Chapter 740 The end of an era!

A year passed quietly.

During this year, the Silvermoon Kingdom pursued a policy of recuperating and recuperating. Apart from quelling the plague that spread in the northern border, there was no other action.

Saying goodbye to late autumn, the cold winter is coming, and there is a bleak atmosphere everywhere.

On this day, Guy found Simon suddenly, and said with a sad face, “The butler of Villarreal is seriously ill, do you want to go and have a look?”

Villarreal? Simon, who was dealing with government affairs, showed confusion on his face, and it took him a long time to remember that this was the butler of Grand Duke Gaseppe who stayed in the royal capital.

When the group of them came to the capital to go to school, the old butler had taken care of them a lot. Now that they are seriously ill, it is reasonable to go to visit them.

Came to the aristocratic district with Guy, and the nobles met on the road saluted the king one after another.

“Your Majesty is coming!”

At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the Grand Duke’s mansion. After Simon and Guy arrived, the attendants who were standing at the door in charge of reception quickly shouted into the mansion.

Walking into this familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard, Simon was suddenly in a daze. So, has it been so long?

“Simon!” Arina, who was already here, walked over with red eyes and took Simon’s arm: “You are late, Grandpa Villaril has already left.”

The Grand Duke’s Mansion and the Crown Prince’s Mansion are directly opposite each other, and the old housekeeper did not take much care of her, Her Royal Highness, back then.

Simon was also a little sad when he heard this, but he didn’t know how to comfort her, so he could only hold Irina tightly in his arms.

On the contrary, Chiara, the maid next to Irina, said slightly sadly: “Grandpa Villaril passed away with a smile in the end. He must be happy that he once served a king.”

The family that Villaril belongs to is a family of servants who are responsible for serving members of the royal family. For a collateral child like him, serving the king is indeed a great honor.

At this time, Grand Duke Gasepe also came out of the room, and said with a smile: “I have lived to this age, and now death is considered to be the end of my life, what is there to be sad about!”

Although he said so verbally, the corners of Grand Duke Gaseppe’s eyes always showed loneliness.

He is the youngest son of the fifteenth king, and his origin is controversial. He was once considered to be of impure blood, so he was not popular at the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that the royal family’s family of servants will arrange for him a collateral child to be a housekeeper.

Although the identity of the master made the butler Villarreal look blank, he didn’t hold any resentment, but kept silently doing his job well.

And after Grand Duke Gaseppe was expelled to the southern border, he stayed in the royal capital for decades. If Simon hadn’t turned out, he might not even be able to wait for his master’s return.

This kind of loyal old friend’s death, if it is not sad, it is completely deceiving…

Under the leadership of Grand Duke Gaseppe, Simon paid homage to the old man who had taken care of him, and then returned to the palace with a heavy heart.

Guy, Irina and others still stayed in the Grand Duke’s mansion, immersed in pain.

Walking on the road in the noble area, a nobleman suddenly stopped Simon: “Your Majesty, my grandfather wants to see you!”

Simon looked up and found that it turned out to be the prime minister’s grandson, De Fonte. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled: “If the prime minister wants to see me, why not just go to the palace?”

As the Prime Minister of the Silver Moon Kingdom, he can see the king anytime he wants, so why bother to find someone to notify him?

De Fonte’s face was sad: “Grandpa’s body is very weak, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive this winter.”

Perhaps it was because he had already felt numb to death, and upon hearing this supposedly sad news, Simon didn’t even feel a little bit.

He nodded expressionlessly, followed De Fonte, and saw Prime Minister Medel lying on the bed.

Seeing Simon’s arrival, Medel, who had an old face, sat up from the bed with difficulty: “Ahem, His Majesty is here!”

Simon was concerned: “How is the Prime Minister’s health?”

Medel coughed a few more times, and said with a weak and wry smile: “Although my old bones should last a few days, I probably won’t be able to survive this winter. I’m looking for Your Majesty this time to talk to you Discuss the candidate for the next prime minister, who do you think is more suitable?”

As a bachelor who has hardly practiced extraordinary power, if he can live to nearly ninety years old, he is already blessed by the goddess, and he absolutely dare not have any extravagant hopes for the future.

And as early as King Jonah ascended the throne, he should have retired honorably, but it was only after a big mess happened that he delayed again and again.

Now, Simon, who is the eighteenth king, has been on the throne for seven or eight years, and he is still the prime minister appointed by the sixteenth king.

Looking at the successive prime ministers of the Silvermoon Kingdom, there is absolutely no one who has served longer than him.

Although Simon’s purpose of not changing the prime minister is only to make the Silvermoon Kingdom more stable, but he should be content…

Simon was silent for a moment, then replied: “What do you think of Gasepe’s grandfather?”

“Grand Duke Gaseppe?” Medel was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: “I thought you would choose between Mike and Deborah.”

Generally speaking, the prime minister appointed by the king must be his confidant.

As of now, only Mike and Deborah are the senior administrative officials of Silvermoon Kingdom who truly belong to Simon’s direct line.

Deborah is close to the southern faction, and he has nothing to do with it.

