In Ark Simulator, why do I always start out as a ruthless person?.

"Then I am willing to go to Leitania with your Majesty."

"But, Your Majesty, please grant me a small request."

"Tell me." Chen Qi agreed very readily.

"…It's about my playmate, Lappland."

Thinking of this playmate with whom he had a good relationship but who was deeply influenced by her family, Texas also wanted to pull her together to change his destiny.

"She and I have a good relationship, but in a family, capable children will also be used as family members, and she is one of them."

"I don't want her to continue to be poisoned by the family's ideas, so I hope that she can accept His Majesty's teachings with me."

"I wonder if your Majesty is willing?"

Okay, it’s a deal, double happiness.

Chen Qi, who had never expected to meet someone offering a "buy one get one free" deal, agreed to the frightened Texas without hesitation:

"I grant your permission."

"However, this matter needs to be discussed with the head of Saluzzo's family to see if her parents are willing."

"Of course, I will also find a chance to send a letter to your family in Texas and seek your family's consent."

"…When did you become interested in little girls?"

It was not until Texas, who couldn't wait to go to the Saluzzo family to look for Lappland, left that the mace beside him asked Chen Qi jokingly:

"Are you addicted to being a father? One Viviana isn't enough, you need two adopted daughters of Syracuse?"

"I can't help it. I don't want Viviana to be too lonely."

Chen Qi, who was in a good mood, also deliberately followed the meaning of Jian and said:

"I plan to let Fremont teach them some knowledge and Originium skills. As for martial arts... I'll trouble you with this task, Mace."

"They are the future pillars of Leitania. You must train them well."

"…Why do I feel like I'm only 20 and I'm already a mother?"

Jian shook her head in amusement, but she still took the task seriously.

After all, this is one of the few things she can do best.

[You have finally completed the merger of Syracuse and Leitania. ]

[Although it is indeed difficult to make Syracuse keep up with the development speed of Leitania, you have undoubtedly made a good start. ]

[From now on, you no longer have any worries in Leitania. ]

[It can be said that if you died at this time, you would be the most regrettable and regrettable emperor in the history of Leitania. ]

[The people of Leithania will place your portrait in the same position as the Witch King.]

[In the next few decades or even hundreds of years, you will still be arguing fiercely about who is the greatest emperor of Leithania, you or the Witch King.]

【But you are not dead.】

[Not only that, Leitania's pace of progress is far from stopping. ]

[At this moment, your ambition can no longer be contained. ]

[You are finally no longer satisfied with Leitania's original territory. 】

[Instead, cast your greedy eyes towards the enemies in the distance. ]

[But you know very well that Leitania is now in a state of disrepair. The reform of industry and military has just begun. ]

[Leitania still needs time and opportunity. ]

[You also need to wait for the international situation to change and for your opponents to reveal their fatal weaknesses.]

[By then, your reform will be put to the final test! ]

Chapter 50 Three Years of Dramatic Change

[In 1088, with your personal intervention, the twelve families of Syracuse were wiped out.]

[Instead, there are a series of legal institutions such as the Syracuse City Council, the Police Department, and the Market Economy and Trade Supervision Office. ]

[For the people of Syracuse, they only felt that their city had undergone tremendous changes in just one week.]

[The number of family members dressed in suits and leather shoes that usually fill the streets has obviously decreased a lot. ]

[Even if you can still see people in suits occasionally, most of them are big shots rushing to the city council.]

[No family members came to ask for protection money anymore.]

[Instead, a large number of legislators began distributing welfare benefits to the people on the streets in order to get votes for themselves.]

[Gradually, there were more factories in the mobile city, more police to maintain order, and even a lot of wasteland was reclaimed and planted with cocoa beans.]

[Every factory is hiring, even women.]

[A large number of women who originally lived in Syracuse and could only take care of their husbands and children began to work in textile factories and increase their family income.]

[Everyone seems to be very busy, but under the busyness, there is no need to worry anymore, and life is getting better and better. ]

【And, the city is becoming more and more prosperous. 】

[If it is said that the Syracusans’ deep-rooted culture made them have no sense of belonging to Leitania. 】

【Now, under the propaganda of Lady Sicily, who has become the supreme ruler of the Syracuse region. 】

[All Syracusans knew that their increasingly prosperous life was brought to them by the newly-subjugated Emperor of Leitania.]

[It was His Majesty the Emperor who built factories for them, reclaimed fields, brought them law and order, and allowed them to no longer live under the shadow of their family.]

[For the people of Syracuse who have been exploited and protected by their family for a long time, and have endured countless times of wrongdoings and even life threats from their family members. ]

【You are their great benefactor. 】

[Although, for some Syracuse people who have adapted to the exploitation of the family and believe that the family will protect them, they are not welcoming to outsiders like the Leitanians. ]

[But you believe that as long as you can continue to provide them with such a stable life, all these contradictions can be smoothed out by time. ]

【And speaking of Texas and Lapland. 】

[After you conveyed to their parents your intention to take them to the tower to receive higher education at the level of a prince.]

[As you expected, both parents eagerly agreed.]

[After all, whether considering the family's future or simply considering the children's education. ]

[For them, having an emperor become the "godfather" of their children is a great blessing that they would never have the chance to pick up even if it fell from the sky.]

