Chelsea felt innocent.

At this moment, she was uncomfortably in a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, as if it had become difficult to breathe.

In front of her, Javier and Estes sat opposite each other at a long table, looking at each other, obviously not saying anything, but as if there were thousands of blades fighting countless times at this moment, I couldn't tell whether it was aura or something powerful pressing towards Chelsea's side.

She felt like she was facing a lion and a tiger, in a state of imminent battle, staring at each other as if she was about to attack in the next second, and she was an unlucky rabbit who was accidentally caught up in the battle of carnivorous creatures, which was almost fatal.

Why did it become the way it is? It all has to start from the beginning.

This morning, Chelsea came to Javier's office as usual, helping with some trivial military housekeeping.

Now the scale of the coalition army has become larger and larger, and new sources of troops are constantly joining in, so the affairs are becoming more and more numerous, Arowen, Lan and others have their own tasks, and in the case of lack of manpower, even Chelsea, who is usually idle, was pulled out by Javier as a strong man and took up logistics copywriting and other work.

It was an ordinary daily life without any surprise, but with the sudden arrival of Estes, this calm rippled like the surface of a lake shattered by stones.

The Combine Army from the West had arrived in Changle City last night, and Governor Spark did not dare to slack off, and arranged another suitable garrison for Estes.

Estes set up the troops who had traveled long distances overnight, and then broke into Javier's office without any communication.

At the moment when she saw Estes, although Chelsea had been mentally prepared, she still subconsciously felt a sense of weakness for some reason, and she originally planned to slip away directly, but after thinking about it, would it be too deliberate to do so? So he bowed to Estes, and then pretended to be calm to make tea for the two of them.

When she came back with the tea tray, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be a little wrong, in her imagination, the two had not seen each other for many days, and now it should be a long time to reunite.

It's no wonder that Chelsea is so confused, although she is a smart girl herself, but the pattern is still a little lacking, and many key information points have not been accurately grasped, so it is naturally impossible to think that the tragedy of the fall of the imperial capital a few months ago, Estes in front of her is the most hidden behind it.

However, Chelsea's intuition vaguely told her that if she intervened between these two people at this moment, something very bad would definitely happen, and it was better to slip away as soon as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Chelsea forced herself under pressure, stepped forward, placed a cup of tea on their table, then said hello to Javier, and ran away, as if she would be swallowed up by something if she stayed here any longer.

At this time, Estes tilted his head slightly, and looked at the back of the distant girl with a strange look in his eyes, thoughtful.

Although it was only a brief exchange, she always felt that the atmosphere between Chelsea and Javier had changed subtly, delusion?

In the silence, Javier's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Estes' wandering thoughts.

“…… I'll give you a chance to defend yourself, and if you say it's just your unintentional mistake, I can assume that I've thought too much about it. ”

His voice was a little low, and he didn't know what kind of psychology he would say such a thing that even he didn't believe, but maybe there was indeed a trace of luck in his heart, or maybe he just didn't want to pierce this cruel truth, as long as Estes denied it, even if it was self-deception, he wanted to make this matter shallow, blurred, and rotten in his heart, and he was eager to be deceived at this time.

However, a woman like Estes will not be controlled at all, even if she has actually seen Javier's intentions, but she is still the same, and it has never been with her to dare to do such a thing.

I saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and such a provocative expression appeared on her face, but it was full of an indescribable magical sexiness.

"Now, what difference does it make if you admit it or not? Didn't you already have the answer? I knew I couldn't hide it from you. ”

"Yes, there is no point in whitewashing things that already know the answer...... "Javier closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, they were as sharp as a sword, and he stared at Estes coldly, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Whatever a person does, he should have a purpose in mind, and Estes is no exception, he wants to know Estes's true motives.

Estes smiled when he heard this, with a demonic expression, "Because it's going to be fun......"

Javier's eyebrows tightened, and his voice was so cold that it almost made people frostbitten, "One of your decisions has killed so many people, and now you actually tell me that it's just because it's funny?" ”

"Of course it's more than that," Estes continued, not caring about Javier's attitude, "You once told me that your dream is to protect the empire and end the war, and in fact you have been working hard and practicing for it, but in my eyes as a bystander, I only feel that you are tied hand and foot by the identity of a guardian, and you are shackled, and your life is tired and difficult...... So I've decided to push you from behind to free you from your position as Guardian and become the Lord of the Empire, and I want to see you like that, and then witness your next path. ”

Javier's fists clenched suddenly, and then slowly released, he didn't expect that Estes's motive was largely because of himself, without asking his opinion, so he made a decision for him as a matter of course, so that he didn't even have time to think and hesitate, and when he came back to his senses, he had already embarked on the road of no return, this woman, really......

