"Alyssa, you don't understand the current situation of the empire, do you understand how fierce the demon attack is now? Father has been defending against demons in the Northern Regions, and you won't know where the elongation of the battle line and the soldiers' rations came from.

If, as you said, it is really tax-free for a year, then the battle line in the Northern Regions will collapse, and the demons will take another city, do you understand?

You should have heard of the cruelty of the demons, the occupied places, the enslaved people, do you think it is possible to exchange the suffering of these people for the development of our empire? ”

Elbert said very seriously: "Alyssa, you don't understand anything! ”

"Brother Wang, but if the war continues, it will only bring pain to the people, the soldiers on the front line continue to exchange their lives for the balance of the war, and the people in the rear rely on suffering to maintain the continuation of the war, do you really think this is the right thing to do?"

"So it depends on the brave! If the brave can kill the Demon King, then the war will end! ”

"Brother Wang, the brave man is dead!"

"There will be new ones."

Elbert's answer was cold and cruel.

Alyssa had nothing to say, she knew she couldn't convince the other party, so she got up and walked out the door.

"Alyssa." Elbert, who was behind him, spoke again: "Although...... Although I don't agree with you, I'm glad you could discuss something with me like this, really, I never thought you could discuss something like this with me before.

That one...... What Brother Wang said just now is heavier, if you still have ideas in the future, feel free to come to me. ”

Alyssa turned her head in surprise to see Elbert sitting behind her desk smiling, fingers of both hands wringing and looking a little cramped.

Alyssa figured it out to each other, Brother Wang was very unapproachable before, and the impression of Brother Wang was gentle and kind, and he would agree to her no matter what, but at that time she always felt that his brother was so far away from her, although perfect, it seemed to be false.

But now it was different, what she felt just now was a real conversation with her brother, and the other party retorted to her without a trace of scruples, although it was infuriating, but it was very real.

Don't...... Because I died once, and my soul was impregnated with black magic and reduced to mortality, did I make the people around me lose their instinctive awe?

If that's the case, that's a good thing.

Compared with the noble lonely existence, Alyssa longs for herself to be an ordinary existence, at least so that she will not be lonely.

With a smile, Alyssa waved her hand.

"Then goodbye Brother Wang, I will come again, I ...... Will definitely convince you! ”

Like a bird, she flew briskly out of the study and ran towards her room.

Just around the corner, Alyssa meets Doyle head-on.

Doyle stood there, behind him Felik, who was firmly bound by a blue magical chain, Felik was covered in blood, and his severed right arm was firmly grasped by him on his left arm, looking very embarrassed, but his face was not painful, just an innocent expression.

The other one who was bound in magical chains was Afra, who had no scars on her body and looked as if she was asleep.

Felik looked up with difficulty and looked at Alyssa, an unknown light flashing in his eyes, as if trying to convey something, but Alyssa couldn't understand it at all.

What the hell is going on?

Why did Felik become like this?

Could it be that the truth has been discovered?

Thinking of this possibility, Alyssa's whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, her body stiffened, she was at a loss, and she even stammered a little when she spoke: "Lord Doyle, you ...... You're ......."

Doyle's face was expressionless, except for the eyes that were as cold as a deep winter well, which made people shudder, she was looking at herself with suspicion, and Alyssa could feel it.

"Your Highness, I'm just here to verify something." Doyle spoke indifferently.

She had to verify that what Jon said was true or false.

If Felik was a heretic, as Jon claimed, she would have dealt with it mercilessly.

Although she didn't want to believe it, Felik was indeed very suspicious, and in retrospect, when she first met the library, Felik gave her a rather strange feeling, not only did she not know the head of the seven gods of the king, but she didn't even understand a lot of common sense, as if she had never lived in the empire.

At that time, I was immediately attracted by Felik's novel insights about the Demon Realm, and I forgot about these suspicious things for a while, but now that I think about it, why would an ordinary adventurer know so much about the Demon Realm?

Even the great sage who has infiltrated the deepest part of the demon world does not know the secrets of the demon world, why is this young boy so clear?

It's like, it's like a demon!

Different from the religion of human beings, the beliefs of the demon race are highly unified, and they all believe in the god of darkness, and only when humans enter the Holy See and obtain the approval of the god of light, will their souls be engraved with the brand of the god of light.

And when the demon is born, the soul will be branded by the dark god, if it is a demon, then the soul test will definitely find the brand of the dark god.

But not long ago, Doyle had already tested Felik's soul with magic, and there was no imprint of the dark god, and Doyle didn't think that Felik had the strength to hide the brand, so his identity became more and more confusing.

As the strongest man in the empire, Doyle has the responsibility and obligation to eliminate all threats without leaving anything behind, and this matter must also be investigated.

"What are you verifying?" Alyssa calmed down a little.

"Your Highness, forgive me for taking the liberty of it."

Doyle bowed slightly to show respect, but the moment he raised his head, his tone suddenly became cold: "I want to ask, have you ever drunk blood?" ”

Goo.

It was the sound of her own saliva, and Alyssa didn't know if the other party heard it.

Alyssa broke out in a cold sweat and her mind went blank.

Who said it? No one will know about it!

Suddenly, Alyssa remembered an episode on the way to the city, and for a moment, she understood what the problem was.

It was Jonah and Bardy, who saw themselves drinking blood.

Looking at Alyssa's somewhat panicked eyes, Felik was a little worried, if Alyssa was really discovered, then he would definitely be finished, now he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to beat Duoyle, this woman was too strong!

"Nope!"

Even Felik didn't expect that Alyssa would answer so firmly.

But it is clear that determination alone will not make Doyle stop.

Sure enough, Doyle's expression did not change at all when he heard this, but he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Alyssa: "Then can I ask Your Highness to let me check it?" ”
