Extra 3. Those Two People (2)
Eric sent interview invitations to Aura and Christine, who were still princesses, in their personal capacity a few days ago. Although they had entrusted most of the matters to their subordinates, they were still quite busy. Eric could not have imagined that they would accept the interview invitation so quickly and readily.
Her first stop was the Chune Palace.
"Let's not talk about the goddess for now. I still like the articles you write. If you have any questions, ask them. I will try my best to answer them."
Princess Aura and Princess Christine were interviewed together.
Princess Aura was wearing casual clothes, leaning casually on the sofa. Princess Christine was also dressed casually, and she had not appeared in public for a long time. She still looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen, but her expression was very mature, with a subtle sense of incongruity.
Eric smiled and wrote, "There are so many people who have written about the lives of these two people, and many of them are comprehensive and objective. I don't want to repeat them again. The question I want to ask is very simple. In your eyes, what kind of people are they?"
Christine and Ola looked at each other, and Christine couldn't help laughing: "This is exactly the most difficult question."
Eric has started writing, and she will write down every word of the interviewee.
Christine, the true prophet, has never been revealed to the public. In fact, after the end of the Demon War, her ability was still working, but the dreams she had after that were all irrelevant.
Although she has lived in the palace for a long time, her knowledge is beyond the reach of many people of her age. She has no position, but is just an assistant to Aura, giving her advice and collecting information. Occasionally, she dreams of natural disasters, and can be alerted in time, make plans in advance, and reduce disaster losses.
Alex and Ola both trust her, and she undoubtedly plays an important role in national politics.
Christine bowed her head and smiled, and said slowly: "Alex, he is an excellent king and the strongest knight in the world so far. He has all the good qualities and he devotes himself to the people. Well, this is the official statement. The official statement is not wrong. I have seen him and he is indeed such a person, a surprisingly strong person. As his subject, I will feel very happy and rely on him wholeheartedly, but as his sister, I just want him to end such days as soon as possible and live his own life. He has fought for mankind for too long. He is a king and a knight. Don't forget that, apart from these identities, he is just Alex."
Aura looked up at the ceiling and said, "Ordinary people can only see his smile, his dignity, and his calmness. We have seen him angry, crying, tired, and childish. He is not a god. Even gods may have emotions and desires. He has selfish desires. He wants to be lazy and want to escape. He just finds it difficult to let go of this responsibility. I think everyone should allow him to have shortcomings instead of seeing him as a perfect person. Now he can finally leave without worry. Don't try to keep him. Set him free."
For Inger.
Christine said, "He... I don't know how to describe him accurately. I remember when he entered the palace to take up administrative duties, many people distrusted him very much. They were afraid that his power and position would be too great and threaten Alex and even the stability of Chune. However, most people were wrong. The honors and power he had were not what he wanted. He always said that he was not doing it for the people, but just to stay for Alex. But he still performed his duties perfectly. He has made an indelible contribution to building this country into what it is now."
Ola was even more straightforward: "It's only been a short time, and so many people have forgotten how much he sacrificed on the battlefield? If it weren't for him, most people on the continent would be alive today? So there are still many ungrateful people. If they hadn't been on the battlefield, those pains wouldn't exist, right? He has no shortage of money, power, or strength. His current strength can destroy most countries in the world. The only one who can fight him is Alex, and Alex is his knight. Originally, he didn't need to suffer this grievance and make himself work so hard. There are still many people who benefit from him, but most people don't know about it. He is about to step down, and people should have a minimum of gratitude and stop slandering him. Stay away from his life."
Out of the palace.
Eric began looking for their classmate and good friend.
The famous Stella siblings, three nobles in one family.
The twins are legendary and have been following Alex since they were students.
Eric had often run into the two men during the war, but had never communicated with them.
After the war, the two served as instructors for high-ranking knights for a period of time, and after retiring, they seemed to have their own careers.
Eric found Uri Stella at the famous Fine Arts Academy in Nantes. She was a little surprised that he was really studying and receiving art education like other students, even though with his status he could invite the professor to his home for private lessons.
"I just want to enjoy this peaceful and quiet atmosphere. I don't have much inspiration to paint alone at home." He added a few strokes on the canvas.
"I thought you would always be with your sister. After all, you have been together since you were born."
Wu Rui lowered his head and smiled: "Well, she has things she wants to do, and I have things I want to do. Besides, she can come home at any time, and we will never be separated."
"What kind of people are they in your eyes?"
