Chapter 60: Light and Shadow

"Nope."

Lorel shook his head.

The Lone Moon Knife in her hand deflected the moonlight to the ground, leaving a mottled shadow of light.

"I've never changed my loyalty to Lord Olga and to the Holy Beta Leader."

The corners of Lorel's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened.

That's when Robin saw a look in his eyes.

Like moonlight.

Bright and firm.

"Yes, my life has been Aojia's for a long time ago." Rorel smiled faintly, "Although she is so changeable, in the eyes of her opponents, Lord Olga is cold and deadly threatening. In the eyes of the bards and the populace, Lord Oka was elegant, beautiful, and extremely talented. But, I've always felt that that's what you see. In the depths of my heart, Lord Oka is a gentle, sincere man of the kingdom, and a wise man of great talent. ”

Rorel showed a lonely expression, "If it weren't for fate, she would have been the master of the kingdom." ”

"Then why ......"

Robin looked at her quizzically.

Now the lonely expression on Rorel's face is not pretended.

And what she just said was not a lie.

This made Robin feel a little relieved, at least Rorel, who was standing in front of him, still retained the loyalty of a knight.

The kind of chivalry that is talked about makes him see a glimmer of light.

But why would such a Lorel betray Olga and help kill Shalom of Archduke Olga?

Once he thought about it, the thought that Rorel was helping Shalom with the loyalty of a knight made Robin feel a little scared.

If it's just interests, then the Lorel in front of him is not so difficult to deal with.

Anything Shalom promised, he believed, could do with the strength of the temple, and give more.

But if something else pushes her to Shalom and makes her stand here, the situation becomes extremely tricky......

One heart needs to be exchanged for another.

The oath of blood and blood cannot tolerate the betrayal of interests.

"After talking to Lord Sharom, I understand something."

It was then that Rorel looked up.

Her gaze was cold, like a sharp sword.

Robin's body shook slightly.

"What?"

Robin took a deep breath and tried to calm the emotions in his chest.

But the ominous premonition just now became even stronger.

Feelings of unease.

"Lord Shalom and Lord Oga are close friends who grew up together.

Perhaps, for Lord Shalom, the haughty Duke of Olga was always full of contempt for her. But in fact, deep down, she is full of gratitude and cherishment for Aojia. The intimacy of growing up together is not fake. Even if the Duke of Olga was finally killed by the Grand Duke of Shalom, I have no doubt about it. ”

"I don't understand."

Robin shook his head, his eyes full of mist.

What kind of fallacy is this, killing their own masters, and saying that they are intimate.

"The Duke of Shalom is completely inferior to the Duke of Oga in terms of appearance, territorial governance, and diplomatic and theatrical talents, except for his military strength."

Rorel smiled and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"It's like this moonshine. Archduke Olga was destined to be a light from birth, and the Duke of Shalom was destined to be only her shadow. ”

"The light, the light of the Grand Duke of Olga overshadowed everything, and the Duke of Shalom made a lot of effort and cost to chase her.

However, in reality, light and shadow are inseparable, and she depends on Aojia as much as Aojia needs her. ”

"So what?"

Robin stared at Rorel, frowning, pondering what she had said.

"I don't dare to say whether Lord Shalom did this out of a long-suppressed outburst, or because she wanted to protect the Holy Betta Territory, at least when she launched this rebellion, because she cut off Olgar's head, she completely pushed Lord Olga out of the [rebels'] camp."

Hearing what Rorel said, Robin's expression changed slightly.

She continued, "If this rebellion fails, and Lord Shalom gambles that nothing has killed His Majesty, then at least at the end of the sentence, Lord Ogya's sacrifice will keep the Holy Beta unharmed.

This is not necessarily the case with the other Grand Dukes. ”

"So, you want to help Shalom because you are grateful for her [kindness] to Saint Beta Collar?"

Robin emphasized the word favor, reminding Rorel not to forget who had beheaded Olga and who had started the rebellion, pushing all the Grand Dukes, Bright Moon City, and the entire kingdom into an extremely dangerous situation.

Lorel wasn't stupid, and she immediately picked up the sarcasm in Robin's words.

"No," the mighty warrior of the Saint Beta Lord's loyal guardian and one of the Four Horsemen of the Kingdom shook his head slowly, rejecting Robin's statement.

"As I said before, Lord Oga and Lord Shalom are close companions who have grown up together, and they are beings of light and shadow. In a way, they are very much like each other in their hearts. ”

Like each other?

Robin recalled the Duke of Olga he had seen before, arrogant and arrogant, and the quiet and introverted Duke of Shalom was like two people.

"How is this possible? Light and shadow are opposites in themselves, right? Robin pouted.

"Yes, but it's also an indivisible whole. Maybe even they don't realize this, but deep down, how similar they are. Rorel let out a sighing laugh, "They are all people who will do whatever it takes, even their own people, for their own ideals, for their own people and land." ”

"Haha, sacrifice ......" Robin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't deceive yourself, it's just to satisfy your own self-esteem and interests." ”

"Say whatever you want. But......" Lorrell smiled calmly, "this is what I have understood since I caught up with Grand Duke Shalom, and what she is doing is actually perpetuating the ideals and will of Lord Olja.

On more than one occasion, the Grand Duke of Olga sighed in private, believing that according to the policies and means of King Olivia, the rights of the Grand Dukes, including the lords of the entire kingdom, would become a bubble in the history of Itnell and disappear into the long river of history.

Eventually, power will be in the hands of the king, and the title of duke will become a pure title. ”

Rorel reached out with his left hand and grabbed the short hair in front of his forehead.

"I don't know much about the esoteric stuff, but I love life and what I've been through. I don't want all of this to be a vanishing thing that Grand Duke Olga said he would call a vanishing past.

Moreover, I always have a hunch that this change will completely change the entire kingdom and put Itnell in a catastrophe from which it will never recover. ”

Lorel waved the Lone Moon Knife in his hand and placed it on his left arm.

"So, that's why I think that Lord Shalom and Lord Oga are on the same page, and that's why I'm standing here."
