Chapter 964: Gale's Promise

Since Ge Zewen's condition worsened, at Ge Zewen's instruction, many people have come to Ge Zewen's dormitory to visit Ge Zewen, who is running out of time.

Among those who came to visit Ge Zewen, his only son, Gail, was naturally included.

In the huge dormitory, there were only Ge Zewen lying on the bed and Gail sitting at the head of the bed.

"Father..." Gail whispered softly while holding Ge Zewen's withered hand tightly.

Looking at Ge Zewen's pale face without a trace of blood, Gail's face gradually showed a strong sadness.

Even in his eye sockets, there was a little moisture.

His father was going to die - although he had prepared for this mentally, Gail still couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.

Ge Zewen was a very emotional, sentimental, and family-oriented person.

That's why Ge Zewen has always been very concerned about family harmony.

Thanks to Gozewen's emphasis on affection and family, their small family is far more humane than other royal families in history.

Gale is Gozewen's only son. Although the father and son have been in constant conflict since childhood, the family affection can never be cut off.

"Father..."

Gale had a lot to say to Gozewen, but after thinking for a long time, he finally squeezed out this sentence:

"I... can't bear to leave you..."

When he finished the last word, Gale's tone was already very obvious.

Gozewen, who was lying on the bed, also had a gentle smile on his face at this time, pulled his withered big hand out of Gale's palm, and then stroked Gale's wrinkled and rough cheek.

"When I first saw you, you were lying down and I was sitting."

Gozewen said in a joking tone.

"I didn't expect that when my life was about to end, it would be the other way around, you would be sitting and I would be lying."

After hearing Ge Zewen's witty words, Gale couldn't help but smile.

"Father,

Why do you still tell such jokes at this time..."

"At this time, I have to tell jokes more." Ge Zewen chuckled a few times, "This way the atmosphere won't be too sad. You know, I hate sad atmospheres the most."

Perhaps because he said too many words in one breath, Ge Zewen's breathing became a little faster.

After taking several deep breaths, Ge Zewen's breathing became smooth and stable again.

Looking at Ge Zewen who was taking a deep breath, the sadness in Gale's eyes became more intense.

The father who was originally very strong has now become so weak...

After making his breathing smooth and stable again, Gozewen stroked Gale's face and whispered:

"Gale, can you answer a few questions for your father?"

Gozewen turned his head and looked directly at Gale.

Although Gozewen is now weak, his eyes are still sharp.

"Gale, have you ever resented me, the father who deprived you of your status as the crown prince and made Ilsa the 13th emperor?"

After hearing Gozewen's question, Gale's expression froze.

After a long silence, Gale whispered:

"...If I say I don't blame you in private, it would be a lie."

"When I heard from you in person: You want Ilsa to replace me as the 13th emperor of the empire, I blamed you at that time."

"I thought to myself: Father, why didn't you choose me? Could it be that Ilsa, who was not even 10 years old at the time, could be more suitable than me to be the emperor of the Britannia Empire?"

After listening to Gale's words quietly, Gozewen was not angry.

Instead, he laughed out loud.

"Gail, you are willing to tell the truth, which makes your father very happy."

"If you say you don't blame me at all, I won't believe it."

"If this happened to me, I would definitely question and blame my father."

"Now it has been 3 years since Ilsa ascended the throne. After so much time, do you still resent your father?"

Gail was silent again for a while.

"...I don't feel resentful anymore." Gail sighed softly, "It's been so long, no matter how unwilling I am, I have already let it go..."

"I don't feel resentful anymore, father."

"The person wearing this crown now is my daughter, not another outsider, and I don't feel resentful anymore. Anyway, this crown will be worn on Ilsa's head sooner or later, so what does it matter if it's worn earlier or later?"

"Don't feel resentful anymore..." Gozewen repeated what Gail had just said.

Then he said in a meaningful tone:

"Gail, I hope what you said just now is true..."

As soon as Gozewen finished speaking, Gail said without hesitation:

"Of course it's true!"

"If it's true, that's good." Gozewen's tone gradually became serious, "Gail, can you promise me one thing?"

"Father, please say."

"Although I have let go of my life and death now, there are still two things that make me worry."

Gozewen said softly.

"The first thing is the future of the Britannia Empire. I am afraid that my country will meet with misfortune after my death."

"The second thing is the future of you and Ilsa."

"When I decided to pass the throne to Elsa, I was worried about whether there would be a rift in your relationship with Elsa."

"Sure enough, after Elsa ascended the throne, you lived a secluded life and had less contact with everyone, including Elsa."

"I know you are avoiding suspicion, but I know that part of the reason you do this is that you don't want to see Elsa."

"Ilsa has cried to me many times about this."

"The thing I hate and fear most in my life is family disharmony."

"Because I was born in a disharmony family."

"You should have heard about what a bastard your grandfather is."

"With the help of Jacob, Bankro, Iser and others, I spent about half a lifetime to finally clean up the series of messes left to me by my bastard father."

"My father is one of the most incompetent and tyrannical monarchs in our country. Not only is his attitude towards his own people very bad, but his attitude towards his own family is also very bad."

"I just don't want my descendants to repeat the tragic experience of my youth, I have always attached great importance to family harmony. "

"I am very proud of my life. Although I have not made great contributions to the country that are worthy of being recorded in history, my family has always been very harmonious when I am still alive."

"I hope that this record of mine will continue after my death."

"Since you just said that you will no longer feel unwilling to not wear the crown, then Gail, can you promise me?"

"Promise me - you will reconcile with Ilsa and return to the normal and warm father-daughter relationship before."

Gozewen looked at Gail with a sharp gaze.

And bathed in Gozewen's sharp eyes, Gail was silent for two or three seconds, and then nodded heavily:

"Yes! Father, I promise you!"
