In the Southern Capital Palace, some palaces have been dusty for a long time. Those luxurious residences well planned for royal family were never in use. The Hampus Family were always busy. The great-grandfather was on the battlefield for decades and died soon after returning to the fief. Grandfather riding the country of thousands miles, and issued a series of appropriate decree with hard working. And Auston's father, Auston remembers that when he was a child, he always met his father at night. He didn’t know where his father went again everyday, and he didn’t know whether Southern Capital cotton cloth could be sold to the whole country, he don't know how many people in the fief have food and clothing or not, but he can feel the temperature of his father touch his head when he comes back. Sometimes, his father bought intricate toys from the accompany merchants, and after he entered the house and explained everything, he took them out of his pocket and shared them to his younger brother and then to him
The eldest son will always be treated strictly. The advocating simple Hampus family did not allow the eldest son of Southern Capital King to experience the extravagance of the royal family. Like plain people, Eldest son took endless study and labor work instead. It took so many generations to explore this vast Sindia continent, hard work to ensure easy of life. The cotton planting picked from the Mountains has been experimented on the fields for more than ten years, however, still have not been able to be planted with a large scale. there was news coming that the temperature was a little bit colder again, and the task that my father gave him, this year's winter clothes have not been prepared yet...
"Dad, how do you work every day and when finished?" asked the 5-year-old Auston.
"Dad needs to work until 50th, 70th, or even 100 years old, until the day I died." Hampus replied.
"Well, Dad, you only need to work to the age of 45th, because I can help you work!" As a child, Auston could also say some childish words to his father. His father’s brows won’t be tight. wrinkle only at this moment.
Sense Flower will bloom on the ruins, and Desire come from the place of prosperity.
For a country, the restoration requires talents help. Their self-control allows them to know how to balance the power in their hands. Their intelligence allows them to understand the government orders needed to reach all peoples. Their forbearance makes them fearless on this path. All the hardships, when they achieve all this and make this country strong and prosperous, then they also disappear with the dust of the past.
Auston knelt down in front the coffin, closed his eyes, and no longer reconsider the red mark on the bright red flag . He continued to leaned over, his forehead touched the cold floor, a drop of tears melted into the ground, and he said with sincere feelings: "Your Majesty, to die for you, this is the pride of my father and the glory of the Hampus family.”
When Bill swung his last sword with all his strength, the wander warrior on the opposite finally got out of his power and threw the scabbard out of his hand. He also stepped back a few steps. Facing this scene, he seemed a little surprised, but he accepted it calmly with smile at Blll, jumped off the ring, and ended the battle.
Bill stood on the stage, panting and shouting loudly, "Hey, what's your name?"
The wandering samurai just waved his hand and left in a cool manner.
This battle was won very tragically, not because Bill was more brave and powerful. Compared the physical fitness of both sides, the long-term drinking and wandering made the wander warrior weak. Bill's young body gave him the most help. It seems If you want to be a warrior, you also need to keep your body healthy and self-disciplined. But this didn't affect Bill's good mood. The referee announced that he was winning, accompanied with huge cheers from the audience. This fledgling boy won the first battle in his life.
"Not bad boy, where did you come from." A hearty voice came from the lively noise of the audience.
"I'm from Nali County, the strongest border fortress in Southern Capital." Bill laughed. What could be more proud of than this. He was going to write to his father at night, writing the first battle win, let his old antique father understand who is the glory of family, and also send grandpa his trophies.
"Have you heard Lord Hampus will come to the battlefield to watch? There seems to be a lot of contestants this year." Bill asked the people around him.
"As usual, Lord Hampus should make an oath with us, but I don't know why he didn't come this year." Someone next to him added.
"I have always wanted to see Lord Hampus. My father said that Hampus is the greatest king in the history of Sothern Capital. He is great justice and devoted to the public. that's why Southern Capital can be prosper like today." Someone said.
"It's also for you to say that Southern Capital is more dazzling because of Lord Hampus. All the people are loyal to him. I must win the match and let Lord Hampus award me the champion hat. Put on the Hampus Warrior Ribbon, which symbolizes the supreme glory." The lads around were booing, talking bragging, talking and laughing, dreaming about the day when they would become a hero.
