Chapter 703 Confusion
"Damn it, I lost again!"

With the cooperation of Frederick and Alscholz, Rose lost half of her travel expenses.

Frederick smiled and said, "Let's stop here today and play again tomorrow."

Rose wanted to continue, but her luck tonight was really bad, so she had to give up.

She looked at Renate, wondering what she was thinking.

Frederick returned to the guest room and had just fallen asleep on the bed when Rose pulled Renate in.

Without waiting for Frederick to ask, Rose pulled Renata to the bedside and asked anxiously and expectantly, "Shall I sell her to you?"

Renate's face turned pale, she clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, and she kept shaking.

"How much?" Frederick asked.

Rose replied: "Ten florins."

Frederick looked Renate up and down with a critical eye for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he pulled Rose into his arms and said softly, "We have more important things to do now."

Rose's face suddenly turned red.

When she came to her senses, the midday sun was shining brightly outside the window, birds were singing on the branches, and ten gold coins were lined up on the bedside table, sparkling.

The room was quiet, without any sound. Except for some tables, chairs and her luggage, all the valuables and people were gone. There was some baked bread on the dining table on the first floor, which should have been baked early in the morning.

Rose couldn't understand what was going on. Why were all the people gone? She felt like she had a wonderful dream.

At the same time, the two carriages were galloping on the road. The gravel road could quickly drain the rainwater and there was no mud at all.

Al Scholz led the way in his carriage, and Bell Burke followed in his car.

Frederick sat next to Elscholz and asked curiously, "Can you solve the problem of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Elscholz said: "I have some connection with her old mother, so just leave her to me."

Frederick nodded and said, "Well, I can't show up here, so I'll leave her matter to you."

Elscholz smiled and said, "No trouble, I got paid."

She helped to solve the problem of the real princess, received 500 gold coins from Frederick, and planned to open a food factory and research flavor substances in Berlin.

Elscholz said in surprise, "I never thought you wouldn't attack Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Frederick curled his lips and said, "According to the laws of the Duchy of Wessen, it is illegal to attack people with intellectual disabilities."

Al Scholz laughed, wiped his tears and said, "I never thought you could say such mean things."

Frederick said helplessly, "A victim actually kept his oath with the perpetrator and vowed not to tell anyone about the perpetrator's evil deeds. Even your truth medicine doesn't work. I can't think of any other reason except mental disability."

Elscholz was somewhat speechless about the real princess, but he still said, "She is keeping her promise. Isn't integrity preached in the scriptures?"

"Even if it is an oath made under the threat of death, it must be kept?" Frederick shook his head. "That's because the crooked-mouthed priest misinterpreted the scriptures. They only emphasize the rules and regulations that people must abide by, forgetting that God loves everyone. People should free themselves from the shackles of rules and regulations and put themselves first."

Elscholz was not very interested in doctrine, but he felt that it was wrong, so he asked: "Doesn't this encourage selfishness and greed?"

Frederick shook his head and said, "Man is an individual in society. If he is completely separated from society, there is no difference between man and beast."

"Society is a collection of relationships between people. The relationships between countless individuals form society." "The relationship between people is two-way, just like you and me. You can choose to have a relationship or you can choose to break off the relationship."

“People have the right to be selfish and greedy, and others also have the right to choose to sever ties with them.”

"Such a person, ostracized by society, is nothing more than a beast in clothes."

Elscholz thought what he said made some sense, but he also found a problem, so he said: "You suddenly realized the difference in power."

"You are stronger than me. If I want to break off relations with you, but you use violence to force me to obey you and forcibly maintain the relationship, and I cannot resist, doesn't that contradict what you said?"

Frederick nodded and said, "There is indeed this problem. It is certain that such a relationship is unhealthy."

Al Sholz vaguely sensed what he meant and said, "In other words, this is a problem in society."

"According to you, does this mean that society needs doctors, strong doctors?"

"Just like this time, the relationship between the two of them is a lesion, and we acted as doctors to treat the lesion."

Frederick nodded.

Seeing him nod, Al Scholz asked seriously, "So, who will be the doctor?"

"You have the awareness and ability to be a doctor, but what happens after you die?"

“What if the lesion is in the head?”

“If I am the most powerful person in the world and I can benefit from my disease, then who can heal me?”

"The last question is, how do you ensure that you won't get sick?"

Frederick listened quietly, then sighed deeply and said, "I am also looking for answers to these questions."

Elscholz suddenly noticed that his hands were shaking. Confused, he reached out and patted his hands and said, "Relax, this is not like you at all. What happened?"

Frederick forced a smile on his face and whispered, "In fact, I am not as smart and powerful as others think. I also have times when I am powerless."

"I just talked about my ideal society, and you talked about the social reality."

“I’ve changed a lot of things, and I want to change more, but the further I go, the more powerless I feel.”

He has always had a goal in his heart, which is to build a new society. He may not be able to accomplish it in this lifetime, but he will leave a valuable legacy for future generations.

However, his experience in his previous life is very different from this world and cannot be applied mechanically.

This incident served as a wake-up call for him.

The real princess is a crude magician who can create a gust of wind and blow away other people's hats.

But the fake princess was a professionally trained knight, skilled enough to follow Frederick on the battlefield.

Although the details are unknown, it is certain that the real princess' life was threatened.

Under extraordinary power, the cost of resistance will be extremely high, so high that if someone chooses to surrender, he will not be able to blame the other party.

Elscholz had never thought that the world-famous Grand Duke Wessen would also show a frustrated expression, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
