Chapter 108: The Devil's Flower
You say that you regret what you did, Alex's words made Sophia relax her guard a little, but she still couldn't fully trust him
Yes, Alex threw the dagger back to Sophia, 12 years ago the terrible fire of jealousy ruined me, Duke Duncan, ruined myself and the Mawson family, ruined the royal family that the Mawson family had been loyal to for hundreds of years, and the thought of removing John Duncan and his Duncan family from my heart was in my heart, and it was not until my most loyal squire, Lu Ke, awakened me with his life, how sad it was to be lost in jealousy, and now I have nothing left......
Marquis Mawson, for so many years, you have been struggling with guilt, Sophia took back her short sword, she also squatted down and said to Maureen, this once unforgivable rebellious knight, at this time, this confession is so natural, so sincere, long-term light magic training, and incomparable belief in the god of light, so that Sophia has formed an ability to intuitively distinguish whether a person who confesses in front of her is true or false, and she cannot find any flaws in Mawson's expression and tone, and intuitively tells her that it is indeed the true thoughts of a sincere and repentant person
I committed too many sins in the first half of my life, I should have died and apologized, but I have survived until now, I only hope to find a chance for me to make up for my mistakes, 12 years later, this opportunity is still far away, I can't help but feel depressed, I am worried that when this sinful life comes to an end, I have not waited for this opportunity, thank God for letting Her Royal Highness the princess come to the sinner at this moment, I am extremely happy, because the moment of atonement has finally come, Mo Sen regained his reverent half-kneeling posture, the expression on his face is like walking on thin ice, but I don't know if His Royal Highness can give this opportunity to the minister
The Marquis asked Sophia to lift Alex up, and with a warm smile, the Holy Book said that no mistake can be redeemed, and that God in Light will forgive a person who has sincerely reformed himself, no matter how great his previous sins may have been
Thank you for your understanding and trust, Your Highness the Princess, your kindness has made the guilty minister feel extremely warm, and Alex stood up with Sophia's support, but after saying this, his tone suddenly changed, so let His Highness help me again
Sophia's face changed dramatically, and she immediately realized that something was wrong, but it was too late - Alex took advantage of the situation and grabbed her right hand and twisted it back, and Sophia let out a painful snort, and the dagger in her right hand fell to the ground
However, Sophia did not give up resisting, she flipped up her left hand and held the short sword in her back, and slashed a lonely path in the air and stabbed Alex directly into Alex's temple, but Alex was prepared, he only dodged Sophia's side stab with a slightly short head, and buckled his left wrist hard, twisted it vigorously, and the short sword in his left hand also fell to the ground in less than two seconds, Sophia cut her hands back, and the whole person was pressed to the ground
Don't move, princess, your hands will be dislocated, Alex Mawson said coldly
Marquis Mosen, what are you doing, let go of me, Alex's sudden attack caught Sophia off guard, she had a look of anger on her face, but her whole body was firmly controlled, and she wanted to resist, but she was powerless
Didn't you just ask why the guilty minister knew your identity, Your Royal Highness, Alex poked his head behind Sophia's head and put it against her ear, and said, "That's the Pope suing me."
pope
Just now, I received an order from the Pope from thousands of miles away, asking me to kill all the people who invaded the Tower of the Seven Sins, Alex's words were like a poisonous needle, and Sophia Madan's heart tingled, but Sophia Madan, the exiled princess of the former Matain dynasty, should be excluded, because His Highness has something on his body that the Pope is interested in, and you can't die until you get it
The Pope wants you to do this
That's right, in other words, Her Royal Highness has become my captive at this time
Your methods are too despicable, Sophia said angrily
Despicable, I don't care, the means are not important, as long as the result is the same as the Pope, Your Highness, your character is as fierce as your father and brother, although you can also succeed in the frontal attack, but Your Highness will resist desperately, and the oath will definitely cause your Highness, you are injured, this is something that the princess, me, and the Pope do not want to see, and the criminal minister can only make this decision
Hearing Alex say this, Sophia couldn't help but gasp, is this what a knight who regards honor as his life should say, even if Alex was in an advantageous situation when Alex rebelled 12 years ago, but he still insisted on the way of knighthood and fought a fair duel with John Duncan one-on-one;
What the hell did the Central Church give you that made you so desperate?
It's not a dead heart, but at this time, the guilty minister can't turn back, Alex Mawson smiled helplessly, Your Royal Highness, princess, do you want to hear what has happened to me in the past 12 years
Alex Mawson...... Hmph, mentioning the name, Pope Frio I saw the word mockery in his eyes through the silver mask, and the pope sat on the throne and began to see how the central court had let this loyal knight step by step into the abyss of depravity
The Central Church's plot against the Pole Kingdom has been carried out a hundred years ago, the best way to break down a fortress is to start from the inside, the Central Church has sent a large number of spies to infiltrate all levels of society in the Pole Kingdom for a hundred years, and after decades of painstaking management, some spies have even penetrated into the core of the kingdom's important ministers and high-ranking nobles - Alex's mother is one of them
Hanna, a woman born into a noble family in the kingdom of St. Auluffy, entered the noble monastery of the Pole Kingdom in the name of church exchange and study, and successfully obtained a reason to live in Pole, with her irresistible beauty and charm, she gradually captured the heart of the old Marquis of Mawson, the father of Alex, and then naturally became his third wife, and then naturally gave birth to the future successor of the Mawson family: Alex
In the following ten years, Hanna, with the secret assistance of the Central Church, removed the obstacles to Alex's succession, and she poured chronic poison into her husband's food day after day, so that the man who loved her deeply became weaker and weaker in just five years, until finally the medicine stone was incurable, the group of doctors were helpless, and then Hanna and the Central Church were poisoned, assassinated, Methods such as provocation wars led to the return of Alex's two older brothers and one sister to heaven within a few years - of course, this qiē was done so perfectly, not even by Alex himself, let alone the others
Under the painstaking management of his mother, Alex inherited his father's marquisate at the age of only 14, and Hanna also used her biological mother to continue to instill in Alex how the Duncan family oppressed the Mawson family and how the royal family was unfair to the Mawson family. The death of his sister was due to the guilt of the Duncan family, and the jealousy of the Duncan family grew year after year, day after day, until finally one day the fire of jealousy burned him completely
This was a fairly successful infiltration, and although it lasted too long, it succeeded in instigating the Mawson family, who had a heavy army and guarded the kingdom's northern border, and cleared more than half of the obstacles for the coalition to invade the kingdom of Pole
Although Alex's mother, Hannah, had passed away with the secret shortly after the Hansarsa Rebellion, it was impossible for Alex himself to know the secret, but even if Alex knew, it would not be a big deal, because the Pope held Alex's lifeblood - there was something in the world that could break the will of any of the strongest people in the world, make warriors cowards, and turn knights into scoundrels
This thing has a terrifying nickname: the Devil's Flower.
