A healthy life
Putting everything else aside, just because of this Message, Kronos felt much more comfortable looking at Edessak in front of him.
Kronos was determined not to get involved in this Royal Family power struggle.
First of all, the person in front of me wasn't a good partner. He wasn't the boss but wanted to compete for that position, so he had to pay a lot. In the end, he gave up for a Demoness.
He was pleased with himself, but what about those who had originally supported him?
Kronos wouldn't believe it if Gawinton II didn't deal with those people after he came to power.
Besides, such disputes are meaningless in the first place.
George III is now obsessed with becoming a god; if he succeeds, he'll have endless lifespans. What use is an heir then?
Since they haven't considered this matter, they naturally won't designate an heir.
Therefore, after the Ritual failed, it was natural that the Crown Prince Gawinton, would inherit the throne directly, and no one else would have a chance.
But if Kronos were to choose, he certainly wouldn't choose Gawinton either.
If it's for the sake of power, then this kind of "Merit of Supporting the Dragon" is meaningless.
It's better to cultivate good relationships with the Negan, Levett Family, and Hall Family. When it comes down to it, if all these families work together, they can wrest a lot of influence from Gawinton.
However, there's a prerequisite: one must at least not be afraid of William I.
As a trendsetter with a cheat code, reaching Sequence Two would probably be enough.
So let's talk about it later. Unless they have that kind of power, the Argel Family should just stay out of it and not interfere in matters of power.
However, because of Amyrius's Message, Kronos was still willing to talk to him for a while, just to fulfill one of his wishes.
However, Kronos truly hadn't expected that this Third Prince!
Edessak started by discussing the government system and then moved on to the attitude of the Royal Family, but in the end, he came to the same conclusion.
"His Majesty the King doesn't trust the nobles much, but relies more on the commoners who have no power base. Sometimes, even when using the power of the Church, he is unwilling to let the nobles interfere too much."
"But if you help me become king, I will definitely raise the status of the nobles, and you will all be my right-hand men in everything, big or small."
Kronos didn't know if these words would be appealing enough to the ears of his contemporaries, but to Kronos they were nothing but empty talk.
Even compared to those pyramid schemes and fraudulent groups, even a modern internet user's promises are probably more believable.
It is said that status determines perspective; the higher you stand, the more you can see from a different angle than others.
But Kronos has to say, Prince Edessak's perspective is really narrow.
But a prince is a prince after all. If he goes too far, Kronos can simply ignore him. But since his ability to make empty promises is a bit lacking, Kronos is too embarrassed to directly turn against him.
There was nothing Kronos could do but endure it, listening quietly and occasionally even having to cooperate.
Whether this prince was doing it on purpose or was genuinely a chatterbox, he spent nearly three hours just drawing up this one pie in the sky, until Kronos's expression finally froze.
If it weren't for other things to do next, Kronos felt he could have continued talking.
The servant who came to deliver the message saved Kronos; after he whispered a few words in Edessak's ear, the Third Prince took his leave.
Kronos lay back in his chair, secretly vowing that he would never get involved in such messy affairs again. It was too exhausting; his father was much better suited to this kind of life.
Kronos waited a moment, and seeing that Mr. Kask had not returned, he got up and left.
To maintain his persona, Kronos deliberately avoided going to Saint Hilleran Cathedral to "tip off" him, because he was still "angry."
So Kronos went straight back to his home in the Saint George District.
His original plan was to continue practicing his Skill Scroll proficiency, but when Kronos sat down at his desk and faced the pile of Scroll Materials and Inscribing Pen, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of fatigue.
This was a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced before. Kronos had always been particularly proactive in improving his own strength, but he never expected things to turn out like this today.
Now, just thinking about the Symbol on that Skill Scroll makes him feel nauseous. Is this what they call drawing until you feel like throwing up?
Since things are already like this, Kronos won't insist on anything and will just take a good rest for a day.
As Sequence 6 Beyonder, I don't usually feel tired or sleepy.
But the nap he took before the meeting today made him realize that his current condition was indeed not very good; it was just that his body could handle it.
