Chapter 148 I Can't Kill My Own Offspring
Emperor Doyle, holding a golden chain, reached out his hand towards the still beating heart with hesitation and solemnity.

This process is neither short nor long.

The beating of the heart gradually weakened, but the hand reaching out to it moved faster and steadier.

Eventually, King Baratheon Doyle took up one-third of the throne from the crystallized corpse of King Loiman I.

The golden chains began to spread along his arms towards the heart.

Then, like a constantly wriggling vein, it tried to make up for everything that Emperor Doyle lacked.

But after a moment, the golden chain stopped all activity and slowly faded from his arm like the Tathagata, until it fell completely into the palm of Emperor Doyle's hand.

Then, Emperor Doyle placed the heart back into Emperor Loiman's crystallized corpse.

The shocking gap in Emperor Leumann's chest began to shrink and disappear as his heart was returned.

The crystallization around him also dissipated.

But he was already dead, so even if the wound healed his heart would not beat again.

After doing all this, the emperor shook his head after a moment of silence and said:

"I don't have to risk my life."

"There is no need to kill your last offspring."

"I'm different from you. I can't do anything to my own child."

Obviously, letting go of the desire to become a god is the most appropriate choice.

"I've already lost once, and I was able to save my life thanks to my outstanding offspring. So, my old friend, rest in peace."

Emperor Doyle helped him close his eyes while sighing.

Then, the five dukes killed by Emperor Leumann all appeared.

Without any words, they each stepped forward and lifted up the body of Emperor Neumann.

"Let's go and see my surprising offspring."

The emperor led the way, and the seven gentlemen carried the coffin.

The highest-level state funeral in Baratheon's history took place quietly in the City of Shadows.

At the gate of the only palace that does not belong to the ideal country.

Emperor Doyle stopped and looked quietly at the palace gate which was only slightly familiar to him.

After a moment, the tightly closed door slowly opened, revealing Ansha Baratheon behind the door.

Seeing this proud offspring, the old and withered Emperor Doyle opened his hands and smiled:

"Come here, child, and let me take a good look at you."

His eyes were full of love, this was his only child.

But the Queen did not come forward, although she opened the tightly closed palace for Emperor Doyle.

She just stood there and bowed slightly to show her respect to her ancestors.

This made Emperor Doyle look a little disappointed.

Yeah, how could she trust herself?

Emperor Doyle smiled helplessly and pointed at the five old friends behind him and said:
"Are you doubting that I am still Leumann I?"

"That's normal. After all, why did I come out?"

"I thought about telling you before that it was because my five old friends finally discovered the truth and rescued me. They also let me kill him by joining forces with the enemy when he was distracted by Trajan."

At this point, the old man laughed at himself and said:
"But I can't. I can't lie to my little Vivian. Ah, I'm sorry for calling you that, but you really are so much like her."

Emperor Doyle had thirteen pure-blooded children in his lifetime, but only one of them was a girl.

That is Princess Vivian Baratheon.

That was Emperor Doyle's favorite child.

It is indeed quite similar to the current queen. But it seems that this is also normal. Princess Vivian is the fourth monarch of Baratheon, and Queen Ansha is also a direct descendant of Queen Vivian.

"He committed suicide, Vivi, no, Ansha."

For the first time, the Queen showed surprise.

Emperor Doyle said sincerely:
"He was very aware of his defeat, but he was unwilling to accept it. After all, his advantage was really huge, but he lost in such a strange way."

"He didn't even have a proper fight with Trajan."

The troops sent out to block the enemy's advance all turned against them at the last minute, and even the most trusted Grand Duke of the Lion Family discovered the trick and stabbed him in the back.

But even so, his advantage is still huge.

He still has the Loiman Empire, Iron Fist Harrow, and the Level Zero Seal given to the other party.

It didn't matter even if these were useless, as long as Prince Adela gave him the missing extraordinary characteristics.

He can turn everything around.

But the result was that Haro escaped, the Loiman Empire disintegrated directly, and Prince Adela was "ambushed".

Just like that, he lost without any dispute despite having a huge advantage.

"He was very unwilling to accept this result, but there was nothing he could do."

"At this point, his best option would have been to run away with 0-11 and wait for a chance to come back."

"He can even use 0-11 and his status to cause a big commotion in the Imperial Capital before he leaves."

"But he didn't do that. He chose to come to me. He understands me and knows everything about me."

"So he chose to sacrifice himself, and then gave me the key to the throne."

Emperor Doyle raised the final ideal country of 0-11.

"He wanted a prisoner who had been detained and tortured for a thousand years to take over his long-cherished wish. Trajan was only respected as the emperor by the people, but he himself did not actually declare it as such, so this is the pillar of Baratheon defending this great country again."

"And then I am still the master of this country, I have uniqueness, and I 'killed' him."

“Everything is ready.”

Having said this, the emperor looked at the queen with pity.

"I was moved, really, but fortunately, it didn't last long."

"I am both ashamed and proud of it."

"How can I kill my own offspring for the so-called eternal power? Especially since you look so much like her?"

"Kid, you see clearly, I haven't completed my extraordinary characteristics, so it's useless even if I kill you. Besides, no one knows whether word games will work."

The emperor told Ansha everything he knew, but Ansha still stood there.

This made the old man very disappointed.

Because this girl looks so much like his daughter.

She is her direct descendant and looks even more like her own Vivian.

Emperor Doyle really loved her from the bottom of his heart.

"Child, I know that for an emperor, it is necessary to always doubt everyone, and that's fine. But we are also human beings!"

“Don’t kill your heart for the sake of power. You are still so young, you should experience this incredibly beautiful world.”

"So, come on, take this."

In Ansha's astonished eyes, the emperor handed her the golden chain.

Looking at the ideal country flying into my hands.

The emperor lovingly opened his hands towards Ansha again and said:
"Let me hold you, kid."
