Chapter 192: The struggle for power hidden in the shadows

The Sword of Pain contains the resentment and pain of the people of Bretonnia for thousands of years, and the things conveyed in these thoughts make Gilles feel sad, because more than half of these resentments are caused by Bretonnia's seemingly just system, and this system was created by Gilles, his original intention was good, but with the passage of time this system is no longer suitable for the situation created at the beginning, but unfortunately no one dares to question it, even if it is changed, it is in the direction of the ruler's power, So the system has become deformed, and it has become no longer a place for people to feel happy and safe, but only shackles, exploitation and cruelty.

Gilles was basically free to enter and leave the space where he was born eight hundred thousand years ago, but with the arrival of a peaceful environment, he was restricted more and more, until he could no longer appear in this world, according to the contract, only the king whom people loved and admired could appear when Gilles could appear when the ruler was basically killed in battle and began to designate the future king, at first he was puzzled, and then the resentment that followed was more and more, and more and more formed a sword when Gilles began to wake up, he began to listen to the voice in the sword, He began to regret the draconian system he had set, but all of this could not be changed for the time being, until a man named Lorne-Leole Cornwall drank the Holy Grail Potion and was elected king that Gilles felt that the barrier between the two worlds was beginning to disappear.

He really wanted to see what this young king looked like, Gilles hugged him, told the world how good King Lawne was, but one day, he suddenly heard King Lawne's confession in the sword, which made Gilles feel very incredible, because Lawne is a believer in the lake god fairy, otherwise he would not be given the Holy Grail Potion, but now he actually confessed to himself, repenting that he had no way to change the decay of the country, and he had no ability to shake the dominance of the Lake God Fairy Sect, which was obviously a country established by knights, But now the coronation requires the consent of the nymph of the lake, which is an insult to the heroes who once founded this country.

In the sword, Gilles felt Lawn's anger and unwillingness, and also knew that in order to change these things, he must first destroy the religious power that had overridden the imperial power, he angered his youngest son Charlie in the rebellious period, let him stay away from this rotten country, secretly cultivated his own strength, gathered the Pegasus knights and the eagle knights who trusted him with royal gifts, and formed the Royal Pegasus Knights and the Royal Horned Eagle Knights, and at the same time actively diplomacy and established good credit.

Everything was going well, but one day when Gilles was listening to the sound of the Sword of Pain, a loud voice came from it, Gilles had never heard such remorse, and the Lake Fairy used the life of her family and the Holy Grail Elixir to seduce a Pegasus Knight who was loyal to Raun and held a high position.

They secretly slandered Lawn, and even allowed the beastmen to plunder from south to north, disrupt trade, and kill emissaries, and later the empire was divided and the situation on the continent was unstable, which led to Lawn's iron-blooded rule again, which made all his previous preparations undone. In the end, the Beastmen launched a subversive plan, and the whole city of Cologne was chaotic, and countless soldiers, including himself, were all controlled by the Apocalypse Totem, but Gilles appeared in front of Lawn, who thought he had eliminated the Red Duke and was recuperating in his bedroom. Outside his room, Marago and Kazak were slaughtering his uncontrolled family and palace guards, and Gilles regained Raun's sanity and heard Kazak outside the door boasting about their plan to turn Raun into a puppet and attack Carcassonne.

Gilles just wanted to go out to destroy these two miscellaneous pieces but was stopped by Lawn, he said that after he saw His Majesty, he knew that Bretonnia would not be exterminated, he recommended his son Charlie like Gilles, he was the only one who has been living outside the system, he knows the world better than his other sons, so he implored Gilles not to stop the killing outside, and he himself was determined to destroy Carcassonne, as long as the Lake Fairy Cult is not eliminated for a day, the king's right to speak in Bretonia will always be reduced, for which he is willing to be controlled.

This was the first time Gilles saw Lawne, and it was also the last time, he hid in the shadows, watching how Lawne's heart was pulled out and then replaced with the heart of a beast, and how he used an apocalypse totem specially prepared for him to control him and bring him back to his senses, until Lawne boarded the ship with the remaining controlled soldiers in the city, and Gilles returned to his space.

A thousand years of time had long since made him pampered, but Lawn's behavior still shocked him, and he would rather have his whole family slaughtered than gain the trust of the beastmen so that they could successfully complete the set plan, and Lawn gave up everything for the sake of the country, and even his qualifications to be a human were given up by him. Gilles knew that Lawn's soul was completely dominated by the beast's heart, and that he would become manic, bloodthirsty, and murderous, the exact opposite of the Lawne he knew.

After Gilles returned to the space, he knew that he could enter and leave this space at will after choosing the future king of Bretonnia, so he had been watching Charlie secretly, but in addition to disappointment, it was disappointment that Gilles nodded slightly until Charlie sacrificed his life to fight against Kazak and was burned half Gilles nodded slightly, wanting to break the current Bretonnia, bravery is the first element, and there is no way to break this shackle without the self-sacrificing self and fulfilling everyone's hearts.

And the Lake Fairy Sect, originally Gilles wanted to give them a chance, but after Charlie was injured, the Lake Fairy simply turned a blind eye, from Gilles coming out to beating the next two people, the Lake Fairy did not have any idea of wanting to save Charlie, the whole of Bretonnia has become such a mess, when the last successor of the Leo Cornwall family also died, then Bretonnia may never have the profession of king again in the future.

Gilles wanted to take revenge himself, but what could he do after he killed the fairy of the lake? The king can't do it, there will be the next lake fairy, and then one more will die, this can't solve the problem at all, and the only solution is to let a person who can deter the Cult of God to be the king, and now Bretonnia is the best situation to win people's hearts, although it seems that the Cult is leading now, but as long as he can get the support of the refugees in other countries, he can immediately equalize the score, and the rest is up to him.
