A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 827
Chapter 827: Origin, The Legend of the Death Fear Cemetery!
..
“I hit her.”
Rheagar muttered uneasily,
” I’ve never hit her, but I’ve obviously lost control today. This was originally my own problem, but Sif was implicated. I really deserve to die!
“You might not know, Matthew, but I’ve become irritable and impulsive these days.
“The documents piled up on my desk, and the tedious meeting with the representatives of other territories made me very tired.
“I couldn’t sleep all night.
“I became very concerned about the rumours outside and also about other people’s evaluation of me.
“Frankly speaking.
“I feel like my nerves are a little off.
“But I shouldn’t have made excuses.
“The truth is that I hurt my daughter.
“I’m a bastard!”
As he spoke.
He covered his face with his hands, and his muscles tensed up. Matthew could hear a slight sob, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by heavy breathing.
Rheagar’s mental state seemed a little unstable.
Matthew’s heart tightened.
However, he remained calm on the surface.
” Calm down, Rheagar. We all know that you love Sif very much. Don’t over-deny yourself because of one extreme action.
“We all make mistakes, don’t we?”
As he spoke.
He quietly opened the Oak Domain.
The oak tree was the child of nature, and it was also the most representative part.
The oak tree domain naturally had the power to pacify people.
This was also the reason why Matthew had tried to open the oak tree’s domain when he encountered a woman fighting.
Last time, the oak tree domain was defeated.
But this time, it had an obvious effect.
Rheagar’s emotions immediately calmed down.
His hands that were covering his face no longer trembled, and his voice returned to normal.
“Matthew, I don’t understand what’s wrong with me.
“Even my mistress said that I seem to have changed into a different person…
Matthew asked patiently,
“What did she say?”
Rheagar sighed and said,
” She said that I’ve become so powerful that I don’t even need to apply sword oil when I work. It’s as if I’ve become 20 years younger.”
Matthew was speechless.
“Isn’t this a good thing?”
Rheagar released his hands and said with a serious expression,
“Of course not. If it was just five years younger, I could understand it as a compliment, but 20 years younger… I feel that something is wrong!”
Matthew silently sensed the changes in Rheagar’s body.
In order to let him completely relax.
Matthew joked,
“What’s wrong? Is it because you’re nervous about becoming king?”
Unexpectedly, Rheagar actually nodded seriously.
“Do I look like I’m made for a king?”
Matthew muttered,
” There are not many kings in the history of Aindor, and the rules of the Seven Saint Alliance do not specify what a king should look like. So, your confusion is a little pointless.”
Rheagar sighed and said,
” But I still don’t think I’m suitable to be king.
” I’ve asked Little Patton about this. He also thinks that I’m not suitable to be a king. He said that I’m suitable to be a hero.
” If the Rolling Stone Kingdom is really established on this land in the future, I really don’t know how to govern it so that I won’t let everyone down.”
Matthew nodded in his heart.
The battle at the Moss Green Hills had established Rolling Stone Town’s dominance in the central South.
These days, the news had spread.
Many people realized that Rheagar was about to become the first king of the Rolling Stones Kingdom.
The environment and interpersonal relationships he faced had undergone drastic changes.
This might be one of the reasons for his emotional change.
At the end of the day, Rheagar was still too kind, and his psychological burden was too heavy.
It wasn’t just Rheagar.
In fact, Matthew asked himself, he was not cut out to be a king.
People who were too kind were not suitable to be leaders.
Moreover, the situation in this world was extremely special.
The king was more like a punching bag between the mages and the people at the bottom.
It was normal for Rheagar to be uncertain.
Matthew thought for a moment and comforted,
” Although your character and nature may not be able to fulfil the duties of a king, you have Zeller, you have me, and the others in Rolling Stone Town.
“We all support you, Rheagar.
” A king might not be perfect. Sometimes, if you can find enough trustworthy helpers, you can even become a spiritual symbol instead of the helmsman who actually controls the direction of the kingdom.
“The choice is yours.”
Rheagar said gloomily,
“It’s precisely because I have the right to choose that I’m so annoyed.”
Matthew shrugged.
He patted Rheagar on the shoulder.
“It’s better to have a choice than not, isn’t it?”
Rheagar nodded heavily.
He looked thoughtful.
A few seconds later.
He suddenly asked,
” Do you think Melinda will come back to remarry me if I become the first king of the Rolling Stone Kingdom and request to become the queen?”
“Who?”
Matthew did not react in time.
“Melinda, Sif’s mother.”
Rheagar explained.
Matthew scratched his head. He was surprised by Rheagar’s jumping thoughts, but facing the other party’s eager gaze, he still braced himself and said,
“I’m afraid it’s not appropriate.”
Rheagar rubbed his chin.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate either. That woman is too selfish and snobbish. But if Melinda doesn’t become the Queen, who should I choose?
“They told me that the king must have a queen.
“What if the new queen treats Sif badly?”
