Chapter 5 The so-called fate

Kevin was stunned by the question, as if he had been poured down by a bucket of cold water, and he slowly came back to his senses as his blood retreated.

Because of Rutgers's long-term preferential treatment and obedience to Alice, Kevin gradually forgot what kind of identity the guy in front of him had.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Rogers fiercely, trying to continue to say some cruel words, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Is it really just a reckless child?" Seeing this, Rogers thought to himself.

Fang Cai's punch was completely capable of killing him, but Kevin didn't seem to want to kill him at all, and he didn't even seem to realize that the attack just now was completely likely to kill someone.

Then he looked at the hero of this world, who was the source of all this.

Alice met Rogess's gaze, which no longer had the usual admiration and eagerness, but a thoughtful look, or as if she was remembering something, and did not really set her eyes on her.

Bright red blood snaked down Rogess's face, but the person was immersed in his own thoughts, so calm that he did not even frown, as if the owner of the blood stain was not him.

This was a far cry from the impression of the stubborn Lord that Alice was familiar with.

Then she turned her gaze to Alina, an elegant aristocratic lady who had been standing quietly beside Rogers since she got out of the car.

She couldn't understand why Alina could stay so laid-back, with no worry on her face.

Alice pursed her lips, thinking that she had to do something, and said:

"Your Excellency, you need to bandage your wounds as soon as possible, you can't wait any longer.

"I sincerely apologize for the harm my brother has done to you, and if there is anything you need to compensate, I will do my best to make amends for you."

Rogers sighed imperceptibly when he heard this, and asked back lightly:

"Alice, this is obviously your brother's fault, why should you make up for it?"

At this point, in order to prevent the destruction of the world and protect the peace of the world, Kevin must embark on his original destiny.

Besides, if he hadn't crossed by himself, he would have actually committed the crime of murder.

While raising the butcher's knife, you should be aware of it.

"What are you...... What do you mean? Alice instinctively sensed something strange in her words, her brows twitched slightly, her two small white hands still clutching the hem of her skirt, and there was even a hint of supplication on her face.

"My dear Alice, could you please recall the kind of question I just asked Kevin?" Rogers deliberately straightened his face and replied seriously:

"I am the son of the Earl of Breed, the heir to a high title that will sooner or later be accepted, and a true nobleman.

"What Kevin did just now was not only injuring a man named Rutgers, but also trampling on the glory of the nobles and damaging the authority of the nobles.

"Therefore, it is no longer just whether I am willing to forgive him, but whether the 'nobles' are willing to let him go.

"Originally, after he injured me, the best option was to run away......"

When Rogers said this, he tilted his ears slightly, and heard the sonorous and powerful sound of iron boots stomping on the ground not far away, quickly from far to near, and then shrugged his shoulders in a helpless tone: "It's a pity, he can't escape." ”

As Rogers spoke, Kevin gradually showed a panicked look, and goosebumps unconsciously appeared all over his body.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood what kind of mistake he had made.

Seeing that Alice wanted to continue talking, Rogers raised an index finger to her lips and spoke:

"Stop talking, my sheriff will be here soon, they're not as understanding as I am.

"If you accidentally say something wrong, you're likely to be thrown into a cell like your brother, and there's no hope."

He didn't want this damn fate to go wrong again.

The faint bloody breath of Rogers' fingertips penetrated into Alice's nose, causing her to purse her lips inexplicably.

But in a moment, five sheriffs in armor behind Rogers parted the crowd and walked straight to his side.

In the next second, these sheriffs took off their helmets, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison:

"Follow Breed's will!"

When Rogers saw that the person who came was really as he thought, it was not a retainer knight who followed him out of the Earl's Court, but a squad of sheriffs on a daily parade.

He tried to calm his tumbling thoughts, and ordered, "Capture Kevin and take care of it at the Earl's Court." ”

The sheriff squad can contain even the silver junior powerhouse, and Rogers is not worried that Kevin will be able to escape.

Then he grabbed Alina's wrist, turned and entered the carriage with Alina, and asked the groom to hurry back to the Earl's Court as soon as possible.

As the groom whipped off, Rogers leaned back in his chair, staring down at the blood on his fingertips, rubbing it slowly.

No matter how dull he was, he could realize that this was a game at all, a killing game that wanted to put him to death.

"I just saw Princess Rufia Augurides in the crowd of onlookers, she must have used invisible magic or magical props." Alina looked at Rogers, who couldn't help but think deeply, and said suddenly.

Rogers paused slightly, and quickly pulled up the character's information from his mind.

Rufia Ogulids, daughter of Prince Reyryid, is one of the most gifted geniuses in the royal family.

She has also been outstanding in the game, helping the heroine through difficult levels more than once.

Could it be that the royal family set up a game for itself? Rutgers couldn't help but continue to think that if it was royalty, there was indeed a great motive.

His family, the Braid, if allied with Aliana's House of Devin through marriage, would rule over nearly half of the eastern part of the empire.

Alina is still an only child, and if she doesn't have a younger brother in the future, the two families of Breed and Devin will inevitably be completely integrated.

That would have a serious impact on the influence of the Imperial Power in the East.

But Rufia seems to be about the same age as herself now, and no matter how stupid the emperor is, he shouldn't let a little girl carry out the plan, it's ridiculous.

Unless there was anyone else with her......

"You expected everything, didn't you? If you know that there is danger, why do you come here? Alina asked, puzzled.

She knew from the time the retainer knight didn't show up for a long time that there must be something abnormal in it.

After subconsciously perceiving the royal princess with the Foreknowledge Bonus, he quickly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"Dear Lord? What are you thinking? I've told you such an important piece of information, so you should respond to me. Alina reached out and shook it in front of the stunned Rogers.

"When everyone is struggling to escape their fate, yet everything they do, every decision they make to get rid of their fate, ultimately leads to the fulfillment of the prophecy."

Rogers whispered a quote from One Hundred Years of Solitude in an unclear tone, and he tapped the slender palm in front of him to prevent it from swaying:

"What am I thinking, you ask? I'm thinking about how I can hold fate by the throat. ”
