2045 Take control of the world
“In a lonely place where light cannot reach, we welcome the destruction of the world calmly with our hands intertwined. When the sky collapses and the earth falls, we will always be by each other's side, celebrating that we have almost reached the end. Unfortunately, they will eventually disappear. Everyone wants to rule the world (Everybody-Wants) -To-Rule-The-World）.”
As early as 1985, the British rock band Tears-For-Fears sang loudly, "Everyone wants to rule the world"; thirty years later, human greed and desire have never seemed to disappeared, that kind of madness happened over and over again.
In fact, it’s more than thirty years? The entire long history of mankind seems to be a reincarnation, rebirth in destruction, destruction in rebirth, we are ultimately trapped in the same place, constantly repeating our own destiny: from tragedy to comedy, and then from comedy back to tragedy, there is no way to escape..
“Welcome to the world, there is no turning back. Even if we sleep, we are still armed with masks, rejecting the call of survival instinct, everyone wants to rule the world; this is my desire, this is my confession, drives the determination, drives the pursuit Freedom and happiness, nothing lasts forever, everyone wants to rule the world.”
Because it is too crazy, it becomes absurd, because it is absurd, it becomes sad, then it becomes helpless and confused, and finally it becomes crazy again. Everyone is trapped in their own desires/desires, drawing the ground as a prison, one by one, He restrained himself until he was suffocated, but still stubbornly refused to resist..
“Unable to tolerate indecision, trapped by superficial shortsightedness, everyone wants to rule the world.”
But...how many people can really see through it? How many people can really get rid of it?？
Including Renly.
Sad, ridiculous, deplorable.
In the end, they are just ants trapped in the same place, fighting, fighting, and exiled. They think they dominate the world, think they have conquered the world, but they suddenly wake up at the end of the world. It's just a drop in the ocean among all living things..
What is he fighting against?？
Renly just stared at the rearview mirror quietly, his tears had stopped, and his face was stained and looked very embarrassed, but he didn't care at all, he just stared at the rearview mirror intently, with some tears remaining in his eyes. Desperate sadness, "Philip, am I the only one from now on?"？”
He asked again.
The same question hit Phillip hard again. He tried hard to control his emotions, but his hands began to tremble slightly because he controlled it too hard..
Finally, Philip loosened his grip on the steering wheel, raised his chin slightly, looked at the rearview mirror frankly and directly, and met Renly's gaze. He maintained his consistent demeanor of the past fifty years, calm and unhurried. He replied calmly and calmly, "Master Renly, I am here..”
A simple word that seemed to have no power, but it pressed heavily on Renly's chest. He remained silent for a long time, as if a century had passed, before Renly replied softly, "Okay." It was just one word, but it seemed to consume all the energy in Renly's body. His tight shoulders slowly sank, and he slowly leaned against the back of the chair, and slowly closed his eyes..
It seems that I am tired, but finally feel at ease..
Looking at Renly like this, Philip's eyes couldn't help but become moist. He was struggling on the edge of tears, suppressing and suppressing, and finally barely escaped from the crisis of collapse; however, the sight that fell on Renly's shoulder was The seriousness and restraint of the housekeeper faded away, and quietly became softer and warmer..
Renly seemed to have fallen asleep like this, and the carriage fell into silence again. Philip, however, was not in a hurry, and just stayed at his post quietly, patiently feeling the passage of time, and quietly admiring the scenery scattered on the Mississippi River. The golden sunlight above is flowing in sparkling waves.
At this moment, they just wasted their time for a while, just a little while..
“Philip, leave Hall's house and come to my house." Renly's voice sounded in the carriage again, calm and gentle. If the slight hoarse voice hadn't revealed the truth, the calm tone would have made it impossible to detect what had just happened. What, nothing seems to have changed.
“OK." Philip replied.
Renly knew that Phillip's dream was to remain the butler until the end of his life. Now, he should be the one to protect Phillip..
“You give Matthew a call and help buy a mansion in London. I can't live in Notting Hill temporarily every time I return to London." Renly continued to talk about his arrangements and plans..
“"Okay." Philip replied again, but he glanced at Renly again from the corner of his eyes, and he could detect the subtle difference in Renly's voice..
