Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 128 – RUMORS ABOUT HELION

The political situation in the kingdom developed very quickly with the departure of the king, Alfreon sun Meglovia.

Then, around the 10th month, rumors developed that Helion was not the son of Helios, but the result of an affair between Talia and Leon, the younger brother of Helios.

Helios was furious about all that. Although DNA tests have been done and prove the untruth of the rumors, the, it is not at all helpful that new rumors emerge that the DNA evidence itself is merely the result of engineering Helios with Anna Rosse Bridgette who is the head of the pharmaceutical capital since the people have not been too familiar with the name medical concept.

The mastermind of the rumor spread turned out to be Duke Ares van Orsena, the leader of the protected area of the capital of the Kingdom of Meglovia in collaboration with the head of the royal academy as well as the leader of the middle faction region, Marquise Roderick van Moriant. Both were former members of the crown prince's faction, Tius Star Meglovia.

After the death of the crown prince, they now want to make Ilene Rosse Meglovia as the new queen of the Kingdom of Meglovia in place of her father who has now died. The unexpected thing is that they managed to embrace Viscount Aloquince von Maxwell, the leader of the military faction, the former faction of Prince Leon.

The new faction formed in support of the new queen candidate, Ilene, unexpectedly carried out the action by aggressively removing Ilene's rival, Helios de Meglovia, the ice tyrant prince, with various speculative rumors, even without Ilene getting involved with all that.

Helios had trouble dismissing the rumors. Helion, the son of Helios, has physical features blue eyes with hair color as bright as gold, similar to the grandfather and grandmother, Alfreon sun Meglovia and Theia Madama Meglovia, respectively, marquise Newmann van Growmyerre.

It's just that Helion's hair and eye color is very different from both parents where Helios has hair color and jet black eyes as dark as the abyss, while Talia, her mother, has, she has silver hair and golden eyes that Talia inherited from her mother and grandmother.

Interracial marriage in the Kingdom of Meglovia itself is rare so that the physical characteristics of mixed races that have a variety of variations are still not too familiar in the Kingdom of Meglovia. This could be because it was supported by the primordial attitude of the Meglovians who considered themselves superior among the other nations, eleven twelve with the Vlonhard.

They will only immediately connect the physical characteristics of the child with their parents.

So not the same, they were then suspected of being illegitimate children as they had also developed rumors that Helios would not be the birth of a king and queen. But this rumor itself is not too developed because it was soon drowned by the prophecy of the tyrant.

If the people of the Kingdom of Meglovia want to learn a little about genetics, then the existence of such rumors will certainly not develop as wildly as this since there is a name that is dominant and recessive in the genes. Dominant genes are more likely to determine the phenotype and genotype of an individual, but that does not rule out the possibility of about 25 percent, recessive genes that actually appear.

This is what causes Helion to be able to have hair and eye colors that are very different from both parents. The results of the clinical examination at Anna's pharmacy store have clearly proven this. Helion is none other than the biological child of Helios and Talia.

Of course the other party didn't care about all of that truth. For them, this was a golden opportunity to get rid of the bully thorns that blocked their path.

“Mr Helios, what are you doing alone here?”

Against the voice call, Helios who was busy daydreaming in a corner of a remote park close to his rundown palace then turned around.

“Ah, Nunu apparently. There's Olo too. How about yourself? Are you used to living in the capital?”

“It...”

Nunu appeared hesitating to answer Helios's question.

“What I said. Why did you decide to come here? It would be best if you wait for me to come home in Painfinn City alone. Unlike there, the capital is a place full of racism and evil rumors.”

“That's because Mr. Helios took too long behind it. I miss Mr.”

Nunu said it with a half mutter that even Olo could not hear clearly.

Helios is just plain sad. His face really looks sad. He did not say anything, but even the clumsy Olo could catch the grief emanating from behind the face of the creepy-eyed handsome young man.

Olo then asked, “What is this rumor about your son, Helion, Mr Helios? If it were, we also believed that there was no way that Mrs Talia would cheat. It's just a nasty rumor spread by people who hate you.”

“Funny yes, how people in Megdia City are so sensitive to differences in hair and skin color. Helion clearly has the same eye and hair color as both her father's grandparents, a hallmark of the royal family, but is still treated as such. It all could only happen because they judged his father to have the same physical traits as the lowly race they hated.”

Nunu who could not bear the sarcasm of Helios to himself then also added his comments, “If Lord Helios thought so, then the late His Majesty King Alfreon, your father, will be, also have a father who colored such hair and eyes! A person's glory cannot be judged by the color of their hair and eyes!”

Helios immediately apologized to Nunu for forgetting that Nunu was also a race that was denigrated by the Continent of Ernoa like him. It was inappropriate for him to bring up such a sensitive matter before the black-haired and blood-red-eyed girl.

“Not that Mr. Helios. I mean..”

But before Nunu could finish his sentence, it was Olo who first shouted,

“That's why I hate the royal family. They overvalued their race highly. Even kings and queens leading the country can only be raised among their own descendants. For example, at Asium there, there is no division of the noble caste and commoners. Who is gifted to be king, he is the one who can be king, no matter who their parents are.”

Hearing Olo's words, Helios looked at him.

“Olo, do you think the system in the Asium Continent is much better than the noble system in the Ernoa Continent?”

“Yes, that's of course. With the existence of the noble system, the bulkhead between the noble classes and commoners widened. As a result, it is not uncommon to see commoners oppressed by the nobility arbitrarily without being able to defend themselves.”

“Lantas of the Asium Continent system, how to determine who is the most talented to be king?”

“Yes that is of course from the elections of the people. Who is the most popular, he will be the king. It's as easy as the system.”

“Lantas if it is no longer popular, does that mean the king will soon change?”

“Ya, more or less so.”

“Lantas what about the costs that must be incurred by the government with a new king selection system? If it is done almost every year because it always needs a king who likes everything, it will certainly be so financially burdening a kingdom that will certainly impact on the poverty of the kingdom.”

“Lantas how does the king get popular? Using money to bribe people is the easiest thing to do. Where does the funds come from? Is it from the hard-earned royal treasury that uses the sweat and tears of the people of the kingdom? Doesn't that come back to a new financial burden for the kingdom?”

Olo looked carefully at Helios' words. The abolition of the caste system and making anyone entitled to be a king is indeed an ideal thing to happen in a kingdom. But its manifestation is not as ideal as he imagined.

Forgetting one important factor.

Man is the most greedy type of creature, regardless of whether he is a noble or a commoner.

Olo momentarily confirmed the words of Helios in his heart. The abolition of the caste system is also not a solution to the absurdity of arbitrary power in the face of this world. With clear constitutional restrictions? Isn't that also a legacy of aristocratic systems that have proven to be less effective?

“Lantas what's the exact answer, Mr Helios?”

Olo gave up thinking and allowed Helios to give her the exact answer.

“I don't know either. If only all individuals in this world could understand each other, without any ruler, surely a peaceful and beautiful life would be realized easily.”

“So it depends on the heart of ourselves?”

Against Olo's comment, Helios shook her head.

“It's not that simple. Man is a selfish being who always wants his needs met. If it is not controlled properly, then theft and robbery will certainly be rampant everywhere because the name needs there must be less. It's just..”

Helios looked at Olo's face.

“To control the selfishness and greed of each individual human being, sometimes fear is necessary. It is ironic, but rather than a polite smile, the scary gaze of a leader sometimes controls them more. To me, the rightness is not that bad. As long as the tyrant leader is willing to dedicate himself to humanity and not drowned by his personal greed.”

That is the comment made by Helios de Meglovia, the prince who is predicted to be the future most tyrant king.
