This knight is too perfect

Chapter 50 The Light in the Heart [25]

"Miss, we should go."

On a path behind the castle.

Jet looked at Lilitha, who was still standing on the path behind the mountain, staring blankly at the castle, and reminded her.

Besides them, there were also a large number of townspeople who had just escaped from the castle in the back hill.

Because with the help of Lilith, the residents of the small town who were originally imprisoned in the "curtain" found a way to leave the castle with the help of the moonlight that broke through the curtain.

And the moment they stepped out of the fog, they knew they were saved.

The hope that was originally out of reach finally became a reality at this moment.

But their hope was bought with someone's despair.

Lilitha looked at the castle that was once again shrouded in fog and suddenly spoke.

"Jeter, do you think we can bring Mr. Fergus out with us if we go back now?"

After hearing Lilisha's words, Jet, who had lost one arm, was stunned for a moment, and immediately said in an extremely serious tone: "Miss, I'm sorry that I can't give you the answer you want."

"Because you are the princess of Akkad, not the princess of Morton."

"And the people who can protect the land of Morton will always be Morton people. We cannot and will not stay here forever."

As he spoke, Jet also looked at the castle that was once again shrouded in fog, and said with a complicated look in his eyes: "Besides, all of this is Mr. Fergus's own choice, and we have done the best we can."

"I can give Mr. Fergus the greatest help within my ability, but when this help will bring you danger, then this help will end here."

"So young lady, we should go. This is not only a request, but also an order given to me by His Majesty to convey to you when necessary."

Hearing Jet move her father out.

Lilisa finally withdrew her gaze.

She just looked at the people in the town not far away who were rushing to escape from the castle and were unwilling to even look back.

I still don't quite understand Fergus's choice.

Is it really necessary for Fergus to risk his life and soul for a group of ordinary people who might forget him tomorrow?
What was the belief that supported him to overcome his fear of death and make this decision?
In addition, Lilysa was also confused about the absurd idea that suddenly popped up in her mind.

You know, it would be irrational to go back and try to save Fergus now.

But such an absurd and meaningless idea actually appeared.

Lilisa didn't understand the source of this thought, nor could she figure out why she felt inexplicably sad about her impending departure.

It was precisely because of these confusions that made Lilitha hesitate and stop where she was.

Reason told her that if she chose to return to the castle at this moment, these doubts might be answered soon.

But putting yourself in danger in pursuit of an answer seems to be a very irrational approach.

Two analyses based on the same rationality led to two completely opposite paths.

This was a problem Lilitha had never encountered before.

However, when Lilitha was faced with a dilemma, Jet helped her make a choice.

"Miss, if you don't choose to leave, I ask you to forgive my subordinates for their rudeness."

Hearing this, Lilysa finally came to her senses.

She looked at Jeter with a serious face and finally made a decision.

"You're right, it's time for us to go, Jeter."

"May the moon...bless Mr. Fergus."

Jet nodded and expressed his sincere blessings in the direction of the castle.

"May the moonlight bless Mr. Fergus."

Soon, the master and servant from Akkad disappeared into the hills behind the castle under the moonlight, without a trace...

"Damn it, Fergus! Do you know what you've done?"

"You ruined me. You ruined me who was supposed to be on the top of the mountain!"

"I'm going to kill you. I must kill you. No, I can't let you die so easily. I'm going to torture you bit by bit and make you regret everything you did today!"

"And I will use your soul to make up for the mistakes you made!"

At the gate of the castle, Diaz looked at Fergus standing among the corpses of soul stealers and let out a hysterical roar.

He had turned the castle upside down.

But those kind people who were supposed to be trapped in the castle have now all disappeared!

This also means that the ceremony that was originally carried out smoothly has now gone wrong.

Forcing him to change the original content of the ceremony.

Facing Diaz's undisguised malice, Fergus, whose legs were broken, still supported himself with his sword and slowly stood up.

He looked at the frustrated Diaz and sneered, "You want my soul? Let's see if you have what it takes."

Seeing that Fergus still dared to provoke him at this point, Diaz immediately raised the "human bone cane" in his hand, ready to launch his "ghost" to attack Fergus who was already exhausted.

However, just as he raised his human bone cane, a hand directly grasped the cane.

"Diaz, I think I should have said that he belongs to me."

Diaz turned his head with difficulty and saw that Judith had come to his side.

Although Judith had already spoken, Diaz couldn't care less at this moment because it was related to his promotion ceremony.

"Lady Judith, I have already..."

Before Diaz could finish his words, Judith suddenly waved her hand.

boom!
Judith's slender white jade hand hit Diaz's head, causing his head to spin wildly, and crisp "clicking" sounds were heard in the process.

Soon, Diaz, whose neck was twisted into a knot, fell heavily to the ground, dead beyond death.

Looking at Diaz's body, Judith wiped the blood off her hands nonchalantly and said with disgust, "If you can't even host such a simple banquet, what's the point of keeping you?"

"Besides, you let go of the food that should have belonged to me. This loss will have to be borne by a loser like you."

After saying that, Judith threw a scarlet rose at Diaz's body.

After the rose fell on Diaz, it began to quickly devour Diaz's flesh and blood.

Soon, Diaz's body became dry, leaving only a thin layer of skin and a skeleton.

After doing all this and taking back the 'bloody rose', Judith.

He changed his disgust and disdain for Diaz, turned around and looked at Fergus with an expression of great "love" and extended his invitation.

"You're different, Fergus. You're different from that piece of shit Diaz."

"I immediately saw the dazzling and beautiful soul in you, and I am willing to devote a lot of effort to cultivate it carefully."

"So, submit to me, Fergus. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I can give you everything you want. Even my beautiful body can be a reward for your submission. You can play with it as you like. How about it?"

Judith thought that in the face of her sincerity, even if Fergus did not accept it on the spot, he would hesitate.

But the actual situation was completely different from what he thought.

When faced with Judith's invitation, Fergus burst into laughter as if he had heard a huge joke.

As she watched Fergus laughing wildly, the smile on Judith's face gradually froze.

Because he heard sarcasm in the laughter.

"what are you laughing at?"

Hearing Judith's cold tone, Fergus, who had almost got a stitch in his side from laughing, finally stopped slowly.

Then he looked at Judith, who had a gloomy face, and said sarcastically, "Submit to you? You want me to submit to an ugly monster like you?"

"I'm so sorry. Although I am lustful, I am not blind. Your ugly soul is too obvious under the moonlight. It is so obvious that I can't bear to look at it directly."

"is it?"

Judith pondered for a moment, then walked straight up to Fergus and looked down at him.

Originally, Fergus was ready to chop the monster with a sword when it approached.

However, a large number of vines suddenly appeared from the ground before him, restricting Fergus's movements on the spot.

Judith looked at Fergus who was under her control and suddenly attacked.

Pfft!

As blood gushed out, Judith played with the two eyeballs in her hands and said coldly, "Now you are blind."

As she said that, Judith dropped the eyeball in her hand and crushed it right in front of Fergus.

After doing all this, Judith spoke again.

"How about it? Can you still see the moonlight shining on me now?"

Hearing this, Fergus, who was trembling all over due to severe pain, raised his empty, blood-stained, hideous eye sockets, smiled and gave an answer that Judith had not expected.

"Of course I can see it, and the light... is brighter now."

"After all, how can you, who are ugly inside, see the light in your heart?"

"Monster, I am blind in my eyes, but you are blind in your heart! Hahaha!"

Judith: “…”
