Chapter 12: The Wall of Humanity (End)
The white bandage wrapped around his cheek in the roughest way, the hateful eyes revealed a bright red gaze, and the gentle man twisted and roared, and he could not find his original face for a long time.
"Hate? That's right, for the consequences caused by their own mistakes and miscalculations, people should learn to hate, only in this way can they firmly remember the lessons and become better people. ”
"But, don't be angry no matter what, anger will eat away at your reason, confuse your judgment, and end up in the next trap."
"Just like now..."
…
The inside and outside of the solemn palace have become extremely tense today because of a popular uprising.
For a royal family with superior forces, a rebellion caused by a mob was not a big deal.
For heavily armed troops, refugees with rudimentary equipment are unlikely to pose a threat at all.
But in this special period, now that the city gate has been opened, the spread of the epidemic is the big stone in the hearts of all of you... Even if they have achieved a high position, everyone still breathes the same air, and if Douglas's previous statement is true, the royal family is not willing to let the virus spread to their homes!
"Quick! Send someone to intercept the victims! In any case, we can't let them continue to run around the city! ”
"Shoot! There's no way to do some damage if you need to! ”
"That's right! Hurry up! ”
It was the first time that the high-ranking people, who had upheld elegance and nature, faced a real threat to their lives, and at this time, they didn't care about any aristocratic temperament, and they were like a group of beasts that chose people to devour.
However, just before the military order was about to be issued in Mengsk, the door of the council hall was pushed open by the young civil servant.
This time, Douglas didn't bother with the waiter's guidance, and behind him, Miss Lily didn't hold the folder that she kept with her.
- Those flying pieces of paper are like angel feathers, scattered inside the castle!
But what makes people shudder is that the "feathers" that appear in front of the royal family at this moment are not white, but many of them are stained with an ominous red!
Mengsk: "Douglas? What are you doing! Guardsman! Guards! ”
"No need to call Your Majesty, they can't hear me."
There seemed to be some helplessness in Douglas's tone, but he wasn't finished yet.
"Do you know the news that the rebels have invaded the city under the leadership of the Thirteen Princes?"
Mengsk: "What do you mean by that?" ”
"Heh, why do you think a group of untrained civilians can be so powerful that they rush to the strict defense of the army all the way? Why do you think the strong gates are open for refugees at a critical moment? ”
“…”
Facing Douglas approaching step by step, Mengsk seemed to vaguely understand what the other party meant, his fingers tightly clasped the throne, and almost twisted two words squeezed out from between his teeth.
"It's you!"
"Correct."
"Why! You are also an official of the world government, why help those mobs!? ”
"I'm not helping them, I'm just destroying the Snoopy."
"We are obviously innocent and innocent!"
"No grievances? No, no, no, no, how can it be innocent and hateless... Do you remember the daughter of the previous Chancellor of the Exchequer? The one who had an affair with your brother. ”
Douglas stood in front of Mengsk and pressed his hand on his shoulder.
His voice seemed to have some kind of magic, bringing back the past in front of him.
"You weren't a king then, and your brother ruled the country, but it's clear that you were better at the battle for power, and you ended up taking over the entire kingdom of Snoopy in a bloody coup."
"This is not something unspeakable, in fact, from the perspective of the person concerned, the deeds related to the seizure of power can even be regarded as your medal. You succeeded in ascending to the throne, revised the history books, and then also carried out a large-scale purge of the heirs of the previous kings, everything was very well thought out ... Unfortunately, you haven't done it thoroughly enough. ”
Douglas bent down, almost face to face, and gave Monsk an eerie smile.
"You wouldn't have guessed that the illegitimate son of the king was still alive all along, did you? That kid named Simon, that kind but somewhat weak kid grew up alone in the slums of Crescent Island, in pain, struggling, but couldn't even scream..."
"Until some coincidence he became my family."
His voice grew softer and softer, but it fell more and more clearly in Mengsk's ears ... His Majesty found that all the relatives who had been making all sorts of noises out of fear had not moved.
He glanced around with his peripheral vision, only to find that everyone in the council hall had been wrapped in pieces of paper into strange paper chrysalis, and could not even pronounce a syllable except for a slight tremble.
Mengsk: "Mix... Bastard! Are you going to help him get revenge!? What does this have to do with you! Let me go! Otherwise, I'll contact your superiors right away and let this secret come to light! You..."
His Majesty shouted fiercely, but Douglas's playful smile remained the same, and Mengsk realized that the young man in front of him was not the kind of boring villain who wasted his time chattering in front of his opponents.
- The reason why he told himself this was to appreciate this fear reaction, and he saw this process as part of revenge!
And what about Mengsk himself?
At this moment, his body was also restrained by Lily's manipulation of the piece of paper - he seemed to be wearing a paper armor with no joints moving, only the part above the neck could barely turn.
He cursed and cursed angrily, but in the end, under the close gaze of the young man, he finally relieved himself of all the dignity of a king, and wept bitterly and begged for forgiveness.
Then, under Mengsk's horrified gaze, a contented Douglas drew several short swords from the hat in his hand like a magician, and then stabbed them gently into his body inch by inch, one by one.
… The piece of paper covered his mouth in time, so that he could not even scream.
…
"Tell me Your Majesty, do you know it's wrong?"