[In fact, it was precisely because of this relationship that Saluzzo's status in the Syracuse Parliament rose sharply.]

[Not long after, he took the second seat in parliament, and his position was unshakable.]

[Even the Texas family in Colombia, after learning the news, the president of Colombia quietly shelved the proposal to continue to pursue evidence of the Texas family's crimes.]

[Of course, the two families' help to you is far more than this. ]

[The Texas family was one of the first Syracuse families to participate in the development of Colombia after its independence. ]

[Although it is a black area in Colombia, the Texas family still has a very high reputation and owns a huge industry. ]

[Even the reason why Texas, who was just a child, came to Syracuse was because the Texas family wanted to build a source stone trade route between the two countries. 】

You took full advantage of this.

[Colombia was founded not long ago, and a large amount of land is still in the development stage. ]

[Among them, the large amount of Originium accumulated during the development process is an extremely scarce energy source in Leitania! ]

[The land of Leitania has been established for a thousand years. 】

[This also led to the fact that the "Source Stone", which is almost the basis of all energy in the Terra continent, has long been mined in Leithania. ]

[Most of Leitania's Originium needs must be imported. 】

[However, this strategic resource, which is needed by most countries, can only be exported to Leitania in extremely limited quantities. ]

[The long-term importer of Originium in Leitania is usually Ursus, where 80% of the land is also undeveloped. ]

[However, the mining site in Ursus is not only far away from Leitania, but also has extremely poor road conditions. A large amount of Originium is consumed during transportation, which is extremely wasteful.]

[In addition, the international reputation of the Ursus Empire has always been extremely low, and commercial trade is even more like the logic of robbers. ]

[There was even an incident where the source stones purchased from Ursus were hijacked in Ursus, and the goods disappeared. Ursus stated that it would not compensate for any accidents. ]

[But now, with the help of the Texas family, everything is different. ]

[Colombia has a relatively high-tech source stone mining and processing production line, the source stone is of high purity, and has good transportation equipment. ]

[Because Columbia was an independent territory from the Victorian Empire, it was suppressed by Victoria in economics and trade for a long time.]

[Colombia cannot export the long-stocked source stones, and the price is unbelievably low compared to the Ursus Empire! ]

[With the help of the Texas family, you completed a meeting with the President of Colombia and reached an international cooperation on the issue of Originium supply.]

[At this point, a steady stream of high-purity Originium was transported to Leitania by truckloads under the escort of the Texas family! ]

[The energy crisis that Leitania has been facing for a long time has finally been resolved! 】

[This allows you to finally fully unleash your industrial reforms in Leithania, and the efficiency of the war factory has been raised to a higher level. ]

[As for Texas and Laplande, they received exactly the same treatment as your adopted daughter, Viviana.]

[Under your arrangement, the three girls learned knowledge and Originium skills from Fremont, and learned fighting and martial arts from the mace.]

[Gertrude is responsible for following the three girls to learn grassroots experience in the future when they have achieved academic success.]

[Looking at these three girls who, in their original worldview, shouldn't even have any social interaction, their relationship gradually becomes harmonious and intimate as they spend time together day after day.]

[You also feel the long-lost relief. ]

[You look forward to them becoming your right-hand men in the future. ]

[In 1089, under your industrialization reform, the mechanization of the army has been basically realized. ]

[Looking at your high-spirited, well-equipped, and well-trained armed guards, you understand that you already have the strength to challenge the hegemony of this land! ]

[Now you are just missing an opportunity. 】

[In 1090, a piece of news that was neither good nor bad reached your ears. ]

[Under your instructions, the Colombian government finally found Viviana's biological mother, who was sent to Colombia for refuge by the former Elector Shi Tongling, among the vast sea of people.]

[Under your will, the Golden Law Guards brought Viviana's biological mother back to Leitania, allowing the mother and daughter to finally be reunited.]

[And it was at this time that you once again solemnly explained Viviana's life story to the six-year-old.]

[The result is as you expected. Six-year-old Viviana can already understand what you say.]

[But the only thing you didn't expect was that Viviana gradually realized that you were not her biological father. ]

[But when you really told her again in person, she still cried and made a scene.]

[Finally, Viviana locked herself in a small room on the top floor of the tower. Not only you, but even her biological mother couldn't see her.]

[This incident even caused quite a stir. Fremont, Gertrude, and Mace all rushed to the scene as soon as possible because of Viviana's situation.]

[As a new father, you were also helpless in this matter and could only be scolded by Gertrude and Mace. ]

[But fortunately, in the end, with the persuasion of Gertrude, Mace, and her two playmates Texas and Laplande, Viviana's emotions were finally calmed down. ]

[As for your adopted daughter whose eyes are red and swollen from crying, the only thing you can do is hug her. ]

[Tell her that you have never lied to her. It was you who forced her father to death, and it was you who forced her and her daughter to be separated for so long.]

[You tell her that she can hate you and stop loving you, but she only hopes that she can avenge her father after you have done everything.]

[In the end, all this ended with Viviana crying.]

[This is just as you expected. You did not deceive Viviana, so she will never regard you as the murderer of her father.]

[From this day on, Viviana has completely become your daughter.]

[The last possible barrier between father and daughter has been completely eliminated. Now, no one can find someone in your inner circle who might betray you.]
