Chapter 216: Exposed
Silent!
The moment he heard Ellie say this, Rhodes instantly understood that Lin Bai's last words had aroused Ellie's suspicions, and if he couldn't dispel Ellie's doubts, then he would lose Ellie's trust.
Although the wood is now in the boat, even if you tell the truth, it is not a big deal.
But wouldn't it be more beneficial to deceive Ellie, but he did have some aversion to continuing to play the role of a loyal knight, or should he just give it all out and take a good look at Ellie's desperate gaze?
Although I wanted to deny it, Rhodes had to admit the truth.
As a loyal servant for generations, he enjoys this sense of rebellion, and this feeling of 'tax evasion' is addictive like a poppy, and once you experience it, you can no longer control the pleasure of continuing.
The princess's loyal knight betrayed his master?
Just thinking about it was not too pleasant, and at this moment he even wanted to thank the creator who wrote this script, and he was able to enjoy such a wonderful thing.
But but but but, but but—
Compared to seeing Ellie's disbelief and despair now, he hopes more to reach the country of Qing, when the prince of the right faction appears in front of this beautiful princess, what kind of pleasant expression will this princess who has offered his loyalty from below?
After the silence, Rhodes' face remained unchanged.
He still knelt on one knee and said in a righteous voice that sounded loyal to him: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't believe the lies of this necromancer who killed our 80 brothers in the Rain Country and tried to kidnap you, as a guardian knight who has guarded you since childhood, don't you believe me?"
Ellie, who was raining with pear blossoms, couldn't help but nod her head because of Rhodes's aggressive words, but after nodding, she immediately shook her head and said, "Rhodes, I know you won't betray me, but I really don't have any sense of security now, if I can, if I can......"
"Of course there is no problem!"
Rhodes stood up and said righteously: "It is my duty to relieve your doubts, but it is really difficult to do the secret order you asked me to take, because the secret order has been destroyed by me. ”
Everything makes sense.
Ellie bit her lip lightly and said, "Second question, why did you take me on a detour to Qingguo, you should know that Qingguo is full of rightist eyeliner, once you reach Qingguo's territory, the strength of the leftists alone is not enough to protect our safety!"
This sentence is really difficult to answer.
But there are always more ways to end than problems, so Rhodes only hesitated a little and said: "All this is arranged by the king, I think the king must have given this order after a lot of thought, as a knight of the kingdom, I can only unconditionally abide by this order, don't you believe your father Your Majesty the King?"
There are no flaws in the answer!
Throw this question to the king of the rain country who can't answer at this time, Ellie's biological father, even if Ellie has a lot of thoughts in her heart, she can only believe Rhodes's words, because doubting Rhodes is equivalent to indirectly doubting her father, the king of the rain country!
Ellie, who regarded her father as an idol, would never doubt the king no matter what.
Even if she is asked to take a detour to Qingguo without protection, she will definitely do it, in the final analysis, she ran away from home just to anger his father for using her marriage as a bargaining chip, at this time she has long wanted to return to the rain country, and her resentment towards her father has been eliminated 7788.
Therefore, Rhodes's answer was perfect.
There was no flaw in all of this, and Ellie should have believed his words at this time, but what Rhodes never expected was that Ellie actually retreated again and again at this moment and stood by Lin Bai's side.
"Rhodes, why are you deceiving me!"
Full of questioning tone, Ellie picked up the long sword in her hand and pointed it at Rhodes: "Even if Lin Bai lists a lot of evidence, I don't believe that you will betray the kingdom and betray my father, but now it makes it difficult for me to believe in you anymore." ”
"Don't you believe me and want to believe the ...... of the dead man!"
Rhodes didn't understand how his flawless performance could be seen by the other party, and with his knowledge of Ellie, he knew even more than he knew himself, and according to established habits, this level of deception was enough to deceive Ellie.
"Not believing in Mr. Lin Bai is indeed the biggest mistake of my life. ”
Ellie's eyes were filled with useless remorse: "But choosing to believe in you instead of believing in my father is the second biggest mistake I made, and the price of making a mistake needs to be repaid with my life, the only one who is sorry, the only one who is sorry is Mr. Lin Bai......"
It was the voice of remorse to the extreme.
Doubts flashed in Rhodes' eyes when he heard Ellie's answer, and then his pupils shrank and he said to himself, "Could it be that the old fox has seen through everything about me?"
