Chapter 4 The territory of Anka City, the Chosen Son of God,
is not very large, but because it is located on the edge of the empire, a lot of troops have always been stationed there.
The Lizardman Kingdom adjacent to the east often launches small-scale invasions of Ankh, and as long as there is a war, there will be casualties. Even if the Xilin Empire is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated casually, it is impossible to make every place impregnable.
In the original work, Sirius was sent here not only to make this arrogant supporting villain feel despair in many aspects, but also to introduce the first main plot.
However, Sirius now slowly feels that he may not be able to fully control all developments in this world.
After all, the original work didn't have much plot in total, and the character he has traveled through time is still the ultimate cannon fodder.
Knowing that he would die if he did not change the plot, he could only give up control of the future and forcibly change the fate of his supporting character.
Of course, there is another thing to be thankful for, that is, the button he clicked when he traveled through time seems to have come with him.
Although he still can't figure out when this button will appear, and he doesn't know what deceptive side effects the button will refresh next time, at least the final choice is in his hands.
If the side effects are unacceptable, he can choose to skip them instead of being forced to accept those weird negative effects.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, it's already very late today. Let's go to the nearest inn to rest for the night before setting off."
The groom explained to Sirius in a very respectful tone.
Seeing Sirius nod his head and look very talkative, he was full of admiration for this royal person who dared to rush to the front line of the war.
Especially knowing that these nobles are born to awaken powerful abilities. The more noble their bloodline, the more likely they are to perfect their awakened abilities. So at this moment, Sirius was an extremely perfect person in his heart.
Such a person went on an expedition without even a single guard or knight, which was enough to show how terrifying his strength was.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Sirius had no abilities at all, and the reason why he didn't bring any guards was not out of confidence in his own strength, but because of the eldest prince's deliberate intention.
Although it is not very refreshing to have your enemy die early, as the protagonist, Engli does not care so much.
After all, from the perspective of the protagonist, even if he actively and brutally kills the villain, it will be regarded as a decisive killing.
"In the future, when there are outsiders, don't call me Second Prince, just call me by my name."
Hearing Sirius say this, the groom's face was obviously a little flustered, "But you are the Second Prince, how can I directly Where do you call me by your name?"
"You don't need to be so formal."
Sirius waved his hand and said something that was obviously true but was extremely touching to the groom's ears. "Since I only followed you out, it shows that I am the only one who came out with you. Your current identity is just that of an ordinary civilian. Have you ever seen the second prince without any guards around him?" "
This..."
"We went to Anka City this time not to take advantage of the royal family's rights, but to walk into the city. Among the people, they fight together with them.
Therefore, since I left the imperial city, my identity is no longer the second prince of the empire, and I have no relationship with the royal family. As an ordinary civilian, you can call me Sirius. , why not?"
"Second Prince..."
The groom looked at Sirius's firm gaze, his eyes only moved.
Although he is not a noble, but just an insignificant servant in the palace, it is rare for someone like him to even meet these noble princes and princesses, let alone have a one-on-one conversation like now.
Such an opportunity itself flattered him, and Sirius's words at this moment made his eyes even redder.
The unbridgeable gap between nobles and commoners was still indelible in his heart, but at this moment he suddenly understood that there was another kind of noble in the world, and the reason why he was respected was not the noble himself, but other than the noble. "If that's the case, then I have no choice but to obey."
"That's right."
——————————
The eldest prince Engri recently felt that his luck was extremely bad for some reason.
After finally driving his brother away, he happened to take advantage of this juncture to guarantee to everyone in the royal family that he would take on all aspects of the empire in the future, saying that the future of the empire would usher in a more glorious tomorrow as long as it was under his leadership.
However, that afternoon, he was beaten to death in public and his whole face was completely embarrassed.
The most important thing is that since Sirius left the Imperial City, the weather in the Imperial City has become very strange. First the temperature suddenly rose, and then there was a heavy rainstorm when everyone was shirtless.
It rained continuously for two days and two nights, and the entire imperial city was flooded by rainwater. Even now, the heavy rain has not stopped.
God seemed to be against him all day long, and these bad things happened one after another.
Moreover, according to normal procedures, after Sirius, the only one who might affect his succession to the throne, had been sent away, the Queen would inevitably officially declare that he was the heir to the empire before her physical condition worsened.
But it happened that when he sent Sirius off a few days ago, he made a fool of himself in public. On the one hand, many people saw his unstable mood, and on the other hand, it also made many people question his ability.
After all, you are the eldest prince of the empire and the most talented awakening ability user, but you can't even avoid the impact of a white horse. Who would believe it?
Yes, he doesn’t believe it himself. But the problem happened like this.
Because of these reasons, the Queen's recognition of him has dropped a lot, but her sister's approval rate has increased a lot.
"Your Highness, I have compiled the public opinion statistics for you..."
"What's the result? Does my sister have the highest support rate?"
"Um... no."
After hearing this, Engli Everyone stood up excitedly.
Although it is said that the choice of the heir to the empire is not decided by civilians, the problem is that his mother, the Queen, values these very much.
The people's choices will affect her decision to a certain extent, and the image of a kind prince that he has worked hard for so many years has finally played a decisive role.
It's just that the subordinate in front of him had a strange expression, and his next words ruined Engli's entire good mood.
"The person with the highest support rate...is the second prince Sirius."
"W-what?!"
Engli looked at the servant in front of him with his head lowered and did not dare to speak in disbelief, and then stared at him and asked. : "How could it be him? No...how on earth could those stupid people think that he is the most suitable successor!"
"Your Majesty, that's it...because Sirius voluntarily gave up his aristocratic life and went to the front line, which made him very popular among the common people. His prestige suddenly became very high.
In addition, since he left, the imperial city has begun to suffer natural disasters, so everyone thinks... Sirius is the chosen son of God."
"What? What the hell are you talking about?!!!"
