Chapter 26
The world of truth fell into a coma.
When he woke up again, he was lying on a comfortable and soft bed. The bed was very large, so large that it was obvious that it was definitely not something that could be placed in the small dark room before.
His injuries were healed, but his legs could not be healed.
The doctor came to see him, treated him and left.
He asked the people around him what had happened?
A person answered his question.
The person told him that during the days when he was not there, His Royal Highness held an engagement banquet and detained Her Majesty the Queen at the engagement banquet, but Her Majesty the Queen was unwilling to obey. His
Royal Highness could only forcibly detain Her Majesty the Queen, without beating or scolding her, but just locked her in a very small room with nothing but doors and windows.
Her Majesty the Queen asked His Royal Highness why he did this?
His Royal Highness said it was for a friend.
Her Majesty the Queen cursed and refused to eat, trying to resist His Royal Highness's behavior.
But His Royal Highness didn't care, and reminded others not to send any food or water if Her Majesty the Queen didn't want to eat or drink.
Remember to lock the doors and windows, and keep a close watch. If there is any escape, never let it go. No matter what Her Majesty the Queen shouted in the room, ignore it.
But Her Majesty the Queen was very noisy in the room. After a few days, there was suddenly no sound in the room, as if Her Majesty the Queen had died in the room.
The gatekeeper was very scared, so he went to inform His Royal Highness.
His Royal Highness went to the room to meet Her Majesty the Queen in person.
Her Majesty the Queen did not die in the small room, but she never came out again, nor did she scream like before, so some people said that she was probably dead.
However, food was still delivered every day, and the empty utensils were taken out to be washed, and this cycle repeated for several days.
Suddenly one day, a person who went to deliver food came out of the room shouting that Her Majesty the Queen had committed suicide.
His Royal Highness did not love Her Majesty the Queen, but when someone suggested to His Royal Highness that Her Majesty the Queen be buried with the rites of a commoner, His Royal Highness refused the suggestion.
Although he hesitated for a long time, it was obvious that he knew that it was a huge and irreparable humiliation for a queen to be buried with the rites of a commoner.
He did not seek the consent of His Majesty the King, because after dealing with Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness dealt with His Majesty the King immediately.
His Majesty used to be in charge of little, but after the death of His Majesty the Queen, His Majesty realized that his life was in danger. He felt nervous and wanted to meet His Royal Highness.
So he asked someone to invite His Royal Highness to meet him.
Although His Royal Highness was very busy, he was willing to take some time to meet him after hearing his request, even though we all thought it was a meaningless meeting.
The death of Her Majesty the Queen obviously shocked His Majesty, especially when he saw that the funeral of Her Majesty the Queen was so grand and deserted.
His Majesty almost had a premonition of his own funeral, and he wanted to ask His Royal Highness to let him live a little longer. Maybe so, but he didn't live long.
After His Royal Highness left His Majesty's room, people began to prepare for the coronation ceremony.
When the coronation ceremony was halfway through, a group of people brought another group of people to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness talked with those people behind closed doors for a while.
After a while, His Royal Highness asked us to open the door and send those people out. Those people were very calm, as if they did not suddenly appear in someone else's house. Two days
later, His Royal Highness announced to the public that he had found His Majesty's long-lost illegitimate son.
His Majesty the King was eager to see His Royal Highness again, but at this time His Majesty the King was already seriously ill and was dying.
Not surprisingly, this time His Royal Highness went to see him was the last time.
Many people were worried that His Royal Highness would be infected with the disease if he went to see His Majesty the King, and they all advised His Royal Highness not to go, but His Royal Highness said that as a son, how could he not fulfill his filial piety, so everyone stopped stopping him.
His Royal Highness went to see His Majesty the King. His Majesty spoke in a soft voice and breathed weakly. His body lay softly on the sickbed, wrapped in a quilt, like a skeleton in a tall tomb.
His Royal Highness knelt in front of His Majesty the King's bed and spoke. His Majesty the King seemed very angry, but also seemed helpless. He did not let His Royal Highness get up, but did not scold him to leave.
The two talked for a while, and His Royal Highness left the room alone and announced the news of His Majesty the King's death.
Along with the news of His Majesty the King's death, His Royal Highness also announced information about those illegitimate children.
