(Part 3) 970: Chapter 309 Do You Want a Country as a Gift?

(Part 3) Tears flowed again, and Sura’s lips buzzed for a moment, but she still didn’t utter those two words.

The throne was not important, what mattered was family.

Apart from Yin Zhu and the child, Emperor Maximo was her only blood relative in this world.

After Sura was resurrected, Ye Yinzhu had told her how, outside the gates of Landias City, Emperor Maximo had been willing to let him go for her sake.

Although the emperor’s utilitarian heart had never lessened, his love for Sura was genuine.

At this moment, Ye Yinzhu felt much more relaxed; he could naturally see the change in Sura’s mood.

Although she was crying, the accumulated sorrow in her heart was quietly dissipating.

He also knew that the condition proposed by Emperor Maximo was intended to use him.

But, what harm was there to himself?

To put it accurately, it should be only beneficial.

After all, Landias was the second largest empire on the continent after Milan.

If this power were in his hands in the future, then there would be no dissenting voice across the Ryuzakinus Continent.

Not only would Landias be preserved, but it would also be good for the Continent.

Given the relationship between him and the Milan Empire, war would no longer be possible.

Ye Yinzhu shook his head lightly, and said with a bitter smile, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I think I cannot accept your offer.”

Emperor Maximo was stunned and asked, “Why?

You don’t want a whole country?

Although I am using you, there is no harm in this to you.

I just hope Landias can continue, and I have no other motives.”

Ye Yinzhu, gently embracing Sura, said, “I understand; for us, it may be a good solution.

But Sura is my wife.

Do you want me to watch her busy with the affairs of the state every day?

Sura has suffered so much, and after the Holy War, I just want to take her and Haiyang to a beautiful place to lead a secluded life, occasionally traveling across the Continent and living free and relaxed.

Power, for us, is just passing clouds, even the sovereign power over a country is the same.”

Emperor Maximo watched Ye Yinzhu blankly and said, “It seems we really are from two different worlds.

I don’t understand now how you have reached your current status.

Is it really what you called sincerity?

If this were before, I would definitely think you are a man shirking his responsibilities.

But now, I am a bit envious.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and asked, “Your Majesty, you just mentioned that there is another solution.

I wonder what it is.”

Emperor Maximo said, “The other solution is much easier, and it will also not affect your carefree life as a couple.

You do have a pair of twins, correct?

Let the boy inherit my throne.

He also carries the blood of the Moratti Family, and I can explain this to the public as well as the ministers.” Saying this, he noticeably showed a sense of despondency.

Our child to inherit the throne of Landias?

Ye Yinzhu was stunned for a moment, and Ye Siqin’s small face suddenly flashed in his mind.

A bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said to Sura, “Do you remember?

I’ve said that I hoped our children could lead a peaceful life, just being healthy is enough.

But now it seems, they may not be able to live an ordinary life.”

Sura asked, “Are you going to agree?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head and looked at Emperor Maximo, saying, “I understand your intention.

I can agree, but I have two conditions.

First, until the child turns sixteen, he must stay with us to be educated, let’s say, stay in Faran.

But you can announce that he has been chosen as the heir.

Second, if in the future Siqin does not wish to bee the emperor of Landias, you cannot force him.

Nor will we.

How you preserve your Landias at that time, we can discuss again.”

After all the events before, both Ye Yinzhu’s and Sura’s hearts had softened, and the poignant dejection of Emperor Maximo had brought them many reflections.

Previously, saving those two young beggars on the street had filled Ye Yinzhu with a hate for war, especially the wars among Humans, and he did not want to see the two great human empires go to war again.

Crespo couldn’t help saying, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, your terms are like not agreeing at all to His Majesty.

It’s just giving us a few years to catch our breath.

If we suffer heavy losses in this Holy War, these few years might not even be enough for us to recover.”

Ye Yinzhu calmly said, “Lord Crespo, I can only say, this is my bottom line.

Also, even if Siqin inherits the throne of Landias in the future, he must have two surnames, not just Moratti.”

