Become a matchmaker in otome games

Chapter 64

"What do you want?" Fred frowned. "Autonomy? Impossible."

For the royal family, it is absolutely impossible to delegate power. It must be controlled by the royal family or someone designated by the royal family.

However, Old Rhodes and the others couldn't trust the nobles, and naturally they refused to retreat, and the two sides were at a stalemate here.

Fred was faintly frustrated, which was different from his experience from childhood to adulthood. His prestige as the crown prince could not be conveyed to these people. No matter how much he promised, no matter how much he promised, the other party would not be able to let go.

In the eyes of the common people, the promise of the nobles is not worth mentioning, because the nobles have the confidence and strength to tear up the promise at any time, especially the nobles have the existence of magic. Under the premise that the two sides are inherently unequal, the possibility of cooperation is too small , If you want to reach a cooperation, it is necessary for Fred to cede most of the rights, so that the two sides can be on the same height.

But excluding this point, Fred's plan is feasible, but Fred's smooth life for many years made him forget that his identity accounted for a large part of the reason why he was able to do many things successfully Because of this reason, nobles should be more or less concerned about Fred's identity.

But there are always people who don't buy his account. Like these commoners, the status of the crown prince is useless to them.

"Your Highness will be a very good monarch," Old Rhodes said indifferently, "but only for the bright side of the Kingdom, and the shadow part under the sun of the Kingdom, Your Highness should stay away. You know this world well. Still too little."

Fred was silent, he was not reconciled, the plan collapsed before it could be implemented, and all the preparations he had made for the plan were wiped out in one day.

After all, this reform was mixed with some of his selfishness, and he regarded it more as revenge, instead of Safi's revenge.

After all, Fred has his position, and he can't make some concessions. If he can't negotiate a successful cooperation this time, he doesn't know when he will be able to catch Old Rhodes and the others next time and communicate again.

Perhaps, he could use force to force people to stay?
He raised his eyes, but Safi understood his intention in an instant, put a hand on the back of Fred's, and stopped him.

"We can ignore other things for the time being. I just want to ask, Martin, what are you going to do? There are many other children, do you plan to let them live in this world forever? Their dignity has been trampled on, and they will never see the light of life .” Safi asked, her voice soft, but her question was very realistic.

Martin is now used to ridicule and insults. It is obvious that his words are daily for him, but this is not what it should be. If he was born under the light, how could he suffer these humiliations?
"Martin was hunted down, isn't it thanks to you?" Old Rhodes sneered, sarcastically, "If you really treated Martin equally, how could you let him fall into such a situation?"

This is an irrefutable fact, but it is also a moral kidnapping. For nobles like Fred and Safi, what they need to protect is the interests of the majority of people. Even if a small number of people are sacrificed, there is no way. There is no reform without sacrifice, but Martin is the one who sacrificed.

"Means are necessary, I believe you know this truth better than us," Safi said, his gaze fell on Old Rhodes' lap, "Isn't it?"

Safi pointed out something, Old Rhodes' lips curled up slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at his broken leg.

This leg was stepped on a trap during a theft, and in order to escape, he cut off one of his own legs cruelly, and then escaped.

But why does the little girl in front of her know?

Old Rhodes looked at Safi carefully for a few times, and suddenly his pupils shrank. His strange appearance was too short for anyone to notice.

"Martin's matter will be settled soon," Old Rhodes shook his head and stopped looking at Safi. "I've already talked to them, and they won't pose any danger to Martin anymore."

"But……"

"But Miss is right about one thing," Old Rhodes sighed, stroking the top of Martin's head with his rough hands, "These children, they should have a right to choose."

They should choose for themselves whether to walk in the sun or lurk in the dark.

But now he can't provide these children with any choice, he can only lead these children to sink into the darkness.

Fred understood immediately and promised: "I can provide teachers for teaching and housing for children."

Old Rhode's attitude changed too quickly, and Safi guessed that he probably remembered something.

Ten years ago, she was still a child, how could she escape from the guild by her own ability, after all, she was helped by others.

And the person who helped her back then was Rhodes.

Rhode's broken leg was so iconic that she recognized it almost as soon as she saw his face.

Back then, Rhodes saw that she was from a noble family, and tried his best to send her out of the abandoned avenue, otherwise how could she escape home so easily.

All these years, she has always been grateful to Old Rhodes in her heart, but she couldn't show it. After returning home, she never mentioned the experience of her being lost. No one knew what happened to her, nor Know what happened to her.

The hand that comforted Martin had also patted her to lull her to sleep, and the eyes that looked at Martin lovingly now had also given her strength.

She wanted to say thank you to Rhodes personally, but she couldn't.

She had exposed enough flaws in front of Fred, but His Highness did not express anything, whether it was trust or other reasons... Safi no longer dared to guess.

"Grandpa Rhodes doesn't want me?" Martin listened to their conversation. Although he seemed to understand half of it, he vaguely realized that Rhodes seemed to have reached an agreement with Safi, which had something to do with him.

"No," Old Rhodes shook his head, "Grandpa will always be your family."

Martin responded, still looking ignorant, and Safi beckoned to him: "Come here."

Martin moved over step by step, with a reluctant expression on his face: "What are you doing?"

Safi couldn't make a friendly expression. She looked at Martin as seriously as a teacher in class: "I heard from Ms. Anna that you are not paying attention in class."

"I don't want to learn that," Martin muttered. "I just want to learn magic! Those things are useless!"

Fred did promise to teach him magic, but he first hired a teacher for Martin to teach him how to read, and learning magic must be done after learning characters. After all, Elvish language is much more difficult and obscure. Learn magic.

Want to run before you can walk?Of course, it is difficult for children to understand these principles.

Safi recited the mantra softly. This is a singing-like language with cadence and ups and downs, but it sounds like listening to a scripture in the ear, and it is impossible to even imitate the pronunciation.
