Robin's face was gloomy, although he had already guessed that this was the case, but it was really uncomfortable to be treated as a puppet.

Aojia said it bluntly.

He looked sideways at the blue potion in Matilda's hand, wondering how he could get rid of his memory and be cleansed.

"Blood Oath." Robin said lightly.

"Why don't you make a blood oath like me?"

"Since the Blood Oath guarantees that the oath will be carried out without betrayal, it will also be a good way to maintain your relationship. Regardless of whether any Grand Duke becomes king, the Great can maintain his autonomy through the Blood Oath, and even use it to restrain the power of the new king.

For example, according to you, the House of Commons system will be abolished, and the laws of the country will be agreed upon by the Grand Duke, and the Ecumenical Council will decide the future of the kingdom.

Wouldn't that be better? ”

As if poked at a pain point, the faces of several grand dukes suddenly changed.

Robin's gaze swept lightly over several archdukes, and they only lowered their faces and did not respond.

"Why don't you accept it, because even if you join forces, you can't overthrow Olivia, or—"

The corners of Robin's mouth rose slightly, and he said word by word, "Actually, the so-called blood oath is just a lie used to deceive me?" ”

It was then that the youngest Grand Duke Matilda's hand, holding the mermaid's tears, trembled slightly.

"That's right?" Robin chuckled softly, "Since I don't know much about magic, you could have said that the consequences of breaking the Blood Oath are particularly serious. A magical curse that costs death or even the destruction of blood, who would dare to test with their lives whether it is real?

And once this contract is signed today, I will be tied to your interests, and everything that is said at this meeting will rot in the stomach, and no one else will know.

Then there will be no one who can really help me unravel the lies of the Blood Pact. “

Bang Bang Bang ......

Robin clapped alone.

The applause was clearly audible in the room.

"That's amazing......"

"Nope. Lord Robin. Mattida lowered her eyes and shook her head, "The Blood Oath is real. It's just a terrible curse that only vampires know...... However, as you said, the oath-takers of the Western Continent never dared to break the [Blood Oath] that I don't know if it was true or not, so ......"

"So you can't make an agreement, and you can only trick me into making me the center of your interests?"

Robin threw his head back and let out a sneer, "Ha, that's ridiculous. How is it possible for human hearts to be united in such a simple way? ”

Yes, didn't this seemingly close-knit group of grand dukes also fall apart in an instant just now?

It's just because of mutual distrust and fear of damage to their own interests.

He smiled mockingly in his heart, if they were really monolithic, then King Olivia would not have been as powerful as he is today.

It's a pity that these people still can't see through this.

The face of the Divine Envoy Calista came to his brain—

[No matter how the surrounding situation changes, how complicated their battle is, how many conspiracies and tricks are hidden in the open and covert, to deal with these, there is a method that will always work-

Improve your strength. 】

Once again, Robin raised his awareness of what she had said.

Improving strength, not only the magic combat ability, the pooling power of the temple, but also-

Wisdom.

Distinguish the true from the false, see through the scheme, and respond to changes......

Robin's back was already oozing cold sweat.

In retrospect, if he had agreed to the [temptation] thrown by the Grand Dukes, he might have been doomed a long time ago.

That blood oath will also be a shackle around his neck forever.

"I now kind of understand why Mattida pulled you into some mysterious deal." Aojia smiled slightly, "You are more sensitive and intelligent than I thought. Lord Robin, I have to say that you are an admirable Chosen One.

If you choose to work with me, I believe we can create a stronger and better future. “

"But if you're on the opposite side of us—"

Aojia raised her slender and slender fingers and held her forehead, her brows furrowed slightly.

"That's a bit of a headache."

She stood up, slowly moved behind Mattida, and put a hand on Archduke Lori's shoulder.

"I have some admiration for your vision now."

"But—" Olga smiled like a viper, "now it's time to give him that bottle." Even if the Blood Oath is fake, at least merfolk tears are real, right? ”

"Good. Good. ”

Matilda's voice trembled slightly.

It could be seen that the little girl was very afraid of Aojia.

Robin frowned, he had the impression that Mattida had never been so afraid of the king.

The small, white and slender hand held the blue bottle and handed it to Robin, the liquid in it shining with azure light.

"So do you drink it yourself or do we help you?" Aojia smiled slightly.

That face was flawless, like a goddess.

But with an inexplicable chill, people can't help but tremble.

Robin let out a cold snort.

It's ridiculous, the more beautiful it is, the more vicious it is.

"No need." Robin reached out and grabbed the blue glass bottle.

His fingers touched Matilda's palm, and it was cold in his hand.

This guy ......

It was then that Robin caught a glimpse of Matilda's expression.

The little girl winked at him with wide eyes.

His heart suddenly moved.

……

The blink rate just now was noticeably unnatural.

A signal.

But Robin didn't know what it meant.

"So how much should I drink?" Robin picked up the small glass bottle with his index finger and thumb, and dangled it in the air.

His vision blurred, sucked in by the blue light in it.

I have to say that this thing called mermaid tears is really good-looking.

"No, don't drink too much." Mattida nervously reminded, "Just drink one or two drops, mermaid tears are very effective, the more you drink, the more you forget, if you drink them all, you will forget everything that has happened, where it came from, what you have experienced in Bright Moon City, and even who you are." ”

Robin was slightly stunned.

Mermaid tears are so terrible, no, such an amazing thing?

On the flip side, though, sometimes it's not a good thing to forget everything.

"After you drink the mermaid's tears, you will fall into a deep sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you will forget everything that happened today." Matilda emphasized.

Fall into a deep sleep.

Robin nodded, presumably expecting what was to come.

He gently unscrewed the cap and raised it to his lips.

A faint fragrance emanates from the inside.

It's like a nice perfume smell.