Crespo said with a hint of anger, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, your conditions are too harsh.

How can His Majesty accept this?”

Emperor Maximo waved his hand to stop Crespo from continuing and stared intently at Ye Yinzhu, saying, “I can accept your conditions, but I have an additional one.

If, after your son reaches the age of sixteen and es to Landias, he decides not to take the throne, then he must still serve in the Landias Empire for ten years.

This way, he will develop some affection for Landias, which is beneficial for the future of the empire.

My condition isn’t excessive.

As a grandfather, I wouldn’t harm my own grandson.

Besides, having ten years of experience in Landias won’t do him any harm.”

Although Emperor Maximo’s voice remained calm, everyone could hear the entreaty in his tone.

Ye Yinzhu slowly nodded and replied, “Alright, I agree to your condition.”

Emperor Maximo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, “Have you had dinner yet?

I will order a feast.”

Sura shook her head and gazed deeply at Maximo, “No need, we still have matters to attend to.

Please keep your promise and support Yin Zhu in launching this holy war.

Yin Zhu, let’s go.”

Emperor Maximo raised his hand, seemingly wanting to call Sura back, but he ultimately didn’t speak out.

With a deep sigh, he personally escorted Ye Yinzhu and the others to the door of the sleeping quarters.

Neither party obtained any written proof, and these conditions seemed to have been agreed upon orally, but Emperor Maximo was pletely certain that since Ye Yinzhu had agreed, he would never go back on his word.

Watching the three figures gradually disappear under the escort of the palace guards, Emperor Maximo sighed quietly and murmured, “Phoenix, thank you.

You have helped Dad again.

Although you still refuse to call me father, this is enough for me.”

By now, Crespo’s face no longer wore the righteous indignation it had earlier, and he smiled, “Your Majesty, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Zither Emperor agreed because of Her Royal Highness The Princess.

The future of Landias will not be in darkness.

However, are you certain that your unborn grandson will agree?”

Emperor Maximo smiled lightly, “By that time, he will only be sixteen years old.

If I can’t persuade a sixteen year-old boy, then I would have failed as an emperor these past decades.

From what I’ve heard, Siqin is extremely talented in all areas, the eldest of Ye Yinzhu’s three children and shows great potential as an elder brother.

Although he is not yet four years old, his abilities have already been unanimously endorsed by the Faran Tower Masters.

He’s not only Ye Yinzhu’s son, but his godfather is also the Tower Master Aubrey.

With these auras about him, I want to see how the Milan Empire will pete with me in the future.

With blood relationship as the basis, and blood being thicker than water, Ye Yinzhu might gradually lean from the Milan side towards us.

If that truly happens, perhaps the unification task I could not plete will be acplished by Siqin.

That is what I truly wish to see.”

Crespo smiled, “I will immediately release the news of Ye Siqin being the Prince of Landias Empire.

I wonder what Silvio from the Milan Empire will think upon hearing this news.

If Milan and Qin City grow apart because of this, it would be our most desired oute.

But, Your Majesty, are we truly going to fully support this holy war?”

Emperor Maximo nodded firmly, “That is what I promised Ye Yinzhu.

We must support it fully and without regard to casualties.

In this holy war, we need to win the favor of Qin City, Faran, and even the Beastman Clan.

Since my plan needs to unfold over the next several decades, I must first pave the way for Siqin.”

Upon leaving Landias Palace, Sura suddenly stopped, “I’m sorry, Yin Zhu.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Why apologize?

You didn’t do anything wrong!”

Sura lowered her head, “Seeing his aged appearance, I really couldn’t bear to refuse him.

Should I instruct Siqin when we get back not to agree to take the throne when he turns sixteen?”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head with a smile, “No need, let the child choose his own path.

We shouldn’t impose anything on him.

If he wishes, what harm is there in being the monarch of the Landias Empire?”

Sura gave a bitter smile, “I know too well what kind of person my father is.

You just agreed, and I fear the news will soon spread across the entire continent.

If he doesn’t use this to benefit Landias, then he wouldn’t be Emperor Maximo.”
