Chapter 203 - The People's Man

Ch-203

No one asked a single question. 

"Others can ask the questions," Andrus said again. 

At that time one reporter stood up and said, "Sir, Why haven't you explained this?" 

"As I said no one questioned me. If you see the last document after the wills, there is a document. This shows the permission of the central court, I took that nine years ago. In this period, no one asked me why I was chosen. Even my best friend, Augustus Severance didn't question. I never got the chance to explain or I never got a need to explain," Andrus said. 

"Even to Sina, I haven't said. She is hearing now only. Only the retired ministers and my adopted father, Ambrose Gabriel knew about this," Andrus added. 

His words made sense. The old ministers know the truth. And some of the old ministers are in service. If the old ministers don't question, why will the new minister's question? 

It's just that the citizens aren't aware. So, this meant that the father of Augustus Severance itself felt that Augustus is not suitable. 

At that time another reporter stood up. 

"Sir, Why would our Late President include you in his will, instead of his son?" The reporter said. 

Andrus chuckled at him. 

"I will answer this. But you have to answer some of my questions. 

" You all know that I and Augustus are childhood friends, right?" Andrus asked. 

The reporter nodded. After all, it is true. Everyone in the country knows it. 

"You all know I am an orphan, right?" Andrus asked. 

Again the reporter nodded. It is an open secret. 

"If I weren't picked by Sir. Ambrose Gabriel, I don't know how I would have ended up. 

"One day, I was given a book by My father. That book's name is " The People's Man". In that book, the MC is also an orphan. So, to get a company and end his orphanage he looked for a person who could love him with all her heart. Soon, he found a woman who captured his heart. But she died without staying with him till he grew old. 

"The only person whom he loved is dead. One day, he saw her will and according to her wish, he becomes the king of his country. After he became a king, he was loved by everyone. He is never alone. Most importantly he is not an orphan. He has his country as his family. 

" In that book, the MC name is Andrus Ajax Blaz. So, I named myself with that name. At that time, my dad told me, if I become a president only then I will be loved by countless people. 

"He showed me, Sir. Charles Severance as an example. Even now everyone loves him after his departure. I wanted to become that person. 

" When I was a kid, I was introverted. The person who got me out of my shell is Augustus. He took me to his home. I already fixed my goal at that time. Whenever I went there, I used to observe sir. I observed his walk and imitated it. I learned his schedules and then turned my schedules similar to him. I learned his tastes and changed them into mine. I heard he used to listen to the problems beside him and solved them. So, I started learning the people's problems beside me and started solving them. I have to say my life is influenced by Sir Ambrose Gabriel and Sir. Charles Severance. 

"Sir. Charles Severance learned I am imitating him. Once he took me and Augustus to the white palace. He showed the power, elegance, and responsibility a small position held. 

" Sir asked me, 'are you scared, kid?'  Indeed I was scared, I nodded. Sir chuckled and said, 'If you want to be loved. You shouldn't be scared. Only a brave person can sit on it. A coward or an evil person will not have the right to touch it. Learn to stay strong, you will reach your goal,' Those words are my motivation. I started to stay strong. When I was hurt I didn't cry because I don't want to be a coward. 

"When I was hungry, I never asked for food. When I was sad I never shared it with anyone because I wanted to stay strong. I persisted so long and persisting. This made me what I am.

"I was trained by Sir. Charles and Sir. Gabriel personally. Even though Sir. Charles is very busy, whenever he has time he used to accompany us. He always said the big things to us when we were. One day I asked 'Sir, you know we are kids why are still saying big things?' Sir chuckled and said, 'My kid, kids are the future of my nation. I respect them. At this age, you had a big goal, to learn big things when you are small. That makes you a legend in the future,' he said. 

" I always head stories from sir and dad. I grew up knowing the troubles of people and citizens. My life is filled with citizens only from the start. 

"On the way to my goal, the relaxation I got from is Augustus. We are friends for the past twenty-one years. I never heard a complaint from him. Knowing that I admire his father, he always searched for reasons and took me to his house. He made me meet his father. He made me feel comfortable with people. He introduced me to a world where I am living. 

"My life is shaped by four people, one is Sir. Charles, my dad, and Augustus. And the fourth one is my other friend Henrieth Hazegroove. We three are roommates during university time. 

" I don't know why Sir. Charles included me in the will instead of Augustus but I am grateful that he believed me and trusted me. And his trust made me a President for the third time. I only wished for one thing, that is if that bomb blast hasn't occurred Sir would have been with me for a few more years. He would have attended my marriage. He would have seen my success. All my achievements are always dedicated to Sir. Charles and My Dad Ambrose Gabriel,"
