Text vip_ Chapter 462: The Princess's Admonition
"That's fine. Don't you need me to bring the citizens anymore?" Rex asked.
"Not necessarily. With the precedent on this side, the aristocratic mansions on the other side were soon moved. Let's just do our own thing. Ming slowly floated up from the ground. "Let's go. You can't always work for nothing. β
"Although the money paid is not yours either. Rex smiled bitterly, a trace of thunder surging through his body, and suddenly disappeared in place.
Akiya jumped off the roof, but instead of landing, he flew forward over the roof.
Outside the city of Ghent
Jack sat in his chair with his hands behind his back. It's not a special position, it's just that the wrists are handcuffed.
Hailan sat across from Jack, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
Silence like this has been maintained for almost two minutes. The two of them were still looking at each other.
In the end, it seemed that Hailan broke the silence.
"I thought you'd have a question for me. Hailan said.
"All the answers are already in front of me, and I don't have to waste my tongue asking superfluous things. Jack said.
"Baby Xu Xu used this method to kidnap you before, and I didn't expect you to be in the same place again. I wanted to use this to make a good laugh at you. Seeing you so calm, I lost my mood. Hailan said with some disappointment.
"That's because you called me to this room alone. I also poisoned the food on the battleship, so I didn't want to say anything. Because I ate that meal too. No strength. I have fallen into the trap, and I naturally have no reason to accuse others of being stupid. Jack said lightly. The voice was indeed a little weak. "I just want to know how I got this colorless, odorless, but powerless medicine. I've never heard of anything like this. β
"yes. Why. Hailan smiled faintly. "I'm also amazed by this magic potion from Arad. It is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. But it can make people feel weak. They have this kind of thing, and it wouldn't be easy to assassinate some important members. It can only be said that the magical civilization is far more terrifying than our mechanical civilization. β
"But this terrible thing is helping you right now. Help you make the majority of the entire battleship powerless, and you have now captured this battleship. Jackett looked at Hailan. Those breathtaking eyes couldn't be looked at by ordinary people at all, but Hai Lan looked at his eyes, and his heart was unusually calm. "But your purpose is not this so-called battleship. Since you dare to control us, you naturally want to prevent what our military forces will do. In other words, Her Royal Highness, something happened. β
"Oh... You know that. Hailan didn't plan to hide it. "But what can you do now?"
"Can't do anything. Jack said lightly. "However, just because I can't do anything doesn't mean that others can't do anything. β
"The entire battleship is controlled by my men. And, now no one else knows about it but you. Now people think it's food poisoning, and my people are taking care of them. And the baby Xuxu you trusted, the gun soul ice, the sword soul, and the phoenix feather, are all because of the feat of the baby Xuxu kidnapping you at the beginning. He was also held in an underwater prison. Although the three people except for Xuxu's baby are only implicated for about three months. But Baby Xuxu has a sentence of nearly three years. They can't help you. They won't receive the message, and naturally they won't break from prison. Hailan smiled. "Just because someone isn't poisoned doesn't mean he can do anything. β
Wow.
It's as if he's specifically against Hailan. There was a knock on the door to this room. The knock is polite, and the knock is neither light nor heavy.
"Hey...", Jack raised the corners of his mouth.
This room is the commander's personal room. Ordinary people are not allowed to come to this room except with the permission of the commander. Hailan also took advantage of her position and was able to come in when Jack was unsuspecting. Now the commander is here, but someone has come here without permission to knock on the door. This means that this is not a coincidence.
Hailan glanced at Jack. Turn the chair Jack was in and let him carry the door with his back. He left his seat. Go open the door. He didn't shut Jack's mouth. He knew that Jack would not do such a boring thing, that he would not be rescued, and that there might be an additional victim.
"Hello. β
After opening the door. A young man dressed in white stood outside. smiled and greeted Hailan.
"Who are you?" Hai Lan looked strangely at the young man who was wearing neither military uniform nor staff clothing. The people on the ship knew themselves, but they didn't know this man.
"He's my guest. Jack, with his back to the door, said.
"Hello. My name is eiji. The young man in white stretched out his hand to Hailan. Said with a smile. "I heard that your celestial realm uses handshakes instead of fists. So, let's shake hands. β
"Aradds?" Hailan was shocked.
The heavenly realm, the entrance to the royal palace.
The black sedan stopped in the open space at the entrance to the palace. From the car, Lanis, Latin, and Grace immediately got out of the car, Lanis opened the door, and Alyselle slowly got out of the car. Stand in front of the palace and watch the group of people who greet you.
There should be only two people in the main one. Marquis of Toro, and Duke of Loville. And dozens of soldiers standing behind them. Seeing Ai Lijie get out of the car, the two of them immediately knelt on one knee on the ground. Under this bright moonlit night, a long shadow was drawn in front of the two people. ok essay network
"Welcome. Your Highness. Toro said, tilting his head. Although his face was still a little pale, he still had a smile on his face.
"You two are flat. Alijie said lightly. "Toro, you seem safe now, and that's reassuring to me. β
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. As soon as he stood up from the ground, Toro said. "Your Highness, you now feel more and more like a real Highness. Just like His Excellency the High Priest of those days. β
"Thank you. Ellen looked at Lowell. "Duke Lovell. Let me ask you, do you know what your wife has done?"
"I know. Your Highness. Lowell said.
"In your opinion, I'm also weak and incompetent, am I?" Alyselle raised her head with a sigh and looked at the sky.