Bill also laughed with them, using the way his grandfather taught to revitalize his muscles and recover his strength, while listening to them talking about big and small things, they went on Arguing: " it is told the Lord youngest son are stubborn, quarrel with Load often and makes the lord angry enough."
"Is that the little prince named Oliver? Did he also participate in this fighting event?" Bill remembered the previous gossip. Although the royal family naturally has the right to use holy amber, compared with the arrogance of other royal families. , The Hamps family has always been very close to the people, the gossip of Oliver are the evidence. Over the years, the prosperous business has promoted the vitality of Southern Capital. The open and inclusive social environment has brought people from all over the country here. Southern Capital is a unique city.
"Everyone said that, I don't know if it is true. If real, then Oliver will become the first prince to participate in civilian competition." Someone replied.
"Yes, we can also fight in the same position with the prince." Bill replied sighfully. From his grandfather, Bill knew how horrible era was hundreds years ago. All civilians were slaves and property of the slave owner, life and death are in the owner's mind. And today, hundreds years later, the noble prince can fight together with civilians. This is the pride of Sindia continent and Sindia people. Every Southern Capital citizen can live with dignity and live for better Life.
"This is the glory that Lord Hampus bestows on us, and I will swear my allegiance to Hampus to the death." This thought flashed through everyone's hearts. Allegiance to Hampus, The king see minister as like brothers, and The minister see king as partner. The king see minister as servant, and minister see king as common relation. The king see minister as trash, The minister see king to be the enemy. Thousands of people actively took part the Competition Event to gain the glory of Hampus in the sunshine day.
However, everyone didn't know that in the Kingdom's Capital thousands of miles away, the blood of their King Hampus had already flowed into the soil and dissipated.
The night is so long and so cold, Auston's blood is almost condensed, and it is not an easy choice to die easily or live hard. The highly guarded Sindia Palace concealed all the darkness, and the South, thousands of miles away, could not hear the call of Auston, this was definitely not the time for revenge.
"My nid, I have lost the closest friend, how painful my heart is, how should I face my teacher, your grandfather" The king leaned over and took Auston's hand and embraced him Like a kind elder giving comfort to a younger generation, he cried unscrupulously, as if he had lost the most precious treasure.
Auston did not refuse, and was embraced by the king obediently like a baby. At this moment, he cry with the king and could not speak until the king spoke again. "My kid, your father is gone. You are my nephew. The Hampus family can’t end. I need you to cheer up, remember your father’s teachings, and take the burden of the Southern Capital for safeguard my Sindia Empire. Explore the territory and protect the Southern Capital for me, okay?”
"I am young and ignorant, and did not learn much of my father's experience. At this moment, my father has left suddenly. I am really terrified, and unqualified for Your majesty's trust. Please reconsider it." Auston has been guided for more than 20 years. Even if he is not a political old hand, you understand what it means at the moment. The father with mature capability is gone, and he is so young. and under suspicious of the old king. If today’s he cannot handle properly , he is afraid it will be announced tomorrow that he is in deep sorrow of father death and fell into the water, which will cause imminent chaos in the Southern Capital.
"Once our ancestors swore together that Kingdom Capital will be the co-lord of us, the other four capitals will guard the Kingdom. The South is the inheritance of your Hampus family. How can you shirk responsibility as the eldest son? Guard not by Hampus Family, who will guard?" The king's voice rang in his ears, as if he was questioning and mocking.
"Your Majesty, all the land belongs to you, and you decide where they belong." Auston replied after silence.
"Auston, I declare in the name of King Sindia that from now on, you will become the new king of Southern cCpital. You will hide your name and call only with your surname, so that the glory of Hampus will appear again in the Southern Capital." The last time the edict was issued, Southern Capital lost his king; the emperor issued another edict, and Southern Capital has new king. The generations form alliance, mutual friendship.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Auston, from now on, is the new king of the Southern Capital. The name Auston disappear in history and will never be mentioned again. From now on, he will be Hampus King-Southern Capital King.
