Chapter 527: Crisis

After listening to Albert's account, Charlotte smiled. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Mephistopheles did it. ”

It was obvious that both the killing of the second prince and the relationship with Lisa could be said to be under the nose of the demon, and if Mephistopheles hadn't pinched the handle on this side, it would have made Charlotte feel incredible.

However, how did the death of King Heberis leak, or who leaked it? Only himself and Albert should know about it.

"It's really worthy of the Demon King, and he stabbed the weak spot beautifully. ”

From the beginning, Charlotte didn't think Mephistopheles and his demons would be good people, and strictly speaking, Mephistopheles's actions weren't betrayal, because from the beginning the two sides were trading on everything individually, not in an alliance.

In other words, from the beginning, Charlotte's every step was like a sponge full of holes, and she knew it, but she still chose to let it go.

"After all, it's a demon, and this result is quite expected. ”

The only thing that surprised Charlotte was the way it was handled, and publicity like this could really get the word out about Charlotte's actions quickly, but it wouldn't maximize the benefits of the people who spread the news.

Charlotte didn't think Mephistopheles would make such a stupid mistake, which meant that there was some kind of uncontrollable situation on the other side.

It's funny, but it's okay with Charlotte now.

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess was still in the mood to praise the enemy at this time, Albert was also quite helpless.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess....... ”

Charlotte, of course, knew what Albert wanted to say, and she pressed her palm to signal Albert to calm down.

Albert looked at Her Royal Highness the princess to whom he was loyal, and completely calmed down. Since Her Royal Highness the princess knows the whole thing, she will definitely arrange the backhand, so that all this that he and the princess have been carefully managing will not collapse.

"What should we do now? It's not easy to get back in a situation like this. ”

Yes, it's not easy, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Even if the people were not instigated by others after seeing such a picture, they would surely be indignant, but so what? After all, it is just a distant bark of the powerless. It is important to convince the nobles who support the princess to change their position before they change their position, and at this point, what is needed is not connections or eloquence, but real benefits.

"How?"

Charlotte was on the windowsill with one hand, smiling at Albert and tapping her cheek with her fingertips, without the slightest tension.

The silence lasted for a while, and just as the impatience in Albert's heart rose again, Charlotte finally spoke, but she was not talking about solutions or instructions, but on completely unrelated topics.

"Don't look at me like this, I actually like stories about righteous heroes. It is hopelessly stupid to shoulder an inexplicable and arrogant responsibility for the sake of frivolous justice, to help the weak, to sweep away evil, to give, to sacrifice. ”

Because it was so sudden, Albert didn't even react at the first time, he didn't understand what the princess was talking about.

Charlotte didn't need Albert to understand, just talked to herself.

As long as the heroes think that they are needed by others, by stories, and by the world, they can get the value and meaning of life from it, even if it is just an ignorant illusion, as long as they can't see through it, then the fantasy can still become real. ”

It's not so much that Charlotte likes the heroes of these stories as she is jealous. Those people don't need to get lost in the darkness called life, they just need to firmly believe in ridiculous justice, follow the false light all the way, don't have to doubt, don't need to be confused, don't have to think, and in the end they can still get a happy ending.

"It's a pity that the real world is not so idealized, justice often dies on the way to assert itself, while evil is more likely to thrive. ”

This is the difference between idealism and realism, fragile and solid, and this is the portrayal of both.

"But don't you think it's too undreaming to do so?"

So says Charlotte.

Albert looked at Charlotte's bright eyes in amazement, there were so many things in those eyes that he couldn't understand, these things used to make Albert feel scared and reassured, but now, Albert only felt fear.

"You...... What are you talking about, Your Highness ...... Princess? ”

The shrunk in Albert's eyes was clearly imprinted in Charlotte's eyes, which showed that Albert already knew and knew that the relationship between the two had changed. As a result, the smile on Charlotte's face became more gentle, and she spoke softly like a caring mother.

"Now, Albert, what do commoners need to be the princess's knights besides hard work and talent?"

This time, Albert couldn't even pretend he didn't know.

Reality is not a story full of dreams, perhaps in the story, a commoner can become a hero admired by all people by virtue of talent and hard work, or he can become famous for a certain deed.

But in reality, the class gap is as desperate as heaven and earth, and commoners will only be civilians no matter what they do, and even if you can save the world, the person who will eventually get merit will only be the person who can get merit, not a mere civilian, because in the eyes of the superiors, a mere commoner is not even qualified to participate in these things.

Therefore, Albert's experience is much darker than what he sees, as a person at the bottom, he does not have so many scruples, betrayal, calculation, murder and all kinds of dirty methods are the foundation of Albert's life.

"I ....... ”

The open mouth was finally silently closed, Albert didn't know what to say, in order to become the princess's knight, Albert was extremely cautious in doing these things, thinking that he did not show a trace of horses' feet. After becoming a princess knight, he covered up everything in the past and tried to make his image conform to the identity of a princess knight, so why was it exposed?

Albert, he didn't believe that the princess would be disgusted with him for frivolous reasons like justice, but he was afraid, afraid that the princess would abandon herself as an outcast at this critical juncture, after all, he was the one who knew best what the princess had done.

After a little thought, Albert stopped thinking about why he was exposed, he knew that the present was more important than the past that could not be changed. (To be continued.) )
