Chapter 819 Rumors About the Ryan Family (Part 1)

Looking at Ilsa whose eyes were red again, Gozewen felt distressed.

Since Ilsa ascended the throne... no, it should be said that it was more accurate to say that since Ilsa was confirmed as the new crown prince.

Since Ilsa was confirmed as the new crown prince, Gale has lived a secluded life.

Most of the time, he stayed in his room reading books, and basically did not interact with anyone except Ilsa and Gozewen.

However, even with Ilsa and Gozewen, Gale seemed to avoid seeing them if possible. Even if they met, Gale's reaction and performance were colder than before.

There was a feeling of deliberately distancing himself from Ilsa and Gozewen.

Gozewen could understand Gale's current state of mind.

The throne that should have belonged to him was sat on by his own daughter.

It would be abnormal if Gale did not feel uncomfortable and awkward in his heart.

Therefore, Gozewen understood Gale who was "making trouble" now.

But this made Ilsa suffer.

Being alienated by your own biological father, no one would feel good about it.

Ge Zewen raised his hand and touched Ilsa's little head:

"Ilsa, don't worry, your father is just being upset. After a while, your father will slowly come to his senses."

Ilsa buried her head in Ge Zewen's chest, and her shoulders twitched because she was crying.

Until Ilsa was tired of crying, her emotions finally stabilized.

"I'm sorry...Grandpa."

Ilsa wiped the tears from her face and apologized to Ge Zewen.

"It's all my fault. Your medicine has gone cold."

Because Ilsa was crying just now, it took a lot of time, so the medicine that was originally to be fed to Ge Zewen went cold.

Go Zewen smiled at Ilsa's apology.

"It's okay, it's okay, the medicine is still warm and can be drunk. Come on, Elsa, continue to feed me the medicine, and tell me how you've been doing recently."

Elsa came to feed Ge Zewen medicine every day.

While feeding Ge Zewen medicine, Elsa would also tell Ge Zewen about her recent life from time to time.

Elsa picked up Ge Zewen's medicine again, and while feeding Ge Zewen medicine with a small spoon, she began to talk about her recent life.

From her recent meals, she talked about some difficulties she encountered in handling government affairs recently.

In front of Ge Zewen, Elsa never lied or concealed anything.

Therefore, Elsa also told Ge Zewen about her plan to cultivate her own power.

After listening to Elsa's words quietly, Ge Zewen said in a calm tone:

"Elsa, why do you suddenly want to cultivate your own power?"

Ilsa lowered her head.

After thinking for a long time, Elsa finally chose to tell the truth:

"... because I am afraid that Mr. Jacob will become bad one day."

"There are many people who are more willing to listen to Mr. Jacob than me."

"If Mr. Jacob becomes bad one day, I may not be able to deal with him now."

"So I want to make my power stronger, so strong that even if Mr. Jacob becomes bad, I don't have to be afraid..."

Speaking of this, Elsa paused.

Then she continued with a tone of guilt and apology:

"Grandpa, will it be bad for me to do this? Will it hurt Mr. Jacob and others' hearts?"

The reason why Elsa suddenly wanted to cultivate her own power was purely because William's words before aroused Elsa's sense of crisis.

Ilsa realized that if Jacob had a rebellious heart one day, it would be a terrible thing.

Elsa, who felt more and more anxious the more she thought about it, decided to redouble her efforts to learn how to govern the country, and to win over outstanding talents from all aspects to cultivate a force that was absolutely loyal to her.

A real "Queen's Faction" that can counter the "Jacob Faction".

As soon as Ilsa finished speaking, Gozewen smiled slightly:

"Ilsa, don't feel guilty."

"You did the right thing."

"You know to cultivate your own power, which is good."

"Jacob will definitely understand you, so I believe Jacob will not complain about you because of this."

At this point, Gozewen changed the subject:

"But - you don't need to doubt Jacob's loyalty."

"I have been a partner with Jacob for decades, and I am very confident in Jacob's character and Jacob's loyalty to the empire."

"So Ilsa, you don't need to worry that Jacob will become bad, betray you, and betray the empire."

"Anyone may betray the empire, but Jacob will never do anything to fail the empire."

"Also, Elsa, you must remember that it is not enough to just focus on attracting all kinds of talents. Elsa, you must also work harder to make yourself a 'strong man'."

"I have lived for so many years and experienced many things, so I have also realized many truths."

"One of the truths I realized is that strong people will attract each other."

"When you become a very strong person, you can attract other strong people to your side."

"It sounds like nonsense, right? But it is true."

"This is my personal experience, the stronger a person is, the more he can attract other strong people to his side."

"This is even more true for the king of a country."

Hearing this, Ilsa couldn't help but smile, and then said in a joking tone:

"Grandpa, according to what you said, are Mr. Jacob and Mr. Bancroft attracted by your excellence and strength, so they are willing to be your ministers and serve you?"

"Of course." Ge Zewen smiled without hesitation, "Grandpa, I am not bragging. Although grandpa has no other outstanding abilities, there is only one ability that makes me far better than others."

"That's why I'm very brave."

Ilsa flattened her mouth and said angrily:

"Grandpa, you still said you weren't bragging?"

"Grandpa didn't lie to you." Ge Zewen laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Grandpa relied on his extraordinary courage to attract outstanding people like Jacob and Bancro to his side."

"Grandpa is a person who can boldly trust others and boldly delegate power to others."

"Trusting others unconditionally and handing over power to others is something that people without a certain amount of courage would never dare to do."

"Jacob and Bancro were moved by my unconditional trust, and then they were attracted to me, and finally decided to become my subjects and loyal to me."

"...Why do I always feel like grandpa, you are bragging..."

"Hahaha, believe it or not, it's up to you. I'll tell you more about my past with Jacob and Bancro when I have time."

"In short, what I want to say is - Ilsa, you must work harder to make yourself stronger."

"When you become stronger, you will naturally attract other strong people to join you, so that your power will gradually become stronger."

"...Well, I understand." Ilsa smiled helplessly, then raised her head and murmured, "Can I attract other strong people... Can I really attract other strong people to join me? …”

As soon as Ilsa finished speaking, Ge Zewen said in a firm tone:

"As long as Ilsa you keep working hard and getting stronger, one day a strong person will be attracted to you, and then they will willingly join you and be loyal to you."

Speaking of this, Ge Zewen changed into a joking tone:

"Perhaps in a few years, strong men attracted by your strength will appear one by one. I just hope that those strong men attracted by you are attracted by your strength, not your beauty. ah."
