Chapter 65: Doctored Memory

Rand said slowly, "You're right, I've tampered with your memories since that explosion at the top of the Cross Wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info But do you know what happened at that time? I'll tell you if I don't know.

"After the explosion, I only felt that the vibration of the wall made my whole body paralyzed, and you pressed on me very hard. I tried to push you away, but you were unconscious. I glanced at your hand and it was all blood. I was anxious to wake you up, only to find that half of your body had been blown away, your lungs were exposed, and you were about to die......"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but the lost memories began to come back to me, and the pain in my body began to slowly hit me, irritating my nerves.

By that time, the struggle between Tyrion and Augustine had already come to an end, and Tyrion was beaten down the walls. I want you to live, but I can't do anything but watch the pool of blood beneath you grow bigger and bigger...... Do you know how desperate I was at that time? I only hope you survive, so ......"

Rand didn't go on, but the picture in my mind grew clearer and clearer, and the impact of those memories on me made it impossible for me to think anymore.

I remember.

I remember them all.

The sky is black.

The earth was cold all around, but my body felt warm, and I felt like I was lying on the ground, unconscious. My eyes were bright red, was my blood covering my eyes?

I saw Rand looking down at me with tears in his eyes.

Little fool, why are you crying again?

I tried to reach out and wipe tears from his face, but I didn't feel it. Huh? What about my hands?

I turned my head sideways and saw a stump not far away, with leather gloves that Rand had made for me. Isn't that my hand? How did you get there?

The head is getting heavier and heavier.

I felt like the tips of my left fingers were getting colder and colder, and I was so cold.

I rubbed my fingers into Rand's palm, and it was much warmer.

The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger.

Why isn't Rand with me anymore?

I barely opened my eyes in a daze, how did Rand appear in the pavilion at the top of the wall? How could there be another person in that pavilion?

Isn't the unruly red hair, dark red coat, long leather boots, and the black marks under the slender fingers Augustine?

The body is a little cold again. But I couldn't move, and I didn't bother to move.

"Ask for ...... Please, help...... Save...... He! Rand's voice came to my ears intermittently, was I hallucinating?

I couldn't help but open my eyes slightly again and saw Rand crawling at Augustine's feet. "Save him, as long as you save him, I will promise you everything!"

How does this scene feel familiar? It seems that when we first met seven years ago, he begged the king to keep me.

So what does he want to do this time?

My eyes slowly drifted to them again, but unfortunately, my body was so weak that I couldn't hear or see what they were doing...... I just faintly saw them on the ground, drawing something on their hands, and then a pillar of light lit up on the ground, and then I didn't remember anything......

I see.

No wonder I have the smell of demons on my body, it turns out that my current body is spliced together by demons, and it turns out that something like that has happened in my body.

I only felt that the pain on my body was more intense, but my eyes couldn't help but look at Rand's body. He was still dressed as bright as usual, and his hair was neatly braided at the back of his head, but I felt that the person in front of me was just a shell. Because I understand the price of making such a pact with a demon like Augustine.

I slowly spoke: "So, are you the mastermind of those murders?" ”

"Yes. On that day, Augustine sent me and you back to Doddrow through the crack in the sky, and happened to be seen by the Duke of Gould. I'm a prince, and a prince and a demon are in collusion...... This kind of thing I can only kill people and kill them. Those who died later were all people who had more or less guessed the truth...... Rosa, you know, now I am the only heir to the Duchy of Sarandel, and if it is known that the future monarch is having an affair with the devil, then this country will cease to exist. So I had to start first. Part of them were solved by assassins under Archimedes. For the rest, I had to let Augustine take action......" Rand said slowly, his expression was slightly sad, as if he had been fully prepared for his future fate.

"So...... The contract you signed with Augustine...... The cost ......"

Rand took a deep breath, and his expression became calm: "Isn't it just a soul...... I swear to him that after death, the soul will be taken over to him, and there will be no chance of reincarnation...... And what he wants to repay me in return is to fulfill my wish before I die. Whether it is to restore your body, or to repair my wounds, or to kill the ministers at my behest, they are all just part of the contract......"

I couldn't stand the truth he kept telling me: didn't that mean he was the way he was because of me? I...... It's not worth it!

I felt my body suddenly start to get cold again, and I kept shivering. But he didn't know what to say to him. After a while, I slowly spoke: "Then you...... Why don't you tell me ......"

"Did it work to tell you?" For some reason, Rand suddenly began to get agitated, and his voice became higher, I had never seen him like this.

"You want me to tell you that I sold my soul to a demon for you? I can't say that...... I know that it will be difficult for you to stay by my side in the future, and I know that you are going to join the Holy Court and will soon leave Doddreau. If you know these truths at this time, can you still leave desperately...... I want you to be free, Rosa do you understand! In order to stagger the time and prevent people from thinking that you had something to do with the murder, I changed everyone's memories and deliberately brought the incident forward...... But what about you? I told you not to pursue it further, but you have to make things the way they are! Now so many people know that those murders are related to demons...... How do you want me to give everyone an explanation! Things are out of hand...... Can I really find a murderer? Do you want me to tell them that I colluded with the devil to kill them? I'm sorry...... I can't do it anymore...... I can't just follow my own will as I used to...... I am also responsible for the tens of millions of subjects of the Duchy of Sarandel...... This matter has to be settled. Now it seems that you are the only one who did this...... is the most reasonable......" Randt's voice choked up a little, and he couldn't say any more.

I lowered my head slightly, understanding what he meant.

This serial murder case has caused a storm in the city, and as the future monarch of the principality, Rand must give the public a result. However, the aspects involved in this matter are too complicated, and he can't just find a random person and say that he is the mastermind, which is too unconvincing. Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, I am the most suitable scapegoat. There is no shortage of all kinds of strange rumors on me, and I also assassinated the second prince Aubrey, and summoned a monster like Longde, if I had an affair with a demon and caused this series of tragedies, no one will doubt it.

I didn't speak, just sighed slightly, but I felt extremely sad. Who is responsible for the current situation?

"So...... What are you going to do with me? I asked.

Rand didn't look back: "After the coronation, I will personally guillotine you." ”

I closed my eyes and didn't speak, but I knew in my heart that from this moment on, the friendship between us for so many years really came to an end.
