Chapter 509 The Unknown Secret (1)(4k)(1/2)
Alan showed great patience to Caesar's explanation and did not show any abnormality.
"At the beginning, we did consider whether this is a trap and whether there will be any ambush or something."
"After all, this is a coincidence."
"But later on, as the excavation progressed and the news came, I became more and more moved."
"Because, for me, this is not just a resource acquisition, but also a prestige."
Speaking of this, Caesar looked at Allen seriously, staring at him with a sincere look, but with a faint guilt.
Allen turned his head slightly and looked at Renard beside him, finding that he still looked indifferent.
For a moment, he felt a little strange.
I always feel that the anger and hostility arise in my biological son's heart is not as good as the "outsider" Reinard, which is simply unreasonable.
"At that time, I bought a wise man around me, and my advisers advised me to think about it and wait for a little longer."
"But I was too young and too impulsive at that time."
"In order to be in power as soon as possible and to gain enough prestige, I did not wait as they wished."
"Even if it's safer."
"And just like this, after knowing that I was already moved, your father Roy Seulias took the initiative to petition, and went to the place where the ruins appeared, and went to the front line in person."
Allen nodded slightly to express his understanding.
To be honest, the words Caesar Charles said were exactly the same as what he thought, and there was no difference.
So, he was already prepared and acted very calmly.
It’s not that he is not angry, but that he knows there is no reason to be angry.
After all, although Caesar Charles made a wrong choice in desperation, Roy's trip was his own idea.
Even though Roy made this decision, he might have been influenced by external factors, he finally made the decision himself.
In this way, Allen had no reason to lose his temper with the other party.
However, Allen quietly glanced at Renard beside him, feeling a little weird.
The younger generation who is not his biological son is angry and has a constant expression, but his personal son can still control his emotions well.
No matter how you look at this, there are some Ukiyo-e magic inside, which makes people wonder.
Allen suppressed the strangeness in his heart, turned his head and looked directly at Caesar Charles, and asked seriously.
"Your Majesty talks about this, not just to explain it to me."
Caesar's guilt was still there for Allen's keenness, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a bit of satisfaction.
"Yeah, you guessed it right."
"Do you know why Master Ryan was imprisoned in the North?"
Upon hearing this question, Allen subconsciously wanted to answer the answers he had heard when he was in Gria City.
But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
If it were just that, Caesar Charles would not have mentioned it specifically at this time.
Thinking of this, Allen recalled the rumors he had heard in Gria City.
According to rumors, Master Ryan was killed because his disciple Roy disappeared, so he was in danger of killing. In order to give an explanation to those who attacked this, and to allow Allen to grow up safely, he was imprisoned in the northern border in exchange for compromise.
It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.
Alan thought about everything he had heard, trying to find something wrong, but he didn't find anything in a short time.
As he thought about it, Allen raised his head and looked at Caesar with a puzzled look.
Caesar smiled and spoke with a happy tone, "It's normal for you not to know, which means that our plan has not leaked."
"What's the meaning."
Hearing this, Allen suddenly had a premonition, as if he had guessed something.
But such speculation is hazy, like looking at flowers in the fog, and it is not clear.
"You know, why, the mark the Empire gave your parents they kept missing, not dead?"
Allen raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it because they cannot determine their life and death that they have made the conclusion of their disappearance?"
“It’s not.”
Caesar laughed, took a step, and walked to the seat behind the desk and sat down.
"Roy's disappearance is indeed something we didn't expect."
"Because we didn't guess that they might be so crazy."
"But before your parents set out, we also took certain protective measures to ensure insurance and prevent possible dangers."
Hearing this, Allen couldn't help but straighten his body, leaning forward slightly, and his expression was extremely serious.
And Renard, who was beside him, had a lot of indifference on his face, showing unexpected surprise.
It can be seen that he had never known about this news before.
"That is, they are really not dead."
Alan stared at Caesar's eyes tightly, and he paused word by word, as sharp as a knife, and was extremely serious.
"Yes, they are not dead."
Caesar also restrained the smile on his face and answered seriously.
“Where are they?”
Reinard asked hurriedly.
At this time, he no longer cared about treating the person he had never wanted to talk to, but was extremely eager to know the answer he was most concerned about.
"have no idea."
However, in response to Renard's urgency, Caesar just spread his hands helplessly, and seemed very depressed.
"I don't know, how could I not know!"
Renard seemed very excited, and his body sitting on the chair stood up slightly, as if he wanted to rush towards Caesar.
Allen keenly noticed a slight fluctuation in Caesar's shadow, and his eyes narrowed, holding up Renard, who was a little disobedient.
However, despite this, Allen's performance was not much better than Reynard's performance.
Although he sat still, his eyes were unexpectedly condensed, with a brilliant light, like the bright sun shining, and pressing down on Caesar with a overwhelming power, with a sense of oppression.
Although he didn't speak, his performance was better than thousands of words.
At this moment, Allen could clearly feel that his heart was beating vigorously and his soul was trembling slightly.
The whole body, without an inch of skin, and every pore, is expressing its tension and desire at this moment.
A stream of worries, expectations, and thoughts that were coming from the depths of the soul, and the bottom of his heart surged out like a tide, soaking his heart, making him feel a little astringent in the corners of his eyes.
Allen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he was about to speak, he realized that the vocal cords were rubbing like rotten wood, with great resistance.
"We really don't know. If we knew, we wouldn't have marked them missing."
"If I knew, even if I mobilize the power of the entire empire, I will try to bring them back."
Caesar's body was no longer as straight as he had sat at first, leaning back slightly, with a sense of inexplicable helplessness and powerlessness in his tone.
As the master of this huge empire and the master of this vast territory, even if he is subject to various constraints, even if he does not really control everything, he rarely feels powerless.
But at this moment, looking at the disappointed faces of the two young men in front of him, Caesar felt sincerely powerless.
That was a sense of guilt for letting down their expectations.
Allen pulled Renard, who was a little excited at this moment, and his movements were a little open and close, calmed down and adjusted his state.
Then, he asked in a slightly lower voice than usual.
"I heard what you mean, although I can only know that my parents are still alive, I don't know where they are, and I can't find them back."
"But all this is related to Master Ryan's imprisonment in the North, right?"
Allen's tone was extremely sincere, without any urging or forcing, only the younger generation's request for the elders.
When Renard heard Allen’s question, he listened to the whole conversation and suddenly reflected on him, no longer excited, and became quiet.
Or, at this time, he had buried all his excitement in his heart, at least he would not show any transcendence on his face.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Caesar nodded, affirming Allen's guess.
Then, before Allen could continue to ask questions, Caesar continued to take the initiative.
"Although Master Ryan's affairs back then were a bit too much, if you really wanted to go deeper, you might not have come to this point."
"It can even be said that the possibility of the two sides finally having a dispute until there is no following."
To be continued...
