne, a deliberately shaped military power, was the best "sparring partner", and this kind of thing was destined to be unpleasant for Charlemagne.

If the strategy had gone smoothly and the War of Independence had been won, the world would not have been immediately peaceful. Due to a series of differences and contradictions such as ideology, border disputes, religious beliefs, overseas interests, political systems, and trade deficits, a series of wars will still break out between the two camps of humans and elves. Until one side establishes superiority or both sides lose the ability to continue the war, the flames of war will continue to burn, and a new order will emerge from the ashes.

In this grand and cruel process, the life and happiness of a fragile girl will be swallowed up by the torrent, and there will be no scum left.

Regardless of these brutal wars in the distant future, the invisible racial antagonism that would have been enough to make it difficult for Minerva to live with herself after marrying into the V.E Company - Roland, who had experienced it firsthand, could have fully foreseen and asserted.

Even if there is no racial conflict. The potential contradictions between the monopoly chaebols and the feudal aristocracy's different interests, including political rights, and Charlemagne's own accumulated institutional problems, will one day erupt and then evolve into fierce conflicts -- all kinds of bad predictions cast a heavy shadow over the future of this marriage.

"What if...... I mean, if one day the company and the kingdom come into conflict, how are you going to deal with yourself?"

Roland looked at Minerva calmly, sympathy and guilt roaming through his body, his cheeks tense, trying not to let his apprehension come out.

He was well aware that this multiple-choice question was not fair to Minerva. It is also inappropriate for her to take a stand now. And there is no need. But even if you don't want to answer, you don't want to think, the problem doesn't go away for no reason, that's the reality.

Roland has the option of having sex with Minerva tonight. And then maintained an emotionless marriage. At the same time, they stay out of the way. Like an outsider, he watched the situation slip into the irreparable - he could have dealt with it so irresponsibly, after all, from the very beginning, there was no existence of his personal will in this marriage. As for Minerva, no one sees her as a human being, everyone treats her as a card in a gambling game, and she herself does not feel any sadness or pain about it. In this case, it is better to go with the flow and end up relaxed-

It's very easy and there is no responsibility, and no one has the right to say anything about it.

That's exactly what Roland hates the most.

Bow down to the unreasonable fate of the people, stop thinking for yourself, just go with the flow, and interpret life according to the trajectory laid by others.

This sad and terrible thing is difficult for Roland to accept.

He also knew how powerful the power of the king and the power of his adoptive father were, especially the latter, whose personal will and determination were as insignificant as dust in the face of that simple and overwhelming power.

Despite this, Roland hoped that Minerva would be able to think for himself and make judgments. Instead of allowing the world and transcendent beings above humanity to distort values, deprive them of the right to choose, and clearly hold the wisdom and will to survive, they have to stifle the nature of the intelligent species, live according to the situation in front of them, and then die meaninglessly - this is no longer sorrow, but rather an unreasonable process.

"Even if it's just a little, I hope ...... Minerva can think about her own business. ”

Sincerely, without any calculations, as simple as a child and a little naïve.

That innocence stung Minerva.

"You ...... guy"

The girl's stunned face changed color, and the shy pink was replaced by an angry flush of indignation.

"What do you know? How dare you speak so loudly!"

As a royal family, they are not just high, but also bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations, which is a proof of their innate nobility. It was precisely because it was a royal family that it was not allowed to evade responsibilities and obligations, which was the absolute definition for Minerva, so although reluctantly, he accepted the marriage arrangement with Roland.

Married to Roland, living a life of husband and wife, having children and raising a qualified heir, becoming a symbol of the symbiotic relationship between V.E Company and Charlemagne - these things can only be done by Minerva.

It is incumbent upon her to do so in the good interest of the country. Neither pain nor sorrow, Minerva's dignity and values did not allow him to escape from his responsibilities.

Roland's request to "think for yourself" is tantamount to a total rejection of these.

"How arrogant do you be! Obviously just a bystander, but irresponsible nonsense! Have you really experienced the pressure of responsibility, the pressure of being expected of others?! Have you ever carried that weight on your own shoulders?!!

“......”

Tears glistened to the edge of his eyes again, Minerva got up angrily, glanced at Roland who wanted to speak with a tragic expression, turned around and slammed the door without looking back, wiping away the tears that came out of his eyes, while running down the corridor, the cry of "Minerva, wait a ......minute!" came, and the girl in her pajamas just quickened her pace and left the boy's call in frenzy and fear. It wasn't until he could no longer hear that his biting lips leaked out intermittent sobs.

"You, what a wooden idiot, since she threw herself into her arms, won't it be over when she pushes it?"

Freya sighed helplessly from behind, only to hear her say in a slightly reproachful tone:

"That girl is more responsible than she seems...... Well, instead of letting the family go back to the room crying like this, how about giving her a scar as she wishes?"

"Even if she knew it would be painful for her whole life?"

She must have realized this herself. ”

Freya shrugged, her face indifferent.

V.E and Charlemagne decided to adopt an alliance only on the basis of a temporary strong relationship, and how unreliable this alliance is based on interests can be seen by looking at how the two sides calculated how to solve each other in the future before the alliance was formed.

It is impossible for Minerva, who has been immersed in imperial education for many years, not to see this, and it is impossible for her not to know that she will be the first victim when V.E and Charlemagne clash one day...... and offerings.

Wise so, but calmly accepted, it can only be said that she has given up rebelling against fate and sees herself as an object.

"Maybe it's not that strict, but if that's her values, we don't need to talk too much. Self-talking preaching is just arrogance. ”

Freya glanced meaningfully at Roland, then turned away from the sullen teenager.

"No...... That's not true. ”

Roland whispered softly to Freya's back like a lost child.

"Human ...... It's not a chess piece......" (To be continued......)