There was a kind of powerlessness in Javier's voice that was seen through, "Why did you want to do that for this kind of thing?" ”

"It's just a small sacrifice, there is nothing in this world that can be done without sacrifice, and the fundamental reason why those people die on the battlefield is because they are too weak, who can blame them?" Estes casually picked up the teacup on the table, gently shook the tea in the cup, and then raised his gaze, "Javier, you are actually very similar to me in nature, both are natural hunters, more suitable for hunting beasts in the hunting ground than to be that ridiculous guardian, I believe you should be aware of it yourself, right?" If you can understand this, why should you work hard to suppress yourself and be honest with your heart and nature? ”

"Shut up!"

As if angered by Estes's words, Javier slammed his fist on the table between the two of them, and the square table made of solid wood suddenly fell apart under the strong force, and Javier's forehead was bruised, and he was a rare emotional outburst.

Estes calmly drank the tea still in his hand, and the smile in his eyes was intoxicating, "Why are you so excited, isn't what I said the truth?" Feel free to point out something wrong. ”

She was answered by a sudden-stabbed riding spear, the tip of which came to a thrilling stop on Estes's white neck, piercing a little of the skin, and a little drop of blood running down her neck.

Javier had murderous intent in his eyes, his expression had never been so angry and cold, "Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now and make you pay for what you've done?" Now that the coalition situation has been completed, even without you, I can defeat the revolutionary army with the strength in my hands! ”

Death is so imminent, there is probably only Javier in the world who dares to put a blade on Estes's neck, but the woman did not show a defensive posture at all, but her expression relaxed and slowly spread her hands.

"If that's your decision, then you do it, and I promise I won't resist...... Anyway, for me, whether it is dying on the battlefield as a warrior or dying at your hands, it is not a bad ending. ”

In the silence that followed for more than a minute, Javier's expression changed several times, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes hideous, and his arm holding the gun kept shaking, but he still couldn't stab the deadly shot.

Mr. Jolly, General Budd, Andrey, Enoch, Salef, and even Spiya...... So many beloved people, acquaintances, and even those close to him had lost their lives to Estes's wayward actions, and it was reasonable that he should have stabbed his enemies, but when the time came, he realized how difficult it was to make such a decision.

Not to mention doing it, just imagining that he would lose her in the future of his life, Javier felt extremely frightened.

At this moment, he finally realized that the status of this woman in his mind was much more important and irreplaceable than everyone else, even more than the Empire.

The person you like does something bad, no matter how angry you are, I believe that most people's next actions will never be to kill their relatives in righteousness, but will choose to become an accomplice, and the funny thing is that Javier found himself to be part of the majority.

Sighing secretly, Javier silently withdrew his riding gun, and then threw it to the side in a venting manner, only to hear a boom, and the flying riding gun smashed a huge hole in the wall on the right side of the office, and for a while the masonry flew and the smoke and dust dispersed.

Seeing Javier behave like this, the smile on Estes's face became more and more intoxicating, and those who were favored were emboldened, although this was a bard's cliché, but it was not without reason.

Javier gave Estes a cold look, then walked out of the house, "You win, Estes...... All the mistakes happen because of my arrogance and incompetence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have suffered the consequences, and in this case, I will share for you half of all the sins you have committed, both in the past and in the future, and this is the punishment I deserve. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and without looking back, "After defeating the revolutionary army, I will build a new empire and then ascend the throne as emperor, but the one who is about to become the queen ...... It won't be you. ”

Everyone who does something wrong will inevitably be punished accordingly, this is true of Javier, and the same is true of Estes, and the cause and effect of the fall of the imperial capital are facts that are in front of us and cannot be obscured in the past, and it is impossible for Javier to act as if nothing happened.

Whether directly or indirectly, Estes killed so many of Javier's comrades, and it was a bone rift that once again separated the distance between the two, and perhaps for the rest of his life, he would never be able to cross the past.

For Estes, Javier can't kill her, but he can't marry her, he won't forgive her, but he still likes her like a demon, and such an entangled relationship will probably torment these two people for a long time, ten years, twenty years...... Lifetime.

Javier knows that he has fallen into a demonic situation, like a victim in an endless ocean, unable to save himself, but what can he do, life always has many last resorts.

Estes took a deep look at Javier's back, and instantly understood Javier's intentions, and understood that this was his final decision, so he pouted and said: "I'm not interested in being the queen in the first place, it will only prevent me from fully enjoying the war, this position, you can give it to whoever you want, as long as your heart has always belonged to me, the rest doesn't matter......" She paused, "But I'm a little curious, who is the queen in your mouth, I guess...... Could it be Chelsea? ”

Javier was silent for a while, and finally just shook off his sentence, "This is my decision to make, and it has nothing to do with you." He didn't look back, just kept going, "You want chaos, you want war, I can satisfy you...... From now on, you are my sword, and I will kill whoever I ask you to kill, until there is no more enemy of the empire in this world, and until you don't want to raise your sword in your life, and I will accompany you to the end. ”

As the end of the sentence fell, Javier gradually disappeared from Estes's field of vision, and the woman did not speak again, but sat silently for a long time, bowing her eyebrows and thinking lightly, no one knew what she was thinking.
