Chapter 4 What is a transaction?
This is something that Calista does not want to see.
That's why you had that transaction, right?
Robin suddenly understood something.
"The power of the temple is already declining, and I can't even control the local big church, let alone under the ever-expanding royal power."
Calista pushed her wheelchair with both hands and gradually walked out the door.
Robin followed behind her, holding the wheelchair's handlebars with both hands.
The two men walked out of the conference room one after the other, and gradually walked towards the temple platform.
Overhead, the trees are shady, and the trunk and main branches of the tree of life extend together, shading the sky.
"But I'm on my way here......" Robin said again.
"What?" Calista looked up into his eyes.
"It's nothing, I'm just wondering if centralization is a bad thing."
In the King's Castle, he had witnessed how a king had subdued his enemies, and the convincing on their faces was not pretended.
It was precisely because of this that he felt a deep shock from the soul.
"Huh." Calista pursed her lips sarcastically.
"What do you think we are?" She turned her head and looked up at the tree above.
"We are God's spokesmen on earth, and we hold divine power in our hands. We have given life to the world and we have empowered them at the same time. ”
Robin lowered her head and listened to her quietly.
"But what are we now?"
Calista smiled playfully, her eyes showing loneliness and depth that were completely different from their appearances.
"We, god-like beings revered by all men, are now reduced to the playthings of power. We are forced to submit to the royal power, to the king to whom we once gave power.
Then, we become tools. ”
Calista looked wryly at the shade of the trees above.
"You know what, what it's like to be captive."
She turned around and held out her right hand to Robin.
Robin held her for some reason.
Her fingers were cold and soft.
"If you truly become an oracle, I'm afraid you won't want to stay here for a day."
"Probably so."
Robin sighed in a barely audible voice.
He was getting more and more confused now.
Originally, he was in pursuit of the truth of the events in his dream, and he felt that it was a lucky thing to come here, at least to solve the mystery that had plagued him for more than ten years.
But now it's even more confusing.
What exactly is right.
What's wrong.
Is he really a savior?
Or is it really just a prisoner, as Calista says?
He shook his hand gently.
The fate that seems to be able to grasp and can't grasp is pulling him.
"So what's the deal you struck?"
Robin leaned over and asked.
"Restart the Tri-Power Meeting." Calista's eyes froze suddenly.
……
After the storm, everything returns to silence and beauty.
The sunset shone obliquely, reflecting the mountain crimson.
The trees swayed, and all but the evergreens lost their leaves and turned into bare branches.
Like a sword stuck in the dirt one after another.
Hima sat alone on the top of the mountain.
Shalom's saber squared at her knees.
Her eyes were distant and lonely.
The surrounding scene is extremely bleak.
"Winter is coming."
Robin's voice rang out.
Himma's body moved slightly.
Robin walked up to her and sat side by side with her.
The two men were shoulders close together, the fur on them rubbing.
"You'll get sick if you sit outside for a long time."
Robin continued.
"You're such a nasty chosen one." Himma said with a blank face.
"You're still that annoying." Robin laughed silently.
"So what are you here for?" Jima let out a cold snort of disdain, "Come and laugh at me, look, the arrogant son of the Grand Duke, the vanguard officer of the king's personal guard, is now so embarrassed, so lonely, so cowardly......"
As she spoke, tears rolled in her eyes and her voice choked.
Hima couldn't continue with what was next, and only turned her head away, not wanting Robin to see her joke.
But the next moment—
A broad arm reached over and put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his arms.
Yes......
Hima let out a soft snort, and then hit her head into a wide, soft spot.
Robin's heartbeat grew clear in his ears.
"It's painful to lose a family."
Robin smiled bitterly.
"No matter how much I loved her, she never thought about it—
Shalom, how selfish that Shalom guy is, who never told me about such a big thing. ”
Tears glistened in his eyes.
"You're not the heir of the Grand Duke, you're not the new Grand Duke of Yuiwa, you're not the vanguard of the King's guard, you're just her child, that's all."
It was at this moment that Himma's body trembled violently.
"No, no, I don't want to be her child, not at all."
Jima stubbornly pushed Robin away and stood up.
She took two steps back and looked at him with ruddy eyes.
Stubborn as a one-horned sheep with a lot of tears.
"I'm not saddened by her death."
She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and roared coldly.
"There is no such mother in the whole world. She never treated me like her child.
For Shalom, I am just a useful tool, a tool that exists to perpetuate the family's domination of the realm.
Her training was unusually harsh and cruel, and I had been in military training since I was 3 years old, and by the time I was 16 years old, there was not a single wound on my body.
I didn't want to live under her control anymore, so I became the king's guard.
But what about Shalom?
I am nothing more than a pawn that can be buried next to His Majesty. Maybe she gave up on me a long time ago. ”
"No, she didn't." Robin said lightly.
"No, she is!" Hima roared loudly, "Look at it, such a big thing has happened, killing the king and usurping the throne!" She didn't even let me know anything!
As the King's personal guard, I'm likely to die in the crowd when they attack.
And if she fails, I will inevitably be jealous of His Majesty, and no one, no one, will believe that I have not participated in this rebellion at all. ”
"No, quite the opposite." Robin smiled bitterly and looked at her with pity like a long-lived old man.
"She loves you."
"Shit!"
"Think about it, if it weren't for that, how could you save your life?"
Robin said, "Olivia, Your Majesty, what kind of person is she?" Will she be able to see the facts, or will she be blinded by illusions? ”
Jima was slightly stunned.
"If you want to deceive Your Majesty, there is only this one possibility—
Because it's a fact.
It is a fact that you and Shalom have different positions.
It's a fact that she's fighting against you at King's Castle.
It is even more true that you did not know and did not participate in this rebellion. ”
Robin paused, "Haven't you already inherited the Yuyan Domain, with the permission and witness of His Majesty the King." ”
"You mean ......"
"Shalom, your mother knows His Majesty well so well that she uses her own way to protect you."
He sighed heavily, "Otherwise, the end would have been different." ”
"How could it be ......?"
Himma's body trembled and she fell to her knees from the ground.
She crawled on the wet soil, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and let her go and howled.