His Royal Highness told everyone that the mothers of those illegitimate children were His Majesty the King's lovers outside of marriage, and those lovers had long been secretly executed by His Majesty the King, and none of them survived.
After discussion, His Majesty the King agreed to transfer those illegitimate children to the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, making them
His Royal Highness the Prince's descendants. His Royal Highness the Prince agreed to His Majesty the King's dying wish. After His Royal Highness the Prince ascended the throne, the next heir will be chosen from these illegitimate children.
If those illegitimate children do not want to make trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to give them a way to survive and a life of glory and wealth. If they do not appreciate it, then there is only a way to die.
His Royal Highness the Prince will not give them any face to show mercy.
His Majesty the King said that he hopes they will be knowledgeable and His Royal Highness the Prince agreed.
"The official coronation ceremony will be in two days. Do you want to go to see it?"
The attendants around asked.
"How can I get through like this?"
The World of Truth asked.
"There is a wheelchair here. You can use it first."
The attendant next to him pushed something over.
"Is there anything else?"
The World of Truth asked curiously.
"Yes.
His Royal Highness will make a wheelchair for you when he is free. The wheelchair is almost ready. His Royal Highness hopes to give it to you as a gift before the coronation ceremony.
I hope you will be happy to see it."
The person next to him answered.
"Is he busy lately?"
asked the True World.
"Yes, very busy."
The person next to him nodded in reply.
Someone came outside the door.
Araki suddenly appeared in front of the True World.
"Although I'm very busy, I still want to see you. I
've been here a few times before, but you were in a coma, so I didn't disturb you. Now we finally meet, I hope you don't think I'm deliberately ignoring you."
Araki said to the True World.
"I don't think so. I'm already thankful that you still remember to give me a wheelchair."
The True World smiled at Araki.
"It's great that you don't mind my mistakes towards you. I will take good care of you.
I have arranged a dedicated doctor for you, a special pharmacy, and a large study.
If you have time and want to see it, I can accompany you now.
That place is really big, I hope you like it."
Araki said to the True World.
"I don't mind reading, but how did you suddenly think of giving me a study room?"
asked the world of truth curiously.
"Because killing time is always boring, it would be better to have a book, and there is no noise, I don't think you would like a noisy environment."
Araki replied.
"Then let's go and take a look now."
The world of truth nodded.
The people next to him wanted to reach out and move the world of truth from the bed to the wheelchair.
The world of truth only broke one leg, not both legs, nor was his lower limbs completely paralyzed, so he refused, but Araki tried to help him.
The world of truth hesitated and accepted the help he offered, he looked very happy.
And he was very proficient in using the wheelchair, as if he was the one with a broken leg, not the world of truth.
"Have you ever used this thing?"
The world of truth touched the wheelchair and asked curiously.
"I broke my leg once, but it healed later, it just took some time.
Because I was not very experienced at riding a horse, a wild horse threw me off its back and stepped on my foot.
Fortunately, I still have magic, so I recovered and just had to use a wheelchair for a few months, which is not a big deal.
The most important thing to pay attention to is that when I appear in front of other people, sitting in a wheelchair, they will look at me with a very complicated look.
It seems to be full of pity, and it seems to be relief after jealousy, plus a little bit of schadenfreude.
It's hard for me to explain clearly, because I don't really want to look into their eyes or their faces.
If I saw you at that time, maybe I would want to take a closer look at what the people around me were thinking when they saw me."
Araki explained to the world of truth.
The world of truth nodded.
The two came to the study that Araki mentioned, which was simply a huge library.
Because from the outside looking in, it has at least three floors, and there is a roof on the top.
The area of the roof is not large, but it is full of sunshine. It feels that you can even plant some plants on it. It will be green and look better, but there is no need for that.
And if the plants have developed root systems, they will damage the buildings and the books inside. The loss is difficult to measure, which will be even more troublesome.
So it is better to have less trouble.
The World of Truth withdrew its gaze, and Araki pushed the World of Truth into the main entrance of the huge library in a wheelchair.
There are countless books here, but there are not many people.
"These people are here to protect the books and keep the place clean. These books need to be carefully maintained, and one person cannot do all this work. So I arranged some people.
I hope you don't mind their presence. If you hate them, I can replace them with others."
Araki explained to the world of truth.
The world of truth nodded.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Araki asked.
"You have done everything very well."
The world of truth said.
Araki said: "I have the power to protect you now."
