Chapter 615 Frankness
Chapter 615 Frankness
Chen Cheng stepped forward and patted Samlet on the shoulder and said:
"You're already hundreds of years old, why are you still crying? Come on, wipe your tears quickly."
"Well, Your Majesty, do you think you've changed since we last saw each other for a year?"
"Really? Why didn't I feel it?"
"Alright, alright. I'm all sweaty from climbing mountains and crossing rivers these past few days. Just now, the elven saint was staring at me at the banquet. I'm really afraid she'll ask, 'Your Majesty, why do you smell?' Just imagine how embarrassed I'd be then."
Chen Cheng imitated Fei Sili's cute and naive tone and spoke.
When he arrived at the bathroom, the size and decoration inside were just as Chen Cheng expected. It was so luxurious.
While Chen Cheng was taking a bath, Samlett outside smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then looked at Sheli who was following behind him.
"You have done very well. Your Majesty has now reached the gold level. I have finally given an explanation to the late emperor."
However, Sheli knelt down in front of Samlet with a thud.
"Please punish me, Palace Master. His Majesty is injured, seriously injured. This time I came to the Moonlight Forest to seek the help of the elves, otherwise His Majesty will not live long."
Sheli's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Samlet.
I just saw that Chen Cheng's strength has improved. He is no longer as mature and steady as before, but has the liveliness of a young man. However, now you tell him that Chen Cheng is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and he is actually about to die.
Immediately, with a "puff" sound, Samlett, who had never vomited blood even when facing the evil god from outside the domain, vomited blood at this time.
Fortunately, as a demigod, he reacted quickly and collected the blood before it touched the ground.
"What did you say? Tell me again. How did His Majesty get injured? Why didn't I feel anything? If you lie to me, you should know the consequences."
Samlett put one hand on Sheli's shoulder and looked at him with a vicious look.
How much he hoped that Sheli would say that all his words were false, that he was actually joking with him, and that nothing had happened to Chen Cheng.
However, Sheli answered as before.
After getting confirmation, Samlett released the hand that was holding Sheli and took a few steps back, his body somewhat unstable.
"Who did it?"
Samlett's voice was very gloomy at this time, and a determined murderous intent was bound around him.
"It's the Great Prince Jinmu of the Moss Kingdom."
Then Sheli told Samlett everything he and Chen Cheng had experienced.
After hearing this, Samlett gritted his teeth and felt a surge of guilt.
He didn't expect that because of his departure, Chen Cheng was captured by a group of slave traders and became a slave.
Later, in order to gain the status of a free man, Chen Cheng actually participated in the struggle for the throne among those traitors.
And His Majesty is His Majesty, born with knowledge, and relying solely on his wisdom and means, he helped a royal scandal seize the throne of the crown prince.
Although he was happy that Chen Cheng had such a method, he was also very sad and angry in his heart.
With your Majesty's current talents and means, if it weren't for those treacherous ministers and villains, the world might have been peaceful and prosperous by now.
And now, Your Majesty has hidden his identity and is going to fight with these traitors, and they have used all kinds of despicable tricks to cause Your Majesty to suffer such serious injuries.
"Besides you guys, who else knows about this?"
Samlet suppressed his murderous intent and asked in a cold tone.
"All of His Majesty's close friends and teachers know about it, but they don't know His Majesty's identity. They only know that Emile escorted His Majesty to Moonlight Forest to seek medical treatment."
Samlett slapped Sheli in the air, and with a snap, a huge slap mark appeared on Sheli's face.
"Your Majesty's serious injury is a dereliction of duty on our part, and these are critical times. Therefore, this is only a minor punishment, but if it happens again, you and I will be prepared to sacrifice our lives for Your Majesty."
At this time, Chen Cheng came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. When he saw Sheli kneeling on the ground and the slap mark on his face, Chen Cheng's face changed slightly.
"Samlett you hit him and I need an explanation."
For Chen Cheng, after having been with Sheli for so long, he has long regarded Sheli as a family member.
Similarly, Samlet is also a family member in his heart, so he doesn't want any unpleasantness to arise among his family members.
Before Samlett could speak, Sheli spoke first:
"Your Majesty, this is my voluntary act. My duty is to protect Your Majesty's safety, and now that Your Majesty has been seriously injured, it is my dereliction of duty.
If the Palace Master had not slapped me, my enlightenment would have been stuck here."
This is not Sheli flattering Samlet. Sheli does not have the skill of flattery.
And his true situation was just as he said himself. Ever since he knew that Chen Cheng would die due to the injury to his consciousness, his heart was covered with a layer of dust.
He was Chen Cheng's personal knight, and his duty was to protect Chen Cheng.
However, under his protection, Chen Cheng was seriously injured and was dying. How could this not make him feel disturbed?
However, Chen Cheng sighed after hearing this, and pulled Sheli up from the ground and said:
"I've already said it before, this isn't your fault. In my eyes, you're not my subjects. In my eyes, the three of us are one family.
You've been guarding us all the way. When we passed the broken road, you risked your life to kill a beast king to divert the herd's attention, allowing us to reach Moonlight Forest."
Then Chen Cheng walked up to Samlet and pulled him up, saying:
"I know what you are thinking. You have seen the glory of the empire, so you want to continue it. This is not only your ideal, but also for the safety of me and my parents.
If three generations of us, my family and I, had not relied on your support, I might not have been born.
When I was born, my father, the king, and my mother, the queen, died for their country. You raised me, so in my heart you are like a father to me.
I appreciate your dedication to me, but I have also grown up. I want to see with my own eyes and feel with my own eyes, to feel the world today.
Let's see whether empires are still needed in today's world.
If the world no longer needs us, I think we can give up our illusory desire to restore our country, and live out the rest of our lives in peace as a wealthy man in the Kingdom of Moss, hiding our identities."
"And if the world truly needs an empire, then what we need is a grand plan based on long-term strategies. Only then can we truly repeat the glory of the empire."
Chen Cheng told Samlett everything that was in his heart. It felt like a grown-up child who, after seeing the outside world, told his inner thoughts to his father, wanting his persistent father to understand his thoughts.
