"There are three kingdoms in the Western Continent." Jessie explains, "Iternaire, Secorid, and López, for thousands of years, there has been a constant war. The relationship between the two is very delicate, and any one thing has the potential to trigger the sensitive and fragile nerves of the other side, which can lead to war.

For example, the assassination of Saiya this time.

Think about it, what would have happened if no one knew that the person who assassinated Saiya was a blasphemous? “

What will happen?

Robin put his hand on his chin and thought along with the guidance she had given him.

"First of all, as the master, our vice-priest is assassinated on their land, and they must be to blame." Robin frowned, he had thought a lot about this before.

As the owner, Sekered failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect, and this incident will be used as a bargaining chip for Itney in the future.

"Second, López would enter Itnell's suspicion as the initiator of a plot to stir up disputes.

Then in this way, inevitably, there will be a war, and the initiative is in our hands.

But at any time, any war inevitably consumes each other.

This is what the blasphemers want to see, and they can indirectly pave the way for blasphemy in the future, at almost no cost. ”

A war that took place in advance and without gunpowder.

It's just a piece of laying out and pushing one of them.

How terrible.

Robin's breathing seemed to suffocate.

The palms of his hands were already full of sweat.

"So, am I saying that?" He looked up at Jeong, like a student looking for the correct answer from a teacher after an exam.

"It's close. Clever Lord Robin. Jeongsie smiled politely, "However, there are two points that I can point out to you."

First, we seem to have the initiative. Actually, no. “

"Why?" Robin blurted out.

This was something he had never imagined.

Itneyel's lieutenant was assassinated, and before the killer was identified, Itney should have all the initiative.

There is no reason why I have lost an important pillar and remain passive.

Jiexi frowned slightly, "If the deputy priest is killed, he will be shouted by the grand duke and the people in the country and pushed to a terrible situation." Even if His Majesty were to settle the matter, this disgrace would stir up the discontent of every Itner.

God's power is far greater than we think, it is an untouchable supreme thing rooted in everyone's heart, and the death of the deputy priest as God's spokesman will be seen as a disgrace to all.

God will be ashamed.

Shame on the country.

Because of the hearts and minds of the people, His Majesty will have to wage this war. “

Jiexi sighed softly and said silently in her heart-

Just like sixteen years ago.

I see......

Robin froze, thinking carefully about what she had said.

So the royal power is not absolutely supreme.

Is that so?

And the power of the Grand Dukes and the people revealed in her words......

The king does not have all the say.

Is that so?

The power of God is what makes all the people and armies restless, and for whom war can be waged and sacrificed.

Is that so?

Robin's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Second, it would be extremely unwise to provoke a war between Secoride and López at the same time. Our national strength is not enough to support a two-front war. Therefore, even if it is in line with the will of the people, one can only choose one of the enemies carefully. The corners of Jiexi's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile, "So, Saiya's death has given us a choice to some extent."

It's just that what we need to pick is whether the target of the war is Secoride or López, which one will cost less and get enough benefits. ”

At this point, Robin has understood-

When Saiya died on the land of Sekhred, it didn't really matter what the truth was.

In the end, it is none other than the hearts of the people and the interests of the kingdom that determine the truth.

But......

There are still people who care about the truth.

Like him.

Robin.

"But I know the truth, the blasphemer killed Saiya." He shook his head, "I saw it with my own eyes, and Ireen admitted it with my own mouth. ”

Robin raised his head, his eyes shining, "The murderers, the blasphemers, should be brought to justice, not provoked a war." ”

"No, Lord Robin. The world only believes what they want to believe. Even if the truth is so, the people of Itnair will not accept it, you try to imagine if it were you, would you accept it? The blasphemer killed Saiya, and the people of Sekorid didn't have to pay anything for it. ”

Robin closed his eyes, trying to calm the anger inside.

How stupid, and how direct.

In the final analysis, the price that people want has to be recovered from two hostile countries.

"And, even if you hear Erin admit it with your own ears," the corners of Jeeki's mouth rose slightly, "but, is that really the case?" ”

"What?"

Robin's eyes widened in surprise, startled by her words.

To be precise, Jiexi's words hit the most vulnerable place in his heart.

He suddenly remembered what Heloise had said to her earlier—

Use your own eyes, your own hands, and your own wisdom to find the truth.

The truth......

Falsehood......

"Eileen said those words with a determination to die, and she had no reason to lie...... "Robin was like a man about to drown, desperately grasping at the last straw.

There has to be something, something real, a real clue for him to find the truth.

Otherwise......

How dark should the world be?

"But it is the lies made up by those who are determined to die that are the most terrible." Jeongie wasn't going to save him.

Perhaps it would be better for him to understand that this was the Chosen One.

After all, what he will have to shoulder in the future is more terrible than the current one.

Robin didn't speak, just silently tilted his head and took a deep breath.

How true are Eileen's words?

He recalled in his mind the determined expression on his face that had resolutely died.

I couldn't help but feel a slight pain in my heart.

Something that is better than life.

What will it be?

Irene had given him an answer before, and it was a child.

Now Jeeze reminds her that it could be a lie.

It's possible.

Nothing more.

"I see." He nodded.

However, I'll figure it out my own way.

Some things are clearly placed there.

Just find a way to get there.

It was at this moment that the light above his head shone on him, and a shocking firmness appeared in the eyes of the Chosen One.

Jeongsie looked at him in distraction.

It seemed that in an instant, the person in front of him suddenly grew up a lot.

"But, Lord Robin." She reached out and took Robin's hands back into her palms, "I promise, Itnair is definitely not a sludge to be trampled on, His Majesty is already plotting, and we will definitely make the blasphemer pay." ”

"Okay." Robin's eyes were cold, but his heart was ignited, "I believe in you, Jiexi." “

"No, you should believe Your Majesty, trust Itnell." She looked up and smiled.

The silvery white light in the sky illuminated her entire face.

Robin clearly saw the confidence in her country and the infinite adoration for His Majesty the King that came from between her eyebrows.

"We won't let you down."

She said.

The pink lips were engraved into Robin's heart, like a ray of moonlight.
