Chapter 153: Crime and Punishment

Under the circumstances, Clarence had no choice, if she left Phyllis in Demacia, she would only be executed for treason, but even if she was brought back to Noxus, what would be her fate? Even if her identity as a Demacian was discovered, it would be difficult for her to survive here, if her identity as a spy was discovered again...... It's just that compared to staying there, coming to Noxus can at least live incognito, and from this point of view, Clarence doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.

Merely...... Did Phyllis think the same way?

"Yo...... Good morning, you still haven't eaten anything...... don't be angry, your body won't be able to support it if you go on like this! ”

This is indeed a dungeon, yes, but compared to the place where Zhao Xin was imprisoned, this can almost be called the presidential suite, Clarence arranged for someone to clean this place, although it is just a dungeon, but at least it is clean and tidy, and the beds and other furniture are all fully equipped, for a prisoner, this kind of treatment they may not dare to imagine at all.

"Huh...... Are you asking me to accept the gift of my enemies? Give it up...... I won't be insulted by you, now ...... Take these things...... Get away from me, I don't want to see you......"

If you don't look closely, you may not recognize the slightly frail emaciated girl in front of you as Phyllis, in the week she came to Noxus, she didn't eat even a bite of the food sent by Clarence, even if the bed was a new bedding, she didn't even touch it, just stubbornly sat on the ground, because of the long-term hunger and huge mental pressure, the originally lovely girl looked a little old at this time, her cheeks were slightly sunken, The eyes with dark circles still flashed with a weak but determined gaze, the tears in the corners of the eyes had not yet dried, and even red marks had flowed, and the greasy and dry hair was scattered behind him, because he hadn't eaten for a long time, and the body curled up in the corner barely had enough strength to stand up.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you think so...... But please don't mess with yourself, okay? Even if you really want to get revenge on me, you have to have the strength to do it, don't you? Looking at Phyllis with this appearance, Clarence's heart couldn't help but twitch, this was not the girl he knew who was not mature enough but strong enough, and this appearance was by no means the reason why Clarence chose to save her.

"Revenge ......? Scold...... It's ironic to hear you utter the word, now...... Demacia and Noxus ...... Already joined League of Legends, if I got revenge on you...... It is equivalent to denying the will of Demacia, the same ...... If I had escaped back to Demacia, I would have only been ...... As a traitor, I have no choice...... Thanks to you......"

As she recalls the events of the past, Phyllis realizes that when she first met Clarence, she had no reason or desire to tell him about the Apparition and the Radiance, but when she thought about it afterwards, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, why was that?

The reasons for all this were answered before they got worse.

When she first fought Clarence in the town hall, she had already been defeated by his men, and at that time, Clarence had already given all the explanations: the interference magic he was good at, it was only because of the urgency of the situation that Phyllis forgot about it, and in the subsequent conversation, she also used spirit magic to determine Clarence's identity, but his interference magic allowed him to take the initiative to tell the secret he was hiding in his heart, and that's it, Clarence had a huge harvest that was far beyond his expectations.

If Phyllis had noticed this, probably not so many things would have happened, and that's why Phyllis couldn't forgive herself.

But it's quite funny that if she hadn't run into Clarence and Mussell, she wouldn't have been able to do the things that followed, and in this sense, these were the people who prevented the chaos in Demacia, so what kind of expression should I use to face them? Gratitude or hatred? Whenever she thought of the figures of these two men standing in front of her without hesitation when she was in danger, Phyllis felt a pang in her heart - she could not force herself to blame them, and she chose to collapse herself under the entanglement of contradictions and painful anguish.

"Whew...... You don't want to thank me......" Clarence can't fail to understand this, Phyllis has become the biggest victim here, everything she has done is for the glory of Demacia, and now she has become the greatest sinner, the funny thing is, if she is a sinner, then who is the hero who has put an end to this chaos? Is it Chad? Or are those other Phantom members who don't show up at all? Or maybe it's Gavin II himself?

"Maybe I'm not qualified to say that...... But what I want to tell you is that what you do is fully worthy of the glory you hold onto, and those who carry this glory should not hide in such a place. Clarence put the plate on the table, leaned down and tried to pat Phyllis on the back, but before he could touch it, Phyllis immediately turned her body slightly, she actually wanted to slap Clarence's hand away, but her weak body had made her almost unable to lift her arms, seeing that she was so resistant to herself, Clarence could only smile bitterly, it seemed that she really didn't want to say even a word to herself at all, to be honest, Clarence could use force to force her to eat something, but he really didn't want to do it, Seeing that she was already weakened to such an extent, he had almost no choice, he would make her hate himself, and at least let her have the strength, after struggling in his heart for a while, he still decisively picked up a glass of milk and slowly walked in front of Phyllis-

"You...... What do you want to do......" Noticing that Clarence was approaching her step by step, Phyllis asked quite vigilantly, but now she has no strength at all, and the magic power in the magic array has long been used up, and she can't do anything other than weak words.

"I'm sorry......" Clarence breathed a sigh of relief, he had already made up his mind, no matter how rough it was, he must ......

"I didn't expect you to like this, and I disturbed your interest again?"