But Mike is a local faction in the capital, and he is also married to their family. He approached Simon this time to persuade Simon to appoint Mike as the prime minister.

Unexpectedly, Simon directly broke common sense and gave another answer.

Simon replied blankly: “The appointment of the prime minister is not only based on ability and closeness, but also a political consideration. The prestige of the two of them is not enough to be the prime minister.”

Medel nodded meaningfully with a smile: “Political considerations? Indeed!”

As the leader of the collateral nobles of the royal family, Grand Duke Gaseppe has a very high prestige in the Silver Moon Kingdom. It is indeed more suitable for him to be the prime minister than the two young people like Mike and Deborah.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries and confirming that there was nothing else, Simon was about to leave.

But Medel stopped him, and said in a weak tone: “Know how to advance and retreat, and be sensible, Simon, you are indeed a good king!”

After finishing speaking, Medel lay back on the bed again, and moaned weakly, her breath getting weaker and weaker.

Simon paused, and murmured firmly, “I know!”

Immediately afterwards, he turned and left without looking back.

Back at the palace, the attendant quickly handed over a letter: “Your Majesty, urgent report from the south, Marquis Kim is critically ill!”

Simon’s eyes were darkened, and he forcibly supported the table with his hands so as not to let himself fall down. After the dizziness was relieved, he didn’t dare to delay, and hurriedly used the space shuttle to rush towards the southern border.

In the room, Simon’s uncle Farid, father Valéry, mother Hina and others all gathered beside the bedside of Marquis Kim with sad faces.

Ripples appeared in the space, and Simon stepped out in a hurry.

Seeing Simon’s arrival, Marquis Kim, whose eyes were cloudy, regained a little clarity.

He showed a kind smile, and said tremblingly: “It’s Simon, I’m afraid grandpa will die, come to grandpa, grandpa wants to tell you a few words.”

Everyone made way for Simon, who knelt down beside Marquis Kim’s bed with trembling body. His numb defense built in response to sadness was once again crushed by the cold death.

Holding Simon’s hand, Marquis Kim murmured weakly: “My good boy, since you are the king of the Silvermoon Kingdom, you should be responsible to everyone in this country. Remember! You must act fairly and know people well. Beware of sycophants, unite…to unite with relatives, only then can…govern this country well. Cough cough!”

After explaining these few words, Marquis Kim coughed violently, and everyone else in the room looked worried.

At this moment, Simon couldn’t control his tears any longer, and choked up on the edge of the bed: “I know, I know, grandpa!”

“Hmm…” Marquis Kim smiled gratifiedly, and slowly died away.

He, Villarreal, and Medel were originally people of the same era. The age difference between the three of them would definitely not exceed five years. If they hadn’t broken through to become a master professional, they would have reached the end of their lifespan.

He was dragging his breath before, because he was still worried about Simon, but now that he has finished explaining the matter, the breath he held in his heart has dissipated, and he can no longer resist the call of death.

After choking for a while, to bury the sadness in his heart, Simon wiped away his tears and stood up as if nothing had happened. He turned to look at his uncle and parents: “I have important things to do in the capital, I’ll go back first.”

Valery reprimanded in dissatisfaction: “How precious is your time?! Can’t you wait until your grandfather’s funeral is over?!”

Simon gritted his teeth and replied: “Silver Moon Kingdom is still in danger, every second I waste here is irresponsible to this country!”

Seeing that the relationship between the two was full of gunpowder, Hina quickly stood up and smoothed things over: “Forget it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The child is now the king, and there are many things to be busy. Can’t you be more considerate to him?” ?!”

Valery snorted coldly, and did not speak again, while Simon nodded slightly to the crowd, stepped into the space again, and returned to the capital.

Back at the palace, Grand Duke Gasepe was already waiting here, and he also learned that Marquis Kim was critically ill.

After seeing Simon, Grand Duke Gaseppe smiled wryly and shook his head: “The little **** is gone?”

Simon nodded with a serious face, Grand Duke Gasepe smiled even more bitterly, and scolded: “This little bastard, when I was young, I asked him to practice seriously, and he didn’t listen!

He had to wait until he was old and his life span was short before he regretted it. This is good, the fame and fortune he has been pursuing all his life will not be brought to the world after death. ”

Simon remained silent. He knew very well that it was the embarrassing status of Grand Duke Gaseppe that gave the young Marquis Kim an unrealistic fantasy that he could break the rules and achieve great things.

But it turns out that this world is so cold.

Unless you can re-create the rules, you can only submit to it. No one is exceptional, even the king, must abide by the rules set by the Prime.

Otherwise, the reforms in the past dynasties of the Blue Star Calendar would not be so difficult, let alone [The law of the ancestors is immutable! ] This kind of words makes you want to hit someone!

Now that the people’s livelihood has been restored, the reform of the Silver Moon Kingdom must be put on the agenda!

Simon looked at Grand Duke Gaseppe with firm eyes: “Grandfather, Medel may not be able to do it these days. I want to ask you to be the new Prime Minister. What do you think?”

Looking at Simon with a serious face, Grand Duke Gaseppe thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.
