Chapter 108: Talking
The women's clothing boss walked away with an inexplicable round-faced girl, and Avril looked at William's flat face, a bloodless face full of desire to speak.
Her Majesty pursed her chapped red lips and asked with a somewhat melancholy expression, "William, do you know that too......?" Should I promise him?"
Promise him what? Could it be that the big guy in women's clothing has proposed to you?
William's expression changed, he pinched the coin that suddenly became cold and piercing, and asked suspiciously.
"Promise him what?"
As soon as William's words came out, the coin in his arms completely regained its calm, not only did it no longer move, but even the temperature returned to normal, as if it were just an ordinary ordinary coin.
Her Majesty bit her lower lip and looked at William's handsome face without answering his question.
Originally...... Don't you really know? So do I have to tell you about it?
A sigh that no one could hear, came from the coin in William's arms, as if lamenting that fate was so unstoppable.
Rewind time a bit.
After the women's clothing boss finished talking about all the plans for the "artificial saints", Avril looked coldly at the stunningly beautiful middle-aged man in front of her, and asked in a voice as cold as ice:
"Why are you telling me all this? because you think that I have no room to resist in the face of the power of the three True God Churches, right?"
The women's clothing boss shook her head and bowed very sincerely.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, regardless of whether the identity of the saints is 'man-made' or not, you and those saints are the agents of Eros in this world, although I don't know what the attitude of the other churches is, but I can guarantee that the Church of Eros has great respect for you, and even the saints before you. ”
Avril smiled sadly. "Reverence? Will you revere a bottle with divine powers? Reverence an oil lamp that hangs on the door to repel mosquitoes and flies?"
The women's clothing boss knelt down on one knee with a pop, and knelt on the ground of the tent with an almost humble posture, and said a little anxiously:
"Lord Saint, you really misunderstood, we definitely don't dare to have the slightest disrespect for you, let alone have such a despicable idea, in our hearts, you and the previous generations of Saints are ......"
Avril raised her hand to interrupt him, and asked with a cold expression: "Okay, since you said that you respect us very much, then let me ask you, did the previous saints all voluntarily become the so-called 'lamp of Eros'?"
The women's clothing boss was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The previous saints were indeed not all voluntary, and some were even dying...... He was still cursing us before it was extinguished. ”
Avril smiled feebly.
Sure enough, the lamp of love is just a puppet, and in the face of the pressure of the three True God Churches, he has no choice at all.
"But your ancestors are different!"
The women's clothing boss said sincerely: "Your ancestor Fran I is very similar to you, the same kind and intelligent, and the same desire to bring love to the world. ”
"He was also angry when he learned of this plan, but in the end he chose to lay down his life for the people of Fran, he was the first and only saint to voluntarily ascend the gates of the dead country, and the one I respect the most. ”
Avril shook her head and said with some sarcasm: "Yes, then if I say, I want to refuse your proposal, I don't want to be the king of Fran, and I won't care about the damn door, what will you do?"
......
The women's clothing boss was silent, because the answer was undoubted, if the door of the dead country opened again, and unconscious low-level undead poured in. I'm afraid that it will not only be the Fran family who will suffer, but also the small half of the Alpha continent, so no matter what, Avril will have to go to the gate of the Dead Country to go through such a journey.
"So don't say those hypocritical words, am I not a puppet that you hang on the door after all?"
Avril's voice was hollow and cold, no longer gentle and cordial.
"I don't care if I die or not, I just want to ask you, why am I not the same personality as the rest of the royal family? Is it because I am a saint that I am the way I am now?"
After a deep groan, the women's clothing boss replied with some hesitation: "This...... The dossier is not detailed enough, and we are not sure ......"
Avril smiled self-deprecatingly.
"yes, you just need to send a puppet to death every once in a while, so why bother with what that puppet looks like?"
"So, is everything about me false? My character is false, my thoughts are false, even my emotions are false?"
After saying these words sadly, Avril looked at her palm, the skin of which was smooth and white, and there was not even a single blemish or callus to be found, except for a little toughness where she often held the quill.
This is a pampered hand, but in the past countless days and nights, it is this hand that has issued a large number of royal decrees, approved piles of official documents, and even held a token to command thousands of troops.
However, all his past efforts have been denied, and he will do this not out of his own heart, but because he is a chosen saint, his pity for the common people is fake, and his desire to change the world is fake, even those ...... It's all fake.
"Not really!"
The women's clothing boss eagerly spoke: "The saint lords are indeed different from other demon bloodlines, but ......"
"Don't say it, I promise you. ”
Avril closed her eyes and said faintly: "Whether I'm fake or not, I'm the queen of Farran, I still don't want to see a large number of undead passing through the gate of the dead country, please take me back, I still have a lot to do." ”
......
William's body shook slightly, and he suddenly lost that sense of "everything is right", he reached out and touched the coin in his arms that suddenly quieted down, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Then, he raised his head and looked silently at Avril's face. Her Majesty has not yet answered the question he just asked, what exactly did the people of the Love Church ask for, and why did she hesitate so much?
Meeting William's gaze, Avril smiled softly.
"It's not a big deal, they said they would help me reunite the flanges, and even support me as queen. But on the other hand, I have to do something for them when they ascend to the throne. ”
