Chapter 60: The Silver Dragon Princess in Action 3
(Thank you for the monthly pass!Thank you for your support!)
The nobles watched in amazement as Evan pushed the door away, everyone was silent, even the stupidest guys would be infected by this strange atmosphere, people didn't even dare to talk to each other, but the nobles who were usually high up looked at Rebecca with a sinking face at a loss.
Rebecca knew that she had just broken Aven's heart and that she didn't seem politically qualified. But she had to think about the overall situation and make seemingly politically naïve moves.
Because of the lack of information, Rebecca now only thinks that Evan has embarked on the evil path of disregarding human life, and Charlotte's disappearance makes Rebecca even more frightened, she is worried that Evan has become indifferent to the point of doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal.
Therefore, she had to show her attitude in front of many nobles and force Evan to change his mind. Her subtext is to send a signal to the nobles, telling Evan that no matter what your purpose is, if you dare to hurt Charlotte, you must be prepared to give up your inheritance and be removed from the family.
She didn't know that because of her persecution, Evan was sinking deeper and deeper on the road of giving up on himself.
"Why are you looking at me? Evan will find Charlotte, and now, the banquet continues!" Rebecca said toward the quiet ballroom.
People woke up from a dream, whether they were sincere or fake, and they all made expressions of enjoying the feast. But everyone was worried, and Aven's series of mediocre actions a while ago had divided the nobles into three factions, some of which had turned to support Charlotte to rule the North, some of whom still supported Aven, and the vast majority of whom decided to wait and see.
But today's development is not what everyone imagined, and in times of foreign wars, no matter which faction wants a smooth transition of succession. Erosa could not afford a civil war, and they did not want a civil strife to break out over their succession.
The nobles whispered and worried, hoping that everything was just their thoughts, hoping that Evan would bring Charlotte back intact, otherwise a civil strife would inevitably lead to a war between Erosa and Icewind Castle.
As a basic dish, the northern border is in chaos, not to mention the southern expedition, and it is difficult for Erosa, who fights on three sides, to even protect himself.
"Do you still think it's nonsense?" asked Cecilia towards Fivinn Leigh.
Vivien Leigh felt a great anger for a moment, and she jerked back, only to find that Cecilia's face was only anxious. The anger that had arisen from her anger subsided instantly, and she realized that Cecilia was equally uneasy.
"If it does get to that...... "Vivien Leigh asked a stupid question, "which side do you support?"
Cecilia's eyes burned, "You know the answer. I'm ......!!" She suddenly shut up.
Vivien Leigh followed Cecilia's gaze, only to see the Imperial Princess Cynthia coming, her face was sinking like water, and she no longer had the perfect demeanor of the previous spring, but said straight to the point, "Fevien Leigh, can I do something for you?"
Vivien Leigh was shocked, she looked at Cynthia in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, you know?"
"Do you mean that my fiancé murdered your fiancé, or that your two brothers are fighting over and overt, or that my fiancé kidnapping civilians?" Cynthia smiled sarcastically at the corner of her lips, but there was more sadness in her eyes than her heart, "Or is it all three?"
"W-What!?"
Vivien Leigh only felt cold, and a string in her head seemed to snap suddenly, echoing in her eardrums with an earth-shattering buzz.
She subconsciously looked at Cecilia as if asking for help, "His Majesty Elbert's death and kidnapping...... Brother Evan did it too?!"
Cecilia, who was implicated, frowned angrily, and she asked, "Princess, which side do you think I should be on now?"
A chill hit her heart, and Vivien Leigh felt that the whole world had changed in an instant. She looked at the banquet hall, which had been revived with activity by Rebecca's orders, and saw that every nobleman was secretly looking at herself while talking to each other, it was not an illusion! As a member of the Clayderman family, she also had the inheritance of Erosa, and she could not stay out of it!
So she felt that her heart was like a piece of ice that would not melt for thousands of years, and the blood through her heart was eroded by the ice, making her shiver with cold. Even the crowds in the banquet hall and the fire in the fireplace didn't make her feel the slightest warmth.
She looked at Cynthia, shaking her head like a fawn begging for mercy from a hunter, "No!
"My brother is the Master of the Seven Rings, how could he be poisoned by a mere cook?Fort Savoie is heavily defended, who can transport hundreds of people to the castle without even knowing it?Why were you, the head of the Knights of the Rose, excluded from the investigators by Her Highness Rebecca? You know, that's the only explanation. Cynthia's words were harder than the words, and those words were more terrifying and sharp than the sharp arrows on the battlefield, piercing into Vivien Leigh's heart one by one!
From Fei Wenli's disbelief, the faint uneasiness turned into reality, making her spin around. Cecilia grabbed the crooked Vivien Leigh, who rubbed her brow in Cecilia's uneasy voice, and she pulled herself together and asked in a bitter tone.
"What about you, Sister Cynthia, if you had to choose, which side would you be on?"
On one side is his fiancé, and on the other side is his brother. Vivien Leigh is like a pilgrim begging for truth, longing for Cynthia to tell her the answer.
"I don't know......," Cynthia said with tears in her eyes, hiding her face, "I just don't think Charlotte deserves to pay." ”
- No! I'm going to let you! Make Clayderman pay! I'm going to make this disgusting, filthy and deformed family pay! I hate you, I hate you! Why are you at the center of everybody? Why do you always enjoy everybody's love? That's it, but why am I the one who pays the price!?
Cynthia roared in her heart.
Vivien Leigh didn't know that Cynthia resented the Clayderman family because of Elbert's death, and she didn't know that the misunderstanding she saw that day was actually Cynthia's desire to take the initiative to seduce Charlotte and make Clayderman ruined by the shame of the outside world and the dispute between the three siblings. Cynthia has almost turned into a vengeful demon in extreme pain and jealousy, and she has a false attitude towards Rebecca and Aven, but she wants to destroy this thousand-year-old nobleman with the same obsession!
She thought, "Are you so blasphemous and ugly, pretending to wantonly hurt other people's families under the pretense of loving each other! Committing cruel and indifferent atrocities in the name of justice and love! Are all the lives in the world combined inferior to your ugly family affection and love? How can there be such a hypocritical and ugly family like you in the world!?
In that case, let's go to hell with the same ugly me, with the dreaming Elbert, and with the ruined empire!
"What about you...... What are you going to do?" Cynthia, who hid her face and wept, choked up, but she actually laughed heartily in her heart! With the thrill of destroying everything, she forced Vivien Leigh to make a decision, she felt that she would definitely fall into hell for betraying this innocent and innocent girl, but it didn't matter, that's what she wanted, she didn't care!
In this confused emotional labyrinth, Vivien Leigh bit her lower lip and made a decision!
She said, "I'm going to stop this!"
