it's impossible to be a good man and be a conqueror

a few months had passed since the conquest of the city of Tolos, and soon he reached the year 283.

Baibars was handsomely rewarded with the title of nobleman, the families of the dead soldiers received pensions, a new draft was made to complete the Baibars army.

After months of preparation the first naval exploration operation to the ruins of Valiria is ready to depart.

Pedro Álvares Cabral received from Zarudo 5 ships and 200 sailors, the objective of this first exploration is just to open a path and try to map the way, Pedro Álvares Cabral can stay in the city of Tolos and come and go to the ruins in any way he prefers, his only one mission is to find something valuable in 4 years....

Amaro Pargo received only one big ship and 30 strong sailors, Zarudo didn't give much support to prevent them from discovering that Amaro belongs to Yunkai, Amaro's objective is to increase his forces and then start looting against the merchant ships that go to Astapor...

"My king, you are 19 years old, it's time to choose a queen" Baldwin speaks at the board meeting...

"I'm still young Baldwin, why talk about it" Zarudo replies...

"My king, let me tell you a story, a man built a mighty castle and so he thought he was invincible, his castle was big and beautiful looking, yet his castle was made of wood and all the your castle collapsed in the first storm, only a stable castle can withstand big storms "Baldwin speaks in a wise voice.....

"stability? I understand, an heir is a pillar of a great kingdom, only guaranteeing the future of the royal family is it possible to fight to the full in the present, very well I will choose a Baldwin queen" Zarudo accepted the advice, after all the best talent of a king must always be accepting advice from the wise.

Actually Zarudo thinks about a Queen for some time, however he only has contact with 3 women, he has sex regularly with Mochizuki Chiyome however due to her work she is not good to be a queen after all she must stay in the shadows and not in the light

Boudicca was a queen in the past, however her feelings for Zarudo are not strong yet, it is impossible for her to accept being his queen.

"Lin xian, I will ask Lin xian to marry me" Zarudo speaks in a firm voice

Lin Xian a noble girl, she has the intelligence to rule and has a gentle heart, everything a queen needs.....

-------------------------------

In a garden, a muscular red-haired man was kneeling awkwardly in front of a beautiful woman.

"Lin Xian please be my Queen" Zarudo says holding a beautiful gold ring...

"Boss, did you drink too much?" Lin xian speaks with a red face.

"I'm not drunk, I realized, we've been together for 3 years Lin Xian, in these years you've been by my side, you've helped me in everything, my dream is to be a great conqueror, but what good is it for me to conquer land if I can't even understand my heart, I want you Lin Xian, I want you to be by my side, whether in glory or disaster I Zarudo mo Tonesiazz hope to have my beautiful secretary close to me, but this time you will be my wife "Zarudo speaks...

"I do, I love you Zarudo, but I'm just a weak noble, my family is dead, I'm not talented in fighting and I can't rule wisely, I'm not fit to be queen, everyone will laugh at you Zarudo for have a weak queen " Lin Xian cries

"Don't worry my Lin Xian, learn to be a queen just as I will learn to be a king, let's prove to everyone who doubts us, I swear Lin Xian, one day all continents will know about Lin Xian, the great queen , let us together prove our worth "Zarudo talks and then kisses Lin Xian....

"You know, Lin xian, I once thought I wasn't capable, I can't lead armies or even govern as well as my advisors, that's why I try so hard, every drop of sweat I shed is to prove my worth, one day I will be a great king, but on this day maybe my heart is already full of cruelty and my hands dirty with blood, so on this day I will need a queen who can remember my good side, remember when I was just a dreamy boy "Zarudo whispers to Lin Xian...

"Forgive me, I'll be your queen, I'll help you carry the weight, I won't let you handle the weight of achievement alone, if you're going to get bloody let's do it together" Lin xian.

"It's impossible to be a good man and a conqueror, conquerors seek glory, wealth and lands but for all this you need to be bathed in blood, war after war, this is the future I want, maybe in the future I can create one great peaceful empire, maybe my children can become good men, but for that I must become a cruel man, one day I will unify all the lands, I will fulfill my destiny" Zarudo speaks to himself....
