Chapter 408: The king doesn't understand people's hearts

Snapped.

Henry VIII gently closed the heavy book in his hand.

Annan glanced at it and found that the cover was written in swashes with "High-level Ailing Language-A Detailed Discussion on the Special Meaning of Syllables to Rituals."

what is this?

…Live and learn?

Henry VIII raised his head, looked at Annan with a smile, and stretched out his hand to signal Annan to sit next to him, but at the same time he said nothing.

So Annan opened his mouth with interest.

He did not salute the king, nor did he pay tribute or politeness to him.

He just glanced at the book on the table and said softly: "Are you studying the language of Eling?"

"Yes, but there are some dragon language notes that don't make sense. It's great that you can come over and find me."

"—I think you are looking for me, don't you want to chat with me."

Realizing that he had fallen into a passive state, Annan decisively interrupted the previous topic.

Henry VIII was not angry.

He just glanced at Kafni with a smile, then looked back at Annan, and asked with interest: "Obviously you came to see me, right? Little Kafni brought me to see me... didn't you?"

When Henry VIII mentioned Kafni, Annan clearly felt Kafni's hand tremble and lowered her head. Then a little timidly, he quietly let go of Annan's hand.

Annan didn't look back at Kafni.

-But he grabbed her backhand directly and gently held her wrist.

Kafni was shocked, and looked at Annan with some surprise.

But Annan didn't say anything, but calmly looked at Henry VIII: "You have known for a long time that I will follow Kafni over today.

"Since my actions now are still in your plan... then you came to me."

"It's not a plan..."

Henry VIII smiled slightly, but his voice was very contagious in a flat voice: "I have disclosed your identity, which shows that I have no malice towards you. No matter whether Philip wants to do something to you, no matter Elizabeth is planning something. What. As long as your identity is revealed by me personally, you will be safe... right?"

-indeed so.

After all, Annan is not his royal family in the ordinary sense.

As a direct descendant of the old grandmother, Annan was directly protected by the old grandmother. If it is “without knowing” that Annan is injured, persecuted, or disrespectful to Annan is excusable... As long as Annan does not die, the old grandmother is not good at transnational law enforcement.

But after Annan's identity has been announced, anyone who is hostile to Annan will encounter the old grandmother's revenge when it snows in winter.

The old grandmother has always held a lot of grudges—the dragon's concept of time is different from that of ordinary people.

For an old grandmother who has been squinting for a few years or more than ten years, it is normal for her to be vigilant and to stay awake for 30 to 40 years.

After all, the old grandmother's asylum month is December...every winter, the falling snow is completely fatal to the people she wants to kill.

—If you have the ability, you should never go out in December. As long as you go out, there will be a blizzard, and when snowflakes fall on you, you will immediately become an ice sculpture.

The old grandmother's revenge is not based on days or months. It is normal for her to stay on for more than ten years and decades... If she waits for someone to die of old age without finding a chance, she will attack their offspring.

It is the "tradition" to pay the debts of the father and the son; the protection of shortcomings is also the "tradition", and the revenge of blood relatives is also the "tradition".

Before the old grandmother thinks it can be over, she will never stop revenge.

—No one wants to provoke such a god, except lunatics.

The old grandmother is notoriously unreasonable.

Therefore, after Annan's identity was announced, his personal safety in Noah was fully guaranteed.

And because the king personally announced it, it is impossible for those people to forcefully argue "I don't know this."

"…thank you very much."

Annan was silent for a long time, but still whispered thanks.

He immediately asked again: "But are you...?"

...Are you clear about what Philip and Elizabeth are going to do?

"Although I have stayed here, I know a lot. Far more than they have shown. The crow is always loyal to the crown, even if the crown is rusty and dim."

Henry VIII sighed softly and said calmly: "Whether it is the relationship between Philip and the church of the Corruption and the little crow, or the little hands and feet of Elizabeth in the army, school and my guard... and Marguerite I know about Te and Denton.

"—Of course, it also includes Kafni and you."

"...Then you?"

This really surprised Annan.