"Your Highness, you are not weak. It's just that young, the means and experience are insufficient. Lowell said. "And Jack, the only one you trust, is using you for his own ends. This time, we do not intend to do anything that goes against His Highness's wishes. We only hope that the outlaws around His Highness will know that as long as we are here, they will have no chance of rebellion. We only hope that His Highness can truly do things for the benefit of the people. β
"So I want to trust you?" said Elijie in a puzzled tone. "Duke Loveville, your love affair with your wife is even a good story. Your wife is bold, passionate, beautiful, and full of wisdom. So you accepted her without reservation. But she's going to get rid of me. He also wounded the Marquis of Toro, who was an ally. Those who get in the way of themselves, even those around them, must be eliminated. Do you think I can trust such a person?"
"Your Highness. Marianne was only momentarily agitated, and I can assure you that she had no intention of harming His Majesty. Lowell said immediately.
"Really? Elejie suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the fiery red sky. "In town, it seems to be on fire. β
"The army of the incompetent let the hateful Callert into the city. Callert has once again carried out their original misdeeds. Lowell said. "Your Highness, you saw it too. Because you have compassion for the people of the world, you have spared Kahlert again and again. But the snake's blood is always cold, and it doesn't get hot just because a person hugs it with a warm hand. The only way to do this is to pull out the snake's fangs. β
"So, give the order. Your Highness. Get rid of all the filthy people who can't be brought in, and give the heavenly realm a purification. Toro said. "As long as you give the order, we are willing to bring peace to you. β
"Including Jack?" said Ellie, still turning her head, looking at the sky in the distance.
"He has won the trust of Your Highness with his own intrigues and means, and climbed to his current position. But he was still Kahlert's man. Lowell said.
"Duke of Loville, Marquis of Toro, do you know? I used to be a priest. Alyselle turned her head and looked at the two of them.
"Yes. We know. Lowell said.
"The duty of sacrifice is to obey the will of Heaven and pray to Heaven for the well-being of the people and the strength of the nation. When I was a sacrificer, I was taught that all living beings are equal, and that all living beings in the world are creatures created by God. β
"Yes, Your Highness. That's right. It's just that someone doesn't understand your feelings, and he's ruined. Lowell said.
"Nope. And it didn't spoil it. They're just doing the same thing in a different way. Build an equal society. This is their ideal. Elegy said slowly. "All beings are equal. No matter how we were born or what happened to us, we all accept death equally. But death is not the only thing in a person's life. A person's encounters, experiences, and struggles for survival are all his life. Everyone has a life. And all of this makes everyone look fair. But some people get everything they have worked hard for, but others have it at their fingertips. It's not fair again. I've always been conflicted about all of this. β
"Your Highness. All beings are equal. It's just that everyone has more or less. Lowell said again.
"yes. I've figured it out now. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. All things in the world are created equal. But when a person gets more than others without putting in the same amount of effort as others, this creates inequality. That is, the root of the war. Alijie said. "I got power, I got status. But I didn't do anything, either before or after I got status. There are people who are willing to gamble everything for the sake of power, which seems to me to be insignificant, and gamble until their families are ruined. Bet until your wife is separated. Sometimes I don't get it. Inequality begets hate, hate begets anger, anger tangles together and turns into a raging fire. The fire burns the sky red, and he wants to burn the merciless sky that does nothing and ignores the sufferings of the world. It's like the miserable scenery on the horizon now. β
"Your Highnessβ" Lowell sensed something unusual. He felt that the princess in front of him was slowly changing in some places.
Looking at Ellie, who seemed to be praying and repenting, the corners of Toro's mouth kept rising.
"But I'm not going to change my mind. Alijie said. "It's a long way to go. It is so long that all the people around me will leave one by one, and I will take my life for them. But it is also a straight path that seems to me to be absolutely correct. A right path that needs to be followed by me. I'm not doing nothing, I'm saving. For the path in my heart, accumulate my strength. I have never forgotten and never deviated from this path. When I first became the princess, in the face of public criticism, I did not forget or deviate. When I was kidnapped by Kahlert, I still didn't forget to walk on this path. Now, in the face of the courtiers I believe in, the nobles who hold the lifeblood of the country point at my gun, I have never forgotten. The road is not easy to walk and it is also very long. So, I need someone to pave the way for me. Pave a road for me. Toro!"
Faced with the name that the princess almost shouted in a reprimanding voice, Lowell actually forgot to respond for a while.
"Here you are!" Toro immediately shouted.
"Minister... The minister is here. Lowell also hurriedly said.
"What you are doing now is a rebellion, a rebellion, a demonic means to push the peace of the people into the abyss! No matter what reason you have, you will always be wrong! Now, I will give you a chance! Surrender all the armies you have ambushed, and bring all the nobles involved this time to me to confess their mistakes, and I will open up to you, and I will not punish you with death. Otherwise, I hereby declare on the charge of the royal daughter! Your act of rebellion will implicate your whole family. All of you will be sentenced to death for treason! Your stigma will be recorded in the annals of history! Future generations will always remember that there were once your families, who ignored the country, ignored the people, ignored the royal family, deviated from the scriptures, and rebelled!" "Give me an answer now. Are you going to continue the rebellion, or are you going to kneel before me and accept my forgiveness?"
"Minister, I am willing to protect Your Majesty forever. Toro immediately fell to his knees, not on one knee, but on both knees. Bow down in front of Your Majesty with absolute sincerity. "The Toro family is willing to swear eternal allegiance to the royal family in the name of their ancestors, and they will not hesitate to swear their bones to pieces for the peace of the country. β
"Good. What about you, Lowell?" said Eliza, looking at Lowell.
"I ......," Lowell panicked. He didn't know what to do.
This time the rebellion was able to start. And the rest of the nobles who controlled the private army joined forces to rebel, and the main reason was actually the weakness of the royal daughter. As long as her own people do it in the name of justice, even if the princess's subordinates and troops will resist, the princess will not do anything. Even if the people learn about it in the end, they have their own way out.
