They recognized their feelings, but the knight had been reincarnated as a fox cub

Chapter 108: 119~She only has Fei'er in her eyes, and other people are a nuisance

Kaido's body stiffened.

These words were no longer implicit. Coming from Beatrice's mouth, they were completely explicit.

The other party really knew what had happened here a long time ago, and also understood why he came here. He was just playing dumb with them and teasing them.

Kaido raised his eyes and felt that the black-haired girl's eyes at this moment were like a noble hunter admiring the ugly dying struggle of a cornered prey.

From the beginning, they had no escape.

"Not only that, I also found a hole in the tomb that was so long that I couldn't see the end. I have no idea where the other end leads to. I don't know how many days this talented tomb robber took to dig it out of the tomb and then dig it back in. One has to sigh at his perseverance." Beatrice mocked sarcastically. At least on the surface, it seemed that she was just mocking the tomb robber.

"........" Kaido's face looked a little ugly. He knew that it was useless to say anything now. Beatrice was treating them like clowns.

He looked at Fei'er in embarrassment, then looked at Beatrice and the royal guards behind Beatrice.

"Beatrice." The atmosphere did not remain silent for long. Fei'er took off her cloak, and her soft golden hair cascaded down. Her sapphire eyes no longer dodged, and looked directly at the black-haired girl in front of her.

"Ah, what's wrong?~"

"You don't have to do this." Fei'er looked at Beatrice with a blank expression. "This is between you and me, and only between you and me."

".......Ah? You don't plan to continue pretending?" Beatrice was a little surprised. "I was planning to play along with you for a while, so you don't plan to continue playing?"

"You fooled everyone by faking your death like a lizard breaking its tail... My loyal Grand Knight Commander, I thought that at least you would never deceive me. I didn't expect that after so many years away from home, you have become a bad person. Even I was fooled by you." Beatrice's smile was as tempting and deadly as honey coated with poison.

"If you hadn't revealed your true colors in the border town, I would never have thought that you were still alive."

"Oh, of course, all this is thanks to your good apprentice Nia, who, like you, can't even tell a lie."

"............" Nia, who was standing behind Beatrice, remained calm, but her hand subconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword.

"There are not many people in this world who can actively lie to me... Sometimes the more you cover up, the more likely people will notice." Although Beatrice was not speaking to Nia, it was obvious that these words were directed at Nia.

"........Since when did you know that Alins had an affair with the cultists?" Fei'er asked, staring at Beatrice.

"Ah? The first thing you said to me after seeing me again after such a long time is to accuse me of something?" Beatrice looked disappointed. "You are just as unromantic as before."

"You knew it a long time ago, right?" The blonde girl looked at Beatrice with complicated eyes.

"The first thing you said when you said goodbye to me was to accuse me of something I didn't know?" Beatrice raised her eyebrows. "What if I said I didn't know?"

"You should know." Fei'er pondered for a moment.

If Beatrice didn't know anything, could it be that she came up with this idea of ​​driving the tiger to swallow the wolf?

"Okay, okay, if you say so, then so be it, but what if I know?" Beatrice looked at Fei'er with amusement.

"Excuse me, Miss Fei'er, who changed the administrative system of the empire? Who established the Tribunal? Who made the power of the Tribunal equal to that of the nobility and the emperor? And who made it so that even the emperor of the empire could not check and balance the Tribunal?"

"Who is it~?" Beatrice took small steps and moved around Fei'er in a mischievous manner, but her eyes never left Fei'er from beginning to end.

"........."

"Do you understand after realizing it? Excuse me, even if I, a weak and humble empress of the empire, knew that the Grand Knight Commander who controlled the court and held a large number of troops was involved with the cultists, what would I do? What could I do?"

"Except for this royal guard who takes orders directly from me, everything in the Inquisition system is controlled by the Grand Knight. Although the Grand Knight is nominally loyal to the emperor, in reality I can't even order a single knight to do anything, you know?"

"Besides, even if I had the ability to manage it, but I didn't do anything, can I be blamed for it?"

"I'm trying to protect myself for my own safety and don't want to jump out and get beaten. Is this normal?"