In the past, Renly always kept a certain distance and kept people away from him, but he was always warm; but now, Renly revealed a hint of indifference in his voice, that kind of cold and biting indifference, sharp. It stung Phillip, and he couldn't help but worry..
Purchasing a mansion also means that Renly has officially sounded the clarion call for counterattack: he will return to London, not as an occasional visit or a business trip, but as a high-profile return, just like the "Count of Monte Cristo" in Alexandre Dumas's novel , officially announcing that he is about to launch a counterattack.
This...isn't Renly. At least, Philip doesn't want Renly to turn into this..
But Renly seemed to be aware of Philip's worry - even though he still had his eyes closed, "They can't change me, and I won't change. It's just that there are some things and some decisions that I need to learn to move forward after all. Maybe I don't want to Rule the world, but at least I can protect my persistence and no one can hurt me. They have made a choice, then they must bear the price. This is reincarnation. We are all puppets trapped on the wheel of fate. , isn’t it?？”
Some people never know when "enough is enough"; others are always "extending too much".”.
“As for Hayes and Maya, it would be great if they were willing to come and help. Arthur, Andre, and Eaton all need help with many projects here; and, after purchasing the mansion, I also need help, To be honest, emerging nobles are always not as rich as aristocratic families, right? "Even at this time, Renly was still joking - emerging noble. This was describing his family after he established his own family..
Hayes and Maya are Phillip's children. They are both older than Renly and have their own lives..
If Renly officially declares war on George and Elizabeth, they are all likely to be affected - and they are also dangerous objects on the front line. Renly does not want this to happen; however, Renly's expression is very considerate: No To extend a helping hand from above, but to express that he himself needs help.
“……Okay." Philip knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter. He even began to think: Should he just turn around and leave? Is this the best solution? Now things have begun to deteriorate further, and no one can predict the future. where will it go.
“Philip, do you think I should receive an award? "In the silence, Renly asked a question, the core question; however, his voice remained calm throughout, and it was difficult to distinguish the specific emotions, making it impossible to guess..
“No," Philip replied calmly..
The corners of Renly's mouth raised slightly, and he gave a low smile, "Why?？”
“It doesn't mean anything to you. If you must accept it, then you deserve better." Philip once again resumed his familiar butler appearance..
Renly asked curiously, "Do you know what medal the royal family is planning to award to me?？”
After all, rumors are just rumors, and internal rumors can only give a rough list. The prime minister, cabinet, and foreign ministry responsible for nominations every year may all have some news, but the review of the royal family and the specific medal level are all. Only a few top people can understand it. In other words, the list of medals is not difficult to find out, and the all-pervasive paparazzi will find out the information early every time; but only the parties who have received the invitation letter can know the medal levels..
Philip shook his head, "I don't know. But I am sure that you deserve better. After all, we are discussing the British royal family now.".”
The understatement contained complaints and self-deprecation: Obviously, Philip also understands the style of the royal family, and it is absolutely impossible to grant excessive honors to the young Renly. Those "outdated and pedantic" traditions are exactly what Philip himself is upholding - -It’s just that treating Renly is different after all..
“Ha." Renly couldn't help but chuckle, but he didn't explain what medal he refused; and Phillip didn't ask further..
The two people in the car stopped talking, and then Phillip restarted the engine, and the car started slowly and joined the traffic again..
But before they drove too far, the siren of a police car came from behind. The sound of "Woo-Woo-Woo" was extremely harsh, signaling them to pull over. Philip drove the car out of the traffic flow for no apparent reason, and returned to the road shoulder. , stop.
After waiting for a while, you can see two patrol officers coming over and knocking on the car window..
Phillip rolled down the car window and cast a polite inquiring look..
“Please show your driving permit and driver's license." The patrolman said, with a little uncertainty in his voice. As Philip took out his ID, he then asked, "You just parked on the side of the road for a very, very long time, right? what happened? Are there any special circumstances?？”
It seems that there was not any violation, but something too abnormal, which attracted the attention of the patrol officer..
“I was a little sleepy and felt that fatigue driving was not appropriate, so I parked on the side of the road, closed my eyes and rested for a while to make sure that my fatigue had dissipated, and then I got back on the road." Philip still remained polite and explained in an orderly manner..
There seems to be no flaw in this explanation....
However, the patrol officer still had some doubts, "Sorry, please understand our work. Can I ask who the passenger in the back seat is?"？”
