Rise of the Plants

"It's snowing, it's snowing again, I didn't expect you to come back at this time."

In the Rusiyala Palace, the old king's face is much younger than before. He looks like he is middle-aged, and there is no trace of his previous appearance. There is a bottle next to him, which contains the scent of the forest.

With the use of the breath of the forest, the old king felt that his health was getting better day by day, and his complexion also changed and he became more energetic. Such good things naturally became the old king's daily necessities, and no nobleman could snatch them from him.

At the same time, because of the advertisement of the old king, other nobles are more fond of the smell of the forest. More and more elderly nobles are recovering and healthier, which has also led to the increasing price of drinks like the smell of the forest on the black market. High, even to the point where some ordinary little nobles can't bear it.

However, the old king, who had always been very happy, did not look so happy today, and seemed to be a little sad. The people in the palace lowered their heads and said nothing.

They all knew that whenever it snowed, the old king would be in a very bad mood.

"Your Majesty, this is today's memorial." A guard lowered his head and delivered a large number of documents.

The document contains developments across the country, various aspects of construction, continuous victories on the front lines, the formation of new pea cannon units, and so on. The Royal Crossbow was successfully tested and has been put into mass production. Even yesterday, the royal family found a home for a large group of griffins, which the military is trying to capture and tame.

If this news were normal, the old king would definitely be very happy. But today is different, because there is a secret letter in the old king's arms. Even in the morning the old king had no appetite.

"Very good, things are going well, let's continue. It's already winter, and there won't be a big war with the Kingdom of Karimsi for the time being. Let the people on the front line relax, and we'll talk about the rest next year."

There are also armies that can fight in heavy snowy weather, but this is obviously not what Rusiyala can do. There are too few mages, and without the help of mysterious power, it is impossible for the army to fight regardless of the weather.

Looking at the sky, the old king fell into memories. Before I knew it, it was evening.

The guards came to watch again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore. I don't know how much time passed, but a woman with gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament walked in. "Your Majesty, you should eat, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

The old king slowly came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "I understand, please bring the food over."

"Your Majesty, let me dine with you." The woman said with a sigh.

The old king waved his hand: "No, no one should appear around me today. The farther away, the better. I want to be alone. Remember, no one should be left behind."

Following the old king's words, the guards hidden in the dark also came out and drove away everyone around them. No one felt strange, because the old king had done this before.

However, in recent years, the old king has not done such a thing. Unexpectedly, everyone was driven away again today. The guards still followed their previous actions, keeping a vacuum around them with no one around.

The sky slowly darkened, the candlelight flickered, and the old king's shadow swayed back and forth on the ground, filled with a lonely and desolate atmosphere. The old king didn't realize it, and slowly poured himself a cup of green liquid, which was the smell of the forest.

Then he ate slowly, tasting it slowly, very slowly. In the entire hall, there was only the sound of eating, and no other sounds at all. This went on until midnight.

At midnight, footsteps sounded. The old king paused with his hands for a moment, then resumed his previous movements and continued to taste the food slowly. After a while, a figure walked in and came to the old king. The man was tall, with a cold face and muscular build. There was no way to hide the fierce aura on his body.

"Father, it's so gratifying to see you like this again."

Yes, the person who came was none other than the eldest prince, Cadderly, and he was also the only heir of the king who did not often appear in the palace.

The old king finally stopped and slowly raised his head: "You are still as energetic as before. If you figure out why you came back this time, I will rest in peace."

"You are the same as before, not much changed, just the same as when I left. That half-elf's skills are really good." The eldest prince took a look at the breath of the forest, and he knew that the old king was like this because of this thing.

The old king was not angry at all: "Yeah, if it weren't for this thing, maybe I wouldn't be able to wait for you to come back, and I wouldn't be able to wait for you to call me father again. Back then, your mother..."

"Shut up, you have no right to mention her. If you hadn't been cowardly, how could your mother have died? Why didn't you go with her? Because you were reluctant to give up your throne and your own life."

The old king's eyes dimmed: "Yeah, if it wasn't for my cowardice, how could I have reached that point. I'm going to see her soon. You are our only son. Can't you forgive your father?" The old king at that time still had no majesty as a king, and he looked like an ordinary old man.

Cadderly smiled coldly, his voice growing louder and louder from suppressed to loud. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around, such a sound might have attracted many guards.

"Haha, hahahaha, you actually want me to forgive you. If you really want to see her, why would you use such a thing to hang yourself? No, you won't see her at all. She will return to the embrace of the gods, And you will only go to hell and repent in hell." Smiling, Cadderly burst into tears, and the old king looked indifferent.

"I, I just want to apologize to her in person. Even if I go to hell, I will find a way to see her again." The old king sighed and pushed aside the smell of the forest he had always loved.

The bottle fell to the ground, splinters and water spraying out. The precious green drink was spilled all over the floor, but no one of the two people present cared. At this moment, this thing is no longer needed.

"You want to see her, what qualifications do you have to say such things. I will never forgive you, and she will never forgive you. The reason why I came to see you today is just because I am ready for revenge. You are watching in hell Go ahead, I will destroy your kingdom bit by bit, and I will make everything you cherish disappear.