"Morality is used to restrain oneself, not to restrain others. This is what you taught me, right? Right? Brother Knight Commander~" Beatrice imitated the previous tone and called Fei'er the way she used to call her.

Beatrice's words were very clear.

Even if she was able to confront Alins, so what? After all, she did not participate in Alins's series of riot plans. At most, she was derelict in her duty, but she could not be said to be an accomplice.

It wasn't her who did all this. It was someone's good apprentice, Alins, who did it. She wasn't involved in the whole process, so what does it have to do with her?

Should we blame her?

"Could it be that Knight Commander is putting all the blame on me who did nothing just because I refused to risk my life to fight Alins?"

"And then judge the criminals, just like we did with Alins just now?" Beatrice tilted her head.

“..........” Fei’er said nothing and lowered her head silently.

"A lot of people died in Batti City and Carlo, right?"

"If we count the casualties caused by the war, the number would be even higher." Beatrice stated these facts without any emotion.

"But in the final analysis, isn't it the Knight Commander who caused all this? ~"

"Your Majesty! Please watch your words!" Kaido frowned.

"Am I not right? If someone didn't trust Alins so much, it wouldn't have come to this point today, right?"

"I trusted the wrong person and caused an irreparable disaster. Should I put the blame on someone who has nothing to do with it?"

These words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into Fei'er's fresh wounds.

“.............” Fei’er closed her eyes tiredly.

"............Master, all this is caused by that idiot Arins. No one forced him. After becoming the Grand Knight Commander, his heart became corrupt. It was also because of his greed that he ended up like this." Seeing the girl's body trembling, Kaido couldn't help but comfort her.

"Moreover, he has paid the price he deserved, and he cannot rest in peace even after death...his soul is enslaved by the demons." Kaido sighed deeply.

Even though he made a big mistake, he is still my senior brother after all, and feelings will not lie.

"Mr. Kaido, your consolation is unnecessary."

"I don't think the Grand Knight is sad at all right now. He's probably still immersed in the self-satisfaction of 'eradicating evil even if it means sacrificing one's own family for the greater good.'" Beatrice mocked.

"You!..." Kaido gritted his teeth. Even though he was a calm person, he became furious when he heard that.

"How does it feel to kill your beloved disciple with your own hands~?" Ignoring Kaido's reaction, Beatrice continued to provoke Fei'er with words.

"........."

"That's right, feel it well, because......"

"You made me feel that way back then, didn't you?" Beatrice's voice suddenly turned cold.

"............You have always cared about this matter." The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Fei'er spoke. You could not tell whether her voice was sad or happy, but you could hear the full exhaustion in it.

"My Grand Knight Commander, are you joking?" Beatrice was amused.

"That's my father, the only relative I have in this world!"

"Back then, you killed him in the palace in front of me, who was young and helpless..." Beatrice's tone began to become uneasy, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly.

"As a young child, I could only watch the person closest to me, the one who treated me best, lying in a pool of blood."

"Have you ever considered my feelings? Have you ever considered who I was back then?"

"Fate, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor." After a long while, Beatrice, who had calmed down, said these words coldly.

"Don't think you can fake your death to avoid debt. No matter where you are, I will make you pay for this blood debt in person!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Fei'er asked.

"How?" Beatrice smiled happily. "I haven't thought about it yet......"

"I can only ask you to kneel down and apologize in front of my father's grave?"

"It's up to you." Fei'er said calmly. "But even if you escort me there, I will only spit on his grave, and forget about anything else."

"............What did you say?" Beatrice smiled dangerously.

"How about scolding him a few more times? It's not impossible." Fei'er's expression remained unchanged.

"Anyway, you want me to apologize. That's impossible." She said in a calm but firm tone.

"That tyrant used up every last drop of blood and sweat of the people just to amass wealth."

"The royal family and nobles were tyrannical in their own territories, forcibly seizing other people's wives and daughters, throwing poor people into oil boilers and boiling them, watching the slaves screaming as they burned, and they took pleasure in doing so. They locked people in cages and slowly sank them into the river, watching the slaves' desperate expressions and laughing at them."

"They wantonly used civilian heads as military merit, slaughtered villages at will, increased taxes, confiscated land, and forced the people to sell their children."

"Too many civilians have been reduced to slavery because they have no food to eat, becoming tools for them to abuse and vent their anger."