His face turned pale, and Rhodes said in disbelief: "How is it possible, he actually doubts me! After the loyalty of my generation, is he righteous?"
"The betrayer is not qualified to speak of the ancestors! ”
Ellie gritted her teeth and said, "I just hate not listening to my father's words, and even ignoring my father's reminder with the idea of proving you in person......"
Exactly!
For the people who have accompanied her since childhood, even if her father's reminder she still thinks that there is some misunderstanding between them, and wants to personally prove that her father's reminder is absolutely wrong, so not only did she not stay away from Rhodes, but followed Rhodes to the road of a thousand clear countries.
And the reminder from the King of the Rain Country to Ellie is!
- If one day you walk out of the palace, never trust the person who asked you to go to the Qing Kingdom, even if it was an order from me!
And he didn't specify who it was, or His Majesty, who was the king of the rain country, didn't know who this person was, but he couldn't help but mention it because he was worried that his daughter, whom he regarded as the pearl of his palm, would really run away from home one day.
Other words.
The king of the rain country already knew that there was a spy and would even make a false order, so he said this prophecy to Ellie as if he was predicting the future.
This is also the reason why Ellie was stunned for a few seconds after Rhodes said this sentence at the fork in the road.
But if you want to use your life to verify the strategic gaze of the king of the rain country, there is a price to pay, and now she has paid an extremely heavy price, not only did she not believe Lin Bai's words, but she was also blinded by hatred and killed Lin Bai.
Regret it?
Of course, but it's too late, it's all her fault, and it's because she trusts others too much, and when they betray her, she can't suppress the anger in her heart and do that kind of thing that doesn't go through her brain.
Sometimes, it's a mistake to believe too much!
Tearing off his disguise, Rhodes finally revealed his true face, he pointed at Ellie and said, "Your Highness Ellie, please allow me to call you one last Highness Ellie, should I thank you for trusting me, or should I say that you are really stupid!"
Step by step, he approached Ellie: "I don't want to believe your father and choose to believe me, this is really the stupidest thing in the world, since the matter has come to this, it seems that I can only forcibly bring you back to Qingguo." ”
With a friendly smile, Rhodes said, "Of course, you can also try to resist, and to be honest, the order given to me by the higher authorities is to take you back - whether you live or die!"
Say the most hurtful words from a gentle smile.
The best glint in Ellie's eyes dimmed, it was a feeling that would only appear after a complete loss of security, although it was not stated, but the girl who was most willing to trust others and kind changed her attitude.
- Trust no one anymore!
Heaven and hell were only for a moment, and when the person she was most willing to believe betrayed her, her heart had stopped beating, and if she could survive this incident, she would not trust anyone.
That's a no-brainer!
Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of the well rope is not just talking, the wound of the soul cannot be treated by any medicine, even time, which is a good medicine to cure everything!
Is there a future, though?
She has killed someone who really wants to save her, and has become a sharp blade in the hands of a betrayer, and her hands are covered with sin, can she still have a future, if there is such a thing, it is definitely a big joke made by the creator god.
The one who should live is dead, but the one who deserves to die is still alive.
Ellie's unlustret pupils revealed a dead aura, the eyes of people who are not afraid of death: "I shouldn't live in this world, my existence is a mistake, Rhodes, I won't go to the country with you, unless you kill me!"
"Are you ready to die?"
A happy smile of betrayal tugged at the corner of Rhodes's mouth, and then he put away his long sword and walked in front of Ellie, focusing his gaze on Ellie's delicate face and neck: "Then as you wish, bring your body back to the Qing Kingdom." ”
Ellie slowly closed her eyes.
There was no fear, no sadness, no expression on her face, just waiting for Rhodes to kill her, but after waiting for three seconds, she didn't feel any pain.
Open your eyes!
Looking at the magnified Rhodes's devil-like ugly face, she retreated again and again, and the expression in her eyes that had never changed turned into absolute horror, she never thought that Rhodes would dare to treat her like this!
That's right!
Rhodes's eyes were full of desire, and just a little bit, he licked her neck, and if he didn't feel that something was wrong and opened his eyes immediately, he was afraid that he would have succeeded by now.
Licking the skin by the betrayer, that is a torture worse than death!