He had thought that Henry VIII should know more or less... but he didn't expect that he would know so much and so much.

But he obviously knows everything, but why... he didn't do it at all?

"Because I am dying, Annan... Your Majesty."

Henry VIII narrated calmly.

"But I obviously see that you are in good condition..."

"It has nothing to do with that. As a'cup in the cup', I'm just a temporary substitute."

The old king smiled: "Whether it's the war with Winter's territory, the contract with the underground group, or the diplomacy with the church country... No matter how well I handle it, I can't change a fact.

"—I am not a naturally born human, but a ‘cup child’ created by the power of a cup girl to continue the royal blood. It’s a tool for transition and continuation of the blood.

"My father, that was how I chose it back then-I can only live to be sixty-five years old, so I must cede the throne to my children. Even if my life span is ninety-eight years... it is the same. This is because I live too long, and the political turmoil that occurred when I succeeded to the throne from generation to generation."

The corners of Henry VIII's mouth rose slightly, and a smile that was either pity or sarcasm appeared: "Yes...My father was jealous and fearful of me. He gave his only child a life-span loss when he was born. The curse-just for the continuation of the kingdom."

"..."

Annan was silent.

Facing Henry VIII's words, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Is it right? Is it against? Is it comfort? Is it encouragement?

-But these are meaningless.

"So... you don't love your children?"

After a long time, Annan asked slowly.

Hearing Annan’s words, Henry VIII showed a gratified smile that belonged to the understood, and nodded softly: "If what you are talking about is the love between parents and children... Then, yes."

He admitted it.

"Someone once said that'Cup Zhong Er' has no feelings. They may be right... The truth is that Cup Zhong Er wakes up too early.

"Humans have the instinct to love babies. Infants feel the kindness and love from all directions, so they think they are the king of the world, and they dare to extend the tentacles of consciousness. They will store this kindness and love as a way of getting to know others. The firewood burned when we know each other and love each other."

The old king said slowly: "But when the child in the cup is still in the cup, before he opens his eyes, he already has a sane and can hear all the words. And people don’t have any trouble with an unborn fetus. Taboo.

"Yes, maybe it's a mischief or a gift from a cup-bearer... When they are in the cup, before they are born, they can understand all words-they just lose this ability after they are born.

"In other words, before they feel'love', they are already immersed in the blood of human desire. They can only feel hypocrisy, desire, disgust and regret from their'father' or'mother'... It is the'love' that is revealed.

"A child in the cup is not a continuation of life at all — just a reproduction of life. When anyone sees a child in the cup, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will instinctively feel disgust, because this is a baby who is exactly the same as himself. , It is the proof of their failure in life...

"Man-made things can understand love? What a joke...I have never felt love since I was born, so how do I love others?"

Henry VIII looked to Annan: "For my father, I am his continuation; and for many of my children, they are my continuation. What if they are killed? It does not matter if they are poisoned to death. It doesn't matter if I kill. The mind is controlled, and it has nothing to do with me.

"This is not revenge, it's just a statement.

"Since my father only sees me as a tool for the continuation of the kingdom and the royal blood, then I don't need to express my opinion on matters other than this-this is of course in line with his opinion.

"If Philip or Elizabeth came to see me, I would definitely lie on the bed and pretend to have a high fever. But you are different from them. You are not my offspring, so when I saw you, there was no It is necessary to beware and camouflaged.

"Anyway, this year is the 65th year of my life. Next Wednesday will be the day when I die. It has nothing to do with me... Let them do it. Because I have no ‘love’ for them.

"To me, they are not as interesting as a book."

He said something contrary to common sense, but he didn't hesitate at all.

Annan understood it all.

Henry VIII had no "love" at all for the kingdom of Noah and his children.

There is only hatred, responsibility and indifference in his heart-hatred for the "father" who has copied his life and restrained his life, the responsibility for the "royal" and "kingdom" that binds his life, and Indifference to the future destiny of oneself and their children.

It's not that he doesn't understand love.

—But no need to understand.

I don't want to understand.