"Alex, besides the bad things people say about him, he actually has a tyrannical side. Sometimes he doesn't consider the feelings of the person he protects, but this is only for certain people. Haha, I'm talking about Ying. In fact, the two of them often quarreled, in private and in official business. The quarrels were very fierce. You wouldn't expect it, right? For a long time, many people thought that their relationship was very bad. But sometimes, quarreling all the time doesn't mean that the relationship is really bad. He They both care too much about each other, and care leads to confusion. My sister and I are often like this. We are still together. As for Ying, he may have a strong tendency to self-destruction and serious psychological problems. I have always advised him to receive psychological treatment, but he just doesn't have time. He really needs Alex to take care of him a little. But Alex also needs to restrain himself a little. He has too many things to worry about. He is too responsible and will put a lot of pressure on those around him. "
If you want to know what kind of image these two people have, you must look at the relationship between them. Asking people close to them can indeed yield some results.
"Thank you very much for taking the time to be interviewed. These are all valuable materials. By the way, do you know where your sister is now?"
"Ah, she received two years of training and should have taken up her post at the embassy in Saha a few months ago. This matter has only been posted in the official notice, but has not been officially announced yet."
So Eric flew to Sahay on a civilian plane.
Although there are teleporters, the use of large teleporters is now prohibited. Except for major military and national infrastructure matters, they cannot be used for other general matters. Currently, there are only a few people in the world who can activate the usage rights.
Eric flew to the Embassy of Churne in Sahel and learned that Cheryl Stella was currently in the Executive Mansion in Sahel.
So she rushed to the Executive Mansion again.
To her surprise, Tels's chief executive, who had received her letter earlier, had read it and was planning to be interviewed by her.
In addition to him, there is also the diplomat Nineveh, who is known as the "Goddess of Spring" in Saheb.
So the interviewees suddenly became three people: Tels Nabuchi, Nineveh, and Cheryl Stella.
"I'm helping to hunt some monsters on the border, so I came back here to report the situation." Cheryl explained.
Do ambassadors stationed abroad have such duties?
Eric smiled, suppressed all the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, and asked them the same question.
Telles sat up straight and said, "I respect them both very much. They have helped our country a lot. Our two countries will actively communicate and cooperate in the future."
A very official but sincere attitude. Perhaps he is just that honest person.
Eric smiled and added a few words after Tels's character description.
Nineveh was more talkative. The goddess of spring, whose beauty and charm were growing stronger day by day, could not help but reveal her childish side when she talked about them: "My two brothers are very close to each other. I like them very much! Since I was very young, they took me out of my original room. They allowed me to join the revolution and contribute my own strength. At that time, I was still an insignificant child imprisoned in the palace, and they were only a few years older than me, but they came to assassinate the last emperor of Zalambra, Sampsis, and Andrenon."
At present, her original identity had long been revealed by some members of the restoration party, and she also came forward to confirm this, being forced to reveal the cruel truth of the deep palace and the tragic facts.
This incident did not damage her image. After a brief shock, most people became more sympathetic to her situation.
Of course, it doesn't matter to her, she just keeps doing what she should do.
However, the truth about the assassinations of Sampsiheath and Andrenon was revealed for the first time.
Eric quickly followed up with the details.
Ninifu shared what happened at that time with her and said, "I asked them before whether this matter should be disclosed. They gave me formal permission, so you can write this matter in and publish it, but you have to show them the final draft."
Eric nodded to show that he understood the process.
"Brother Alex is a very gentle person. He takes good care of me every time I go to their place. In fact, I am happy to work hard, but he feels that he owes me a lot. He always asks if I am too tired, but in fact, I am not. Helping them is also helping ourselves. Brother Inger has very profound insights on some things. People around him take it for granted, but this is actually a very amazing thing. I have a lot to learn from him! But he is not very honest a lot of times."
Cheryl immediately followed up after she finished speaking: "Ying! He's just a big idiot!!! He always hides dangerous things from us! He's quieter now, but he was really too much before! I've never seen anyone who doesn't take care of his body like this! He's not in good health now, if it weren't for Alex... Alex is the same, he is too stubborn sometimes. The two of them, I suspect they knew each other a long time ago, before my brother and I knew them, they knew each other. By the way, did I tell you about his poisoning? He drank the poison on behalf of Alex and almost died..."
She told some of their past, including their coming together to Zalambra.
Eric listened to the whole conversation and felt something was wrong when she heard that Inger gave Ters a book. She asked, "Can I know what the book is?"
"It doesn't matter, it's The Life of Capital." Telles even took out the book, which he had always kept well.
Eric held the book with a subtle look on his face. There were notes she had made on the title page.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just think it's amazing how fate works."