Perhaps this is true for most Beyonder. Once they reach the Mid-Sequence, daily fatigue is no longer a problem, and they can go ten days or half a month without rest without much trouble.
However, the Sequence 5 Scroll production standards that Kronos had previously summarized made him Consciousness that while a surge of Spirituality energy could make one feel refreshed, it was different from physical strength.
Even with abundant Spirituality, Kronos could not create Sequence 5 Scroll when his physical strength was not at its peak.
Then we can make some guesses about things, such as whether physical strength still affects the condition of Beyonder.
There must be a difference between having plenty of energy during a battle and staying up all night every day.
Thinking about this, Kronos felt he should set a healthy sleep schedule, even if it was just to make the creation of the Sequence 5 Scroll go more smoothly!
Having made up his mind, Kronos glanced at the clock on the wall.
Great, it's almost 10 o'clock. I'll set my rest time at 10 o'clock from now on, and I'll keep doing this unless there's an emergency.
After washing up, Kronos lay in bed. He didn't feel particularly tired at first, and was even worried that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
As a result, Kronos fell asleep in less than Three Minutes.
In the days before electronic devices, it was indeed very easy to sleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Kronos sprang out of bed.
This timing is actually quite good, and healthy enough.
Now that we're healthy, let's stay healthy to the end.
After washing up and changing into more casual clothes, Kronos prepared to go for his morning run.
Wanting plenty of energy doesn't mean you have to lie in bed and not move after resting. Moderate exercise can help mobilize the functions of all parts of the body and even help the body recover.
After Kronos left the room, he saw the Servants on night watch dozing off, so he went up and touched the Servants.
At first, the Servants was in a dazed state, but when he realized it was Kronos, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Sir, is there anything you need?"
Kronos said, "I'm going out for a morning run. Go tell the cook I'll be back in about an hour and have him prepare everything."
After saying that, Kronos left his Villa.
Argel Family's house was naturally not in a bad location; the area where the Villa was located was the most beautiful in the entire Saint George District, with a sizable Artificial Lake nearby.
Morning runs should naturally be done in places close to nature; otherwise, are you really going to run on the main road?
So Kronos began his first morning run around the lake.
While the Hermit Pathway isn't a Pathway of physical enhancement, it still has a positive effect on physical fitness.
Kronos went for his morning run like it was a competition, running for a full hour, and in the end, his forehead was only slightly damp, not even a bit sweaty.
However, Kronos could clearly feel his body getting warm, and that was Kronos's purpose.
Are you really planning to improve your physical fitness through morning runs, and then go back and challenge the God of Combat Pathway head-on?
When I got home, all the Servants in the Villa were already in operation.
In other noble households, these Servants would all have to get up around six in the morning to prepare everything for their attendants.
But Kronos himself was an anomaly.
He doesn't like being waited on; he prefers to do many things himself, such as more private things like bathing and changing clothes.
Moreover, he never got up early, so he told the Servants that they didn't need to get up so early, and that one or two people on night duty would be enough.
But today was different. After Kronos left, the Servants on night watch woke everyone up, and then the early morning cleaning and preparations naturally began.
After Kronos took a bath, a sumptuous breakfast was served to Kronos.
Kronos picked up the newspaper on the table and began eating his breakfast.
He read the newspaper mainly to see Message about the gathering, but he also glanced at the news.
There's nothing new in today's newspapers; it's all stuff that Kronos isn't interested in.
Before yesterday, Kronos might have been paying attention to some political and economic news.
However, the Royal Family's deceptive behavior yesterday, along with Edessak's empty promise, completely dispelled Kronos's idea of paying any attention.
These complicated things aren't for me; it's simpler to just focus on improving myself.
Because of his lack of experience compared to people of his time, Kronos might have had some sudden, ingenious ideas, but this incident truly proved that he lacked the ability to control the course of events.
Although the Argel Family's successors all entered the business world around this age, they all started from small beginnings, gradually cultivating their abilities before taking over Project.
