Chapter 376: Brothers Break Up
At this moment.
Will and Dresa's eyes widened slightly, looking at Rami in surprise.
Rami below at this time.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, grabbed Kazan's collar, looking at him with extremely angry eyes.
This is a very shocking thing.
Because Rami has a very good temper, even a bit weak; he is unwilling to argue with Kazan, and has never spoken to Kazan with this attitude all along.
Even Kazan himself was somewhat surprised.
His cowardly and childish brother actually dared to make a move on him?
"Rami, don't you understand what I said? The people and Pokémon of that town, dying is dying; I will make the Blessed Isles scum be buried with them ten times, a hundred times over. This is a good opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the Kingdom of the Blessed Isles."
Kazan slapped away Rami's hand casually, and took a step forward fiercely to knock him back,
"This opportunity is very rare. Since the opponent delivered it to the door, I have no reason not to accept it. Care a little about the big picture, my foolish brother."
Rami was knocked down by Kazan.
Just when everyone thought he would fall silent.
Will saw glimmering light in his eyes.
The next moment.
Rami stood up with a firm face, looking at Kazan:
"Have you asked the people of that town if they want to die or live? This kind of opportunity exchanged by sacrificing compatriots,
Don't take it out to embarrass yourself!"
"If you can't even protect your own subjects, then what's the meaning even if you unify this land!"
"Kazan, I once thought about whether it would be better for you to become the King of the Vale..."
"But now, my thoughts have changed. You don't care at all whether the People of the Vale can live more happily; you just want to fulfill your ambition."
"If you really become the King of the Vale, the people and Pokémon of this land will definitely never have a peaceful day."
"I've decided."
"I want to fight with you for this throne."
As Rami's words fell, the entire council hall was extremely silent.
All ministers dared not say a word.
Rami's gaze was extremely firm, looking at Kazan fearlessly.
And Kazan's eyes already had a few bloodshots; murderous intent began to condense in his eyes looking at Rami.
Will glanced at the two, unable to help sighing.
Finally came.
That future he originally thought had changed, finally came.
Kazan will absolutely not give up the throne.
Whoever fights with him for the throne, he wants whoever to die.
Even Will is no exception.
When Rami said that sentence, these two brothers broke up completely.
Turning to look at Dresa beside him.
His gaze fixed on Rami; the disappointment often appearing in his eyes in the past was now replaced by appreciation.
This gaze made Will's heart move uncontrollably.
Before today.
Will thought Dresa would definitely choose Kazan as the heir in the end.
But starting today.
He really couldn't guess Dresa's choice.
"Rami... you don't have that ability; don't think about things you shouldn't think about."
"Whether having that ability or not, is not up to you."
Rami and Kazan didn't give in to each other.
Although suppressed by a section in height, Rami's momentum didn't lose to Kazan at all.
Cough cough...
Dresa's cough sounded.
The tense atmosphere was instantly interrupted; everyone looked at the throne.
But saw a pool of bright red blood in Dresa's palm.
Will wasn't surprised by this.
As early as half a year ago, Dresa had already started vomiting blood.
That wasn't the initial hidden ailment, but other diseases suffered in these ten years.
Today's Dresa really has quite a few diseases, basically induced by the initial cardiovascular disease, or caused by lying in bed for a long time without seeing sunlight.
"Rami, this matter is handed over to you."
Dresa wiped the blood from his mouth casually on his clothes, looking at the eldest son below.
"Yes! Father King!"
Rami looked happy.
Turned and left with his subordinates.
On the other side, Kazan's face turned livid.
Father King chose Rami to do this matter, which means he thinks Rami is right and can do better than him.
Kazan clenched his fist, suppressing a fire in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at Dresa with complex eyes, then turned and left.
"State Preceptor, does that child Kazan hate me?"
Dresa watched the youngest son leave, looking at Will with a complex face.
So many years passed.
He also knew many of Will's abilities.
For example, can perceive the emotions in a person's heart.
"Not really, at most somewhat dissatisfied with your decision, suspecting whether you prefer Rami more."
"If I pass the throne to Rami, what will you do?"
"I will try my best to make Rami a qualified King."
"Thank you, State Preceptor."
Dresa smiled.
As long as he has Will's full support, he is not afraid of making the wrong choice.
Even if his choice is really wrong.
He believes Will will also turn it right.
"You plan to pass the throne to Rami?"
"Mm."
"Kazan that child is relatively extreme; I can't guarantee what things he will do. Maybe, might lead to the split of the Kingdom of the Vale."
Will sighed, informing Dresa of the result in advance.
In these five years.
