Chapter 422: The Throne

"Why me?" Eric asked in disbelief, "I thought you would be king by yourself." "I did have this idea." I told the truth, "but after thinking about it, I still I gave up this plan." "Why?" Eric asked in a daze, "One of the main reasons is the lifespan." I shrugged, "You also have thirteen years?!" Eric fell silent. Exclaimed, "On the contrary." I shook my head, "I can live a long time, until the ages will forget me." "What are you kidding?" Eric said with a look of disbelief.
I was silent for a few seconds, and finally decided to explain why I didn't want to be me, and of course the reason I used to convince Eric was indispensable. "The oldest elder of our clan is more than 7,000 years old, and his body is still not aging. No one in our clan has ever died naturally. All are due to war or accident." I said. "That means I can live for a long, long time, maybe even until the world is destroyed." "So what?" Eric frowned, and believed my statement for the time being, "You have been leading us. Okay?"
"Eric, I'm not surprised that you think so. I believe Lance and all the restitutionists will think so, thinking that it is not a problem for me to be king forever." I smiled and said, "But what about afterwards? Waiting for yours. After death, do your sons and grandsons still think so? For them, a king who will never die. One hundred or two hundred years, they will go from respect to awe, from awe to fear. And then There is also jealousy. People can accept a tyrant, because the tyrant will pass away, but they cannot accept an immortal king, because the human heart is like this."
"This..." Eric was stunned when he heard the words, and I immediately continued to strike while the iron was hot. "And I am also not interested in the throne. Compared to staying on the throne, I yearn for a free life, and my ability is only The best performance can be obtained in the first line. In that case, why don't I give it to a more suitable person?" "Gavin, I..." Eric took a deep breath, "Why me?" Because you have enough talents to sit on the throne, your character also makes me rest assured that you will not be black hands on us, and you are also born a nobleman, you can use this to stabilize the people and those noble forces that will vote for us. The most important thing is that your goals are consistent with ours." I said sincerely, "Please, Eric."
To be honest, do I yearn for the throne? Of course there are some, but the main reason why I chose to give up it is not for the sake of justice. I am not so noble. The reason that really makes me not want to be king is that I am so tired! Don’t you see those wise monarchs recorded in the history books work until the wee hours every day? I also don’t lack the status, power, money, and beauty that the king has. The position of the leader of the restorationists allows me to have both power and status. The shares of the Dark Silver Chamber of Commerce allow me to pretend that money is just a number. As for the beauty? Mikasa is still waiting for me to put her in bed, cough cough, in short, I don’t lack all the enjoyment that the king should have, but I lack a title. In that case, why should I undertake the drudgery?
"Thank you Gawain, in that case, I am obligated." Eric said firmly, and finally got on the thief ship under my persuasion. He accepted the throne, and then notified the restoring party about the matter. Go up and down, and persuaded Lance and others with my rhetoric. "There are some things we have to say first, Eric." I said with a solemn expression, "When we take power, the power of the king will definitely decrease. You must be psychologically prepared, and it is necessary for me to hold power, or even go around. After you make a decision, after all, I am better than you and more prepared for going into the world." "I accept." Eric nodded calmly, "This is what it should be."...
