Sacrifice

Like a moon that needs the sun to shine; a moon that cannot dazzle its own light, yet it does not tire of giving its shine to us. Even the sun gets its shine from the Creator.

Our country ..., Anming we can't get its own light. It needs us, its people to look after it and glorify it. Just like me, even though I am a King, yet I would not be able to stand without my people and people by my side.

So hereby, with me as the real ruler of Anming, ask you, Constantine Yang, to be our moon. A sacrifice must be made for the independence of this nation.

From me,

King Luo Yang, The Sun Anming

"I just found out my dad can be this poetic." Constantine held back his laughter until the two neutrals got wet. He looked at Luo Yang with a funny look.

"An aspiring ruler is taught more knowledge than his brothers" he said, grunting.

"But the Crown Prince doesn't look like that." The girl grinned. He raised his eyebrows when he saw his father's sour expression. A statement that contradicts reality.

"Not everyone deserves it. She was only lucky to be born as the child of an empress," Luo Yang refuted.

"In that case, why not replace it?" Constantine took his breath. No. gabe. In fact, without even asking, he actually knew the reason. Because he was not only a general who understood war; he was also a Princess who understood politics.

"You know the answer, An'er ...!" lirih Luo Yang's.

Power is blinding and wealth is tempting. In his youth, Luo Yang, could not even dodge his so-called treasures, thrones, and women.

A throne must be owned by a competent person. But the present heir, has none at all. However, even though Feng Yang was an extremely incompetent figure, something behind it was a terrible thing.

Empress Chun came from a not simple family. His family, the Maoyi Family was a famous merchant family and had connections with several kingdoms. Moreover, they also still had distant kinship ties with the Young Family which had the highest status in the empire.

"Their ambition is terrible. But, your other children are not as tough as him when it comes to wanting power. Therefore, others give up first if they want their lives to be saved" said Constantine Yang, accompanied by a small oddity.

"You can defeat him, but you see no interest in the throne at all" said the King. He looked at the General with a hard-to-understand look.

Constantine gulped his saliva, then smiled stiffly. "I hope the sacrifice you're making isn't that. Although I don't want to refuse, I'm not ready to be queen either. You—"

"No, no! Not that! But they want you!" Luo Yang interrupted.

"Isn't the Mesum dead? Other than a crazy thing like wanting to marry me off with her corpse, what do they want? Nah! They're gonna use me, right? Killing me this genius, must have been detrimental."

Luo Yang almost choked when he heard the words that were filled with insults by his daughter. However, it greatly reminded him of his youth, where he, despite losing strength to Jingguo Li, but the intelligence he possessed, could not be underestimated. That's what he always boasted.

"It's time for you to return, An'er ...!"
