-----------
After the battle for the red flower, the entire continent was quiet for a while, but what comes around eventually comes around. This time, Sebastian's gaze was turned to the Imperium. The Imperium's technological development over the years was very slow compared to the evolution of life on Greater Terra.
Sebastian was not interested in the development of medicine and it had also embarked on a wrong path. A large amount of money was invested in intangible longevity medicine or life-sustaining medicine. Even if this thing existed, it was something that could not be developed in this era. It was like a primitive man trying to build a warship.
Besides wasting effort and time, there was no use at all. For the entire Imperium, the consequences were even more serious. Funding for other fields had been significantly reduced because the whole country was in a drug-making frenzy.
Bruno was already bedridden and unconscious. At this stage, it was amazing that he lasted a full three years. It was not that Bruno's life force was tenacious enough; instead, Bruno still had an unfulfilled wish.
After the competition was over, he never saw Sebastian again, so his wish was to see Sebastian. At a young age, Bruno had also been taught by Sebastian for a long time. In his heart, except for the reverence of his Father, there was also a deep affection.
These years, he had been on his own for a while. He called on the name of Father but Sebastian never showed up. The reason for this was that Sebastian no longer intended to easily interfere with the development of this world unless there was a significant change, something like nurturing talent.
At Bruno's place, the foundations and paving of the way for each discipline had been completed. Next, they could work step by step and there was no need to bother.
Looking at Bruno's white hair and cloudy eyes, Sebastian still couldn't bear it.
"Forget it, you are also considered my student; let's see you one last time." Sebastian appeared with a slight vibration of the air.
Bruno's eyes, who had been staring at the air, suddenly widened. He sat up straight from the bed in disbelief.
"Father?" Bruno's tone trembled slightly, with a look of excitement on his face.
"There's no need for that." Sebastian sighed gently.
Bruno suddenly burst into tears. First, he said in a small child's voice: "Father, I am regretful."
Sebastian didn't say anything, he was quietly waiting for Bruno to flow out.
"I am not a good ruler." With tears streaming down his face, he said: "Father left me the foundation, but I… failed to carry it forward and even caused the whole country to fall into terror. I am sorry for all this and even more apologetic to you."
Even after three years in a hospital bed, Bruno still had a general idea of what was going on outside, but his orders had gradually been ignored. Those who were out there, in the name of making medicine, used this banner to achieve their various interests.
"You did a great job," Sebastian said.
Even if Bruno was old, he did not make many mistakes. He had been secretly suppressing the expansion of medicine and was promoting a balanced development of each domain. However, Bruno was not Kai, there were no such tricks, nor did he have the reputation. He could only do his best to keep the Empire moving forward smoothly.
Hearing these words Sebastian, a glimmer of light was revealed in Bruno's cloudy eyes.
After a few moments, Bruno smiled and said, "I have no more regrets, and when I get to meet my father, I can say to him that I did my best. But I can't let go of this country yet, Father, please choose a successor."
Bruno bowed down.
"Choose for yourself, and trust your sight," Sebastian said indifferently and left.
After a long time, no response was heard from Sebastian. Bruno looked out the window into the sky, there was a trace of disappointment on his face.
He also seemed to understand something, and muttered to himself, "Father, I understand."
Immediately, Bruno called the guards. He took a bath, summoned a group of ministers and princes once again, and publicly announced the next inheritor to the throne.
Sebastian did not intervene but watched this with interest. Bruno had lived for decades and there were many concubines in the harem, so the number of children was also very high. In addition, as a result of growing up in the military, each one of them was developed very well.
In this generation, nine candidates were perfect for being the emperor, no matter which way you look at it, for the position of the emperor would only be one after all.
Bruno's eyes slowly swept across the nine princes, however, there was no ripple in his heart. He knew very well that he raised some excellent sons. During his bed rest, they had done a lot of "good things" that were hidden from him.
The reason why the entire Imperium had become such a mess now was all because of his throne. To compete for the status of the heir, the nine candidates were completely unscrupulous.
Bruno's voice was not loud, and he said slowly, "After my death, the next successor to the emperor's throne will be..."
Everyone in the palace knelt on the ground and unanimously raised their ears. They didn't dare to miss a single word.
"Grant." As his word fell, it stirred up a thousand waves!