"The empire was littered with corpses and starving people... The descendants of slaves will always be slaves. The common people paid the most, but in the end they could not even eat enough. It was common for them to starve to death or freeze to death on the streets. When the nobles saw the common people dying at the gates of their own houses, they would even spit on them and curse them as 'bad luck.'"

"They would rather use the money from exploitation to build an arena for watching slaves fight each other, but are unwilling to spend a penny to improve people's livelihood."

"And the root of all this comes from the hands of that cruel and ruthless tyrant."

"You know, I've seen a lot of demons, but even the most vicious demons are not as cruel as your father."

"It is rare to find someone who can embody human evil so vividly."

"You want me to kneel down and apologize to that kind of person?" Fei'er's voice was no longer calm. "Even if you break my knees, I will only knock over his tablet with my head!"

Kaido and Nia's expressions suddenly changed, and they both looked at Fei'er worriedly.

"Beatrice, no matter what you do to me today, I will never regret what I did."

"It's right for you to avenge your father, but I don't think I did anything wrong."

"Well said." Just as Fei'er finished saying these words, when Beatrice was expected to be furious, she regained her smiling expression, as if she had been joking when she asked Fei'er to kneel before her father.

"Although I knew you would say that, as expected, you only say things like this."

"Beatrice, I really hope that we won't end up fighting each other."

"You are capable enough to be the queen. I have no unreasonable desire for the power in your hands."

"Ah? Did I hear that correctly?" Beatrice looked surprised. "You actually said something soft? Is this still the Fate I know?"

“………” Fei’er remained silent.

If possible, she didn't want to have any more conflicts with any old friends.

"Your Majesty, haven't you always wanted the power of the Inquisition? Now that Grand Knight Commander Arins is dead, I voluntarily give up the position of Deputy Grand Knight Commander of the Inquisition. From now on, the Inquisition will be yours." Kaido suddenly knelt on one knee.

He didn't care about the separation of power, nor did he care about the future of the empire, but he cared about his master.

"Kaido, you........"

"Master! Don't say anything first!" Kaido said hurriedly, fearing that Fei'er would say something that would irritate Beatrice again.

"Is this okay? Tomorrow I will write a letter of resignation and announce that you will take full control of the Tribunal."

"I just hope you can show mercy and let Master go. She just wants to live as an ordinary citizen now. She really has no ability to pose a threat to you and your throne!" Kaido said repeatedly.

"............It's really touching." Beatrice was silent for a moment, and said playfully. "If you commit suicide in front of me, I might consider it?"

"Bi, Cui, Si." Fei'er was a little angry.

"This is a matter between us, don't involve irrelevant people."

"I don't want to either. After all, this is just a matter between us, right?~" Beatrice looked at Fei'er and licked her lips.

"Kaido, go away." After understanding what Beatrice meant, Fei'er took a deep breath.

"Master?............"

"This is a matter between us. It has nothing to do with a junior like you. Go away."

"No, Master, if I leave then you......"

"Leave now, do you hear me?" Fei'er was helpless and became fierce and attacked Kaido. "It's better for one person to leave than for both of us to not be able to leave."

"You are always sensible. Don't ask me to teach you such simple numerical problems."

“Master…”

"I have lived long enough, and it doesn't matter if I die here today. But you are different. You are still young, Kaido, and you can still do a lot of things." At the very end, Fei'er's tone softened, gentle as the gentle breeze and drizzle.

She only has a few disciples left.

"But, Master, you........." Before Kaido could finish his words, Beatrice clapped her hands impatiently. Immediately, two guards came out, carried Kaido and walked out, throwing him out of the fortress.

Beatrice made her meaning very clear. She was not interested in Kaido, his position as Deputy Knight Commander, or the power of the Inquisition.

So they just had him thrown out, and there were no ambushes or anything like that around, so he would definitely not be able to go back. This would make it convenient for him to take over the court once he returned, but that was not the case at all.

Beatrice didn't need to do that, and she wasn't the type to go back on her word.

There is only one reason. In Beatrice's eyes, Kaido is completely ignored. Or, in other words, in her eyes, except Fei'er, everyone else is extremely annoying. She can't wait to get these people out.
