"If she already knew this was the case, why did she choose to come here today to say these words?"

Robin muttered softly, frowning in confusion.

In his previous knowledge, no Grand Guild was as reckless as Layla today, accusing the current king and oracle without any evidence.

This behavior looks like madness.

In his belief, keeping one's own safety comes first.

If there is evidence, then today's complaint can be made.

If there is strength, then send troops directly to make all this a reality.

His gaze looked at Aojia in his seat.

If it was Olja, she would have done it.

"Looks like a fool, huh?" The blonde Kaye chuckled behind him.

Robin's eyes were calm and he didn't look back.

"Yes, at least not like a scheming duke."

Can such a Grand Duke really protect his people?

"Either you don't make a move, or if you do, you must put people to death.

You can't leave anything behind, and you can't make your situation more precarious.

This is the right thing for an archduke to do.

From any point of view, Archduke Layla's behavior just now seemed too reckless. ”

It's like a young, energetic, impulsive child.

Robin glanced at Mattida, who was expressionless on the seat, and then mentally denied the idea.

No, I'm afraid even the child is more calm than she just appeared.

"Regardless of whether what she said is true or not, at least you care about it now, don't you?" Kaye whispered.

She stood behind Robin with her hands folded, her gaze calmly out of the hall.

"What do you mean......"

Robin's eyes widened suddenly, and he understood a little.

Yes, Archduke Layla was not as reckless as he thought, reckless of all the consequences.

Quite the opposite.

She is a reckless and wild look, but full of wisdom.

Accusing the king is an act of self-preservation without evidence.

Whether what she said was true or not, but at least one thing—

Archduke Layla's situation will become safer than ever.

Imagine what the people of the kingdom would think if a man suddenly died after accusing the king and the oracle of his crimes?

The first suspects behind the scenes must be the two people in power she had previously accused.

Therefore, neither His Majesty nor the Divine Envoy will let her have anything to do.

Robin's mind came to mind Olivia's smile and the look on her face as she left in a hurry.

I'm afraid that countless eyeliners and skilled guards have been sent out, closely observing Layla's every move and protecting her strictly.

Even if she wanted to kill herself, she couldn't do it.

Besides......

Robin propped up his chin and thought earnestly.

After such a fuss just now, out of compensatory psychology and also for the sake of face, for a long time after that, the temple will inevitably have a lot more ration for the Fruit of Life that the final path will receive than before.

Otherwise, it will fall into the tongue of the people, and people will criticize it because he was accused of crimes by the Grand Duke Layla, so he will deduct the fruits of the final way to fight against His Excellency the Grand Duke.

Finally, as Kaye said, even if there is not the slightest evidence for Layla's accusations, but he is very mindful of what she has said before, then the people here and the kingdom as a whole will soon know what she said.

Robin couldn't help but think of a female classmate in high school.

He used to like this girl very much for a while, because she looks pure and cute, and at the same time she is very lively and cheerful, and she belongs to the kind of person who you can't help but laugh when you see her laughing.

Rumor has it that she is a ****.

And 500 pieces a night.

After Robin heard such rumors, his first reaction was not to doubt the authenticity of the statement, but to take the initiative to alienate the girl.

The people around her began to point fingers at her, which made people believe in the truth of this matter even more.

Until one day the girl committed suicide.

Robin later couldn't help but think that maybe it wasn't like that.

The truth of the facts became a Rashomon in his heart.

At the same time, he also knew one thing-

Some things don't need evidence, and the more people believe it, the more they become true.

How ridiculous.

And how cruel and terrifyingly realistic.

How similar it was to what he was witnessing now.

To a certain extent, because the things that Layla complained about [may exist], the innocent God and His Majesty the King were not so clean, and she cast a shadow on everyone's psychology, causing people to think about the truth of the bloody night of the year, consciously or unconsciously.

That's what people say.

Her purpose has been achieved.

I have to say that Layla's behavior just now seems reckless, but in fact, it has achieved several very important goals.

Robin smiled bitterly and let out a sigh of emotion in his heart-

Sure enough, each of these grand dukes was more shrewd than the other.

If Calista is gone, the situation and opponents he will face may not be able to handle it.

……

After the departure of the [unpopular] Duke of Dead Sword, Layla, it seems that everything is back to its happy atmosphere.

After all, today is a good day for the Kingdom of Itnell to usher in the Chosen One.

After his Majesty's splendid speech and congratulatory speech, he was surrounded by the King's Guard.

The temple has prepared a dinner party for everyone, and most of them will stay except for some people who have important things to do and leave first.

Compared to the wild and passionate banquets in the Frost Keep.

Obviously, the temple dinner today is much milder and more ceremonial.

No one stripped naked at the banquet, and no one danced enthusiastically in the temple hall.

Here, Robin saw people of noble birth and those who had to learn to become "noble" because they had to mingle in the upper circles, all smiling at each other, behaving gracefully, and talking in a low and gentle manner.

The setting sun casts its light from the surrounding windows, and the chandeliers on the dome illuminate the murals of the god of life all around.

Everything is rendered sacred.

In such an environment, any vulgar language may seem disrespectful to God.

The food prepared at the temple was sumptuous and exquisite, mostly served in silver vessels, the meat was neatly cut, and the vegetables were cooked with tempting flavors.

Under the light, everything looks extremely beautiful.

Whatever people need, they can get it from the attendants of the temple, and they can also go to the surrounding food stations to get it themselves.

The form of the dinner was graceful and luxurious, full of sacredness and nobility.

But the purpose of the dinner is also very simple -

In order to let everyone communicate more, and at the same time, let the top classes of these kingdoms know more about the current Chosen One, the person who will become the Divine Messenger in the future.

To a certain extent, the most important purpose of the dinner party is to allow Robin to integrate and understand this circle of power as soon as possible, so that he can be more convenient when controlling the power of the Divine Council in the future.

So, after a few glasses of wine, Calista also exited the temple hall, and was helped by Lord Anne to the second floor to rest.

The oracle left the stage for today's protagonists—

Robin the Chosen One.
