Chapter 451: Reasons for Refusal
It seems that this is a test that Miss Morgan specially prepared for Calvis, and she is really not suitable to meddle in it.
Fred was not a fool either, and quickly realized why Miss Morgan had kept her in the church.
After thinking about it clearly, I was quite apprehensive in my heart.
Tomorrow Calvis is gone, and only he and Miss Morgan are left in the church.
This solitude is a good opportunity to confess everything.
As mentioned earlier, when talking to Miss Morgan, he chose to hide his identity and did not tell him that he was Fred, the former king of the Apocalypse Empire, using a pseudonym named Rex.
This is undoubtedly a distrustful of the other party's approach, so Fred has always wanted to confess all this to the other party.
was previously under the seal of the witch, and in order to avoid affecting this gentle and kind elf lady, he did not choose to confess and tell the other party everything.
But now the situation is different, he is out of the sea of misery, and all this is thanks to Miss Morgan's help.
If he chooses to hide everything about the other party in this situation, then he is too disqualified as a knight.
He secretly made up his mind that he would confess his past to Miss Morgan when Calvis was gone tomorrow.
And Calvis too, although it is only a temporary alliance, but it is better to make it clear that he is Fred.
Miss Morgan went out as if to give Calves a clue about the Angel of Destiny, and then returned to the church.
And Ye Qiong had already completed his purpose, and there was not much magic left in his body, so he took the remaining materials in his hand and returned to his room.
In the room, a man and a sword were silent for a while, and Fred was the first to break the silence.
"Calvis, I've been hiding a thing from you."
Hide it from me?
When he first heard this, Ye Qiong was a little puzzled, but he quickly figured it out.
Oh, so I didn't know you were "Fred" yet.
Could it be that Fred thought that he was hiding quickly, and did not suspect that his identity had been revealed? Even if you've been to the Sage Village once?
The king's nerves were big enough that it was no wonder that he was unaware of his betrayal.
He pretended to know nothing, and said in confusion: "Huh? ”
At this time, the blonde paladin's expression was full of puzzlement.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the time wasn't yet there."
Fred slurred, apparently guilty for hiding Calvis's identity.
"Actually, I'm not the sword spirit of the Sword of Hyera, but the former king of the Apocalypse Empire, Fred."
This is said in the same way as "I, Qin Shi Huang, make money".
If a normal person hears this, he will definitely be suspicious.
It's a pity that Ye Qiong already knew Fred's identity, and he didn't choose to continue lying.
He showed a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, that's what you're trying to talk about."
This reaction, as if he had already known his identity, Fred looked hesitant.
"Brother Calvis, you, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Qiong showed a natural look.
"You don't think you're well hidden, do you? My friend.
As far as I know, where is the sword spirit of Hyera's sword, and that witch, who has always liked that king, how can she empathize with a sword?
I can't even see such an obvious loophole, Rex, you really can't be a fool of me. ”
"Didn't you already know that?"
"That's right."
Ye Qiong nodded and replied naturally.
"Then why don't you just say it?"
"It's up to me to ask this question, King Fryde, why did he choose to hide his identity at that time?
I thought you had some concerns, so you didn't choose to break it, it turns out that you always thought you were well disguised?
Anyone like me who has only been with you for a few days can see you, and Miss Morgan probably already knows who you are. ”
Ye Qiong's last sentence pierced Fred's psychological defense.
"Miss Morgan. Also know? ”
"Probably."
Ye Qiong didn't finish his words.
"But you'd better make it clear to her, for Miss Morgan, though gentle and kind, doesn't mean she's open to her friends' deception.
Presumably she has been waiting for you to explain the reasons for your deception. ”
After hearing this, Fred hesitated for a moment before nodding heavily.
"Yes, you're right, I really should make everything clear, whether it's the reason for the deception, why hide my identity."
"That witch should confess her heart, too."
This passage was what Ye Qiong thought in his heart, and he didn't say it.
The love affair between an upright paladin and a paranoid witch.
To be honest, Ye Qiong is not optimistic, what Ma Xin has done now is even more excessive than Fred, and when he realizes all this, what kind of expression will he use to treat Ma Xin (Miss Morgan)?
No matter how good-tempered this honest paladin is, he can't help but be angry.
Makxin, Makxin, for the sake of you teaching me the Devil's Path, I'll help you with it.
You're supposed to be watching, right?
Maxin's crystal ball has the function of snooping, which Ye Qiong knows very well.
This witch will peep when she has nothing to do, and he has long been used to it.
Although there is a risk of angering the witch now, with the Desperate Knight protecting him, it is not a big problem.
"Fred, do you like Miss Morgan?"
A through ball broke through Fred's defence again.
"You, what are you talking about? Who likes Miss Morgan, I'm just friends with her. ”
Good standard tsundere speech.
Fred paused, then continued:
"It's just that it's more comfortable with her, and I haven't thought about becoming a lover with her."
"Truth or falsehood?"
"As a knight, I never lie."
"Heh, Rex."
"That's just a temporary measure, it's too dangerous to compare my identity."
"Forget it, leaving that aside, you really don't have any thoughts about Miss Morgan? So what if I go after her? ”
"Calvis, you're not going to do that."
"Why do you dare to assert that?"
"Although I am dull, I can still tell if there is love in your eyes when you look at Miss Morgan, and what you just said is only used to provoke me."
Ye Qiong was not surprised that Fred was able to see through this, after all, he was also the king of a country during his lifetime.
