Black Iron Crown

In mid-September of the fifty-three years of the empire, the harvest season had arrived. Amid the pervasive aroma of wheat, the entire empire entered the joy of a good harvest.

"Father!"

Reiner's five sons and two daughters gathered in his bedroom.

He was dressed in a rich uniform, and Frante sat beside him.

"What's the matter?" Reiner's second son Ailian asked. He was canonized as an earl and commanded 2,400 soldiers in the military camp outside the imperial capital.

Several other people also looked at Reiner with probing eyes, each of them more or less had their own career.

Reiner's eldest son, Daisen, has already participated in politics as the prince, and many government affairs need to be handled by him. He himself has the title of duke and a large territory. There are 800 troops in the imperial capital. It is the right and power of being a prince.

In addition to the second son Ailian, Reiner's third son also developed in the army, and both of them have good military talents.

The fourth son, Campbell, joined the church and became a respected bishop. There is only one bishop who is only 19 years old.

The fifth son, Panmes, is still receiving education in the court, and the land under his title is still under the management of the royal family.

Each of Rainer's sons has a bright future, as do his two daughters. The eldest daughter is seventeen years old and is currently engaged to the son of Duke Cholal. The two of them have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship.

The second daughter is thirteen years old and has no marriage contract yet. Reiner bought them huge wealth, tens of thousands of acres of land, forests, and various minerals, plus some manors and villages, to ensure that they can maintain their wealth no matter what. life.

"I called you here today because I have something to announce, and I will announce it in ten days so that everyone will know!" said the fifty-five-year-old Gao Gao.

"As you can see!" Reiner pointed to his hair and the wrinkles on his face: "I'm old, and I don't have more energy to do more government affairs. Seriously, I'm tired of all this!"

"Father...you..." Several people's faces changed drastically when they heard the words. Desien was about to say something when he was interrupted by Reiner.

"Actually, you can do just as well without me!"

"I have many excellent ministers, vassals, and a large number of excellent grassroots officials,

Such a huge management structure constitutes the cornerstone of the empire. Dethan, my dear eldest son, you have also helped me share a lot of government affairs. After so many years, you are already very familiar with it, and you can take it over. With this important task, continue to move forward with the empire! "

"Look, your brothers have grown up too. They have their own territories and lead the army in the imperial capital. They will all assist you in controlling this country. Your uncle and members of the Merland family will support you. Maybe some people really Bad intentions, but trust me, no one dares to speak out against you!"

"And in the dark, Logan will be your sharpest dagger. This empire is already impregnable, and I stay here just to deal with trivial matters day and night. Your father wants to take your mother to travel together Heshan!"

"You know, although I have laid down such a large territory, I haven't really known any place. I just stepped on that place in endless wars and conquered it. That's all. I want to know these things now. The local way of life, their customs, how many dishes do they usually eat on National Day, what kind of celebrations are there!"

Reiner stretched out his hand to signal his eldest son to come over, and he came to Reiner's side, half-kneeling in front of his father's knee.

Reiner put his hands on the shoulders of his eldest son who had devoted the most effort: "Deathen, you are thirty years old, and it is a good time to be young and vigorous. Take advantage of your energetic and wise time to fulfill your dreams. I You have made outstanding achievements in this life, and the next is your era!"

"I will arrange everything during this time, and it will be the day you ascend the throne in two months!"

Reiner glanced at his other four sons. Over the years, he had clearly told his sons that the right to inherit the throne belonged only to Dethan.

If an empire wants to pass on for a long time, it must have a stable and reliable succession system.

"It's... Father!" Daishen pursed his lips, his eyes were slightly red, he could feel his father's love and expectation for him.

"Send Ante back to Bazalan Kingdom! You have enough influence there, right?" Reiner said with a smile to his eldest son.

"Yes, father, please rest assured that I have sufficient control over the army nobles of the Kingdom of Bazalan and the chamber of commerce!"

"Very good! You all go, remember to come here for a meal at night, it's just our family!" Reiner and Frante looked at each other and said to their children.

On November 5, fifty-three years of the empire, in the magnificent conference hall of Tesca Palace, more than all the vassals of the empire arrived at the imperial capital from their own territories and gathered in the center of power of the empire.

When Reiner, dressed in royal robes, appeared on the high platform of the meeting hall and announced his decision to abdicate, the entire hall was suddenly in an uproar, causing an uproar among the wind and dust.

The seven hundred and sixty-five barons, ninety-seven earls, and twelve dukes in the entire empire were all shocked.

In their view, His Majesty the Great Emperor, who is only fifty-five years old, is at the peak of his spring and autumn, and can still lead the empire forward for at least ten years. It is unbelievable to announce his abdication now, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone expressed their objections very clearly, and Duke Joral even dropped the Duke's scepter in his hand for this.

However, Reiner's attitude was extremely firm. After clearly emphasizing his decision, the edict was sent to every vassal, and on the second day, it was watched by the entire imperial capital and people who came from all over to watch the ceremony. Under this, Dethanon was crowned as the new emperor of the Ridkar Empire.

In the midst of confusion, anger, sadness, reluctance, and even a small amount of joy and happiness, Leiner took his elite guards and embarked on a journey to visit the Great Emperor of the Empire with his wife Dethan.

"Ha, in fact, our whole life is really regrettable!" Reiner said, looking at the old nun in nun's costume in front of him.

"You..." Just as the old nun was about to say something, Reiner left the royal monastery without looking back.

"Fate, I hate you! Thank you too." The old nun returned to the statue of the Holy Father and whispered.

sorry? There was a point, and Reiner couldn't tell what it felt like.

Maybe it was the lost youth, full of youthful and childish youth, thirty-nine years passed in the blink of an eye, the sixteen-year-old boy at that time became an old man buried half in the earth, and the bright girl at that time also became The gray-haired old nun in the monastery, the grievances and grievances that have been entangled all her life have no end in the end.

There is nothing Reiner can do about it, anyway, time is the best medicine, and when he is buried in the soil, he will definitely not have such troubles.

Lena thought so, leaving everything behind.

He and Frante beside him looked at each other and smiled. The heroine who was tough enough to fight with him, and led the army to cause huge troubles for him is now just a little old lady with a bit of a stoop.

Compared with the so-called love that can't be obtained at the beginning, a wife who has lived together for more than 30 years and explored each other's body and soul is more important.

"Drive!" Reiner had already sent the coachman away, holding the reins and yelling at the four horses in front: "Let's go!"

The autumn wind is bleak, but people are affectionate.

On the boulevard, a large carriage drawn by four horses galloped wildly, and the old lady could be faintly heard cursing.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"The back is a romantic story that belongs to the elderly."
