Chapter 337: Divergence of Opinions
Felik and Alyssa stood in the hallway, watching Doyle be shackled and taken away.
No one expected that Doyle would not put up any resistance.
This is unexpected, but it is also reasonable, and Doyle is no longer the careerist in the secret history of the royal family.
Doyle's imprisonment was also different from that of other prisoners, the guards followed him cautiously with awe, saying that they were escorts, but more like guards, while the people who heard the news stood quietly on both sides, with faint weeping.
Bag has announced Doyle's crime - betraying the empire and defecting to the demons.
But no one believed it, they trusted their emperor, but they also trusted the legend who had always lived with them, Doyle, the guardian of the empire, how could he betray the empire? Without her, the empire would have been ruined.
"Lord Doyle...... Woooooooo ”
An old woman, who was probably one of the people Doyle had saved, wept and wept.
"There's no way Doyle can betray us, she's been guarding the Empire!"
"Your Majesty must have been mistaken, right? The demigods, the gods, would never have taken refuge in the demons. ”
"Absolutely! We can't do that to Lord Doyle. ”
People on both sides of the street told their wishes, and Bag did not come out to clarify.
He has learned the truth about the secret history of the royal family from Alyssa, and now there is no need to keep this secret, because Doyle, who knows the truth, has also given up revenge on the empire.
But Bag still will not disclose the secret history, because the people of the empire need not a calculated villain, but a demigod who sincerely protects them and protects the empire with all his heart, and what the people need is not the truth, but a gentle lie.
Doyle's affair is over, but the incident is not over yet.
Gig was also caught because of Doyle, and Belina found an interesting spell on his key.
And this technique is exactly in line with the second spell seal on the treasure chest, Alyssa's key unlocks the first seal, the second seal is silent, and Belina's spell-breaking eye is helpless.
But when she saw Gig's key, she knew she could open the second seal.
"You mean, the spell on the key can open another seal on the chest?" Felik asked.
Belina nodded and replied, "Exactly." ”
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to unblock, obviously you couldn't see through it with your eyes to break the law at that time."
"Leader, this is also normal, although my eyes are special than ordinary spell-breaking eyes, but not all spells can be seen through, I can't see through every spell Doyle just cast, whether it's that illusion or teleportation technique, I have no clue at all."
"It seems that I can't rely too much on your eyes in the future." Felik sighed.
When Belina heard this, she smiled slyly, winked at Felik with one eye, and said in her words: "Even if I don't rely on my eyes, I still have a lot of places for the head of the regiment~~"
Felik's cheeks flushed, he coughed awkwardly, and urged: "Hurry up and open it, maybe the founding emperor left more than one last word." ”
"Yes!"
Then, when Belina inserted the key into the chest, the second seal was broken.
“……”
"Untied?"
"Uh...... Yes. ”
"Why didn't you respond?"
"I don't know, but the seals were indeed broken and all gone."
As a result, the seal disappeared, but nothing was gained, and in the end, they didn't know what the second seal was for......
At night, in the royal city, in the tea room specially used by Elbert to entertain VIPs, the harem group sat and chatted.
Sauron was almost dead because he was drained of his vitality by the actor, so he was recuperating from his injuries, and the other people ushered in a temporary peace after this short turmoil, and they were all embarrassed by the exposure of the secret history of the royal family.
Elbert also carefully arranged the seats for everyone according to his knowledge of their personalities, so that they would not be bored, except for Claudia, who did not come, Morte, Odelia, Afra, and Xavier sat together, while Elisa, Belina, and Felik sat with him.
The former group was not interested in politics and seemed to be more concerned with how to improve their power, and Sivir was supposed to sit here, but she seemed to want to get close to Odelia, and Felik had no problem with that.
Felik stared at the mist rising from the teacup in front of him, the clear red tea reflecting his face.
Listening to the people around him discuss Doyle's affairs, Felik also had some thoughts in his heart.
"I didn't expect Doyle to have such a past." Elbert sighed.
But Doyle just wanted to get back to her past, and after she learned the truth, she didn't do anything to resist, but chose to be captured, obviously Doyle didn't mean to betray the Empire. Is it really good to get her in like this? Belina said casually.
Elbert touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid it's a death sentence." ”
"Is that really the case? To the detriment of the Empire is Doyle, who is now only interested in the Empire. ”
"But she also admitted the crime of assisting the demon king to destroy the imperial capital, this act alone almost caused the empire to collapse, even if she didn't count her various rebellious actions before her amnesia, just the incident of destroying the imperial capital, there is definitely only the death penalty to go." Elbert said.
Hearing this, Felik raised his head: "But Elbert, don't you think it's better for the empire to keep Doyle alive?" ”
Felik's sudden question stunned Elbert, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"If you look to the future, Doyle can do the same as before, to assist the king in governing the country, it will be of great benefit to the development of the empire, which is definitely more cost-effective than executing her now, besides, the imperial capital has been destroyed, and there is nothing to make up for by executing her now.
It seems that the king did not intend to make Doyle's crimes public for the time being, but it was necessary to do so if he was to be put to death. Once it is made public, the spirit of the people will be hit like never before, after all, the demigods will betray, who else can't betray?
The only good thing is probably that the royal family will not have to be crushed on the head by a Doyle who may regain his rebellious heart, and he will not have to worry about it all day long. ”
Felik's words, though a little harsh and with a hint of irony, were true.
"But Doyle did destroy the imperial capital, and the law does not allow exceptions." Elbert said.
Felik shook his head: "Elbert, don't take that statement seriously, it is used to stabilize the people's hearts, you are destined to sit on the throne in the future, it is better not to be too upright, use absolutely rational thinking to consider the pros and cons of one thing, and make the best choice for your own people, this is what a king should do." ”
Elbert shook his head in displeasure, not knowing whether he didn't want to continue the conversation or if he didn't agree with Felik.
"Felik, you mean you want Doyle to live?" Alyssa asked.
"It's not for me to decide, I just think you should think more deeply about this matter, in my opinion, there is only one way to go in this matter."
As he spoke, Felik stabbed a fork into the snack in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.