"What if I pursue without love? To put it bluntly, what if I was just plain. ”
"In that case, Miss Morgan will definitely not accept you."
Fred was not angry at Ye Qiong's words, perhaps in his opinion, Calvis was just using aggressive words to force him to show his heart.
It was true that as he thought, Ye Qiong had no thoughts about Miss Morgan from beginning to end.
This elf girl, beautiful and beautiful, but not very good inside, this is a witch who can imprison her crush for decades, and he doesn't dare to provoke at all.
Fred keeps saying that he doesn't mean anything to Miss Morgan, but is it really what he thinks?
Some people are extremely slow to be emotional, and they have already fallen into it, but they have to say that they are very sober and rational.
Fred probably falls into that category.
"And what about Makshin? She has personally revealed her heart to you, have you never had love for her? ”
"Nope."
This time, his answer was even more decisive than before.
Asked rhetorically.
"Would you fall in love with a witch who has imprisoned you for decades?"
Indeed, as Fred said, except for a few groups with special interests, no one would be moved to love the witch's pursuit.
"So you kept your hand at that time, just out of guilt? I can understand it that way. ”
Fred paused, in fact, he didn't think clearly why he chose to keep his hand at that time, maybe it was really as Calvis said, but he felt guilty in his heart, which made him shake.
This is the only answer that makes the most sense.
"Maybe, after all, she will become what she is now, and I also have some responsibility, obviously there was a better way to deal with it at that time, why didn't I figure it out when I was dull?"
After a long absence, there was a little annoyance in his tone.
"Then why did you choose to reject her at that time, because of your status as a demon scholar? Or is it that the personality is not easy to get along with? ”
"Demon Taoism is an extraordinary profession that is expressly forbidden in the Apocalypse Empire, and its reputation among nobles and commoners is not particularly good.
But I didn't reject her because of that.
Not long after I accepted her confession, I went to read books on demonism and understood the essence of demonism.
In my opinion, this transcendent profession is not too harmful to the Empire.
If I hadn't been betrayed by George at that time, I would have repealed the law that forbade the study of demonism. ”
"So, do you hate her character? Also, how good can the witch's personality be. ”
"That's not the case, Ma Kexin's personality at that time was not so distorted, how to say it, at that time, she was an extremely sunny college girl."
"Sunshine. Target.. College girl? ”
This adjective, no matter how you look at it, can't be used to describe the witch Maxin, right?
"You can't do it either, can you? But that's just the way it is, and she had a lot of suitors back then. ”
"Personality is fine, and it has nothing to do with her identity, so why would you choose to refuse? Could it be that it just doesn't match the eye-to-eye? ”
Fred didn't answer immediately, as if he was recalling what had happened.
After about two minutes, Fang replied:
"The day Markham confessed to me was a few days before the Plague Knights.
At that time, although I had stepped into the sixth order and become the Dawning Sword Saint, I didn't dare to guarantee that I would be able to defeat the plague knight. ”
This development, coupled with Fred's character, in fact, Ye Qiong could probably guess the reason for his refusal.
"The threat of the empire has not been removed, and I dare not guarantee that I will definitely survive and bring her happiness.
So at that time, I chose to refuse, the people have not yet ushered in peace, and I am not a servant, what qualifications do I have to pursue happiness?
In my eyes at the time, rejection was the best answer. ”
"It's a pity that you died later, even if you figured everything out and wanted to say sorry, it was too late."
"That's right, I've been floating above St. Kan'er for more than ten years, and after all these years, Maxin's temperament has changed, and she has learned how to dwell spirits in objects.
The rest of the situation is like you see now, I was sealed for decades. ”
So the misunderstanding between Fred and Maxin is actually not so deep.
Ye Qiong glanced sideways at Ma Kexin's room, and he didn't know if this witch had heard it.
"Then why didn't you make everything clear during the time you were sealed?"
Fred smiled self-deprecatingly.
"To be clear, the matter has come to this, and there is no room for manoeuvre between me and her.
After so many years, I understand her thoughts, she will never forgive me, otherwise why would she put forward such a harsh three conditions?
It was indeed my fault back then, and if it weren't for her intervention, I would have been floating in St. Can'er City day after day.
I remember all of this very clearly, and when George is killed and the empire is restored to normalcy, I will return to her, and it will be up to her to kill or scrape it.
This is the end of Fred's life, which is also a good ending. ”
A life of betrayal has long since left his heart full of holes, and he does not feel love in Makxin's approach, but only endless hatred.
If her own death can bring her relief, then do it.
Ye Qiong heard his decadence from Fred's words, and the wear and tear of time made him change from a high-spirited hero to the exhausted appearance he is now.
Affection, friendship, love, he never had one of them.
This kind of life is really a failure.
The people around him are also full of lies about him, which makes his life full of backstabs.
To be honest, if Ye Qiong was him, he would have already turned black.
But
"Why aren't you angry at all?"
Ye Qiong couldn't help but say this question.
"You should be angry, like I did, but why didn't you do that?
Betrayed by the vast majority of the nobles of the empire, all you want is to kill the culprit, why are you so sensible and don't want to bring your anger to the entire empire? Why do you still want to save those foolish people?
has been sealed by the witch for decades, why should you care about her mood.
It's true that you were at fault back then, but that's not the reason why the witch imprisoned you for decades, so you shouldn't be guilty of that, right?
Why is it that even if you are treated like this, you can say "I was wrong".
Do you really have no resentment at all?
I'm curious.
Lord Fred,
After all, you are too perfect in every way, have you really had negative emotions? (End of chapter)
