Chapter 49: The Choice
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but choke up a little, after all, this is the last thing I want to recall, suddenly the princess gently stroked my forehead with her hand, I looked up, only to see her eyes full of sympathy, at that moment my heart was full of warmth...
"Wait... When the child came to his senses, he saw his adoptive father covered in blood, and he tried his best to save the other party, but to no avail, he could only cry and repeatedly say sorry to his adoptive father... I'm sorry... However, the adoptive father did not blame him at all, but comforted the child to live well no matter what, and must not give up hope, and in the end, this old man, who was drunk all day long and always liked to tell some vulgar jokes, passed away like this, and it was not until that moment that the child realized that he was so deeply in love with this person... After this incident, the child completely lost confidence in life, and after dealing with his adoptive father's funeral, he originally ended his life, but he didn't expect... I knew I shouldn't have bothered with Ellie's business in the first place..."
"But what if we don't get together then?"
"But don't you think I'm dragging everyone down? You, Ellie, and Ah Zi, everyone used to live their own peaceful lives, but since you met me, everything has been ruined..."
"I can't blame you for this, it's the fault of this era."
"But this era is also indirectly caused by me, if I hadn't come to this world, nothing would have happened!"
"No, it's not." The princess shook her head and said firmly.
"It's not you who really make this world so smoky, it's the greed that lurks in people's hearts, even if Houdini didn't find the Horcrux in the first place, there will be other careerists who will take risks to achieve their own selfish desires, and the result may be worse. I've seen too much of the dark side of this world over the years as a Templar, and I can responsibly say that of the people I've met so far, Kane. Roger is definitely kind enough, and if you weren't so sad all the time, I might have fallen in love with you."
"This..."Although it was a serious injury, I couldn't help but feel a little shy when I heard this, and the princess couldn't help but smile mischievously when she saw this.
I don't know if it's because of the princess's careful care, or because of the changes brought about by the awakening of the demon king, my recovery speed is amazing, and I can get out of bed and walk around in less than a week, this night the princess suddenly summoned Ellie and them to my room, and told my life story in public, although after the last time, everyone guessed a little bit about my identity, but when the facts were really in front of me, everyone was still a little unbelievable, Ellie's brows were tightly locked, as if she was thinking about something, Xiao Jia was grim, Obviously scared, and Ah Zi was a little contradictory, peeking at me from time to time, there was fear in his eyes, and some sympathy, and after introducing the whole thing, the princess said: "Okay, the whole thing is roughly like this, the reason why I brought everyone here tonight is to discuss what to do next. Now there are nothing more than three choices in front of us, the first is that everyone will disperse on the spot and go their separate ways, after all, it will definitely not be a pleasant thing to travel with the Demon King of the World..."As she spoke, the princess deliberately glanced at it mischievously, and I suddenly turned my head in embarrassment.
The princess smiled, and then said: "As for the second option, it is much simpler, kill Kane on the spot to prevent future troubles!"
"Ahh Everyone didn't expect the princess's words to suddenly turn around, and they were all shocked for a while, and the biggest reaction besides me was Ah Zi, I couldn't help but look at her unexpectedly, looking at each other, the little girl hurriedly blushed and lowered her head, I felt that she cared about me from the bottom of her heart...
At this time, I saw the princess raise her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Of course, there is a third option besides this..."
"What choice?" Ah Zi couldn't help but say nervously.
The princess glanced at her, and the expression on her face was quite complicated: "That is to find a way to help Kane completely seal the spirit of the demon king on his body, not to mention whether there is such a way in this world, even if there is, there must be dangers along the way, once Kane is the reincarnation of the demon king leaks out, people from all walks of life will inevitably flock to it, and then we will be enemies of the whole world if we don't get it right... I would like you to be aware of this beforehand... Okay, now that all three paths have been laid out, as for where you want to go, please choose for yourself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately fell silent, after all, the decision they made next would be directly related to their own life and death, and unexpectedly the first one to speak was Ah Zi...
"Excuse me... Princess, which path do you choose?"
The princess was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled: "Yo, it was originally me who asked the question, why is it that you have tested me now?" But it's better to be clear... My choice—" The princess looked me up and down as she spoke, her eyes like a housewife at the market selecting ingredients for dinner, and I was furious with her eyes...
"Actually, I want to slaughter him in my heart, so it's the easiest way to do it..."
"Hey!" Although I knew that she was probably playing a prank again, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when I heard this.
Sure enough, at this time, I only heard the princess's words: "But who made me a good person?" After all, everyone has been getting along for so long, even raising a kitten and a puppy is also in love, anyway, I have nowhere to go now, so I have to grit my teeth and accompany our "Demon King" to the end."
Although the princess still didn't forget to taunt me a few words in these words, I couldn't help but be moved when I heard this...
"That's... In that case, I'll choose the third way!" At this time, I only heard Ah Zi say firmly.
The princess looked at her and said, "Sister Zi, you have to think about it carefully, what we choose now is a point of no return, you are still young, there is no need to take such a risk."
"I know..."Ah Zi nodded, his hands clenched into fists as if he had mustered up 120,000 points of courage.
"I know how risky it is, but that's why I don't feel comfortable letting you and Kane go on an adventure, princess, as you just said, we've been together for so long, and the relationship is like a family, so I also hope to help Kane find a way out... What's more, if the spirit of the demon king is left alone, then this world will still be destroyed in the future, in this case, it is better for everyone to work together to take another risk, maybe we can save the whole world!"
"Well said, well said." At this time, the princess couldn't help but applaud and laugh when she heard this, which made Ah Zi a little embarrassed.
"Princess, don't be like this, what I say is true..."
The princess smiled: "Sister Zi, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to make fun of you, what you said just now is really good, what we are doing next is really saving the world... But that's probably not the biggest reason why you chose this path, right?"
Hearing the princess say this, Ah Zi's face suddenly became even redder...