He had too many things to do.
Dresa completely lost the energy to continue governing the country; all matters were handed over to Will to manage.
Will was busy maintaining the operation of the Kingdom of the Vale every day, and also had to deal with various small tricks from Blessed Isles and Plenty, having almost no time to pay attention to the growth of the two princes.
And the two princes are basically stationed in the council hall and military camp now, rarely meeting him.
To be honest.
What Rami and Kazan have grown into today.
Will really doesn't understand them somewhat.
Five years.
Changing a person is easy.
"But if passing to Kazan, I'm afraid the subjects of the Kingdom of the Vale will suffer a lot under Kazan, and more and more innocent people and Pokémon will be swept into this war, even becoming consumables in Kazan's hands. You also saw his appearance just now..."
Dresa's face showed worry and sorrow.
Looking at the current Dresa, Will couldn't help sighing.
Dresa is old after all.
The spirited King of the Vale ten years ago, now also hesitates and is indecisive because of a choice.
Heroes under heaven are like crucians crossing the river.
Time is best at making the genius back then mediocre, or even confused.
Also looking from the perspective of a King.
Letting Kazan become King is the better choice.
Rami is indeed more benevolent, desiring true peace.
If he can unify Unova, Will has no doubt that the Kingdom of the Vale will become the second Kingdom of Draconids.
But the problem is.
Current Rami doesn't have the ability to unify this land.
How can a person who is hesitant and indecisive even in fighting a battle lead a country to unify the entire continent?
Cannot unify the entire continent.
How to usher in true peace?
Will can help him; with him around, Rami can complete his ideal.
But Will cannot guarantee how long he can accompany him.
If the day Rami becomes King he disappears.
Even disappears suddenly today.
Then what is the ending of Rami becoming King?
Moreover.
Letting Rami become King, Kazan will definitely rebel.
100%.
Absolutely.
This also means, Rami wanting to lead the Kingdom of the Vale to unify Unova, has to deal with a huge internal turmoil first, getting rid of his own brother.
But if choosing to let Kazan become King.
Then with Rami's character, he will compromise and try his best to help him govern internally.
Brothers joining hands, taking down this Unova is easy.
More critically.
Kazan is different from Rami; his ability matches his ambition.
He has the ability to unify Unova.
Even if Kazan's purpose for doing so is not desiring peace, just to fulfill his ambition, to gain more people's awe.
But no matter what he is for, no matter what his means are.
At least what Kazan said, he can do it now.
Even if Will disappears the next second.
Kazan will also lead the Kingdom of the Vale to achieve unification, letting the entire Unova usher in at least decades of peace.
At most.
Under Kazan, people's happiness is far inferior to Rami.
But that's better than living in the era of war in deep water and scorching fire, right?
The road to peace must be a journey of blood.
Just that Kazan does it more utilitarianly and ruthlessly.
And Rami cannot accept this; he wants to finish this road in a more ideal way, leading more people.
He only knows.
He must do this.
But doesn't know.
Whether he can do it.
Perhaps.
Rami's confidence to do so is also believing in Will.
He feels even if he can't do it, Teacher will lead him to do it.
And Dresa choosing Rami is also believing in Will.
Thinking he will help Rami realize that beautiful future he looks forward to.
"State Preceptor, do you favor Kazan more?"
Dresa looked at Will carefully.
If State Preceptor thinks Kazan is more suitable for this position, then he will change his decision immediately.
"Regarding the heir, I won't speak to favor any one person. I will at most tell you what consequences you might face after choosing two people respectively; the rest is all up to you to decide."
Will shook his head; even if his heart is complicated, he doesn't plan to tell Dresa,
"In short, I will support the person you choose."
Both children are his disciples.
Palm and back of the hand are both flesh.
How to choose?
Choosing an heir is not something he should intervene in.
State Preceptor only needs to assist the future King with all his might.
If Will were the King, for the future of the Kingdom of the Vale, he would indeed choose the more suitable Kazan.
Even if Will yearns for the future described by Rami more, likes Rami's gentle and kind character more, he would still choose the more suitable Kazan.
But he is not.
Standing from the perspective of a teacher.
Will doesn't care at all what the future of this Kingdom of the Vale will be like.
He tends to choose Kazan not for any big picture either.
Purely because choosing Kazan.
Both disciples can live.
And choosing Rami.
Must have one death for this internal turmoil to end; even if Will speaks to stop, it's useless.
He doesn't want Rami and Kazan to die.
"With your words, I am relieved."
Dresa breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is State Preceptor's support.
Then presumably Rami can really realize that beautiful and peaceful future...
