505 Chapter 126 As King, As Father

Time to roll back a little.

Tiona, who remained alone in the king's room, stared at Abram with a slightly nervous look.

"Um, Your Majesty...."

"I'm sorry you bothered to stay. I wanted to thank you again."

Abram lowered his head quietly and said.

"Thank you for stopping me earlier. Not only me, but Eschar's life was saved. Thank you."

"No, no... I happen to be by my side."

Tiona waves her hand.

"Really... However, the principle of fairness is the sincerity of the award. I wish I could thank you for something....."

"No, thank you so much....."

"Whatever. Unless it's something... yes. Anything you want to know..."

Tiona's shoulders bounced at the words.

And when he saw it, Abram smiled calmly.

"Earlier, in the middle of the conversation, I noticed that you were making a noisy face. [M] I was wondering if you had any questions for me... was that correct?

…………

"There's no one here. Even if Miss Tiona said something else, it doesn't matter if I don't admit it. Don't hesitate to ask anything you care about."

Whatever the daughter of the Empire's uncle, if Abraham denies it, it's done. Abrams is absolutely advantageous in the doctrine of not telling.

Abraham said that if you think about it, you can ask something that is a little inconvenient and you will answer honestly.

Then... Thiona stares at Abram again.

"Well then... sweeten your words... Your Majesty Abram, were you aware that Lord Eshar had put something in his drink at that time?

At that time, at that moment... Tiona did.

Abraham's face sent a sharp gaze at Eschar for some reason.

In response to the question, Abram smiled bitterly.

"Ah, you still noticed... Yes, I did realize that she had put something in Theon's drink. Well, I didn't think it was a lethal poison... I thought it was a little prank. I was going to scold you for not doing such a thing...."

"I knew it... So, was it on purpose that you almost fell out of there?

"If you fall and die, you won't know if it's poison or an accident. Well, sooner or later, they would have noticed the sinister poison that's easy to distinguish on your face...."

Abram was trying to cover for his son.

That's why Tiona feels so happy...

"Did His Majesty really intend to execute His Highness Eshar?

That was questionable.

Abraham, who tried to lay low the judgment of my son, and Abraham, who tried to defend himself by abandoning himself at that time, did not agree.

Though negligence, he that poisons the king shall give death. It is right to be tried for the great sins that cause chaos in the country and for the death penalty. That's obvious... Isn't that right?

It can't be denied. Normally speaking, it is difficult to overturn that decision.

"If you arbitrarily distort the judgment, the righteousness of the king shakes. And the righteousness of the king shakes, and the people suffer."

In a strict tone, after saying so,

"But that's if they're king."

"If I were a king...? No way."

Tiona realizes Abraham's true intentions with her words.

"You were going to leave? When I give up my throne to Prince Theon....."

"To be more precise, I was going to say that I was retired. You gave up your throne to Theon before that ball. That way, Eshar's sins will be somewhat lighter. In addition, we will avoid the death penalty with the amnesty of the new king."

"But the ceremony of the coronation... if it is not done, I cannot surrender my throne to His Highness Theon..."

A coronation ritual that informs the aristocracy of the country and the surrounding countries of the birth of a new king. Normally, at that time, the throne would move to the next new king.

So you can't give up the throne behind closed doors?

In response to Tiona's question, Abram shook his head.

"Linking history, the ceremony of the coronation was not so long ago. The only ritual necessary to receive the throne is the“ oiling ritual ”by the priest of the Central Orthodox Church."

All continental countries place the legitimacy of royalty in the divine scriptures of the Central Orthodox Church.

The king is a man to whom God has entrusted the reign of the land. Therefore, the only thing that should be done by the heirs of kingdom is to receive their authority from God. And he bathed his head with perfume, which is the symbol of God's blessing, and filled his body with the authority of God.

As rituals are not so large, there have been few instances in the history of the past where they have been performed in secret.

"And fortunately, there were more than qualified priests there."

"Raffina-sama...."

The Virgin of the Central Orthodox Church was there.

Then we might be able to save Eshar if we could match up with Theon, who had already succeeded to the throne before the ball.

"I was about to leave the throne to save His Highness the Eshar....."

"Either way, I had to pass through to save Eshar from death without shaking the king's justice. You will have to leave the throne to take responsibility."

After quietly saying so, Abram gently closed his eyes.

"And... you will also be responsible for chasing Eshar down. As a father....."

"Your Majesty...."

"Being right as a king and loving my son as a father... don't always go hand in hand. I was about to pick Eshar. That, even if rightly done as a father, undermines the righteousness of the king. Don't you think that's a good reason to decide to leave?

Then Abram laughed.

"But the wisdom of the Empire slightly surpassed my thinking. Had it not been for this disturbance, I would not have noticed Eschar's heart. She could have done the same thing and committed a terrible crime of killing her brother... She led us to the best possible conclusion."

Tiona nodded in a pungent tone.

"Yes, that's who Meer is."

I was somehow proud that my dear friend was recognized by King Abram.

"I'm sorry I kept it. I was hoping to answer your question, but I was completely stupid."

"No.... Thank you for your concern."

Abram lowers his head again with a soft smile.

"Besides, I am grateful not only to Princess Meer, but also to you. I'm glad you told me it was wrong not to cover for my family. Thank you again."

So Tiona left the room.

Tiona couldn't help but think as she walked down the hallway fast.

Loneliness of the king.

The more rightly King Abram was forced to move away from his human emotions. As such, it appeared in her eyes.

And all of them, Theon...

Tiona arrived at the venue when the battle between Theon and Abel was at its best.
