Chapter 130: Legend

"She’s a true genius," Duke Sun said. "No wonder she has the purple pupils."

"Huh?" Henry listened to his father’s words and was confused.

What was the relationship of having the purple colored pupil with Aurora being a genius?

Henry couldn’t think of any connections.

Duke Sun looked at his son and sighed. "You’re still young, so you never have the chance to see that era. The era that’s dominated by the two geniuses. Why do you think that the pupil color of the people in the Royal Families in various kingdoms are so iconic?"

"The Sand Kingdom and the others didn’t seem to have such specific trait," Henry defended.

"I’m talking about Sun Kingdom." Duke Sun glanced at his son and snorted. "The golden pupil and the purple pupils... There was a legend who said that the descendants who inherited these two pupils would be geniuses."

Genius?

Henry thought about the current Yellow Kingdom’s King and also the crown prince...

He had the feeling that the word ’stupid’ would be more suitable for both of them rather than genius. Even if the current Yellow Kingdom’s King was not very capable, but at least he was still able to control the power in the court and so on well.

As for Crown Prince Edward?

He was simply the shame of the Royal Family.

But no nobles dared to talk about Crown Prince Edward openly. They all knew very well that if they dared to do that, their head would not stay intact with their neck anymore. There were some people who would not let them blemish the Royal Family.

As for the Red Kingdom?

To be honest, Henry was not very clear. Because from what he knew, the current king of the Red Kingdom and his two children didn’t have purple pupil.

In fact, the previous Red Kingdom’s King didn’t seem to have purple pupil too.

It was the brother of the previous Red Kingdom’s King who had purple pupil but he died heroically in the war that saved the entire Red Kingdom, thus making his name sung as the hero.

But...

No one seemed to say that he was a genius.

Well, with him already hailed as a hero, there was truly no need to give him that label again.

He was already praised to the sky.

"It’s indeed a legend in the Yellow Kingdom," Duke Sun said calmly. "The golden pupil is just the trait of the Royal Family without any clear advantage. Some of them are not very good even if they have golden pupils."

This was something the nobles in the Yellow Kingdom had long agreed tacitly.

That it was nothing more than a legend.

If it was not simply a legend, there was no way the current Yellow Kingdom’s King would perform so ordinarily. There were many other nobles who were far better than him and there was no clear advantage of the king.

Of course, no one dared to speak about it out loud to him.

They still treasured their lives.

But it was inevitable for them to discuss this matter in private when they could. Because they all felt that the king was somewhat disappointing. This also caused some nobles to let loose their real personality.

Many nobles didn’t really care about the kingdom as a whole.

What they cared the most was nothing more than the benefit they could get because of their position and so on.

It was something that Duke Sun also understood.

And he couldn’t do anything to stop them.

Because the current king was already like this and he could only try his best not to make the situation even worse.

"Father, do you want to say that the Red Kingdom is not a legend?" Henry asked in confusion.

But how could that happen?

"It might be a coincidence, but everyone who have purple pupil from the Red Kingdom have terrible talent in various fields," Duke Sun said. "Diplomacy, control, swordsmanship. Even if there were some aspects they were not very good at, their overall level is far higher than what other people could possibly contend."

Before the current Red Kingdom’s King came to the throne, it was his brother who was actually on the first line for the throne.

But the war with the Ice Kingdom was at the peak at that time.

And the Red Kingdom fell into disadvantage.

In order to win the war, the prince had to lead the soldiers on his own and fought on the frontline. He tried his best to defend the Red Kingdom and it was his final tactic that allowed the Red Kingdom to win.

But at the same time, the prince failed to return and died in the battle.

It was also from this time that the Red Kingdom declined.

The war with the Ice Kingdom was not over yet.

Thankfully, that war had already consumed most of the Ice Kingdom’s vitality and buried many capable people. Because if these people were still alive after the death of that prince, the Red Kingdom would have long been nothing more than a name passed down in the history.

"Is it really right?" Henry was stunned.

Duke Sun laughed. "No one knew for sure whether it’s true or not. But Aurora’s appearance with the purple’s pupil had long attracted many people."

In the past, Duke Sun would also think that it was nothing more than a legend.

There couldn’t be someone who was so smart and enchanting that the entire world would feel threatened by their mere presence.

But fact proved that he was wrong.

After meeting Aurora and saw her capabilities, Duke Sun also realized that there were indeed some people who were so terrible ever since they were young.

And...

"Some people wouldn’t be able to accept her existence," Duke Sun said lightly.

Henry was silent.

Duke Sun saw his son’s serious expression and laughed lightly. "You can treat this as nothing more than a story. But not everyone could do the same and they didn’t want a second person who could affect the entire world to appear."
